Chapter 542: Gunshots
Mrs. Kurt looked at Eleven in shock. As things happened too suddenly, she was a little afraid. The elderly couple lived in a very simple world and were inevitably terrified as this was their first mishap.
To Eleven, the elderly woman’s gaze was like a little needle pricking on her skin. While it was not particularly painful, it could be clearly felt. Eleven could feel the elderly woman’s judgemental look.
It was hard for someone to simply accept her for who she was, and Eleven laughed at how Meng Lianying sabotaged it all. While she had no more qualms about it, she was not a newbie killer and ought not to be fazed by how others judged her.
Meng Lianying could see through Eleven’s thoughts and evilly scooted up to Mrs. Kurt’s ears whilst looking at Eleven with a vicious yet gorgeous smile. “I’m sure our old lady doesn’t know who these two are. One of them is a top international killer who kills as though she breathes air, and the other is The Godfather of The Mafia. Look at these ‘heavyweights’ you’ve taken into your house. THEY will be the very reason you perish here.”
“Meng Lianying, enough!” Eleven coldly spoke as she squinted her eyes dangerously. “I’m here. Release the Kurts,” she flatly said.
“What’s the rush? I’m no fool to let them go. Who here, given your formidable skills, is a match for you?”
“What exactly do you want?” Eleven coldly smiled.
“I do not want anything. I just want YOUR LIFE,” Meng Lianying smiled evilly as she looked at Mo Ye. Mo Ye coldly looked at her as though she was some stranger.
As Meng Lianying felt a heartache, she stood even taller.
“So you think you’re fit to ask for my life eh?” Eleven coldly laughed as her slightly askew hair covered the harshness in her gaze as she secretly counted the number of operatives in the house. The operatives, while incredibly skilled, were aplenty.
If each of them fired once, she would immediately be shot up. She knew that she was facing a trap she could not afford to set off.
“Dear Meng Lianying, that explains why he’s duped you,” Eleven coldly laughed. “How could a shrewd and vicious woman win a man’s affection? Chances are your sister doesn’t like you too.”
“Shut up!” Meng Lianying’s face changed as she pointed the gun at Eleven and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bullets flew and Mo Ye panicked. As he was about to grab her hand and pull it away, Eleven grabbed him in a reverse-grip and the both of them dodged aside. Even if Mo Ye was fast enough, he would not be able to get himself out of the bullet’s path fast enough and he would definitely be hurt. Things were different for her.”
The bullet missed its target and left a bullet hole as it hit the steel door of the scrapyard.
“Eleven...” Mo Ye rejoiced. As men responded most directly and truthfully in times of crises, Eleven unhesitatingly protecting him gave him hope. If it weren’t for the austere situation, he would have definitely hugged her and never let her go.
Eleven coldly looked at Mo Ye and Meng Lianying’s eye became reddened by her maddening jealousy. How dare they... How dare they... stand in the line of fire for each other right before her very eyes!? That damn Eleven!
“Little Seven, Anthony...” The Kurts curled up as they were afraid of the gunfire. Mrs. Kurt, who was the most afraid, murmured their names.
“Mrs. Kurt, please don’t be afraid and close your eyes. Whatever that’s happening has nothing to do with you,” Mo Ye said as he looked at her steely. The Kurts, seemingly assured by his determined gaze, nodded.
Eleven coldly laughed. “Meng Lianying, how on earth did you become flustered as heck after just a few words from me? While I am a killer and have killed many, I’ve never harmed anybody innocent.”
“Shut up!” Meng Lianying coldly laughed. “So what if I’m shrewd and you’re in the light? I still have you in my grasp. Eleven, you won’t be able to retaliate if I kill you today!”
“And then? What are you going to get from killing her?” Mo Ye flatly asked with a malicious and insidious gaze. “Meng Lianying, expect the terrorist organization and the Mafia to hunt you to the corners of the earth should we not make it out of here alive. Can your Russian Operative Organization take the heat?”
“Haha! Are you referring to Birmingham and company?” Meng Lianying laughed crazily as though she was mocking Mo Ye’s naivety. “Do you think that I can’t keep a few Intelligence rats silent?”
Mo Ye remained calm. Eleven raised her wrist and smiled as she opened her wristwatch. Her wristwatch was a micro-transmitter which clearly displayed Chu Li’s face on the screen. “Scheming Chu, say hi to them.”
“Eleven, stay safe,” Scheming Chu replied and looked at them before turning off the transmitter. While there was satellite coverage on the mountains, they were in a dead zone in the mountains. Eleven improvised by pulling out Chu Li’s recording so that she could buy time.
“You...”
“Do you think that we would be running a cloak-and-dagger operation like five years ago?” Eleven coldly looked at Mo Ye. “Others may be dumb enough not to see through it, but it doesn’t mean that my family is as dumb.”
While she did not clearly mention names, everybody knew who she was referring to. She almost never mentioned Mo Ye’s name.
Mo Ye had an extremely malicious and insidious look!
“So what if they know? Rout and destroy us? What a joke!” Meng Lianying calmed down before instantly showing a terrifying look. “I want you f***ing dead!”
Meng Lianying once again pointed her pistol at Eleven. Mo Ye stared at her. “Meng Lianying, stop! What exactly do you want? Don’t act rashly.”
“Are you afraid? The more afraid you are, the more I want to kill me. Mo Ye, you’ve never been this worried about me before.” Meng Lianying roared in indignation with a terrifying gaze.
“Mo Ye, shut up!” Eleven coldly barked. Didn’t he know that Meng Lianying hated her even more with each time he stood up for her? He better not say anything and quietly watch from the sidelines.
How could Mo Ye not know that all it took was for Meng Lianying to really shoot...
“Little Seven, don’t kill Little Seven!” Mrs. Kurt suddenly spoke as she pulled Meng Lianying’s wrist. Meng Lianying, who was in a rage, kicked Mrs. Kurt away.
“Meng Lianying!” Eleven and Mo Ye barked simultaneously as they looked at her angrily. Eleven wished she could immediately kill her. Mrs. Kurt, who was kicked by Meng Lianying, clutched her abdomen in pain as Mr. Kurt hugged her sadly...
“You f***ing depraved b****!” Mo Ye said through gritted teeth. “What does our feud have to do with them? Meng Lianying, we’re here. Let the elderly couple go and don’t implicate innocents.”
“I just don’t want to! Unless...” Meng Lianying pointed at Eleven angrily as she coldly smiled. “Unless she stands still and allows me to shoot her thrice.”
Mo Ye was utterly shocked as Eleven coldly laughed. To take three shots from her... wasn’t that the same as dying?
The suave man behind Meng Lianying smiled gently as though he was attentively watching a movie. He tucked his hands behind him and stood orderly, whereas Meng Lianying had a twisted look on her face.
“What? You don’t dare? Then don’t blame me for implicating the elderly couple,” Meng Lianying pointed the gun at Mrs. Kurt. “I’ll count to three. Say no, and I’ll shoot her thrice.”
Mo Ye was utterly shocked. Damn it! Since cursing would get him nowhere, the two of them would be able to easily take them down if it weren’t for the Kurts.
But they were held hostage by their Achilles’ heel...
“One...”
“Stop counting! I agree!” Eleven bit out.
“Eleven!” Mo Ye panicked and looked flustered. Eleven looked at him calmly and gently said, “Whatever it is, keep the elderly couple safe.”
“To think that our cold and ruthless top killer has such a gentle side to her. Very well then. Mo Ye, f*** off!” Meng Lianying suddenly pointed her gun at Eleven.
She would not simply gun her down but torture her. Hmm, where shall she begin? The woman thought evilly. The tension in the scrapyard was notched up.
“Little Seven, leave with Anthony... Don’t worry about us,” Mr. Kurt said with a wise look. “They are vicious and will never spare you two. We’re old, so it’s okay...”
“Shut up, old hag!” Meng Lianying barked.
“Why are you, such a young lady, so vicious?” Mrs. Kurt accused her despite her circumstances. “You’re pretty and capable but this evil. Weren’t you properly brought up?”
“Shut up!” Meng Lianying barked as she suddenly fired at Mrs. Kurt. Eleven, in panic, threw a concealable weapon that hit Meng Lianying’s wrist. The gun was knocked off-aim and hit next to Mrs. Kurt. Mrs. Kurt was scared stiff.
‘Meng Lianying, how dare you fire at the elderly! You’re utterly depraved!’
Eleven threw her concealable weapon, igniting the already-tense atmosphere. The bodyguards around the Kurts subconsciously fired at Eleven and Mo Ye...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Four to five men fired at once.
The men who were initially stationed along the outer perimeter were about to fire until Zero, who had remained silent throughout, gestured to them to stop. The five men were the only men to fire at them.
Eleven zipped around extremely quickly to the point everybody could not clearly see how she moved. She intercepted all the bullets fired and fired them back. A bullet raced for Meng Lianying between her eyes.
The five men could not dodge in time and fell by the bullets. Zero, who was behind Meng Lianying, grabbed the lethal bullet that zipped past Meng Lianying and was knocked back.
He was as quick as a phantom.
Eleven was extremely shocked. This man... Just as Eleven took those few men down, Mo Ye protected the Kurts.
