Chapter 845: In The Telescope
Phil was already panicking, but he refused to believe Lucas no matter what.
Was he joking?
Lucas had just casually thrown out a few peanuts. How could he kill the four snipers hundreds of meters away?
Even if they were standing still, it was impossible for someone to throw a peanut a few hundred meters away!
Besides, the snipers were on high ground around them, and they were all ambushing in different areas. All the locations were safe and concealed. How could Lucas just throw a few peanuts and kill them?
It was simply too far-fetched!
“Snipers! What are you doing? Hurry up and shoot. Shoot him!” Phil yelled frantically into the walkie-talkie.
But their corpses were already turning cold. How could they possibly hear Phil’s order?
All he got in response was a suffocating silence.
“Quickly take a look! There are bullet holes in the windows!”
All of a sudden, a young man from the Dempseys crouching and hiding by the windows in fear happened to see a few bullet holes on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The people standing around him immediately turned to look at the windows. There were indeed four small bullet holes on the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
“These are really four bullet holes.! The snipers must have fired just now!”
“But… I didn’t hear any gunshots!”
“If the snipers really fired, why are these two bastards still alive? Where did the bullets go?”
“Could they have… missed?”
...
The Dempseys were all bewildered.
They clearly saw the four bullet holes, but their targets were still alive in front of them. It was beyond comprehension!
“It’s impossible for the bullets to miss! The snipers are top international ones that we hired at a high price, and they have a hit rate of over ninety-nine percent. They have very few cases of missing. Not to mention, the possibility of all four of them missing and missing at the same time is almost zero!” A Dempsey who knew the inside story immediately argued.
At this moment, someone finally realized something and stammered, “Is it possible that… th-these holes weren’t left by the snipers but… th-the peanuts!”
When he said the word ‘peanuts’, he shuddered violently.
“What?!”
All the Dempseys seemed to be struck by lightning and stood frozen in place.
Peanuts… Didn’t that mean that these small holes were actually pierced by the peanuts that Lucas had casually thrown out?!
Was this even possible?
Dumbfounded, everyone looked at Lucas, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Lucas smiled faintly. As if he was kindly helping them solve their confusion, he once again picked up a peanut from the table and flicked it.
Bang!
Everyone was aghast to find a fifth small hole in the windows that originally only had four holes!
The size and diameter of the small hole were exactly the same as the four holes just now!
These small holes had actually really been pierced by the peanuts Lucas threw!
Everyone couldn’t help inhaling sharply!
Peanuts were a common food that they had eaten countless times since childhood!
Yet the peanuts he flicked were just like bullets shot out of a gun. It was something unprecedented that they had never seen or heard of before!
It wasn’t something that humans were capable of doing at all!
The more terrifying thing was that the peanuts in Lucas’s hand contained power comparable to bullets shot from a sniper rifle. They could kill people several hundred meters away!
The power, range, and especially precision were simply unimaginable!
Didn’t that mean that if Lucas wanted to, he could easily kill all of them with the flick of a handful of peanuts, and they wouldn’t have the chance to escape?
“No… no, no! I don’t believe it!” Phil obviously also thought of this, but he yelled maniacally, unable to believe the truth at all.
“No! It must be because there’s something wrong with the walkie-talkie. They failed to hear my orders! Quickly, get me a telescope! I want to take a look!” Phil shouted in panic.
Lucas remained sitting without stopping him.
He sat calmly in his seat like he was watching a show. With a smile on his lips, he watched the Dempseys panic.
Soon, a young man from the Dempseys ran over with a telescope.
Phil grabbed the telescope and set it up on a table near the window with trembling hands. He looked at the positions of the few snipers that he knew beforehand.
The first sniper was on the top floor of a commercial building opposite the Maestro International Hotel, about 400 meters away.
Through the lens of the telescope, Phil clearly saw that the sniper was lying on the ground. A small stream of blood mixed with white brain matter was flowing out from between his eyebrows.
Phil’s hand shook, and he almost knocked the telescope over.
Refusing to give up, he gritted his teeth and turned the telescope to face an office building in another direction. The second sniper was lurking in an empty room on the seventh floor.
But just like the first sniper, Phil saw another body.
The second sniper’s face was resting on the window, and there was also a black hole between his eyebrows. His eyes were wide open, and his face still had the look of confusion from the moment he died.
Next, the third sniper…
The fourth sniper…
All of them were dead!
Phil couldn’t bear it any longer. He suddenly dropped the telescope, and his entire body was overwhelmed with fear. All the strength and energy in his body were instantly drained away. Unable to stand firm any longer, he fell to the floor powerlessly.
“You… You’re a devil! You… You…” He shuddered while looking at Lucas, his wrinkled face full of fear.
Based on Phil’s current appearance, everyone knew that the four international top snipers that the Dempseys had arranged must have been wiped out.
They had all died from the peanuts that Lucas had flicked out!
Not only the Dempseys, but even the Stones were utterly astonished. They almost fainted after hearing this shocking fact!
