BXBX NOVEL Chapter 428 so scary
Placing her palm onto his, Yue Ling smiles thankfully to him and steps out as well.
Both individual leisurely walks in the direction of the creepy rundown building like they were strolling in the park on a warm and sunny day.
The moment Yue Ling and Lu Tian’s figures disappears inside the building, the short and long hand on the clock struck twelve.
A group of men clothe in all black and wearing masks slowly creep out from within the shadows of nearby alleys. Each person moving carefully and making sure the lights from the lampposts do not give them away.
One by one, they all approach the creepy rundown building and slowly enters after the two people.
"Targets have entered the building."
Across the street from Uncle Zhi’s shop, on the rooftop of a tall building, Liu Shan spoke into the earpiece as Lin Hui and Xu Long crouched near him. All three men held their own night vision binoculars as they kept their positions as the eyes on the front side of the shop.
Surrounding the three men are four other men from Wolf Team with snipers ready to shoot when given order.
["Targets are moving to the back entrance."]
On the other side, Qi Li’s voice sounds through the earpiece of everyone as he stood inside the third floor of another building. He, along with Yiqing and Gui Tian Lan positioned themselves inside the building right behind Uncle Zhi’s shop.
On the opposite side of the man wearing glasses, Gui Tian Lan and Yiqing sat in front of their own window. Both men kept their eyes glued on the alley down below.
From where they sat, they have a clear and perfect view of the back door into the shop.
Down below in the alley that separated Uncle Zhi’s shop and the building the three men were in, a group of five men wearing black clothes and masks can be seen moving amongst the dark fences.
"Targets have reached the back."
Yiqing spoke as he watch the five people move closer and closer to the back entrance. Slowly raising his right arm, his index and middle finger points up.
Waiting for the right moment, he swiftly gives a signal.
*Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
Just as he gave the signal, all five men below are shot in the head by the nearby snipers of Wolf Team. However, the moment their bodies touched the hard ground, another group clothe in black tactical gears approach the dead men and carried their bodies away.
It was as if no source of life had stepped foot in the dark alley.
Qi Li stares out the window and his eyes darkened. He lift his hand and his right index touches the earpiece.
"Targets approaching at 7 o’clock."
["Targets approaching at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock."]
Right after Qi Li’s voice sounds another alert to everyone, so did Xu Long’s voice. Everyone stood in their position as they prepare their guns for the fight that is about to take place.
While the situation outside slowly changed into a heated battlefield, inside the rundown building, Yue Ling and Lu Tian slowly walked the long and dark hallway that connects to Uncle Zhi’s shop.
The footsteps behind were quiet and unnoticeable but not for the couple. They could hear the footsteps as clear as day. Reaching the door that leads into the shop, Lu Tian’s hand touches the doorknob of the door they had put up in replace of the once metal door.
Turning the knob, he pulls the door open. As Yue Ling enters the shop, he did not forget to place a kiss on the side of her head. Their small gesture was like a lovely couple without a care about the flaws in the world.
However, once Yue Ling was inside, Lu Tian did not follow but slowly closes the door behind her.
Knowing that she is inside and safe with Uncle Zhi and Lian Ni Shang, he slowly turns around to face the direction they had entered.
His dark eyes stares ahead into the long hallway. Even though there was little light, Lu Tian was able to make out the figures hiding in the shadows of the two walls.
"Who sent you?"
"Hahah!"
A sinister laugh howls in response as it echoes inside. Following came the sound of heavy footsteps.
Six dark figures emerge from the shadows to reveal themselves and stood in an orderly row of two due to the narrow hallway.
The man in the front left side lightly claps his hand like was applauding to a great show.
"Mr. Lu, you are very impressive as the rumors says."
He has never met Lu Tian in person but has heard many things about the aloof man. Each time Lu Tian stepped foot inside Retro, he (the man) was always sent away on orders.
However, to meet the legendary man that many in the underworld fear, it is indeed his honor. Even he wants to test why this man (Lu Tian) is so feared.
Lu Tian’s dark eyes were as calm as the ocean. Even with six men all from the underworld standing in front of him, his expression remained indifferent like he was in a business meeting.
His eyes slowly blink, and he reaches into his back pocket. All six men became alert, but seeing him take out his wallet, they were dumfounds. He gestures like he was handing it to the Man 1.
"Take it and leave."
Seeing this, everyone laughs in ridicule. Did Lu Tian actually think they were here to rob him?
"I never knew the almighty Lu Tian was this stupid."
"Instead of a wallet, how about you give us each a blank cheque?"
"The rumored man in Imperial doesn’t look so scary to me. Hahah!"
The five men standing behind Man 1 chuckle in words at Lu Tian. From the looks of it, it should be said that Lu Tian is only scary when he has his men with him. Seeing him now, he is nothing but a person afraid of being robbed.
Man 1 slightly tilt his head and smiles under his mask. He takes out a pocketknife from his pocket and walks towards Lu Tian.
"Mr. Lu, you are a smart businessman that many of us fear."
As he nears Lu Tian, he slows to a stop and points the tip of the knife at the wallet.
"I think we all know that you are already aware of who sent us and why we are here. If you know what is best for you, leave."
He spoke his words in full of confidence. However, for some reason he couldn’t help but struggle a hard and difficult gulp.
The look in Lu Tian’s eyes sent a chilling shiver not only to Man 1, but also to the five men who were laughing seconds ago.
There was only one of him and six of them, but his figure alone in the dimly lit hallway gave a more menacing vibe than theirs combined. It was as if they had walked straight into death’s door.
*Swoosh— Thud—
Before anyone could react, the pocketknife in Man 1’s hand disappears followed by the sound of a body hitting the ground.
"..."
The man standing next to Man 1 was now laying on the floor with the pocketknife in his forehead and eyes widely open as he entered death.
None of the four men standing behind saw what happened but Man 1 did. If he had blinked his eyes, he would have missed everything.
Lu Tian had actually snatched the knife using the wallet and threw it at their now dead brother. It happened at lighting speed, but he saw. It was like Lu Tian was playing a game of dart.
Quickly coming to their senses, everyone’s eyes turned sharp and murderous. They had kept their guard down because Lu Tian was alone. However...
"Shoot him! He killed our brother!"
One of the men roars in rage as each person reach for their guns. However, just as they touched the cold handle of their guns, Lu Tian was faster.
His right hand swiftly reaches to grab the gun he had hidden behind him and shoots down at Man 1.
*Pu—
"Arrrgghh—!!"
Man 1 drops to the ground as he clutch tightly onto his now bloody foot that received the bullet.
*Pu—
Right after the first bullet was sent, so did the second one. It aims straight into the forehead of another man and sends him to death’s door.
Striding towards the remaining men still standing, his expression did not flinch at all.
The man standing in the far back was in disbelief. His eyes widens like was seeing a monster. Gathering himself together, he fires a shot at Lu Tian.
*Pu—
However, his eyes widens more with red veins when his target dodged the bullet.
Lu Tian’s head tilt to the right as the bullet passes by him. He swiftly grabs the pocketknife that stuck on the forehead of first man he killed.
*Swoosh— Pu! Pu!
Without pausing in his every step, he throws the pocketknife at the man before firing two more shots.
The man who shot the missed bullet turns around and tries to run in the direction they had came from, but the moment his back turned to Lu Tian, the pocketknife pierce the back of his head. Following that stab was the painful pressure caused by a bullet hitting the knife’s rear bolster.
As the man slump onto the ground, so did his brother next to him as the second bullet sent from Lu Tian penetrated his forehead.
Both men were unable to grasp the situation as they already entered death’s door.
*Pu! Pu! Pu!
The sound of silent gunshots rang throughout the dimly lit hallway as Lu Tian calmly takes down the men who came for his wife. He was like a protector of the door that leads to his wife.
