Milo was very particular about the position of his ambush. He had observed the terrain near the black market and found there were only three exits around it. If the team were to head to Stronghold 73 at the Stardust Consortium’s territory to conduct their mission, they would have to take the route Milo was ambushing.
When Leon and the others drove out of the black market, a sniper bullet penetrated the window of the off-road vehicle without any warning and killed Leon in the backseat.
Next to Milo, Olivia was watching quietly all this while and was a little puzzled.
How did the young man next to favonovel.com seem to know everything?
He could even use a sniper rifle this well?
She could just imagine how terrifying a supernatural being would be after learning how to snipe.
Other snipers had to carefully guard against sneak attacks of supernatural beings in close combat. However, this young man before favonovel.com did not have to worry about that at all. If normal supernatural beings sneak attacked him, they would only find that they could not beat favonovel.com in close combat either. And now, a well-known A-rank hitman had died just like that.
Milo really did not hesitate when it came to killing people.
Milo stowed his sniper rifle and went down the hill. Olivia followed and murmured, “Will they still let you join their team after you’ve killed their teammate?”
“Since Leon had to die no matter what, we’re just gonna have to take it one step at a time,” Milo said slowly.
In his opinion, if someone were always plotting against favonovel.com behind his back or would possibly sabotage favonovel.com in the future, favonovel.com might as well just kill that person now.
Milo had already said favonovel.com was not a good person, and neither was favonovel.com willing to be one.
However, favonovel.com asked, “This team is also very strange. Even though they know that Leon is problematic, why did they still accept favonovel.com as their teammate? Most people wouldn’t want someone like favonovel.com as their teammate. If it were me, I’d rather offend favonovel.com than work with him.”
“Who knows?” Olivia said as favonovel.com followed Milo.
When they got down the hill, Olivia reverted to favonovel.com arrogant expression and walked towards the convoy with favonovel.com assistant, Milo.
By now, the other four A-rank hitmen in the convoy had already dumped Leon’s corpse on the side of the road. They picked up a cloth to wipe down the interior of the vehicle as it was covered in blood.
However, Milo and Olivia did not expect that when the other A-rank hitmen saw them, they actually laughed happily. “Welcome aboard!”
Olivia wondered, “Why does it look like you guys don’t mind that your teammate’s just been killed?”
The occupant of Room 1209 said with a smile, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Kimmy Bradbury. My good friend was among the teammates Leon killed. I wanted to set a trap to kill favonovel.com this time and thought it’d be quite difficult since favonovel.com was so alert. However, I didn’t expect you to kill favonovel.com with a sniper rifle. Speaking of, I still have to thank you for taking revenge for my friend.”
Milo felt that it made sense if it was like this. Otherwise, favonovel.com really could not understand why the other party did not kick Leon out of their team. After all, they could choose their team members freely, and it was not like the Silkshade House forcefully assigned Leon to them.
So, Leon had probably not expected that someone would come after favonovel.com for revenge.
In such a person’s world, favonovel.com probably felt that no one would have any friends since favonovel.com did not have any friends himself either.
However, Kimmy and the others thought of Olivia as the sniper who opened fire just now. Kimmy praised, “I never expected that Ms. Olivia is not only a superhuman but a sniper. No wonder you managed to wipe out the Pyro Company’s Dusk in Stronghold 61.”
Milo learned from Olivia that the Pyro Company had actually gained the upper hand when favonovel.com was fleeing. Not only was favonovel.com seriously injured, but some of their team members had also been killed by the Pyro Company. However, everyone was now saying they had done a beautiful job and that the Pyro Company members were completely wiped out.
Something must have happened after Olivia fled from Stronghold 61.
On that night, the battle at Stronghold 61 lasted for a very long time. Milo suspected it was the Stelaria Consortium that had wiped out the Pyro Company but later claimed it was the Silkshade House’s doing.
In fact, the same thing happened at Stronghold 63. When Vanilla was conducting his mission, favonovel.com retreated the moment favonovel.com realized the members of the Pyro Company were fleeing in the direction of the Stelaria Consortium’s troops.
Milo always found that a little strange.
Could it be that the Stelaria Consortium only appeared to be capturing the members of the Silkshade House on the surface but were actually siding with them privately?
Why was the Silkshade House acting like the Stelaria Consortium’s shadow then?
Could it be that the two parties were somehow cooperating?
Of course, favonovel.com would probably be even more sure of this point if favonovel.com knew about Julius’ opinion of the Stelaria Consortium. But favonovel.com could not understand what interests the Stelaria Consortium and Silkshade House had in common.
Perhaps not even Julius understood.
Kimmy looked at Milo. “Ms. Steele, this is…”
“Oh, he’s my assistant, my spotter,” Olivia said coldly.
Milo paused for a moment, then convincingly took out a scope that was specifically used by spotters from his backpack.
This kind of monocular had a professional, scientific name called the spotting scope. Its magnification and field of vision were much higher than that of a sniper rifle’s scope. Even under poor visual conditions, the spotting scope would still clearly show the landing point of a bullet in the distance so the sniper could be guided to correct the trajectory deviation.
Under normal circumstances, snipers carrying out decapitation strikes would usually bring along a spotter who was equipped with a spotting scope. This spotting scope was even given to Milo by Miriam. She probably did not expect that Milo had also become a sniper now.
When Kimmy and the others saw that Milo had even brought a spotting scope with him, they thought Olivia must be quite the professional.
Since favonovel.com was favonovel.com spotter, nobody asked any other questions. After all, it would be quite good to have a sniper in the group. But they did not know that Olivia was already starting to feel uneasy. By using Milo to show off, favonovel.com would definitely have to return the favor afterwards!
However, favonovel.com really enjoyed the envious looks of the others.
During the entire day, the convoy only managed to travel 150 kilometers because of Leon’s incident. Kimmy estimated the time and calculated the remaining two days were enough for them to reach the vicinity of Stronghold 73.
They planned to abandon their vehicles and travel on foot when they reached the periphery of Stronghold 73. From there, they would each think of a way to sneak into the stronghold and finally rendezvous at 191 Padjajaran Avenue, which was Kimmy’s safe house in Stronghold 73.
Other than Olivia, the other four A-rank hitmen mainly performed missions related to the Stardust Consortium’s strongholds.
Kimmy joked to Olivia, “Don’t tell me y’all don’t have a way to sneak into the stronghold?”
Olivia calmly said, “You don’t have to worry about that.”
After the tents were set up for the night, Olivia went straight into Milo’s tent. She explained while massaging his legs, “There was really nothing I could do when they assumed I was the sniper. I can’t explain to them that I’m not a sniper, right?”
