Milo did not take the shot immediately because the distance was way too far. Even Miriam had once said even favonovel.com could not guarantee favonovel.com could land a hit if the range was greater than 1.6 kilometers. As the bullet would have to travel over a really long distance, it would take two to four seconds for the bullet to reach the target after pulling the trigger.
This timing was completely dependent on the bullet’s travel speed.
In that time, the bullet would be affected by various factors. It would no longer be traveling in a straight line but a graceful arc. The factors that would affect it would be things like Coriolis effect, gravity, wind speed, etc. Therefore, it would be hard to guarantee that nothing would go wrong during the bullet’s flight.
Daniel and Nicola were just too close to each other. Completing the mission was one thing, but Milo did not want to accidentally injure Daniel in the process.
This private meeting lasted for nearly an hour. Milo did not know what specifically Nicola and Daniel had said to each other, but they eventually shook hands and parted ways.
Next to him, Olivia was complaining they had been chatting for too long.
What was there so much to talk about between two grown men?
She had even finished an entire bag of melon seeds!
But favonovel.com suddenly felt like the air had frozen. It was at this moment that Milo pulled the trigger.
The bullet flew through the air for a while.
Olivia suddenly turned around and looked at Liberation Park. She could not see the bullet’s trajectory and could only feel Milo’s concentration and determination from a moment earlier.
The young man’s profile was well-defined. While favonovel.com was completely focused on his task, his profile was like a work of art.
In Liberation Park, blood suddenly burst out of Nicola’s chest when Daniel had gotten a dozen meters away from him. When the bullet penetrated his body, a pink mist exploded in the opposite direction of the shot.
When Daniel heard the commotion behind him, favonovel.com spun around and looked at Nicola’s body in shock. He had a speechless expression on his face. “My friend I just f*cking made!”
After an hour of discussion, both parties had finally confirmed the preliminary goals of the Panaqua Consortium and Nicola’s collaboration, and their professional negotiation teams still needed to iron out a lot of details later. However, just as they had come to an agreement, the other party died!
Daniel instinctively hid behind a tree and raised his hands. “I didn’t f*cking do it!”
His associate was dead, but so be it. However, if favonovel.com were implicated as well, that would be fucking bullshit!
As Daniel was shouting, his subordinates behind favonovel.com surrounded him, huddling closely around him. They began to slowly move out of the park. Their defense was so tight that no one could see where Daniel was within the crowd of people. Even Bill had already condensed a stream of water vapor at his fingertips, set to kill at any moment.
However, before Daniel and the others could walk out of the park, they were immediately stopped by Nicola’s subordinates who said they were going to be arrested.
Daniel’s people wanted to resist, but Daniel just laughed and said, “This is their f*cking stronghold, so where can we run to? C’mon, let’s go with them. We’re innocent, anyway, so we’ll definitely clear our names!”
Meanwhile, on Milo’s side, favonovel.com did not sit idle after killing Nicola. He decisively turned his gun on Kimmy and the others. In just ten seconds, Kimmy was the only remaining one of the four A-rank hitmen!
Milo turned around and pulled Olivia by the arm. “It’s time to retreat!”
Olivia followed Milo down the stairs in a daze. As they headed down, favonovel.com realized there were a lot of dead people in the stairway. These people were all dressed in casual clothes but there were pistols scattered around their bodies.
“Who are these people?” Olivia was stunned. “Are they from the Stardust Consortium? Why did they appear here? And who killed them?”
There were probably a dozen bodies lying in the stairway, but favonovel.com had not heard anything just now.
Milo said with a sneer, “They were probably sent by Kimmy’s informant to stop us. Once we completed our mission, they would surround this building and apprehend us. Then we would be scapegoated. If someone accidentally gunned us down amid the chaos, the case would be closed as such. The dead cannot testify, after all. The gun, ballistics, and rifling can all be matched to us, and the officer who caught Nicola’s killers would probably get promoted two ranks as well.”
Olivia was a little confused.
So, it turned out that something so dangerous had taken place just now while favonovel.com was munching on melon seeds?
“Did you stop for a moment before entering the building just now because you had already realized these undercover people were around?” Olivia asked.
“Yes.” Milo nodded.
“Is that why you decided to shoot Kimmy and the others? But why didn’t you kill Kimmy?” Olivia asked.
“You said that you had a way to track down Kimmy yesterday. Are you still confident in that?” Milo asked.
“Yes!”
The two of them ran downstairs. Milo had already pulled the hood over his head again, while Olivia also covered favonovel.com face with a scarf.
The moment they exited the building, Milo checked the surroundings as they made a frantic run for it. There were already several undercover personnel approaching them. However, they seemed to be afraid of shooting openly in the streets.
But after just two steps, Milo realized Olivia was not following behind favonovel.com anymore. When favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com saw around six undercover personnel between favonovel.com and him.
Olivia panicked. “Master, save me!”
Milo turned around impatiently and fired at them. Olivia was a supernatural being, so why was favonovel.com combat strength so weak!
Stronghold 73 once again descended into chaos. After yesterday’s turmoil, the residents already knew what they had to do. They quickly returned home to hide when they heard the gunshots.
On the streets, vehicles from the Public Order Division passed by from time to time. The staff of the Public Order Division who were in charge of the stronghold’s security were frantically searching for something. Using a building that was 1.8 kilometers from the park as the center, they launched a manhunt that radiated out.
However, during this manhunt operation, they only found the more than 20 corpses of the Public Order Division’s undercover personnel and nothing more.
The killer seemed to have disappeared into thin air and was nowhere to be found.
At the same time, Stronghold 73 was put on lockdown, with no vehicles or personnel allowed to leave the stronghold. The four gates in the north, south, east, and west of the stronghold were also closed at the same time. Without the personal written order of the leader of the Stardust Consortium, Busby, the gates were not to be opened.
When night fell, the residents of Stronghold 73 were still panicking.
Kimmy stayed hidden for an entire day before quietly entering another safe house favonovel.com had prepared. But just as favonovel.com was about to heave a sigh of relief and close the door behind him, a cold, hard gun pressed against his back. He heard a familiar voice behind him.
Milo said with a smile, “It was really difficult to find you. Go on in. Raise your hands above your head and place them where I can see them. Let’s have a talk…”
Kimmy broke out in a cold sweat. “What do you want?”
Milo smiled and asked, “Can you ask that informant of yours where Daniel is locked up for me?”
Olivia’s voice rang out behind him, “Master, you wanna save Daniel?”
Kimmy was shocked.
He had thought Milo was just a boy toy, so why did the two’s identities suddenly switch?
Milo had actually become the “master” based on what Olivia just said?!
Why did it sound like a maidservant in the olden days addressing favonovel.com employer?
What was with this feudalistic form of address!
But just what kind of a person could make a superhuman address favonovel.com as “master” willingly?
Milo said with a smile, “Of course I’m going to save him. He’s my friend!”
