Chapter 540 - Battle (2/2)

…

Why did their men keep getting killed? Evil Dragon and Skeleton noticed that something didn’t seem right and hurriedly raised their concerns to Khun Sa.

“Eight casualties and all of them were around where Lynx is? What is going on here?” Khun Sa, who was in a jeep, furrowed his brows.

Evil Dragon nodded respectfully. “According to what Lynx had said, Mie is back, and all eight of them were killed by Mie,” he answered.

Khun Sa chuckled as he thought out loud and said, “How did he know that his opponent was Mie? If he was able to spot Mie but was Mie not able to spot him, why didn’t he just finish him off?”

“Boss, are you suspecting Lynx? But I’m sure that was Lynx’s voice–there was no way it could’ve been Mie,” Evil Dragon said.

Khun Sa raised his hand and cut him off. “I’m not suspecting his identity, but I’m sure he’s betraying us,” he said.

Evil Dragon and Skeleton glanced at one another. Since their boss had said that Lynx was a traitor, then he must be betraying them. Khun Sa had never ever made a wrong judgment, and when it came to traitors, they hated them to the core.

“Hurry up and rush to where Lynx was at. I don’t care if it’s Mie or Lynx, whoever you find there, just kill them!” Khun Sa pulled on his cigar smoke and then exhaled the smoke out from his nose.

“Understood.”

Evil Dragon and Skeleton replied.

…

Mercenaries from all over received Evil Dragon and Skeleton’s order and slowly headed toward Xiao Luo’s last known location.

After a while, Xiao Luo had a nagging feeling that something was not quite right. The walkie-talkie chatter had suddenly gone quiet.

“It’s about time we leave.”

Xiao Luo packed up the ammunition and his rifle and got ready to leave with Sarah.

But at that moment, he detected a familiar sound–the whump of mortar rounds! A salvo of mortar shells was screaming in their direction, and before he knew it, they smashed into the top of the building they are at.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It was a relentless barrage as shells landed with violent explosions nearby, and the walls of the apartment unit collapsed one after another. Debris and falling concrete beams came crashing down as the entire building unit started crumbling.

Xiao Luo rushed toward Sarah and threw himself over her immediately. They were crouched on the floor, and Xiao Luo took the brunt of falling debris and was slightly injured.

Before he could even get up, a sniper bullet fired from an L115A3 sniper rifle penetrated through multiple obstructions and flew toward him. There was no time for Xiao Luo to avoid it, and he instantly raised his palms out.

ROAR!

A force emanated from his hand with the roar of a dragon, as Xiao Luo placed his palm in the trajectory of the incoming bullet. Bricks and debris swirled around in a tornado above him, and Xiao Luo used the same force that changed the course of a mortar shell to slow the speeding bullet, although he couldn’t stop it completely stop it.

THUD!

The shot went right through Xiao Luo’s left shoulder, and blood splattered on the wall behind him.

“Mr. Mie!” Sarah cried. She was so shocked that her eyes were wide open.

“Lie down and don’t move!”

Xiao Luo shouted at her and tried to ignore the pain in his left shoulder. He quickly rushed toward the balcony and aimed his sniper rifle at the thermal sensor mounted on the rail above the L115A3 sniper rifle.

BANG!

The sniper bullet flew out of the muzzle, carrying a potent destructive force within it as it streaked through the air, and it instantly shattered the thermal sensor.

“Oh, sh*t!”

The look on Evil Dragon’s face changed. He pulled the bolt back to chamber a cartridge and continued to engage in a sniping battle against Xiao Luo. All the other mercenaries pointed their guns toward the balcony and fired in unison.
