Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Gunshots (1/2)

Mrs. Kurt looked at Eleven in shock. As things happened too suddenly, she was a little afraid. The elderly couple lived in a very simple world and were inevitably terrified as this was their first mishap.

To Eleven, the elderly woman’s gaze was like a little needle p.r.i.c.king on her skin. While it was not particularly painful, it could be clearly felt. Eleven could feel the elderly woman’s judgemental look.

It was hard for someone to simply accept her for who she was, and Eleven laughed at how Meng Lianying sabotaged it all. While she had no more qualms about it, she was not a newbie killer and ought not to be fazed by how others judged her.

Meng Lianying could see through Eleven’s thoughts and evilly scooted up to Mrs. Kurt’s ears whilst looking at Eleven with a vicious yet gorgeous smile. “I’m sure our old lady doesn’t know who these two are. One of them is a top international killer who kills as though she breathes air, and the other is The G.o.dfather of The Mafia. Look at these ‘heavyweights’ you’ve taken into your house. THEY will be the very reason you perish here.”

“Meng Lianying, enough!” Eleven coldly spoke as she squinted her eyes dangerously. “I’m here. Release the Kurts,” she flatly said.

“What’s the rush? I’m no fool to let them go. Who here, given your formidable skills, is a match for you?”

“What exactly do you want?” Eleven coldly smiled.

“I do not want anything. I just want YOUR LIFE,” Meng Lianying smiled evilly as she looked at Mo Ye. Mo Ye coldly looked at her as though she was some stranger.

As Meng Lianying felt a heartache, she stood even taller.

“So you think you’re fit to ask for my life eh?” Eleven coldly laughed as her slightly askew hair covered the harshness in her gaze as she secretly counted the number of operatives in the house. The operatives, while incredibly skilled, were aplenty.

If each of them fired once, she would immediately be shot up. She knew that she was facing a trap she could not afford to set off.

“Dear Meng Lianying, that explains why he’s duped you,” Eleven coldly laughed. “How could a shrewd and vicious woman win a man’s affection? Chances are your sister doesn’t like you too.”

“Shut up!” Meng Lianying’s face changed as she pointed the gun at Eleven and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bullets flew and Mo Ye panicked. As he was about to grab her hand and pull it away, Eleven grabbed him in a reverse-grip and the both of them dodged aside. Even if Mo Ye was fast enough, he would not be able to get himself out of the bullet’s path fast enough and he would definitely be hurt. Things were different for her.”

The bullet missed its target and left a bullet hole as it hit the steel door of the sc.r.a.pyard.

“Eleven…” Mo Ye rejoiced. As men responded most directly and truthfully in times of crises, Eleven unhesitatingly protecting him gave him hope. If it weren’t for the austere situation, he would have definitely hugged her and never let her go.

Eleven coldly looked at Mo Ye and Meng Lianying’s eye became reddened by her maddening jealousy. How dare they… How dare they… stand in the line of fire for each other right before her very eyes!? That d.a.m.n Eleven!

“Little Seven, Anthony…” The Kurts curled up as they were afraid of the gunfire. Mrs. Kurt, who was the most afraid, murmured their names.

“Mrs. Kurt, please don’t be afraid and close your eyes. Whatever that’s happening has nothing to do with you,” Mo Ye said as he looked at her steely. The Kurts, seemingly a.s.sured by his determined gaze, nodded.

Eleven coldly laughed. “Meng Lianying, how on earth did you become fl.u.s.tered as heck after just a few words from me? While I am a killer and have killed many, I’ve never harmed anybody innocent.”

“Shut up!” Meng Lianying coldly laughed. “So what if I’m shrewd and you’re in the light? I still have you in my grasp. Eleven, you won’t be able to retaliate if I kill you today!”

“And then? What are you going to get from killing her?” Mo Ye flatly asked with a malicious and insidious gaze. “Meng Lianying, expect the terrorist organization and the Mafia to hunt you to the corners of the earth should we not make it out of here alive. Can your Russian Operative Organization take the heat?”

“Haha! Are you referring to Birmingham and company?” Meng Lianying laughed crazily as though she was mocking Mo Ye’s naivety. “Do you think that I can’t keep a few Intelligence rats silent?”

Mo Ye remained calm. Eleven raised her wrist and smiled as she opened her wrist.w.a.tch. Her wrist.w.a.tch was a micro-transmitter which clearly displayed Chu Li’s face on the screen. “Scheming Chu, say hi to them.”

“Eleven, stay safe,” Scheming Chu replied and looked at them before turning off the transmitter. While there was satellite coverage on the mountains, they were in a dead zone in the mountains. Eleven improvised by pulling out Chu Li’s recording so that she could buy time.

“You…”

“Do you think that we would be running a cloak-and-dagger operation like five years ago?” Eleven coldly looked at Mo Ye. “Others may be dumb enough not to see through it, but it doesn’t mean that my family is as dumb.”

While she did not clearly mention names, everybody knew who she was referring to. She almost never mentioned Mo Ye’s name.

Mo Ye had an extremely malicious and insidious look!

“So what if they know? Rout and destroy us? What a joke!” Meng Lianying calmed down before instantly showing a terrifying look. “I want you f***ing dead!”
