Chapter 278 - PINOCCHIO AND GEPPETTO (1/2)
On the coast, Agent Larsen and his team approached the location where they had lost sight of Kaito for about ten minutes. Zhong Feng had prevented them from taking action immediately and insisted that they could blow Kaito's cover before he met with the target.
Due to this, they had to wait for the agreed-upon time to ŀȧpse before going to find Kaito. Once the period ended, Agent Larsen directed his crew. This time, Zhong Feng did not stop them.
Within a few minutes, they found Kaito standing over the body of a man in casual coastal clothes. He was sprawled on the ground inelegantly, and he looked dead,
Immediately, Kristian trained his firearm on Kaito with eyes filled with fire and justice.
”Are you that anxious to kill me, Agent Larsen?” Kaito was unthreatened.
Kristian did not lower his weapon.
”You should know that he is only unconscious. He tried to manhandle me. I could only defend myself.” Kaito laughed.
In the end, the agent could only lower his weapon.
”When will he wake up? Time is of the essence.” He asked angrily.
”There is no need to worry about that. He told me the location at which he was supposed to rendezvous with his compatriots. We can make a projection of the location of the ship based on an ȧssumed speed, the rendezvous destination and the expected meeting time.” Kaito waved a hand casually.
Kristian Larsen could not keep calm at the carefree attitude.
”He gave you all this information while he was manhandling you, and you were defending yourself?” He asked with obvious sarcasm.
”What can I say? The man is a multi-tasker.” Kaito laughed. ”We should get out of here. Otherwise, we might not be able to take action.”
As two Interpol agents pulled up the man on the ground, three black helicopters came into the coastal area and hovered over the small airstrip.
Zhong Feng smiled. ”It looks like the cavalry is here.”
On the ship, Hu Lei faced the frustrated Dr Brown. However, she was not in a rush to let her know why she could not replicate Hu Ming's experiment. She bent down and tore her dress to free up her legs. She had long become tired of her restricted movement.
”Do you plan to attack me?” Dr Brown asked. ”You should know that I am not defenceless. Even if you did manage to take me down and even eliminate the guards at the door, you will have to deal with the others on the ship. Not to mention that we are no longer at the dock.”
The woman smiled to herself.
”You are thinking too much. I just feel a little constricted in this dress. Though, it is a shame that it has been damaged.” Hu Lei replied as she methodically tore sections of the clothing.
”Stop wasting time. You are not going to accomplish anything by stalling.” Dr Brown felt irritated.
Hu Lei smiled.
”A lady should not be so impatient. But since you insist, I will tell you.” She paused. ”My father did not manage to do any genetic editing on me. He merely triggered some of the junk DNA in my genome.”
Harriet Brown was silent for a while before becoming angered.
