Chapter 282 - LOTS OF THRILLS (1/2)

As Dr Harriet Brown died, she could not comprehend a lot of things. The most critical was the reality of the Apocalypse Protocol. She had heard it spoken about by drunk higher-ups during one of the casual meetings they had in the past.

They had spoken casually about how good it would be if there was a way to erase everything when things went south. In their line of business which involved a lot of shady political deals to ensure smooth operation around the world, one had to have an exit strategy. ​​

She had thought the idea was just the product of inebriated minds.

But it seemed it was real. And they were using it against her to protect themselves. She was merely a pawn in the game to them.

Luckily, she had always been cautious.

She had never thought that they would kill her. She had always ȧssumed that they would use her as a scapegoat if things went south.

She did not have a fancy code name, but she had made sure that she had hidden away enough information to take down the International Health Alliance.

She was not sure if her plan would succeed. But knowing that she left one last 'f u' for those old board members helped her walk into the darkness with some sense of satisfaction.

After killing Harriet Brown, Frank turned to the direction where Harriet had indicated. He could not see anyone, but he knew that a person would not disappear. He looked at the bookshelf, the mannequin and the file cabinet.

His eyes drifted from these three objects before settling on the anatomical mannequin. His lips curved in wicked amusement before shooting at the mannequin head.

As the shot hit the brain, Hu Lei rolled out of the way. She held the letter opener in her hand and threw it at Frank's head, aiming for his eye. However, Frank managed to dodge. Still, the opener hit his ear, before falling behind the couch.

Hu Lei did not give him another opportunity to shoot.

While his focus had drifted for a second, she stood from the ground and punched his ċhėst with a flat palm. The heel of her hand landed on his lower ribs, and there was a slight cracking sound. He lost his breath for a moment.

However, he used the hand with the gun and swung it at her face. Hu Lei stepped back and the buŧŧ of the gun about to hit her face grazed her cheek, leaving a nasty bruise.

Hu Lei suppressed the pain while Frank aimed at her head again. If he fired, she would be shot at a point-blank range.

She made a split-second decision and turned, held that arm with the gun on her shoulder.

With a deep scream, she pulled on that arm and executed a shoulder throw. Since the man was much taller and heavier than her, she could not do it beautifully. His weight pulled her down with her and she landed on his ċhėst.

However, she did not mind.

Hu Lei lifted it and hit it against the floor repeatedly, injuring the knuckles, until he let go. Once he did, she tried to dislocate both his wrists, but he hardened them.

His face still had a smile.

”You are quite strong. Why don't you come to the dark side?” He asked.
