Chapter 74 (2/2)

”As long as you promise to join my team, you will become a dog under my command!”

Zero still did not appear.

Sauron decided to give him a shot. ”Zero, if you don't believe it.”

Let's take a gamble.

Now I'll count to ten. If you don't show up, I'll let Kabu kill her.

”How about it, do you want to bet this time?”

Sauron began to count.

As soon as he counted to one, Zero stood up on the rooftop.

The gunman raised his gun, but Sauron stopped him.

Sauron pointed to the ground. ”Come down here, I hate being condescending.”

Without another word, he jumped over the railing.

Using the projectile as a leverage point, he landed on the ground in two or three steps.

Leah shook her head sadly as he walked around the corner of the building into the street that faced the camp.

She knew that the appearance of zero meant that he was giving in to Sauron.

Saurun was well aware of this fact. He wore a smile on his face, as if he was bathing in the spring wind.

Killing Zero was far less pleasurable to Saurun than humiliating him as he was right now, especially when an arrogant person like Zero could defeat him. Saurun was so excited that every cell in his body trembled.

”Do you want me to join your team and let her go?”

Zero asked Saurun coldly.

Sauron nodded.

”Alright, I'll join!”

Zero did not hesitate.

Leigh felt her heart cut.

She remembered that Zero had said that he didn't want to be anyone's lackey no matter what.

But now, for her sake, he had no hesitation in sacrificing his freedom and dignity.

”Good, zero.”

Saurun narrowed his eyes and said: ”However, let's settle the score first.”

You shot me twice last night, right?

”I'm a fair man. As long as you stand still and let me shoot you twice, the debt will be settled.”

The color drained from Leah's face, and she shook her head desperately to say no.

Zerom looked past Sauron to Leah.

He smiled gently, then nodded to Sauron.

Sauron held out his hand, and the soldier immediately handed him a handgun.

Saurun opened the security lock, the muzzle of his gun moving freely around Zero's body.

But Zero was so calm he didn't even bat an eyelid, which annoyed Saurun, so he fired a shot into Zero's thigh.

Flames flashed as he was hit by the bullet in an instant.

A bloody hole appeared in his thigh. The pain of his flesh being torn made him throw himself to the ground, his knees touching the ground, as if he was kowtowing to Saurun.

Sauron laughed triumphantly, and the soldiers and their followers joined in, the sound waves of laughter and mockery rushing to zero.

Leah closed her eyes sadly. It should be a lone wolf in the wilderness, not a dog kneeling humbly before a man.

It shouldn't have happened because of her!

She opened her eyes and seemed to make a decision.

Zero took a deep breath and slowly stood up using both his hands to prop himself up.

Sauron stopped laughing, seeing his performance as a provocation.

Thus, the muzzle of the gun moved and eventually stopped at Zero's chest.

Saurun was seriously considering whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to kill the man in front of him.

Suddenly, behind him, he heard a muffled cry from Leah.

Saurun cursed in his heart. He quickly turned around, but he could no longer stop what happened next.

Lia cried out in pain and threw her head forward. Her white neck was sent towards the edge of the dagger. Her tender skin was instantly cut open, and blood spurted out from the broken arteries under the pressure of the air.

It was as if a beautiful flower had bloomed in mid-air!

Saurun was stunned, Kabu was stunned, and Zero was stunned as well.

No one had expected Leah to take such drastic action.

Leah's blood had been sampled well, but everyone knew that the value of the specimen was even greater.

Saurun's anger was directed at his follower, Kabu, and he should not have allowed such a thing to happen.

”Listen to me, Sauron.”

Her body fell limply at his feet.

For the first time ever, the blood of the gaudy red that flowed across the gray and brown concrete floor seemed so startling to Kappa.

However, before Saurun could scold her, a hair-raising howl came from behind her.

Like an injured lone wolf, it howled at the moon in the desolate land.

The voice was filled with rage, but there was also sadness.

Saurun turned and let out a hoarse wail towards the sky.

Lowering his head again, his hair slightly rose in a zero point. Within his right eye, a golden flame was burning fiercely!
