C1841 Five Stars Out of the East (1/2)
The sudden assassination in the harbor caused a huge commotion. Athens was a very, very ancient tourist city, and the people here had long known about the importance of tourists. Over the past thousands of years, this city had earned a lot of wealth for countless tourists.
In this city, there were both thieves and swindlers. However, it was really rare to brazenly assassinate tourists in broad daylight. At that time, everyone was stunned.
The dock workers in broad daylight chasing down tourists for their jobs? Even when the other party said that he was from the Nobility, he did not stop? Was he trying to ruin the reputation of Athens's famous tourism city?
Du du du... The sirens shrilled, and the police officers in the distance rushed over. At this moment, the surrounding workers also came to their senses and shouted loudly as they rushed over to catch those black sheep.
”Don't let them get away, stop them …” Left... Right... Oh God! ”What kind of cigarettes are these, choking me to death …”
The CIA's people all had their own special equipment, and these smoke bomb that was ignited with white phosphorus was one of them. Pepper, pepper, a small amount of black gunpowder, and a small amount of white phosphorus in the igniting tank were all sealed with wax until they couldn't breathe.
When used, he would crush the wax seal, and a small amount of white phosphorus would ignite the black gunpowder. A light explosion would scatter the irritating powder in the air, which was the best weapon to create chaos.
It was because of Lei Meng's fearlessness and the exquisite equipment that Pierre managed to survive. Within his suit, he wore a vest that fit him perfectly, and there were many thin pieces of steel around the waist of this vest.
This was the very, very, very advanced bulletproof vest at that time. This kind of exquisite bulletproof vest was made at an extremely high cost, every thin piece of soft steel was pressed hundreds of times by a stamping machine, and then hit it hundreds of times with one's hand. After going through dozens of processes, it was possible to achieve a perfect balance in toughness and strength, and the weight could be controlled to an acceptable degree.
Every vest was worth thousands of gold, and even though they were expensive, they could save lives at critical moments.
A burning pain in Pierre's left side was caused by a knife point. The assassin stabbed with all his might into the fabric of his suit and vest, leaving a deep dent on the steel plate.
The dagger did not pierce into his flesh, but the force had already reached his ribs. Pierre grimaced in pain and almost staggered to the ground, but at this time, smoke rose up.
Pierre, who was covering his nose and mouth, pushed through the crowd and ran northeast. Behind him, someone shouted in a familiar, accented French, ”Traitor! The bastard that betrayed the emperor! ”Let's go to hell …”
Pierre burst out of the smoke. Behind him was Lei Meng's dying howl. ”Hurry up and leave!” A leather bag whizzed past Pierre's head and landed on the ground.
In front of him were all sorts of faces, as well as piles of goods, wooden boxes, brown ropes, wine barrels … Furthermore, he could not hear anything clearly due to the countless number of people making him feel weird, as if he had never run through the streets in his life before. It was as if the muscles in his legs were all on fire.
The people on the wharf only saw a gentleman wearing a suit and leather shoes running as fast as a dog running outside Athens City, both of his legs almost flying.
”Hahaha …” ”Hahaha …” Lei Meng who was lying on the ground with his hands on his head to protect his vital parts, he could not care about the few cuts on his back, from this angle, he could just barely see his boss running at full speed through the smoke.
”Hahaha …” Europa, my hometown, we're back … What a welcome ceremony! ”Hahaha …”
It was clear that the assassins were after Pierre and the two suitcases, but no one cared about the injured Lei Meng. Soon, the assassin chased after Pierre while coughing.
The police officers of the Athens Port surrounded Lei Meng, ”Sir, how are your wounds? Call the doctor right away and bring the stretcher … ”
