Chapter 380: What...? (1/2)
The next day, 9 AM.
Vroooom!
A man wearing a black trench coat over a white shirt with a black necktie and a pair of black denim pants is cruising through an expressway on a black and white 800cc motorbike with a briefcase strapped over his shoulders.
Michael arrived at a relatively large town almost an hour later, and booked a room in a cheap looking hotel, then he walked around the neighborhood like he was looking for something, and came back at the hotel two hours later and didn't do anything after that except playing Fate Online until 6 PM.
He came down from the third floor and asked the receptionist if there are food streets around here, and made his way over there and ate the local snacks for dinner before making his way through a sketchy neighborhood, where the people he met on the streets gave him weird looks. Probably wondering to themselves what a foreigner like Michael is doing all the way to such a dangerous place.
Night had fully covered the entire sky when Michael arrived at the foot of a hill. He took out a small flashlight and started his trek up to the top.
The trek up looks so creepy because there's barely any lamp post around the trail that an ordinary person wouldn't have dared to go alone by themselves, but Michael is someone who had already seen almost what the world can offer.
In fact, he was even hoping someone would come to trouble him just like the other night and rob them.
Unfortunately, no one followed him, and Michael safely arrived at the top five minutes later.
It wasn't a long trek, and Michael picked this spot because it's desolate, rumored to be haunted and most of all, it gives him a good vantage point for his target tonight.
”A construction site would have been good, but this place is isolated enough. I just hope no one is dumb enough to come here tonight or else...”
While Michael is setting up and making sure that no one is around other than him.
At an old looking house, a shabbily dressed man came walking out from the front door with wobbling steps while mumbling angrily in a drunken state as he held a bottle of alcohol in one hand.
”That...b*tch! She des...troyed my...life! Now, I'm a poor...bloke that can't...find a job because of...what happened! Good thing...I...still have my...house though~” said the drunken man in between as he came out of the gate in a wobbly manner, like he would fall any second now because of how drunk the man is.
”Why~? Why?!!! Hahaha!”
”Tsk! That bastard is at it again tonight!” One of his neighbors couldn't help but complain to the person before them when they heard the familiar yelling on the street outside their homes.
”He deserves everything that happened to him. Most of all, he doesn't deserve to live after what they did to that poor child, he should have been shot to death! I really don't understand why the prosecution didn't sentence that bastard to death!” replied a woman, her face looks particularly scary while weaving the fabric in her hands that it gave her husband cold sweat.
Thud!
The two looked at each other when they heard the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, then they shook their heads when a thought occurred to them.
”He must be so drunk that he's sleeping in the streets again”
”That bastard should just go to sleep instead of troubling us like this”
A minute earlier.
”I'm so lonely. My parents and siblings hate me, my relatives cut off their ties from me. No one wants me anymore, boohoo~”
Psschhh.
Thud!
Suddenly, something pierced through his head and he fell on the ground a second later after uttering those possibly last words of his, and he laid there on the cold hard ground as his blood dyed the road red.
”One down, two more to go,” said Michael as he moved his head away from the sniper rifle in his hands as he let out a cold breath of air and started packing up and made his way down the hill.
”Kyaaaaa!!! Murder!!”
An hour later, a piercing scream filled with horror reverberated throughout the quiet neighborhood, startling those already sleeping and still awake as they slowly came out of their houses to take a peek outside.
And not before long, multiple police cars came and quickly cordoned the crime scene.
