Chapter 54
Han tightened his black gloves and looked out from the window of the large cargo plane they were in. The thirty men Tao Long found were busy getting their weapons ready and he was standing alone to one side.
He already told them what the plan was today. To them, he was going to kill his competition in the underworld to plan a takeover but to him, he was just going in for Lily. He couldn’t give less of a fuck what happened with the underworld. But, from the way Tao Long spoke and hyped him up the men just started calling him boss and assumed he would be giving them liberation or something!
Bullshit!
“Five minutes to drop, boss”
One of the random goons shouted from the side and Han nodded while turning to look outside the window. It was a great sea of white that only had one black dot in its center. The research factory the bishop spoke about.
There would be about fifty men in and around the factory and even though Han could handle them all. He didn’t want to waste time and give the dealer a chance to escape. The thirty men would be his distraction, even if they didn’t know it.
He moved to the door and turned to speak to everyone.
“Drop time is five minutes. Remember the plan and follow Tao Long like he is me. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Boss!”
Han nodded and Tao Long came forward.
“And what about you Boss? What will you be doing? You aren’t coming with us,”
Han pressed the button at the side of the door and it slid open and everyone quickly put their hands up to stop the breeze from hurting them. He grabbed onto the edge and tried to think of a cool way to phrase what he was about to do.
To Tao Long, it would probably still sound crazy no matter what he says, so he just gave it to him straight!
“I’ll meet you inside!!”
He pushed himself out of the plane and free fell towards the ground. Tao Long tilted his head to one side and tried to understand what the Boss meant. He would meet them inside? How did he want to get inside?
A random lacky ran forward from the back and screamed.
“He doesn’t have a parachute!!!!!”
Tao Long screamed in shock to see that he was right. The boss didn’t have a parachute!!! What was he thinking!?
Han free-fell through the cold air and utilized the full extent of his abilities to angle himself perfectly with a mountain peak below. He already memorized the map of this area with his [Photographic Memory] and his [Eyes of Horos] gave him a clear view of everything from the sky.
Now all he needed to do was combine just the right amount of agility and strength to make sure he didn’t die!
Now you might be wondering why he didn’t take a parachute with him. The answer was simply stealth. He was going to be sneaking into the base from the back because that was the point with the highest probability of being an escape route for the dealer. He already told his men not to touch her if they capture her but that didn’t mean he didn’t want in on the fun too!
A parachute would give out his position to any guards around the perimeter. But if he fell freely, then they would never see a single human in the snow.
The snow was getting close now and Han prepared himself for the impact. He slammed into the snow and slid down the hill while using the snow to slow his descent. It was a five hundred meters tall hill, and by the time Han was at the bottom, he was walking.
Inside the facility, the guard at the gate noticed a large object flying across the sky and quickly tried to get the attention of his partner. The second man was trying to sleep and angrily hit the first guard on the head when he woke him up. Did he think it was easy to be on guard detail?
“What the hell do you want!?”
The guard shouted angrily, but the first guard only pointed a finger forward with wide eyes. The second guard turned and his eyes shot open when he saw the plane flying right towards them!!
“Fuck!! Sound the alarm!!!!”
The entire base lit up in red lights and an alarm blared to life. Guards ran out from the inside and began aiming their guns at the plane to attack, but none of them realized that the plane did not plan on stopping.
“It’s still coming. It’s still coming for us!”
“Are they planning to ram the factory!? Do they want to kill us all!?”
“Fuck!! Run! Run!!!”
The sound of the plane getting closer drowned out the screams of the guards just before it nosedived right into the building with a mighty crash.
Booommmmm!!!!!
Tao Long and the army of thirty men all glided down from the sky with their parachutes. They had jumped down from the plane before letting it loose on the factory according to what Han said! Tao Long didn’t even know how Han came up with a plan like this! It was completely insane but also brilliant. He completely took the base by surprise! Was this how geniuses thought!? He couldn’t believe he almost made that man his enemy!
Inside the base was chaos. The alarms and lights were warning people to evacuate as quickly as possible but the large plane that was currently inside the factory already did more than enough to warm them.
The guards were running towards the door to face the attackers while the dealer and Dr. Fu were led towards the back door.
“The specimen! We can’t lose the specimen! Make sure you pack her and bring her with us!”
Dr. Fu was more concerned with losing Lily than the attack. He didn’t care what sort of power play the underground was doing now, all that mattered to him was his work!
The dealer though was angry. What idiot was looking for death here!? They would surely pay for attacking her base! Did they not know who she was!? She moved quickly towards the back door to escape. She would leave here for now and let her goons take care of the attackers. She had fifty men in this facility, there was no way they would be able to escape!
“Hey! Who are you! Stop right there or I’ll shoot!!”
The dealer looked up in surprise when she heard one of her goons shouting at someone. The sound of gunfire and the screams of men responded across the facility but she couldn’t see anything because a guard was standing in front of her and blocking her view. She quickly pushed him out of the way and aimed her gun at whoever dared to attack her. They were definitely seeking death!
But her eyes widened when all she saw was a single man holding up her guard by the neck. He had the most uncaring look in his eyes. He squeezed down and the guard’s neck snapped with a sickening crack.
“Who the hell do you think you are!!!? How dare you attack my base!? You don’t know who I am?”
The dealer still had a lot of sway in the underground. This man must not know who he was attacking. Just one call from her would destroy him!
Han looked towards the dealer and dropped the body of the guard on the ground. About ten other men were standing around her and aiming guns at him. He cracked his neck and prepared himself for a fight.
“Daler. You have something that belongs to me. And today, I came to collect it with interest,”
[[BloodLust] has been activated]
The dealer’s hand shook at the cold tone and she immediately took a step back. Who was this man? What did she have that was his!? She never even met him before!
“I… I don’t know who you are. Just tell me what you want and we’ll surely come to an agreement. All this is a pointless act. Why don’t you join me? Someone as strong as you surely knows how useful you would be in the underground.”
Han smiled in a bloodthirsty way. The same smile that he knew drove the dealer mad with anger. And then he blurred into action. She thought he wanted to join her? Don’t make me laugh!
He rammed his fist into the face of the first guard and then slammed his knee into the arm of the second one before he could shoot. The arm broke under the force and the man screamed. Han punched him in the face and then ran towards the other guards.
“Run! Run! Take the boss out of here now – Ack!!”
The guard who was shouting suddenly found his throat crushed by a punch and he fell to his knees. The other guards immediately began guiding the dealer and Dr. Fu out while shooting at Han. Han slid behind a drum to avoid the bullets. He might be strong but he was definitely not bulletproof.
He reached behind him and he silently thanked Tao Long for convincing him to take this with him. His hand wrapped around a gun and his eyes glowed red as he activated [Eyes of Horos]
Seven outlines of the remaining seven guards glowed red and he rolled out from behind the barrel.
Seven bullets were fired from his gun and their gunfire died down immediately. Seven bodies dropped to the ground and Han lowered his smoking gun.
The dealer looked at the seven men around her in total shock. What kind of sharpshooting allowed someone to do this!? Even the best sharpshooter in the world didn’t know how to do this!
Han began walking towards her and she brought up her own gun immedaitely. This man… He was dangerous. She couldn’t even see a way to win against him! What sort of monster was this!
Han stopped right in front of her gun and stared her down with his red eyes before blasting her with the full force of his [BloodLust]. Her face contorted in fear and she meekly put down the gun in her hand. Her survival instinct shouted at her and told her there was no way she could win here. There was nothing that she could do.
“D-Don’t kill me… Please don’t kill me,”
Tears were now streaming down her face and she tightened her eyes. This was the greatest fear she ever felt before. Not even when she was alone on the street, trying to scavenge for food did she feel this kind of fear! Not even when she was bullied and almost raped by men who found her and forced her to join their gang.
This man… He was scary!!
A gun pressed into her head and the dealer flinched in fear. Han leaned down and whispered into her ear.
“One reason. Give me one reason to let you live. If you don’t give a good one, then you won’t see the next five seconds”
Han looked down at her and saw a flicker of hope flash across her face before she fell to her knees and held onto his leg
“I… I can serve you. I can help you in the underground! You want power right!? I… I can give you everything!!”
He sneered. He didn’t think the reason was good enough.
“If it was power I wanted then I don’t even need you. There can’t be two kings in a kingdom,”
The dealer fell to her hands and slammed her head on the floor.
“Then I’ll step down!!! I… I won’t try to argue with you! I will give you everything!! Just.. please…”
The dealer was scared out of her mind. Han didn’t even look like he gave a damn about her life. She thought about using her body to entice him but she could easily tell that if she had even tried that then she would have found a bullet in her head faster than the speed of light!
She could only shake and hope Han didn’t kill her.
