The moment the gunshot rang out, all the hair on the 'old man's body stood up.
The alarm sound in his heart made his ears ring.
‘Jin’ really wanted to kill him.
However, the muzzle eventually drifted.
The bullet grazed his arm.
He could feel the burning pain in his arm.
Subconsciously, the 'old man' turned his head and looked at Jason's body behind him.
There was a blood hole on the corpse.
And this is not the end.
He took out the gun's 'gold' and pulled the trigger again.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out again and again, and it wasn't until all the bullets in the magazine were fired that 'Jin' stopped and handed the gun in his hand to Newpoliton who was standing aside.
Even when he was shooting, 'Jin' kept a gentle expression.
There was no change in the way he looked at the 'old man'.
However, the 'old man''s scalp was numb.
Obvious malice is not scary.
In the 'city that never sleeps', he has long been accustomed to such malice.
On the contrary, those who are hidden and able to shoot quietly are the most terrifying.
“Well done.”
'Jin' said.
The 'old man' couldn't tell from 'Jin''s expression at this moment whether what the other party was saying was true or false, he could only show an awkward but rude smile, looking like he was scared.
In fact, there is no need to pretend.
The 'old man' was really frightened.
"Where's my reward?"
At this time, the 'old man' could only ask bravely.
He is still trying hard to maintain his "sinister and greedy" persona.
'Jin', on the other hand, didn't even look at the 'old man', and just stood there looking at Jason's body.
From beginning to end, Jason's body did not move.
But this does not mean that 'Jin' will be relieved.
Since learning that Jason was from Uptown, 'Kim' has already raised Jason's danger level to that of Lauren Delder.
After all, Lauren Delder knows everything.
And Jason?
Everything is unknown.
The origin, character, and abilities of the other party are all unknown.
For 'Jin' who is planning a big plan, this is really an existence that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, he did not believe that Jason was dead at all.
In other words, I don’t believe that Jason was killed by the ‘old man’.
Jason might be killed, but it was definitely not killed by the 'old man'.
It’s not that I don’t believe that the ‘old man’ would do such a thing, but that I don’t believe that the ‘old man’ has such ability.
Therefore, this should be a 'game' against him.
So, he pulled out his gun and fired.
Pulling out a gun is like cheating an 'old man'.
The shooting was to test Jason.
However, the result did not satisfy 'Jin'.
The ‘old man’ acted like a frightened person, but did not show any concern for Jason.
And Jason is more real, just like a corpse.
Is my guess wrong?
Such doubts just appeared in the heart of 'Jin', and were thrown out of his mind by this 'big man'. He did not believe that his judgment would be wrong.
If it's wrong, it's not him who is wrong.
It's this world.
‘Gold’ firmly believes.
Therefore, he raised his hand and made a gesture to Newpoliton.
After seeing this gesture, Newpoliton walked towards Jason's body.
Prepare to inspect Jason's body in detail as ordered by 'Kim'.
As for ‘Jin’, check it out yourself?
That's impossible.
In 'Jin's' speculation, Jason appeared here just to assassinate him.
Then he will never get close to Jason.
No matter what the reason.
Moreover, he believed that his men were more professional when checking such things.
One step, two steps.
Neapoliton's figure was like a little giant, which put tremendous pressure on the 'old man' as he approached, but the alarm in his heart became weaker and weaker.
This made the 'old man' relax.
Then, he stopped in front of Newpoliton.
"Where are your promises and rewards?"
"You don't want to break the promise, do you?"
The 'old man' asked 'Jin'.
Newpoliton frowned. According to his temper, the 'old man' at this time should be slapped to pieces by him.
However, when it came to his boss, he had no choice but to turn and look at his boss.
‘Gold’’s expression remains unchanged.
"What I promise, I will naturally give it to you."
There are no good people in the 'city that never sleeps'.
This is a consensus.
Even if there are some good people with good conscience, if they want to survive in the "City That Never Sleeps", they still need to disguise themselves as bad people.
In a completely black world, there is a little bit of white.
It's really too dazzling.
A point where it is impossible to survive even to the point of glare.
Being in harmony with light and dust is the basis for survival in the 'city that never sleeps'.
This is what Jason did before.
‘Old man’ is a bit like that too.
However, whether it is people like Jason, the 'Old Man' or 'Jin', or any resident of the 'City that Never Sleeps', they all know that in the 'City that Never Sleeps', both good and bad guys need to abide by one rule: keep their promises.
.
If you don't keep your promise, your reputation will be ruined.
Then there will be no place for you in the entire 'city that never sleeps'.
Very contradictory?
Very complicated?
Do bad people still need to keep their promises? Do they still care about their reputation?
obey.
care.
Because that's the only thing he can bring to the table.
The most important thing...face.
And Riko?
Murder, arson, and committing all kinds of evil are also "inside" and will not be put on the table.
Some people say that in this life, if someone takes your face, you have to take someone as your lining. Your face cannot be stained with dust. If you treat someone to a cigarette, you may have to get rid of someone.
‘Jin’ doesn’t know this sentence.
But this is what he did.
He casually took out a palm-sized leather bag from his side pocket and threw it to the 'old man'.
"This is the 'superpower' part of the promise."
"If you want to go uptown, bring Lauren Delder's body and I will fulfill the remaining half."
Everyone's eyes never moved away from the bag after it appeared.
As the leather bag jumped from "Jin's" hand, it jumped up high and landed in the "old man's" hand.
Never let go at all.
Many people were furious and wanted to rush out.
But they all endured it.
At this time, no.
It's not time yet.
The 'old man' held the leather bag in his hand, feeling the malice around him that was as sharp as a sword, and laughed. He just stood there and raised his voice and said, "The way to obtain 'extraordinary power' is in my hands.
What I just said is also valid. If anyone can kill one of the bosses except Joseph, I am willing to share it with them."
Completely sowing discord.
But it's different from before.
There were no chips before.
Now there is.
The five bosses except Joseph cursed the 'old man' in their hearts for his treachery.
But he quickly concealed himself within the protection of his men.
Even his subordinates kept a certain distance.
Because the 'old man' promised.
It's everyone, including their subordinates.
The 'old man' looked at this scene with a smile.
Newpoliton urged impatiently.
"Get out of the way."
"Of course, of course."
The 'old man' kept talking, but he saluted to 'Jin' unhurriedly.
Put your right hand on your chest and bow slightly.
Standard etiquette and elegant posture.
Undoubtedly, it is a little slower.
Newpoliton became increasingly impatient.
But there was no urging.
He is 'Jin''s bodyguard and represents 'Jin''s face to some extent. Naturally, he cannot pull the 'old man' aside at this time.
'Jin' still looked at the 'old man' gently.
Is it deliberately delaying time?
Or just a pretentious thank you?
‘Gold’ cannot be determined.
However, I have already decided in my heart that I must kill the 'old man' afterwards.
Moreover, the 'old man' must be treated well to his newly invented 'treats'.
Under the gaze of 'Jin', the 'old man' stepped aside.
The alarm in my heart is already telling the 'old man' that if he delays it any longer, there will really be a flaw.
"Hurry! Hurry!"
The 'old man' who stepped aside kept thinking in his heart.
It seems that I heard the voice of the 'old man'.
Just when Newpoliton had walked in front of Jason,
boom!
There was an explosion that resounded across the sky.
The ground trembled slightly, and the air became still.
call!
The strong wind blew across everyone's cheeks.
Most people can't even open their eyes at this moment.
A small number of people who reacted quickly fell to the ground and raised their arms to cover their eyes when they heard the explosion.
Only a few people felt a chill in their hearts.
The explosion came from the core of Xiacheng District: Area 16 within the ring city of the 'Sleepless City'.
what happened?
Those few people were guessing.
Especially Newpoliton, an unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.
He turned his head and looked at his boss.
The usually gentle boss had a slightly twitching face.
He seemed very anxious.
only……
Why is it so deliberate?
It seems to be acting?
Newpoliton was a little confused.
However, when the boss glanced at him, Newpoliton immediately lowered his head.
The next moment, a buzzing sound came from Jin's pocket.
He pulled out something that buzzed.
It's a blue gemstone.
A small, illusory figure appeared above.
"boss!"
"It's the Free Army!"
"They attacked us!"
The figure spoke very quickly, but just as he finished speaking, a 'bang' was heard.
The figure fell to the ground.
One wrapped himself tightly and the gunman picked up the other party's 'communicator'.
"'gold'!"
"I……"
"Oh"
The other party shouted in a deep voice, but was interrupted by Jin's chuckle.
Then, 'Jin' crushed the gem directly.
The shadow disappeared without a trace.
Then, 'Jin' raised a finger.
The wind is brewing above.
A finger moves.
Whoosh.
A wind blade passed over the neck of Jason's corpse, and Jason's head fell straight off.
Then, ‘Jin’ raised a finger again.
Fire, beating at the fingertips.
Then, he took a breath.
call.
The flames rolled and completely submerged Jason's body.
He originally wanted to use a more direct method to examine Jason's body, but an accident occurred in his lair, which forced him to show off his 'power'.
He knows the residents of the 'City That Never Sleeps' very well.
At this time, if he doesn't show some 'power', he will be backlashed.
Look at those eyes that choose and devour others.
These guys in front of me are probably impatient.
only……
He was able to break through my defense system so quickly.
Since when did the ‘Freedom Army’ have such a guy?
After issuing last night's warning, 'Jin' knew that the 'Freedom Army' would do everything possible to stop him, so he deployed heavy defenses in the Merson neighborhood of his 'home'.
It’s not just the power of technology.
And ‘extraordinary power’.
Some of them come directly from Shangcheng District.
To put it simply, it is something that has never been seen in the lower city area of the city that never sleeps.
There is no other possibility except risking one's life.
According to Jin's estimation, at least half of the members of the "Freedom Army" must die there.
If it were more, two-thirds would be possible.
As for the annihilation of the entire army?
He thought about it, but didn't want to do it.
The legacy of the ‘Freedom Army’ is very good.
And the 'Freedom Army' is still useful to him.
So, he kept it.
However, even so, it is impossible for the 'Freedom Army' to break through his defenses so quickly.
At least in the afternoon, or even in the evening.
And now?
It only took less than an hour.
"Is there something wrong with 'Uptown'?"
‘Jin’ was thinking calmly in his heart.
But on the surface, he became angry and frustrated.
"Damn the Free Army."
"I won't let you go."
"Wait for me."
‘Jin’ looked like he was gnashing his teeth, while the people around him were gloating about this scene.
Many people just couldn't help but applaud.
It's so comfortable.
So comfortable.
This is what they want to see.
‘Kim’ knows.
This was also something he showed deliberately.
"Open the passage to Area 30, let's go there temporarily."
‘Jin’ said to Newpoliton.
Newpoliton nodded.
He doesn't have any thoughts of rebellion now. Newpoliton has already seen that his boss is planning something again.
As for what to do?
He doesn't know.
All he knows is that if he wants to live, he just needs to obey orders.
Newpoliton went to open the gate.
‘Jin’, on the other hand, stood still and did not move.
Something unexpected happened.
His plans had to change.
Who else here can be used?
'Jin' thought, and couldn't help but walk towards Jason's still burning body.
He seemed to have something to talk to the 'old man'.
They were not facing each other as before, but stood in a straight line. 'Jin' looked at the burning corpse, while the 'old man' had his back to the corpse.
"I heard that you joined the Free Army?"
'Jin' asked.
The 'old man' was shocked.
Although there are a few people who know this secret, it is impossible for 'Jin' to know it so quickly.
Are there still people of his in the ‘Freedom Army’?
"That's because I was young and ignorant."
The 'old man' was thinking in his heart and said calmly on the surface.
"Young...very good."
‘Jin’ said something with unclear meaning, and seemed to not want to look at the corpse anymore, so he turned around.
He looked at the metal door that slowly opened in the distance, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The 'old man' saw this smile.
The alarm in my heart sounded like never before.
What's going on?
Why is it so weird?
What exactly is wrong?
The heart of the 'old man' was spinning rapidly, and at this moment, the burning Jason stood up.
Just like that, the knife passed through 'Jin's' back.
The blade of the knife passed through the chest.
‘Jin’ lowered his head, looked at the knife head, smiled weakly, and shouted loudly
"Do you want my treasure? Do you want my hidden treasure? Do you want power beyond all men?"
