Chapter 537: Threaten

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When had his opponent taken his gun away from him?

Terrifying Wolf was shocked. He had come right behind him without making a sound and taken his gun away without him even realizing it. Just what kind of person was he up against? Was this man a ghost?

BANG!

Xiao Luo did not even hesitate to pull the trigger.

The bullet from the pistol pierced through Terrifying Wolf’s head. Blood and brain fluids splashed out from the gaping hole on the back of his head along with the bullet and splattered on the ground. Terrifying Wolf fell back and collapsed in a heap, unable to rest in peace as he did not even get to take a look at his executioner’s face. This man was simply too fast and denied him any chance of fighting back.

After getting rid of Terrifying Wolf, Xiao Luo turned his attention to Sarah, who was a short distance away.

Sarah was stunned when she saw Xiao Luo, for she had thought that it was the SEAL team that her grandpa had sent, and the last thing she expected was for him to be an Asian man. Could he possibly be the backup force that her grandpa had requested from Hua Nation?

As she looked at the man advancing toward her and looking calm and collected, she started to panic again. This man was ferocious and managed to quickly get rid of two of Khun Sa’s mercenaries just like that.

“Sarah Michelle?”

Xiao Luo asked, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at the woman covered with dirt, and he could detect the foul odor coming from this woman’s body.

Sarah was stunned and nodded her head. “Yes, that’s me,” she said.

“Allow me to introduce myself–I’m ‘Mie from Hua Nation’s NSA. I have received orders from above to protect you and ensure that you leave Libya safely,” Xiao Luo said, in a perfect American accent.

So, he was indeed from Hua Nation!

Sarah was a little stunned but tried her best to calm herself down. She stood up, pointed at Xiao Luo, and then pointed at herself. “You... came here to protect me?” she asked.

She thought to herself, this guy was powerful, and he managed to get rid of two of Khun Sa’s mercenaries without breaking a sweat. Having a guy like him protect her was definitely a dream come true and hard to believe. It wasn’t too long ago that she even thought she had already been abandoned by God.

“Has the Michelle family never told you that besides the American SEAL team that came to Libya to rescue you, the NSA from Hua Nation is here to save you as well?” Xiao Luo asked. He spoke with the same aloofness that he usually had.

Sarah looked left and right. “Just you alone?” she asked.

Xiao Luo nodded his head. “Yes!” he replied.

“But Khun Sa has two mercenary groups, and each mercenary group has at least twenty of them. Hua Nation has an abundance of resources, so how is it that they only sent you alone?”

Sarah raised her eyebrows. Although she acknowledged Xiao Luo’s strength, it was evident that a ferocious tiger alone was no match for a pack of angry wolves. She earlier breathed a sigh of relief when she managed to survive and escape from the hands of the two mercenaries. But now that Sarah realized that there was only one man here with her, she suddenly felt nervous and worried again.

“I am more than enough.”

Xiao Luo took a look at his surroundings. He was sure that the reinforcements from this mercenary group were about to arrive soon, and he really hated staying longer than he needed to in this place. “Let’s go, let’s get out of here first,” he said.

He turned around and was about to head towards another direction when he realized that Sarah was just standing there and not moving.

Xiao Luo turned back and said, “Are you not coming?”

Sarah finally got her senses back and quickly followed Xiao Luo. She did not have any other options and still had to hold on tightly to what little lifeline she had, even if this was just a bale of straw and not a ship.

“Mr. Mie, it’s nice to meet you!”

She raised her hand out towards Xiao Luo. This was the guy who managed to rescue her from the very jaws of death, and she still had to rely on Xiao Luo to bring her to safety. She quickly realized that it was essential for her to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo took a glance at her dirty hands and said, “This is my mission, so you don’t have to be this polite with me.”

“I know that, but you saved my life, so thank you,” Sarah took the initiative, grabbed his hand, and shook it, with a smile on her face.

With little empathy, Xiao Luo flashed a look of disgust at her. He really hated having to shake such a dirty hand.

Sarah then hesitated and blinked her eyes. “Mr. Mie, I have to go somewhere else to take back the SD card–it has all the recordings of how brutal the Libyan Black Army really is,” she said.

“Where is it? Lead the way!”

Xiao Luo was becoming a little bit annoyed. Protecting this woman here was one thing, but his own goal here was to kill Khun Sa. He was carefully trying to assess the situation by looking at his surroundings, but this woman was continually disturbing him, and it naturally p*ssed him off quite a bit.

Sarah nodded her head and quickly led the way towards the place where she hid the SD card.

Her memory and sense of direction were pretty good, and they didn’t take any unnecessary detours. Xiao Luo followed her, and they arrived at the place that she was talking about in about fifteen minutes.

It was an abandoned shopping mall. As the war had broken out for quite a while now, all the valuable items were long gone, either stolen or removed by the merchants themselves. The first and second floors were filled with rags, confetti, carton boxes, shelves, and the place looked a mess. Looking at this scene felt as if they were about to reach the end of days.

Xiao Luo noticed the woman running into the female toilet and came out with a pendant hung around her neck, and the SD card was hidden inside.

Sarah had a smile on her face. “Mr. Mie, let’s go,” she said. She put the pendant inside her pocket, feeling a lot more relieved.

Xiao Luo nodded his head, but suddenly, he could hear the rumbling of a vehicle. Before he could even react to it, he sensed impending danger.

BANG!

A high-velocity bullet pierced right through the thick wall of the shopping mall and flew right toward him.

Xiao Luo leaned the upper half of his body backward and simultaneously pushed Sarah to the side. The bullet streaked in a lethal trajectory, flying right over his chest, and although it didn’t come into contact with his flesh, the high temperature it generated singed Xiao Luo’s chest and created a superficial wound.

The bullet hit then struck the wall on the other side of the shopping mall and easily penetrated right through it. That wall was roughly fifteen centimeters thick, but it went clean through like a thin piece of paper.

“L115A3 sniper rifle?!”

Sarah, who was on the ground, was utterly shocked. “This kind of gun can kill an enemy from 2.5 kilometers away. It’s the king of all sniper rifles, and it can even easily penetrate through an armored car,” she said.

Xiao Luo looked at her as if saying, this woman sure knows quite a lot.

This was indeed an L115A3 sniper rifle from America, and it held the record for killing an armed combatant from 2,430 meters away. A British soldier in Afghanistan managed to kill five Taliban fighters in 28 seconds from 1600 meters away. No one should underestimate the power and killing range of this rifle.

Xiao Luo was very sure that he didn’t expose his own location and wasn’t in the enemies’ field of vision earlier on. That could only mean one thing–that the gun was equipped with a thermal sensor. It could detect targets based on heat signatures despite obstacles to a shooter’s field of vision. Using the thermal sensor, a sniper could identify the exact location of any sort of living being from a radius of one kilometer. Having such a device was akin to a tiger sprouting wings. Walls were no protection against this kind of weapon.

BANG!

Another shot was fired. The high-powered round penetrated the wall again and was locked onto Xiao Luo.

It was impossible for Xiao Luo to find cover in the face of such a sniper rifle, and he couldn’t ensure his own safety. He immediately picked up Sarah, who was beside him, and jumped off from the shopping mall’s second floor. When he hit the ground, he instantly found his footing and dashed forward like a cheetah.

As he bounded forward, he saw four military jeeps parked just around the shopping mall. That L115A3 sniper rifle was placed at the top on one of those jeeps, and the one operating it was a bearded foreign man.
