"I always thought Oscar was not that simple and was not an ordinary person so you wouldn't die. I overestimated him." Tan said, without any temperature in his voice, "Sorry, Hannah."
After that, he pressed the trigger as he always did.
Goodbye.
He just wanted to use the simplest way to verify the results this time since he didn't want Hannah to see a bloody picture. He just wanted to know who Oscar was. There was no need to let Hannah witness other cruel things.
But the result was not satisfactory after all.
Tan pulled the trigger, with a second of hesitation.
He still had some feelings for Hannah. After all, few missions had taken so long like this time.
However, he was a Man of Sacrifice and he couldn't have any feelings. He needed to accept every mission cold-blooded and ruthlessly, and kill people callously.
The second he put the trigger, a figure appeared in front of him with the speed of lightning. He grabbed Tan's arm quickly when he was distracted, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the sky. A bullet burst and there was a violent sound.
Hannah had been ready to die, but the next second she felt a familiar figure shielding her.
At the same time, Tan kicked at Oscar.
Oscar grabbed it with one hand solidly and he didn't even shake.
When Tan was about to speak, Theodore came forward to cover Tan's mouth, and his words were swallowed in his throat. Tan's eyes looked ferocious.
Theodore used another hand to dig out an interceptor behind Tan's ears.
Every Man of Sacrifice would wear an interceptor like this, which was half-implanted behind their ears and hard to be found.
Obviously, Tan was monitored at the moment.
Theodore pulled it out, threw it on the ground and crushed it.
Making sure it was damaged, he threw it into the sea behind and it went away with the waves.
Then, Tan's mouth was released.
He didn't speak though, knowing that his mission failed.
Oscar was not a simple man.
He just distracted him the whole time. They even knew he carried an interceptor.
Theodore tried his best to break Tan's hand and took off the pistol. Then he threw it into the sea as well so it didn't leave any evidence.
Oscar let go of Tan, and so did Theodore.
"Jimmy!" Oscar said.
Jimmy was about to move forward and suddenly stopped.
Tan had angered Jimmy thoroughly. Of course, Jimmy wanted to beat him.
"Let me do it!" Oscar ordered.
Jimmy stepped back, and so did Theodore.
Theodore pulled Hannah and said, "Be careful of the blood."
Hannah suddenly came to her senses.
She looked at Oscar who was standing there and felt it unbelievable.
He had been dying on the ground a few minutes ago.
How could he make it?
