Chapter 565 Meeting Their Match
Zachary then engaged the middle-aged cultivator in combat after ordering his men to retreat. Meanwhile, inside the courtyard of No. 1 Villa, the short-haired girl grabbed one of the soldiers and held him in front of her like a shield.
“Go on, open fire! Let’s see if your bullets are faster than me!” Despite being surrounded by dozens of guns pointing at her, the girl showed no sign of fear nor panic. If anything, there was even a glint of manic excitement in her eyes.
The soldiers had their fingers on the trigger, but none of them dared open fire. The girl was standing in front of the Smith mansion, so their bullets could also hit the Smith family members inside.
On top of that, they knew full well that they would only end up killing her hostage if they shot at her. Given her terrifying speed, she could definitely dodge their bullets with ease.
However, they couldn’t just stand by and watch her enter the mansion either. Unsure of what to do in that difficult situation, the soldiers were all in a dilemma.
The tense moment was interrupted when a clear voice rang out from above the mansion.
“I’m curious, are you here to kill or kidnap?”
The girl looked up and saw Yasmin sitting on the roof of the mansion.
She had her left leg propped up and her two-meter-long sniper rifle resting on her left knee. The barrel was pointed at the girl below.
My instincts are telling me that this woman is the one who shot Hansel!
With that in mind, the girl’s pupils constricted as she asked, “Were you the one who fired those two shots earlier?”
Yasmin let out a chuckle. “Yes, that was me. Also, you haven’t answered my question. Are you here to kill or kidnap?”
“Does it make a difference?”
“It does. If you’re here to kill, then you’ll be fired upon indiscriminately once you do so. I doubt even a Grandmaster would be able to make it out alive! If you’re here to kidnap them, things would be a lot more interesting. We don’t want you killing them, and you don’t want us accidentally hurting the hostages either. That would up the stakes significantly.”
The girl’s eyes lit up after hearing that. She then took a closer look at Yasmin, only to shake her head in disappointment shortly after.
“You’re an interesting one. Unfortunately, you’re not a martial artist, so you don’t have what it takes to try and stop me. You may be great with guns, but you’re too close to me right now. I could kill you in the blink of an eye if I wanted to.”
“What if I want to give it a try anyway?” Yasmin asked as she set her sniper rifle aside and jumped down the roof.
The girl let out a chuckle when she saw Yasmin standing next to her.
“You’ll die if you fight me like this!”
“I’ve always been setting up assassinations, so I have never really fought a martial artist before. I’d like to give it a shot!”
Yasmin flashed her a smile and waved her arms slightly, causing two silver handguns to come sliding out of her sleeves.
Bang!
Without warning, Yasmin began firing while her arms danced about wildly.
The look on the girl’s face changed instantly when she realized what was going on.
The first shot from Yasmin was aimed at the girl’s head, while the second went right through the hostage’s body and was headed straight for her heart.
The rest of the shots looked like they were fired in completely random directions, but the girl knew they were meant to cut off all her escape routes.
She would get hit by the other bullets if she tried to dodge the first two.
T-This is a death trap made out of bullets! I can’t believe I got careless! It’s too late for me to control her with my spiritual energy now! Only someone from the God Realm would have spiritual energy powerful enough to change the trajectory of the bullets, so that’s not an option for me either. She’s just a normal human being, so how is this possible?
Despite having a calm and collected expression, Yasmin was actually incredibly nervous.
