After hearing several loud gunshots, Huda and James, who had been pacing back and forth inside the villa, exchanged a glance, their faces filled with ecstatic joy.
The mercenaries responsible for the sniping had all been the most elite special forces soldiers from various countries.
Let alone the fact that the rooftop was only a little over a hundred meters from the villa's exterior; even if it were five hundred or a thousand meters, they would absolutely be able to achieve a one-shot kill, hitting the bullseye every time!
As for the power of the sniper rifle king, the Barrett, there was even less to say.
At a mere hundred meters, it could directly pierce through a light armored vehicle that could be deployed on a battlefield!
However, the smiles did not last long on their faces.
This was because they soon received feedback from the mercenaries inside the villa via walkie-talkie.
All thirteen members of the sniper team had lost contact.
The mercenaries and bodyguards inside the villa could not withstand Qin Xuan's fierce assault alone and were being pushed back steadily.
Upon hearing this news, their faces changed drastically.
After a brief pause, James could no longer afford to heed Huda's words about staying put in La City.
If things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before Qin Xuan broke into the villa. At that point, forget about their assets; their lives might not even be safe!
"Wait, wait, I'll go with you!"
With their eyes wide with shock, Huda could finally no longer maintain his composure.
Just as James had thought, if they ran, they might still have a chance to make a comeback. But if they stayed, it would be a certain death situation!
However, before leaving, Huda still cast a glance in Qin Xuan's direction with extreme reluctance.
He admitted that he had underestimated superhumans before.
But next time, after he returned to Niudou.
He would definitely hire a superhuman even more formidable than Qin Xuan to accompany him, and then return for revenge!
With a sharp turn of his head, Huda finally followed James out of the villa through the back door.
Fortunately, when they were arranging everything beforehand, the two had entered the bedroom with the back door from the dining room.
Otherwise, if they had left now, they might have run straight into Qin Xuan.
Following James through the backyard and several alleys, Huda heard the rumbling sound of engines.
Walking forward a bit further, the area opened up.
On a helicopter landing pad, a fully operational Sikorsky S-76 helicopter was parked.
This was the escape tool James had prepared long ago.
It had been maintained but never used.
His original plan was that if he could no longer manage in La City one day, or if Mike became enraged by his actions, he would have a fallback.
He never expected that the first time he would use it would be because of a man from Longguo with whom he had never had any prior dealings.
However, even so, he was very grateful for his foresight.
It was precisely this precautionary thought that had directly saved both his and Huda's lives.
"Alright, Huda, you should be grateful that I kept a medium-sized helicopter."
"Otherwise, I would absolutely have thrown you here without hesitation."
Opening the helicopter door, James's mood instantly improved.
Once on board, they could fly wherever they pleased.
No matter how strong Qin Xuan's abilities were, he didn't believe he could actually fly and shoot down his helicopter.
Therefore, as he boarded the helicopter, he even felt like joking with Huda.
Hearing this, Huda was also infected by the other's mood.
He chuckled and started discussing the future with him.
"Don't worry, I won't be taking your helicopter for free this time."
"Once we are safe, I will contact that person."
"Then, with both our sides and the forces behind us cooperating, after we reclaim our assets, I will directly give you a ten percent profit share!"
As he spoke, Huda pulled the helicopter door shut.
The helicopter pilot also informed the two and began the takeoff procedure.
However, no one inside the helicopter noticed.
Near the helicopter's rotor, where the airflow was strong, there were several paper cranes folded from paper!
They flapped their wings, easily staying in the air.
And their nonexistent eyes were "staring" intently at the people inside the helicopter.
"Everything is normal, commencing takeoff."
After all checks were completed, the pilot informed his boss again, preparing to take off.
Hearing this, James took a bottle of rich and fragrant champagne from a small wine cabinet nearby, along with two elegant-looking champagne flutes.
He lightly popped the cork and poured half a glass for each of them.
James raised his glass high with his right hand, looking very pleased, and shouted to Huda, "Come on, Huda, cheers to our successful escape from death!"
Seeing this, Huda also smiled.
He raised his glass and was about to respond to the other.
But just as the words were about to leave his mouth, the helicopter, which had been very stable, suddenly tilted.
"Fuck!"
"Tom, how are you flying the plane?"
"That champagne just about spilled on me!"
Having managed to stabilize the wine in his glass, James couldn't help but curse at the pilot.
But his scolding did not make the plane stable.
On the contrary, the helicopter was now shaking even more violently.
Huda was startled and quickly sat down, fastening his seatbelt.
The pilot, after checking the situation on both sides of the helicopter, exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god!"
"Am I seeing things?"
"Why is there a foreigner with yellow skin beneath our plane?!"
"What did you say?!"
James and Huda were shocked and quickly stood up to look out the helicopter's windows.
They saw Qin Xuan, who was holding onto the helicopter's landing gear with one hand, and with the other, he was gripping a steel cable he had found from somewhere.
"What?!"
"It really is him!"
"Tom, quickly, turn the helicopter's engine to maximum!"
"But boss, that would tear this man to shreds!"
"Do as I say!"
"Yes!"
Hearing James's words, Tom hesitated.
But the other was his boss after all.
There was nothing he could do but obey.
Helplessly, Tom could only increase the engine's power to the maximum.
In an instant, the helicopter's lift more than doubled.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
As the engine power increased, the sound from the engine also grew louder.
Seeing this, Tom couldn't help but close his eyes and silently make the sign of the cross over his chest.
"Poor foreigner, it's my boss who told me to do this."
"I hope you can fly directly to heaven after you die."
"This way, it should also lessen the sin I've committed."
After silently praying, Tom continued with the takeoff procedures he needed to perform.
But to his surprise, no matter how hard the engine worked, their altitude could not increase at all.
In other words, the person with black hair and yellow skin was still holding onto the helicopter!
What the fuck!
Is the thing beneath this plane really human?!
