Chapter 103: Chapter 97 Opponent
"Ten seconds to kill one person!" This sentence echoed in the conference room, the pressure of death enveloping the hostages, some even wetting themselves out of fear, as the stench spread throughout the room.
Hua Qingyi had no more time to think. The opponent had indeed grasped his weakness. As a member of the Huaxia Dragon Soul, his duty was to protect the people of Huaxia. He could not just watch as the people of Huaxia were slaughtered without reacting.
"Ten, nine, eight..." The Middle Eastern gentleman’s face showed a fanatical look, as if he was simultaneously anticipating and dreading Hua Qingyi’s appearance, using those lives to torment Hua Qingyi’s nerves.
Moreover, the opponent said that if he went out again, they wouldn’t shoot. But even if they did, what of it? Still, he had to go out, didn’t he? Hua Qingyi took a deep breath, knowing full well he might be risking his life by stepping out, yet he had no choice.
Hua Qingyi took a step towards the screen, emerging into the conference room. Everyone’s eyes focused on Hua Qingyi, captivated by his handsome appearance and slender build. How could a man be so beautiful? Yes, beautiful. Many men are handsome and charismatic, but a man being beautiful is rare, possibly just Hua Qingyi in this world.
Wu Shuang had seen Hua Qingyi before, but back then, Wu Shuang held a grudge against Xiao Lin and thus ignored Hua Qingyi’s beauty. Now, in a different setting, the feeling was completely different. Hearing the Middle Eastern man refer to the extremely beautiful man before him as a military doctor, Wu Shuang concluded in his mind that this beautiful man could not be Dragon Soul’s military doctor. In Wu Shuang’s mind, the image of Xiao Lin emerged when thinking of Dragon Soul’s military doctor.
"Is that Dr. Xiao the military doctor of Dragon Soul?" Wu Shuang was secretly shocked. Although Wu Shuang didn’t know what Dragon Soul was before, through the conversation between the Middle Eastern gentleman and Murong Lengyue, he learned that in Huaxia, there was such a mysterious and powerful group of special forces soldiers. They were the guardians of Huaxia, especially the military doctor, regarded as the guardian of Dragon Soul by outsiders.
Murong Lengyue was also startled by Hua Qingyi’s appearance. Hua Qingyi gave Murong Lengyue the same impression as the general public: beautiful, an extremely beautiful man. It was the first time Murong Lengyue had seen such a beautiful man.
Murong Lengyue may not have seen the military doctor’s real face, but knew this wasn’t him, definitely not. Just the voice was different, not to mention the striking beauty. In Murong Lengyue’s mind, the military doctor was a very handsome man, with a charming, melancholic, and resilient face, eyes that could captivate, at least, could captivate themselves.
In the moment Hua Qingyi appeared, the four subordinates behind the Middle Eastern gentleman did not start shooting as before. Instead, they stood quietly behind the Middle Eastern gentleman, showing no signs of making a move. They had gone from ferociously opening fire to standing there as pure as angels, albeit angels with wings like birdmen.
"I didn’t expect you to be such a beautiful man. It seems the rumors were too modest!" The Middle Eastern gentleman was slightly stunned for half a second, then smiled, changing completely from the sinister and fierce expression he had before.
When Hua Qingyi first saw the Middle Eastern gentleman, he felt that this person was a madman, definitely a madman, or a madman with extraordinary acting skills. Before he appeared, the man’s expression was like a demon from hell, yet in the next second, he transformed to be even more pure than an angel, with a kind smile, exceedingly amiable.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Hua Qingyi secretly observed the situation in the room, the communication device on his hand transmitting the real situation to Xiao Lin using Dragon Soul’s methods.
Every Dragon Soul team member had a set of the world’s top-notch communication equipment, whether voice sensors, sonic devices, or breath sensors. Although Hua Qingyi had been kicked out of Dragon Soul, the custom-made communication equipment had not been confiscated, as Hua Qingyi also had a background and status, he wouldn’t dare or wish to do anything harmful to Dragon Soul.
"I had high expectations for you, and you did not disappoint. I’m very curious to see how your extremely handsome face will look once distorted. What expression will you show when being tortured? I’m quite looking forward to it!" The Middle Eastern gentleman’s profoundly confident voice filled the conference room, as though Hua Qingyi was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"But you need that kind of strength first. Now that I’m out, shouldn’t you release them?" Hua Qingyi knew the opponent wouldn’t be so foolish, but he was also stalling for Xiao Lin.
"Releasing them is certain, but only after you are taken care of. Make your move, I’ll give you a fair chance!" The Middle Eastern gentleman said, filled with confidence.
Hua Qingyi did not want to act so soon. The sheer confidence exuded by the Middle Eastern gentleman, along with his imposing presence, clearly marked him as a formidable opponent. Moreover, in such an environment, facing him meant already being at a disadvantage. Now all Hua Qingyi could do was hope Xiao Lin would act quickly.
"A fair chance, you say? You think this environment is fair?" Hua Qingyi said coldly, and at that moment, the sensor on his body transmitted Xiao Lin’s message, telling Hua Qingyi to try to distract the Middle Eastern gentleman’s attention, even engage in combat if possible.
"You’re stalling for time? Do you think it’s useful?" The Middle Eastern gentleman’s face suddenly changed, as if he had discovered something, and he asked sternly.
"I just think your claim of fairness isn’t fair at all!" Hua Qingyi’s body remained by the screen, leaning against it, prepared to evade the moment things went south.
"Actually, it’s very fair!" No sooner had the Middle Eastern gentleman said this than he strode forward, closing the distance to Hua Qingyi almost instantly. Less than two seconds had passed, a distance of more than ten meters now reduced to nothing, catching those with slower reflexes off guard.
A sharp killing intention rushed in as Hua Qingyi’s nerves were all heightened. The Middle Eastern gentleman, in terms of height, was no less than him, and physically even more imposing, like a mountain towering three meters in front of him, suffocating and oppressive.
The Middle Eastern gentleman’s eyes were sharp, scanning Hua Qingyi as he nodded slightly. Hua Qingyi had been somewhat glib earlier, his aura weak, but the moment he faced him, everything changed, he seemed powerful, his seemingly frail body exuding momentum not inferior to his own. The Middle Eastern gentleman nodded in satisfaction, saying, "You’re a master, worthy of my hand!" With that, without any prelude from the shoulders, he suddenly exploded, sweeping his powerful leg at Hua Qingyi.
