Chapter 122 Showdown

Nie Yan was shocked. The fact that these people could get into Xie Yao's house meant they had been preparing for this for a while. They even used a dangerous weapon like a heavy sniper rifle. He didn't know what their purpose was. Were they after Xie Yao?

What did they want to do with a heavy sniper rifle? Nie Yan's heart sank. Did they want to assassinate Xie Yao? This was intolerable!

Xie Yao was important to both the Zhengrong Consortium and the Longyue Consortium. These people's actions today must be related to the two consortia.

Nie Yan slowly approached them, moving very carefully. He didn't know how Xie Yao was doing. He silenced his phone and sent Xie Yao a message: Xie Yao, where are you right now?

Xie Yao sent back a message: Still in the bathroom of the bedroom. The bathroom glass is bulletproof, using a voice-activated system. I don't dare to go out.

Nie Yan could feel Xie Yao's tension and fear, and sent Xie Yao a message to comfort her: Stay inside and don't come out. I'll be there soon!

The buildings in Azurewater Heights used the best materials, including every brick, every piece of glass. Even the ubiquitous glass was made of composite materials, and the bathroom in the bedroom was controlled by the user's voice, so others couldn't open it. So Xie Yao was a little safer inside.

Xie Yao sent a message: Nie Yan, be careful. My family's security will be here in three minutes.

Nie Yan crouched down and gradually approached the two people in front. He vaguely heard some of their conversation.

One person gave a sinister laugh and said, "Stiletto, you understand the consequences of doing this."

The man opposite, called Stiletto, said firmly, "Ghostfire, we mercenaries have a principle, which is not to attack the old, weak, women, and children. Before coming here, you didn't explain the situation! So it's not that I'm violating the contract."

"If it weren't for the fact that you have mastered the military's anti-satellite technology, I wouldn't have asked you, you blockhead, to come over. Principles are bullshit. You're a mercenary, and I'm a killer. The employer gave us money, and we don't care if they are old, weak, women, or children. They pay, we do the mission. Don't forget, your brothers who are missing arms and legs are still waiting for your money to go home and support their families," the person called Ghostfire said disdainfully.

Stiletto hesitated obviously, thought for a moment and said: "My brothers, they also came down from the mercenary battlefield, they should understand everything I have done."

"Even if they can understand, when you go back, I'm afraid you won't see them."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Since the employer handed over the mission to us, he has already prepared for you to go back on your word."

"Who is the employer?" Stiletto stared at Ghostfire and asked in a cold voice.

"We killers have a rule that we won't reveal any information about the employer to outsiders."

Listening to their conversation, Nie Yan roughly understood the beginning and end of the matter. These two people came together to kidnap or assassinate Xie Yao. Among them, Ghostfire took the mission and called the mercenary named Stiletto, because Stiletto had the military's anti-satellite technology, and he could sneak into Azurewater Heights. As a result, when they got here, they suddenly had a falling out. The mercenary called Stiletto had a principle, that is, not to attack the old, weak, women, and children. Xie Yao was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, so Stiletto regretted it.

Nie Yan had some admiration for the mercenary named Stiletto. He could still stick to his principles in this situation.

At this time, a beam of infrared light penetrated from the darkness, leaving a red spot on Stiletto's chest. The spot moved on Stiletto's chest. Ghostfire revealed a trace of contemptuous smile, and said: "You have to understand the situation now."

Stiletto glanced at the roof in the distance. As long as the sniper in the darkness pulled the trigger, with the speed of the heavy sniper laser bullet, he would definitely not survive the next moment.

"Let's go, where is that girl?" Stiletto hesitated for a moment, and said.

"It's good to be sensible, don't play any tricks. If there is a little problem here, your brothers will have to be buried with you."

Stiletto's eyes turned cold, and he said: "No matter who the employer is, tell him for me, before I die, he better not touch my brothers, otherwise he will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Ghostfire heard Stiletto's words, smiled, and didn't answer. He had cooperated with Stiletto several times, and he knew Stiletto's strength very well. Stiletto was not aimless!

But so what? He was only responsible for doing the mission. When the mission was completed, he could get the commission and live happily ever after. As for the life and death of others, it had nothing to do with him.

The two people showed signs of walking towards Xie Yao's villa. Nie Yan didn't know what their purpose was, whether it was to assassinate Xie Yao or to kidnap Xie Yao. If they assassinated Xie Yao, Xie Yao would be in danger once they entered the house. Although the glass in Xie Yao's room's bathroom was bulletproof, the voice-activated system was nothing to those who could even block satellites.

Just then, at the gate of Xie Yao's villa, seven or eight figures swept in here. They were all Xie Yao's family's security guards.

The regional intercom system worn on Ghostfire's ear suddenly rang: "Ghostfire, a few small fries are coming."

Ghostfire smiled, revealing a cold killing intent, and said: "Kill them."

A beam of light flashed in the air, and with a muffled sound, this beam of light penetrated a security guard's heart, and the security guard fell down without even humming.

At the gate of the villa, there was a burst of chaos, and the security guards found terrain to hide.

"They have heavy sniper rifles!"

"Kill the sniper!"

From their vigorous figures, it could be seen that these security guards had also received special training.

"Three minutes, find the target person and take her away. I will not be responsible for any problems after three minutes!" The man holding the heavy sniper rifle in the distance said in Ghostfire's regional intercom system.

"Understood, three minutes is enough."

Ghostfire and Stiletto jumped into Xie Yao's villa.

Nie Yan touched the window of Xie Yao's villa. He found that the window was open. He jumped in and ran to Xie Yao's bedroom. He relied on his familiarity with Xie Yao's villa and arrived at Xie Yao's bedroom earlier than the two people.

The layout in Xie Yao's bedroom had not changed, it was the same as before. Nie Yan looked around and hid by the bed.

Seeing that there was one more person in the room, Xie Yao, who was in the bathroom, suddenly panicked. Although she had also practiced taekwondo and some fighting skills, it was not enough to deal with these professional killers.

"Don't worry, it's me," Nie Yan said in a deep voice.

Xie Yao immediately quieted down. Nie Yan's voice made her mood calm down a little.

"Hide and don't make any noise." In this situation, Nie Yan could only gamble, and he must not let those two people hurt Xie Yao.

He didn't know how skilled those two people were, but from their words, he could hear that one of them was a professional killer, and the other had been a mercenary, so their skills must not be bad. Nie Yan estimated that with his strength, he could only deal with one of them at most if he made a sneak attack. It would be a little troublesome if there were two opponents.

But if those two people entered Xie Yao's bedroom, Nie Yan had no choice but to fight!

Nie Yan could feel that there were two people approaching here quickly in the corridor. Although the sound was very light, Nie Yan could still feel the slight vibration on the ground.

He lay on the ground, his body half hidden under the bed. He moved his hand, and there was a sharp knife between his two fingers. This knife was grabbed from his room when Nie Yan went out. It was usually just an ornament. This knife was only a little more than one finger long, and it didn't look threatening, but if the strength was strong enough, such a short dagger could also be fatal.

The door of Xie Yao's bedroom suddenly opened, Nie Yan's heartstrings tightened, and he held his breath.

At the moment of entering the door, Stiletto frowned. Living in the most dangerous environment all year round, his sense of smell was much stronger than ordinary people. He smelled two kinds of smells, one of which was the aura of a girl, and the other was a man.

Stiletto's heart paused, but he didn't say anything.

Ghostfire followed behind Stiletto and entered the room. His assassination methods were relatively high, but his perception of danger was not as sensitive as Stiletto.

"Where's that little girl?" Ghostfire asked. He gave a strange laugh and quickly locked onto the bathroom next to him and walked towards the bathroom.

Stiletto silently slowed down a step and let Ghostfire go first.

Ghostfire suddenly threw out a small piece of metal, and the small piece of metal flew up and stuck to the glass door of the bathroom.

There was a loud bang, and the glass door immediately cracked into pieces, and fell to the ground with a crash. Xie Yao's scream came from the bathroom.

Xie Yao pretended to be flustered and at a loss. What she had to do was to attract Ghostfire's attention. Although she was nervous, she still calmly responded. Because she knew that Nie Yan was by her side, and she was not alone. She often practiced taekwondo, and occasionally fought with people, so Xie Yao's psychological quality was still very good.

Ghostfire's actions made Stiletto frown. Stiletto said, "The employer wants her alive."

Ghostfire smiled and said: "Don't worry, she won't die." Saying that, he walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing Xie Yao, who was frightened in the bathroom, Ghostfire laughed wantonly and said: "Tsk tsk, she's really good-looking, much prettier than the photos." At this time, Xie Yao's hair was a little messy, but Ghostfire could still see her beautiful face.

"Stiletto, do you want to play with me?" Ghostfire's mouth curved into a strange arc, and he looked at Stiletto.

"We don't have much time!" Stiletto said with a disgusted expression.

Just as Ghostfire was about to walk into the bathroom, Nie Yan, who had been lurking by the bed, suddenly burst out like a spring, and the short dagger in his hand stabbed straight at Ghostfire's back.
