Chapter 1646: Chapter 1467: Dramatic Death
You didn’t expect the enchanting woman in front of you to know the identity behind your mask, and you nodded slightly: "Who are you?"
Years ago, Cen Nong was trapped in a den of wolves, suffering terribly. It was at this time that your master and grandmaster, Ghost hand, intervened to save her. Cen Nong had asked for the savior’s name back then, and the answer was naturally "Ghost hand."
Ever since you received the title of "Ghost hand" from your grandmaster, you have worn this ghost mask, which is, in fact, a symbol of Ghost hand.
Cen Nong looked at you with some excitement, holding your left hand: "You once saved my life, I didn’t expect it’s you saving me again today."
"That only speaks to your bad luck since every time I appear, it means you’re facing hardships." While speaking, you grabbed Cen Nong, pulled her behind you, and quickly pulled the trigger. The bullets shot out accurately, penetrating three enemies about forty meters ahead.
You shouted to everyone: "Quickly go, they’ve already discovered us!"
Ruan Qi saw this and hurriedly led everyone to retreat toward the phalanx of the government forces.
You pushed Liao Yong and shouted: "Black Bull, you and Ruan Qi take the lead; I’ll cover the rear!"
Without any hesitation, Liao Yong carried his gun, walking in the middle of the team, alert to the surroundings while following the team forward.
Seeing you staying at the back, Cen Nong hesitated; after all, you were her lifesaver. She knew she was just a burden at the moment, but instinctively she looked back at you.
Yue Kang was always by Cen Nong’s side, guarding her.
Actually, ever since he first saw Cen Nong, Yue Kang had been drawn to her unique temperament and beauty. Although scolded by Cen Nong at the time, Yue Kang held no grudge against her; he thought about how to become stronger to stand before her as an equal one day.
When that day comes, Yue Kang will use all his savings to propose to Cen Nong.
However, fate is cruel.
No matter how hard Yue Kang tried, he could not escape the fetters of society. After struggling in the business world for a while, he was battered by harsh reality.
He lost completely, to the extent where he only had money for the bus in his pocket at the time, and those two dollars weren’t even enough to get home because he needed to transfer.
At the lowest point in his life, a man stepped into his world, and that person was Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang was one of Yue Kang’s competitors before and also someone Yue Kang greatly admired.
Zhang Qiang was straightforward and direct in everything he did, never resorting to tricks. He never engaged in conspiracies in business but dealt in open strategies.
He would set a trap and let you know beforehand, yet even knowing it was a trap, you had no choice but to willingly jump into it.
To many, Zhang Qiang was a formidable man.
Initially, Yue Kang thought Zhang Qiang came to finish him off or to mock him.
What Yue Kang never expected was that Zhang Qiang wasn’t as malicious as he thought. Instead, Zhang Qiang extended a hand and pulled him ashore at the most crucial moment.
At the time, Yue Kang was destitute, and his mother was hospitalized a month earlier, requiring a large sum of money daily for treatment. Having nowhere to turn, Yue Kang met Zhang Qiang, who had already transferred his mother to a better joint-venture hospital without waiting for Yue Kang to speak.
Since then, Yue Kang swore to spend his life repaying the kindness that Zhang Qiang had shown him.
As for his personal feelings, Yue Kang buried them deep, very deep.
Cen Nong was Zhang Qiang’s cousin, and everyone knew Zhang Qiang treated her like his sister; meanwhile, Cen Yun was the company’s general manager, holding a higher position than Zhang Qiang.
Yue Kang frequently avoided Cen Nong, knowing that facing her would make it difficult to control his emotions, so he chose to evade.
This time, following Cen Nong abroad for investigation was intentionally arranged by Zhang Qiang, but he simply lacked the courage to speak up, especially in such a critical situation.
Yue Kang constantly watched Cen Nong while closely monitoring the surroundings.
Until everyone escaped the enemy’s influence range, safety couldn’t be assured, thus Yue Kang was more nervous than anyone else, determined not to let Cen Nong get hurt even at the cost of his own life.
The group retreated while standing, progressing relatively smoothly with the support of aerial assistance.
The key was they were escorted by three top international special combat soldiers.
Not to mention you and Liao Yong, as the king of South Vietnam’s special operations, Ruan Qi enjoyed a high reputation in the international special forces community. He became acquainted with you at the international special forces competition, and after jointly participating in some missions, they became familiar and eventually good friends.
All along, you wore the ghost mask, so few people knew your true appearance. Based on your voice alone, people assumed your age to be around twenty-five or six, never realizing that standing before them was merely a fifteen-year-old kid.
"Ahead is our stronghold!"
Ruan Qi’s words sent the businessmen behind him into a frenzy. The wealthy individuals ignored the commands of Ruan Qi and you, each hastily sprinting toward the Vietnam military’s stronghold.
With the group in disarray, Ruan Qi couldn’t even warn them, and at this moment, two armored vehicles rushed out from the side bushes!
Along with the appearance of the armored vehicles, a dozen anti-government militants emerged, aiming their AK47s at the frantically running businessmen.
In such a scene, even if you had Three Heads and Six Arms, it would be of no use. You instinctively charged toward Yue Kang and Cen Nong, knowing in your subconscious that protecting them was enough.
When the enemy armored vehicles appeared, the businessmen ignored Ruan Qi’s calls, each holding their heads as they scurried. Among them, a tall Caucasian man collided hard with Cen Nong while escaping, grabbing Cen Nong and throwing her toward the anti-government militants.
"No!!"
Seeing those anti-government militants already aiming their guns at Cen Nong’s fragile figure, Yue Kang, with a surge of incredible energy, rushed in front of Cen Nong at lightning speed, spreading his arms!
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire!
"Bang bang bang!"
Continuous gunfire!
A gunshot sounded as one of the anti-government militants fired. The bullet shot toward Yue Kang at 850 meters per second, breaking open a massive wound on the chest of the newly spread arms of Yue Kang, who collapsed to the ground.
As Yue Kang fell, you and Liao Yong fired continuously, instantly eliminating the row of enemies in front.
"Yue Kang!"
Cen Nong hurriedly supported Yue Kang, but at this moment, Yue Kang was only breathing faintly.
