The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

321 Room for Negotiation

Just as she opened Ye Ying’s chat interface, the light of a flashlight flashed past her face in the distance, then quickly aimed at her face. A strong white light in the night was undoubtedly a fatal weapon, exposing their figures to everyone.

“Everyone, come quickly. They’re here. Don’t let them get away.” A shout had everyone gathering around them within seconds.

At this moment, Pang Shuo, who was the leader, finally stood up. He had a smile on his face. “Everyone, stop running. Such behavior is an indifferent struggle for us. It’s purely a waste of time. If there’s anything, everyone can sit down and discuss it. As long as you’re willing to not pursue our responsibility, we’ll let you leave here unscathed.”

“Village Chief Pang, your wishful thinking is really good. You’ve even prepared how to deal with it in the future. I’m just afraid that you’re someone who acts one way in front of others and another behind their backs. Now, if we really fall into your hands, it’ll be time for us to die.”

Zhou Xuan’s eyes were like flames. Even if he was in a disadvantageous situation, he could still give his opponent a lot of pressure. “You know that if you let us go, it’s equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. When we return to Federal City, we definitely won’t let you off. It’s very easy to sit down and talk. It’s already considered merciful of you not to put a knife to our necks. We’re all smart people. Just cut to the chase. There’s no need to beat around the bush with me. Do you think I’ll fall for that?”

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly but did not move his lips. “Pang Shuo has brought too many people. We definitely don’t have any chance of winning if we fight head-on. After he finishes his last word, don’t hesitate. We’ll run immediately. No matter what, we have to survive until tomorrow morning.”

At this moment, Shan Yue had an idea and thought of a way to escape. “The target of the twelve of us together is too big. No matter what, we’ll be easily discovered. Everyone, split into groups. Zhou Xuan and I will be in one group, He Sheng and Zhang Luo will be in the other. We’ll be in charge of protecting Zhang Luo’s safety. The eight bodyguards will be in two groups. As long as we buy time to escape, you’ll immediately retreat. With your skills and experience, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to survive.”

On the surface, Pang Shuo looked very calm, but in fact, he had already gritted his teeth fiercely. “Since President Zhou has already made things so clear, there shouldn’t be any room for negotiation. You’re right. You definitely won’t be able to leave Pang Village alive tonight. Once you leave alive, we’ll be the ones facing death. If you submit obediently, you can reduce the pain of your flesh and blood. At the very least, you can keep your corpses intact.”

According to Shan Yue, as soon as Pang Shuo finished speaking, the first two groups immediately ran in different directions, leaving only eight bodyguards in place. All of them were ready to fight.

Seeing this, Pang Shuo finally flew into a rage out of humiliation. He shouted loudly, “Charge!” The hundred people behind him were like waves on the rising tide, charging forward with roars.

Facing the first wave of people, the eight bodyguards had a clear division of labor. Each of them was in charge of the two in front of them. After two strikes, more than ten people instantly fell.

Looking at the large group that was about to come up, they knew that they could not destroy them all alone. Since they had already delayed enough time to escape, they threw their clubs forward and turned to burrow deeper into the forest. With a few strides, they disappeared into the darkness.

“No matter what, even if we have to dig three feet into this forest, we have to find that group of people. We can’t let them live.”

Pang Shuo took a flashlight from the person beside him and began to join the search.
