Chapter 1042 Control
Knights Road, Upper Igwynt.
At night, shadows shrouded the high-end residential district. The street lamps emitting orange and yellow glow illuminated the street scenery. There was silence all around. Only the evening breeze blew gently through the deserted streets, blowing the treetops and flowers with a rustling sound.
“Aaaaah…”
In the house opposite No. 26, Gregor, who was sitting on the sofa, yawned loudly, then looked at the house opposite where everyone had turned off the lights and gone to sleep, and sighed.
"Alas... Nothing happened tonight. Maybe Mr. James is worrying too much..." Gregor sighed like this, and then looked at a ticking grandfather clock from time to time, calculating when it would be dawn and he would hand over his shift.
At this moment, Gregor's eyes suddenly fixed and his gaze remained outside the window. He looked at the end of the quiet and dark street, where there seemed to be a group of turbulent shadows.
"Heh...it looks like you've finally come to life."
…
At one end of the Knight Road, in the shadow of a building that could not be illuminated by lights, a dozen figures gathered here. They were all men in different clothes, and their clothes were stained with obvious stains and dust. Each of them had a sullen face, and some had obvious scars on their bodies and hands.
These people were holding various weapons, including sticks, axe, steel bars, hammers... They all looked casual and cheap. Only two or three people were holding pistols, and they seemed to be homemade steel barrel guns.
These people are all local gang members of Igwinter. Today, they gathered here because of a well-paid commission and are ready to make a big move.
"Listen, our plan is very simple. We will go to the door of No. 26, smash the door and windows, and then go in and kill everyone, from downstairs to upstairs. Don't leave anyone alive, especially a girl around ten years old. She is the key. We must kill her to complete our mission!
"Then, we all went to the flooded dock together overnight. The financier would give us our reward there, and we would take a boat to the Iron Mud River to leave Igwinter. From then on, we would be free and at ease. Don't you understand?"
In the crowd, a man wearing a tattered suit, holding a homemade steel pipe pistol, and with a scar on his face, spoke earnestly to the person in front of him, and the group of his men in front of him also responded noisily.
"I know, let's get started now!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to stay in this damn city!"
The gang members talked one after another, and everyone was eager to give it a try. After seeing this, the leading man nodded and gave the final instructions.
"Damn it, let's take action now. There may be a few bodyguards in the house, and they may have some skills, but don't be afraid. We have many people and are well-armed. We can kill them all if we attack together!
"Remember, we must act quickly and decisively. Don't wait for the cops to come. Let's go!"
As he spoke, the leading man waved his hand and called on everyone to walk out of the shadows and onto the street.
Then, the dozen people walked quickly to the door of No. 26. After looking at the closed door in front of them, the leading man spoke.
"Barry, do it!"
The man called for the strongest man in the team, the one holding a sledgehammer, to come and break down the door, but after two seconds of calling, no one came. Seeing this, the man couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Barry! Stop dilly-dallying! Get started!"
"Boss... behind, behind..." Barry's voice responded in a somewhat weak manner. Hearing this voice, the man turned his head impatiently.
"Behind, behind, what could be behind?"
The leading man turned his head, and what he saw next was a row of five figures in pitch-black uniforms standing four or five meters behind them. Each of them was holding a rifle, aiming at the crowd at the door of No. 26, with cold eyes under their iron masks.
"What? Guns?! Five rifles? Are these the bodyguards of this house? The employers didn't tell us they had this much firepower..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, the leading man was shocked. At this time, the door of No. 26, not far from them, opened at the same time, and several men in black with guns rushed out from inside. Together with the five men in black in front of them, they surrounded the gathered gang members. Seeing this scene, the gang thugs immediately huddled together.
Although the gang thugs still seemed to have the advantage in terms of numbers, with about ten people, while the men in black were seven or eight, they were no match for the men in black. Each of them carried a gun, and it was a standard rifle, which was not comparable to the pile of scrap metal in the hands of the thugs. Faced with the black muzzles of guns pointed at them, these thugs who were used to close combat on the streets had to back down.
"Damn it! Even the police don't have such fancy equipment! This is really hitting a wall! Didn't they say there were only a few ordinary bodyguards? ! "
Looking at the scene in front of him, the leading man was extremely annoyed and thought that if the financial sponsor who provided the information was in front of him, he would definitely give him a beating directly.
"Put down your weapons, raise your hands, squat down, and confess. If you resist, I will kill you without mercy."
Facing the group of gangsters in front of them, the hunters spoke in a serious tone. Listening to the orders and the black holes of the guns in front of them, the fighting spirit in the eyes of the gangsters quickly faded.
…
At this moment, on both sides of the Knight Road, at the fourth-floor window of a building, a figure was silently watching the confrontation scene below. When he saw the gang thugs losing their fighting spirit under the siege of the hunters, he spoke softly.
"Now is not the time for you to retreat... Chess pieces, let me give you some courage..."
While muttering to himself, Godfrey began to rhythmically strike the hollow bone in his hand that was engraved with mysterious patterns. All of a sudden, one invisible ghost after another swam out from the bone and appeared in front of Godfrey.
There were five ghosts in total, including men, women, children and the elderly. They had dull eyes, were thin and hungry, wore tattered clothes, were sweaty and slightly cold.
Holding the bones in his hand, Godfrey waved his hand towards the confrontation area below, and then these ghosts floated over there one after another and completely disappeared in the air.
…
On the street of Knights Road, at the scene of the confrontation, facing the strong pressure from the hunters, the leading man finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Hey, brothers, which one of you is this? There must be some misunderstanding between us. Don't be impulsive. We will put Wu Xi down right now."
While smiling, the leading man prepared to put the homemade steel pipe gun in his hand on the ground, and his men were ready to do the same. Seeing this scene, the hunters around them let down their guard a little.
At this moment, a barely detectable cold wind blew over the scene, and five invisible ghosts came with the wind and rushed towards the leading man who was firing the gun. The leading man's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment, and then he began to feel that his body was not listening to him.
"This, this matter..."
With a look of astonishment on his face, the man who was about to fire his gun tightened his grip on the gun under the control of the many invisible entities in his body, then suddenly stood up and fired at the hunter right in front of him. After a violent gunshot, the hunter fell to the ground with a gunshot in the abdomen.
"Fire!"
Faced with the sudden and shameless attack, the hunters immediately raised their guns and prepared to fight back at the stunned gang thugs in front of them. However, the invisible ghosts that had originally gathered on the leading man now all rushed out together and quickly drilled into the bodies of the five hunters in all directions.
Then…the five hunters felt their movements become sluggish, and their hands holding the guns began to tremble inexplicably, which greatly affected the hunters' aiming, and they all missed after firing.
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
After the hunters fired their guns, most of them missed their shots because their actions were disturbed by the ghosts. Only two gang thugs were hit and fell to the ground. However, this attack also aroused the anger of those who were originally preparing to surrender.
"They won't leave us any chance to live! Brothers! Let's fight this group of people!"
After a roar from the leader, the gang thugs picked up the weapons that were originally prepared to be placed on the ground and rushed towards the hunters around them.
