Chapter 922 Scientist? Strongman?
At this moment, Lone Wolf was wearing a ghillie suit, holding his old partner, the Barrett. One eye peered through the scope at the villa below. With infrared enhancement, he could see the situation in the villa clearly.
He placed his hand back on the trigger, staring intently below without blinking, and muttered, "Let's see how arrogant you are. I specialize in curing arrogance..."
"Coward hiding in the shadows, show yourself if you dare!" Eagle King shouted.
He hated cowards who hid and attacked, especially those who used firearms!
He was a third-grade master of internal energy, but he couldn't withstand bullets.
However, the response to Eagle King was a sub-MOA bullet specifically for the Barrett!
*Bang!*
With a muffled sound, the bullet pierced through Eagle King's shoulder blade. This time, he didn't even have time to react!
Eagle King winced in pain and was about to curse again when another bullet flew towards him, hitting his knee and almost forcing him to his knees.
The once arrogant Eagle King was no longer arrogant at all.
Master Jiu and the others turned pale. They hadn't expected the Su family villa to hide such an unerring sniper!
Damn it!
Brother, this is just a villa, why does it feel like a military base?
They were all panicking. If they were picked off one by one by the sniper, they would likely meet their end!
Murong Meng and the others regained hope and smiled.
She quickly had people help Murong Laogui and the others back. The crisis was temporarily resolved. Even if no one helped them back, Eagle King wouldn't have charged forward; it was too dangerous!
The more someone was like that, the more they valued their own life!
"Master Jiu, what do you do now?" Yang Chaotian sneered.
The pressure returned to Eagle King and his group.
Master Jiu trembled, "Lord Eagle King, what should we do?"
Eagle King's heart sank, but he clearly had a plan. He moved his body and lunged towards Professor Long!
Everyone immediately understood that Eagle King intended to take Professor Long hostage.
They absolutely could not let him take Professor Long hostage!
Lone Wolf saw this clearly, cursed "shameless," and pulled the trigger. The spinning bullet instantly tore through the air and shot from a thousand meters away.
"Cover me!"
Eagle King shouted.
Master Jiu was stunned and didn't react.
Eagle King couldn't spare the time and grabbed Master Jiu, using him as a shield. It was only then that Master Jiu realized that the so-called cover was actually a human shield.
Damn it!
In an instant, his expression became incredibly comical, and his face turned green!
*Bang!*
"Ah—"
The next moment, a scream rang out.
Master Jiu's thigh was blown into a large hole by the Barrett's bullet.
Master Jiu lay on the ground, clutching his thigh and screaming in agony.
Eagle King also did not escape unscathed, his thigh was grazed.
However, fortunately, Eagle King had already reached out and grabbed the seemingly terrified Professor Long.
Just now, Eagle King had pinpointed the sniper Lone Wolf's position. He used Professor Long and a stone pillar as cover to shield his body from the sniper's shots.
He taunted, "Shoot again if you dare! Hahaha, shoot Professor Long if you dare?"
Lone Wolf's sight had lost Eagle King's figure, but his expression was calm. He shrugged helplessly, put the Barrett down, lit a cigarette, and muttered, "My mission is complete!"
He exhaled smoke, no longer bothering with the situation below, his gaze drifting subtly towards Professor Long, and he murmured, "Next, it's your turn to perform..."
Everyone became tense. Now that Eagle King held Professor Long hostage, they were helpless!
At this moment, Eagle King sneered, "Get the sniper out of here immediately, or I'll kill Professor Long right now!"
He was choking Professor Long's neck tightly.
Yang Chaotian's expression changed.
Professor Long could build a lithography machine, which was extremely important to the Su family in the provincial capital. Kyoto's Su Ning also wanted to build a lithography machine. But if they had to compromise.
Of course, even if Professor Long were killed, he wouldn't want the Su family in the provincial capital to build a lithography machine.
If they didn't comply with Eagle King, then Eagle King might go to extremes!
"Don't worry, I'll have the sniper leave now!" Yang Chaotian waved towards a direction on the mountain.
Lone Wolf fired a shot into the air, then turned and left.
With Eagle King's eyesight, he could see that Lone Wolf had left.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to be careless. What if there was a second sniper?
If he revealed himself, wouldn't he be shot in the head?
That was a Barrett. A shot to the head would surely result in decapitation.
"Can you release Professor Long now?" Yang Chaotian continued.
"Prepare a bulletproof car for us to leave!" Eagle King continued to make demands.
This cunning fellow wanted to escape!
If a bulletproof car was actually brought, Professor Long would likely be taken away. Wouldn't that be a disaster?
Yang Chaotian hesitated, contemplating how to resolve the matter perfectly.
"You refuse? Fine, I'll kill Professor Long right now!"
Eagle King continued to threaten.
"Alright, alright, I'll prepare the car..."
Yang Chaotian gritted his teeth and agreed, turning to have his subordinates prepare the car.
"Professor Long, come with me. Our Kyoto Su family will offer you unbelievably superior conditions!" Eagle King turned to Professor Long.
"Leave? With so many people, can you leave alone? If you have any helpers, you'd better call them out quickly. Perhaps you can save your life."
Professor Long, however, appeared extremely calm.
Judging from his demeanor and tone, it was difficult to imagine that he was a hostage.
"Just a rabble. Why would I, Eagle King, need help?"
Eagle King glanced dismissively at Master Jiu and the others.
"So you don't have any helpers?" Professor Long asked calmly.
"I, Eagle King, always act alone!" Eagle King said disdainfully, revealing a touch of arrogance.
At this moment, the car Yang Chaotian had called finally arrived, a bulletproof car prepared according to Eagle King's request.
This type of car, even if targeted by a Barrett, would require three shots to penetrate!
"Let's go!"
Seeing the bulletproof car before him, Eagle King was very satisfied and said with a smile.
"No, I've decided not to go."
Professor Long suddenly sat down on a nearby stone bench.
"You have no say in this!"
"My legs are on me, why do I have no say?" Professor Long replied indifferently.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Eagle King choked Professor Long's neck and began to apply pressure.
He didn't believe that anyone could truly be indifferent to life and death.
Seeing that Professor Long's eyes were rolling back and his face was pale, the others immediately cried out in alarm, wanting to stop Eagle King.
But Eagle King seemed to have no intention of stopping.
He wanted to tame Professor Long, to make him obediently follow him.
"Agree to come with me?" Eagle King asked coldly again.
Suddenly—
Professor Long, who had been rolling his eyes, his face pale and nearly suffocating, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Eagle King with a smile, "You want to threaten me with this much strength? Aren't you looking down on people too much?"
"You..."
Eagle King was stunned. What was wrong with this guy?
The next moment, Eagle King's face changed even more drastically.
He saw the hand that was choking Professor Long suddenly subjected to a tremendous force.
It was actually forced open by Professor Long!
"This..."
Eagle King was best at hand-to-hand combat.
His Eagle Claw technique was renowned, and his hand strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Didn't they say Professor Long was just a weak scientist who couldn't even lift a chicken, how did he become a strongman who could force open his hand?
