Chapter 2224 - 1718: Survival or Death?

Third update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

As an excellent sniper, having extremely strong psychological resilience is a must. Even in a situation like this, Tony would stabilize his mindset in the shortest possible time and then choose the best opportunity to strike...

When Qin Fang held Charlie hostage, there was a very subtle flaw, and Tony seized this opportunity to brazenly fire his gun...

Pfft~~

At this close range, the sniper rifle was of little use, so he had to use a handgun... The gun in his hand was equipped with a silencer, making it very safe, as it wouldn't disturb anyone around in such a quiet night.

The bullet was fired, traveling very fast, and the distance to Qin Fang was so short... This was almost a guaranteed hit!

Tony was an excellent sniper, and his gunmanship was naturally superb. He was confident that this shot would definitely hit Qin Fang... Although he wasn't sure he could kill Qin Fang, he would certainly inflict harm.

If there is damage, then Qin Fang would reveal more flaws, giving him more opportunities...

Clang~~

But just when Tony thought victory was in his grasp, he saw Qin Fang casually wave the knife in his hand, and the people around heard a piercing sound, and then...

Clatter!!

Some things strangely fell to the ground, and upon a closer look... they were two small lumps of metal.

If you look closer, they were the bullets shot from Tony's gun, now sliced in two...

"Hiss~~~"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

At the same time, everyone also understood why Qin Fang went out of his way to bring out a knife, which wasn't meant for Charlie but to deal with Tony's bullets...

"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately... you couldn't seize it!"

Slicing through Tony's bullet, Qin Fang remained extremely calm, merely glancing at Tony with disdain and speaking leisurely, as if it was a simple task!

"You won…"

Looking at the bullet cut in half on the ground, Tony's mouth was filled with bitterness.

He had always been confident in his gunmanship, especially after killing that King-level expert, which made him somewhat conceited, but today, he suffered a severe blow.

At such close range, with such an obvious flaw, and he shot first...

But the result was completely different from what he predicted. Qin Fang was still alive and well, even able to act after the event, slicing through a high-speed bullet with a knife, a level of cultivation even beyond ordinary King-level experts.

With this in mind, Tony realized he wasn't a match for Qin Fang at all... At this moment, he didn't even have the courage to raise his gun again, showing how heavy the blow was for him.

Clatter~~~

Tony let the gun in his hand fall, and sat down in despair, having no intention to launch another attack on Qin Fang.

As for the remaining two mercenaries, they looked at each other and then cautiously dropped their guns...

At this point, if they still didn't understand, they would be beyond help.

This "Andrew," who captured their captain Charlie so effortlessly, was an extremely terrifying Sovereign-tier powerhouse. If their team were complete and their defenses tight, they might have had the qualifications to contend, but now...

Instead of stubborn resistance, it was perhaps better to surrender.

"Not too foolish…"

Seeing their reaction, Qin Fang, though a bit surprised, found it expected, as he had ways to make them comply even if they wanted to resist. Tony's surrender only sped up the inevitable outcome.

Casually discarding Charlie, Qin Fang moved with a slight shift, controlling everyone else, including Tony... Then he pulled over the two unlucky ones, Pierre and another, who had fallen earlier.

"Are you Qin Fang?"

Just as Qin Fang finished, Tony suddenly said, catching him off guard while sitting there.

"Oh?"

Qin Fang looked at Tony, a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting him to guess his identity.

"It's you indeed…"

From Qin Fang's reaction, Tony knew he guessed correctly, "Seems my intuition was right; you are indeed a Sovereign-tier powerhouse…"

When Tony first targeted Qin Fang, he had already sensed Qin Fang's fearsome nature. Qin Fang's performance just now further confirmed this; at least Tony had never seen anyone slice a bullet shot at close range with a knife before. Qin Fang was undoubtedly the first, meaning his cultivation was beyond any powerhouse Tony had encountered.

The only possibility was that Qin Fang was a Sovereign-tier powerhouse...

"I'm just a minor figure in the Underground World!"

Qin Fang chuckled indifferently.

Although his goal was to become the King of Assassins, he was indeed not a Sovereign-tier powerhouse…

The King of Assassins is the supreme ruler among assassins, a peerless expert standing at the pinnacle of the Underground World, far beyond an ordinary King-level Expert, having surpassed even higher tiers like Emperor-tier and Sovereign-tier...

Though Qin Fang already possesses King-level strength and could ascend to that title at any time, he lacks the inclination, remaining just a humble Five-Star Assassin... And this level was achieved after Qin Fang killed a few formidable experts from the Underground World.

Recently, Qin Fang has been too lazy to undertake missions. His strength has increased, but his assassin ranking has remained stagnant, stuck at its previous level!

"Now, you're all in my hands. I have just one question... Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Qin Fang ignored Tony and addressed the six people before him, smiling as he asked.

"You..."

A mercenary heard Qin Fang's words and seemed to get angry immediately, opening his mouth to speak.

But...

Splash~~~

Qin Fang simply turned his head slightly, and the unlucky one instantly fell forward, with a faint red line appearing on his neck, gradually expanding and expanding until it turned into a fountain of blood!

"No need for unnecessary words. I only need answers..."

Qin Fang glanced coldly at those present, speaking in a simple and relaxed tone.

It's undeniable that Qin Fang's move was quite intimidating, swallowing all their unnecessary words instantly. They didn't want to end up like the unfortunate fellow who died from his reckless mouth.

"You first..."

Seeing the group calm down, Qin Fang was satisfied and casually pointed at one of the five.

"Want... to live!"

That person was stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with horror. Though his hands were stained with the blood of countless people, having long disregarded life or death, facing Qin Fang's cold eyes, his psyche collapsed almost instantly, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied without much confidence.

"Hmm, very good... Stand aside!"

Qin Fang seemed satisfied with the answer and nodded, letting that person move aside.

"Next... You!"

Then, Qin Fang casually pointed at another.

"Want to live!"

The second person was straightforward, nodding in agreement without a second thought.

"You stand aside too... Next, you!"

Qin Fang gave the same command, letting the person step aside, and then pointed to the next one.

"Want to live..."

"Want to live..."

"Want to live..."

This was repeated several times, almost everyone chose to live, even Tony, after a simple silence, chose "want to live".

"Go ahead, stop stalling, ask me directly what you want to know..."

But when Qin Fang pointed to the last team leader, Charlie, his response wasn't so simple. He looked at Qin Fang with a strange expression, seemingly disdainful as he spoke.

"Charlie..."

Once Charlie spoke, Tony and the others' expressions changed. They all respected their team leader Charlie and naturally didn't want him killed by Qin Fang.

"Tut tut tut... It seems you do have some influence in this team!"

But to their surprise, Qin Fang didn't kill Charlie decisively like before but smiled and said.

"Seems you already guessed my purpose for coming here... I'm a simple man. As long as you answer some questions I'm interested in, I can let you and even them go..."

This Charlie became the leader not because of his strength but because, even in such adverse circumstances, his mind was the calmest and clearest, able to analyze Qin Fang's true intentions.

"What do you want to know?"

Charlie smiled, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Well then... Let's chat over there!"

Qin Fang showed no concern for Charlie's sarcasm. He grabbed Charlie by the collar and swiftly dragged him to another room in the unfinished building for a more private exchange...

As for Tony and the others, they were already under Qin Fang's restraints. Even though they were physically free, they felt weak and powerless, unable to pull the trigger or wield a knife, and couldn't even muster the strength to stand and flee.

"Don't expect them to escape, and don't expect them to save you..."

Qin Fang dared to let them be because he had absolute confidence in controlling them. Even if Tony and the others entertained little schemes, they couldn't escape Qin Fang's grasp... The mini-map was watching them, and any move they made wouldn't escape Qin Fang's eyes! (To be continued.
