Chapter 84: Kidnapping, Undying
Cross pointed his gun at Skye and shouted loudly at Kane.
"Who do you think you are? Where do you think you are? This is New York. You've provoked our Boss. See if you can get out of here alive."
Kane wore a black combat uniform, holding a kukri reversed in his hand.
His cold gaze carried bloodthirsty ferocity.
He didn't argue with Cross about the ownership of the so-called holy artifact.
He simply waved his hand, and countless laser red dots almost covered Cross from head to toe.
Not just him, but Wesley, and even the seemingly trembling Japanese Man, had at least ten sniper rifles aimed at their heads.
Due to some earlier experiences, Kane and Ryan's feelings towards Tang Song were close to personal worship.
In his eyes, Skye was definitely not the Boss's wife; at most, she was the Boss's pet, a little mascot, like a little hamster.
But no one could touch the Boss's things. Whoever tried to snatch them would die, no negotiation.
Cross remained calm and composed. Beside him, although Wesley held a gun in his hand, sweat streamed down his forehead from his temples.
The surrounding roar and the long-delayed reinforcements made him feel a little flustered.
Just as Wesley's emotions were highly tense.
"Roar!"
A tiger roar sounded. Kane's eyes unknowingly turned blood red. His figure disappeared at some point, leaving only an afterimage in place.
When Kane reappeared, he was already in front of Skye, shielding her with his broad shoulders. His right fist slammed heavily into Cross's face, who had tried to stop him.
Cross was hit by a fist weighing over ten tons. The immense impact directly shattered half of his body.
Wesley, who had just recovered from the shock of the tiger roar, was directly splattered in the face by his own father.
"Father!"
Wesley touched the blood and flesh smeared on his face, roared, raised the gun in his hand, aimed at Kane, and pulled the trigger.
Half a clip of bullets hit Kane's chest, but they were instantly blocked by the golden light emanating from Kane's body.
Clinking and clanking, the sound of falling bullets rang out.
At this moment, over a dozen snipers opened fire simultaneously, and several patches of blood mist instantly exploded on Wesley's body.
Thump! As Wesley fell, he vigorously flicked his wrist.
A bullet left the barrel, drawing a graceful arc, and shot towards Kane's temple.
Clang! Kane backhanded with his kukri, splitting the bullet in two.
Looking at the dead Wesley, Kane sneered, "Welcome to New York!"
"Da da da da da da da da—"
"Puff puff puff!"
The sound of assault rifles, the sound of sniper rifle silencers, just as Kane finished speaking, guns from all directions immediately opened fire.
Without the slightest hesitation.
The Japanese Man, who had been standing behind Wesley acting like a little nobody, was directly blown into pieces.
...
Located in a hidden large base belonging to the Tang Group, hundreds of computers and server racks occupied a space the size of half a football field.
Over a dozen unkempt hackers wearing glasses were providing remote support to various tactical squads based on hidden surveillance footage from various locations.
These white, black, and Asian programmers were all found online by Skye; they were world-class hackers.
Boss Tang used money, beauties, and guns to gather them under his command. "Plum Blossom Squad 623, 367 to your lower left!"
A White Fatty wearing thick glasses tapped nimbly on the keyboard. An eighty-inch computer screen displayed over twenty surveillance footage feeds.
"Received!"
A rocket directly bombarded the location he reported.
A violent explosion sound rang out. Wesley's long-awaited reinforcements, a truck full of fully armed Mexican Gunman, were instantly destroyed.
"Diamond 812, one block ahead, armed police officers are entering the engagement zone. Suggest destroying the pedestrian overpass on the right!"
"Received!"
Four cigar missiles heavily struck the pedestrian overpass, amidst the rumbling sound of collapse.
This road was temporarily impassable for a short time! "Suspected military helicopter heading to the engagement zone, estimated arrival in five minutes!"
"Received."
Beep beep beep beep beep beep—In the base, a piercing alarm sound rang out. The faces of the many hackers changed, and their previously somewhat relaxed attitude instantly became tense.
The sound of keyboard tapping was incessant! "Someone is invading the surveillance network, fighting for control with us!"
"Set up botnet slaves, don't expose our line!"
"Use a virus, counter-invade, and expel him from the surveillance network!"
"Their computing power is too strong, botnet slaves are ineffective. Set up multiple dongles!" "Multi-layer dongle setup activated, blocking time 5.8 seconds. Suggest using physical network disconnection!"
"Five minutes is enough time. Pull all the corpses back!"
Just as the hackers in the base were clashing with S.H.I.E.L.D. Network Agent, Kane protected Skye and walked towards a nearby car, turning back to instruct his subordinates to clean up the scene.
The red truck that was originally used to block the road drove over. The side door opened, and several Cleaner jumped down, skillfully starting to clean up the corpses on the ground.
Just as two Cleaner were shoveling Wesley's corpse into a body bag, behind them, the Japanese Man, who had almost become a pile of mangled flesh, suddenly stood up completely unharmed.
"Ah, what long-lost pain!"
He shook his neck and suddenly transformed into a three to four-meter tall black humanoid specter.
"Whoosh!" Before the two Cleaner who heard the commotion could turn around, a black scythe directly slashed across their necks.
"Kill him!"
Kane turned his head, looked at the two beheaded Cleaner, immediately ordered his subordinates to take Skye away, and charged towards the black humanoid specter with his kukri.
"Bang bang bang..."
Gunfire erupted like firecrackers.
Countless bullets were sprayed onto the black humanoid specter, but this black humanoid specter seemed to constantly shift between mist and solid form. The bullets passing through the mist layer couldn't cause him any harm at all.
"Rocket barrage!"
The moment Kane's order was given, four rockets directly hit the black humanoid specter.
Amidst the firelight of the nearby explosion, the black humanoid specter swayed incessantly like a candle flame in a strong wind.
However, he quickly gathered the mist dispersed by the explosion. Facing the charging Kane, he directly swung the scythe in his hand.
Whoosh! The scythe and the kukri in Kane's hand crossed paths,
The meter-long blade of the black scythe was directly split in two by the kukri in Kane's hand.
"How is that possible?"
The black humanoid specter looked at the half-scythe in his hand and let out a cry of disbelief.
Before he could react, the kukri in Kane's hand, glowing with radiance and trailing several afterimages, directly sliced off his left lower leg.
Whoosh! Next was the right side. Kane's speed was so fast that the black humanoid specter couldn't react at all.
In less than a dozen breaths, the black humanoid specter was brutally cut down by Kane into a human swine.
Kane's last strike, the Three-Restriction Formation kukri manifested the phantom image of a fierce tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead, directly biting off the black humanoid specter's head in one bite.
Thump! The black humanoid specter dissipated, and a corpse missing its limbs and head fell to the ground.
Kane glanced at it, just about to put away his kukri.
The corpse in front of him suddenly twitched and transformed back into the black humanoid specter.
"I am unkillable!"
The black humanoid specter raised his restored scythe, his muffled voice filled with triumph.
"Is that so!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind him.
