Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 Street Gunfight

Prague, airport exit.

Zhang Jie dragged his suitcase, hurrying through the crowd.

He wore sunglasses and casual clothes, looking like an ordinary tourist.

After casually hailing a taxi, Zhang Jie went to the nearest hotel.

He made a phone call, and soon a 'delivery' arrived at his door.

Inside were not clothes for changing, but two glock 34s, four spare magazines, a custom suit, and a folding tactical knife.

"Equipment in place, next step is reconnaissance."

He took out his phone and re-confirmed the mission details:

[Three-Star Mission]

Location: Czech Republic · Prague

Target: To be confirmed (Issued within 24 hours of accepting the mission)

Bounty: 60,000 usd (First come, first served)

Current number of takers: 2 / 2

"Damn it!"

Zhang Jie couldn't help but curse.

Multiplayer mission?

This meant he not only had to eliminate the target but also had to complete it before the other assassin.

Otherwise, his trip to Czech Republic would not only be in vain, but he would also have to pay for the airfare and equipment shipping costs out of his own pocket.

"Alright, then let's see who's faster."

He composed himself, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the booked hotel.

An hour later, inside the hotel room.

Zhang Jie sat at the table, a map of Prague city spread before him. His finger glided along the streets, quickly memorizing every main road, alley, bridge, and possible escape route.

"Old Town, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle..."

Prague isn't large, but its streets are intricate, especially in the Old Town, where the cobblestone paths wind and twist, making it ideal for ambushes and escapes.

"The target shouldn't be in too remote a place; most likely it's the city center or a high-end hotel."

He closed the map, deciding to go out and scout first.

First, he rented a bicycle.

On the streets of Prague, night had already fallen.

Zhang Jie rode his bicycle, leisurely traversing the cobblestone streets.

He wore a baseball cap, looking like an ordinary tourist, but his eyes constantly scanned the surroundings.

The locations of surveillance cameras, potential sniper points, corners suitable for ambushes...

"Hmm, this street is very suitable for interception..."

"That square has an open view, not suitable for action..."

"Charles Bridge has too much foot traffic, but the small path under the bridge allows for a quick retreat..."

As he rode, he constructed a tactical map in his mind, ensuring he could react quickly in any situation.

However, just as he turned a street corner—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Intense gunshots suddenly erupted!

Zhang Jie slammed on the brakes, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Damn it! What's going on? A terrorist attack?"

He quickly pushed his bicycle to the side of the road, pressing his body against the wall, his gaze fixed on the source of the gunshots.

At the end of the street, a red Ferrari was speeding madly, followed closely by a yellow minibus, with gunmen on board constantly firing at the Ferrari!

"Damn, what's this? A gang shootout?"

He looked up and saw a red Ferrari F430 weaving through traffic at an astonishing speed, its body gleaming dangerously under the neon lights.

"Damn it, is this a movie shoot?"

Zhang Jie muttered to himself.

The next second, his pupils suddenly constricted.

A yellow truck roared over, its driver holding the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other, he was firing a strangely modified Pistol at the Ferrari!

The blonde woman in the Ferrari didn't even turn her head.

She calmly shifted gears and accelerated, the red sports car Shooting out like an arrow from a bow.

The man, who had been forcibly pulled into the car, looked terrified, his tie still hanging outside the car door.

Suddenly, the woman did something that made Zhang Jie gape: she kicked through the front windshield, then lay herself completely on the hood!

Her long legs hooked the steering wheel, her body fully exposed outside the car, and she fired her Pistols backward with both hands.

"Bang bang bang!"

The modified 1911 made a deafening sound.

Bullets accurately struck the truck's hood, emitting plumes of white smoke.

The truck driver suddenly swerved, and the yellow truck crashed into several cars, attempting to overtake from the side.

Just then, a bus unexpectedly cut in between the two vehicles.

The woman seized the opportunity to sit back in the driver's seat, and the Ferrari accelerated again.

"No!"

The man roared, raising his Pistol. He flicked his wrist at a strange angle.

"Bang!"

The bullet actually curved in a bizarre arc, bypassed the bus, and precisely hit the Ferrari's right rear wheel!

The Ferrari began to shake violently, but she stabilized the car with her astonishing driving skills.

Ahead, three police cars suddenly appeared, forming a roadblock across the road.

The police officers shouted with raised guns: "Stop! Stop immediately!"

A cold smile played on the woman's lips.

Just as Zhang Jie thought she was going to crash into the roadblock, the Ferrari suddenly made a sharp turn, its body almost at a 45-degree angle to the ground, completing a side-flip take-off on just two wheels!

"What the f-?"

As it was about to land, it directly crashed into a bus, dissipating the force and landing safely.

The truck driven by Carlos was not so lucky.

He had to slam on the brakes, and the out-of-control truck crashed into a bus.

The bus spun and blocked the middle of the road, completely obstructing Carlos's path.

The Ferrari finally escaped the pursuit, but its right rear wheel was completely ruined.

The car skewed and skidded for a distance, finally stopping at an intersection less than ten meters from Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie held his breath.

He could clearly see the situation inside the car: the woman was calm, while the man in the passenger seat was still shaken and slumped in his seat, looking like he was about to vomit.

What startled Zhang Jie the most was when the woman suddenly turned her head, her sharp eyes looking directly at his location.

Zhang Jie could feel the scrutiny and warning in her gaze, and at the same time, he clearly saw the woman's appearance.

Then the woman restarted the barely drivable Ferrari, and as it slowly drove past Zhang Jie.

He clearly heard the woman say to the man: "Welcome to the real world, Wesley."

Zhang Jie stood rooted to the spot, watching the red sports car gradually disappear.

His back was soaked with cold sweat, but his mind was racing.

"Was that just...? The bullet curved? What kind of black technology is this, damn it?"

"Is the person in the passenger seat named Wesley?"

"Most importantly... that woman... she looks exactly like Angelina Jolie, holy cow!"

First, rule out Angelina Jolie, because it's impossible!

Next, rule out Max, because she's not in Czech Republic!

So the correct answer is... it's Simmons!

The somewhat eerie thing is the twin sister.

"Holy crap!" Zhang Jie almost shouted out loud.

Mrs. Schneider's second granddaughter!

Max's twin sister!

Her sister is one of the top ten assassins in the Ouroboros Family!

Judging from her actions just now, she's not a simple character either!

It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

I just arrived in Czech Republic and already ran into her?

Damn it!

So the world is a global village, is that right?

I meet acquaintances everywhere I go!

In the distance, the siren grew closer.

Zhang Jie took one last look at the accident scene, then turned and quickly left.

He felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite place it at the moment.
