Chapter 226 Slaying
The flare had been sent out, and the Radiant Corps would soon enter District 13; there could be no more delay.
Even if the Capital Commandant was obsessed with killing spies, he wouldn't ignore an invasion of District 13.
Xu Shuo held a light sniper rifle from the military district, aiming it at Manager Zhang, who was blocking the Capital Commandant's attack. He then moved the crosshair slightly downwards to rest on Manager Zhang's left shoulder before tilting the angle.
At this spot, a shot not only could graze Manager Zhang's shoulder, but should also manage to hit the Capital Commandant behind him.
It would be quite normal for an ordinary person with a disabled left hand to accidentally miss a shot, right?
So normal!
Xu Shuo pulled the trigger!
The sound of the unprocessed sniper bullet was exceedingly distinct. The Capital Commandant, who was punching it out with Manager Zhang, sharply perceived it and also realized that, based on the trajectory of the bullet, it wouldn't hit the person in front of him!
The Capital Commandant's punch swerved suddenly, and his body leaned back to let Manager Zhang's attack fall through, but in the next instant— "Bang!"
Manager Zhang's shoulder burst into a mist of blood.
The Male Waiter, who was preparing to strike from the side, faltered in his steps. The fear brought by the sniper rifle made him extremely nervous; he quickly looked up toward the direction the bullet had come from.
Doctor Kong on a distant rooftop put down his sniper rifle; judging by the relaxed angle of his shoulder, it seemed he had sighed with regret.
Hisss... We're building up your Radiant Glory, and yet you shoot your teammates in the back!
Whose side are you on, anyway?!
As he was filled with fear, he saw the doctor pick up the sniper rifle again, its dark muzzle almost blending into the night, yet the targeted chill was unmistakable!
"Bang!"
The Male Waiter reflexively stepped back.
However, in reality, even if he hadn't stepped back, the bullet would have only brushed past him.
—Since he had already hit Manager Zhang, Xu Shuo continued to merely shoot in the direction of the Male Waiter to pretend he was supporting the Capital Commandant.
Since his shooting skills were terribly poor and he couldn't hold the rifle steady, it was fine that he couldn't hit the target, wasn't it?
Perfectly fine!
Consequently, to the frustration of all three parties involved, there was now a sniper firing missed shots from afar.
The Male Waiter was scared stiff by the sniper bullets whizzing by now and then, the Capital Commandant was irate that someone who couldn't hit the target was still disrupting the fight, and Manager Zhang, who was repeatedly targeted, was in an even worse mood!
Even though the Capital Commandant's glaring could be felt from afar, the other side did not give up the idea of firing the gun for support. Of course, it was also possible that it was too dark at night, and the other side couldn't see the glares at all.
After a while, Xu Shuo ran out of bullets in his magazine and started to clumsily and slowly reload.
On the other side, all three men actually felt a sense of relief.
The Capital Commandant no longer paid attention to that direction. His expression was sinister and cold, and his fighting became even more fierce and solemn. After catching Manager Zhang, his palm transformed into a blade and thrust harshly towards his heart!
Manager Zhang immediately clutched at his wrist, stopping the thrust only after piercing skin and flesh.
The Capital Commandant's knee pressed against Manager Zhang's chest, pinning him tightly to the ground. His palm blade was as hard as iron, and under the force of their struggle, it inched closer and closer to the heart within the flesh.
He remained expressionless, his sharp, cold gaze treating him like he was already a dead man.
At that moment, the Male Waiter quietly attacked from behind, his dagger aiming for the Capital Commandant's neck!
However, even with his eerily shadow-like speed, he was still keenly sensed by the Capital Commandant, who instantly grabbed the approaching dagger in his hand.
Then, as he applied pressure to Manager Zhang on the ground with his right hand, he also exerted a slight force on the dagger in his left hand.
Under the Male Waiter's shocked gaze, his system-assigned dagger gradually bent under the other's grip until, after a certain degree of bending, the blade snapped with a crack, its sharp tip glistening.
The Capital Commandant grabbed the broken blade with his reverse hand and, ignoring the Male Waiter in front of him, fiercely stabbed at Manager Zhang on the ground!
"Uh!"
Manager Zhang's hands vigorously resisted the Capital Commandant's wrist that was stabbing towards his chest. But when he noticed the blade coming towards his face, his body acted faster than his brain, using one hand to block the tip of the blade; however, his heart was penetrated by the Capital Commandant's palm blade in that instant!
Under Manager Zhang's shocked and speechless gaze, the Capital Commandant, who pierced the heart effortlessly with his palm, closed his fingers, expressionlessly staring down at his suddenly pained and frightened face.
"Bang!"
A bullet suddenly pierced the Capital Commandant's chest, causing him to freeze for a moment.
As another shot rang from behind, the Capital Commandant quickly retreated, but due to the close range, he still couldn't avoid this shot.

He knew the Male Waiter would use the opportunity to attack, but the Capital Commandant hadn't taken it seriously before.
Now, with bullets piercing through his chest and abdomen, blood gushing forth, he focused his gaze on the silver pistol in the Male Waiter's hands.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He was certain that when he previously fought with the Male Waiter, the latter had absolutely no firearms on him!
Furthermore, he had never seen this style of pistol before.
The bullets that had just pierced his body were also unfamiliar!
The Capital Commandant's eyes narrowed dangerously.
The Male Waiter held the gun with shaking fingertips, realizing something after watching his dagger being bent and broken.
To deal with the Capital Commandant, normal methods might not suffice.
If not using his props now, then when?
What rubbish is Worth Points if not seized now to deal with this human tank, otherwise he might lose much more than just some Worth Points!
