Mercenary's War
Chapter 2265 - 2241: Knocking on the Door
Medusa strode straight towards the two men standing nervously at the entrance, watching the street, with elegance and poise. She gracefully got in front of one of the guards standing by the street and, without any warning, flicked her hand, then swiftly moved towards the second one and flicked her hand again.
As both guards instinctively clutched their slightly aching necks, Medusa raised both fists towards the camera by the entrance and simultaneously extended her middle fingers, smiling slightly at the camera.
After intentionally exposing herself to the surveillance camera with that middle-finger gesture, Medusa explosively kicked one man’s head with her high heels—the one clutching his neck with one hand while groping his lower back with the other.
The thin, long heel stabbed directly into the guard’s eye socket, accompanied by a scream. Medusa retracted her foot, leaving the high heel embedded in the man’s face before elegantly turning around and kicking out her left foot.
This time, Medusa used her toe for the kick. The man whom she kicked moved his hand away from his neck, which turned a trickle of blood into a spraying mist.
Medusa sidestepped to avoid the spraying blood mist, crouched to pull a gun from a man’s lower back, and waved it at Number Thirteen and Lion. She then reached down again to retrieve her high heel, slipped it back on, and turned once more. She carefully adjusted the spraying man’s position so the blood mist sprayed onto the ground instead of splattering her, then felt around the man’s body and withdrew another gun.
With elegance, Medusa held a gun in one hand and modeled her walk aside, spinning the gun around her index finger with a smug expression.
Lion, carrying a rocket launcher, placed his left index and middle fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle, then promptly fired a rocket at the street-side wooden door.
The rocket spun and hit the wooden door, resulting in a loud boom that carved a bowl-sized hole in it.
Lion casually discarded the rocket launcher, and when Number Thirteen handed him a second one, he said indifferently, "There’s a steel plate inside the wooden door."
Lion replied just as casually, "Yes, but the steel plate is too thin."
Number Thirteen pointed at the wooden door and said, "I meant to hit the lock, or we won’t be able to get in."
Lion nodded and leisurely walked forward with the rocket launcher. Number Thirteen shouted loudly, "Do you want to die here? There might be snipers inside."
Lion stopped, aimed the rocket launcher for a moment, and fired a second rocket. Following another loud explosion, another hole was made in the wooden door, but it neither fell nor opened.
Number Thirteen frowned and said, "You missed the shot."
Lion retorted self-righteously, "You mentioned snipers inside, so of course, I shot from afar."
Number Thirteen said calmly, "I meant for you to hide, not to shoot from a distance. Now we’ve failed; we can’t open the door."
Lion shrugged and said, "Then you should have made it clear. You shouldn’t have used mercenary jargon with me."
Number Thirteen glanced around, then softly remarked, "We can’t get in, we’re out of rockets."
Lion sighed and said helplessly, "Then let’s not go in. Seems we’re not suited for brute force actions anyway."
After speaking, Lion blew another loud whistle, waved at Medusa, dropped the rocket launcher, and turned around to leave with Number Thirteen.
Medusa, holding two guns, made an asking gesture at first, then helplessly detoured back. After Medusa got into the car, Lion drove straight out.
"Did we fail?"
Medusa curiously asked, and Lion said, extremely frustrated, "We failed, couldn’t open the door, and I don’t want one of us dying on our last mission."
Medusa shrugged and asked, "What now?"
Lion said dismissively, "Forget attacking, it’s not our strong suit, but we can still shoot the target like we did in the old days."
Medusa scoffed, "That’s too cliché. Have you called the police?"
Number Thirteen said calmly, "Called them, right here." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Lion stopped the car,
Number Thirteen stood by the roadside, followed by Lion, who stood next to him. After standing for a brief moment, a police car rushed over with its siren blaring.
With a panicked expression, Number Thirteen dashed to the middle of the road, waving his arms frantically. The police car screeched to a halt in front of him, and Number Thirteen immediately climbed anxiously to the police car window.
"A murder happened here!"
The police quickly opened the car door, but before the second foot hit the ground, Number Thirteen chopped the cop in the neck, then snatched the fallen police hat.
Lion had already opened the passenger side door, pressing a gun against the cop’s head. Once the cop raised his hands and got out of the car, Number Thirteen suddenly said, "Don’t shoot!"
A stunned Lion replied, his hand raised, "Why?"
Number Thirteen said calmly, "Boss doesn’t like it; he’ll be angry if he finds out."
After an astonishing strike, Lion asked, "Did I hear that right?"
Number Thirteen said gravely, "Quickly change clothes."
They began stripping the police officer’s clothes right there on the street, and both Number Thirteen and Lion started changing clothes in full view of the public, while Medusa took out a small box and started applying it to Lion’s face as he poked his head out to change clothes.
With a simple touch-up, in less than two minutes, Number Thirteen and Lion had changed clothes. In the shocked expressions of many pedestrians, they nonchalantly hoisted each officer and tossed them into the trunk before climbing into the police car.
Lion said to Medusa by the roadside, "Sorry, no female officers, we’ll be back soon."
The police car rushed away, leaving Medusa waving her arm in frustration.
Number Thirteen and Lion drove the police car directly to the house with two newly blasted holes at the door. Fortunately, they were indeed the first to arrive at the scene as police.
Number Thirteen drew his gun, stepped out of the car, crouched by a corpse for a glance, then walked to the breached door and peeked inside before loudly yelling, "Police, open the door! Open it now!"
Through the holes, they could see people inside, and the people inside had guns. However, the disadvantage was that two people had died outside, yet those inside didn’t even dare to come out for a look.
Meanwhile, Lion turned his body aside, listened to the radio in the collar for a moment, then fiercely shouted in Italian, "Leave quickly! The eastern block has a massive firefight between armed terrorists and our people; we must evacuate!"
Number Thirteen loudly retorted, "Shut up, you don’t understand."
After berating Lion, Number Thirteen yelled inside, "Leave here now! Do you want to die here? Those people have cannons! Leave quickly; our Boss doesn’t want to clean up your mess again. Don’t let this place become a warzone; you either leave now or wait to die here! We’re leaving it to you!"
