Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 502: A Traitor Appears Within

Xiao Xuan lay prone, focused intently on the forthcoming target, as seconds ticked by excruciatingly slowly. Every second seemed to crawl by, and the ticking of his watch felt like the ticking of doom.

As the clock struck twelve-oh-three, people slowly emerged from inside. Four individuals stood at four corners, guns at the ready.

In the middle, eight people in teams of three struggled to carry large crates between them. The crates appeared heavy, and the trios found them challenging to lift.

Xiao Xuan inhaled deeply upon seeing everyone appear. He then pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullet instantly passed through a man’s head, and before the victim could react, he was dead beyond any doubt.

Another was puzzled as to why his comrade had stopped moving. Upon realizing the situation, he tensed and fired a warning shot alerting the others.

From a distance, Xiao Xuan showed no mercy and immediately fired three shots. The heads of the four criminals on the periphery exploded instantaneously.

The remaining six sensed danger and quickly set down two of the heavy crates, drawing their weapons to guard. They had no clue about Xiao Xuan’s specific location, however.

Though clearly professionally trained, when Xiao Xuan’s fifth shot took down another one of them, they finally located him, unleashing a hail of bullets in his direction.

Xiao Xuan quickly moved to a new spot, leveraging his high ground advantage and the superiority of his semi-automatic sniper rifle’s sights.

He found another position and promptly took out one more before ducking and moving to the next spot.

Meanwhile, the wail of a police siren rose in the distance. The penetrating sound traveled far, sometimes making one wonder if the criminals had already fled by the time the alarm sounded, questioning the point of the alert.

Hiding elsewhere, Xiao Xuan peeked out to take down another person but found, to his surprise, that the enemy had already jumped into their vehicles, and the bodies were gone.

The decision of the opposite side was startling. Xiao Xuan took aim at their tires and fired, but the bullet failed to penetrate.

He guessed their cars were specially modified as they quickly vanished into the end of the street.

Xiao Xuan didn’t know what the crates contained, but it was certainly no ordinary cargo. It might be gold or perhaps even more precious than that, but these concerns were no longer relevant to him. He now had to quickly hide his gear and retreat.

Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi followed close to He Jiang’s side. Originally, He Jiang had wanted to send them away, but they stubbornly refused to leave, leaving him no choice but to let them stay.

They had started with more than ten people, but now only the three of them remained, as the others had long since fled. He Jiang muttered under his breath, wondering about the state of things back at the bank. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Thinking of this, he took out his phone to make a call, only to discover that it was waterlogged and unusable.

Enraged, He Jiang smashed the phone, then turned to Xiang Yu and said, "It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you three jinxes, things wouldn’t have turned out this way."

Unashamedly, Xiang Yu chuckled and replied, "Boss Scarface, don’t be mad. How about we three make a trip to the Western Paradise?"

Upon hearing this, He Jiang’s expression changed again. To him, Xiang Yu was an imbecile, having witnessed the brutal scene earlier and still suggesting a suicidal venture—a true perversion.

He Jiang and two others hailed a cab on the main road and headed towards the base. They got out on the outskirts and continued on foot from there.

But no sooner had He Jiang arrived when someone came running hurriedly towards him and said, "Brother, there was a call from above, telling you to hurry over."

"What’s the situation?" He Jiang asked as he walked inside.

"It’s said that the bank was ambushed," the man said.

"What?" He Jiang’s face instantly turned pale as he realized a serious problem. If things had gone smoothly at the bank, it would be fine, but if not, the higher-ups would surely hold him accountable.

He Jiang was responsible for creating chaos in the center of the city, drawing the attention of the entire population, and providing cover for the bank operation. Now, they had failed to provide proper cover and had lost the organization’s "cash cows," a severe misstep.

When He Jiang entered the room and saw Xiao Xuan pretend to be asleep, he was so angry that he kicked him in the buttocks and cursed, "Where the hell were you when this all started?"

Xiao Xuan was just feigning sleep, and being kicked for no reason, a surge of rage welled up in him, tempted to snap the neck of the punk before him.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu quickly gave Xiao Xuan a look, signaling him not to be impulsive. Xiao Xuan managed to suppress his anger and did not lash out.

Xiang Yu hurried over and said, "Brother Scar, don’t be angry, man. It’s his loss for not going, and from now on, even if he wants to go, we won’t let him."

He Jiang pointed at the three of them, too livid to speak, then turned and walked away, not forgetting to yell, "Keep a close watch on them for me."

After changing his clothes, He Jiang drove alone straight into the city. He arrived at a hidden building and, after a body search, entered a room.

The room was dimly lit, with a long rectangular table in the middle and seven people sitting on either side. A person at the head of the table was partly obscured in darkness, their face barely visible unless looked at closely.

"What happened?" The person at the head of the table shouted at He Jiang, his voice young, probably just in his early twenties.

"I’m sorry, big brother." He Jiang first apologized, then recounted the situation.

The people there were rendered speechless by Xiang Yu’s actions. Although He Jiang had failed to complete his mission this time, they were quite fond of He Jiang’s method of indoctrination.

In reality, He Jiang’s status within the organization was not high. He had not been part of any substantial tasks and was merely a hindrance; the organization would function with or without him.

Seeing that the big brother wasn’t blaming him, He Jiang quickly sat down and kept silent, feeling somewhat odd. Usually, if he made such a big mistake, others would be talking over one another in criticism, but today, not a single person spoke out.

The person at the head looked around the room and then said, "As I’ve mentioned before, there’s definitely a mole in our organization. Since the mission in our fourth district failed, we have to take full responsibility. The Sect Hierarch places great importance on this matter; if we don’t handle it well, none of us will get off easily."

"We must secure the object, but our first task is to find out who the mole is. You have two days; if you can’t find the traitor by then, you’re all out of here. If you can’t handle being my right-hand men, I will replace you immediately."

The people sitting on either side of the table all kept their heads down, silent. In their minds, they were secretly scrutinizing their subordinates, wondering who might be the mole...
