Chapter 401


    Ten years ago, the Interpol surrounded andunched an attack on the second leader of Phantom Wolf.


    Finally, they managed to kill him in a vige. Later, a huge explosion urred there. All elite officers who


    were involved in that operation died in the explosion.


    None of them survived and their corpses were blown up into pieces in the explosion too. The entire


    vige waspletely destroyed and burnt to the ground, causing lots of deaths and casualties. The


    center of explosion was the body of the second leader of Phantom Wolf.


    He actually turned himself into a suicide bomber by imnting a bomb in his body, which would explode


    anytime. The bomb would go off as soon as he died, so no one could escape from the explosion. Even if


    he didn’t die, he could still detonate the bomb whenever he wanted. He was that ruthless and cruel!


    Michael red at him fiercely, wanting to blow up the leader of Phantom Wolf even if it meant sacrificing


    himself, but he couldn’t do so, for there were residential areas nearby. If the bomb had exploded, not just


    Phantom Wolf’s leader, but everyone here would die as well.


    Phantom Wolf’s leader knew Michael had given in to his wish, so he grabbed Sophia’s arm and left,


    dragging her along with him.


    He wanted Michael to feel the helplessness of having to see his enemy standing right in front of him but


    being unable to do anything about it. Besides, he wanted Michael to just watch him taking his wife away


    right before his eyes.


    Indeed, Michael really couldn’t do anything at all now. He still underestimated Phantom Wolf’s leader’s


    savagery.


    “You let her go and I’ll let you go.” Michael sounded humble as he put his pride aside.


    Phantom Wolf’s leader smirked. “Do you think you’re still in a position to bargain with me now?”


    Phantom Wolf’s leader was a demented psychopath who was not afraid of dying. The worst case


    scenario would be him dying while taking everyone with him.


    Thus, Michael dared not provoke him too much. With just the slightest bit of mistake, everyone would die


    along with him.


    Suddenly, the leader of Phantom Wolf froze in shock. It turned out that the cold muzzle of a gun was


    pressed against his waist. Without him noticing it, Sophia had somehow managed to obtain a gun.


    “Let go of me.”


    She released the safety catch effortlessly in an experienced way before poking the gun at his waist


    harshly. The gun belonged to one of the henchmen of the leader of Phantom Wolf just now. After the


    man was shot in the head, Sophia automatically snatched the gun away from him.


    Phantom Wolf’s leader didn’t say a word as he released Sophia’s arm and raised his arms slowly, like he


    was surrendering.


    Being freed from the control of Phantom Wolf’s leader, Sophia clenched the gun tightly as she used the


    last bit of energy left in her body to back away step by step, all the while keeping a close eye on


    Phantom Wolf’s leader, for fear that he might still do something else.


    As for Phantom Wolf’s leader, while raising his arms and cing them behind his head, he fearlessly


    exposed his back in the direction where Sophia’s gun was pointing. Then, step by step, he left the ce


    in a rxed manner.


    Sophia’s hand, which she used to hold the gun, trembled slightly. As she backed away step by step, she


    suddenly fell into a warm embrace.


    Michael held Sophia, who was covered in blood. Kissing her gently on her injured delicate face, he held


    onto her hand with the gun in it, cing his finger over the trigger.


    He could see the back of Phantom Wolf’s leader, still within shooting range right in front of the muzzle of


    the gun. With just a simple pull of the trigger, the man whom he despised very much would disappear


    from the world forever.


    However, he couldn’t take the risk. If he pulled the trigger, Phantom Wolf’s leader was probably not the


    only one who would die here; all the people around here would die too!


    In the end, Michael grabbed Sophia’s hand and persuaded her to put down the gun.


    “Just let him go. We still have a chance to catch him in the future.”


    Michael’s voice was very gentle. It sounded like an invisible hand caressing Sophia’s ears. As she


    nced after Phantom Wolf’s leader, who disappeared into the dark night, everything in front of her then


    turned ckpletely. She copsed, falling into a warm embrace…


    At the same time, Phantom Wolf’s leader turned around and looked at Sophia, his expression unclear


    under that human skin mask of his.


    Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, which caught everyone by surprise. A bullet pierced through the body of


    Phantom Wolf’s leader, causing his whole body to convulse uncontrobly.


    Everyone was frightened out of their wits on the spot. All of them froze and nobody even thought of


    taking cover. Who’s the idiot who actually had the courage to shoot? If Phantom Wolf’s leader detonates


    the bomb, would the people around here still be alive?


    However, to everyone’s surprise, Phantom Wolf’s leader didn’t say anything, nor did he detonate the


    bomb. He simply red in the direction of the sniper before turning around and leaving with difficulty. As


    he went far away, he left a trail of blood behind him…


    Everyone finally felt relieved by the time he left.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    It seemed like the leader of Phantom Wolf cherished his own life very much too.


    Soon, he was picked up by his other subordinates, leaving behind the bodies of his two dead henchmen


    lying motionlessly on the ground.


    After disposing the corpses in a simple and hasty manner, everyone left the ce quickly as soon as


    possible, because the huge explosion just now had attracted the police’s attention and they were on their


    way here now.


    Michael ordered his men to carry Sophia into the car and it drove away at the fastest speed possible.


    Meanwhile, the final car simply remained parked there without any intention of leaving as the people in


    there waited for the sniper who did everyone a big favor just now.


    Just now, the sniper hid himself in a higher location and fired a fatal shot at the two henchmen of the


    leader of Phantom Wolf. If the situation allowed him to fire a simr shot at Phantom Wolf’s leader, the


    man would have be a corpse by now.


    Soon, a young manpletely covered in blood appeared, carrying a sniper rifle with him. He got into


    the car with Harry sitting in it.


    As an ace sniper, Stanley possessed extraordinary shooting skills that were well-known in the military.


    However, it was a shame that he had chosen to retire from the army back then without having much


    consideration for his own future.


    Old Master Fletcher was so furious about it and he almost shot Stanley himself, for Stanley was one of


    the few elite snipers in Bayside City who could aim and shoot his targets within three seconds.


    Stanley was very scared right at that moment. As he tugged at Harry’s arm, he asked, “Mr. Harry, Uncle


    Michael is mad at me, isn’t he?”


    He fired that shot just now because he couldn’t hold back his anger anymore. It was impossible not to let


    Phantom Wolf’s leader pay a little price for what he did since he killed so many people this time.


    Harry snorted. “Oh, so now you’re scared, huh? Why didn’t you think about the consequences when you


    shot him just now?”


    Harry, too, was frightened out of his wits just now; he almost peed his pants.


    Stanley simply kept quiet, not daring to say anything.


    The car drove away, a dead silence within it. Harry’s heart was still pounding rapidly, but he was feeling


    relieved as he had just survived a catastrophe. ncing at Stanley, who was sitting beside with his head


    lowered, Harry finally asked, “Where did you shoot him?”


    Speaking of the shot just now, Stanley, who was sad and depressed moments ago, became so excited


    that his face turned red. “I shot him in the groin. He’s not going to get to be a father for the rest of


    his life!”


    Harryplimented, “Uh… Well done.”


    Stanley thought it was really worth it firing that shot too. Seeing the leader of Phantom Wolf reminded


    him of the row of new tombstones belonging to the Fletcher Family.


    If it weren’t for thest shred of rationality that still hung on to him, he really would have killed Phantom


    Wolf’s leader on the spot. Now, he was absolutely certain that the shot he fired would leave Phantom


    Wolf’s leader infertile for his entire life, exactly like what he intended.


    Sophia was rushed to the hospital immediately. When they reached, Michael stood motionlessly outside


    the operating room, not moving a muscle as he waited there.


    Droplets of blood dotted his ck trench coat; all of those were Sophia’s blood. She looked like a broken


    and seriously damaged ragdoll lying down beside him just now. As he watched her, he wanted to hug


    her, but when he held out his arms, he retracted them again, worried that his rough hands might


    identally hurt her.


    From the video, even though Ka’s sharp de didn’t directly touch her body, it could still have caused


    great harm to her.


    Harry led Stanley, who looked dejected with his head lowered, over to the hospital.


    Stanley dared not say anything as he stood at the side, his head hanging, looking like a dog that knew it


    had made a mistake.


    Michael didn’t have the time to bother with him as he kept standing at the door. On the other hand, Harry


    had tons of phone callsing in.


    The light above the operating room was still on even after midnight. That was when Abel dashed in


    hurriedly and reported to Michael, “He went missing in Hillwood.”


    Abel wasn’t dejected for letting Phantom Wolf’s leader escape from his pursuit again, for he had


    discovered some of the man’s weaknesses during hisst failed mission. Whereas this time, he got to


    know that there was a lethal bomb on the man’s body.


    What he would do next was to begin his investigation on the man’s so-called suicide bomb device, which


    was imnted in his body. He needed to research its working principle and the ways to defuse it.


    Michael nodded at Abel, looking slightly exhausted. “You go back first and take a rest.”


    Abel took a nce at the operating room with the light still turned on and said, “Don’t forget to give me a


    call when Sophia wakes upter.”


    Then, Abel left. The hospital personnel were still operating busily in the wee hours, with Harry’s voice


    echoing through the corridors as he talked on the phone.


    Stanley kept his head lowered, not daring to say a word. Now, he was still covered in the blood


    sttered onto him when he saved Sean back then. Dried blood stains could still be seen on his face


    too.


    There were nurses bustling around, going in and out of the wards, filling the corridors with activity as


    people walked around continuously.


    This was Michael’s private hospital, which was well-equipped with reliable medical facilities and security


    systems.


    There was a moment when the corridor became empty without anyone walking around. Suddenly,


    Michael’s voice echoed through the empty corridor as he asked, “How’s Sean?”
