Chapter 267


    The man looked at Keh. There was a tinge of shock in his deep, amber eyes.


    “It''s you?” the man asked in a calm voice.


    Keh looked at him. “You know me?”


    “I met you at the hotel''s entrance!” he said.


    The corners of Keh''s lips quirked up. “You have a good memory. That''s right. It''s me!”


    “What do you want?” the man asked while ring at him.


    Keh narrowed his eyes and looked back at him. “What do you think?”


    The man continued shooting daggers at Keh and said indifferently, “Do you know you''re ying


    with fire?”


    After the man finished his sentence, Keh cocked the gun in his hand and aimed it at the man''s


    temple. “Do you believe I can kill you with just one shot?”


    The man froze for a moment upon noticing how familiar Keh was with the weapon.


    “Who are you?” the man asked. He could tell Keh was not just ordinary folk.


    Keh responded with a casual smile. “That''s not important. Now answer my questions. I might


    consider sparing your life if you answer them frankly. But if you try to be funny with me, you''re going to


    get it!”


    The man looked up at Keh with a scowl and kept mum.


    After ncing at the tattoo on his body, Keh asked, “Who are you people? Where did youe


    from?”


    “Are you from Reichen?” the person asked another question instead.


    Reichen? Keh knew that Reichen was their opponent.


    After a short pause, Keh fired a shot on the man''s thigh.


    “Sh*t!” the man cussed while pressing his thigh with his hand. “You son of a b*tch! I''ll kill you!”


    Just when he was about to move, Keh aimed the gun at his forehead.


    The man cast Keh a resentful nce but dared not move anymore.


    Keh squatted down and gave him an icy re. “I''m going to ask you some questions, and you''ll


    answer them. You hear me?”


    The man stared at Keh. He had no choice but to cooperate because he knew Keh would kill


    him. After a short moment of hesitation, he nodded.


    “Tell me who you are and where youe from,” Keh ordered.


    The man hesitated for a few seconds before answering, “We''re from Vermillion Base in Spaunia!”


    Upon hearing that, Fabian and Keh exchanged looks.


    “Vermillion Base? Howe I''ve never heard of it before?” Keh asked.


    “That''s because you''re ignorant and ill-informed!” the man sneered.


    Keh did not let the man get to him. He gazed into thetter''s eyes and continued asking, “What


    does the tattoo on your body represent?”

    “Everyone who joined Vermillion Base would have to ink this tattoo on the body. The tattoo represents


    our loyalty to the organization!”


    “Everyone who joined the organization would have this tattoo?”


    “Yes!” the man reaffirmed.


    Keh frowned and pondered for a moment. He then fished out his phone from his pocket and looked


    at one of the photos that Shadow Seeker had posted on the bounty list. Noticing there was a difference


    between the two photos she posted, he showed the man one of the photos. “How about this tattoo?”


    The man responded with a frown when he saw the tattoo. He was so astounded that he looked at


    Keh and did not know what to say.


    Looking at his stunned reaction, Keh could tell that the man knew a thing or two about the tattoo.


    “Do you want another bullet in your body?” Keh gave him a murderous look.


    “I''ll tell you what I know!” the man immediately said.


    However, before he could open his mouth, someone fired a shot in Keh''s direction.


    The gunman, who was probably standing quite a distance away, misfired the shot and missed Keh


    by an inch.


    At that moment, the man lying on the ground got up and ran for his life.


    When Keh was about to chase after him, he heard another gunshot. Fabian immediately warned,


    “Watch out, Mr. Hamilton!”


    He then lunged at Keh and protected him.


    “Are you all right, Mr. Hamilton? You''re not hurt, right?” Fabian asked in concern.


    Keh shook his head.


    He looked around and tried to find the sniper''s hideout.


    In the meantime, Fabian noticed a streak of light on the escapee. He frowned and said, “Look, Mr.


    Hamilton!”


    Fabian pointed at the man whose body emitted aser-like red light. No one would notice it unless they


    paid close attention to it.


    Upon noticing the light on his body, Keh narrowed his eyes.


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    That was a secret signal. The person in distress would emit light to request help from hisrades.


    “It looks like they came prepared,” Keh said with a smirk.


    Fabian looked at him. “So what should we do next?”


    Keh turned his attention to Fabian and said, “Let''s take it slow since we have all the important


    information we need, at least for now.”


    “So we—”


    “Let''s go!” Keh said.


    The two of them cautiously left the scene while remaining out of sight.


    They still heard random gunshots around the area. Some stray bullets even missed them by inches as


    they escaped.


    The coast was in a total mess by the time they got into the car.


    Those men had started carrying out the search operation.


    Without hesitation, Fabian started the car and they left the ce.


    After driving for some time and making sure the enemy did not catch up to them, he heaved a sigh of


    relief.


    “What a close shave, Mr. Hamilton! It''s quite a roller-coaster ride, don''t you think?” Fabian said.


    “Stop the car!” Keh eximed all of a sudden.


    “What''s wrong?” Fabian asked.


    “Stop the car!” Keh repeated.


    Fabian parked the car by the road and turned around to look at Keh. “What''s the matter, Mr.


    Hamilton?”


    “Get down!” Keh opened the car door and got out.


    Fabian was a little perplexed but still did as Keh said.


    Keh took over the steering wheel when Fabian got out of the driver''s seat.


    “Mr. Hamilton...” Fabian had no idea what was on his boss'' mind.


    “Get in!” Keh instructed him to sit on the passenger seat.


    “I-I don''t think that''s appropriate, Mr. Hamilton...” Fabian gave him a sheepish smile.


    “Get in!” Keh reiterated while adjusting the driver''s seat.


    Fabian hesitated for a moment before sitting on the passenger seat.


    Before he could fasten his safety belt, Keh had floored the elerator and sped off.


    “Mr. Hamilton, I don''t think they''ll being after us anymore...” Fabian said.


    Keh kept mum while he continued driving with a grim expression.


    Half an hourter, they arrived at a hospital.


    Fabian looked at Keh and asked, “Why are we at the hospital at this hour? Are you not feeling well,


    Mr. Hamilton?”


    Keh knitted his brows and nced at Fabian''s shoulder before narrowing his eyes.


    “Get down!” he said while opening the car door.


    Fabian frowned and got down the vehicle.


    Even after they had entered the hospital, Fabian still continued expressing his concern. “What exactly


    happened to you, Mr. Hamilton? Are you not feeling well?”


    Keh looked at him and said, “It''s not me. It''s you!”


    “Me?” Fabian still had no idea what was going on.


    Keh gestured at Fabian to look at his shoulder. Thetter followed Keh''s line of sight and


    finally realized his shoulder was bleeding. Oh, f*ck! It hurts!


    They still heerd rendom gunshots eround the eree. Some strey bullets even missed them by inches es


    they esceped.
