Chapter 81 The Mysterious Gunner
Chapter 81 The Mysterious Gunner
A young man covered in white from top to bottom came from behind the door. He seemed very calm and composed. He didn't even panic when he saw the cops.
He walked towards the cops slowly without any hesitation and after completing the police inquiry he left the hospital in a casual manner. He was the kind of person who usually were not afraid by these kinds of police formalities as if it was part of their daily routine.
"Well, is there anything wrong with that man?" On noticing Peter's facial expressions, Cassie couldn't help but ask him about the guy in white. His brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were grim which prompted Cassie to question him.
"He is the hitman," Peter said calmly. He instantaneously turned his expressions back to blank while replying to Cassie.
"What? Why didn't you say that before? I'll stop him!" Cassie hurriedly moved forward to chase him, but Peter stopped her by grabbing her arm. She was furious on hearing that the man in white was the hitman. She wanted him to get punished.
"You're no match for him! Let me do it." As soon as he finished his sentence, he ran towards the entrance of the hospital.
Peter was sure that the man was the hitman because he was too calm in front of the cops! And that was enough to raise doubt in the mind of an intelligent person. It was natural for normal person to get nervous on getting interrogated by police.
But most of all, Peter was sure that he was the assassin because of his blood scent. Although the blood scent was intangible, it did really exist. And Peter had kinda intuition towards these things, being involved in it for a good part of his life.
Dunn was an assassin, but not a famous one. That was why he was arranged to kill Bella's grandfather, who was a small potato here, not that much of a considerate person in people's eye.
Dunn treated the task with not that much of a respect. Dunn believed that he was a highly skilled assassin and should be ranked among one of TOP 100 Assassins. However, the Assassins List highlighted the assassins' finishing rate along with their strength. To be placed in the list, one should be good in both.
Although Dunn was a capable assassin, his finishing rate was really low which didn't let him enter among the elites assassins. He was too aloof and proud to conduct the assassination. He usually murdered his victims in public place which was a negative point in being a professional assassin. From NôvelDrama.Org.
"The task has been finished," Dunn said and hung up his phone while standing in the corner. As soon as he finished his call, he proceeded to leave the place. But suddenly, his expressions changed.
He found a man standing in front of him, but previously when he started his call the place was empty. So, where did he appeared from?
'Shit! Why didn't I find him before?'
Dunn wondered. his face looked terrible from the shock. He tried to recall that he really did ensure that nobody was here before. At the precise moment, Peter sneaked there silently and Dunn didn't even realize him. 'I'm definitely not a match for him!' thought Dunn anxiously.
"You can't leave from here after killing a man! Are you that naive?" Peter uttered with a sarcastic smile on his face. His body language was relaxed as if he was having lunch conversation with his friend.
"What do you want?" Dunn didn't ask who Peter was. Instead, he wanted to know about Peter's purpose. He didn't want to get involved in formalities. He just wanted to move out of the place.
"Who is your boss?" Peter smiled and continued,"Don't tell me you don't know."
"I'm sorry. I really don't know." The minute he finished his words, Dunn ran towards Peter without hesitation in order to overcome him before Peter could do or say anything else.
He had to make the first move to win Peter. Though, he was doubtful that he was not going to beat the man but he had to dare the first move to prove his strong-handedness.
Dunn was really fast and sharp. Within a blink of an eye, he took out a knife in his right hand and rushed to stab into Peter's head with all of his force.
It was a simple and straightforward move, but a really strong one.
Peter was a little surprised on realizing Dunn's intention behind his sudden movement. 'This man is much stronger than the first two assassins!'
However, he didn't dodge the attack. Instead, he reached out two fingers of his right hand and clamped the knife quickly with a force.
Dunn was in immense shock. To his surprise, he couldn't use the knife even though he tried really hard. Peter was clutching the knife tightly.
At that moment, Peter decided to take matter into his hands by making another move.
Bang!
He broke the knife in half with a sheer force!
Peter didn't stop at that. He moved to finally take control of Dunn.
He threw the broken knife forward with precise angle.
The flying knife plunged into Dunn's chest. Suddenly, with the force of the momentum, he fell on his back after loosing control of his body.
This whole process, although slow to describe, only happened within few seconds.
Dunn covered the wounded place on his belly with the hands to stop the flow of bleeding. He got really confused!
'What a terrible man! How could he do that?'
He couldn't get it.
Soon, the blood could be seen everywhere on the floor oozing out of Dunn. Covering up the wound with his hands and applying pressure on it was doing him no good.
Peter took out one piece of tissue and then looked at Dunn,"Can you tell me now?"
Dunn sneered and bit the poison in his mouth. He was ready to take his life before disclosing the name of his boss.
"Don't swallow the poison and commit suicide in front of me! It's too silly!"
Peter smiled at him with contempt and rushed to him quickly. He grabbed Dunn's mouth with his right hand while jerked his head with his left hand in order to make him eject out the poison.
Due to the force applied by Peter, Dunn spatted out the poison.
The black color blood was spreaded all over the ground, showing how severely it was corroded.
"Such a strong poison!" Peter was shocked on seeing the color of the blood. Ingested poison was strong for converting the blood into black within few seconds. He took out a silver needle quickly from the inside pocket of his jacket and started working on Dunn's injured body.
Meanwhile, Dunn couldn't help vomiting. The black poison was coming out from his system rapidly.
Dunn got really surprised, 'Oh my god! Who is he? Why is he also good at medical skills? How could he do this?'
"Now, tell me who is your boss?" Peter smiled sardonically while leaning at the side of Dunn, but suddenly, he broke Dunn's finger with his hands.
"Ahh!" Dunn screamed and looked at him with horror. "What did you do?"
He felt that his finger was fully crushed. Pain in his finger was starting to become unbearable and he was no longer able to move his finger. Combined effect of his belly wound and crushed finger was so painful that Dunn couldn't bear it anymore.
"Nothing! You just have a stronger sense of pain!" Peter sneered and said in business-like tone,"Cut the crap. I don't have much patience."
Peter started to make another move as he reached to break his second finger.
Dunn got scared. "Okay, I will tell you..."
Suddenly, Peter's face looked tensed. He kicked Dunn hard to move aside and then jumped to the other side to avoid the attack.
Bang!
Someone shot at them! Dust was flying all over the place rising from the spots where bullets had hit..
Peter was furious with all the firing that was taking place. He wanted to run to Dunn to hide him from attacker's shots.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, three bullets were shot at Peter, which were really fast. Peter was barely able to evade them.
This sequence was making him irritated. He wanted to take over the attacker. However, he had to control his anger and step back to avoid the attack because the shots were continuously fired leaving him with no time to make a move.
Peter was not the target! The mysterious gunner shot at Dunn after Peter was forced back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bullets were shot at Dunn.
Dunn got first shot on his right leg. Immediately, he fell on the ground and couldn't move to some hiding place.
Then, he got second shot on his back which was targeted to hit his heart. It was a shot of complete precision.
At the last, the gunner aimed at his brain from behind and fired the last shot.
Dunn's brain was spattered all over the place. He was completely dead. With a sound, his body fell on the ground laying limp as a log.
They were accurate shots! All marked within a period of few seconds.
"Son of a bitch!" Peter shouted and madly rushed towards Dunn to check if he could help him in any way possible.
However, Dunn was completely dead. And he couldn't do anything to revive him.
Peter was aggrieved and shocked to his core. He couldn't believe on what had just happened within a duration of few seconds.
'There are too many terrifying assassins here! When did they come to this city?
What are they going to do?
The gunner must be the master of the best gunners. With this type of shooting skill, he could be among the Top 10 Assassins!
'Why did he kill Dunn? Why was Dunn not allowed to tell me about his boss? Who is his boss? What is the conspiracy?
Did Bella's grandfather have any secrets that I don't know?'
Peter couldn't figure it out at all. He was perplexed. Somehow, he felt that some troubles were going to happen in Golden City and this was just the beginning of it.
