Hertz’s hand was about to pull the trigger from the shook of Yun Jian’s ferocity. He was an Inferno Ring assassin; while he was unranked in the international assassin and secret agent charts, he still made a name for himself globally.
Since when was an Inferno Ring killer like him ever threatened by an anonymous little girl?
If words got out about how he was threatened by a mere girl today, he was going to be made laughing stock!
Hence, Hertz’s expression was dark when he looked at Yun Jian again.
“Interesting, interesting! I didn’t expect an interesting kid like you here at this wretched place!” Hertz was in no hurry to kill Yun Jian. He cackled. His gruff voice with accurate Chinese pronunciation sent chills down the captives.
No matter how they thought about it, Hertz had killed three people—three innocent lives! That was the cold hard fact. His regard for lives was as good as none.
It draped a blanket of resistance and terror over everyone toward Hertz. As for what Yun Jian did, almost all of them were resentful about it. She had attracted these men in black’s attention over to them again.
All of them were aware of one thing for now—they were doomed!
Those men dressed in all black had guns!
No matter how skilled Yun Jian was, could she be as swift as the bullets? Dream on!
“Yun Jian’er...” Chu Ning watched Yun Jian stand up to face Hertz in worry. She was anxious but she wanted to try her luck pulling Yun Jian down so they could avoid the attention of Hertz and his men.
No one dared make a sound in the face of the firearms.
Yun Jian shuffled away from Chu Ning’s tug unnoticeably. It was about when Hertz called her “interesting” that she stepped out and stalked toward the man under Yu Luo and others’ terrified gaze.
“Hey hey, you wanted to seek death! I’m not to be blamed!” It was rare for Hertz to meet someone so interesting. Cracking his neck, he cackled before raising his pistol with a menacing smirk.
The man was taking his sweet time to kill Yun Jian because he was confident that this girl in front of him was close to no threat. When Yun Jian walked over to him, Hertz thought that while she was fascinating, there was no need to keep someone who was disobedient.
Bang!
As Yu Luo and team, Coach Xu and the youth stared in horror, Hertz fired a shot at Yun Jian. It made everyone’s heart squeeze.
When Chu Ning and the team saw Yun Jian moving toward Hertz and showing no sign of running despite being held at gunpoint, they panicked.
Hertz pulled the trigger in the next second!
When Chu Ning and team recovered from the shock, the girl shrieked in dread, “Yun Jian!”
Nothing should really happen, right? Yun Jian was so skilled... Yet, how could she be faster than a bullet no matter how swift she was?
Dead! Everyone could already picture a bullet going through Yun Jian’s head and blood splattering everywhere. They were mortified, only to see...
Hertz cackled, so sure in his expectation that he would kill Yun Jian on the spot. Pulling the trigger, the moment the bullet fired, Yun Jian instantly collapsed to the floor like a zooming racing car and avoided the shot.
As she ducked to the floor in avoiding Hertz’s shot, a twirling butterfly knife shot out from her hand.
Hertz who stood farther away had no sense of preparation and kept his guard down. By the time he realized it and scrambled, the butterfly knife had flown straight into his left eye!
“Ah!” He screamed in agony right away.
When the hostages looked over to him, all they saw was Hertz’s left eye being pierced by a butterfly knife. The eyeball erupted and blood spurted.
Everyone there, including Yu Luo and Coach Xu, were thoroughly petrified by the change of events.
She had actually... dodged the bullet!
