Chapter 7: Scheming

  Insufficient balance

  Lying on the rooftop opposite the Nan Cai restaurant, Gui Long peered through the sniper rifle's scope to watch Da Gong putting on a show in front of Gibson. What a professional set of polite phrases from a descendant of the White Russian nobility! Opening the intercom, Gui Long chuckled and greeted Da Gong: "Da Gong, what a pity for someone with your talents! If you were born before the War of Resistance, the possibility of becoming a traitor would be at least ninety percent!"

  The Grand Duke's hand on the edge of the table fiercely drew out his middle finger and waved it at Guǐ Lóng!

  At 7:30, just as the waiter was serving Gibson, Kui Long's first soft plastic bullet was fired! The waiter who was placing the steak felt a severe pain in his waist and lost his balance, putting a scalding hot steak squarely on Gibson's head. Gibson's girlfriend let out a scream, and the restaurant manager rushed over, repeatedly apologizing. A quick-thinking corporal by the pool took off his uniform to let the scalded Gibson change into it, amidst the chaos, Kui Long's second soft plastic bullet accurately hit the vase on the table, shattering glass flying everywhere, the entire restaurant was thrown into chaos!

  Gibson's mistress became the first casualty, with Kiri no longer using dum-dum bullets, a single shot opened up a small hole in her throat. The subsequent bullets sought out Gibson's position, flying in one after another. Sergeant faithfully guarded Gibson, constantly pulling him away from danger just before the bullets arrived, and the two of them leaned against the marble statue outside the restaurant, panting heavily. Sergeant carefully stuck his head out to observe: "General, it seems they're after you! Let's switch clothes, I'll lure them away, you go find reinforcements!"

  Gibson shook his head: "No use, the other side's sniper must be on the opposite building top, we don't have time to rush out. Hurry up and call Colonel Aibosen at the Marine Corps school, tell him to bring people over!"

  No sooner had the words fallen than a bullet accurately shattered the phone that was within arm's reach, and Gibson shuddered as the fragments burst forth before he could even react. At the same time, two masked men who had rushed into the restaurant door charged directly at the statue where the two were hiding, their MP5Ks spewing flames in unison, with almost no shooting interval, sweeping the statue with flying shards!

  The sergeant, hunching his neck, took advantage of the two gunmen changing magazines to pull Gibson up: "General, go out the back door! My car is there!"

  The tall and imposing corporal shielded Gibson with his body as he sprinted through the kitchen towards the back door of the restaurant, listening to the crisp gunfire of the MP5K, feeling the corporal's body trembling behind him. Gibson was choked with emotion! With such intense suppressive fire at such close range, the corporal was surely doomed, and this loyal warrior was using his own life to shield him!

  Bursting out of the narrow back door, Xia Shi pushed Gibson towards the Hummer parked at the entrance of the alley with one hand, and slammed the thin door shut with force, pinning his back against it. Fresh red blood gushed out of his mouth and nostrils: "General, go!"

  Gibson grabbed the corporal's arm: "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

  A thin iron door transmitted the fierce impact, if it wasn't for Xia Shi's huge body blocking the entrance, in a few seconds, the gunman behind would appear in front of the two. Xia Shi panted and pushed Gibson: "General, go quickly! Let me... let me die with value!!!"

  Gibson's eyes welled up with tears as he gritted his teeth and started the Hummer Jeep, although it was just a short while ago, things had come suddenly, but the black flame logo on the sleeves of the two gunmen still fell into Gibson's eyes, the more he thought about it, the angrier Gibson became, roaring: "Mack Owen, I'm not done with you!"

  Gibson had just left the alley, and the big dog that was on its last gasp suddenly jumped up and pulled open the iron door: "He... Ahhh~~~~~ Where the hell are you going?"

  Watching the big boss covering his nose with fresh blood, SB smiled awkwardly and swung the MP5K to knock on the door, but it was too enthusiastic... just as the door opened, he knocked the big boss's nose again.

  The Czar swiftly pulled out a marine from the trunk of another small truck, pinned him to the ground and started firing an MP5K wildly, then casually ripped off the fake eyebrows on the Grand Duke's face: "Time to wrap up, the police are arriving!"

  Five minutes later, the police, gendarmerie and marines arrived, and the boss of Nantsi restaurant was crying and being questioned by people from various sides. Gibson, who was furious, led the rescue team to the back alley of Nantsi restaurant as soon as he returned to the marine school, and saw the corporal lying in a pool of blood. Gibson almost vomited, his entire back was crushed, and even his internal organs were exposed. Wasn't this intimidation method commonly used by Mack Owen's mercenaries?

  Half an hour later, a large number of naval cadets and some members of the Hellfire Mercenary Corps got into a brawl in the bar. According to the bartender, it started when a lieutenant general wearing camouflage walked in and punched Colonel Mack Owen, who was drinking at the bar. Mack Owen counterattacked, then someone else intervened and was mistakenly injured, and then there were more counterattacks... In the end, the entire bar was smashed into ruins, and Colonel Mack Owen was hit on the temple with a suspected military boot during the brawl and died after being sent to the hospital!

  Fifteen days later, Brigadier General Gibson was ambushed by an RPG-7 while en route to the Pentagon to deliver a report on reducing funding for mercenary troops. Thanks to the quick thinking of his driver, Gibson narrowly escaped with his life! Although this attack was attributed to a certain international terrorist mastermind, the Gibson family has hinted in various settings that Hellfire's horsemen planned and carried out this attack!

  After being attacked, Gibson insisted on continuing to the Pentagon, where he gave a rousing speech at the Pentagon, one sentence of which was adopted as the new motto of the Marine Corps: "If this free and mighty nation needs a bunch of third-rate hoodlums to protect it, what's the point of having soldiers?"

  Hellfire was suppressed in all aspects, and after the death of Mack Owen, the powerful Hellfire mercenary corps was divided into four or five factions within half a year, and its former glory was no more!
