415: Chapter 415 Short-nosed Crocodile Injured 415: Chapter 415 Short-nosed Crocodile Injured “Bang, bang.” Two streaks of white light flashed past the window, followed quickly by the shattering of glass. Experienced Jeddon immediately realized these were bullets from a sniper rifle. “Whoosh.” The bullets shot straight in from the window, and the target wasn’t Jeddon or anyone from Netherworld Palace, but those men. By the time everyone reacted, the white wall behind them had been stained red with blood, as the bullets easily penetrated the heads of two men, splattering blood everywhere in a grisly scene. “Short-nosed Crocodile, there’s a sniper outside.” Jeddon grabbed a man and ducked behind the desk, while several members of Netherworld Palace also scrambled for cover. Just as Short-nosed Crocodile was about to grab another man, a bullet flew right in front of him. “Bang.” The man in front of him fell down in response, a bloody hole appearing in his temple, killed instantly in a clean shot. “Damn it.” Short-nosed Crocodile cursed under his breath. Just as he was about to grab another man, he sensed the aura of death; the next bullet’s target was unmistakably Short-nosed Crocodile. Almost instinctively, he blocked it with the dagger in his hand. Sparks flew between the bullet and the dagger. If it weren’t for Short-nosed Crocodile’s alloy dagger, he would have been in grave danger himself. But when he turned his head, that man was already lying in a pool of blood. “Jeddon, they’re trying to silence them.” Each gunshot took a life, but all the victims were from that team, while the people from Netherworld Palace were unscathed, indicating the assailants came to silence them. “What? To silence them?” The man beside Jeddon heard this and his body collapsed in fear. Their team was usually tasked with sabotaging the stock prices of rival groups. Although deceitful and ethically lacking, they never expected to be silenced like this. Now, on the brink of death, fear completely overwhelmed their minds. Fear, like excitement, can stimulate the secretion of adrenaline. In intense fear, people can do extraordinary, uncontrollable things. Suddenly, one man stood up, broke away from Jeddon, and dashed towards the door, crying out as he ran. “Bang, bang.” Two bullets were fired directly at him. Whether it was because the man was lucky or fast, the shots unexpectedly missed, flying past the back of his head and striking the white wall behind him. Before Jeddon could even catch his breath, an unexpected scene unfolded. A woman in a black bodysuit appeared at the doorway, wielding a blade, her face covered so her identity was unclear. Seeing this, the fleeing man skidded to a stop. The two made eye contact, and the man looked as if he had seen a ghost, his expression one of extreme fear as he uncontrollably stepped backwards. “It’s you...” Before the man could finish his sentence, a slash appeared on his neck. With a gentle push from the woman, the body fell to the ground with a thud. That was the last member of their team, all now silenced. “I’ll be damned.” Jeddon couldn’t help but curse, drawing a long knife from his waist. Ignoring the sniper outside, he charged forward. The woman showed no fear, blocking Jeddon’s long knife with her own blade, the two clashing without a clear victor. “I’m with you.” The Short-nosed Crocodile, upon seeing the situation, picked up two daggers and charged forward, turning the fight into a two-on-one. The woman, unable to fend off multiple attackers with her fists alone, quickly parried a few blows while looking for an opportunity to escape. “Don’t leave.” The impetuous Short-nosed Crocodile rushed forward and, in his haste, inadvertently exposed a vulnerability. The woman seized the opportunity to thrust her blade straight through the gap between the two daggers, sparks flying. The Short-nosed Crocodile frenetically waved his arms, but it was slightly too late, and the blade pierced his left arm. The Short-nosed Crocodile gasped in shock, his left hand loosening its grip and the dagger dropping to the ground. As the woman aimed to finish him off with her blade, Jeddon intervened just in time to block her. Several masters from the Netherworld Palace swarmed to protect the injured Short-nosed Crocodile, while others went to support Jeddon. The woman hastily pulled out a small iron ball and smashed it on the ground, filling the room with white smoke. She parried a few more blows before darting out the door. “Jeddon, go after her!” The Short-nosed Crocodile said resentfully. But he was gravely injured, and the woman’s blade was coated with poison, leaving him weak. “Damn, the police are here, everyone withdraw.” Just then, the sound of sirens came from downstairs, apparently attracted by the snipers. Jeddon was also reluctant, but had no choice as Ye Shikai had strictly ordered the Netherworld Palace to avoid conflicts with Huaxia police, thus he had to order a retreat. ... Yanjing, Netherworld Palace base. “You’ve botched the job,” Ye Shikai said in surprise, looking at the injured Short-nosed Crocodile, whom he remembered being seldom hurt. “I’m sorry, sir. We failed,” Jeddon said, bowing his head in embarrassment. He was one of the first to follow Ye Shikai, deeply respected him, and admired his capabilities. He had never failed a mission before—this was a first. “It’s alright. They came well-prepared, even using sniper rifles publicly. I underestimated them. Take the Short-nosed Crocodile for treatment,” Ye Shikai contemplated for a moment then spoke calmly. Although he suspected someone was targeting the Tianya Group, he hadn’t expected them to be so ruthless. At that moment, a woman in red walked over, her fair legs accentuated and a soft whip wrapped around her waist. “Ailina, what brings you here?” Ye Shikai said casually, pulling out a chair for her, and Ailina sat down. “Today, the group had a narrow escape from disaster. Miss Su is planning to host a dinner for the senior executives, as you know, I have no interest in such gatherings,” Ailina said coldly. “That’s true. Asking you to attend that kind of party is probably more painful than sending you into battle,” Ye Shikai joked. Su Qingyu had wanted him to attend as well, but he had declined. “Why didn’t you go? I heard you played a crucial role in averting disaster. What’s the point of their banquet without the hero?” “Hero, haha, whoever owns the most shares is the real hero,” Ye Shikai laughed. It was indeed he, the “minor employee,” who had averted the disaster, but it was Su Qingyu who would receive all the flattery. However, this suited him well as it allowed him to skip the banquet. “Besides, the credit mainly goes to Worm this time,” Ye Shikai said as he took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and poured for them both.
