Chapter 64: Attack!

Swish————

Several black cars drove in an orderly fashion toward the outskirts of Tokyo.

The occupants of these vehicles were none other than the police officers dispatched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to escort Narumi Asai's family members out of Tokyo. They did not seem to take this mission very seriously.

Because this mission was issued with extreme secrecy, aside from a covert record kept within the police database, no one else knew about it.

Their colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department assumed they were merely on routine patrol and were unaware of the specific details of the operation. Members of the terrorist organization that had previously attacked the Asai family were even less likely to know their whereabouts.

Inside the vehicles, the members of the Asai family looked somewhat nervously at the plainclothes officers beside them.

They still had vivid memories of what had happened a few nights ago.

Those individuals dressed in black had pulled out firearms and opened fire on them directly, and most of the secret police officers responsible for their protection had been killed or seriously wounded. Now that these plainclothes officers were being so careless, would something go wrong?

The scenery outside the car windows began to look increasingly unfamiliar.

The Asai family finally came to the clear realization that they had left the urban area of Tokyo, left the densely populated crowds, and were heading toward another city, where they would start a new life in an unfamiliar place.

Yet how all of this had come to pass, and why, remained somewhat hazy to them.

They only vaguely guessed that it might be connected to Narumi Asai, the adopted son who had already severed ties with the Asai family.

Swoosh————

A pair of binoculars was suddenly pulled out from a bag.

Through the lenses of the binoculars, the full silhouettes of the several black cars gradually came into focus, and the appearances of the passengers also came into view.

"Is it the target?" asked a peripheral member of the Black Organization.

"Yes," replied the peripheral member in charge of observation.

Yesterday, the spy planted by the Black Organization inside the Metropolitan Police Department had already sent back the intelligence.

The Asai family, whose previous attack had failed, would be escorted out of Tokyo today by police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department. Both the timing and the route were extremely clear and precise; all they needed to do was wait for the right moment to strike.

Originally, the Asai family did not have such a high priority in the eyes of the Black Organization.

However, after the attack on the Asai family was intercepted by Public Security, Gin grew increasingly convinced that there was something wrong with the Asai family. Otherwise, why would Japanese Public Security protect no other family except the Asais? Why had Rye also appeared at the scene?

Therefore, after obtaining higher clearance from Rum, Gin directly deployed two squads of peripheral members to eliminate the Asai family as they prepared to leave Tokyo today.

Had Gin not currently been tied up preparing matters for the Tokyo National Stadium, he would have handled this personally to ensure that every single member of the Asai family died today!

"Calibrate the scope's accuracy, I'll give you the exact coordinates shortly," said the observing peripheral member.

"Prepare for sniping————"

The sniping peripheral member made a final adjustment to the rifle scope, and then trained the sniper rifle on the moving black vehicle in the distance, aiming directly at the driver————

Yet, the sniper never received the command to fire.

He raised his head and looked at the observer.

The observer remained frozen in his original posture for a moment, and then toppled straight backward.

His body hit the ground.

It was only at this moment that the sniper saw a bullet hole cleanly piercing the observer's forehead.

Brain matter mixed with blood flowed across the ground.

————He had been sniped.

"How is that possible...?"

The sniper's eyes widened in horror.

Subconsciously, he judged the direction from which the bullet had flown, grabbed his sniper rifle, and violently swung the barrel around. The force was so great that the gun stock dragged across the ground, but he did not care.

He only wanted to know one answer.

Then, the sniper saw the answer.

In the distance reflected through the sniper scope, a black motorcycle sat stationary.

And standing right beside the black motorcycle was a young man draped in a black trench coat.

For the sake of sniping convenience, the young man was not wearing his signature dark sunglasses, revealing his full appearance to the members of the Black Organization for the very first time————the visage of an exceedingly young man.

Sharp, hawk-like eyes, and an aura that inexplicably struck terror into the heart.

Half-man, half-ghost, the greatest marksman alive.

"Yan————"

The sniper only had time to utter a single syllable.

A bullet pierced right through his forehead.

That single syllable, "Yan," was transmitted without error through the communicator on the sniper's waist into the communication channel for the Black Organization's current operation, startling the peripheral members lying in ambush on both sides of the road.

Some names didn't need to be spoken in full; just a single beginning was enough to let everyone know who had arrived.

Without a doubt, it was Yan Shuangying!

The Asai family truly had a connection to Yan Shuangying, to the extent that when the Asai family was being escorted out of Tokyo by the Metropolitan Police Department, Yan Shuangying had actually come to escort them in person!

They... had already entered Yan Shuangying's hunting list!

The numerous peripheral members exchanged glances. Looking at the several black cars still some distance away from the designated ambush point, they clenched their teeth and decided to launch a direct assault————to fail the mission meant death, and being killed by Yan Shuangying also meant death.

If they all swarmed them together, they could complete the mission and then scatter in all directions to flee.

Even if Yan Shuangying was half-man, half-ghost and a legendary marksman reborn, it was impossible for him to kill every single peripheral member fleeing in all directions; some people were bound to survive!

But if they simply abandoned the mission and ran away on their own, Gin, who held all their families' personal information, would definitely hunt them down personally, sending them and their entire families to their graves and burning everything to ashes in a sea of fire!

Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat————

Submachine guns opened fire.

The ambushing peripheral members stood up simultaneously, gripping the submachine guns in their hands and opening fire directly at the oncoming vehicles. The muzzle flashes of the submachine guns were not very obvious in broad daylight, yet they were terrifyingly lethal!

Bullet after bullet slammed toward the escort vehicles.

The driver of the lead escort vehicle took a direct hit and died on the spot. The vehicle instantly lost control and slid forward, while the police officer in the passenger seat ducked low and desperately grabbed the steering wheel, jerking it hard.

The entire car skidded sideways, blocking the middle of the road.

The officer who had grabbed the steering wheel was struck by bullets and killed instantly.

The rest of the officers immediately bailed out of their cars to return fire, while the vehicles behind were forced to a halt by the blockade ahead.

All the police officers immediately got out. A portion of them protected the Asai family as they retreated backward, shielding them from any threat posed by the attackers, while one particular officer among them made a rather unusual movement.

However, that police officer's hand suddenly froze.

Because he saw a black motorcycle approaching from afar, drawing closer by the second!

Just as he had anticipated, Yan Shuangying had indeed kept his promise and arrived!
