King's Back -
Chapter 21 The Shadow
After the screen was paused, it froze on a man wearing a black peakedcap, who was in sportswear and carrying a large travel bag.
"Notify the security guards at all the entrances that this man is verydangerous. Tell them not to say anything but just call me if they everreplace him."
"Yes, I... understand.” The security guard said in a daze, hurriedly usingthe walkie-talkie to notify the other security guards.
Jackson left a phone number, and then quickly walked out of thesecurity room.
After leaving the security room, Jackson took a walk in the real estate.There were twelve buildings in the real estate, including four shortbuildings and eight tall ones.
Jackson arrived at the six tall buildings in the real estate, took a pause,looking at the main street of the block outside to compare thelocations.
The killer must have taken the shot from the top of this building, whichwas undoubtedly the truth
Jackson took the elevator and went to the top floor.
Two residents were living here. There was a staircase to the rooftop. Theiron door at the end was supposed to be locked, but now it wasopened.
Jackson smiled playfully, walking up the stairs within only a few steps.The rooftop was very spacious. He could only see a few vents and alarge water tank at one glance.
It was quiet in a strange way.
At that time, he heard an unwilling gasp from behind a vent, which wason the edge of the roof.
"Damn it! I failed.”
The man was in sportswear with a cigarette in his mouth, and acigarette afterwards had always been his habit, especially when themission failed, which made him a little bit depressed, and he was readyto leave after smoking.
The killer felt alert when he heard the sudden footsteps.
"Who's there?"
The killer decisively took out a dagger from his backpack, turningaround and got out from behind the vent.
Jackson smiled slightly and said faintly: "Don't rush to leave, let's talk."The assassin's eyes were awe-inspiring. At first glance, Jackson wasyoung and his body was full of weaknesses, but the murderous intentemanating from this person could make others feel like they werestanding at the edge of an abyss.
Those eyes seemed to be looking at the ferocious beast.
"Are you the one who was driving just now?" the killer askedtentatively.
"Since you have seen it all through the telescope, why bother to ask.”"It's just a pity that you have wasted all of your advanced equipment.”The assassin had been very unhappy in the first place, and he was sohumiliated by Jackson that he suddenly became furious.
"You bastard, you really have the nerve to get in my way! I'll kill you!"The assassin jumped up like a dormant leopard, whose dagger wasflickering, aiming for Jackson's chest.
Jackson remained motionless. It was only until the dagger was an inchfrom his heart when he took a step back, and at the same time raisedhis right hand, exerting force on the assassin's wrist.
With a click, his wrist broke, and the dagger fell to the ground.
The series of actions were concise and effective without anyprocrastination.
And when Jackson showed his right hand, a simple ring on his fingerwas captured by the killer's eyes.
The assassin's whole body trembled violently, and even his wrist broke,he forgot to howl.
"You... are you the lord of the Dragon Palace, Jackson Owen?"
The ring in his hand and his terrifying skill despite of his young age hadreminded the assassin of the fearsome existence of that undergroundpower.
The Dragon Palace, Jackson Owen!
His power was overwhelming, sweeping through all major powers inEurope.
The four Blazing Angels and the twelve Seraphs under his commandwere all evil figures
He didn't expect that one day he would be faced with someone fromthe Dragon Palace.
Jackson frowned slightly, fixing his eyes on this person, and said, "Yes. Ididn’t expect you to have some insight. Just say it, who sent you here?"The killer took a deep breath, knowing that he could never defeat thedragon king.
As long as he dared to make any movements, Jackson would definitelycrush him.
It seemed that bad luck was inevitable today, he laughed sadly andsaid, “Dragon Palace, haha, I didn't expect you to intervene.”"However, even if it is the Dragon Palace, with us, The Shadow, you maynot be able to keep that woman as you wish."
"From now on, what you will face is nothing but endless killing, killing,hahahaha!"
The killer laughed madly. Then as if he had made up his mind, a sharplook flashed upon his face, and suddenly his body fell down softly.What?
Jackson hurriedly squeezed his chin, but it was too late. The killer hadalready bitten the poison capsule and committed suicide.
Hydrogen chloride, a highly toxic substance, only a few grams of whichcould be fatal.
Only those killers from world-class killer organizations would have thecourage to dictate themselves after the mission failed.
The Shadow......
He didn't expect this killer to come from that place.
Jackson frisked the assassin again, but did not replace any useful clues."Even The Shadow has intervened. It seems that Dolcie's safety isimminent.”
Jackson stood up, his eyes were gloomy, looking at the DolcyCorporate standing across from the river, his complexion began togrow solemn
"Seraph, it's time to do something.”
Walking out of the real estate, Jackson got in the car and drove slowlyto Dolcy Corporate.
Dolcy Corporate, 25th Floor, the President's Office.
Dolcie was checking some company information, holding a cup ofcoffee in her hand, when the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Dolcie, it's me, Logan.” Logan's voice came over the phone.
Dolcie frowned, why did this guy call again?
"Yes Logan, is there anything wrong?"
Dolcie felt a little embarrassed when she thought of what happened thelast time.
After all, leaving him there in the western restaurant was indeed a littlebit inappropriate.
"Aha, it's okay, I just want to invite you out for dinner tonight.” Logansaid on the phone.
Tonight was not as simple as just having a meal. Logan was determinedto win her heart, and he would give Dolcie a surprise.
"Sorry, I don't have much time tonight.”
The expression on Logan's face was not very pleasant, "Dolcie, I knowyou don't like me. The last incident was actually a misunderstanding. Ididn't say that I helped Jandar with the cooperation. It was your cousinwho said it and I didn’t know what to do."
"I want to communicate with you this time. After all, my Chou’s Groupstill has some power in Y City. Maybe we can cooperate in the future.”Dolcie frowned, "I also did something wrong the last time, but if youreally want to talk about cooperation, I'm still willing to go.”
"Okay, then I will sent the time and place to your phone, that's it,goodbye.”
In the private room of Stuga Hotel, Logan was looking at the beautifulscenery outside the window, but felt a pity in his heart.
If it hadn't been for the loser, Jackson Owen's intervention last time, hemight have gotten Dolcie long ago, and he wouldn't have had tobother to spend so much time like this.0000
