Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 774 Part I Want A Faithful Lover (Part One)

Mark stared ahead

with his eyes

wide open.

The moment Molly turned around, the bullet hit the glass before them and immediately the room was filled with children's screams of fear. Everything happened extremely fast. While the kidnapper pulled the trigger, the glass window was smashed from the outside.

The broken pieces of glass fell on the ground and scattered everywhere after a loud bang. Two men rushed in and fired their guns many times. Five kidnappers immediately died before they could do anything, knowing nothing about what had just happened. Also at that exact moment, Molly kicked the kidnapper next to her in the armpit. She swiftly grabbed the gun he was holding to keep him from firing it. She then held on to the gun with her left hand and kicked the kidnapper again. As the man stumbled backward, she took the gun from his hand.

On the other hand, Brian and Edgar landed on the floor at the same time. One of them was holding a pistol which had been modified into a heavy caliber. The other one was holding an assault rifle. Molly was holding the kidnapper's FNC assault rifle and pointing it to the cruel man.

Things had turned around in an instant. However, the kidnappers were still in a favorable position. Although there were three people on each side, the playing field was not level. The biggest threat turned out to be the detonator in one of the kidnappers' hands. Another kidnapper was already standing behind the teacher with his gun pointing to the bomb on her. The last kidnapper was confronting Edgar face to face.

The children were so scared that they huddled together in a corner. Among them, Mark gritted his teeth and stared at the six adults before him. His eyes were clear and wide open. In the end, he rested his gaze on Brian.

Brian was now wearing a special combat uniform of the XK Intelligence Agency. It was all black and he looked as dark as night. He was giving off a dangerous and powerful vibe while wearing that outfit. Thus, everyone who looked at him hardly dared to breathe. Mark blinked his eyes. Brian's presence somehow made him forget all his fears. The only thing playing in his mind was how Brian kicked through the glass window and jumped into the room to stop the kidnappers and rescue them. Mark couldn't help but feel proud of the brave man and for a while, he wanted to scream the fact that he was his father.

"Two more for us to finish up," sneered the kidnapper that was facing Molly. He moved his thumb towards the detonator inch by inch. He was not afraid at all. "I have never thought of leaving here alive. I have promised my leader. If I can't save my boss, Culpeo, I'll die with him." His eyes suddenly became fierce. "I won't be lonely with so many people dying together with me. It's not a bad deal, is it?"

"That is not an ordinary bomb. The blast will be so powerful that it will cause widespread damage." Molly stared at the kidnapper and was ready to pull the trigger at any moment to shoot him. "If it explodes, no one within one mile can survive."

"Good point." The kidnapper was more relaxed before Molly than he was in front of Brian and Edgar. "I shouldn't have left you here. If you're not here, I'll have a better chance to win."

What he said was right. If Molly was not here, Brian wouldn't have come. And if Brian was not here, it would have been extremely difficult for Edgar to fight alone. Besides, Molly was the one to convey the message, telling Brian about the whole situation inside the room. Brian glanced at Molly with his forehead gleaming with sweat. At the moment, what he cared about the most was not his own safety but Molly and Mark's. They wouldn't have been in danger of being killed if they didn't come back.

The kidnapper slightly moved his finger again towards the detonator and sneered, "If Culpeo can't be released, then let's die here together."

"Culpeo is just outside now," Edgar suddenly said in a cold tone. "You can detonate the bomb but we aren't the only people who will die. Culpeo will die too."

"You think I'll believe that?" The kidnapper stared at him with fierce eyes.

Edgar smiled coldly, "It's up to you."

The negotiation had come to a deadlock. Molly was so nervous that there was sweat on her back and her throat was dry. She had similar experiences before but she had never been the one to attack. After two years of intensive training, it almost became her instinct to pull out the gun when faced with danger. However, she had never pointed the gun to a real person before.

She swallowed hard as a bead of sweat streamed down her cheek. It seemed that the air in the room had become solid and time had stopped. She could even sense the speed of her sweat rolling down. Her eyes were fixed on the kidnapper as she didn't move an inch. In fact, she had never even looked at Brian or Edgar since they rushed in. However, knowing that they were with her calmed her down a bit.

"Let the children and the teacher go!" Molly suddenly spoke. "I can be your hostage and I can assure you that I'm a better hostage than any other people around here."

The kidnapper gave a snort of contempt. His thumb was almost touching the button. "You think I'll believe that?"

"She was right," said a cold baritone voice which added even more tension to the room.

Molly's heart missed a beat as she suddenly wanted to cry. The voice didn't sound cold to her at all. Instead, it sounded like music played by a violin or a song sang by angels, deep and soothing.

Her eyes turned red. How she wished she could rush into that man's arms for comfort now! But she couldn't.

Holding tightly to the gun, her eyes were fixed on the target and didn't dare to move an inch. One more attempt from the kidnapper to press the button and she would shoot him. "If I'm your hostage, you'll have a 50% chance of saving Culpeo. Otherwise, your chance is zero," Molly said firmly. "And here's another thing I want you to know. You might not have the chance to detonate the bomb."

"Oh, really?" The Kidnapper's thin mouth curled into a slightly mocking smile. His cold eyes rested first on Brian's face, then on Edgar's, and finally on Molly's. "If it's true, then why don't we give it a try?"

Brian slowly put his gun down, ignoring the kidnapper who was before him. He coldly said to the kidnapper facing Molly, "Just try it!"

As soon as he finished his words, more than ten men in the same uniform as Brian's rushed into the room. They were fast like ghosts. One of them even entered through the backdoor but no one knew how he managed to break the lock unnoticed. It was extremely quiet in the room with two sides confronting each other.

Edgar also frowned. These men in uniform were not just ordinary staffs. Sneaking into the enemy's place unnoticed was not easy to accomplish as it had been a secret military technique in most countries. Where on earth did Brian come from?

"I don't care how many people are here." The kidnapper before Molly still looked relaxed and calm. "All of you will end up in hell anyway."

Tony glanced at the kidnapper once before casually walking towards Brian. He then reported, "Mr. Brian Long, Vincent has taken Culpeo out."

His words immediately caused a chain reaction.

The kidnapper with the detonator turned to look at Tony as he tried to check if Tony was telling the truth.

With the rifle still in his hands, Edgar heard the captain's voice on his radio before he could give Tony's words any thought, "Boss, Culpeo was taken!"

Edgar suddenly frowned. Culpeo was not like the kidnappers in the room. It would be completely unpredictable how many victims there would be if he was released. It had taken the police around the world almost two years to catch him, not to mention how many undercover officers had died because of him.

"Mr. Brian Long," called Edgar in a deep voice with his eyes and gun still fixed on the kidnapper before him. "I need your explanation."

"I need to save my people." Brian's voice was deep and cold. He narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the kidnapper before Molly. "Now it's my turn to lay down conditions." His eyes darkened before he continued, "You can take Culpeo but only if you let two people go. One is her," he pointed at Molly and then at Mark, "and the other is him."

That made the leader of the kidnappers realize that the police and the army were not the most difficult to deal with. It was this man called Brian. As he aimed at saving Culpeo, it doesn't matter exactly whom Brian wanted to save and the conditions were totally negotiable. Thus, he demanded, "I need to check if Culpeo is really out there."

Brian gestured to Tony who immediately pressed on his wireless earphone and said, "Vincent, take Culpeo here."

The army and the police seemed to have lost control of the whole situation now. Edgar gritted his teeth and glanced at Brian. "Mr. Brian Long, I hope you understand what you are doing now."00000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
