Chapter 408: Men in Black
Half a month later.
In the shopping mall of Maibana Street in Chicago, an aristocratic young man was going through the shops with a girl.
The youth was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, and filled with a special confidence. As for the girl, she had darker skin and a sweet and alluring countenance, bearing some resemblance to Angelina Jolie.
The appearance and aura of the two were excellent and when they were walking together. They could not help but attract the attention of passers-by.
Around the two of them, there were six or seven large men in black clothes who were covertly protecting them. From this scene, one could tell that the two young people had elevated statuses. They were either rich or noble.
Soon, under the surreptitious protection of the six bodyguards, the two walked into a cheap jewelry store.
“Jenny, what’s there to see here? If you want, I can just buy this entire shop.”
The blond young man followed the girl step by step. When he saw that the girl looked as if she had taken a liking to these trinkets, he suddenly said, “Anyway, this shopping center is under the name of my Murphy family. They are just tenants.”
The girl shook her head when she heard these words, wearing an indifferent expression. “I like these things, but it doesn’t mean I have to buy them. Do I have to get them just because I like them?”
“Of course. If there’s something I like, I must have it.”
The blond youth glowered and said rather pointedly, “I’d rather destroy what I can’t get than let others get it. This is how I, Randy Murphy, do things.”
The girl did not answer. She just glanced at the blond young man, then put down the accessories in her hand, turned away, and walked out of the store.
The blond young man quickly followed behind and while walking out, he shot a meaningful look at the bodyguard beside him.
At once, the bodyguard walked directly toward the salesperson of the shop and began to discuss the acquisition of the shop.
However, this action did not win the girl’s favor. The girl still kept a considerable distance from the blond youth and it was obvious that the two were not getting along well.
Soon, the blond young man lost his patience. As he followed the girl, he would check the time occasionally, impatience gradually showing on his face. “Jenny, how long more are you going to shop?”
“I’ve only visited three floors of the shopping mall and there are still four floors I haven’t visited yet.”
The girl called Jenny said without looking back, “Randy, if you’re tired, you can leave first. I don’t need your protection.”
The blond youth’s face instantly turned gloomy but it seemed that her family background was not inferior to his own. He could only pout in dissatisfaction but did not say anything.
However, at this moment, the blond young man seemed to notice something. He suddenly raised his head and looked forward.
He saw three white men approaching them from the dense crowd in front.
Although the three men were all white, they all had black hair and black eyes, and their features were slack with no unique characteristics.
It was as if, as long as they were placed in a crowd, they would disappear completely.
Nonetheless, at this time, their actions attracted the attention of many people because they were going against the flow of people and walking toward the blond youth.
At once, this behavior attracted the attention of the blond young man and his bodyguards.
One of the bodyguards walked to the blond young man’s side and notified in a low voice, “Master, we have a problem...”
“I’ve noticed as well.”
The blonde youth, Randy, nodded. Although he had somewhat of a domineering personality, his family education meant that he could distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, he immediately stopped and said to the girl in front of him, “Jenny, come here!”
However, the girl paid him no mind at all. She kept walking forward and quickly passed by the three men who were walking side by side, but nothing happened.
Indeed, they were moving toward him...
“You three, please stop there.”
Seeing that the three men were still approaching, the bodyguard in front subconsciously reached into his pocket and said to the three of them, “Sir, please stop...”
However, before he finished speaking, there was a quick blur before his eyes. In the next second, he only saw that one of the men had rushed in front of him at an extreme speed while the flitting shadow of a fist was approaching quickly!
This staggering speed made it difficult for one to react in time even if one was concentrating, but this bodyguard was indeed an elite among the elites. Faced with a sudden attack, he instinctively raised his arms and shielded himself, thus blocking that swift punch!
“Bang!”
Still, in the next second, this bodyguard realized that he had miscalculated... The impact that crashed into his arms was incredible. He had obviously blocked the blow, but the punch went straight through the gap between his arms and viciously landed on his face!
Suddenly, this bodyguard only felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. His head was lifted as his entire body flew backward, thrown into the air by a massive force!
By the time he crashed to the ground, this bodyguard had lost consciousness.
This scene had also attracted the attention of countless people and suddenly, the shoppers in the mall were madly scrambling everywhere.
“D*mn it!”
The other bodyguards could not refrain from uttering a curse. They started to take out their guns, trying to kill the three uninvited guests with firearms.
However, faced with opponents who had pulled out their guns, the three men only kicked off from the ground, leaping across several meters like an arrow leaving the bowstring. Each of them targeted one bodyguard. Just as the bodyguards were raising their pistols, the three men had appeared before them. Two of them stiffened their hands and, with a “whoosh”, chopped at the necks of the bodyguards before them. The third one aimed a direct kick at his target’s lower abdomen. As he was so fast, even his pants were whipping loudly through the air!
Within a second, three more bodyguards had fallen to the ground without making a sound. At this time, there were only two bodyguards surrounding the blond youth, Randy!
However, these two had already pulled out their pistols. Faced with this emergency, the two bodyguards barely hesitated. They loaded the guns, extended their arms, aimed, and pulled the trigger, all in one swift motion!
“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”
Deafening gunshots echoed directly through the entire shopping mall. Countless pedestrians had fled the place, screaming frantically, leaving a huge gap between the two parties. Thus, the guns had more space to fire.
Even so, what happened next made the two bodyguards widen their eyes.
After they fired their shots, the three men in white began to dodge the bullets with unbelievable postures. One of them contracted and bent his body as if he was twitching, causing three or four bullets to fly by his side. The other person somersaulted and avoided five or six bullets. The third simply kicked off the wall on the right, then he was racing across the wall and rushing towards the bodyguards!
“D*mn, d*mn, d*mn!”
A bodyguard cursed loudly and pulled the trigger frantically, but this was all in vain. He could only watch helplessly as the three weaved right and left through the hail of bullets, constantly getting closer to him!
“Pfft!”
In the next second, a fist smashed into his stomach. He did not know where it came from. The bodyguard’s eyes bulged involuntarily, an inhuman groan rumbled in his throat, and he fell to the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
The last bodyguard fell to the ground almost at the same time. Despite their professional military training, they could put up no resistance when faced with these three men in black as if they were kindergarten children.
At this point, all bodyguards had been dealt with, but the blond youth just stood there blankly, staring at all this...
When a large team of police officers finally arrived at the scene, the entire shopping center was empty. There were only six badly injured bodyguards and a card left on the scene.
The blond youth was missing...
One of the sheriffs put on rubber gloves and picked up the card. Only then did he see the English letters that were cut out from various magazines and pasted together on the card:
“If you want Randy Murphy to live, please prepare a hundred million in cash and deliver it to us on 1 December. The address is...”
Behind this sentence was a photo of a bridge. Obviously, this was the exchange spot selected by the kidnappers.
