Chapter 910: Chapter 856 Mishaps Never Come Singly

Mike’s body suddenly lost all its strength and he slumped down.

The light in his eyes began to slowly fade as he looked up at the lights on the ceiling, his mind racing with unknown thoughts.

Perhaps there was surprise, and there was regret.

The surprising thing was how someone dared to take his life, considering he hailed from the most powerful country in the world!

Today’s incident was clearly a trap set specifically for him!

And the goal was to take his life. That meant they must have known his real identity before making their move.

Yet they still went through with it...

The regret was that he had underestimated his "enemy".

He should have realized that if his side could break the rules and create chaos, then the opponent might also resort to unexpected tactics, or even take a ruthless approach!

But now it was all too late...

...

Because the bar’s lighting was dim and Mike had fallen near a wall, with a few other guys blocking Mike’s men in the fight, it was chaotic.

So nobody noticed that Mike was already dead.

The young man was very calm and, when pulling out the dagger, he hadn’t forgotten to cover the wound with Mike’s clothing to prevent blood from spattering.

His few strikes were all fatal.

So there was no need to worry about Mike not being dead.

With a skilled flick of his wrist, the dagger disappeared, and he turned to join the brawl nearby.

Mike’s men were exchanging blows with the other guys. Equally matched on the surface, they even seemed to be gaining the upper hand.

The youths appeared to be ordinary street thugs, with no real technique in fighting, relying solely on brute force.

Seeming to realize they were losing, the youths suddenly began to retreat, fighting as they backed away. Once near the bar’s entrance, they turned and fled...

Mike’s men laughed heartily at this scene, thinking they had won a great victory.

But when they found Mike lying on the ground, their faces turned as white as sheets, realizing something terrible had happened...

...

Given Mike’s sensitive identity, Yushchenko was the first to jump out and express his anger after the incident, even trying to pin the blame on his opponent.

"As everyone knows, Mike was my election consultant. And in the most critical moment of the campaign, he was attacked and killed! I suspect there is a conspiracy behind this!

Some people’s methods to win the election are too dirty, it’s despicable!" he said.

His indirect accusations made it clear whom he was referring to.

Therefore, Yanukovych was not to be outdone and immediately made a strong counterattack.

In an interview with the TV station, Yanukovych remarked:

"Many people might not know the identity of this deceased named Mike. In fact, he was an American, yet employed by Yushchenko as an election consultant.

And his death was entirely his own fault.

He got into a bar fight over jealousy, couldn’t beat the other person, and got killed.

He had it coming, so how could it possibly be related to me?

Furthermore, as far as I know, there are a lot of foreigners in Yushchenko’s election team.

I am very curious, what exactly are they trying to do?

It’s our country’s election, why is a group of foreigners involved..."

His counterattack also put Yushchenko in a tricky situation.

After all, Mike was indeed an American. Previously working behind the scenes, his identity was rarely known.

But now, after the incident revealed by Yanukovych, everyone came to a realization that Yushchenko’s so-called consultant was actually a foreigner!

This led many to speculate.

Why would Yushchenko hire a foreigner as his election consultant?

Although in recent years, both Russia and Ukraine’s citizens have tended to favor the Western faction,

when it comes to sensitive matters like elections, nobody wants foreigners involved, as it could potentially involve selling out the country’s interests!

Therefore, the impact of Yanukovych’s response on the election might slowly become apparent over time.

Besides the verbal disputes between the two, personnel from the United States Embassy in Kiev also made a statement.

Mike was nominally employed by Yushchenko on a private basis, but his real identity had official undertones!

However, even the ambassador from the United States couldn’t publicly reveal Mike’s role as a diplomat or official, only referring to him as "a member of the American people".

They could only exert pressure from this angle, urging the Kiev police to quickly investigate the true nature of this murder.

......

No matter how the people above were tearing into each other, exerting pressure,

the Kiev Police seemed unaffected by the "Group Fight to Death" case that occurred in the bar; they quickly reached a conclusion.

The matter was simple, just a straightforward case of homicidal fighting sparked by jealousy. Now the police were on the hunt for the murderer.

Only, because of the dim lighting in the bar that night and the chaotic scene when the incident took place, not many had a clear view of the assailant’s face.

Therefore, it would take some time to find relevant clues...

Given the Kiev Police’s budget and funds, they could barely afford to pay their wages, with many police cars even struggling to afford fuel!
