Chapter 1106: Chapter 70 The Fierce Kidnapper

Dense gunshots rang out, but the ones who died were not the middle-aged man; rather, it was the policemen around him. A group of fully armed thugs emerged from all corners and ambushed the lobby.

Casings flew and blood splattered as the security personnel collapsed one after another from repeated bullet hits, while the guests huddled on the ground with their heads in their hands.

The fierce gunfire lasted less than two minutes before it ended. The thugs, posing as various identities, caught the majority of the security personnel off-guard and killed them before they could react. A small bunch of police were outstanding but, unfortunately, they encountered the Conquerors, who picked them off one by one and blew their skulls apart.

The gunshots ceased, and the heavy scent of blood filled the lobby, assaulting the nostrils. However, the conflict was far from over as three waves of armed militants stood off against each other.

"Who are you people?" a bearded thug, throwing off his chef’s uniform and holding a rifle, stepped forward from the crowd and confronted the black man, Danny.

"Watch your tone, bastard!" The black man, eager to kill him, was stopped by the Red-Clothed Woman beside him.

"Dantai, have your men come out and control the scene," the Red-Clothed Woman called out to the guests, and then looked at the bearded man. "Since we all share the same goal, why not cooperate? Rest assured, we don’t want money."

This conflict truly brought everyone together. Rogers, seeing the large number of security personnel around the middle-aged man, knew it was a prime opportunity to eliminate them, and immediately ordered to open fire. For this operation, he had also hired over a dozen desperados with US dollars.

The prisoners who had escaped from Black Fox Prison needed money and decided to make a scene at the Hundred-Year Anniversary Celebration. When they heard the gunshots from Roger’s men, they thought it was their allies fighting and rushed out. The gang members recruited by Dantai had the same idea; already on edge, there was no mood to distinguish friend from foe, and the situation turned into utter chaos.

Even though none of the three waves of kidnappers were dressed in police or security uniforms, there were still over a dozen who were mistakenly injured. As for the guests who were hit, there were several dozen, with about ten severely wounded and nearly breathing their last. But at that moment, no one bothered to treat them.

"Damn it." The bearded man was furious, stepped forward, and planted his foot on the chest of a wounded policeman, pressing the muzzle of his gun against his head.

"Don’t!" The policeman’s pleas were cut off by the sound of a gunshot, and his whole skull flew out, staining the carpet with blood.

The bearded man was a hardened criminal, trafficking drugs, murdering, and committing countless evils. With at least a hundred lives on his hands, he was a boss in his own right, and he was using this method to intimidate the other two groups of thugs.

"Get six men to close the main entrance, each combat team move out according to the plan and block all floors and exits," the bearded man took the walkie-talkie from his subordinate and started to command in an orderly fashion.

"There’s no need for the surveillance room; my people should have taken it over," Danny stated, disliking the bearded man’s cocky attitude.

"Hmph, I don’t trust that," boasted the bearded man, emboldened by greater numbers. He didn’t know that if the Red-Clothed Woman hadn’t held Danny back, he would have already lost his head.

"Dantai, what are you waiting for? Come out now," the Red-Clothed Woman didn’t want to expose Anna in her police uniform, so even when she saw the few police-uniformed guys from the Warhammer team, she refrained from calling out.

Noticing the Red-Clothed Woman’s gaze, the guests all looked in the same direction, and spotted Dantai in waiter’s clothing.

"Cough cough, hold this for me," Dantai handed the tray he was holding to the man beside him.

The man dared not refuse, caught it, and even managed a smile, fearful of upsetting the other man and being killed.

"Thank you!" Dantai took a goblet, swirling the champagne inside and walked calmly towards the Red-Clothed Woman.

The guests made way for him, creating a clear path as Dantai’s distinguished manner and appearance attracted everyone’s attention far more than the bearded man or Danny could, capturing the gaze of all present in an instant.

"Men on the left, women on the right, move it," the bearded man bellowed loudly, envious of Dantai stealing the spotlight and trying to intimidate the guests.

Under the threat of firearms, it took less than a minute for everyone to be clearly divided into two groups.

"Now, take off your clothes, then squat down " nothing is allowed to be kept," the bearded man got greedy and made another demand, aiming to prevent the guests from hiding weapons.

The guests were in an uproar, especially the women, who were trembling with fear.

"Hurry up, in one minute, anyone who is still clothed, I’ll kill them, strip them naked, and throw them in front of the hotel," the bearded man fired a few shots, making an example of a man by blowing his head off to terrify the others.

The men started to comply, whereas the women hesitated and glanced at each other; some were close to tears.

In less than a minute, most of the men had stripped and squatted down, with Tang Zheng and Xu Liangmao being the exceptions.

"Do you want to die?" The bearded man enjoyed the pleasure of the torture. He then glanced towards the women. "You lot, go over there and rip off their clothes."

The thugs who were called out laughed as they advanced.

The female singer suddenly let out a piercing scream, as several thugs were harassing her. She had a look of sheer terror on her face and no escape.

"Huh, she’s so pretty." The thugs whistled unabashedly, one of them grabbing her arm, dragging her to Black Beard’s side.

"Hehe, not bad," Black Beard glared viciously at the dozen or so men who hadn’t taken off their clothes, "You want to die?"

"Enough, you have no class!" Tang Zheng kicked over a guest in front of him and stepped forward.

"Kill him," roared Black Beard. But no sooner had he given the order than a dozen bullets entered his body, mangling his skull.

The female singer screamed as blood splattered from Black Beard’s body onto her face.

The members of the Warhammer team all came out with guns in their hands.

"Next time you talk to our group leader, remember to be polite." Teng Yuangxiang pushed past the guests, striding past proudly, "Oops, I forgot, there won’t be a next time."

The guests watched as a handsome police supervisor suddenly turned into a thug, struggling to wrap their minds around it, wondering if this man was one of the good guys. They dismissed the notion in the very next moment.

"Kill them all." Tang Zheng waved his hand, and the Conquerors opened fire, beginning the annihilation of the prisoners.

Without their leader and facing the powerful firepower of the opposition, the thugs fell apart. A few in the back turned to run, only to be met with bullets from the fifth floor, drilling precisely into the backs of their heads. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen corpses were spread out.

The shooters were An Fei and Lin Jing, both of whom had activated their abilities and were part of the Shooting series, perfectly complementing the Warhammer team’s long-range attack capabilities.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the fright," said Tang Zheng as he took a paper towel from Yu Manli and wiped the fresh blood from his police uniform.

No one responded, all waiting for what would come next.

The female singer, seeing the cold-faced Teng Yuangxiang walk past her and giving her a chilling glance, was so frightened that she wet herself and then collapsed onto the ground.

"Dantai, leave this to you," Tang Zheng’s gaze swept over the dead girl and then landed on the old man in the suit. The old man had moved at some unknown time, squatting beside her. After closing her eyes, he was wiping the footprints from her face with a tissue, "If you don’t mind, let’s have a cup of tea together, shall we?"

"No need, I’ve seen enough. It’s time to end all this," the old man took the girl in his arms, his gaze sweeping across the lobby with a tone of sorrow, "I gave you ten years, but all you did was indulge in pleasure, living better for yourselves, without making the City of God worthy of its name. I’m so disappointed. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for this city to exist anymore. Today, I’ll erase it!"

Every guest present was influential in politics and business. Hearing the mayor’s words, they frowned but did not believe.

"You must be insane. How could you possibly destroy this city all by yourself?" shouted a wealthy man, unconcerned as he had a trump card to get out of the hotel.

"Hmph, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few demon subordinates," the old man said with contempt, "Have you not forgotten about the urban drainage system renovation and cleaning project I oversaw? Right now, beneath your feet, the drainage pipes connect to the fuel pipelines, flowing with gasoline, and each node is filled with explosives, enough to burn down the entire city."

The guests’ complexions changed drastically. Several bigwigs exchanged glances to determine their next move. Today’s events were a scandal and had to be covered up.

"Are you willing to give your life for her?" the old man looked at the middle-aged man.

"I am," the middle-aged man said faintly, his eyes resolute.

"Good." The old man snapped his fingers, and a spark hit the middle-aged man’s forehead. A halo immediately appeared above the man’s head, and then a massive flame, like liquid, poured down, engulfing his entire body.

In less than three seconds, a demonic knight appeared, a skeleton clad with a flaming skull, nearly frightening the guests out of their wits.

"Kill that old man," Tang Zheng roared. He had originally planned to draw the old man away, but it was clear the latter had chosen to perish together, and this man might well be the final boss.

"Kill everyone!" The words shouted by several powerful figures were even more ruthless than Tang Zheng’s. Even though they were attending the Hundred-Year Anniversary Celebration, they had bodyguards posing as guests by their side. Upon receiving orders, they lunged forward.

If a lawyer like Federer could get his hands on a demon pill, not to mention these top tycoons. As the bodyguards pounced, their bodies swelled, growing to three meters tall and transforming into demons.

Some guests had yet to get away when the demon bodyguards charged over. With sweeping arms, they sent them flying, and one unfortunate woman was grabbed by the arm and used as a human flesh wolf-tooth club to strike down others.

The woman’s evening gown was torn, her right foot striking a man, causing an instant fracture, her high-heels flying off as well.
