Chapter 1263: Chapter 634: Thrilling Confrontation_2

Another adult was behind him, pointing a gun at him, and the Chinese man was also wrapped in a timer-rigged device.

These bastards.

They really stop at nothing.

He touched his headset and relayed these details to Elijah Hastings.

"Is your platoon leader over forty years old, 1.7 meters tall, with single eyelids and tiger teeth?"

"Yes."

"Then you need to watch out, they’re coming. Your platoon leader has a timer bomb strapped to him, handcuffs on his wrists, and a gun pointed at his back. However, it looks like they didn’t bring his family."

Elijah Hastings’s expression remained calm, but his clenched fists showed that his mood was not as peaceful as it appeared.

As the group arrived at the statue’s location, Elijah stepped forward to meet them.

"Remove the timer bomb from his body, and unlock his handcuffs." Elijah took out the leather bag while showing the hand grenade attached to its side.

Some were surprised, wondering how Elijah knew so precisely what that man was carrying.

"Little Jie, is that you?" The platoon leader asked in amazement.

"Captain Wang, it’s me," Elijah responded, "how are my sister-in-law and nephew?"

Captain Wang turned his head to glance at those men.

"Bring them here. Otherwise, we might as well let this thing blow us all to hell together," Elijah declared unafraid, knowing that Lincoln Harrington already had his sniper rifle set up in the car.

If anyone made the slightest movement, shots would certainly be fired!

"Give me the items!" A young man demanded viciously, "They’re ours!"

"I don’t care who the items belong to," Elijah stared at him, "bring the people over now. You give me the people, I give you the items. It’s that simple!"

"I want to see the items!" An adult stopped the young man’s shouting, realizing that Elijah was not afraid of threats.

Even though they had prepared an ambush, who could say the opponents hadn’t done the same?

"Little Jie, I appreciate your hard work," Captain Wang said.

Elijah nodded and continued to watch the adult who had spoken.

"I want to see the items first!" that man insisted firmly.

Elijah loosened his grip slightly, flicking off the fuse of the hand grenade and holding it tightly.

The young men jumped back in fright, cursing loudly.

Elijah looked at them contemptuously, holding the hand grenade in one hand while opening the package with the other to show them the scepter.

The adult seemed relieved; indeed, it was that item!

"Alright, I’ve let you see it. Now, bring the people over," Elijah, clutching both the hand grenade and the package, said, "I only have so much strength. If I really can’t hold on, I’ll stuff this hand grenade into the leather bag..."

He did not finish his sentence, but the implication was clear!

"Go, bring the people here," the adult instructed one of the youths.

"But..."

"No buts," the adult said sternly, "there’s been a change in plans!"

The girl looked helplessly at Elijah, took a few steps out, and then speaking in a language Elijah could not understand, said something into the walkie-talkie.

Pocketing the walkie-talkie, the girl sulkily moved aside.

Sean Knight watched all this, somewhat puzzled.

He understood what the adult said.

What did he mean by a change in the plan?

A few minutes later, three more people approached from a distance.

Two men and one woman.

The woman must be Captain Wang’s wife, over thirty years old, her face worn but her eyes occasionally glancing at the young Chinese man beside her—the man had a scar on his face, as if he had been hit.

But Sean’s Sky Eye was on, and he could clearly see that the man was not injured at all, and even the gun pointed at him by the man behind had its safety on.

Something was off.

The three of them approached the statue.

"Sister-in-law, Tianlei, are you both okay?" Elijah looked at the two and asked.

"We’re fine, we’re fine. Thank you so much, Little Jie!" Captain Wang’s wife looked at Elijah with gratitude and spoke.

Wang Tianlei looked at Elijah, his gaze complex.

Elijah nodded and said to the adult, "Untie them and let them go over there." He pointed towards the parking lot’s location.

The adult’s face changed.

"Hurry up, we’re on a tight schedule!" Elijah moved his fingers that were clutching the hand grenade.

At the same time, he revealed the four hand grenades hanging at his waist,

Damn it, a madman!

The adult cursed inwardly. This guy was even crazier than himself!

"Undo Wang’s restraints!"

The young men, although reluctant, had also seen those four hand grenades.

As veterans, they knew if all five grenades exploded, no one nearby would survive!

Even the artist who wanted to reach for the submachine gun ultimately got stopped by the adult.

The pin of the hand grenade had already been pulled, and even if Elijah was shot dead, there was a high chance he would drop the grenade, leading to total chaos!

Sean observed the couple on the bench and the person walking a dog were slowly heading towards the parking lot,

"Big Fly, there’s a high chance they have an ambush at the parking lot. I’ll go check it out and then tell you guys," he said,

Initially, Sean had only paid attention to the area around the sculpture, not noticing the parking lot,

Now, considering it, this was an oversight. The opponents had likely guessed they would leave through the parking lot, so how could they not set up an ambush there?

Sean took a few steps towards the parking lot, pretending to enjoy the scenery, circled around twenty to thirty meters from the parking lot, and then returned to the bench.
