Chapter 480: Chapter 337: The Final Victory

When Sean Knight slashed the opponent’s neck with the hooked blade, he sensed that something was wrong. Instinctively, he activated Sky Eye and found that there was a layer of soft and flexible fabric around the opponent’s neck, which the hooked blade couldn’t cut through!

However, the force of the hooked blade was strong enough to injure the opponent’s throat. The opponent reacted extremely quickly, making a powerful slash that generated a gust of wind!

Sean Knight, after all, was not Elijah Hastings. Without systematic training, he instinctively stepped back to avoid the attack, but he soon realized that this move was a mistake. He immediately raised the hooked blade and fiercely collided with the opponent’s knife!

Even though Sean’s blade was raised hastily, the force behind it exceeded the opponent’s expectations and drove their knife back a bit.

However, the opponent was extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Unable to gain the upper hand with the knife, their left hand shot out a fist towards Sean Knight!

In a hurry, Sean managed to block the punch, regretting not choosing a pistol instead of the hooked blade - especially since a silenced pistol was in his spatial realm!

The opponent raised their knife once again and attacked Sean, quickly discovering his weakness in hand-to-hand combat. Their momentum suddenly surged, and they attacked Sean with a combination of left punches, right knife slashes, and occasional kicks!

Then, they witnessed a bizarre scene!

Sean Knight suddenly loosened his grip and dropped the knife in his hand!

The opponent paid no mind to the reason. As soon as the knife left Sean’s hand, they struck down with their knife!

Then their pupils suddenly dilated!

A pistol with a silencer suddenly appeared in Sean’s hand, out of thin air!

Then, the flash of the muzzle dazzled the opponent’s eyes, and they fell to the ground unwillingly!

Sean cursedly blamed himself for his foolishness as he turned the muzzle towards the man battling Elijah Hastings and fired three shots: "Bang bang bang"!

The man never expected that his teammate would fall at the hands of a young man with apparently little combat or military experience!

So, at the moment, he was fully focused on defending against Elijah Hastings’s moves, only to end up like his accomplice, dying unwillingly right here!

Elijah Hastings let out a sigh of relief, fearfully saying,

"Boss, these two men... They’re tough! If we didn’t ambush them first and confronted them head-on, we might have been in big trouble!"

Looking at the pistol in Sean’s hand, he thought that if he had a gun in his hand at the time, things might have been resolved more easily.

Indeed, they had been too conceited.

Sean cautiously held the gun towards the two fallen men and told Elijah, "Search them and see if there’s anything that could prove their identity. Then take care of them - they should be dead."

Sky Eye could see that their hearts had stopped, but Sean had no intention of relaxing at all.

Today, he got personally involved, almost losing his life in the process. He now realized that although he had superpowers, his actual combat capabilities were far inferior compared to these skilled fighters!

In the future, it would be better not to take risks so easily!

Of course, he had to continue practicing and training harder in the future!

Having made up his mind, Sean left the rest of the work to Elijah Hastings.

However, he wasn’t idle either, as he was worried about new enemies appearing, which would have been troublesome.

Watching Elijah search the two bodies, Sean was surprised to find that they carried wallets with their identification, which was clearly visible.

Sean guessed those two must be experts in their field. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so careless - in their eyes, killing Sean Knight should be no more difficult than slaughtering a pig or a sheep.

That’s why they carried their identification with them.

But they never expected that they would die here.

Later, Elijah Hastings checked their identification information online, which confirmed this point.

Both men had retired from the U.S. Special Forces, having carried out tasks in multiple locations during their service. After their retirement, it was suspected that they had engaged in mercenary work, acting as hitmen in several high-profile unnatural celebrity deaths.

That explains it!

Elijah Hastings disposed of the two bodies in a car that same night.

Sean Knight accompanied Elijah - as backup.

No one could guarantee that a similar incident wouldn’t happen again that night.

Sean’s heart was more anxious than ever, hoping that Lincoln Harrington and his team would dispose of Brown as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, living each day on edge would not be a good way to go.

Fortunately, nothing happened until daybreak the next day.

After breakfast, Douglas Cooper called:

"Brown hasn’t left his house today, staying in a large flat in the city. There are bodyguards with him, inside and outside, and the curtains are all closed - he’s clearly on alert now."

"Then you follow your own plan," Sean said helplessly, knowing that things couldn’t be rushed.

Brown must be afraid because he didn’t receive any response from the two hitmen.

However, in the afternoon, Douglas called again to say that Brown had come out this time, but with more than a dozen bodyguards, it was unlikely that Lincoln would be able to act that day.

He just wanted to give Sean a heads-up. He had also informed Lincoln, but Lincoln didn’t pay attention.

At this moment, Lincoln was in a hotel room on the fourth floor, setting up his 98K sniper rifle by the window and slowly aiming it at a certain direction downstairs.

Truth be told, he did not like this old gun – it was much worse than the 88 sniper rifle he had used before, let alone the M99 and Type 10 Large Caliber Sniper Rifle.

But a good sniper shouldn’t be picky about weapons – on the battlefield, sometimes there’s simply no choice in the matter.

So, Lincoln was carefully adjusting the gun’s direction and support, then licked his fingers, reached out the window, and measured the wind direction and strength.

When time is sufficient, all details must be considered.

Some snipers in movies don’t care about anything, they just aim and shoot, but that is really unprofessional.

In critical moments, these details can determine whether a sniper can hit the target and accomplish the mission.

Finally, two anti-theft luxury off-road vehicles drove over, stopping at the entrance of the villa opposite.

Seven or eight bodyguards got out of the cars, surrounded Brown in the middle, and escorted him to the villa.

The front gate of the villa opened, and some people came out, even holding umbrellas, obviously prepared for a possible gunfire attack.

Brown immediately hid under an umbrella, quickly walking towards the villa.

Once he entered the villa, he would be safe.

Lincoln raised the gun, aiming at the target under the umbrella.

To shoot through the umbrella or directly at Brown’s body, Lincoln hesitated for 0.1 second.

Then, he slowly pulled the trigger without thinking!

"Boom!"

The huge gunshot echoed, and almost simultaneously, blood splattered under the umbrella. The bodyguards were in chaos, some pressing the injured man’s wound, others looking for the target, and some taking out pistols for cover.

Back in the room, Lincoln worked the bolt, chambering another bullet. He slowed his breathing, fired at the man who had fallen again, and then, without looking at the result, grabbed his gun and quickly left!
