Chapter 1113: Chapter 1118: Why Not Dare

It’s time for it to appear, there will definitely be an opportunity, but it will also be the last opportunity.

Yang Yi was very certain that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Nicholas would be used by Cupid as bait, and as the main bait at that.

Yang Yi and Anton started to retreat quickly, Anton followed him, and the two of them returned to their original position at top speed.

Paul could hear what Yang Yi was saying, so he knew the two had come back.

But Paul didn’t ask anything, knowing Yang Yi would explain, just not right now.

What needs to be done now is just one thing—to see what arrangements Yang Yi will make.

"Cupid regards himself as bait, just like I consider myself bait. However, Cupid is a cautious person, he’s not someone willing to risk his life to complete a mission."

Anton asked in a low voice, "Why do you say that?"

"Because if Cupid was willing to sacrifice his life to take me down, he wouldn’t have waited until now."

"Alright, continue."

"Right now, I’m not focused on how Cupid plans to do it. I only know one thing—he wants to kill me. After using himself as failed bait, he needs another method to make me take a risk, and no one other than Nicholas can lure me."

After a long sigh, Yang Yi said doubtfully, "But the question is—what will he do next? If he wants to use Nicholas to lure me into a place where he has the opportunity to strike, where would that be?"

"Apparently, there’s no chance to take down Nicholas right now."

"Yeah, what kind of opportunity will Cupid create for me?"

The question-and-answer session with Anton was also a process for Yang Yi to clarify his thoughts, so although some things had been mentioned, he still had to repeat them, maybe many times.

"We have many snipers. Creating an opportunity for us to shoot would be the most appropriate time for Cupid to act, but will he think of this? I mean, might he refrain from doing so because he feels that giving me a chance to shoot would expose his intentions?"

Anton just looked helplessly at Yang Yi and said, "I don’t think so, because normal people wouldn’t think so much. Moreover, removing all his guards to let you kill Nicholas—even if Cupid wanted to do that, Nicholas himself would have to agree!"

Just then, Paul suddenly said in a deep voice, "The bulletproof car came back, and then it drove away again."

Yang Yi, visibly frustrated, tugged at his hair and said, "Back and forth, what are they planning to do?"

Paul said, "The enemy’s assault is intensifying, they are gearing up for another attack, but... the hint of a plot is too obvious, isn’t it? They don’t seem to be trying to attack us from a different direction, nor do they seem to intend to encircle us. Are they just sending men to their deaths? Why?"

Yang Yi exhaled, gunfire was becoming frequent, but honestly, the enemy’s assault was meaningless. After several snipers had blocked the route of attack, forcefully breaking through was nearly impossible unless the enemy had tanks or equipment that could accurately locate sniper positions and launch a counterattack.

Soon, the enemy’s assault was driven back again. Under normal circumstances, Nicholas’ men would either retreat or think of other ways to continue the assault, but to continue this deadlock was truly pointless, unless Nicholas deliberately intended to send his men to their deaths.

"What’s going on? I can’t figure it out..."

Yang Yi was in even more pain, and Anton felt his pain was completely unprovoked.

"What are you thinking? If there’s a chance, strike; if not, withdraw. Why hesitate? I’m not aware of any understanding between you and Cupid. In my view, it’s impossible to have any understanding with the enemy, especially the kind where ’you know what I mean and I know what you mean’—that simply cannot happen!"

Anton was not dissatisfied; he was merely expressing his opinion, but Yang Yi was suddenly invigorated and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said, if there’s a chance, strike; if not, withdraw..."

"Not that part, the part before that..."

"The part before... um, I don’t think so, Nicholas would not cooperate with Cupid, you’re thinking too..."

"Exactly, I’ve got it! I understand now!"

Yang Yi suddenly became excited and could not help but laugh, then he immediately said into the intercom, "Holy Water, where will Nicholas’s car go after it leaves?"

"Where? Can’t see, but it won’t be too far, just on the nearby streets, only we can’t see it nor can we attack it."

Yang Yi immediately said, "If I remember correctly, which I cannot possibly forget, listen, there’s a place nearby that is impossible for us to see, directly in front of us is a tall building, completely blocking the view, the sides are small buildings, but there it ends in a dead-end road, no more road ahead, if Nicholas is waiting there, he doesn’t have to worry about being attacked by us."

Paul said in a deep voice, "And then?"

"That place is very safe, because to get there you must pass by Nicholas’s people, but I know a pathway, which leads to a small hill above on the side, no, not a small hill, just a pile of garbage on high ground."

Paul was silent, then Yang Yi whispered, "Head there, this is a route that Cupid found for me, if I knew where to go, he would be waiting somewhere nearby to finish me off, but indeed, that’s also the opportunity to finish off Nicholas."

Paul, utterly perplexed, said, "Are you crazy? Even if you’re crazy, do you think Cupid is crazy too? Alright, if you two are mutually understanding lunatics, do you think Nicholas will go crazy too?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "I don’t know exactly what the situation is, but I believe Cupid knows my capabilities, so I must try."

Paul, helplessly, said, "You know it’s a trap, don’t you think it’s too risky?"

Yang Yi said gravely, "I will not take risks without eliminating all threats first, but we have to go, so I rely on you all. Leave two people to hold back the enemy from the front, and the rest come with me to take down Cupid and Nicholas."

After finishing, Yang Yi added, "Cupid thinks he can deceive me this way, but he doesn’t know that I’ve already seen through his mind, so this is a good opportunity and I don’t want to miss it."

Paul said deeply, "Stone Statue and I will come help you."

Yang Yi thought about it and said, "No, let Queen and Bonnie help me, the guns you and Stone Statue use are not as suitable as theirs."

Anton whispered, "You don’t have to go in person."

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "I must go personally; only if I go myself will Nicholas reveal a fatal but very brief vulnerability. If I don’t go, there’s no need for Nicholas to take risks, and Cupid doesn’t need to make a move personally, so I must go myself. Since Cupid dares to use himself as bait, why shouldn’t I dare?"
