Chapter 1115: Chapter 1120: A Divine Shot

For Yang Yi, the allure of taking down Cupid was even greater than that of taking down Nicholas.

However, Xiao Ran was right; eliminating Nicholas was the primary goal and the greatest achievement. Furthermore, she was correct in saying that she was the best choice to be the sniper to shoot Nicholas.

Even if Cupid had the chance to kill Xiao Ran, he probably wouldn’t do it unless it was Yang Yi. The reasoning is simple: since Cupid’s sole target was Yang Yi, and any method he used to kill Xiao Ran would expose his position, he might actually choose to give up.

But the problem is that all this is just speculation. Whether Cupid is around or not, whether there is a chance to take down Nicholas, these are all just speculations.

But now that things have come to this point, is there any reason to just give up?

Yang Yi pondered for a long time, and then he finally made up his mind.

As the leader, as the core and soul of the Organization of Water, one must make the right judgment, a rational decision.

Although sometimes this decision actually goes against Yang Yi’s wishes.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Yi whispered, "I’ll take down one of the snipers. Bonnie, you’re responsible for another. Are you confident?"

Bonnie nodded and said, "Absolutely confident."

No matter the distance, as long as it’s a stationary target, Yang Yi was sure he could hit it, and on the first shot at that.

That’s why Yang Yi could only be responsible for taking down a sniper and not personally take down Nicholas, because he didn’t have the ability. His serendipitous marksmanship was only effective at close range; he couldn’t possibly shoot a distant target with a pistol.

Xiao Ran had the ability to run several tens of meters before taking a shot. Although it was very difficult, she had the opportunity to take down Nicholas.

As for Anton, his task was the most difficult because he had to follow Xiao Ran. If Cupid attacked Xiao Ran, Anton would have to take down Cupid, but resisting a sudden strike from a top assassin was nearly impossible. Therefore, Anton’s task wasn’t so much to protect Xiao Ran as it was to avenge her should Cupid kill her.

It could only be this way. Yang Yi picked up his sniper rifle and lay down on the ground. After avoiding a few branches that blocked his line of sight, he whispered, "I’m in position."

Bonnie was less than five meters away from Yang Yi. She knelt on one knee on the ground, propping her gun on a branch, and whispered, "I’m ready."

Anton nodded at Xiao Ran and waved his hand lightly. Then leading the way with Xiao Ran following, they moved through the underbrush.

Utter silence, waiting in silence.

Xiao Ran and Anton circled around; the two slowly approaching a shooting position, but they had to avoid the sightlines of two enemies, so they moved with great caution and very slowly.

Even if the enemies had thermal imaging or night vision equipment, they couldn’t detect the approach of Xiao Ran and Anton because there were enough cover objects to conceal their figures.

Finally, Xiao Ran and Anton arrived at the closest position they could get to without being detected. One more step forward and they would be discovered.

Everything was in place. Yang Yi aimed at his target. Although it had been a long time since he had shot at such a distant target with a sniper rifle, he was now fully confident that he could handle his part.

Xiao Ran needed to move and shoot, which was extremely difficult. But for her to succeed, it was crucial that Yang Yi and Bonnie took out their respective targets first.

Every step was difficult, really difficult.

In the walkie-talkie, Anton whispered, "Start the countdown, 3, 2, 1, fire!"

As Anton finished the countdown, Yang Yi fired, and his bullet accurately hit the target’s head.

Bonnie also fired, hitting her target precisely.

The shots rang out almost simultaneously, but they were indeed two shots. The first step was successfully completed.

As Yang Yi opened fire, Xiao Ran rushed out with her rifle even before hearing the gunshot.

Her eyes weren’t focused on the scope.

She could see a brightly lit area, but the places beyond the light’s reach seemed even darker. Xiao Ran clearly saw a figure standing by the shadow of a car, in an area that the light couldn’t touch.

The car door was open, and that person stood by the rear door holding something like a mobile phone to their ear.

Xiao Ran could see the person’s entire body, she stopped in her tracks and raised her gun. Just then, the sound of gunfire reached her and the person by the car immediately turned around, instinctively ducking and reaching to open the door.

Xiao Ran fired her weapon. The moment she pulled the trigger, she knew her shot would definitely hit its mark.

Xiao Ran’s instincts were right; she hit her target, even though she didn’t have time to distinguish whether it was Nicholas.

However, Xiao Ran hit her target, but the target didn’t die.

He merely staggered, the person Xiao Ran shot fell backward by the side of the car, but immediately rolled over and started crawling on the ground.

Xiao Ran immediately fired another shot.

About two hundred meters away, with the target rapidly crawling, Xiao Ran really couldn’t accurately hit the target’s head with a semi-automatic sniper rifle, so this time she aimed for the target’s pelvic area.

The bullet hit the target’s thigh, but the target also managed to crawl to the rear of the car and immediately rolled over to the side.

Anton never fired his weapon, he was always observing the surroundings.

If Cupid were here, he could take his shot.

Of course, Cupid could also choose not to shoot.

Xiao Ran no longer had a chance, her target had ducked behind the car. Even though he was shot in the leg, it wasn’t certain he would die. If he received timely medical attention, he definitely wouldn’t die.

Xiao Ran didn’t want to give up, although she really should. But the strong impulse to kill her target drove her to charge forward again, to advance and find a chance to fire from behind the car.

Just then, another gunshot sounded.

Anton immediately turned around, aiming his gun at the position from where the shot had just been fired, a place that Cupid might have used as anticipated, yet was beyond his control.

A chill went through Anton, but to his astonishment, Xiao Ran was unharmed. She ran forward several steps and then stopped, shouting, "The target is dead, but not by my hand!"

Anton aimed his gun at the position from where the shot had just been fired, and at the same time, he spoke with extreme astonishment, "He’s here."

From a thicket, a bullet that hadn’t killed Xiao Ran had instead taken down her target, if that target was Nicholas.

Utter astonishment, but Anton had already locked onto the shooter’s position. Even if the gunman wanted to run now, there was no escaping.

Anton said to Xiao Ran, "Follow me, let’s take him down!"

Xiao Ran immediately turned around, no longer looking towards the direction of the sedan, but at the location of the recent shot. Someone else had completed her mission, but who could it be?

Right then, Yang Yi’s voice came loudly through the walkie-talkie, "That person is Cupid, stay concealed, do not attack!"

After speaking urgently, Yang Yi continued in a much calmer tone, "I think Cupid’s target is Nicholas, not me, so don’t take the risk. Force him to stay put, that will be enough."
