Chapter 338: Chapter 345 Female Hitman

James Brown did not speak but walked directly towards Sarah Grandy, while the two people started backing away step by step, as if they were extremely afraid of James Brown.

"Stop... Don’t come any closer, or I will... I will kill her." The man’s voice trembled as he shook the rope in his hand.

James Brown sneered at such people and said, "Then go ahead and do it."

"You... Don’t think I won’t dare!" The man edged closer to Sarah Grandy, shaking the rope near her neck, but his eyes were looking outside the window.

The woman did the same, appearing panicked and her eyes also looking outside, as if she wasn’t afraid of James Brown coming in, but rather the possibility that he had brought many people with him.

Sarah Grandy, seeing the rope merely centimeters from her neck, was not the slightest bit afraid. With James Brown there, she didn’t believe she would be killed. She thought she was doomed this time, but then, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, the uncle miraculously came to save her.

During the kidnapping, she had fantasized about the formidable uncle James Brown coming to save her, but she knew James Brown didn’t even know she was kidnapped, and even if he did, how could he possibly find this place? But against all odds, James Brown had come, which was a tremendous emotional shock for Sarah Grandy. At that moment, James was like a savior, a true hero, making her look at him with heartfelt adoration.

Regarding these two people who wanted both extortion and murder, James Brown was not polite to them. With a seemingly simple step forward, his whole body glided smoothly to the man’s side like flowing water.

The man instinctively moved a bit, but just as he moved, James Brown had already struck his neck with a palm, causing the large man, over 1.8 meters tall, to fall softly to the ground like a lump of mud.

Sarah Grandy immediately cried out in excitement, admiring the uncle’s impressive demeanor and his striking appearance more and more.

"No... Don’t kill me..." The woman started to step back, her speech already stuttering.

James Brown snorted coldly and said, "If you are afraid of being killed, why were you thinking of killing someone?" Even from outside the room, he could tell this woman was extremely cruel. So even if she now showed a pitiful appearance, James Brown had no intention to let her go. He wasn’t going to kill her, but to knock her out and then hand her over to the police was preferable.

"Big brother, big brother, please let me go, I know I was wrong, please, just let me go, and I will do anything you ask, even sleep with you," the woman begged as she moved back, her face tear-stained like pear blossoms in the rain, a pitiful sight.

But James Brown’s face remained expressionless. Dealing with such an evil person, he would not be swayed by her pitiful look. He cornered the woman and, without saying anything, swung his palm towards her neck.

This woman seemed fragile and pretty, and as James Brown swung his hand, she screamed as if really frightened.

But just at that moment, the woman’s body suddenly moved very rapidly, her right hand stretching out from behind and stabbing directly towards James Brown’s chest, aiming precisely for his heart. The stabbing was swift and accurate, which would be fatal if it hit James Brown.

Such skill is definitely not something a weak woman would possess. Even trained martial artists or ordinary Green Berets wouldn’t have such agility. Her way of using the dagger was clearly intended to kill, a technique usually practiced by hitmen.

Moreover, what was most shocking was that this woman had been putting on a frightened facade, continuously pleading with James Brown. Even during the attack, her face still portrayed fear. Who would have thought such a woman could have such skills, and to strike in such a critically ill manner was utterly unexpected and hard to guard against.

James Brown indeed hadn’t expected his opponent to be a master, and not just an ordinary master. Yet James Brown, as the second in command of Hawk Squad, proved he was a seasoned Super Special Forces Soldier.

Even though he didn’t expect the woman to have such skills, as soon as her arm moved, he reacted instantly, changing direction to strike the woman’s shoulder.

James Brown’s reaction time was incredibly fast. If the woman continued to thrust forward, her arm would fall right under James Brown’s hand. Before her dagger could hit James Brown’s chest, her arm would be struck by his hand, preventing her from injuring him and resulting in her own injury.

The woman reacted extremely fast, pulling her hand back quickly, lifting the dagger and aiming it up towards James Brown’s wrist.

James Brown flipped his hand, fingers splayed, and reached for the woman’s knife-wielding wrist.

The two exchanged several moves in an instant. Although James Brown was caught off guard initially, his superior skills soon gave him the upper hand.

While Sarah Grandy was bound and gagged, she could still turn her head to see James Brown and the woman exchanging blows. She couldn’t see clearly, but she did realize the woman had a dagger, which made her anxious, holding her breath, fearing that any sound might distract James Brown and cause him injury.

Realizing she was no match for James Brown, the woman feinted with her dagger and then threw it, not at James Brown but at Sarah Grandy.

The room was just that big, and the woman was only about three meters away from Sarah Grandy. The woman’s hand was evidently strong, and the dagger turned into a streak of cold light flying towards Sarah Grandy.

Sarah Grandy did not even see her life hanging by a thread; in her eyes, it seemed like a beam of light was flying towards her.

At this moment, James Brown only needed to stretch out his hand further to capture the woman. However, doing so would definitely result in Sarah getting hurt, even possibly costing her life. So, he couldn’t do that. Without thinking, he stomped his foot fiercely on the ground, and his body surged towards Sarah Grandy like a cannonball, catching the dagger just centimeters from her chest.

"Clang..." A crisp sound came from behind, and countless shards of glass flew towards him.

James Brown had no choice but to pick up Sarah Grandy along with the chair, dodging the flying glass. When all the glass had fallen to the ground, the woman was nowhere to be seen in the room.

James Brown did not chase after her, knowing that in such a place, even if he did chase out, he definitely wouldn’t be able to catch the woman. Moreover, he was full of questions about why Sarah Grandy had been kidnapped this time.

Given the woman’s capabilities, she did not need to resort to such trivial tricks of kidnapping. There were far too many ways for her to make money. Moreover, when he appeared, the woman had thought of running away, which would have been extremely easy for her. However, she had not run away but instead kept deceiving him until the very end when she attacked.

James Brown believed that if he had been slightly careless at that moment, he might have fallen into this woman’s hands. This woman had been so calculating, making James feel that the kidnapping was entirely directed at him.

He had been on countless missions with Hawk Squad, and naturally had many enemies, but he had returned to YODC City, and only a few people knew about it. The country would definitely not divulge the details about such a key member of Hawk Squad, and it was unlikely that his enemies would find him.

But to say that the woman was just protecting herself, James absolutely did not believe it. It was definitely a conspiracy. However, who exactly wanted to strike against him, he could temporarily not figure it out.

"Sob...sob..." The sound of Sarah Grandy’s sobbing came from his chest. James then remembered that he had not yet untied her, and was quick to release Sarah Grandy from the ties and then tore off the tape from her mouth.

"Uncle! Wah..." Sarah Grandy suddenly hugged James Brown and started weeping loudly. Even if she was a mischievous girl, being kidnapped still caused her a great emotional trauma, which she finally vented now.

James patted her back but did not try to console her. Having rescued hostages a few times before, he knew that hostages often react this way, and letting her cry out was actually better for her.

After Sarah had cried for a while, James helped her to her feet and said, "Alright, there’s nothing wrong now. I have something to explain to you."

Tears still in her eyes, Sarah nodded her head slightly.

James said, "I don’t want others to know that it was me who did this. When the police arrive, just say you don’t know me."

Sarah, still a bit clueless and sniffling, asked, "Why?"

"I just don’t like dealing with the police. Now I am going to call Helen Wilson and have her handle things here. It’s enough that you and she know about this."

After the fright of today, Sarah was not as mischievous as before and obediently nodded, saying, "I’ll listen to Uncle."

"That’s my good girl." James then patted her shoulder again and took out his phone to call Helen Wilson.

Helen quickly picked up, and James went through the events here in detail with her. He also mentioned that he didn’t want others to know, a request that Helen, given her present relationship with James, inevitably respected subconsciously.

Soon, Helen Wilson left with her team. Before leaving, James had already departed. Helen took the still unconscious man away and then called Sarah Grandy’s father to pick up his daughter.

The parents of Sarah were overjoyed to see their daughter unharmed and the kidnapper captured. Not only had they found their daughter, but they also saved money.

The police officers at Helen’s station were all secretly happy. A kidnapping case was a major case, and now it had been solved effortlessly. They were surely going to receive commendations; no wonder there were rumors in the station that Helen was a talisman, bringing opportunities for recognition to anyone who worked with her.

The recognition indeed came easily now, almost as if it was picked up off the street, and bonuses and commendations were undoubtedly forthcoming.
