Chapter 661: Chapter 635: Great Joy

The enemies that broke in are actually quite strong. From the moment of the firefight, it was clear that they’re dead accurate with their shots, basically aiming for a one-for-one exchange.

There’s no time for greetings, life or death is decided by gun skills. The garden has the advantage of local terrain, after all, it’s defense; being able to fire a moment earlier than the enemy is a significant advantage.

But the enemy’s advantage is their heavy armor, covering their entire bodies, with the face being the only exposed fatal point, and as long as the deadly spots aren’t hit, even if they take a few bullets, they can still counter-kill.

Fortunately, the people in the garden are all at peak combat status, capable of firing first and instantly taking down the enemy.

So, Gao Yi’s pressure isn’t too intense.

Seeing the enemies coming but hesitating to attack, Gao Yi became impatient and proactively approached the door, intending to counter-attack if the enemies dared not enter.

Then the enemies broke in, and at the end of the first volley of gunfire exchange, Gao Yi charged forward with a move called Iron Mountain Lean.

"You can’t get in!"

With a single move to defeat the enemy, Gao Yi wasn’t particularly pleased; this kind of thing happens too often.

The Red Wing Mercenary Corps might as well be nonsense.

"What about McCarthy, who is he?"

Gao Yi curiously asked, not expecting to get an answer, since these people weren’t too familiar with the underworld.

"Don’t know him, haven’t heard of him, probably just a well-known underworld broker capable of organizing a group temporarily, nothing more."

Coming from the national team, Yuri naturally doesn’t take those who emerged through unconventional means seriously.

Glancing outside, Yuri sneered, "They won’t attack again; no one will go for fifty percent bounty."

Gao Yi felt that he was just mediocre; he didn’t think he was particularly skilled, but seeing the large number of people hesitating outside because of his name gave him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

So this is the deterrent power of a master, this is the feeling of renowned prestige.

Outside, the people’s combat strength isn’t bad, but they’re still a ragtag bunch; these people are here for money, not to risk their lives.

Whoever steps forward dies—who’s going to spend the money they earn? Just based on this, even if the bounty was distributed according to the agreed ratio, no one would want to be the trailblazer.

Yuri said lightly, "This is a common collaboration model. McCarthy took the job and gathered some powerful mercenary groups to work. So, as long as you take him down, even if they complete the task, they can’t claim the bounty; taking him out will disperse the rest."

Gao Yi found this reasonable, but there were quite a few people outside. Forcing his way through to take down the leader seemed unlikely.

McCarthy’s position was quite far back, and more importantly, he hid himself behind a car; you could hear his voice but couldn’t see him.

Sith whispered, "Go upstairs; there will be a firing angle then, I’ll go!"

Sith turned and ran upstairs.

They were defending the lobby rather than retreating upstairs because once the enemy entered the building, it would become indoor warfare, which would be more troublesome for Gao Yi and company. Better to hold the entrance as long as possible.

Earlier, Gao Yi and the others split into two groups, one fighting from the lobby upwards, while Gao Yi came up via the outside fire escape. Now, the first wave of enemy attacks had been blocked, and no one dared rush into the door, making it inevitable that they would split to find ways to enter the building.

"The first one in gets fifty percent of the bounty, hey! What are you doing! We don’t have time!"

McCarthy was still outside shouting loudly, exposing the mercenaries’ intentions, and someone dissatisfied said, "Shut up! Stop yelling, you’re giving away our strategy to Mr. Gardener."

McCarthy might be familiar with mercenaries, but he’s not a mercenary himself and doesn’t know how to fight.

Yuri whispered, "Retreat upstairs, watch the entrances. We’re trying to buy time."

According to the usual rhythm, the next phase was just regular trash time.

Gao Yi and the others retreated to let the enemies search and attack layer by layer. They heard earlier that they only had five minutes; now three had passed, and the remaining time could just be wasted away.

No pressure, no difficulty. Unless particularly unlucky, there wouldn’t be any trouble.

"Take Little Andic to the third floor."

Yuri wasn’t purely a combatant; though he could fight, age had caught up with him.

Without a word, Yuri took Little Andic and headed straight for the elevator.

Just then, Dani suddenly said, "Try to lock all the doors after going up, prolong the enemy’s search time, create some illusions; forget five minutes, fifty wouldn’t be enough to thoroughly search this building... Wait, more people are coming. Are they enemies or reinforcements? They’re enemies!"

Dani initially sounded very confident.

Pulling out to face a mercenary group head-on wasn’t feasible, as they were outnumbered and outgunned. But stalling time in a building is fundamental for a special agent.

However, as he spoke, Dani’s tone changed, because more cars arrived, and he deduced that the newcomers were enemies because the ones already outside had neither dodged nor engaged; clearly, they weren’t reinforcements.

The cars couldn’t drive up close anymore; the newcomers started getting out, quickly gathering beside the vehicles, barely saying a word before charging toward the Compaq Building.

Gao Yi’s phone rang, Joelson called from outside.

Upon answering, he heard Joelson furiously shout, "Ben, it’s Ben! Those bastards actually allowed Ben to make a move! Uh, they’ve even brought knives?"

Ben made his move in New York, not hiring mercenaries or assassins, but sending his own people to resolve Mr. Gardener personally.

Ben’s resolve to eliminate Mr. Gardener wasn’t in doubt, and what shocked and angered Joelson was that Ben dared to wield weapons in the United States uninhibited.

Americans can fight internally, but allowing Ben on their soil is like brothers fighting over an inheritance with a neighbor helping, and this neighbor is someone generally looked down upon.

Gao Yi didn’t mind this; for something Ben couldn’t do in Japan but managed to accomplish in New York, it was quite satisfactory.

Soon, Gao Yi heard someone speaking from outside the door with a slightly odd accent.

"Mr. Gardener, your invincible combat skills are well-known; I challenge you to a duel. Would you dare To fight me to the death?"

Gao Yi was first dumbfounded, then overjoyed, his joy overflowing, his face lighting up with happiness, utterly delighted.

His mind couldn’t think of anything, already eagerly responding, "Come! You come! All of you come!"
