The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1109: Inheritance!
In the sunlight, the broken blade danced into the air, blossoming with an unusual Cold glow.
Wearing a mask and wrapped in a black Swift suit, the attacker’s eyes were wide open.
He had never anticipated that his long-prepared lethal strike would be utterly futile.
He had clearly slashed at the opponent’s body.
Yet, the opponent was completely unharmed.
How could they be so hard?
A thought flashed through the attacker’s mind like lightning, but his hands moved with extreme speed.
Whoosh!
The remaining half of the blade in his hand flew out, thrusting straight at Jason’s left eye.
Then, the whole person retreated rapidly like an agile raccoon.
Clang!
Another crisp sound.
The heart of the retreating attacker with a somersault skipped a beat.
Could it be even the eyes...
Uncontrollably, the attacker looked up.
Then, his already wide-open eyes grew even larger.
He witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.
The blade was caught between teeth.
Jason had caught the blade with his teeth.
And then—
Crack!
The steel blade, forged in iron, shattered just like that.
The attacker’s breathing almost stopped.
How is this possible?
How could this be possible?
He had seen some agile fighters with great courage who could catch a blade or an arrow with their teeth, but that was just catching!
How could one shatter well-forged steel with their teeth?
The attacker’s worldview was as if struck by a blow, and he was involuntarily stunned.
And it was this stun that completely deprived him of any chance for survival.
Thump, thump thump!
Amidst the heartbeat that sounded like war drums.
Jason charged at the attacker like a fully powered war chariot.
Without any intention of stopping.
He collided directly with the attacker.
Boom!
At the moment of contact, Jason lowered and tilted his body, shouldered forward, aiming at the other’s torso, and then, he exerted force violently.
Splat!
Immediately, the other person was sent flying into the air like a rag doll being tossed by a charging rhino.
The body collided with Jason’s shoulder, showing a very visible indentation.
Then, a mouthful of blood mixed with innards sprayed out.
When the other person fell back to the ground, they had completely lost any signs of life.
Jason didn’t even glance at the body on the ground, instead, he grabbed his client and hid around the corner of a nearby building.
Hui Lijing’s movements were even faster.
When the attacker appeared, Hui Lijing’s intuition, honed between life and death on the battlefield, had her dragging Hu Qiandai to cover one step ahead.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
At the moment everyone took cover, bullets flew towards them, striking the ground, sparks scattering, and ricocheting wildly.
The solid concrete and steel structure served well as a shield.
Uesugi leaned against the wall, his heart pounding.
Uesugi, though middle-aged and having weathered storms ordinary people might find significant, had never experienced a situation like this one. Relying on years of habit and the Tenacity in his character, Uesugi breathed deeply, forcing himself to calm down.
"The ancestral home has a safe room; with gunshots here, the police will soon arrive," Uesugi said clearly.
But Jason shook his head.
"If they dare to shoot,"
"they must be confident."
"The attackers, having set this up in advance, couldn’t have failed to consider this," Jason said.
Uesugi’s face changed color in an instant.
He thought of a terribly bad outcome.
Bribery!
With enough money, one can sell their soul to the devil.
This saying was all too apt for the local police.
"My salary isn’t enough to take such risks," is the consensus among many police officers on the island.
Of course, there are fervent cops like Ryosuke and Urashima.
"The Uesugi Family also has its own security team, designed for such situations. Most of them are in the company and the distillery; only a few are here, and it may take them some time to arrive," Uesugi calmly informed Jason about his family’s trump card after gaining a full grasp of the situation.
This security team was also made up of family members.
Reliable and well-equipped.
They undergo live ammunition exercises three times a year as well as various combat training.
They are the greatest guarantee of the Uesugi family’s safety.
"So, I hope Mr. Jason can help me delay the time until they arrive,"
"I will provide you with the corresponding reward."
"Please."
Upon informing Jason of the trump card, Uesugi performed another ’fiery tiger descent’.
Uesugi knew very clearly that it was now a critical moment of life and death.
Nothing was as important as staying alive.
Only by living was there a possibility.
Moreover, it wasn’t just about his own life, but also his wife’s and daughter’s.
Right now, Jason was the only savior.
The scene that had just unfolded happened in an instant, but Uesugi had already witnessed Jason’s invulnerability and immense strength.
With such an assistant, even when faced with an armed gang, there was hope, right?
Jason looked at Uesugi.
His eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.
Was the other really not a ’pawn’? ƒrēenovelkiss.com
The appearance of the attackers had been too coincidental.
As if they had known in advance where they would pass by, lying in ambush to attack Hui Lijing.
The suspicion Jason had of Uesugi was somewhat diminished, yet at this moment, it soared once again.
But he didn’t act immediately.
