Accompanied by Ren Pengfei's screams, Charming Shadow was pushed aside just in time to evade the gunfire. In an instant, she understood the situation and immediately unleashed her maximum speed, performing evasive maneuvers that left no trace. She then slipped behind a rock exposed by the receding tide.
Even her evasive actions exuded a certain allure.
During her movement, the opponent fired three shots, but none found their mark due to Charming Shadow's evasive actions.
The explosions on the beach, the splashes of water from the tide, and the shattered rocks were the results of those three shots.
At the same time, although Yang Xiaoyou was aware of the sniper's presence, after pushing Charming Shadow aside, she merely stepped to the side and stood beside Dream Butterfly without making any urgent evasive moves.
Her earlier action of pushing Charming Shadow had been obstructed by Ren Pengfei in front of her, effectively concealing herself. Although Ambusher might suspect something, they had no time to pay attention to her while keeping their eyes on Charming Shadow.
When it came to caring for the less mobile Dream Butterfly, it was best to remain steady amidst chaos.
However, even though Yang Xiaoyou did not make any sudden movements, once she got closer to Dream Butterfly and grasped her hand, her body oscillated between moments of tension and relaxation.
Yang Xiaoyou's shooting skills had already reached an extraordinary level; she assessed the gunman firing from the shadows.
Without a doubt, their skill was above average, but in terms of single-shot accuracy, there was still a gap compared to top-tier levels.
Thus, even if Yang Xiaoyou remained still, as long as she stayed vigilant, she could easily lead Dream Butterfly to safety at any moment.
Given this situation, it was evidently easier to spot targets hidden among the crowd.
"The target is locked on Charming Shadow. Anyone with a grudge against her must undoubtedly be from Revenant. They sent someone to eliminate a traitor, clearly intending to resolve this in one go. Since this gunman's skill has some flaws compared to top-tier marksmen, he likely possesses considerable or even superior achievements in close combat aspects. Hmm, there should be two to three personnel involved; those engaging in close-quarters combat must be on their way."
As the skin on his head was scraped, Ren Pengfei, with a face full of terror, screamed and dashed toward a beach chair, seeking refuge. Upon reaching the gathering crowd, Yang Xiaoyou and Heart quickly assessed the situation.
At first, when the short and stocky security guard fired his gun, the crowd had been somewhat indifferent. But now, even without a reminder, everyone understood what was happening. After a brief moment of confusion, they scattered to hide under the sunshades and beach chairs.
It seemed that these flimsy sunshades and beach chairs provided them with a sense of safety.
To avoid standing out too much, Yang Xiaoyou crouched beside a sun lounger with Dream Butterfly, quietly observing their surroundings. Unlike others who lay flat, Yang Xiaoyou appeared ready to spring into action like a predator at any moment.
The effectiveness of the initial ambush was evident; the two strikes from Mossad Captain had made that clear. Otherwise, they might not even be able to stay here now.
Although the chances of facing an opponent as formidable as the Insect Emperor's Mossad Captain were slim, a surprise attack would simplify matters. He preferred not to complicate things.
"There!" he muttered under his breath. His ears twitched as he sensed something. A glint of cruelty appeared in his eyes; if someone dared to reach for him, they should be prepared for a brutal end.
Just as his leg muscles tensed and coiled, ready to unleash maximum speed in a split second to catch the enemy off guard, he suddenly noticed that the commotion was not what he had anticipated. As he got closer, it became clear that there were not just two or three people approaching; most of them seemed to pose little threat based on their somewhat chaotic movements.
The Revenant sending people into this vacuum zone of the Chinese Empire for assassination clearly valued quality over quantity. Who were those following along aimlessly?
With this concern flashing through his mind, Yang Xiaoyou's impending explosive movement temporarily eased. He looked toward the back of the beach where a patch of artificially planted shrubs began to shake as several figures awkwardly emerged.
"Although sniping isn't my specialty," he thought, "I prepared for ten minutes to conceal my killing intent for a decisive shot, yet I didn't even manage to injure my target. Tsk. If I hand this over to Blade in perfect condition, I wonder if he can handle it." He peered through the scope at the rocky outcrop, remaining vigilant against Wolf Tooth suddenly emerging from cover. A serious expression crossed his face.
He never expected to kill his opponent with the first attack, but after deliberately suppressing and concealing himself, with the realm of Charming Shadow, he feared that only at the moment he pulled the trigger would she sense the murderous intent directed at her. By then, even if she wanted to dodge, she would at least be injured.
A 7-caliber bullet, no matter which part it grazed, would either kill or severely wound. At that point, Blade could easily complete the mission.
However, the first shot he had prepared for so long, which was supposed to be foolproof, was unexpectedly dodged by her. It seemed that Shadow of Death had made a breakthrough; could it be that Charming Shadow had done the same? Was this why they were confident enough to act separately?
Thinking this, Wolf Tooth sighed while holding his gun. It appeared that the initial plan was proving to be more difficult to execute.
With a dead fish expression, Yang Xiaoyou looked at Fia and Liu Lianyue emerging from the bushes, and his lips involuntarily twitched.
"When did these two fellows get mixed up together? Damn it, the direction they're coming from—could that villa next door be HLI Company? Was that gunfire aimed at her? Did Revenant not give up on hunting her down and happened to spot Charming Shadow, or did they discover her while pursuing Charming Shadow? And how many people came? They managed to push us back like this and still have the energy to deal with Charming Shadow!" As he watched the group of fellows emerge, Yang Xiaoyou felt a headache coming on as he began to connect their situation with theirs.
Even Weimar was missing. Whether he had encountered trouble or had taken the initiative to intercept them was clear; their opponent was formidable. Revenant was an assassin organization; how could they execute two high-difficulty missions simultaneously? It was better to lose one finger than all ten; given Revenant's own capabilities, any assassin sent out would understand that greedy actions wanting both sides could lead to losing both.
There was something strange about all of this.
It was getting late; there were likely many matters to attend to by year-end. Foreman wanted to take them to the countryside and hoped they could arrive on time without having to stay overnight. If they really had to stay overnight, they would have to cut things short.
