Although he was seriously injured enough, the male bodyguard did not die immediately. Instead, he took this opportunity to knock the woman to the ground and hugged her tightly with his arms.

The blood gushed out of her throat immediately dyed An Jie's clothes scarlet. She had to stab the bodyguard several times with a dagger to break free from the dead body. But at this time, the target had already run into the emergency evacuation passage.

But... in addition to the target and another female bodyguard, there seemed to be an ordinary spectator who was in a panic?

According to the design drawings of this underground fighting field, there are two forks in this emergency evacuation passage, one goes directly to a safe house located on the back street, and the other is a drainage pipe network connected to the underground of Linfeng Fort.

...

Ashes had just rushed into the emergency evacuation passage, a black muzzle had already pointed at him. The female bodyguard had pulled out the short gun she carried with her and pointed it straight at Ashes' head... Behind her, Ashes' mission target for this trip was anxiously searching for something in her pocket.

"Who are you! You are in the same group as that assassin!" The female bodyguard said coldly, her index finger tightly holding the trigger. With a little more force, the hammer of the flint gun would fall down immediately.

"Don't shoot! Your own people!" Ashes immediately raised his hands.

"Our own?" The female bodyguard obviously did not believe the ashes.

"I am the Iron Hand Gang! I am responsible for secretly protecting Mr. Cruper's safety. Now the assassin is outside and may rush in at any time!" Ashes said anxiously.

In order to deceive the other party's trust, he even shouted out the real name of the target.

"Then why don't I know you?" the female bodyguard continued to ask.

"If you can recognize me, can you still be considered a secret guard? Damn, don't point the gun at me! There are more than one assassin outside!" Ashes said angrily.

"More than one assassin?"

"Otherwise? How do you think they got rid of the two fire god guns on the platform? This is an assassination against Mr. Cruper, and my current mission is to ensure Mr. Cruper's personal safety!" Ash said. He did not lie. His mission was to take the living Cruper out of Xiling Street, not a corpse... If Cruper was killed by the assassin, the last assessment of Ash would be directly declared failure.

"Are you really the Iron Hand Gang?" This time, it was not the female bodyguard who spoke, but Cruper himself.

Perhaps because of the proper maintenance, Cruper, who is nearly 60 years old, looks similar to his thirties or forties. He has a face full of charm of a mature man and ochre-red pupils. His beard and hair are dark brown. He is about 1.75 meters tall and has a slightly fat body. He has a platinum ring on his right thumb... All the characteristics are exactly the same as those described in the archives. It is basically certain that this guy is Cruper.

"Yes! Mr. Cruper! Time is tight, we can't stay here anymore. I must take you to another safe house for shelter." Ashes nodded and said anxiously.

"Another safe house?"

"Yes, the safe house directly to this passage is no longer safe. We have lost contact with the brothers who stayed there. If you go there now, you may be trapped in your own trap!"

"What you said is true?" A hint of suspicion appeared on Cruper's face... Being able to avoid the pursuit of the imperial military police and escape into Xiling Street first also shows that this guy is by no means an incompetent fool, especially when it comes to his own safety, his target always seems extra cautious.

"It's true! If I were in the same group as that assassin, I wouldn't have to rush you to leave here now!"

"Um... do you think this kid is reliable?" Cruper looked at Ash and turned to ask his bodyguard.

"I can't believe him... let me know the route to another safe house. I will take the boss there, so you can stay for us to cut off the rear and stop the assassins." The female bodyguard said.

"No! You have to go there from the underground drainage pipe network. The route is very complicated. Even if I tell you, you will definitely get lost!" Ash retorted, "In my opinion, the best solution is that you stay and break the back, and I will take Mr. Cruper to the safe house."

"No way!"

"Then let me lead the way, we will leave here immediately!"

As soon as Ashes finished speaking, the fourth person had already rushed into the passage, and it was the woman named Anjie.

At this moment, her body was covered with blood and her body was filled with a strong evil spirit. She held a dagger in one hand and an axe in the other, staring at Cruper more than ten meters away.

"Grass!" Ashes cursed in a low voice, pulled out the bone needle hidden in his boots and clamped it between his fingers.

"Who sent you to kill me?" Cruper asked to the other party in a deep voice - this line is exactly the same as when the villain boss in most novels encounters an assassin.

"Impossible." An Jie's answer was concise and straightforward, and it was simply an impeccable standard answer. This made Ash wonder if these two guys were reading a script for a written script...

But Anjie did not leave them more time to think. When she said these four words, she accelerated toward Cruper, and even completely ignored the Ashes and the female bodyguard.

Ashes just waved the bone needle in his hand symbolically and immediately flashed to the side, while the female bodyguard pulled the trigger directly at An Jie!

"Bang!"

The crisp gunshot echoed in the passage, but An Jie's reaction speed was far beyond the other party's imagination. When the female bodyguard moved the muzzle, she had already begun to consciously dodge. At the moment when the other party's fingers exerted force, she even made a large twisting action to avoid the deadly projectile!

The shot failed, and the female bodyguard had no chance to fire a second shot. She had to drop the short gun, draw out the scimitar, and slash hard towards the front--

"bite!"

The scimitar and the dagger collided in an instant, and a fine spark burst out - although this one-handed scimitar with a blade length of about 35 cm is a lightweight melee weapon, the dagger is not even lightweight. Logically speaking, if the two fight head-on, the female bodyguard holding the scimitar will already have the upper hand... However, the female bodyguard actually took three steps in a row to barely eliminate the power coming from the scimitar.

An Jie's strength is much stronger than her. She can even ignore the gap in weapons between the two sides!

Taking advantage of the opponent's retreat, An Jie's hand axe in her other hand swung out quickly, leaving a very deep hole in the female bodyguard's leg. The latter immediately groaned and quickly retreated to Cruper.
