What was once glorious will one day become a sign of degradation. Zheng Xiyao couldn't help but sigh when she looked at Brand Feng Ke's hand.
Facing everyone's doubts, Feng Ke didn't panic at all, and laughed uncharacteristically. He faced Arthur with a mocking look, waved his cane, and the whole hall suddenly went into an uproar.
Zheng Xiyao found that there was a red light spot on her chest, which was the target of the laser gun. They are being treated as hostages.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Hawke suddenly hugged the panicked Zheng Xiyao, lowered his head and whispered in her ear to comfort her. Zheng Xiyao nodded. She knew that the male protagonist must have been prepared for being so calm.
[System, come out quickly! ] Zheng Xiyao hid behind Hawke and kept calling the system.
【system? 】
However, there was silence in her mind, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Zheng Xiyao looked around and found that the person who was the one who started all this was missing.
"What are you looking for?" Hawke couldn't help but ask Zheng Xiyao, who was looking around.
"Where's Lexer?"
Hawke narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced around, and finally responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry, he can't run far."
Zheng Xiyao was silent, she was still worried.
This was when Feng Ke looked like he was sure of victory and said disdainfully to them: "In the face of real strength, all your tricks are child's play."
With a lonely look on his face, Arthur shook his head at his father who was in front of him and was overwhelmed by the desire for power, without saying a word.
Hawke also looked at the old man silently, keeping secret.
Only Roger Hunter, who had just been watching a show, was walking around casually, having a glass of wine and a bite of cake.
Feng Ke raised his hand to signal the hidden sniper to prepare. Hunter lowered his head and shook the wine glass in his hand and spoke slowly: "I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible. Once you are convicted of reactionary rebellion, murder, etc., even if you were a hero, I will not be able to save you."
"You should still worry about yourself." The old man refused to listen and kept moving his hands. However, no matter how he signaled, Roger Hunter still stood there properly, sipping red wine one sip after another.
"Oh my God!"
"How is this going?"
Everyone was surprised to find that the aiming points on their bodies had disappeared, and Feng Ke's whole body was covered with aiming points, densely packed.
Zheng Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed: "How did you do it?" she asked curiously.
"You seem to have forgotten who I am."
"Ah?" Zheng Xiyao looked confused. "You are Ares Hawke, the head of the alliance..."
Yes, he is the supreme commander of the alliance, how could he not know all this. Moreover, from the beginning, Hawke told her the purpose of this wedding.
Catch that 'traitor'.
Uncover those who are swaying the federation to follow suit.
"You succeeded. Congratulations." Zheng Xiyao replied with a smile.
Hawke was startled. Although the woman in front of him was smiling and congratulating, he clearly felt that Zheng Xiyao was not happy.
At that time, the defeated old man slumped down at the table, and the soldiers who followed him put down their weapons.
Hawke and Arthur looked at each other and nodded. Arthur smiled gratefully and was about to step forward. Suddenly, Lanchester, who was standing behind Feng Ke, took out his laser gun and fired at everyone as if he was crazy.
The guests present fled away as if they had lost control. In the chaos, Hawke immediately reached out to pull Zheng Xiyao.
"Yao Yao, hold my hand..." His hand grabbed a handful of air, and Hawke discovered that Zheng Xiyao had fainted and fell to the ground.
Hawke picked up Zheng Xiyao: "Yaoyao! Yaoyao!" The man's voice called anxiously to the unconscious woman. The blood oozing from the corner of her mouth irritated Hawke.
His eyes flashed fiercely.
"Xiyao? What's wrong with her?" Roger Hunter also noticed Zheng Xiyao's condition and squatted down to ask about Hawke's situation.
Hunter stretched out his hand to test Zheng Xiyao's mouth and nose, and then breathed a sigh of relief: breathing was normal.
"Don't worry, she's fine..." Before Hunter could finish his words, Hawke handed Zheng Xiyao over to him, and he rushed towards the center of the chaos with a violent aura.
Facing Lanchester, who had already lost his mind, Hawke did not grab the dropped weapon and shot Lanchester's knees and arms without thinking. The gun was bound to hit.
He ignored others' pleas for help and walked straight towards the man groaning in pain. He kicked away the laser gun and stepped on Lanchester's injured arm.
"Ah!" The tragic cry instantly echoed throughout the hall.
Hawke did not stop moving, but instead crushed harder. He aimed at Lanchester's forehead and asked, "Are you going to die now or in ten minutes?" His words were like a devil's whisper.
Cold sweat broke out on Lanchester's forehead, and he gasped: "It's not me, I don't know, me."
The man seemed to want to say something, but was unable to do so due to the pain.
"What?" He playfully fired another shot in his ear. The frightened man kept struggling, and his blood instantly stained the floor red.
"Please, let go." Lanchester moved his hand and struggled for mercy. As if he didn't hear it, Hawke fired three shots around him. Each shot missed, but each shot was 1 centimeter away from Lanchester's skin.
Arthur next to him was shocked. He once saw the out-of-control Hawk looking like this, like a devil coming out of hell, completely losing his mind.
Just as he was about to step forward to persuade him, Hunter stopped him; "Don't interfere, he is no longer the 'Hawk' you know."
Arthur was startled, not understanding what Roger Hunter was talking about. He insisted on stepping forward, "Hoke, you can't kill him."
"What did you say?" Hawke turned back and looked at Arthur with no emotion at all.
Arthur took two steps back and remained silent. Because he felt Hawke's murderous intention. It was as if if he said one more word, he would end up like Lanchester lying on the ground.
"I told you not to mess with him." Hunter put his hand on his shoulder teasingly. Arthur opened it angrily and murmured: "What's wrong with him?"
"What's wrong? I thought it was someone." Hunter pointed out, and Arthur followed his gaze and saw Zheng Xiyao lying on the table.
"What's up with her?"
"Someone hurt her. She passed out in front of Hawke."
"No wonder." Arthur understood.
"Hmph, you don't think Hawke became like this because Yaoyao was hurt and stimulated, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"...Knowing nothing is such a blessing." Roger Hunter sighed.
Arthur ignored Hunter's weirdness and pointed at the dying Lanchester: "What should I do? Do we really want him to die here?" It was not a good thing for the head of state to torture the colonel in public.
"I can't control it." Roger Hunter spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
Lanchester's screams gradually became fainter, and it seemed that he would not survive.
Just when everything makes you think that Lanchester will definitely die, a cold voice sounds: "If you want to kill him, hurry up, he is too noisy."
