Chapter 106 Ending Theme
Shuichi Akai pretended to be kicked and took several steps back, enduring two waves of broken glass. He then took the opportunity to lean against the wall and turn on the power switch next to him.
All the lights on the floor were turned on.
At the same time, Shuichi Akai's gaze immediately locked onto Hakuya Osamu on the second floor.
Shuichi Akai's pupils contracted—it turned out that the mysterious sniper was indeed one of Gin's men. Although the man was wearing a hat and mask, completely covered up, his figure was close to the age he had guessed. Furthermore, his neck and the back of his hands were wrapped in bandages to varying degrees, and there were some bloodstains on the bandages, which proved that this person was the mysterious sniper he had injured.
At this moment, Bai Yexiu sat on the railing, leisurely swinging his legs, looking down at Akai Shuichi as if he were sitting on a throne.
When the light was turned on, Bai Yexiu was only slightly stunned before raising his gun and shattering a piece of glass above Akai Shuichi's head.
With only a few pieces of glass remaining, Bai Yexiu mercilessly shattered them one by one as Akai Shuichi dodged, showing no regard for Gin.
Turning on the light meant losing one of his advantages, so he might as well take this opportunity to retaliate a few more times. He didn't want the glass that had been hung up to go to waste.
As a result, even Gin was affected.
That brat.
Gin glared at Byakuya, and together with Shuichi Akai, they dodged the flying shards of glass. At this moment, Shuichi Akai and Gin looked like they were on the same side, while Byakuya was the only enemy.
Vodka stood guard by the elevator door, frantically dodging the flying debris from all directions, feeling somewhat bewildered. Gin had told him not to interfere unless absolutely necessary, but this bizarre scene was completely unexpected. It seemed Cointreau wasn't just after Rye.
Recalling the often tense conversations between Cointreau and Gin, Vodka felt that this scene was not so strange after all.
All the glass was shattered, and Shuichi Akai was covered in bruises. Taking advantage of the situation, Gin punched him into the wall. Then, ignoring the sharp glass shards on Shuichi Akai's body, he grabbed his collar and pressed the muzzle of the gun hard against Shuichi Akai's forehead with his left hand.
"Looks like I won the bet, Rye."
Even in this seemingly hopeless situation, Shuichi Akai still wore a confident smile: "That's not necessarily true, Gin."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a police siren came from afar, and even Gin was slightly taken aback. He really couldn't figure out when Rye had called the police, since he hadn't even taken out his phone.
Taking advantage of Gin's distraction, Shuichi Akai broke free from Gin's grasp and created considerable distance between them. Gin then fired several shots at Akai, but Akai dodged them all, until—
His gun was out of bullets.
He was supposed to go to the safe house tonight to get new ammunition, but he received a message from Jundu halfway there, so he rushed over without even getting the ammunition.
Shuichi Akai looked at Gin with a smile on his lips. But soon, his expression suddenly turned to astonishment. He quickly covered his thigh, which had just been shot and was bleeding profusely, and then looked sharply at Shiroya, who was sitting on the railing above.
The boy sheathed the gun with a mocking look in his eyes, blew out a puff of gunpowder smoke, and casually glanced at Shuichi Akai with a hint of malice before tossing the gun to Gin, who was struggling with his problem below.
Gin reached out and caught the small, pocket-sized pistol, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly—Gin wasn't used to this type of pistol, and it took him a few moments to get used to the feel of it.
"It's good enough to have a gun, what's there to complain about?" Bai Yexiu threw a small pebble down in a huff, which hit Gin on the head.
Because it was a crucial moment in the battle, Gin didn't want to argue with Byakuya, and just glared at him fiercely.
Shuichi Akai, who had been shot in the thigh, leaned against the wall, panting, silently watching the strange interaction between Gin and the boy in front of him, his brain working at a rapid pace.
However, Gin didn't want to give Shuichi Akai any more time. After glaring at Hakuyasu, Gin pointed his gun at Shuichi Akai.
At that moment, Vodka suddenly saw the elevator icon flashing, which meant that someone had already taken the elevator up! At this time, sirens wailed around the building, and the elevator started operating, so it was easy to guess who had come up.
"Big brother!" Vodka warned, while Gin fired a bullet at Shuichi Akai.
Despite being injured, Shuichi Akai managed to dodge the bullets.
Soon, the elevator reached its floor. Vodka quickly fired, damaging the power switch. Gin, taking advantage of the darkness, fired several shots at the spot where Shuichi Akai had been standing before retreating.
A second after the floor went dark, the elevator doors opened with a ding, and several armed police officers rushed out.
"Not allowed to move!"
"..."
A profound silence reigned, and just as, a deep darkness enveloped everything.
The lead policeman was dumbfounded.
……
At this moment, Bai Yexiu and Gin were nestled in the stairwell, waiting for Vodka to return. About half a minute later, Vodka also tiptoed out of the stairwell and joined them.
As soon as they reunited, Vodka let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Vodka was the furthest from the stairwell door and was responsible for breaking the power switch, then slipping away right under the noses of the police, making him naturally the one at the greatest risk.
“Brother, could Rye have called the police beforehand? We made this decision on the spur of the moment, how would he know? Besides, he wouldn’t have had a chance to take out his phone during the fight,” Vodka voiced his doubts.
"It's the entrapment alarm button inside the elevator, that's the only possibility." Gin's voice sounded somewhat strained.
Seeing this, Bai Yexiu patted Gin on the shoulder to comfort him: "I shot him in the thigh, so he won't be able to cause us any more trouble for a while, right? Besides, he broke more than two ribs, didn't he?"
Seeing Bai Yexiu's gloating expression, Gin picked out a small shard of glass stuck in his collar: "So you're also making sure I can't cause you any trouble for a while, huh? I haven't settled the score with you for that yet..."
"It was an accident."
Bai Yexiu's tea-infused reply echoed in the corridor.
Gin raised his hand to give Bai Yexiu a sharp rap on the head, but Bai Yexiu easily dodged it and then deliberately made a face at Gin.
The group of people made their way back down the corridor amidst playful banter.
……
Several police cars had already gathered downstairs, and even a team of fully armed SWAT officers were running into the building. A middle-aged man dressed as a repairman was passionately explaining something to the lead sheriff.
"—I thought someone was trapped in the elevator so late. When I received the call for help, there was no one speaking at all, just the sounds of fighting and breaking glass. Then it went silent. I was so scared that I rushed over to check and found that the elevator wasn't broken. It turned out that people were fighting up there! If you ask the passersby, they all heard a lot of breaking glass coming from this side..."
……
In a small alley beside the building, Shuichi Akai sat alone in the dark alley, panting, one hand clutching his injured thigh, the other dialing a phone:
"James, could you come over and help me out?"
