Anything For Her

Chapter 721 One Shot To The Head

Sophie could not resist a sneer. She's awfully confident.

“It's too soon to tell how this will go down.” Then she leaped toward the short girl, snatched the gun in her hand, and sent her to the ground with a kick before the latter could process what happened.

The other four hitmen immediately pointed their guns at Sophie, who had quickly slipped to a hiding spot without hesitation and shot one of them.

She showed no mercy against such ruthless killers. After aiming directly at her target's temple, she pulled the trigger.

After witnessing their comrade's head blown open, the other four realized their mission was not as simple as it seemed.

“Watch out! She has Jada's gun,” the man in the lead warned the others.

Jada quickly huddled up beside the other three. She gasped at the sight of John, who had died of a bullet in his head without having seen it coming.

“That was careless of us.”

Initially assuming the mission would be simple, they were unnerved by how things had turned out. The four quickly found a place to hide.

“Be careful, all of you. There is a gun in her hand, but there aren't many bullets. She'll be trapped once she runs out of them.”

Jada had never expected her gun to be snatched out of her hands.

Although she felt especially resentful at that moment, there was nothing she could do to alleviate the situation.

“I'm sorry, guys.” What was once a simple mission had turned out to be this difficult.

“It's no use crying over spilled milk. Eyes open, everyone.”

We are elite assassins. Our opponent, on the other hand, is an injured Sophie. We have the upper hand.

Sophie glanced at the chamber and, upon seeing seven bullets inside, smiled devilishly.

Seven bullets. That should suffice.

With her leg almost as good as new, her movements were no longer constrained.

“Get out there and lure her out, Jada.” Killing someone is something that has to be done quickly. Who knows what's going to happen if it drags on?

Jada nodded before running out from her hiding spot. Despite the daring maneuver, Sophie did not budge.

I'm not a fool; they're baiting me. I'll be covered in bullet holes the moment I show myself.

“Is that all you got? Why won't you dare show yourself?” Jada called when her quarry did not take the bait.

“Fool!” Sophie scoffed. After she took a quick glance around, the smile on her face widened.

She walked around to the other side. Following the sound of a gunshot to the skull, Jada was the next one to fall.

She had not taken cover in time because she had thought she could avoid it. It was a testament to how unprepared they were.

We should have seen that coming. How were we still taken unawares? Jada died, not having understood how.

The other three widened their eyes in fear. How is it possible for the two of us to have fallen less than ten minutes apart? Least of all Jada and John, who were formidable fighters. Now, two of us are dead for a mere five hundred million, one shot to the head, at that. Our reputation will be ruined if word gets out.

“What do we do now?” the other three whispered, huddled together in discussion.

“Goddammit, this woman is a sharpshooter,” the man in the lead spat, scowling.

Having overestimated the simplicity of the mission, they did not expect it to turn out that badly.

“Surround her from three sides. Don't give her any chance, or we'll be at risk.”

It was the element of surprise that aided Sophie to take out two of their own.

Tristan arrived at that moment. As soon as the car rolled to a halt, he detected the stench of blood in the air.

Tristan was no stranger to the smell of blood. His countenance grew grim when he thought of the possibility of Sophie being in trouble.

He alighted from the vehicle and immediately called Sophie. One of the assassins was drawing close when she glanced at the screen.

I can't pick up right now.

Sophie surveyed her surroundings. As she could not fight in close quarters, a gun remained her best option.

However, her opponents changed their tactics upon learning of her prodigious skill with firearms.

At the sight of all three drawing closer, Sophie bit her lip. I only managed to shoot two of them in the head by catching them off guard. They'll be much more cautious now, and it'll be harder to shoot them in the head.

Without a sound, Sophie slipped into the building next door as there were more hiding places there.
