Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 162

The sniper, Hector Creed, watched as Nathan suddenly disappeared from his shooting range. “What’s going on?” he mumbled.

Steve Zayne, the assistant who was sprawled next to Hector and observing their target with a pair of binoculars, was just as puzzled.

“Maybe they’re trying to hide because it’s about to rain,” he said while gazing through the binoculars.

“Sh*t,” Hector said irritably. “I had already aimed and would’ve fired if I were given just one more second.”

Steve Zayne said calmly, “There was a strong wind earlier; level five from the southeast. It would’ve been difficult to fix the bullet path.

“Even if you had fired, you wouldn’t have necessarily been able to kill the target in one shot. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“They’re now hiding behind the Snow White statue which they can hide from the wind at most, but not the rain.

“I guess they’ll come out from behind the statue soon. Wait patiently and finish him off with one shot.”

Hector shifted his sniper while sprawled on the ground and aimed at the surroundings of the statue. He hummed a hunter’s folksong while keeping his eyes narrowed, ready to fire at his prey the moment it appeared within his shooting range.

Having been dragged behind the Snow White statue out of the blue, Penny asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

“I think there’s someone sneaking around and spying on us,” Nathen answered calmly.

A look of worry appeared on Penny’s face as she remembered the incident of her uncle’s kidnapping from two days ago. “Could there be someone plotting something against us?”

“Don’t worry,” Nathan said. “I’ll take care of it.”

He took out his phone and gave Colin Dunne a call. “I’m at Zornorstone stone now. There’s a bit of a problem.”

Colin was shocked to hear this. “I’ll send a team over right away.”

“Keep a low profile. We don’t want to cause a stir.”

“Understood,” Colin said. “Number Three and Quinten of the National Guards’ Elite Eight are watching over your daughter from the shadows today. In fact, they’re inside Zornorstone too. I’ll send them an order to move at once. I’ll be there with a backup team shortly.”

“Alright!”

On top of the pavilion, Zornorstone’s highest point.

The two snipers, Hector and Steve, frowned while staring at the large Snow White statue through their respective gun scopes.

“What are they doing hiding behind the statue? Do you think they’ve noticed us?” Hector asked irritably.

Steve denied immediately. “That’s impossible. How could he know we’re here?”

Hector felt the guy had a point, but he was beginning to feel restless seeing that Nathan hadn’t come out after so long. “How about we change our positions?”

Just as Steve was about to respond, a cold voice rang out from behind them. “There’s no such need!”

There’s someone behind us!

Hector and Steve were completely taken aback. They were rigorously-trained mercenaries, so they had developed extremely sensitive senses and were highly alert of their surroundings.

Yet, someone had appeared behind them unnoticed!

The two snipers were beyond terrified. Without a moment of hesitation, Steve pulled out a gun from his waist and turned to the back.

Hector also aimed his sniper rifle toward the back with a low grunt.

But the moment they turned around, their necks were slashed by a dagger in a swift motion.

Blood flowed out of their throats as they flopped to the ground like two dead chickens.

The life in their eyes began to fade away as they lay on the floor.

They died with their eyes fixated on the tall Chinese man standing in front of them.

This Chinese man was none other than Quinten of Nathan’s Elite Eight.
