Chapter 545 The Duel On Mount YS (Part Two)
Peter had been sitting, wide awake, on his bed through the entire night. Yet, he had not come up with a solution. Suddenly, his train of thought had be disrupted by the knock at the door. He could not help but react with such an angry roar to be left alone. But hearing Anne's voice, he was curious.
Kevin had specifically told him not to let Anne in on the duel until it was over. How could he let her know now?
In any case, there was no way to stop him at this point since Anne was here, so far away from him.
Feeling defeated, Peter opened the door after taking a deep, steadying breath. He was met by Anne's anxious gaze.
"Peter, what on earth has happened? Has something happened to Kevin?" Anne asked without wasting any time on niceties.
He really had no choice but to play his part well right now. He put his hand to his forehead as if exasperated. He asked, "Ms. Anne. How could you even think something has gone awry with Kevin? Kevin is safely in A City. What could have happened to him?"
This rhetoric, somewhat mocking question made Anne become speechless. A City was under Kevin's control and he had much influence there. Even if Kim and Kevin had got into an altercation, the latter would not be easily defeated.
Now that she really thought about it, she realized she had let paranoia get the better of her.
A breath of relief escaped her lips, and trying to recompose herself, she awkwardly ran her fingers through her hair and said, "It's lunchtime. Come downstairs and eat. Don't starve yourself."
"I'm not hungry." Peter shook his head and closed the door again.
As she stood in front of the closed door, her face twitched with irritation. But she still wondered what he was trying to hide.
Sneering at the scene, Brandon addressed Anne, "See? He doesn't appreciate your kindness in the least bit."
After finishing his poke at her, he went back to the table for lunch. With a scowl, Anne went back to eating her food in silence.
Meanwhile in his room, Peter was indeed in a terrible mood. Only something involving Kevin could make him so restless, what else?
No matter how hard Anne tried to figure out what was happening, she just could not do it. She felt depressed because of the whole situation. If Peter didn't want to tell her, he would not say anything even if she forced him.
Time passed painstakingly slowly. The evening finally came.
Elsewhere, things were reaching a boiling point on Mount YS.
Mount YS formed part of a large mountain range, and was one of the steepest sloping mountains. It was surrounded by a thicket of wild bush and trees. Although there were no dangerous wildlife around that area, the mountain itself still had an eery feel to it.
It was quite creepy as there were no passersby usually.
Of course, this lack of people bustling around made it the opportune place for criminals to go about their business. Last year alone, two corpses were found on the mountain - and no one had been able to solve the mystery of it.
Due to the extreme altitude of the peak, one had a good, open view from the top. But due to the shrubbery adorning the landscape, there were more than ample places for people to hide themselves from view.
Therefore, how could anyone really know how many threats were around in these wild parts?
On the cliff, Kim and Kevin stood. Both of them had black windbreakers on. They looked similar due to their height as well. What really set them apart was the look on their respective faces: Kevin was determined and Kim was murderous.
As the two stood there, it was easy to make out who was the hero and who was the villain.
Kim looked Kevin up and down with a vindictive smile and shook his head slightly. "Kevin, should I admire your courage or ridicule your stupidity? If you agree to this duel with me, you are courting death!"
Kevin smiled wryly. "Kim, don't be so overconfident. People sometimes lose their lives when they think too much of themselves!"
Was he talking about himself?
Kim didn't think anything of his words. "In that case, I'll show what a true marksman is today."
As for shooting, no one ever dared to claim the title as the best at it while Kim was still around.
Kevin frowned and paid close attention to Kim. From this point on, he couldn't afford to be absent minded.
Kim was right about one thing. If he chose to duel him based purely on his marksman skills, he was highly likely to come out second best.
But who said he was going to rely on his skill? NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
With a wicked smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Kevin drew his gun first. Before he could even load his gun, he saw flashes of Kim's rapid movement. Before he knew it, a bullet was hurtling at full speed towards his heart.
As if he hadn't noticed Kim's move, Kevin proceeded to take his time, aim and shoot directly at Kim's head.
Kim's face suddenly changed to alertness and he swiftly moved out of harm's way. They were using ordinary guns, so as long as they were fast with their reflexes, they could kill the other party.
But Kevin stood there unperturbed. The bullet hit his heart, right on target, but instead of piercing through him, it fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Kim smiled mockingly. "No wonder you are so confident. It turns out that you are wearing a bulletproof vest."
Narrowing his eyes to ensure proper aim, Kim raised his pistol and pointed it directly at Kevin's head. "Well, let's see you dodge this one then!"
As he said the words, he simultaneously pulled the trigger, giving Kevin practically no time to react. But Kevin was fast on his feet. He covered his head, dodged to the side and began retreating.
While this was happening, innumerable gunshots were being fired from all around.
Kim and Kevin looked at each other with hatred. Although they both had agreed to a one-on-one duel, they both had planned on breaking that agreement. Many men surrounded, lurking stealthily in the bushes.
The gunshots were going off like fireworks. There were so many that it sounded like one continuous noise, and no individual shots could be heard due to the sheer volume. The two men stood in the middle, amid the hail of gunfire.
Kim had not worn a bulletproof vest so all he could do was ensure he dodged the bullets as best as he could. Kevin flew at Kim, noticing his vulnerability. But Kim's foot connected hard with Kevin's shoulder as he went in for a solid kick.
Kevin groaned in agony. The two men began a brawl, as if there were no gunshots wildly being fired around them. Although they had agreed to a gun duel, it had come to a fist fight!
They both had hatred bottled up for each other for such a long time. This was finally an opportunity to vent every ill feeling they had for each other!
