Chapter 436: 436

Chapter 436 Reaper’s Scythe

The blue Renault finally stopped outside an old manor on the outskirts of the city .

According to the intel, the estate’s former owner was a wholesale seed merchant . After going bankrupt, his wife left him, and the bank repossessed the land . In the end, having no place to go, he committed suicide in the living room . As a result, the bank failed to sell the property, and it had been left abandoned ever since .

There was no one to take care of it, and the once beautiful courtyard was now overgrown with weeds . Strangely, the sweet iris planted by the merchant when he was still alive was thriving well .

Mr . Coffee got out of the car and looked up at the sky . It was gloomy, and low, dark clouds foretold that heavy rain was around the corner . Closing the car door, he took a look around . “Is it here? It’s a good place to send him to his maker,” he said .

Picking a bulletproof vest from the back seat, Mr . Coffee put it on, then collected his Remington M870 shotgun from the trunk, along with three grenades . “Let’s give our friends a heartfelt welcome . ”

The assault team dragged two heavy machine guns from the bed of the truck and set them up on the grass outside the manor .

Once the weapons were hot, they began firing at whatever that came into their sight . Bullets poured out from the barrel, shattering glass, wooden doors . Everything unfortunate enough to be in the path of the flying shells were shredded mercilessly . The mindless shooting lasted for a full five minutes, stopping only after they had depleted their bullets .

Mr . Coffee threw two grenades at the manor before taking off this earplugs .

“Now, it looks better! Get ready to go in . ”

The assault team behind him immediately picked up their assault rifles, crouched through the broken door, and charged into the house .

It was a monumental, disheveled mess inside . Whatever valuable furniture had been moved a long time ago, leaving whatever that was left to be utterly decimated by the rain of lead . The blackened blotches on the once white walls were in no thanks to the grenades . The assault team searched room by room, but they found nothing .

“It makes no sense . Our drone saw him get into this building, and he didn’t leave after that!” said the captain while frowning .

Mr . Coffee carried the shotgun and walked to the end of the hallway . “That can only mean that there are rooms we haven’t searched

yet . ”

When the captain heard that, his mood lightened slightly, and his face relaxed . The team had searched every corner of the manor above ground, and it was almost impossible for anybody to make a move without being noticed . Hence, the only place they hadn’t searched was underground .

Immediately, Mr . Coffee spread the team out, sweeping the place again from the start . True enough, after a more comprehensive search, they managed to find an entrance to a hidden tunnel behind the fireplace . However, an unfortunate event occured whilst the secret door was bieng opened . It was a booby-trap, where an arrow launched from a crossbow, and penetrating the chest of an unlucky one .

The very untimely death of a Black Nest personnel instantly made the rest of the team very skittish . The team leader quickly sent in a second person to replace the dead man . With the help of a glow stick, he managed to take a look around . It was a small wine cellar, built by the merchant before his business went bust . It stored countless bottles of wine from all corners of the world .

The team member reported his findings to the captain, and unbeknownst to him, a dark figure suddenly emerged from behind the wine rack and fired several shots . Consequently, another Black Nest elite was killed .

At the exact moment, the other Black Nest agents poured in and began firing back at the 01 Guerillas with everything they had . After emptying their magazines, they ceased fire and walked up to the wine rack in anticipation .

Lo and behold, there was no one there

Mr . Coffee made a gesture, and two of his men entered the tunnel from the front . A small gunfight ensued as the those in the tunnel retaliated . Then, once again, yet another Black Nest member was killed and the other severely wounded .

In just a short period, Black Nest’s elite assault squad was reduced to a mere four members . Yet, despite paying such a hefty price, they hadn’t even seen the opponent’s shadow . This sorely irked Mr . Coffee, but nonetheless, he remained indifferent, appearing unaffected by the massive casualties his team suffered . “Has the drone picked up on anything?” he asked as he tossed a glow stick into the tunnel .

“No . ”

“Then, take a look around and see if there are other buildings around the manor . ”

“There is a warehouse . The tunnel leads in that direction,” answered the captain once he got confirmation .

“Leave two men to guard the entrance . The rest will come with me to the warehouse,” Mr . Coffee replied .

Vincent had trained the Black Nest team well . Upon hearing Mr . Coffee’s command, he effeciently divided the assault team into two teams . Mr . Coffee took the four people behind him, left the manor, and walked towards the warehouse in the northwest direction . Before they could make any headway, though, they came under attack again .

Instead of feeling surprised, Mr . Coffee lit up, since it meant they had been on the right track all along . And this time it was the enemies’ last stand . He could feel it from the way they were attacking . The enemy fire felt extraordinarily aggressive, as if it was their last hurrah, and they had nothing to lose .

Overwhelmed by the zealous 01, Mr . Coffee had no choice but to look for cover with his four men following closely behind .

On the other side, the lone Abu walked through a small forest . He had arrived before Mr . Coffee and got to witness the battle that had just taken place, even hearing in the entire time on the communications channel . However, he chose to remain silent .

Mr . Coffee judgment on him was correct . Abu preferred to move unrestricted as compared to face-to-face combat, finding his own secluded nest to settle in . Besides, he wasn’t a defensive sniper, constantly electing to go full offense, especially if he could land a one-shot kill .

His prey often didn’t know where the bullet came from until the very last moment of their lives .

This was also the principle that Abu adhered to-the true reaper would come when one expects it the least . No one would ever see the reaper’s face or hear his footsteps .

Abu took a look at the warehouse, mapping out several suitable sniping points in his mind . When the two men began clashing, he ran to the warehouse, nesting up in one of those spots . After setting up his weapon, the warehouse’s south window with the target beneath it came into his sights .

The weather wasn’t looking too good today .

Due to the thick clouds hovering in the sky, it was darker than usual, and way more humid . For an elite sniper like him, this wasn’t too much of a problem . 1 . 7 kilometers was no different than staring at his target in front of his eyes .

The only troublesome thing was the incoming heavy downpour .

Fortunately, raindrops falling from the sky were far slower than bullets flying through the air . Abu adjusted the scope, and now, there was nothing to stop the reaper from swinging his sickle . “It’s not your day today,” Abu murmured, gently pulling the trigger .

As the loud gunshot echoed in the air, the target in the warehouse unsurprisingly fell to the ground .

Abu let out a sigh, all the frustration in his chest of Mr . Coffee finally lifted . What happened three days ago was like a nightmare . It had been haunting him, never expecting such a horrifying demon to exist in the world .

“Anyway, there’s no way for you to defeat that demon . I will do you a favor and send you to your maker . ”

Abu kept away his gun and enabled the call function on his cellphone .

“It’s done . ”

Mr . Coffee and the others walked out of the bunker after getting confirmation that the target was eliminated . “What? I thought he was a powerful and ruthless character . Did he just die like that?” asked Mr . Coffee cynically .

Suddenly, another gunshot thundered from inside the warehouse, catching Black Nest’s team off guard . At least three members were shot, with Mr . Coffee taking one in the leg as well . He fell to the ground with a groan as bullet penetrated flesh with a sickening spatter .

Abu was shocked to see the situation, quickly looking into the scope again . It was then that he witnessed something incredible . The “corpse” that lay on the ground had been resurrected, and now, he was shooting like a madman .
