Chapter 52 Li Wei is ambushed
"Damn it, Gris! It's all your fault, you old bastard!"
Arafat managed to return fire with a short shot while being mowed down by heavy machine gun fire, but was almost immediately pushed back by bullets flying overhead.
Even his PKM was sent flying, soaring over his head, crashing into the pool, and becoming scrap metal.
Gris, who had been scolded, clung to an M1 Garand, pressed against the edge of the pool, showing no sign of admitting his mistake.
"Damn it! How can you blame me entirely? If you were beaten up by several men all night and for most of the morning, could you have swallowed your anger without firing a single shot before leaving?"
"Stop fucking arguing! Figure out how to shoot down that damn heavy machine gun! Go back and you two fight it out one-on-one! Let the winner decide who's right!"
Antonio raised his SKS, attempting to test the waters with "Faith Shot".
As a result, he was hit in the butt of his rifle by a single shot from the enemy sniper.
The impact deformed the stock of the SKS rifle, and the man nearly strained his back while swinging his arm.
But this blow wasn't entirely in vain. He glanced at the bullet holes on the folded stock and immediately understood the situation.
"Damn it! There are two more snipers!"
Upon hearing Antonio's words, Gris also uttered a curse.
"I swear on my dick! Someone's definitely sneaking up from the flank right now, ready to 'squeeze' the three of us!"
At that moment, a brief static sound appeared in Antonio and Arafat's headsets; it was the sound of a channel switching.
Then, Santiago's voice rang out.
"Hold on! Li Wei is ready to take out the heavy machine gun and sniper positions!"
Almost at the same time that Santiago finished speaking, the sound of the heavy machine gun stopped abruptly.
But before the three old men could check the situation, the sound of heavy machine guns rang out again.
"Damn it! Did that guy Li Wei get killed? Were all those 'achievements' he had before just a load of bull?!"
Arafat cursed in disbelief.
Antonio, however, directly denied it.
"We don't know what happened before, but the fact that that kid not only survived a head-on assault but also had the strength to support us shows that he's not someone to be trifled with!"
Then, Gris, who came from a "scout" background, was the first to notice that something was wrong.
"Listen! The machine gun bullets... aren't coming this way!"
The three of them peeked out almost simultaneously, and just as Gris had said, about a class of men were sneaking in from both flanks.
However, now it's their turn to be mowed down by heavy machine guns.
Lacking cover, they fell to the ground in pools of blood almost before they could even react.
On the rooftop of the villa, Li Wei had already released the heavy machine gun, saluted the three of them, and turned to leave out of sight.
"Damn it! I was worried about putting more pressure on him, so I didn't ask for help. Now it seems like I was just throwing my eyelashes at a blind man."
Antonio couldn't resist switching to Chinese again.
In his youth, Gris learned seven languages, including Chinese, in order to woo women, and then added a sentence.
"It's a pity that 'Li Wei' is a girl. She would definitely be a very exciting girl! I would pursue 'her' at all costs!"
"I also believe that with Li Wei's abilities, even if he becomes 'her,' 'she' would definitely be able to kick your two 'magazines' to pieces because of your foul mouth."
Arafat picked up his PKM and cursed angrily.
Gris gave him the middle finger and then offered a suggestion.
"I'm going to kill that little punk Reed! Are you guys coming?"
Arafat didn't speak, but looked at Antonio.
"Before we take him out, let's find out how Alpha 66 found us."
After Antonio finished speaking, he threw the gun onto the pool and started climbing out.
Arafat followed in silence, but he did not discard his PKM.
He had this gun with him for many years, and he thought that if he took it back and repaired it, it should still be usable.
Gris threw away the M1 Garand he had picked up, climbed out of the pool, picked up a better M14 from the dead man, and shouldered it.
Before leaving, he couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark.
"Damn it! Why are you holding on so tightly to a dead person! It's more important to leave it for the living who need it!"
Then, when the three old men entered the villa's living room, they were shocked by what they saw.
Amidst the corpses strewn haphazardly across the ground, Li Wei was sitting on one of the men, a gun pressed against his head, shouting sternly.
"You ambushed me? Don't you know I know kung fu?"
"It seems we don't need to go looking for Gatler Reid."
After Antonio finished speaking, Arafat and Gris nodded together.
Because the person Li Wei was sitting on was Gatler Reid.
Hearing someone call his name, Gatler instinctively looked up, only to be met with a solid punch from Levi.
"I'm talking to you! And you're looking around everywhere! Have you no manners? Answer me!"
Gatler had most of his teeth knocked out, and he covered his head in terror, afraid of being beaten again.
"Looking at someone when you're talking to them is basic politeness! Don't you even understand that?"
Li Wei punched him in the stomach again, making Gatler curl up like a boiled shrimp.
"Look me in the eye, you little brat!"
At this point, Antonio felt that if he didn't speak up, Gatler would be beaten to death by Levy.
But Gris beat him to it and knelt down next to Gatler.
"Kid, you should have already experienced how 'powerful' my friend is. You'd better tell me directly how the people from Alpha 66 approached you, and how you approached me."
Gatler was clearly not the kind of person who would rather die than submit.
"Royce Wood contacted me! I was just an agent! I took a million dollars from him! I know nothing else!"
Gris ignored Gatler and looked at Levi instead.
"Li Wei, do you think he's telling the truth?"
Li Wei didn't answer him; instead, he smashed several of Gatler's fingers with a single punch.
Gatler screamed and howled in agony.
"Everything I said is true! I just run a strip club! At most, I force students into prostitution using loan sharks! How could I possibly have any dealings with anti-government forces! Everything I know was told to me by Royce Wood!"
Li Wei ignored this and instead grabbed Gatler by the collar and held it up to his face.
"Did I say our conversation was over? It seems you really don't understand what manners are."
"what?"
Gatler's crying stopped abruptly due to shock.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized he was being beaten up because of the absurd reason of "politeness," rather than because the other person suspected him of lying.
Gris, however, seemed not to have said a word and got up to return to Antonio's side.
"This kid doesn't seem to be lying. But the problem is... who is Royce Wood? I've never heard of anyone like him in any gang."
"Royce Wood...he was Harvey Rogers' private secretary."
Tessa's voice suddenly came through everyone's earpieces.
