The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Chapter 108 The Assassin in the Dark

Tsukamoto Group Building!

Even at night, the place is brightly lit.

The top floor is a large, single-level apartment with a Japanese style.

Ichiro Iemoto, that old devil, was leisurely enjoying the song and dance of his hometown with a young and beautiful dancer in one arm, completely unaware that danger was about to befall him.

He pressed a button on a device that resembled a walkie-talkie. "Sasaki, is there anything unusual downstairs?" Ever since the kidnapping incident at the Cointreau Hotel, he had become unusually concerned about his safety.

"Reporting to the president, everything is normal."

"Yoshi, thank you for your hard work."

Ichiro Iemoto nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of sake, and continued to enjoy his nightlife.

"Everyone, check along the patrol route: Area 2, Area 3, Area 4 — report any abnormalities immediately."

Sasaki was a security captain personally recruited from Japan by Ichiro Tsukamoto. He previously served in the Self-Defense Forces and has been a senior executive in a security company since his retirement, possessing extensive security experience.

He meticulously instructed his security personnel to strictly adhere to patrol plans in any suspicious locations, striving to thoroughly investigate and eliminate any potential dangers.

"Report to the captain, everything is normal in area 2."

"Area 3 is operating normally."

"Area 4 —"

As his subordinates reported that nothing unusual had happened in the building, Sasaki breathed a sigh of relief. He led two of his men back to the monitoring room. "Everyone, don't be careless. Keep a close eye on the surveillance footage. If anything goes wrong—you should know the consequences."

"Hi!"

Everyone instinctively agreed and intently watched the monitor for any movement.

Ichiro Iemoto doesn't trust the locals in Hong Kong, so all the security personnel in his group are recruited from the mainland to ensure their loyalty and his personal safety.

They were extremely cautious.

"When does the company president take a break?"

"The president has been staying up late these past two days, so it's still early."

"Okay, continue monitoring."

Sasaki sat in the monitoring room, supervising all the security personnel to do their jobs diligently.

Zzz~

Just then, all the surveillance screens suddenly flickered, making Sasaki's heart tighten. He stood up and shouted, "What's going on? Why is the monitoring current fluctuating?!"

Before he finished speaking, all the surveillance screens suddenly went black, all the images disappeared.

The next moment, the bright lights suddenly flickered, and then the whole place went dark. All the lights disappeared in an instant. From the outside, it looked as if someone had pressed the power button on the entire Jiaben Group building in an instant. The brightly lit building turned into complete darkness in an instant.

"Baka! Groups 3 and 7, go to the power distribution room immediately to check the situation. Everyone else, search carefully to see if you find any suspicious persons or other abnormalities."

"Group 1, Group 5, go and activate the backup power immediately."

Sasaki reacted quickly, grabbing the walkie-talkie and ordering someone to go to the power distribution room to investigate.

However, no matter how quickly he reacted, it was useless. Lu Ming and his team's plan to cut off the power was to completely destroy the wiring in the power distribution room, and even if repairs were made, it would take most of the day to restore it.

Therefore, Sasaki's efforts were destined to be in vain.

"Sasaki, what happened? Why was the power cut off?"

Ichiro Iemoto, sitting on the top floor, was furious when he saw the television suddenly lose power. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and began questioning Sasaki, who was in charge of security.

"President, there is an anomaly in the power distribution room. We are investigating. We cannot rule out the possibility that an assassin has broken in. However, please rest assured, President, we will restore power immediately and check the security of the entire building."

Sasaki broke out in a cold sweat and reported loudly.

Tsukamoto Ichiro said in a deep voice, "I'll give you half an hour to investigate the situation thoroughly."

"Hi!"

Sasaki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly issued a series of orders, mobilizing all security personnel to investigate any anomalies in the entire building.

"Another little mouse has broken in."

Tsukamoto Ichiro turned off the walkie-talkie, snorted coldly, and took out a silver-white pistol from the drawer.

Over the years, he has survived many assassination attempts, but without exception, all the assassins were killed by him and his men and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

He participated in the invasion of China and knew that his actions back then had aroused the hatred of many people, and countless people secretly wished to kill him.

Therefore, he has always acted cautiously over the years, not only establishing a revenge fund worth hundreds of millions to deter assassins from around the world and prevent them from easily accepting orders to assassinate him.

At the same time, he has arranged a large number of security personnel recruited locally at his group headquarters to ensure his personal safety.

This is probably what happens when you feel guilty.

Boom!

At that moment, Sasaki was busily arranging for security personnel to check for potential dangers in the building when suddenly a gunshot rang out. The security personnel who had been ordered to activate the backup power were ambushed.

Intense gunfire erupted in an instant.

The security guard, caught off guard, screamed and collapsed.

"Report to the captain, an assassin has broken in, and we are currently engaged in a firefight with him."

"The enemy's firepower is very strong, and we can't hold on much longer."

The security personnel were attacked and immediately began shouting to Sasaki to report the situation.

"Hold on, I'll send people to support you right away."

-

Sasaki was shocked; the unusual situation in the building was indeed the work of the assassin.

He immediately arranged for two more groups to go and provide support.

"Immediately call the Hong Kong Island police and request them to dispatch officers to arrest the killer."

"Groups 7 and 9, follow me upstairs. Stand guard on the floor below the president's office. We absolutely cannot let the assassins disturb the president—"

Sasaki waved his hand and led two groups upstairs to guard the area, preventing the assassins from using a diversionary tactic.

Their responsibility is to ensure the safety of Ichiro Iemoto, the chairman of the Iemoto Group. As long as they hold their ground and wait for the police to arrive, they will be basically safe.

"Ah Ming, proceed according to plan."

Chen Guojun was wearing a protective suit that completely concealed his appearance, and a helmet similar to a gas mask. Looking at the security personnel who had fallen one after another through the visor, he immediately told Lu Ming to rush up and kill Iemoto Ichiro if the situation allowed.

"receive!"

Lu Ming replied through the earpiece walkie-talkie, then his gaze fell on Sasaki and the other security personnel not far away. Long before the power was cut off, he had already activated his stealth and mimicry skills, turning into a mass of darkness and blending into the night. Then, relying on his excellent physical abilities, he rushed upstairs in one breath.

He stood not far from Sasaki and the others, but they seemed blind to him, their faces filled with tension as they guarded against any potential assassins.

Little did they know, the assassin was already standing right in front of them.

"It's time to hunt."

Lu Ming looked at Sasaki and the others, picked up his AK47, and pulled the trigger.
