Chapter 289 The other party screwed up

Beckett first sniped the guard at the back door of the villa.

Hobbs led the assault team to a detour to the front and killed the guard at the door at close range.

Luke and Chapman paraglided to the roof of the villa.

Install the rappelling rope.

The entire operation was silent, but the criminals upstairs were still alert.

Originally, Luke and Chapman were rappelling into the second-floor lobby.

But one of the gangsters went to the room where Elika was being held.

So Luke temporarily changed the direction of his attack.

Chapman continued to rush into the hall and shot another gangster dead.

Luke breaks into the room where Elika is being held.

The gangster checked Elika and found nothing, so he looked at Elika who was leaning against the wall.

Although Elika's clothes were intact, it was summer here and girls' clothes had very little fabric.

The gangster seemed to have some ideas and gradually approached Elika.

Elika was extremely nervous after being kidnapped and opened her eyes when she heard the noise.

When he saw the approaching criminals, he seemed a little panicked.

The gangster said something to Ileka in Arabic.

Elika does not know Arabic.

But she could guess it from the gangster's expression and movements.

The bandit leader sternly warned his men not to cross the line into Elika.

But I don't know what this gangster was thinking.

He thought that now that the bandit leader was gone, he could make a move on Elika.

He covered Elika's mouth with one hand and began to reach into Elika's clothes with the other hand.

Elika tried to struggle in panic, and then she heard the sound of glass breaking.

The gangster's brains and blood sprayed half of her face.

Then she saw a dark figure holding a gun, kicking open the window and entering the room.

There was also the sound of breaking glass outside.

There were also some slight noises downstairs.

Then, the voices of Hobbs and Chapman were heard over the communicator.

"It's safe downstairs."

"The second floor is safe."

Luke came to Elika and pulled away the body of the gangster that had fallen on top of her.

He looked at Elika who was extremely frightened.

He took off his helmet and said to her with a smile:

"I'm Luke, remember? Your dad asked me to rescue you."

As he spoke, he untied Elika.

After hearing the good news, Elika suddenly broke down and hugged Luke's neck and burst into tears.

And she was hugging her so tightly that if Luke tried to pull her away, he would probably hurt her.

So Luke had no choice but to issue orders on the communicator.

"Hobbes, lead the team to check the situation inside the villa and collect information about the robbers."

"Beckett, keep an eye on the situation outside the villa."

"Received~" x 2

Elika cried and fell asleep.

this is normal phenomenon.

Once a person relaxes his suddenly tense mind after being safe, he will easily feel tired. At this time, the body will send out signals to relax the mind and muscles of the whole body.

Therefore, many people enter a period of muscular dystrophy not long after being rescued.

But Elika's hands were still tightly around Luke's neck.

"Lilith, how are the gangsters who received the ransom doing?"

"They are in a safe house awaiting news from the person who is delivering the ransom."

"Who did Sir King send to deliver the ransom?"

“I can’t find that.”

Looking at Elika who was hugging him, Luke decided to wait.

So he ordered the team to stay where they were.

Let Lilith take over the gangsters' communications.

As Elika fell into a deep sleep, her hand finally let go of Luke.

Luke placed her in the master bedroom of the villa, waiting for news from the bandit leader who was being monitored by the drone controlled by Lilith.

Not long after the sun rose, Lilith brought the news.

"Boss, there was a firefight over there with the bandit leader, he was injured and escaped."

Upon hearing the news, Luke couldn't help but swear.

"These idiots... who did this?"

"A professional, but he doesn't look like a secret agent. He looks more like someone in the military."

Luke thought about it and figured that the bandit leader would either leave or return to the villa after escaping.

So Luke ordered the team to evacuate the villa and ambush the bandit leader on the mountain road.

He also walked out of the villa holding Elika.

Luke would not participate in the following ambush battle, after all, he now had a human pendant on him...

In the end, the bandit leader did not show up, but a jeep came instead.

They stopped not far from the foot of the mountain.

Four men came out, fully armed.

You can tell they are special forces by looking at their appearance.

Moreover, they did not take the normal route up the mountain, but instead advanced through the woods and headed straight for the villa.

"Boss, these guys are the gang leader that was attacked by these guys."

This is most likely the foreign aid that Sir Robert King has found.

But it doesn't look reliable at all.

After thinking for a moment, Luke decided to make contact first. After all, both parties had the same goal.

If I just leave like this, it will be difficult for the other party to report to the authorities.

So Luke gave orders to the team.

"Surround the enemy first and see what their situation is."

"receive."

The team quickly adjusted their position and surrounded the other party before the four of them had even traveled half the distance.

After seeing the equipment of Luke's team, the other side did not put down their guns, but the leader had already begun to prepare for negotiations.

The guy had a typical English beard and wore a round-brimmed boonie hat.

He stretched out his hands and said to the team:

"Who are you?"

Hobbes said to him:

"Tell me your name first."

The man over there was silent for a while and then said:

"We have been commissioned by Sir Robert King to rescue his daughter, Elika King."

"Tell me your name. We need to verify it with Sir Robert King."

The bearded man answered Hobbes' question after a little thought, but did not say his name.

"I received a commission from Mrs. M. You can verify this with Sir Robert King."

Lilith has already obtained the approval of Sir Robert King through the old man.

After learning that Elika was rescued, Sir Jin also breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Mr. Qin and Luke profusely.

But Luke didn't know all this. He only knew that these people were indeed sent by Sir Robert King.

After Luke came out holding Elika, he asked the team to temporarily lift half of their alert.

The support team led by Beckett still did not relax.

Seeing Luke appear with Elika in his arms, the bearded man and his men breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke spoke to them from a distance.

"Did Sir Gold send you to deliver the ransom? How did the bandit leader escape?"

The bearded man sighed.

"The intelligence we received was wrong. We didn't expect they had helpers in Nicosia."

Luke nodded.

"We are going to take Elika away now. We have already killed all the criminals in the villa. You can do the rest as you wish."

The bearded man hurriedly called out to Luke.

"Can I know your names?"

Luke smiled at him and said:

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first when asking someone a question?"

The bearded man thought for a moment and said to Luke:

"SAS, Lieutenant John Price."

Luke smiled and nodded.

"FBI, Special Incidents Unit, Luke Dutton."

Both parties nodded and left.
