45: Chapter 44 Two Solutions
45 -44 Two Solutions
Yang Yi felt he had discovered a truth, which was that since he had dived headlong into this completely unknown world, not one of the things he had predicted had gone according to his plans, and none of the things he had expected to happen had occurred as he had imagined.
“Does it have to be like this?”
“How could this be?”
It was supposed to be a midnight ambush, aiming to catch the enemy completely off guard, but unexpectedly, the enemy was not only prepared but even welcomed them in with open arms.
Yang Yi was getting anxious.
He felt a gunfight was inevitable, and it was likely they had already walked into an ambush, but once again, the turn of events exceeded his expectations.
Danny grabbed the door handle, and then he actually just pushed the door open and went in.
Yang Yi was stunned.
Danny had gone inside, and two of his people followed him in close succession.
Ye Ming looked at Yang Yi, sheathed his knife, but the pistol, on the other hand, was not put away, and then he signaled to Yang Yi with an inquiring look.
“What are we doing?”
Yang Yi asked in a very low voice, and Ye Ming shrugged with a sense of helplessness, then similarly whispered, “Do you want to go in?”
“Go in!”
Yang Yi quickly made his choice, and so he followed Ye Ming and immediately entered the room.
The room was broken down but clean and orderly.
In a very small room, there was only a single sofa, and in front of it stood a man in his forties smiling, while Danny was standing opposite the man.
Beside Danny, there was also a single small sofa set up.
Besides, there were three stern-faced men standing next to that man, all looking quite young, the oldest perhaps in his thirties and the youngest just in his twenties or so.
“Let me introduce myself, I’m Kevin Stuart, but everyone calls me Bus.”
Danny laughed and said, “Bus, like a public bus, meaning anyone can get on if they pay?”
Kevin Stuart smiled faintly and replied, “You could say that, please, take a seat.”
Danny straightened his clothes and sat down casually, while Kevin Stuart also took his seat, with just a small glass round table between them.
“You caught one of my guys, so I knew you’d come knocking, I just didn’t expect it to be this soon.
The Dark Night Knight’s reputation precedes him indeed, truly well-deserved.”
Danny waved his hand impatiently and then calmly said, “Since you invited me in instead of making me fight my way in, let’s talk about what needs to be discussed.”
Kevin Stuart sighed, then nodded and said, “Yes, I indeed want to talk.
My people made a mistake, not realizing they should follow the rules of the Dark Night Knight; I deeply regret this misunderstanding.
They are too young and didn’t understand what being the Dark Night Knight means.”
Danny coldly replied, “Deep regret doesn’t solve the problem.”
Among the few men behind Kevin Stuart, the biggest guy seemed quite angry as he glared hatefully at Danny.
Danny gave a cold glance back and then suddenly said, “It’s been many years since someone dared look at me like that, if you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
Kevin Stuart raised his hand and laughed, “Please don’t mind him, the young ones don’t understand, Danny, or perhaps I should address you as Captain, so Captain, my presence here is to resolve our misunderstanding.”
Danny replied coldly, “How do you propose to resolve it?”
Kevin spoke calmly, “One of my men has fallen into your hands, and by now, he’s probably dead, which I’ve no comment on, but I have two solutions, and I hope you’ll consider them.”
“Speak.”
Kevin Stuart slowly said, “Your man was injured but not dead, one of mine died by your hands, yes, these young men offended your dignity, but they’ve been taught a lesson.
My suggestion is that since they were under the protection of the Dark Night Knight, I won’t pursue the remaining two singers any longer; let’s put an end to this matter, I will bear the loss myself, is that acceptable?”
Danny said without hesitation, “The second solution.”
When mentioning the second solution, it naturally meant the first was no longer considered.
Kevin Stuart sighed with a wry smile, “In my view, this is the best solution, but since you don’t agree, then…”
Kevin Stuart suddenly reached into his coat, Wang Wenjiang aimed his gun, but Kevin didn’t pause and still wore a smile as he slowly pulled out a handgun from inside his coat.
In his right hand was the handgun, and with his left hand, he slowly took out a cylindrical object from his pocket—it was a silencer.
Kevin began fitting the silencer onto the barrel; once the silencer was in place, he worked the slide, then held the gun in his right hand and slowly said, “Next, I will discuss the second solution.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin Stuart suddenly turned and fired at the three people standing behind him.
It was incredibly fast, three muffled shots, and all three people behind Kevin Stuart were shot between the eyebrows.
The first person fell with no expression on his face; he had died before he even had time to feel fear.
The second bore an expression of horror, and the third had only just raised his hand.
The most shocked person present was Yang Yi.
At least Yang Yi knew it was best to keep his mouth tightly shut at this time, to say nothing at all.
In an instant, Kevin Stuart had killed the three men he had brought with him,
Danny frowned slightly, while Kevin Stuart placed the handgun on the round table and then smiled as he reversed the grip and pushed it slowly across, saying, “This is the second solution I’m talking about, Dark Night Knight, just like a rabid dog that never lets go of an enemy who has offended them, either biting to death…”
Kevin Stuart suddenly mimed a biting motion with his mouth, then immediately smiled again, “or dying themselves.
In any case, it’s a fight to the death, so it’s best not to offend the Dark Night Knight because they’re tough and troublesome.”
Danny smiled and said, “Your way of putting it is unpleasant, but not incorrect.”
Kevin Stuart exhaled and smiled, “That’s why I’ve come with the utmost sincerity to resolve our current problem.
The second solution is for the Destroyer to publicly apologize and promise never to offend the dignity of the Dark Night Knight again.
I’ve already shown my sincerity, so, do you accept the second solution?”
Danny’s face was grim as he chuckled and asked, “What about your mission?”
Kevin Stuart laughed heartily, then calmly said, “It continues, of course.
We will continue to pursue our targets, but as long as they are under the protection of Dark Night Knight, I won’t touch them.
To me, there is no need to have a conflict with Dark Night Knight, so I am willing to pay the price to settle this incident.
But since I have already paid what should be paid, I must get back what I deserve, fair, isn’t it?”
Danny didn’t speak; Kevin Stuart smiled again and pushed the gun on the glass table forward, saying, “Of course, there is a third option for you: kill me, and then the Dark Night Knight and the Destroyer can continue their war, fighting to the death.”
Danny wore a contemplative expression while Kevin Stuart remained calmly smiling, watching him intently.
After a moment of silence, Danny finally asked, “Who is Reggie.”
Kevin Stuart glanced back, then pointed to one of the bodies on the ground, “Him, he has a wound on his waist, it must be from this young gentleman, you’ve seen him, you’ll definitely recognize him.”
Kevin Stuart looked towards Yang Yi, and so did Danny, who inquired with his gaze.
Everyone had recognized him, so there was no sense in hiding it.
Meeting Danny’s eyes, Yang Yi nodded and whispered, “Yes, it’s him.”
Danny turned back to Kevin Stuart and asked sternly, “Are all those involved in the operation dead?”
“There’s one more, but he will die.
At this point, we can’t keep him alive, can we?”
Danny suddenly said irritably, “That’s the way with hitmen, always killing from the shadows, they can only kill from the shadows.”
Kevin Stuart smiled, “Frontal assaults are for mercenaries, and mercenaries are always expendable.
Besides, you must admit, killing from behind is simple, effective, and unavoidable.
Even if you avoid it the first time, you can’t dodge the second, the third, or the hundredth time, right?”
Danny didn’t reply; Kevin Stuart’s smile faded, and he said calmly, “Now, it’s your turn to make a choice.
Do you accept my second solution, or do you have your own solution to propose.”
