Book 3: Chapter 12

Sniper, Movement, Wind Blade

Number 4, go and get the car started and check the surroundings for any police lurking around. Number 2, Number 5, grab the money and follow Number 4 to the car. Number 6, you go delete the banks camera recordings. Number 7, keep an eye on the hostages. Number 3, tie up this girl and that brat. The head of the robbers assigned various task to the other members.

ButI dont understand, why does Number 6 need to delete the banks camera recording? They robbed the bank with masks on their faces, unless they have something to hide?

While I was going through these questions in my head, my hands were being tied together by Number 3. His knot tying skills are superb. Even though I was unable to move my hands at all, I did not feel any pain in my hands

Just after Number 3 finished tying up Kamiki, all seven robbers gathered together once again.

Number 1, the car is good to go its all fueled up too. The surrounding police saw me starting up the car, but none of them dared to take a step forward.

Number 1, the security camera records have been deleted and I made sure to delete the backups too.

Good! In that case, we can go now. Number 7, pick any hostage to relay a message to the police; tell them that we still have hostages in our hands, so they had better not let us discover any police following us, or else we will not guarantee the safety of the hostages.

Understood. After Number 7 replied, he turned around and walked towards the crowd of hostages, he then grabbed the bank manager. After speaking to him for a bit, he let the bank manager run out of the bank.

After the bank manager ran out of the bank, the robbers marched Kamiki and I out of the door

When we walked out of the banks main entrance, Kamiki and I were shoved by the robbers towards a van parked not far away

All of a sudden, Bang!, a faint shot rang out, and one of the Numbers behind me crashed down his fresh blood sprayed onto my neck.

Sniper?

The police? Thats not possible, right? Are they really going to ignore our safety?

Bang! Bang! Bang! The sniper from some unknown location fired off another few rounds of shots, forcing the robbers to rush us towards the front of the van and use it to shield ourselves.

Damn it! Is it the police? One of the robbers roared in anger, and then aimed the gun at my head.

The leader of the robbers raised his hand slightly, signalling him not to open fire. In a calm tone, he said, I dont think sonow is not the time to act rashly, who knows, we may still have a use for him. The sniper should be from the Kamiki family so we need to be cautious.

Someone from the Kamiki family? Could they mean a member of Kamikis family?

Damn it! Wild Wolf, then you tell us what we should do now. The robber that had me at gunpoint lowered his gun. Although his face is hidden by the mask, I could still feel that he was feeling pretty nervous at this very moment.

Idiot, my codename is Number 1. Dont panic just because something unplanned happened. The shooters wouldnt dare to fire at us anymore so Number 4, quickly get into the car and start it up. Number 2, since you are quick on your feet, go and drag Number 6s body back You two, better cooperate with us and not try to take any chances. If we cant get out of here, both of you will also join us. The head of the robbers, by the name of Wild Wolf, pointed at us, made a knife-like hand gesture and lightly slashed across his throat.

Upon hearing Wild Wolfs instructions, the rest of the robbers calmed down and executed their individual tasks this made me feel once again how scary these robbers are but, what scares me the most, is still this man named Wild Wolf.

Bang! Ah! Number 2, who went to retrieve Number 6s body, took a shot to his arm I saw one of his hands let go , thinking that he would give up retrieving the body If this is the case, with a body left behind, the police will be able to identify the robber.

However, to my surprise, Number 2 actually endured the terrible pain and single-handedly, dragged the body back safely while still under the danger of getting shot by the godly sniper.

Staring at the falling leaves and the clustered bullet shells on the ground not far away, I deeply admired the shooting skills of the sniper The first shot just now was originally meant for me, but his hands shifted a little and accidentally shot the robber that was behind me

Vrrruuum! Wild Wolf pulled open the doors and pushed us in after the engine of the van fired up. Following after, the remaining five robbers boarded the van one after another.

After all of them had boarded, they threw Kamiki and I to the seatless area at the back of the van.

Number 4 slammed onto the gas pedal when everyone had got on and the van sped away, the sound of gunshots from the sniper also died down. Just like that, we were taken away by the robbers.

Through the window on the vans back door, I noticed that there were some tall trees in the vicinity where we were at so thats why that god-like snipers line of sight was blocked by those big trees no wonder leaves were falling just now.

15 minutes later

Ha! It seems the police really didnt tail us. Number 4 who was driving, laughed heartily, The job is so easy this time around, although Wild Spirit is dead, the money we made this time is the most we have ever gotten, I really wish that there will be another task like this next time.

Keep it in your dreams, Wild Leopard, the person we kidnapped this time is none other than the miss from the Kamiki Conglomerate. Being who they are, the Kamiki Conglomerate will not let the matter rest like that. Dont you go and forget that terrifying sniper just now, if not for those big trees, it would not be a matter of me getting shot but whether or not I am dead. Number 2 responded.

We heard the conversation between the robbers loud and clear from the back of the van.

Kidnapping Kamiki? The target of this bunch of people was Kamiki Kuji from the very start? Why?

I took a look at Kamiki, who was right beside me. Coincidentally, she was also looking in my direction and our eyes met. Then, as though she was embarrassed, she quickly turned around What is with her? Did she get so scared that she lost her nerve?

Hehe, they wont let the matter rest? You are just unlucky that you got shot, the people from the Kamiki Conglomerate are not that amazing after all ~ the girl looks very succulent, why dont we

If you have time for idle chitchat, why dont you do a better job in observing the situation around us, I wont allow even a tiny bit of error, or else, the clients payment would go up in smoke. One more thing, Wild Dog, dont you get any ideas about our target, our task is to deliver Miss Kamiki to our client without any harm. Wild Wolfs unforgettable voice sounded out.

Ya ya, hey, Wild Wolf, what should we do with them?

Bring them out, throw them into the warehouse and remember to lock the door.

Understood! Wild something or another replied, then the backdoor of the van was lifted up.

Through the lights from the inside of the car, I saw a somewhat handsome guy looking at us with a smile, Ha~~ You two are so obedient, come here, continue to do as I say, else, I cannot guarantee your safety.

Since the man had told us so, I gently nudged the dazed Kamiki, who was lost in thought sitting right next to me. Then, I let her follow me out of the van.

Tonight, the stars are as bright as the moon. With the starlight illuminating the way, we walk towards a rundown factory not too far away ahead of us.

Abandoned factory

Alright, this will be your accommodation for the night, hey, kid, dont you get any ideas on our target, or else you will die, very miserably. The guy closed the door right after he finished his sentence.

Kamiki and I are currently inside a storehouse. Inside the storehouse, a small light was shining, I could vaguely make out some cloth in the corners seems like, this was once a factory manufacturing clothes or something.

Hey, Kamiki, are you scared? I am not sure why, at the start when she was picked to be the hostage, she was still shaking non-stop, but when I stood up to suggest myself as the hostage, she seemed like she was no longer afraid. Is it because now she has me as a hostage buddy?

Scared? At first, I was, but now, not anymore. Under the faint light, I realised Kamiki was actually very beautiful, this was something I never noticed before jet-black hair, exquisite skin, eyes brimming with intelligence, perfect alignment of the her facial features. Kamiki gives off a vibe of astuteness.

Really? oh right, can you chew through the rope on my hands? I do not hope to stay in this condition. Dont worry though, I will bring you away from here.

Turn around, let me take a look this wont do the rope is made of good materials, moreover, that guys rope tying skills are ingenious, I cant chew through it.

Damn it now what? Hmm? Kamiki, dont you have a wind type spirit? Summon it. At this moment, I remember Kamiki has an intermediate class wind type monkey.

But What can it do?

You dont need to worry about that, just summon it.

Summoning ones own contracted spirit does not require the use of a magic wand. It relies on a direct psychic connection that lets it out from its magical space

Alright. Unexpectedly, Kamiki listened to my suggestion I thought she would ignore the words from someone like me, whom she disliked so much.

I saw Kamiki closed her eyes then a dull silver magic circle appeared on the floor a cute monkey slowly rose from the magic circle. The little monkey immediately understood our situation the moment he appeared, and did not make a noise or throw a tantrum, instead it stood there obediently waiting for Kamikis order.

Okay, Kamiki, now, you just let it take aim at the rope around my wrist with its Wind Blade, then the rope should come off.

You are kidding, right? Aiming a Wind Blade at you? Your hands will also be sliced along with the rope. Kamiki started to tense up, unable to believe the foolish idea I had.

I am not joking, just listen to me, or else, we will be trapped here.

I cant! I cant do this I wont let you get hurt I am already grateful that you stood up to try and replace me as the hostage, I cant let you get hurt anymore because of me

Hey Why are you crying? Dont cry, looking at you cry makes me agitated. In any case, just trust me. I will be fine, also, stop being so loud, if the kidnappers outside heard us, it will be even harder for us to escape. What the hell is Kamiki doing? I always thought that people like her would not shed tears The moment I see a girl cry, my heart becomes mess.

No I dont want to I dont want to Kamikis cries keep getting louder seriously, the robbers outside will hear you.

With no other choice, I stuck my forehead onto hers, and as gently as possible said, Listen Kamiki, I beg you to please trust me, I will be fine, furthermore, I will bring you away from here. Dont you forget, you are still my fiance, didnt you want to annul the marriage agreement? Then, listen to me, ask your spirit to aim its Wind Blade against the rope around my hands

Wah~ So embarrassing I am actually so close to Kamiki It feels like I am going to faint

I If anything happens to you, I wont forgive you Kamiki was speaking weirdly, seemingly shocked by the action of me sticking my forehead onto hers as well.

Uh Please trust me. I slowly moved myself away from Kamikis beautiful face took a deep breath, and retreated a few steps deeper into the storehouse, then turned around with my back facing Kamiki.

Freed Dragon energy!!!! I screamed out in my head.

Although I already made my decision I am still afraid that Freed will not activate the dragon energy inside me If its not activated, my hands will undoubtedly be cut off by the Wind Blade.

If If we successfully escape from here Kamiki stuttered as she tried to say something.

I did not hear it clearly so I asked, What did you say?

Nothing Then Lets start. Haki.

Right after Kamiki called out the name of the wind monkey, I immediately felt something flying towards me at high speed, and the next second, I felt something collide into me, which made me stagger forward a few steps and my hand hurt like hell.

I promptly shook both of my hands off, and held in my scream the rope finally came off my hands werent bleeding. This is the best I could hope for Both my hands are free Then, the next step time for a performance

(From the author:

At the beginning of the chapter, there is the mentioning of two Kamiki family. I am wondering if the readers would be confused by that. If that is the case, please let me clarify it a bit. The first Kamiki family, as was referred to by the robbers, refers to the Kamiki Family Conglomerate; the second Kamiki family, refers to Kamiki Kujis family If the readers are wondering why the robbers were so lax with the main character and his friend, that is because they believed that the main character and Kamiki wouldnt pose a threat to them, so they didnt even bother gagging them.)
