This kind of gun betting is definitely not something a professional assassination agent would do! If his superior found out, it would be no small trouble. However, Christopher is not only a top-notch assassination agent, but also an excellent gun expert! Moreover, it is his marksmanship that has forged his career, so at one point, with swelling confidence and lack of challenge, there are plenty of opportunities to complete the mission for him, but finding a competent opponent is not that easy!
Li Yan's expression was grim, seemingly deep in thought for a while before agreeing, "Alright, I agree. We start after counting to three, you do the counting! Before that, do you mind if I switch the gun to my right hand?"
Christopher laughed. Initially, when he saw Li Yan drawing his gun with his left hand, he thought he was a left-handed shooter. Surprised at how someone who could easily throw a person with his right hand could be left-handed, could it be that both his hands are equally trained?
This very point greatly piqued his interest. He had never encountered a formidable left-handed gunman before! Unexpectedly, now wanting to switch hands, it seems that was just an emergency move.
Even so, it showed that this was an expert with quick reflexes, and regardless of how accurate the left hand was, at least he held the gun steady.
"Of course. It's always more habitual with the right hand; you switch hands and then I'll count." Christopher accepted Li Yan's suggestion.
He wanted to compare speed, not just with an expert but with experts at their highest level, otherwise, what's the point? Therefore, he didn't point the gun at Li Yan, but at Li Jie! Because, for many experts, life and death pressure may not be too significant, pointing at someone they care about instead motivates them to perform above their capabilities.
Li Yan slightly loosened his middle, ring, and little fingers of his left hand from the grip, indicating he wouldn't fire opportunistically, then his right hand also slowly reached across, careful with every move to avoid misunderstanding and escalating the atmosphere.
Christopher greatly appreciated his meticulous movements, honest and upright! This is the demeanor of an expert! To express the atmosphere of friendly competition, he also released his grip.
As Li Yan's right hand slowly reached to take over from the left, Christopher's focus was also on his right hand! After all, they're enemies, even upright experts might have chances to deceive; what if he's not genuinely switching hands but using the right hand to steady the left to fire?
Li Yan did not disappoint, his right hand always slightly higher than the left before approaching it. Christopher awaited the final showdown with satisfaction.
Li Yan was also satisfied, so his left hand swiftly tightened the grip for a steadier shot, and then, as if gauged more accurately during the handover, the left hand pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
The gun fired!
Right between the eyebrows!
At the same time, Li Jie, who was on high alert, instinctively darted to a table inside upon hearing the gunfire, regardless of who fired or whether there was time.
"Whizz—!"
Despite being shot in the forehead, Christopher still fired a bullet, but it was already too late, and his aim was off.
His eyes were filled with anger and discontent, wasn't this a duel between top gunmen? This was supposed to be a battle of honor, how could it end this way?
Because he was sitting, he didn't fall, remaining in a seated position.
Li Yan confirmed he had been killed with one shot, quickly taking a picture of his condition, not to waste a million International Coins. After taking the shot, he went over to Christopher, took his gun, and thought to himself: Maybe I should say—I'm sorry, I'm an assassin! Also, my left-handed shooting isn't much worse than my right, at such close range, you were too confident!
Yes, how could an assassin bet on a gunfight or speed with you? An assassin would only find ways to take your life, and the method, of course, should be as safe as possible!
"Whizz—whizz—"
He fired another shot each at the two already near-dead people.
The successive gunshots startled Li Jie, who was already safe inside and hadn't been shot! She now could distinguish that the first shot sounded like the midday gunshot at the restaurant, while the foreigner used a silencer with a distinct effect. If Li Yan fired the first shot, why could the foreigner still fire three more shots?
"Stop screaming, it's over!"
Li Yan had already holstered his gun and was walking towards Li Jie.
"Li Yan? Are you alright?!" Hearing his voice, Li Jie felt relieved and hurried out from inside.
"I'm fine, but we need to leave this place quickly. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble!"
"They..."
"Oh, they killed each other. This wasn't likely a traitor, perhaps just an undercover agent."
Can this work? Li Jie gaped, what a ridiculous excuse!
Li Yan casually fabricated a story, then handed the gun and the magazines he found on Christopher to Li Jie. "Wandering without a weapon is too risky, take it! Even if you fire later, it won't trace back to you. Let's go quickly!"
Li Jie hesitated; this act of killing and seizing the gun seemed too illegal... but they deserved it! If they weren't killed, they would have been killed! And her father...
