Peter was taken aback, as he had never seen someone like Charlie, who so eagerly seemed to backflip his way into hell.Frowning, he growled, "I'm CIA and the person in charge of this investigation, so you will follow my orders in our car! Do you think this is your house, and you get to sit wherever you want?""What are you going to do about it? Kill me?" Charlie shot back impatiently. "Don't forget that this is Japan and not your jurisdiction. Lay a finger on me, and I'll kill you right here!"Oh, and I forgot—I'm not American, I'm Oskian! That means you are even less of a threat to me than you think, if not downright insignificant!"Peter was left dumbfounded, as Charlie clearly wasn't joking.He had taken plenty of lives, but it was still the first time he had met someone like Charlie, who was hellbent on getting killed.Even if Charlie insisted on getting in their car, all Peter had to do was kill one more and deal with an extra corpse.So, why is Charlie being all pompous ab

Peter nodded and turned to another one of his boys as he said, "You, take my seat. I'm riding shotgun."In the end, he was no martial elite, just a seasoned contract killer who needed his firearms. Moreover, orders from above were to keep this quiet, which was how he came up with this bulletless, clandestine strategy to eliminate Tanya. Should there be any surprises, he had also hidden a handgun already aimed from beneath the seats, which would fire if necessary.He had been prepared to enjoy watching Tanya and Trevor choke to death if Charlie had never gotten in the car. With that surprise variable suddenly planting himself in the middle, he let the other ninja sit in the first row so that he could ride shotgun and stay closer to the gun.That would keep him as far away from Charlie as possible to maximize the advantage of his firearm, and with six people in between them, he was in the safest seat possible.With the seating arrangement finally decided, Peter turned to the driver

Both syringes were 10ml, and the substance inside was completely transparent.Once the two hitmen took out theirs, they shoved them straight at Tanya and Trevor, who were totally distracted by Peter's yelling and unaware of what was behind them.Charlie could feel that the ninjas flanking him had already whipped out their shuriken and were stabbing them toward his sides.He calmly projected his Reiki, shielding himself even as he yelled, "Tanya Sweet, you idiot!"Hearing the insult, Tanya turned right away and snapped, "What was that?!"That was when she saw the silver flash and the prick in her neck as the 5cm long needle plunged into her neck!"Argh! What are you playing at?!" She shrieked in pain as Trevor yelped in pain while the other phony CIA agent stabbed him with his syringe, too.Just a little press, and the poison would be injected into their veins and kill them.The ninja beside Charlie was quick, too, as the tip of his shuriken was already almost stabbing into him.

Peter trained his gun on Charlie right then, intent on killing him with just one shot.Seeing that, Trevor shouted out loud, "Mr. Wade! Watch out!"Charlie simply smiled as he walked up and pulled the syringe out of Trevor's neck, launching it toward Peter at a speed too quick for the naked eye to keep up with.Peter was just about to pull the trigger and blow Charlie's brains out when he felt the sharp pain in his wrist, and his palm opened, dropping the gun.When he looked at his hand again, he flinched in horror as the syringe they had planned to use to kill Trevor and Tanya with was sticking out of it!As for Charlie, he pulled out the syringe from Tanya's neck as well and rushed toward the front end of the minibus.Seeing Charlie coming, Peter promptly reached down for the gun, but he didn't have time to see where he had dropped it by the time Charlie had reached him.Grabbing Peter's right hand, Charlie didn't hesitate to thrust the other syringe into the driver's neck while hold

With that, Peter turned toward the driver. "Turn. Don't wait for them."The driver nodded, quickly slowed down, and took a U-turn at the next junction back to Tokyo Dome.That was when Tanya and Trevor, holding hands but still clearly in shock, moved toward them. Tanya especially had lost her previous pride, watching Charlie with a troubled look as she stammered, "M-Mr. Wade… I'd like to call my family through the embassy. We need asylum after something this bad happened…""No," Charlie replied, impassive. "Going back is just fine.""Why not?" Tanya couldn't help asking. "These people are killers—shouldn't we at least tell the cops about something so serious?!""Nope," Charlie's response remained icy. "Starting now, I call the shots around here. You have no right to make any without my permission.""But—"Before Tanya could keep arguing, Charlie snapped, "No buts. If you refuse, I'm getting off this instant and won't intervene with whatever they do to you. It doesn't matter to me if y
