“I…I think he should be put on trial before he dies,” Susie honestly stated her thoughts.
“We’ve found solid evidence…” Gu Ran originally wanted to reason with her, but then he saw her slightly trembling hands.
"Never killed anyone?" he asked.
Susie nodded.
Gu Ran said, "I thought you were already a junior and had carried out quite a few missions, so you should have some experience, like Senior Brother Chu..."
Chapter 141 Besieged
"Not everyone is like Zihang, who starts doing various tasks so early."
Susie sighed and flicked the blood off her military dagger:
“Usually, students at Kassel College only go to the Executive Department for internships in their senior year and officially participate in decapitation missions. Before that, they mostly observe from a distance, like Lee Eun-sook and her colleagues.”
At that moment, a Siamese woman dressed in a black combat uniform arrived with two first-year university students.
The Siamese woman, named Xiao Shui, was an executive officer at the local branch. She was about 1.65 meters tall and looked much stronger than the average woman.
"Well done," Xiao Shui said to Gu Ran and Su Xi.
Another white man in combat gear, accompanied by two freshmen, came to the 'crocodile'.
The white man's name was Johnson, and he was also the executive officer of the Siam branch.
He first checked the crocodile's pulse and found that it had stopped beating completely.
He examined the body again, touching the crocodile's sunken sternum and discovering that the sternum had been completely broken and embedded in its internal organs.
Moreover, his heart was completely shattered!
"Awesome!" Johnson exclaimed.
Then, he directed two freshmen to begin cleaning up the 'crocodile's' corpse.
From afar, he also gave Gu Ran and Su Xi a thumbs up.
“Oppa! Oppa! We…we’re surrounded.” Lee Eun-sook’s frightened voice came through the communication headset.
Gu Ran, Su Xi, and Xiao Shui all turned their gazes toward the shantytown at the same time.
Under the dim yellow streetlights, a large number of people emerged from the alleys of the shantytown, a dark mass, roughly estimated to be over a hundred.
Armed with weapons such as steel bars and machetes, they slowly approached Li Enshu and her three companions.
Li Enshu and Qi Lan are interns under Gu Ran's supervision. There is also a male and a female student under Su Qian's supervision. They recently joined Li Enshu and Qi Lan.
"Don't be nervous, you have a gun, don't you?" Gu Ran said to Li Enshu as he rushed over.
Susie followed immediately.
Only Xiao Shui stood still, seemingly wanting to see how her juniors would handle the situation.
After Gu Ran reminded her, Li Enshu remembered that she had a gun, so she took out a Glock from her waistband and pointed it at the person in front of her.
The others also took out their weapons.
With guns in hand, they felt a little more at ease.
Those who were about to surround the gun immediately stopped in their tracks and even quieted down when they saw the gun.
These people were all Crocodile's underlings. Some of them had just seen Crocodile being punched away by Gu Ran and thought he was here for revenge, so they immediately rang the bell to call everyone over to rescue their boss.
Then, on the way, they ran into Lee Eun-sook and her group.
Late at night, strangers appeared on their territory. Thinking they were there to take over, they surrounded the four men, hoping to exchange them for their leader.
Among the four students from Kassel College, there was an African American boy who suggested in a low voice, "Should we slowly back away and create some distance between us?"
He has already taken a step back while making his suggestion.
But when he stepped back, those who were surrounding him thought they were afraid, and they started to get restless again.
The thugs raised their weapons and started shouting something. Several of them frantically banged on their water pipes, pointing at the four men with guns, looking ready to pounce.
The four of them originally had a way out, but now they were completely surrounded. However, because they were afraid of guns, they kept a distance of five or six meters from the four of them.
All four men were armed with pistols. At a distance of five meters, an ordinary person could easily get close by in a step or two. If they were to fight to the death and one of the more fearless men rushed up and stabbed them, all four men would be in danger!
These four are all freshmen. Only Qi Lan has received combat training. As for Li Enshu, her Word of Power is to enhance memory, but she is not good at close combat.
But she wasn't afraid, just a little nervous, and gripped the gun in her hand even tighter.
At this moment, Gu Ran jumped into the crowd.
"Oppa!" Lee Eun-sook shouted immediately, her nervousness completely gone.
She wasn't afraid because she thought Gu Ran would come to save her.
Gu Ran snatched the Glock from Li Enshu's hand and fired two shots into the air.
boom!
boom!
Upon hearing the gunshot, the surrounding crowd was startled, and several people instinctively covered their heads and crouched down.
Then, Gu Ran fired two more shots at the ground as a show of force.
The people who had surrounded them immediately took two steps back.
One of the stubborn guys seemed to want to rush forward with a knife, but Gu Ran shot him directly, hitting his machete. He lost his grip and the machete fell to the ground.
Gu Ran held the gun and pointed it ahead. The people in front of him immediately moved aside to avoid the muzzle of the gun.
"Be on guard, follow me. If anyone moves, just shoot," Gu Ran said. "Anyway, they're all Frigga bullets inside, what are you afraid of? Don't feel pressured."
Seeing Gu Ran arrive, the four of them felt reassured and immediately obeyed his orders, following behind him.
Gu Ran's face was sinister, and his aura was intimidating.
Looking at his appearance, none of the thugs dared to make a move.
The five people quickly withdrew.
After the complete evacuation, the four freshmen from Qilan all breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at Gu Ran and wondered, "We're both freshmen, so why are you so outstanding?"
They all developed a sense of admiration for Gu Ran.
Lee Eun-sook looked at Gu Ran with starry eyes, but Gu Ran kept his back to her and didn't see the admiration in her eyes at all.
At this moment, there were still two 'crocodile' henchmen following behind them, muttering something unintelligible.
Gu Ran and the others were completely confused.
Xiao Shui walked over and said something. Upon hearing this, the two henchmen turned around and left.
The dense crowd dispersed at this point.
The night returned to its original tranquility.
Xiao Shui then explained to everyone, "They asked, 'Can we elect a new leader?' I answered them yes."
In the Konti slums, it's normal for the boss to change frequently.
The reason they asked for clarification was because they were afraid that after they went back and elected a new leader, the previous leader would come back, and then there would be chaos for a while again.
They also wanted to live a peaceful life.
The martial arts world isn't always about fighting and killing.
"Alright, everyone, let's start cleaning up the scene. Pack the body up; we'll take it for harmless disposal later." Xiao Shui began assigning tasks while explaining to her younger schoolmates how to handle the aftermath.
The two executive officers, along with Gu Ran and Su Xi, each took on two freshmen to experience the atmosphere of the mission.
Gu Ran and Su Xi also went over and worked with their classmates.
He wants to get a blood test done on the 'crocodile'!
Chapter 142 A Fierce New Life
Actually, tonight's mission is quite simple. 'Crocodile' is at most a trained soldier, so there's no need to send out so many people.
Johnson, who was also an executive commissioner, walked over to Xiao Shui at that moment.
Xiao Shui looked at her old partner and said softly, "That junior named Gu Ran is quite good. He is very fast and has good strength."
She and Johnson were classmates in the same grade and had worked together for many years.
Johnson whispered to her, "Not only is that good, but you didn't even look at the corpse, and its heart was blown out! Now I believe he killed a second-generation creature in South Korea."
He had previously thought that the executive department was exaggerating its achievements, and even suspected that Gu Ran was the principal's illegitimate son.
I never expected this freshman to be so fierce!
"His command and on-the-spot abilities are also excellent." Xiao Shui recalled Gu Ran's performance tonight with great approval.
Especially when facing that group of thugs, Gu Ran not only remained calm in the face of danger, but also immediately came up with a retreat plan.
Xiao Shui originally thought that she would be the one to come to the rescue.
But Gu Ran single-handedly resolved all the issues.
"I heard he's already been internally selected as the next president of the Lionheart Club," Xiao Shui said. "He was already being selected in his freshman year; it seems his abilities have satisfied many people!"
Johnson nodded. Back when they were in school, the student council hadn't risen to prominence yet; the Lionheart Society was the top club.
Moreover, the president of the Lionheart Society has always been the most talented student. In some years, because no talented person emerged to succeed him, the president continued to serve even after graduation until a suitable person was found.
It can be said that the Lionheart Society is a place where geniuses and elites gather.
The executives naturally want as many talented people as possible in their team.
Johnson continued, "Susie is also very capable, especially in terms of pre-operation planning, but she lacks operational experience. It was her first time carrying out a decapitation mission, so she hesitated a bit."
"Weren't you the same when you did your first mission?" Xiao Shui suddenly said with a smile.
"Shh!" Johnson gestured for silence. "Don't expose my weaknesses, or I'll fight you to the death!"
Xiao Shui smiled and said, "A seafood platter."
