Chapter 678

Joyce hid behind a boulder, and she intended to leave her current

position.

She moved carefully, inch by inch, creeping up behind another boulder.

These stones were very hard and sharp, and when she put her hands

on it, she felt like her hands would be cut at any minute.

She thought about the time, and Franklin might need at least another

half hour or so before they could arrive.

It was such a long time actually. She felt like every minute and every

second had been infinitely elongated.

"Joyce. You give me what you have, and I'll leave you alive. Just come

out! You can't hide for all day!"

Ricky shouted again, he wanted to distract Joyce and lure her out for a

quick battle.

He didn't want to delay too long in case the police might have fixed

their systems and it would be too late for they to retreat.

“You throw your stuff out and into the open. I'll have my people stand

aside and give you time to leave. How is that?" Ricky looked from side

to side, repeatedly testing the waters.

As long as there was any movement, he would be able to roughly

determine Joyce's location.

"Creak—"

Suddenly, he heard something.

Ricky turned back nervously and immediately raised his gun.

"Don't shoot! Boss, it was me. I stepped on the branch.”

A killer spoke up to explain.

“Idiot, don't talk!" Ricky's face paled and he was just about to stop the

killer from speaking, but unfortunately it was too late.

After a muffled "Bang", the Killer fell to the ground.

His chest was pierced by a bullet, his blood splattered everywhere, and

his expression was painfully grim.

Immediately afterwards, he fell heavily to the ground.

The other killers then all crouched down to for covers.

"Stupid."

Ricky cursed angrily, and he had cover in front of him before he dared

to shout at Joyce.

But the Killer just now was really such a fool. He was bold enough to

speak up with no cover in front of him and the moment he opened his

mouth, their position was revealed.

The result was an instant knockout by Joyce, which was well deserved.

The rest of the Killers looked afraid and whispered, "This woman has

got quite an extraordinary hearing. Let's deal with her more carefully.”

They had been in the business for quite a long time now, and they were

quite good at it, but they really couldn't figure out how could there be

such a woman with such great marksmanship? Who the hell was she?

"She's in the southeast. Everyone to the southeast, but also be careful

since she might sneak around to elsewhere."

Ricky was also a master of practical combat, and judging from the

source of the gunshot just now, he could already roughly determine

Joyce's location.

Joyce knew in her heart that she had four bullets left and she decided

to take her chance.

She deliberately raised her voice and spoke.

"Ricky, can I really believe you about what you just said? I do have the

stuff on me."

“You throw it out. I promise I won't kill you." Ricky, from the direction of

the sound, was now quite sure about Joyce's approximate location.

"Why should I believe you? Ask your men to throw all their guns on the

ground and gather up in one place. You can keep your gun so it's fair

for both of us. When I confirm it, I will throw the hard drive out.”

While Joyce bargained, she quietly moved her position and switched to

another large boulder to hide.

"Good. You throw the hard drive out now. We will stand right here and

you will have ten minutes to leave. What do you think?" Ricky winked at

the rest of the Killers, signaling them to take their guns out and drop

them on the ground.

Anyway, there were so many of them, and they could always pick up

their guns again even though they threw them on the ground now, so

what were they afraid of?

The killers all looked at each other.

Although they could not understand what Ricky meant, they did as they

were told.
