Chapter 186 Attack (3), Human Language Mastery
With fast and soundless steps, Jack hurried towards the staircase. With his ability to control his own body, the other guy wouldn't even notice how Jack got to him.r
Jack wasn't here to play with them. And knowing that the smell of blood would surely attract the attention of the others, Jack made a decisive move.r
With his fast speed, he was able to get to the guy before he could react. The guy had never expected that there would be someone coming from the top. After all, they had made sure to clean up the whole hotel and brought everyone on the second floor.r
The moment that Jack arrived in front of him, he grabbed him by the neck and pushed him to the wall. At the same time, he quickly disarmed the guy. What followed was that he quickly broke the guy's neck, ending his life.r
Then, he pushed the dead body on the ground and asked. "Anyone on the fourth floor?"r
"Two of them." Denali responded.r
Jack had already dealt with two of them. In total, there were only twelve of them left.r
Jack then took the corpse to the fifth floor and hid it in one of the private rooms. But, that was after he took the pistol and the dagger from the corpse.r
With that done, he began heading to the lower floor. Denali told him the exact location of the two people here and what they were doing. And as expected, they were alert.r
This was the behavior that made Jack suspect that they were from another nation that was fighting against them. And, they had to be soldiers here in a mission.r
They had said that with more hostages, they could ask for more. As for what it was that they would be asking for, Jack had no idea. But all the same, since they dared to kill someone here, they had to face the same fate.r
After knowing the exact locations, Jack made a move. As for the cameras, Jack wasn't afraid that he would be noticed. As for the backup that she had called for, although he didn't think that he needed it to deal with these guys, he still needed someone to clean up the scene.r
One by one, Jack began dealing with the group. He would sneak onto them and kill them by breaking their necks. He made sure not to spill much blood because he knew that it would attract the attention of the others.r
And although there was already a stench of blood in the hotel, that was on the second, first and ground floor. As for the upper floors, there wasn't a single corpse or a trace of blood as the only ones present here were the ones that he had personally killed.r
After dealing with the fourth floor, Jack headed to the third floor. On this floor, there were three guys here. With a total of fourteen, they were distributed in such a way that half of them was present with the hostages.r
There were supposed to be two of them on the third floor. But, one of them had joined them there. Now, Jack had already dealt with four of them, leaving only ten of them.r
There were currently six on the second floor, three on the third floor and one on the ground floor. The only problem that he would have would be to deal with the six on the second floor.r
The second floor was an open space that was filled with tables. And currently, there were a lot of people who were congested on the floor. So, for him to act fast enough to ensure that the hostages were not implicated was something that he had to take care of seriously.r
He steadily sneaked onto the three who were discussing something. Since they were not scattered, Jack had to be more careful and fast enough to deal with the three of them before they could do anything that would alert the others.r
"Are you sure that they are coming? We have already waited for over an hour now." One of the three guys stated.r
"Do you think that the Aziminian higher-ups will be willing to exchange the lives of these hostages for our mission target?"r
"I'm not sure why, but I feel quite uneasy. But this was supposed to be a foolproof plan. We did a lot of investigation before we carried out the mission. So, I believe that they would have to agree considering that the lives of hundreds of their citizens are in our hands."r
"I'm having a strange feeling right now. We are mainly guarding the top floors because we don't expect that if the military sent someone, he would be able to sneak in through the ground, but most likely from the top. But although we are flawless, I think that there's something that isn't right."r
"What could go wrong? We have left the other floors and the roof without someone. In this way, they might think that we are careless. But when they dare to sneak here, we will kill the one that has sneaked over as well as a few hostages to tell them that we are serious."r
Jack on the other hand listened to what they were saying keenly. He wanted to get a few clues about what they were doing here. And, he had managed to find out that they were simply using his hotel and those inside as the hostages.r
This made Jack's expression turn cold. It seemed that he would have to establish his reputation and that of the companies or businesses under him. In this way, people would think twice before they dared to come and attack him.r
His eyes flickered with a cold light that soon disappeared. He nodded to himself. He hadn't done a mistake in killing the other four guys. After all, these guys were intent on killing a few more people.r
That meant that he had to hurry up his steps. Otherwise, someone was going to suffer soon.r
…r
Back to a few seconds ago…r
Jack had just arrived in a corner where he could clearly hear what these guys were talking about. But, what made him frown was that they were speaking a language that he didn't understand at all.r
Just as he was wondering on what to do, a system prompt appeared in front of him.r
[Emergency mission program activated. Advance reward, Professional Human Language Mastery. Accompanying task that you'll have to complete so that you can permanently have the reward is as follows: Task; Show your language proficiency and amaze those that boast to be masters. Time limit, 4 weeks.]r
He was surprised that the system came in handy. He had thought about using the chance that he was given by the system. But in the end, he thought that it wasn't worth it to waste such a chance on something like this.r
Since this group could speak Aziminian, he may as well beat them up before interrogating them. And, if they thought that they couldn't talk, he would leave them to Denali to interrogate them. She 'was trained by a secret organization' and she had some skills on her. The system had given her such a background when he selected the skills for her.r
And what was a surprise to him this time was the fact that he wasn't required to earn any money to complete the system task. As long as he impressed those guys that thought that they were the masters when it came to mastering different languages, he would be able to complete the task.r
And, he had been given a whole month to do that. It seemed that the system had seen that it might be difficult for him to complete the mission because of the fact that it would be difficult for him to find those guys and impress them.r
After all, there was no way that he would go around looking for them. Then after finding them, he would start showing off in front of them so that they might get impressed.r
He was sure that the result that he would get would definitely be their resentment rather than a good impression from them. They were proud people. What would happen when a person went to show off in front of them?r
In other words, he had to look for a good method that he could use so that he could impress them. The best one would be if they were the ones that needed the person who could speak different human languages.r
Without hesitation, Jack accepted the task. Immediately after that, Jack felt that there was a big amount of information that had appeared in his mind.r
And as he heard the group speaking, he finally understood what they were saying. It was as if what they were talking about, their accent, their language and so on were natural to him.r
Jack decided to focus on what they were saying at the moment. But, as he listened further, he was surprised. Although these guys were sure that there would nobody that would be here and they were speaking in their own language, they still didn't mention what had brought them here.r
…r
Back to the present..r
Jack waited for a while longer but he found nothing that helped him to know what they were talking about. So, he decided to take action.r
Since they were a little lax, Jack thought that he would have to do something now. He didn't have that much time. So, he had to deal with them now that their guard wasn't at the highest point.r
