Chapter 302: 302 Making a Deal (First Update)

"What do you want?"

When he heard those words, Hanazawa Takaya looked up at Chu Jin with a faint smile. "Don’t you know what I want, Miss Chu?"

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashing in her clear depths, her long eyelashes casting a shallow shadow under the incandescent light, and no trace of emotion could be seen on her almost jade-like features, her lips pressed tightly together.

Under the light, the girl stood there, her delicate peach blossom eyes appearing uniquely enchanting.

At this moment, no one knew what was on her mind.

Nor did anyone know her next move.

She exuded an aura not to be underestimated.

Seeing Chu Jin’s demeanor, Hanazawa Takaya brazenly met Song Shiqin’s eyes, a sharp gleam passing through his cunning eyes. "Commander Song is a smart man, if you want that little girl to live, you know what you should do, right?"

Hanazawa Takaya’s objective was clear; he wanted to use the little girl as leverage to escape.

At his words, a trace of ruthless coldness appeared on Song Shiqin’s face as he declared coldly, "You’re not in a position to negotiate with me! Your life is in my hands now!"

In such moments, one’s stance must be firm.

One cannot let personal emotions derail important matters; if Hanazawa Takaya were to be released, the entire operation would fail, and their long-prepared plans would go to waste.

Moreover, with the secrets of H Country on Hanazawa Takaya’s back, letting him go would destabilize the whole of H Country!

He couldn’t risk the entire H Country for the sake of a child!

As a soldier, he must ensure the safety of the people.

Hanazawa Takaya narrowed his eyes, his face betraying no fear. "Does that mean you don’t want to cooperate, Commander Song? Are you going to disregard the girl’s life? Don’t forget, you’re a soldier, and it’s your duty to protect the safety of the people. Are you really going to watch this clever little girl die in front of you? A butcher like you is not worthy to be a commander in H Country!"

As he spoke, Hanazawa Takaya’s gaze shifted to Chu Jin, his lips curling into a strange arc.

Although Hanazawa Takaya was a Dongying person, he nevertheless spoke fluently.

A murderous intent surged in Song Shiqin’s profound, jet-black eyes as he swiftly kicked at the back of Hanazawa Takaya’s knee.

With a ’thud’, Hanazawa Takaya knelt on the ground.

The sound alone was enough to convey pain, yet a smile remained on Hanazawa Takaya’s lips.

"Is Commander Song losing his temper from embarrassment?"

Song Shiqin pulled the trigger harshly and pressed it against the back of Hanazawa Takaya’s neck. "Shut up! Or I’ll kill you on the spot!"

He may have lowered his voice, but it was evident that he was on the verge of rage.

Hanazawa Takaya laughed ’hehe’ twice.

Chu Jin, observing the African man holding the little girl, narrowed her eyes as she calculated her next move.

She was not Song Shiqin, nor a cold-blooded soldier!

She couldn’t ignore the little girl’s safety! Since Pengpeng was in her care, it was her duty to bring the child back safely.

Song Shiqin, who was beside her, discerned her intent and handed his gun to an officer beside him, then grasped her hand.

Without any hesitation, he took hold of her hand.

Song Shiqin’s palms were thick with calluses from years of holding guns for missions.

Her hands, by contrast, were exceptionally soft, as if without bone.

Delicately smooth.

The contrast between these sensations was stark, as addictive as opium, making it impossible to let go.

Chu Jin turned her head to look at him, her peach blossom eyes filled with coldness, reflecting a sweep of snowlight.

Song Shiqin might disregard the little girl’s safety! But she couldn’t!

Chu Jin pressed her lips together, remained silent, and casually withdrew her hand.

Her gaze had already given him the answer.

A complex expression flickered in Song Shiqin’s eyes.

If he was not mistaken, the African man was a top international assassin, codenamed "Devourer," with agile skill and a talent for close combat!

Wanted internationally by all nations, the bounty on his head had risen to 200 million!

His strength was even greater than the world fugitive, Dick.

By herself, she was no match for him!

She was being too impulsive!

Was it really worth taking such a risk for a child with no blood relation to her?

At this moment, Song Shiqin had completely let down his guard towards Chu Jin.

Chu Jin took a couple of steps toward the African man, her delicate peach blossom eyes filled with endless coldness.

"Let’s make a deal," her gaze went beyond the African man to someone behind him, and she slowly began, "Pengpeng is just a child. I’ll be your hostage instead. The child is innocent. Let her go."

Her voice was very light and indifferent, reaching everyone’s ears through the air.

The air was silent.

No one spoke.

All eyes were fixed on her slender figure.

The armed African man glanced at Chu Jin, his eyes carrying a tinge of disdain, as if he could hardly believe someone would volunteer to die.
