Chapter 57

Pekhovski slowly frowned and then said, "It seems you know all about this?"

Lu Tai nodded.

Pekhovski continued, "The Cross only wanted Wesley to live a normal life, far away from all this killing."

"Without taking out Sloan, that’s simply impossible, I think you should know that," Lu Tai said.

"But... Wesley won’t be your helper," Pekhovski said.

"So... find the Cross first, at least before Wesley does," Lu Tai said.

Pekhovski looked at Lu Tai and then said, "This is why you came here."

"Yes," Lu Tai replied, "When I said the Cross is in danger, I wasn’t exaggerating. Sloan will definitely send Wesley to kill the Cross, and the Cross, because Wesley is his son, won’t use lethal force. But this way, he will surely die at Wesley’s hands."

After hearing Lu Tai’s words, Pekhovski didn’t seem very surprised. His face was very calm, as if he had predicted this scene.

After a long time, he slowly stood up and said to Lu Tai, "It’s getting late. You can sleep in this room tonight." As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the door.

"Hey, didn’t you understand what I meant? I want to see the Cross immediately. He’s in danger," Lu Tai shouted at Pekhovski’s back.

As Pekhovski closed the door, he said to Lu Tai, "From the day Wesley joined the Brotherhood, this was already destined."

"Bang!" Pekhovski closed the door and left.

"Damn!" Lu Tai cursed under his breath. He then lay down on the bed. He wondered, does Pekhovski really not care about the Cross’s life? No, that’s impossible. The plot of the movie told him that the two were very close, even to the point of being life-and-death friends.

But Pekhovski had just been so calm. He might have already guessed that things would eventually come to this, but why didn’t he do anything to help the Cross? For example, making the Cross hide completely. After all, this is Europe, their territory. Sloan’s reach isn’t that long.

There could only be one reason: the Cross himself didn’t want to hide. He wanted to face Wesley directly, even if it meant death, he wanted to tell Wesley the truth.

Thinking back to New York, when he and the Cross had a brief meeting... the Cross told him not to get involved in his affairs.

Thinking about this, Lu Tai let out a long sigh. Could this really be fate?

Lu Tai felt extremely tired. The past two days had been too exhausting. He spent four days dealing with Lawrence’s situation at the Czech airport. Lu Tai pinched his eyebrows and slowly fell asleep.

He had a dream, dreaming of a group of killers sent by Sloan. He was surrounded by these killers, and a dense web of bullets enveloped him. He had run out of throwing knives, not a single one left. He watched as he was riddled with bullets, blood gushing from the wounds in his body.

His breathing became difficult, his vision blurred, and his consciousness gradually faded. He finally fell to the ground...

"Ah!!" Lu Tai screamed and sat up straight in bed, drenched in cold sweat. The sunlight had already shone into the room. Lu Tai subconsciously touched his chest, then got up and walked to the sofa, picked up the water glass on the floor, and drank it in one gulp.

Lu Tai suddenly felt that it was very quiet outside. He immediately became alert. His hand touched the hilt of the knife at his waist, then he tiptoed to the door, perked up his ears, and listened to the sounds outside.

After a while, he slowly opened the door and stepped out, moving sideways. The entire monastery was very quiet, with only a few bird calls.

Lu Tai felt something was off. He suddenly took large strides and ran quickly to the church, which was still empty.

"Pekhovski, Pekhovski..." Lu Tai returned to the outside of the church and softly called out Pekhovski’s name.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whistling sound. "Zzz~" A bullet whizzed past Lu Tai’s side.

Lu Tai rolled on the ground. Just as he was about to throw a knife, several more whistling sounds came...

Lu Tai continued to dodge, leaping and darting towards the monastery gate. At this time, eight trained killers also chased after him.

The entire church was already under the control of the killers, and Pekhovski was nowhere to be seen. These killers were undoubtedly after Lu Tai, so they must have been sent by Sloan.

Facing so many top-notch killers at once, even Lu Tai would feel overwhelmed.

While dodging, he threw two flying knives, taking out two of them. But at the same time, a dense barrage of bullets flew towards him.

These killers were not much weaker than Fergus and Wesley. It was clear that Sloan had sent a large force, determined to take out Lu Tai this time.

"Thud thud!!" Lu Tai’s left leg was hit by two bullets, one in the calf and one in the thigh. "Ah!!" The excruciating pain made Lu Tai cry out. He gritted his teeth and ducked into a small warehouse by the roadside.

The killers followed him. The warehouse was dimly lit, and the killers cleverly opened the doors completely. Lu Tai was now half-kneeling behind a bale of hemp.

Blood kept gushing from his left leg. The killers had temporarily disabled his powerful leg! The killers didn’t rush into the warehouse recklessly. They knew Lu Tai’s strength, and if they went in foolishly, they would be killed by his flying knives. So, they quietly hid outside the warehouse door. They knew that Lu Tai was injured, and if they waited, the final victory would be theirs.

Was last night’s nightmare going to come true? Lu Tai hid in the corner, thinking. He believed this was the biggest crisis he had faced since entering the movie world!

Lu Tai didn’t dare to move. Any movement would bring a hail of bullets. He was already injured, and in the leg, so he couldn’t move as nimbly as before. The killers’ bullets seemed to bend... What should he do? Was he going to wait to die? Lu Tai knew that if he held on much longer, he would pass out from blood loss.

How could he have been so careless? He should have realized that saving Lawrence would be reported by the media and brought back to the United States, which would mean Sloan would know... Even if not, Wesley would eventually figure out Pekhovski’s monastery.

He shouldn’t have slept in the monastery last night...

But thinking about it now was useless. Lu Tai gritted his teeth and lifted his watch. He really wanted to draw the Type 99 tank this time! That way, a few shots could take out the remaining six bastards.

But along with the Type 99 tank came ten days of blindness and deafness. If he drew this, it would mean Lu Tai’s death.

This was not the time to take a gamble! Lu Tai shook his head, constantly reminding himself to stay calm, stay calm!!

What is the most important thing about the Flying Dagger? Lu Tai endured the pain, focused his mind, and meditated. If Li Xunhuan were in the same situation, what would he do?

He wouldn’t give up. He wouldn’t accept failure! The Flying Dagger is not just a weapon, but a spirit! A spirit of never giving up and surpassing oneself!

Lu Tai could sense that three killers were hiding on either side of the warehouse door. The walls of the warehouse were very thick, and Lu Tai couldn’t be sure that his flying knives could penetrate them, and even if they did, he couldn’t guarantee a kill. His eyes couldn’t see through the walls, so he couldn’t clearly see the exact position to strike.

But the warehouse door was open...

Lu Tai closed his eyes and took out two flying knives. The killers of the Assassin’s Guild could make bullets bend, why couldn’t he make the Flying Dagger bend?

Bullets bending sounds like a fairy tale. But why could these people do it? Because when they were trained, Sloan told them not to think that bullets only travel in a straight line. Only by believing in miracles can you create them!!

The most important thing is overcoming the psychological barrier!

That’s right!! Lu Tai held his breath, observed the entire small warehouse, and then made the biggest and most desperate move since entering the movie world!!
