So, when they arrived, the first agent guiding Liu Xi had already been surrounded and killed by the combined attack of Feng Wuqing, Shi Jian'en, and another!

Successfully taking out an SIA agent was like a reassuring assurance for Liu Xi and his team. At least they had something to report back to Queen, redeeming their sins, and this boost in their confidence was immense! What about SIA's assassination agents? What if there were many of them? As long as they coordinated well with their partners, they could be taken out one by one!

The confidence brought by victory kept them from leaving; instead, they chose to guard the corpse and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Indeed, they came, but it wasn't so smooth. The other agents did arrive but weren't scattered and disorganized. They waited for a few others to join and then entered together. Realizing afterward that the previously killed agent wasn't just there to examine the corpse, they covered their tracks and watched for potential hidden enemies lurking nearby.

So, everyone remained in the dark, not revealing themselves. Though the three of them fired their guns, they couldn't secure further accomplishments. Due to their dispersed positions, their gunfire posed a significant threat, and the environment made those arriving first feel like they were facing numerous familiar enemies. Reluctantly, they reported and requested reinforcements.

The commander didn't personally go to the scene. Hearing that one had died, and the opponent had multiple numbers and geographical advantages, several called for reinforcements, immediately prompting a new analysis—Julian's stealth bodyguard team had similar intentions to scatter and eliminate the agents. If they dared to attack as a form of defense, of course, they should be eradicated. Perhaps now they're concentrated in that street park, and dispatching agents might just trap them all! Plus, they must act swiftly while those on-site can hold them back!

Thus, gradually, dozens of people rushed to the street park at the fastest speed. With so many people, a gunfight would cause a significant impact even if it wasn't in a downtown area. So, they immediately arranged for someone to purchase fireworks and hire people to set them off from nearby rooftops.

...

Originally anticipated as a fierce battle, it ended up being nearly a carpet blockade that cornered Liu Xi and his team to the center. Agents discovered it was merely a few people with a few guns, and they had an overwhelming advantage. They found the deployment excessive, making a mountain out of a molehill, but still, when the three reached the center rockery, they formed a mutual angle, not worrying about their backs, enduring stubbornly!

Deploying so many agents for a few bodyguards, their advantages couldn't fully manifest in this environment. The prolonged attack was already frustrating the agents greatly, and finally, when the fireworks sounded, they no longer hesitated and began a concentrated fire. At this point, they knew the few individuals at the rockery were low on ammunition. Most provided cover fire while a few others started charging forward.

In that brief moment, everyone's focus was on the center rockery, and most had become agitated. As Li Yan and the Rocana MM moved in, they eliminated two in the path ahead and two near the center without attracting too much attention. Only when he flared with killing intent did it draw the notice of a few alert agents. But it was just two of them, and one was shot dead by Li Yan shortly afterward.

With the sound of fireworks booming then, covert agents surrounding them began to focus their fire on the center without much mind toward Li Yan's two shots.

When Rocana MM and Li Yan moved separately, the agitated agents didn't realize there were more formidable adversaries in the dark, having already forced the bodyguards to the center. This gave Li Yan a considerable advantage, fully exploiting his speed trait, executing silent throat slits, lunging to stab directly through necks—all using knives. Targets perceived unreachable with a single cut from trees or similar spots were handled with guns.

Minutes later, Li Yan vaguely recalled having dealt with eighteen, but he didn't advance further, as not only had the fireworks stopped, the gunfire ceased too. No one around was firing anymore, and a strange new atmosphere emerged. He could vaguely sense a few powerful murderous presences lurking in the dark shade ahead.

Undoubtedly, others had been divided between Rocana MM and other assassins!

Everyone wanted to reap the benefits; Rocana Rose had similar intentions. She even agreed with Li Yan to share the spoils evenly. But how the final profit would be distributed still depended on personal action; they could only say the opportunity was shared equally. With results visible now, Li Yan achieved the greatest triumph. Surely Rocana MM and the other two unknown S-Class assassins could infer this. Thus, at this point, Li Yan could become their target!

Indeed, six people took up this task; they were allies yet in direct competition. Tonight's battle severely depleted Si Country's strength, even if there had been a hundred agents, more than half were lost. So for them as allies, the enemy pressure isn't as significant anymore, and the share they might grab among themselves was dwindling.
