The air in the room froze right away. Only Eva and Antoni had no clue.
Because they knew that if Alex wanted, he could take the gun from this slave anytime.
The two didn't know the boss's plan and didn't dare to act rash. They'd done many tasks together. It was rare for Alex to be a hostage on his own. So they could only wait and see.
In the control room, the quiet Annie held the laptop in her arms and asked in a low voice, "Is this our undercover guy? Why doesn't he resist?"
David couldn't answer her 'cause he didn't understand the situation either!
Could it be that when he was greeting a few naughty kids just now, they made some new plans?
And Alex, who was the focus of everyone at the moment, was raising his arms high and turning his back to the slave obediently. Just after turning and standing still, he turned his face a bit and asked, "So your purpose of coming here is to hold me hostage? Carlo, this isn't how you do things."
Carlo's hand holding the gun paused and moved the muzzle to the back of Alex's head, saying to the smuggler, "Tell your guys to step aside right now. Now!"
Alex was half a head taller than Carlo. While carefully controlling the strong hostage in front of him, he was thinking.
Why does this person know his name? He'd deceived everyone, including the smuggler. Why was he recognized by this person?
Did they know each other before? Why didn't he have any memory!
Carlo had a bad feeling. If he couldn't deal with this person in front of him, his mission might fail.
While he was thinking, the "hostage" in front of him suddenly swung his neck fast and then turned around sharply.
Carlo's reaction was very sharp, but the other person was even faster. Before his body could react, the gun in his hand was easily taken away by Alex.
Carlo quickly crouched down to avoid possible attacks. At the same time, he pulled out an elegant pistol from his short boots. When Alex precisely aimed the submachine gun at his forehead, he aimed at Alex's eyes.
The two were in a standoff with guns and neither of them spoke.
The smuggler was held hostage by Eva and walked behind. His men were hesitant and didn't know whether their gun muzzles should be aimed at Alex or Carlo, or at Eva who was holding their boss hostage...
A group of people had retreated to the exit of the convenience store. The dilapidated light sign was still flickering and looked like it was about to fall down any moment.
Carlo looked at Alex's deep ocean-like eyes through the light. It seemed that there was an underground volcano about to erupt hidden inside, ready to burst through the restraint of the sea water anytime and flood him with hot magma.
It was also at this moment that Carlo faced him face to face at close range and realized that this guy was even more aggressive than he seemed.
Not only was he taller than himself, but he also had great strength and a sharp reaction. Even his appearance was very outstanding.
Carlo thought inappropriately: God must have been in a good mood when creating him to give him so many advantages!
After all, in the moment of the confrontation just now, he had already experienced the other person's strength and speed. He should be the most dangerous one among the people he'd met.
Even in the law-of-the-jungle Mafia, it would be hard to find someone stronger than him.
Therefore, Carlo could only tense up all the muscles in his body and be ready to act.
While he was in a standoff with Alex, he observed the surrounding area with his peripheral vision.
And just when he was very alert, Alex took another step forward towards his gun muzzle.
"Who taught you how to use a gun? Did you learn it before I knew you? Was hiding in my car when being hunted and drugged also your careful plan? Just like you disguising as a slave today! Carlo, tell me, did you sleep with me back then because you enjoyed it or for the mission!"
While Alex was asking, he kept approaching Carlo. By the time he finished asking, his gaze had completely cooled down and the volcano suppressed inside was ready to burst out.
Carlo retreated warily. His fingers tightened and his fingertips were on the trigger as a warning, "If you come any closer, I'll kill you!"
Alex looked at him and suddenly smiled naturally, "You still haven't answered my question! Let me guess. Maybe you already knew how to handle a gun. Maybe you even thought about killing me directly at that time, but you couldn't get away smoothly 'cause I f****d you so hard that you couldn't get out of bed, right?"
He paused and then muttered self-mockingly, "Even your name was told to me when you were about to climax, Carlo. You're really mysterious!"
Carlo was somewhat angry at his accusations. Damn it, you could call my name as soon as we met. I don't even know who you are. Who's more mysterious!
But when his gaze passed by Antoni, his heart suddenly moved. He looked at Alex and said, "I have no conflict with the special forces. We're not enemies. Why don't we both take a step back?"
"You really know my identity!" As he said that, Alex's expression gradually turned cold, "Whether we're enemies or not isn't up to you! Carlo, I'll give you two choices now. Put down the gun and come with me, or get beaten up and come with me!"
Antoni, who was ready to support at the side, blinked upon hearing this.
No wonder the boss hasn't had any bed partners for so many years. It turns out he slept with such a great one! He seemed to have discovered a huge secret!
Carlo really wanted to curse at this moment. This i***t!
Who the hell slept with him! And even told him his name when being f****d?
The reason why he knew his identity was because over the years of doing tasks, he had fought against the military countless times. Special existences like special forces were of course his focus.
The photos of the man who came with him wearing camouflage and doing tasks were still in his computer documents. Coupled with the unique auras of these three people, how could he not guess his identity!
He didn't want to explain, but he also didn't want to fight with three special forces closely.
But rationally, he also knew that the person in front of him might not be lying... Not only because he knew his name, but also because the domineering look when giving the choices seemed somewhat familiar, but he just couldn't remember...
This made Carlo very frustrated.
He was a very smart person and could remember everything he saw. But looking through his memories, he still couldn't remember where he had met this person before and... been f****d!
The moment Carlo was distracted due to frustration, Alex once again lifted his leg and approached him. But at this moment, Carlo was already very tense. Coupled with the anxiety in his heart and the instinctive reaction to danger, he directly pulled the trigger. The gunshot resounded in the night at the entrance of the dilapidated convenience store.
The bullet grazed Alex's cheek, leaving a bloodstain on his face.
And Alex just tilted his head slightly and his body didn't move.
With his keen reaction ability, Alex was already aware of the danger before Carlo was about to shoot, but he didn't dodge.
Or rather, he trusted his dangerous intuition but didn't believe Carlo would shoot him.
Touching the blood beads on his face with his fingers, Alex looked at Carlo, his expression very ugly.
"I warned you that if you came any closer, I would kill you." Carlo looked at the bloodstain and was also very irritable.
His words caused Alex's eyes to freeze for a few seconds. Then a hint of hard-to-detect loneliness slipped through those pale blue eyes but quickly disappeared.
Then his expression darkened. His right leg exerted force suddenly and his whole body leaped into the air, like the most agile leopard in the forest. His speed was so fast that it was hard to catch.
Carlo sensed his movement and fired again.
But this time, before he fired, Alex, using the rebound from the convenience store wall, had already swept his long leg, kicking Carlo's wrist directly and kicking the gun away.
Carlo quickly crossed his upper arms to block, took several steps back and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
The pistol he pulled the trigger on was kicked away. The bullet that was fired hit the light sign, causing a series of crackling sparks. The light became flickering and unstable, making Alex look even more fierce and terrifying.
Carlo felt the pain in his wrist and the discomfort in his internal organs caused by the huge shock. He looked at the person in front of him fearfully and chills spread throughout his body.
He didn't kick him just now, only his arm!
But both his arms were already numb!
"It seems you chose the second option! But, Carlo, I don't want to hurt you, so don't force me to use violence against you again. You should know that in terms of strength, you're no match for me."
Carlo's silver-white long hair, which was neatly arranged by the smuggler, became messy due to this confrontation. Even a strand flew directly to his light pink lips, making him look even more charming in the night.
Alex's gaze slid from his lips to his Adam's apple, paused and assured in a slightly hoarse voice, "As long as you're obedient, I won't hurt you again."
Carlo felt the pain in his body and tried to calm himself down, quickly thinking of various countermeasures in his mind.
"OK, you're right!" Carlo shrugged and tried to relax his whole body, "I choose to follow your suggestion, but I have one request."
"Say it."
Carlo put his hands in his pockets, walked up to Alex, looked up and said, "I can't beat you now 'cause there's a knife wound in my lower belly. It happened after being tied up here. So - "
"I can kill him! But it has to wait until the questioning is over."
Carlo's eyes showed scorn. He took his right hand out of his pocket, raised his index finger and shook it in front of Alex, saying, "I'll get my revenge myself. But I think I need a doctor now."
Alex frowned when he heard about the injury. Now when he heard Carlo say he needed a doctor, his eyes automatically fell on Carlo's abdomen, and his tone had concern that he didn't notice himself.
"Is it serious? Didn't they treat you?"
Carlo was a little shorter than him and could clearly see his eyes.
That gaze, was it concern?
He... Was he really concerned about my injury?
In the world where Carlo grew up, no one had ever shown such an emotion towards him, so he wasn't sure.
But this person just said he would beat him up!
So now that he saw that he wasn't resisting, was he going to confuse him with emotions? Huh!
