Chapter 69 Peak Showdown
Chapter 70 Peak Showdown
According to Gin's request, I came to the back door of the third floor, which was my original cold weapon throwing training ground. I rarely came here since I went on a solo mission. Now I entered here again. My purpose was to settle accounts with Gin and let him know who he could mess with and who he couldn't mess with!
As I stepped out of the elevator, my heart was lifted up, and my whole body was 100% focused. Who knows if Gin will shoot a sneak attack as soon as the elevator door opens. Turning two boxes, I saw Gin sitting on the sofa in the lounge area with a cigar in his mouth. Even with the black hat covering it, Gin's hideous face could not be hidden.

"IceWine, I didn't expect you to have the guts to come here." Seeing me coming, Gin's face became even more ferocious.

"Hmph. Since you're going to give me a death lesson, why wouldn't I come?" I smiled wickedly, bending my arms slightly, and tensing my muscles, ready to draw my gun at the first opportunity.

"Hehe, you have the guts! But IceWine, I'm really confused." Gin said with a sinister smile. "What on earth made you so brave to attack me?"

"The reason? There is only one. You touched someone you shouldn't have touched!"

"Someone you shouldn't touch? Sherry?" Gin's expression became a little distorted. "What does that woman have to do with you? So what if I touched her!"

"Hmph. You want to put your hands on my woman. Gin, you are not qualified!"

"Your woman!?" Gin's eyes flashed with anger. "Are you saying Sherry is your woman?"

"Haha. Gin. It seems that you are really ignorant." I saw Gin's expression and laughed proudly. "That's right. She has been my woman for several years. So, Gin. You have to pay the price for your behavior today!"

"Hmph. Interesting. It seems that you have been doing very well in this base during the years I was abroad. It was my mistake. I didn't expect that in this base where all members are like puppets, you could get so close to a woman without being discovered. Hmph. But it's all useless!" Gin's smile turned cold.

"Whether she is your woman or not, I have already set my eyes on her now, and she will be mine from now on!" Gin's expression became extremely ferocious.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Gin, according to your age, you should be over 30 this year, right?" I said with a mocking smile. "Humph, an old cow eating young grass, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth!"

"Hahaha. You are such a sharp-tongued brat!" Gin laughed arrogantly. "I told you that it is not your turn to meddle in my affairs. Now I give you two choices. Either give up that woman and kowtow to me to apologize. Or I will make you lie on the ground forever and never stand up again!" Gin released his murderous aura, and the whole training ground seemed to be covered with a layer of frost because of Gin's cold murderous aura.

"Hmph." I snorted disdainfully. "Stop bragging. In this case, I can only choose the third path I have opened up. Kill you! I will put an end to all future troubles!" As I finished speaking, my own murderous aura mixed with powerful momentum gushed out.

Without saying anything extra, I took out a smoke bomb from my necklace and threw it at Gin. Gin also reacted very quickly and took out a smoke bomb as well. The two smoke bombs collided in the air and fell in the middle of the venue.

boom! ! !
Along with the smoke, two different guns and two different bullets were ejected from the gun barrels at the same time. One on the left and one on the right. Gin and I jumped away at the same time. The peak duel between the two gold medals began from this moment!
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

boom! ! !
The second gunshot was fired at the same time. The bullets pierced through my and Gin's windbreakers. If it were five years ago, I might have died under Gin's gun, but five years later, at the age of seventeen, I was already in my prime. Add to that the experience of more than ten years in my previous life. Having lived through two lives, my current abilities are only better than Gin's.

I looked at the bullet hole at the end of the windbreaker and frowned slightly. The first attack was over. Before the smoke from the smoke bomb dispersed, neither Gin nor I could determine the position of the other party. But I am better than Gin in one aspect. That is the sound listening skill. After several years of training, my sound listening skill has reached the point of virtualization. I adjusted my breathing. I closed my eyes. I magnified the sound listening skill to the extreme. In my mind, a 3D grid-like stereoscopic image slowly emerged. In this image, I was squatting behind the box near the door, and Gin's approximate position was behind the farthest box at a 45-degree angle to my upper right. Although it was very faint, there was also the hissing sound of the smoke bomb. But I could still feel Gin's heartbeat that was accelerating due to his concentration. After sensing the position. My tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. I took a step to the right and avoided the blind spot of the box. I fired three shots at Gin's position. The first shot went straight to Gin's heart. The other two shots were predicted in two directions, one on the left and one on the right. No matter which direction Gin dodges, the bullet will hit his heart! With the penetrating power of the Desert Eagle bullet, even through the box, there is no way to block it. Not to mention after the blind spot is opened.

But Gin is indeed a well-known figure in the assassin world. Although he cannot hear the heartbeat of the opponent like me, he has mastered the trajectory of the bullet to perfection. After I fired the first shot, Gin reacted. He instinctively dodged to the left. After hearing the sound of the next two shots, Gin had already determined my position. He fired three shots in a row. The bullets attacked me as if they were set to track. Feeling the cold threat, I immediately stopped my forward steps and leaned back hard. Two bullets passed by my eyes quickly.

Ding! Dada!

Three different sounds rang out. It turned out that Gin's three shots also had a purpose. For the first shot, Gin determined the trajectory. His Beretta bullet actually collided with the bullet I predicted to the left. The next two bullets were predicted to go in the direction I was running. If I hadn't reacted quickly to avoid the two predicted bullets, there would be an empty bloody hole on my forehead and heart.

I returned to the place where I had just landed. I restrained my own breath so that Gin could not easily determine my location.

"That's amazing, IceWine." Gin's cold voice came from the other end of the training ground. "I didn't expect you could find my position in this situation. I do admire you for that. But don't forget. I also have my advantages."

"Hmph! If you want to entice me to talk, just say it! Why are you talking so much nonsense!" I said coldly. The moment I finished speaking, I rushed out again to the right side of my body. Sure enough, a gunshot was heard at the place where I just stood, and a puff of green smoke appeared on the ground without stopping. I also threw a bullet towards the place where the gunshot came from. But there was only a muffled "bang". It seems that this bullet missed. Gin is indeed a cautious killer. He immediately withdrew after one strike. He never dragged his feet.

"Hahaha, you actually spoke, it seems that you are still impatient." Gin's laughter reached my ears. "Now, let me tell you about my advantages." Gin walked out of the blind spot of the box and stood on the empty field. If it weren't for the smoke now. From where I am, I can clearly see Gin's position.

"Although your Desert Eagle is powerful, it only has 7 bullets. My Beretta has 15. Now we have each fired six shots. You still have one bullet left. So, what are you going to do after you use up this bullet? Do you think I will give you a chance to change bullets?"

boom! !

I didn't give Gin a chance to talk nonsense. The Desert Eagle in my hand spewed out a burning flame again. The bullet flew towards Gin quickly. Gin also turned to the left after hearing the sound of the bullet, and another bullet was fired at me. The two bullets crossed each other again and hit the stone wall behind us.

"The seventh one!" Gin said with a hint of ferocity and excitement. "You have run out of bullets. Humph. Don't let me hear you changing bullets. Otherwise you will die!" After saying that, Gin actually walked towards me step by step. I ignored Gin's words. I stood behind the box and waited silently. Waiting for him to be close enough to me.

Time passed by, and the smoke in the training ground gradually dissipated as time passed. "Look. The smoke is gradually dissipating. So, IceWine, how are you going to dodge my remaining 8 bullets next!"

boom! !

When the smoke cleared, Gin shot at me. I instinctively dodged to the left, and my entire body was instantly exposed to Gin's sight.

"Hmph. It's over! IceWine!"

boom! ! !
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"It's over! IceWine!"

boom! ! !
Just as Gin finished speaking, a gunshot like an explosion reached our ears. Then we heard a "sizzle" sound, which was the unique sound of a bullet piercing the skin. Scarlet blood sprayed out along the black windbreaker.

"How can it be!"

Gin hid behind the box again, looking at the wound on his arm in disbelief. The sudden bullet made him panic.

"How is this possible! How is it possible that you still have bullets, and with this trajectory... you can shoot with your left hand!?"

"Humph. How is that possible?" I took another step to the left and hid in the corner of the box again. "Maybe I forgot to tell you." I laughed coldly. "Since you went to the United States, how much do you know about me? How could you know that after you left, all my guns were dual-wielded, and how could I not shoot with my left hand!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Gin's position changed again. Then there were three bursts of shots. Just like the beginning, one shot hit the target, and two shots were predicted. At the moment Gin moved, I also jumped to the right again. The Desert Eagle in my left hand also fired three shots at Gin.

Ding ding! Da.

It was more accurate than the last three bursts, and this time the two bullets collided with each other. I hid behind the box on the left and frowned slightly. It seemed that the previous shot did not hit the vital part. It must be Gin's many years of experience as a killer that allowed him to twist his body at the most critical moment and avoid the fatal shot that was sprayed towards the heart.

Hiss. Hiss. Hiss.

When I was wondering, the sound of spraying was heard. I couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha. Gin, I didn't expect you to use the rapid hemostatic agent in a life-and-death duel. It seems that this is all you can do!" As soon as I finished speaking, I dodged to the right again. At the same time, I fired a shot at the place where the spraying sound was heard. Similarly, Gin also fired a shot. The duel between two masters is like this. A slight mistake will cause irreparable losses. Therefore, even if I tempt Gin to get angry like this, I must always pay attention to the bullets flying towards me from Gin's side. The bullets of both sides were empty again. Gin's angry voice came immediately. "Humph. You can be proud of it! It's not that I haven't been injured in all these years, but it's the first time I've been injured by a young boy like you who hasn't even reached adulthood!" After being angry, Gin turned around and rushed towards me, shooting at my position. I should have had the opportunity to attack, but I didn't expect Gin to turn back in advance. Two bullets came at me at a high speed, and my body had already rushed out, and I couldn't avoid it! Without any time to hesitate, I did a somersault and fired two bullets.

Ding! puff!
One bullet collided. Another bullet. Hit each of us in the leg.

Just like that, in a training ground filled with grocery boxes, in a wide aisle, two people knelt on one knee, panting at the same time. A deep bloody scratch was left on the right leg of Gin and me. The blood flowed down the pants, staining the sand under our feet red. In our hands, the muzzles of the two guns were always pointed at each other.

"Humph! IceWine, I have to admit that you do have extraordinary talent." Gin sneered at me with the black muzzle of the gun. "You are the first person who can fight me to the point of both of us being injured. And you are still an underage boy!"

"Tsk, Gin. You have to know that although you are at your prime age, you have met me, who is known as a genius!" I also looked at him coldly, with the Desert Eagle in my hand constantly aimed at Gin's brow.

"Haha. You are worthy of being the Ice Devil. It was my mistake to underestimate you. But you still can't beat me!" At this point, Gin sneered again. His smile was very inappropriate and ferocious.

"In the exchange of fire just now, I fired 14 shots in total, and so did you. Even if you were dual wielding, I still beat you by one bullet. Since both of us were injured in the legs, you had to throw your whole body out to avoid the bullets. But once you throw yourself out, how could you possibly be faster than me in reloading!" Gin laughed grimly. "So, the final victory will still belong to me, and your woman will also be mine!"

"Haha. Gin. How many times do you want me to tell you? You are an old cow eating young grass. Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?" I fought back against Gin mercilessly. This sentence angered Gin again.

"Hmph. Fine. You still dare to speak so arrogantly at this point! You will die here!" Gin said, pulling the trigger fiercely. The bullet seemed to cut through the air and flew towards me rapidly. At the moment Gin fired, I pushed hard with my left leg and rushed to the right. The bullet grazed my hair and nailed to the wall behind me.

Seeing me rushing out, Gin quickly took out a new magazine and loaded it into the Beretta.

Click. Bang!!!

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

With this last gunshot, the entire training ground fell silent.

"It's over." A cold voice was heard in the empty training ground.

"Why!" An unwilling voice then sounded.

"Why... why do you still have bullets!" Gin's voice was still cold, but now I could clearly hear the confusion, unwillingness, surprise, and deep fear in his words.

Yes, the last shot was not the sixteenth bullet fired by Gin after he changed the magazine, but the fifteenth bullet fired by me. At this moment, I was lying on the ground, the Desert Eagle in my left hand was still pointing at Gin. The wound that was pierced by the dagger a few days ago had already broken, and drops of scarlet blood dripped down my wrist. The Desert Eagle in my right hand hung on the side of my body, and white smoke was still coming out of the muzzle. Gin's Beretta was shot away by me just after he had loaded a new magazine and had not had time to aim at me. At this moment, the Beretta was three steps away from Gin. But he knew that I would never give him a chance to pick up the gun. Under Gin's surprised face, I walked towards him step by step. The blood on my legs also dripped onto the ground along my trouser legs.

"Why. How could you still have bullets!" Gin's voice was full of confusion.

"Hmph. Why?" A devilish smile appeared on my lips. "Don't you know that I have a habit every time I go on a mission? That is to put an extra bullet in the gun! Especially when facing you. Gin! After playing with guns for so many years, I certainly know that your Beretta has 15 bullets. I will use the Desert Eagle to deal with you. It is because my gun does not have 14 bullets, but 16! All this is to keep one more bullet than you!" With a declaration of victory, I approached Gin step by step.

"Could it be that you set this up from the beginning?" Gin's voice trembled. "Humph! IceWine, you are amazing. But I don't believe you dare to shoot. In this base, I am the boss. Everything here is decided by me!" As he said that, Gin's long-accumulated cold murderous aura attacked me like a bullet.

"Idiot. Do you think that your few words and your weak murderous aura can break my will?" I pressed the muzzle of the gun against Gin's forehead, and the murderous aura around me erupted. Compared with Gin's murderous aura that was like a bullet, my murderous aura seemed to hit Gin's will like a tsunami.

"How... How is it possible?" Gin's pupils suddenly contracted. After being pointed at his head by a gun, he was also hit by my terrible murderous aura. At this moment, Gin was really scared. Because he knew that if I wanted to, I would definitely put the bullet into his head at the last moment.

"Gin, your biggest mistake is that you don't know me well enough, the 'cold-blooded archon' of the base. Do you think I, known as the 'ice devil', am worse than you? Indeed. I have nearly ten years less experience than you. But you have to understand that age is not the criterion for measuring everything. Today I will let you know that there are some people you can afford to mess with, and some you can't!"

boom! ! !
I could feel Gin's heartbeat suddenly stop, and the cold murderous aura just now was also dispersed at the moment I shot. He was really scared. At the moment I shot, I believe he could clearly feel the loom of death.

The bullet spurted out, and as the bullet penetrated, Gin's black hat, which he had never taken off, was shot away by me. His long golden hair fell on Gin's face full of fear, making him look miserable.

That's right. I didn't kill Gin. When I fired the last shot, I raised the muzzle of the gun and shot his hat off close to his scalp. Although I didn't kill him, it was enough, enough to leave an indelible and powerful shock to Gin.

The hair on my forehead blocked my right eye, leaving my left eye, which was emitting amethyst, staring coldly at Gin, who was already scared to death. "Gin, thank yourself. Thank you for voting against me when I chose the mission that day. Although I don't know why. But today, your life is saved because of the correct choice at that time." I put down the gun and said to Gin coldly. But Gin's expression remained unchanged. The pupils that were full of murderous intent in the past also lost their focus at this moment.

"You...what did you say?"

"I won't say it again. From today on, you have to remember that we are done for. If you have any more thoughts about Sherry, the next time you do it will be your death!" I ignored Gin and walked out of the training ground. The injury on my leg didn't seem to affect me at all.

Watching me leave, Gin's eyes full of reluctance gradually regained focus. He was relieved to have escaped death. He cast his vote against that day only at Vermouth's strong request. In other words, it was Vermouth who saved him this time, not him. Although the duel was over. But watching my back as I left, Gin's expression became cold again. He was unwilling to lose to a kid who had just debuted, especially since he had brought this kid up in the beginning. This unwillingness made Gin reach for the gun that had just fallen beside him. The murderous aura spread again.

Whoosh. Puff!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh rang out. Scarlet blood instantly spurted out. Gin's pupils contracted again. A huge pain instantly attacked his will.

"Gin! Do you really want to die?" Angry words accompanied by boundless murderous intent attacked Gin. Not long after I turned around, I felt that Gin's murderous intent that had been dispersed was vaguely gathered again. I thought Gin wanted to attack me. But how could I give him a chance? Turning back and swinging, the SAS dagger was nailed hard into Gin's hand that was trying to grab the gun.

"You!!" Gin's voice was full of confusion. "How many tricks do you have?"

"Hmph. I'm going to use my methods against you. Even if you have ten lives, it won't be enough to pay you back!" I said. I replaced the magazine on the Desert Eagle. I aimed it at Gin. I pressed it against his forehead. Actually, this is not an exaggeration. In addition to the dagger I just threw, I still have two Magnums in my necklace that haven't been revealed. What's more, there are various sniper rifles and button bombs. Each of them can take Gin's life.

"Gin. I don't kill you not because I'm afraid of you. If it weren't for Sister Bei, you would be dead now!" The angry voice rushed into Gin's ears fiercely.

"What did you say? That woman? What does this have to do with Vermouth!" There was a hint of concentration in Gin's eyes that were full of despair.

"Hmph. Go ask her yourself! Gin, I originally thought it would be best for us to keep out of each other's way, but now it seems that this is not the case. Remember, from today on, you owe me a life. Don't let me see you getting close to Sherry again, otherwise even Vermouth can't save you!" Without hesitation, I hit Gin hard with the butt of the Desert Eagle. In an instant, scarlet blood spurted out, and a deep scar that could be seen on the bone was left on Gin's forehead forever. "This is my last warning to you! If it happens again, I don't mind blowing your head off!" After my outburst of anger, I no longer looked at Gin's face that was filled with hatred, pain, and unwillingness. I turned around and left the training ground. Gin was left sitting there in a daze.

As I left, this peak showdown came to an end. After I left, in the elevator, I was still thinking about whether it was right to let Gin go today.

In the original painting, Vermouth was deeply in love with Gin, but Gin ignored her. I can understand that Gin was interested in Shiho. I remember that there was a scene in the original work of 73 that I still remember. When Gin thought about Shiho, the back of Shirley with red fruits all over her body appeared in his mind. Although the mystery left by 73 was not solved when I left that world. But at this moment, I understand everything. Gin in the original painting does have some relationship with Shiho. And the reason for all this is probably because of the original IceWine. Because of his existence, Shiho sought Gin's protection, and the price of that protection... However, fortunately, my appearance changed the plot, which is also the best proof that I killed the dark world that Shiho feared in the bud in advance.

"I hope letting Gin go this time won't be a wrong choice. Sister Bei, this time you can consider it as repaying the favor I owed you for deceiving you and rescuing Jingliu." Sighing slightly, I walked out of the elevator and slowly walked towards my room.

ps: I was so busy with my graduation project recently that I had a high fever for three consecutive days... It’s terrible... A gift for the Dragon Boat Festival, a super long story, I hope you like it.
