Chapter 192: Confrontation

Vermouth, who was leaning on the table with her arms and barely maintaining a half-kneeling posture, stared at the figure who pushed the door open, and was extremely alert.

"Who are you?"

Chianti, who collapsed on the ground, still retained consciousness. She raised her head slightly, looked at the figure who came in, and asked loudly.

At the same time, she tightened her right hand holding the dagger.

However, the other party did not answer at all.

Vermouth saw that after the man walked in, he stepped directly on the middle part of Chianti's right forearm which was holding the dagger.

The other foot stepped roughly on Chianti's head.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

The man's behavior made Chianti very angry, but her right forearm was stepped on by the other party and she could not move at all.

The next moment.

Chianti's head had been adjusted to the right position, but the man raised his foot again and stepped heavily on his neck.

The carotid artery was compressed, and an intense fear of death instantly struck Chianti's heart.

This person really wants to kill himself? !

She began to struggle violently.

However, how could Chianti, who had already suffered poisoning symptoms after being exposed to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide for a long time, have the strength to resist?

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Blocking blood flow to the carotid arteries causes a lack of oxygen to the brain.

The vagal reflex causes the heart rate to drop suddenly.

In less than five seconds, Chianti lost consciousness.

Then, the man kept his foot on Chianti's neck, bent down and pulled off the veil on Chianti's face.

Chianti's face, which was always heavily made up, was exposed without reservation.

"He's going to kill Chianti?!"

From the man's clean and neat movements without any hesitation after he came in, Vermouth felt a strong murderous intent.

She noticed.

Even after Chianti lost consciousness, the opponent still had no intention of retracting his feet.

Compression of the carotid artery can do more than just cause brain hypoxia and loss of consciousness.

If the other party stepped on him the way he was, Chianti would probably suffer a cardiac arrest in less than a minute, and his life would be in danger.

Vermouth didn't know who the person in front of her was.

Her first reaction was that the other party was here to save Sera Masumi.

However, after Vermouth witnessed what the other party did when he entered Kunio Koizumi's room, this idea was quickly dispelled.

The person in front of him

had a completely different personality from that of Masumi Sera, who clearly had the ability to kick the head but always deliberately adjusted the angle to kick non-vital parts.

There was no trace of kindness in the other party's behavior, and his methods were so cruel that there was not even a trace of detective at all.

From the moment the other party chose hydrogen sulfide, they were destined to launch an indiscriminate attack, without any regard for the lives of Sera Masumi or even others.

The next moment, Vermouth saw the man slowly raise his head and look at her.

From the other party's deep blue eyes, Vermouth read the murderous intent.

Not only Chianti, but the other party also wanted to kill him!

Not to mention that the moment the other party entered the room, he was destined to be his enemy.

Even Chianti, who was considered useless in Vermouth's eyes, was a core member of the organization with a code name. It would not be acceptable if he was killed by someone whose identity he had no idea about.

Vermouth used force with her right hand and right leg at the same time, propped her body up, and rushed towards the man from her original half-kneeling position.

She swung her foot out, kicking at the head of the man who was still applying pressure to Chianti's carotid artery.

The man just leaned back slightly and avoided Vermouth's kick.

Although Vermouth's attack did not hit, the man inevitably loosened his feet on Chianti's neck and arms while dodging.

'What a quick response.'

Vermouth thought to herself.

Vermouth, who is able to suppress Masumi Sera in close combat, naturally has much stronger physical fitness than ordinary people.

Although long-term exposure to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide also caused Vermouth to show symptoms of poisoning.

But the force and speed of the kick she just threw out were still terrifying.

The man actually dodged his attack just like that, it was obvious that his skills were quite good.

Just when Vermouth was still thinking in her heart whether she could defeat the opponent in a short time,

she saw the man raise his foot again and slammed on Chianti's right palm.

With the crisp sound of broken bones, the dagger that Chianti was holding in his hand and was tilted upward relative to the ground suddenly bounced into the air.

The dagger flashed with cold light and spun rapidly in the air.

The moment the dagger flew to chest height, the opponent stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

When Vermouth saw this scene, her heart sank instantly.

Just by looking at the extremely smooth and silky movements of the person opposite her, she knew that the other person's skills were definitely not bad.

"If we can't kill the opponent immediately, it will be dangerous to continue to be exposed to hydrogen sulfide."

The desire to continue fighting with the opponent in Vermouth's mind was greatly reduced.

Now that the laptop is in our possession, the important thing is to take the Chianti and the computer away.

Vermouth turned her head to look at the table beside her. Just as she was about to reach out for the computer, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the person opposite throwing something at her.

She quickly dodged backwards, and then saw a dagger passing by her eyes.

Having dodged the dagger, Vermouth reached out towards the computer again, but the mysterious man who had been standing there all of a sudden rushed over.

'He doesn't want me to get the computer?!'

Vermouth realized the other party's intention almost instantly.

She didn't think it was a coincidence that the other party stopped her from getting the computer twice in a row.

The mysterious man's high kick came in an instant.

After Vermouth dodged again,

Then he quickly stretched out his arm to block the opponent's high kick towards his right cheek.

A strong pain came from her arm, but the physical pain was completely unable to cover up the turmoil in Vermouth's heart at this moment.

'Jeet Kune Do?!'

How familiar is the kicking skill of this person in front of me?

It was exactly the same move as the one used by Masumi Sera whom she had fought not long ago!

Vermouth clearly realized that the man in front of her didn't care about Masumi Sera's life or death, but was coming towards them.

But the Jeet Kune Do used by the opponent at this moment caused Vermouth to feel extremely confused.

However, before she could think about it, a sharp pain suddenly rose in her abdomen.

——Vermouth was distracted for just a moment before being hit in the abdomen by the opponent's fist.

Vermouth groaned.

She suddenly felt her stomach churning, and her already dizzy brain became even heavier.

At this moment, the man's other hand had already pulled out the dagger that he had just thrown out, which was now stuck in the wallpaper on the wall.

After retracting his left fist that had hit Vermouth's abdomen, the man's right hand, which was holding the dagger, was already slashing towards Vermouth's neck.

Faced with this continuous attack like a storm, Vermouth had no time to react and had to stretch out her arms to block again.

The sharp dagger easily cut through the clothes, skin and muscles of her arm, and bright red blood immediately gushed out like a tide.
