I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2735: Chapter 2736: Take You Home

At this moment, the Huaqi Hotel was silent and still.

If a passerby saw this scene, they would surely think it was closed for the day.

Little did they know, what was about to take place here would be a transaction unlike any other.

Inside the hotel, every spot was guarded closely, not even a fly could get through.

In addition, there was a 360-degree surveillance setup, inspected multiple times, ensuring no blind spots.

The location for the transaction was chosen not only for its geographical benefits but also because it was private property.

If an official location were chosen, any explosion would have negative repercussions.

Inside one of the hotel’s presidential suites, all the windows were tightly sealed, letting no light in.

Gerard, with a cigar in his mouth, sat on the sofa, his face void of expression.

Beside him stood two people, like statues guarding him.

The room was spacious, at least over 100 square meters.

Besides the sofa and coffee table, there was a large area for movement.

But current conditions saw the room filled with people, counting to a total of eighteen.

These people’s states were terrible, adorned with injuries all over.

Ning Che slumped in their midst.

Blood traces on him had already solidified, beginning to scab.

His clothes were dotted with black spots, marks stained by blood.

Ning Che’s long hair was disheveled, head slightly tilted back against the wall.

In her weakened state, this was the only way she could support herself.

"I’ve already decided to release you, why look at me with such eyes?"

Gerard, like a victor, looked at Ning Che and the others.

With a superior air, as if announcing his triumph.

"At this point, it’s pointless to say anything."

Ning Che spoke weakly and feebly:

"Your actions are a declaration of war against the Central Guards Brigade. From the moment you attacked, the future will be relentless; letting us go is not a wise choice."

Gerard half-closed his eyes; for days, he had been trying to make Ning Che yield.

But on this woman was a diamond-like resilience.

She never surrendered, nor did her team members.

She resisted in her own way, expressing contempt.

"Relentless?" Gerard said:

"Do you really think the Central Guards Brigade has such capability? This is blind confidence."

"If it were truly blind confidence, why resort to a sneak attack?" Ning Che said with disdain:

"And you still chose to strike when the Flame Dragon Team was away, weakness isn’t the real issue, obliviousness to foolishness is."

Anger surfaced on Gerard’s face.

This insubordination struck a nerve.

"But my goal was achieved, I don’t care about the process."

"Ha..."

Ning Che chuckled coldly, saying nothing more.

The thick contempt made Gerard even more uncomfortable.

Buzz—

The door lock whirred with electricity before Morrice entered, saying:

"Mr. Gerard, it’s almost time."

"Take them all downstairs."

"Yes!"

A group of armed guards came from outside, escorting Ning Che and the others out of the room.

"How’s the situation downstairs?" Gerard asked quietly.

"All the streets are secured, the moment he appears, his movements can be tracked." Morrice said sternly:

"I assure you, there won’t be any issues this time."

Gerard nodded, "How is Lin Jingzhan’s situation over there, any unusual activity?"

"Recently, they’ve rested near the Kandaya Forest, all four captains are present, seems unaware of this matter."

Gerard stayed silent.

For him, this message was believable.

Since his son wasn’t the one captured, it was unnecessary to make a fuss.

Besides, he and the four captains were on the island; even losing a couple of insignificant people wouldn’t affect today’s transaction.

Yet, the shrewd Gerard, remained vigilant.

He mentally reviewed all the procedures once more, finding no issues, before rising and heading downstairs.

...

It was now three in the morning.

The streets surrounding the hotel were quiet, even the homeless had been cleared.

Loneliness and desolation filled every corner, resembling a lifeless realm.

Slowly, Lin Yi approached step by step.

He was only a dozen meters away from the Huaqi Hotel.

Seeing a figure emerge on the street in the distance, the guards nearby grew alert!

A commotion ensued, everyone picked up their weapons, aiming at Lin Yi.

Dim streetlights shone on Lin Yi, stretching his shadow.

On the other side was dozens of security bureau and Ghost Squad members.

Lin Yi walked alone, like a solitary warrior challenging the world.

His pace was slow, expressionless, but his speed remained unchanged, even with guns pointed at him.

He knew if one of them fired accidentally out of nerves, his life would end here.

But he remained extraordinarily calm, as if heading to a long-scheduled dinner.

At this moment, the states of both sides appeared rather eerie.

Glad’s side clearly had over a dozen armed people, yet when Lin Yi approached, each was exceptionally tense.

Even they hadn’t noticed, their steps continuously retreated.

As if an invisible wave was pushing them back.

Before long, Lin Yi reached their front.

People opened a path, letting Lin Yi through.

But as Lin Yi reached the door, they closed in again, encircling him like an unbreakable cage.

The hotel entrance had level three steps, carpeted.

Though only lit by the residual glow of the streetlights, the vivid red was striking, as if drenched in blood.

"Team Leader Lin..."

Upon seeing Lin Yi enter, members of the third group all gazed at him.

Lin Yi silently nodded, noticing the injured Ning Che.

His heart pounded fiercely, like an untamed tiger attempting to unleash from its confines.

But the feeling of helplessness was swiftly replaced by suffocation.

As if tightly gripped, unable to breathe, yet unable to quell the raging fury burning ferociously.

Both gazes locked, Ning Che’s eyes were teary.

She knew Lin Yi would come; no one could prevent it.

That’s why he was who he was—Lin Yi.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you home."

Ning Che closed her eyes as tears streamed down.

At this moment, for her, death was worth it.
