Chapter 2457 - 2465: Hostage

After hesitating for a while, Qin Yu still managed to suppress the urge to take action! Since Jeffrey had so much confidence in Gandhi, once Gandhi arrived, those weapons should be unlocked, right?

"Fine, I’ll wait for Gandhi to come. With Gandhi here, nothing unexpected will happen."

Seeing how easily Qin Yu agreed, Jeffrey breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Gandhi arrived, his mission would be considered complete!

They didn’t have to wait long; in less than fifteen minutes, Gandhi arrived at the Federal Bank Building.

As soon as Gandhi appeared at the Federal Bank Building, Qin Yu felt the hairs on his body stand on end! That was because Gandhi made no attempt to disguise his aura!

S++ level Psychic! Comparable to a Peak Quasi-Divine Realm master! Qin Yu’s expression became grave, yet he smiled and stood up, walking towards the entrance.

When he reached the entrance, Qin Yu saw a not very muscular Caucasian man, about 1.78 meters tall with short hair, wearing black clothes and black pants, and sporting a pair of cool-looking black sunglasses.

"Gandhi, I feel relieved now that you’re here." Qin Yu walked up with a grin, arms wide open, ready to give Gandhi a big hug.

Unfortunately, Gandhi didn’t give him any face, slapping Qin Yu’s arm away and said coldly, "Low-level warriors will always be just that, dying even when facing a few rubbish Genetic Warriors! Trash!"

After touching Qin Yu’s arm, Gandhi’s pupils contracted, staring at Qin Yu intently: "No wonder those two wastes are dead! You are not He Luowei, who are you?"

Qin Yu’s face changed dramatically! What did Gandhi imply by that? Had he seen through his identity?

Qin Yu regretted it immensely. If he had known that Gandhi could see through his Illusion Technique, he should have tried to escape by force earlier! Now what should he do?

"Gandhi, that joke isn’t the least bit funny," Qin Yu said, forcing a smile.

"Although you look exactly like He Luowei, you lack Divine Power!" Gandhi said coldly while looking at him.

Qin Yu’s pupils narrowed. He was dead with regret. Why did he even go to hug Gandhi? The physical contact when Gandhi slapped him gave away that something was wrong!

Qin Yu reacted fast, coming up with a good idea even under extremely adverse circumstances! He dashed towards the resting area, towards Jeffrey’s two subordinates!

Jeffrey’s two subordinates were busy trying to revive Holly Rosie when Qin Yu, who moved too quickly for them to react in time, killed them instantly!

Qin Yu grabbed Holly Rosie, his gaze icy as he stared at Gandhi and said coldly, "Step aside! Or I will kill her!"

Gandhi’s gaze was serene, looking at Qin Yu as if he were an ant: "Do you really think you can escape in my presence? Your energy fluctuations are merely S-, while I am S++."

As he spoke, a flash of light gleamed across Gandhi’s sunglasses.

Qin Yu blinked. That’s right, without going Berserk and without using the Purple Micro Battle Armor, he was indeed just at the late-stage of the Celestial Realm. Indeed corresponding to S-.

Surprisingly, Gandhi saw through this immediately, which meant Gandhi had high-tech gadgets; those glasses seemed interesting, and he was very curious about them.

"That’s right, my strength is indeed only S- level, but before you kill me, killing Holly Rosie would still be easy," Qin Yu said unmoved.

"Is that so? I don’t think so." Gandhi said indifferently as he continued walking forward.

"Stop! Or I’ll strangle her!" Qin Yu said as he tightened his grip around Holly Rosie’s neck, her cheeks flushing red.

"Mr. Gandhi, take it easy! Rosie’s life must be preserved," Jeffrey exclaimed as he saw Holly Rosie convulsing uncontrollably.

"You hear that? Move aside now! Or I’ll kill Holly Rosie!" Qin Yu said while increasing the pressure on her neck once again.

"Fine! I’ll move aside." A strange smile flickered across Gandhi’s face, a distance of five meters, just perfect!

Qin Yu had good observational skills and noticed the smile on Gandi’s face as well as the energy fluctuations within Gandi’s body. However, Qin Yu pretended as if he had discovered nothing and looked at Gandi with an incredibly tense gaze.

Suddenly, Qin Yu felt a change in the airflow around him, and a force pertaining to the five elements suddenly grasped his wrist!

Had Qin Yu been willing, a light flick of his wrist would have been enough to free himself from this force!

But Qin Yu did not do so. He wasn’t truly intending to take Holly Rosie hostage; he was just helping to clear Holly Rosie’s suspicion!

Caught off guard and attacked, Qin Yu’s grip on Holly Rosie’s throat loosened! He watched helplessly as Holly Rosie flew out of his grasp and over to Gandi’s side!

"Mr. Jeffrey, I said Miss Rosie is unharmed," Gandi said calmly.

Qin Yu feigned extreme annoyance and roared, "Damn it, you tricked me!"

"Trash is just trash, can’t even keep ahold of your own hostage! Who are you? Where are your accomplices?" Gandi looked at Qin Yu as if he were staring at a dead man.

"Accomplices? I don’t understand what you are talking about! It’s just me alone!"

"Just you? Heh... Although Ferguson and He Luowei were somewhat useless, you’re far more useless than they were! Just you, there’s no way you could have taken them out!"

"Is that so?" Qin Yu suddenly charged towards Jeffrey! This time, he truly needed a hostage!

Unfortunately for Qin Yu, as fast as he moved, Gandi moved faster. Gandhi huffed coldly, "Advanced Divine Power—Air Barrier!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Qin Yu felt the air in front of him seem to solidify, forming an invisible wall between him and Jeffrey!

"Break for me!" Qin Yu let out a furious roar, channeling his True Yuan, and three colors of thunder light appeared on his fist as he fiercely punched the air wall!

Crack! The wall shattered like exploding glass!

This scene left Gandi momentarily stunned, "Eh? What was that punch just now? S-level power?"

While speaking, Gandi set up another air barrier, and the freshly formed barrier blocked Qin Yu. He stopped less than three meters away from Jeffrey!

It wasn’t until this moment that Jeffrey regained his composure. His complexion greatly changed as he shouted, "Mr. Gandi, protect me!"

A hint of disdain flashed across Gandi’s face, but he couldn’t really disregard Jeffrey since Jeffrey was the nominal commander.

"Mr. Jeffrey, rest assured, he can’t break through my air barrier. My air barrier is S+ level."

Upon hearing this, Jeffrey’s face relaxed a bit; S+ level! That was quite a formidable force! Enough to withstand most conventional weapons.

As Jeffrey began to relax, Qin Yu snorted coldly; S+? At full strength, he was at an S++ level!

"Break for me!" Qin Yu launched another fierce punch, and the air barrier vibrated intensely but showed no sign of breaking.

Gandi looked at Qin Yu with the amusement of a cat playing with a mouse, "Stop struggling, you have no way..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu suddenly pulled out the Sky-Opening Axe from seemingly nowhere and hacked at the air barrier with a whoosh! The barrier shattered!

Qin Yu grabbed Jeffrey, put away the Sky-Opening Axe, and took out a dagger instead, pressing its sharp blade against Jeffrey’s neck!

"Now, can I be allowed to leave?"
