Chapter 450 - 303: Self-Sacrifice and Loyalty (Part 3)

Sikinkov said nothing, just looked at him sadly.

The two men stared at each other, the atmosphere seemingly frozen at this moment, almost suffocating.

Su Mo’s gaze grew colder, all his capabilities secretly mobilized within.

The battle was imminent.

Just when the tension reached its peak, Sikinkov suddenly made a stunning move.

He reached out his hand and tightly grabbed Su Mo’s wrist.

Sikinkov’s facial muscles twitched; his expression was resolute yet suppressed, as he almost ground out the words through his teeth: "Take me hostage..."

Su Mo was stunned upon hearing this.

Sikinkov’s grip tightened further, gritting his teeth, "The entire elite of the Anti-Violence Fourth Section is here! If you don’t want to die, hurry up!"

After a moment of silence, Su Mo didn’t say a word and took Sikinkov hostage, using him as a shield in front of him. Bone spikes emerged from his knuckles, pressing against Sikinkov’s throat.

The director was taken hostage, causing the undercover members of the Anti-Violence Fourth Section in the crowd to suddenly erupt in chaos. They rushed from all sides to surround the car, shouting angrily:

"Let him go! You son of a bitch! Now!"

"Don’t resist stubbornly, or the charges will increase!"

"Damn it! I told you not to leave them alone!"

"Command center! Command center! Director Sikinkov has been taken hostage by a criminal, requesting immediate backup!"

Su Mo stayed close behind Sikinkov to prevent a sniper from shooting from the shadows, chuckling briefly, "Mr. Director, you’re really bold, aren’t you afraid I’ll go for broke?"

Sikinkov raised both hands, seemingly showing no threat to the criminal, but in reality, he was using his body to further shield Su Mo from the sniper’s view.

He said in a deep voice, "That’s pretty good too, the director of headquarters dies on duty during the arrest of a criminal, then I’ll become a legend in New Moon City."

Su Mo: "Oh really, then you better think about the recipe you want to leave at the bar. I bet a drink named after you would be a hit."

Sikinkov cursed, "I really don’t know if you’re just cheerful or really brain-dead, you even have the mood to joke with me... Stay away! All of you useless folks! If I even get a scratch, you’ll all be out of jobs!"

With the director being held hostage, the undercover agents dared not act rashly, having to stay back a bit while still keeping their eyes locked on Su Mo.

Su Mo: "Aren’t you afraid the higher-ups will see through your act, and hold you accountable later?"

Sikinkov: "We’ll deal with the future when it comes. You need to get out of the car, take me out of the city hostage, and then escape as far as you can, best to go to the Land of No Master and never come back!"

Su Mo: "I’m not leaving, I quite like New Moon City."

Sikinkov’s blood pressure rose, "What the hell are you doing?! I give you a chance to leave, and you’re messing with me?!"

Su Mo: "Shh, don’t shout so loud, or they’ll hear and blow our cover. Just stay with me for a bit longer, the people should be arriving any moment now."

Sikinkov was almost in tears, "No matter who you call, it’s no use in this situation, who can save you? Just now, the people from Hegemony Company went to find Amir, and he didn’t dare to say a word!"

"Yaho~" While the two were entangled, a clear laugh suddenly came from not far away.

Qi Ling had returned without anyone noticing, with a fleet of hovercars landing gradually behind her.

She casually walked to the front of the car, peering at Su Mo and Sikinkov, "What are you doing? Wrapped around each other so passionately. Mo Mo, hurry up, the guest of honor is here."

Sikinkov was stunned and looked toward the convoy behind Qi Ling.

Upon seeing the double-helix logos on those hovercars, and the tall figure stepping out of the main carriage, Sikinkov felt like a thunderbolt struck his mind, leaving him as frozen as a statue.

"Brother." Su Mo’s call came.

Sikinkov looked over in a daze.

Su Mo’s face was beaming with joy, giving him a big bear hug, "Good brother!"

With that, Su Mo released Sikinkov and confidently stepped out of the car.

He walked through the equally stunned Anti-Violence Team Members, approaching the tall figure with five stars on his tie.

Under the shining sun, their hands clasped together.

"President Zhao, I’ve heard so much about you."
