Chapter 15: Hi

"Hey, you're back!" the girl in her twenties tiptoed and stretched out her arms as she tried to reach the roller shutter ring above her head. Seeing James walking by, he hurriedly pulled his somewhat disheveled hair behind his ears, and shyly flattened his shrunken coat.

"Hi. James nodded, noticing the girl's situation, smiled and stepped forward to help her pull the roller shutter door down: "Are you off work?"

This is nonsense, but please understand that the dialogue between young men and women who have a good impression of each other but are too embarrassed to speak up is piled up on nonsense.

The two looked at each other awkwardly for a moment in front of the café that was about to close, and said goodbye to each other.

James grabbed the information under his arm and walked to the back of the coffee shop. Between the two closed storefronts, there was a small three-step staircase, and James held on to the guardrail, waved at the girl who looked back, and the girl waved shyly and turned the corner.

With a smile on his face, James stepped up the stairs into the aisle almost three people wide.

This is the "Liszt Back Street", which is different from the "Liszt Street", which mainly focuses on clothing and boutiques, and there are many cafes like the downstairs of James's house, which provide a temporary rest place for people who are tired of shopping. So when night falls, the shops on [Liszt Street] are closed one by one, and the shops on the back street are also closed for the day.

If you don't understand James Lance's wealth, maybe his home in Barton City can give you an intuitive feeling.

James's home is an attic on the third floor, not a half-height isolation floor like a normal house, but a duplex apartment with three or four floors. Such a 200-square-metre loft is still in Liszt Street, the most expensive place in Barton.

James walked to the innermost side of the aisle, pulled open the elevator fence that belonged only to him, and pressed the ascent.

The sound of the chain tugging sounded, and James took out the results of this afternoon, lifted the lock on the folder, and looked seriously.

With a clattering shock, James's figure in the elevator shook a few times, closed the folder, pushed open the fence, and stood in front of a flashing iron door.

James frowned, his lock had been picked open, and there was a suspicious slit between the stretched iron door and the eaves.

James drew his gun in one hand, stepped back slightly from the iron door, and peered through the light in the hallway.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, James maintained a vigilant posture, his right index finger on the trigger, and his left hand held the folder, avoiding the light of the elevator behind him, and used the folder to poke into the crack of the door.

"Boom!"

James's left hand trembled! The tremendous force of his wrist forced him to release the folder! He clearly saw a silver cone-shaped steel needle piercing his folder!

The sound of the spring twisting!

James didn't have time to think about it, his whole body squatted, and he threw himself forward!

"Bang!bang!bang......"

Several silver two-fingered steel needles pierced through the iron door, shooting horizontally from the back where James had just fallen, piercing through the lifting passage and staring at the wall on the other side!

James's forward body quickly flipped over, facing up, his right hand still maintaining the shooting position, and the fingers of his left hand hooked the eaves of the iron door, and forcefully pulled the door open!

With the roar of the gunshots, the lights of the lifting passage instantly occupied the room of the cave opening, and the body of the Indian holding the shattered crossbow rolled to the side, and the blood mist of the exploding tent on his left shoulder made his movements a little sluggish!

It's him?!

James's stunned eyes cost him the advantage he had gained in a thrilling way!

The silver sword light pulled James back from his stunned state! James just wanted to turn the muzzle of the gun, and the brown leather boots kicked him the wrist! In the pain, his gun was kicked off and fell into the gap between the elevator and the floor! James, who was already lying on his back on the ground, had no time to remedy, and the silver dagger slammed directly into his throat!

James only had time to protect his neck, and his arms were crossed against the opponent's downward arm! The blade of the dagger had already pierced James's jaw!

The Indian, who pressed the dagger down with the weight of his whole body, looked hideous, and the wound on his shoulder was bleeding from the exertion of the muscles!

The teeth of James's face clenched tightly, and the blue tendons on his forehead indicated that James had used all his strength to resist the strength of the other party! Anthony reminded him that he wanted to sue sù this guy who saved his life last night, and that he was not a shapeshifter!

It's not that you can't, but you don't dare! When a dagger tries to plunge into your throat, no one dares to spare the slightest strength to speak!

"Hmph......"

James was disappointed to find that this Indian was unusually strong! Even if the other party was injured, if he continued like this, he would not be able to survive the time when the other party lost too much blood!

James decided to fight once! He glared hard at the iron door at his feet, and the bodies of the two of them shifted slightly in an instant! The bodies of the Indians who pressed on him were temporarily unbalanced! James's right hand quickly stretched out to the wound on the other party's right shoulder!

"Uhh

A brief cry of pain and relaxation gave James a chance to turn his body sideways, and the sharp dagger cut a bloody streak on James's sideways jaw, digging deep into the ground!

James didn't dare to relax any more, the four fingers of his right hand clasped the opponent's left shoulder tightly, and his thumb pressed into the cracked wound of the Indian! The abdomen of the body rose sideways, and the right leg bent against the opponent's abdomen fiercely, kicking away! Temporarily widening the distance between the two!

"I'm not ......"

James found his chance, but he didn't finish the sentence! James watched in amazement as the fingers of the Indian's right hand buckled into the handle of the dagger inserted into the ground, and in the dim light, the buckle broke away from the handle of the dagger, and the glowing wire was pulled out between the clasp on the opponent's right hand and the handle of the dagger held in his left hand!

And then the Indian man just pulled the tightrope and pounced again!

James wanted to stand up, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all, and crashed into James like a beast, who was still holding his balance!

James, who was knocked down again, faced an even greater crisis! The dagger in his left hand and the steel wire between his hands were deadly weapons! James had been passive and could not be blocked at all!

The wire was wrapped around James's neck! The only thing James could do was to raise his arms and block the rapidly shrinking wire!

James was already in a dead end, and by blocking the dagger, he couldn't break the shrinking tightrope. Break open the tightrope, and he won't be able to protect the dagger that will stab him in the throat at any moment!

James had already felt the tightrope embedded in his skin, and his trachea had been pressed by the tight wires and his own defensive arms, unable to breathe!

"Bang!"

After the gunshot, the strong Indian man disappeared, and the whole person fell towards James! James, who was able to relax, coughed violently, pushed away the man who was pressing on him, and looked ahead.

Louise trembled as she held a gun and looked at James in horror.

"Hi, hi...... You, are you alright, okay?"
