The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 1374

Chapter 1374

“H-How? Why are you here?”

The man with the backpack shouted loudly as his pupils shrank .

His voice wasn’t just loud but sharp as well, as though it could tear eardrums apart, but the dangerous thing on him was the gun that he just pulled out .

The black gun didn’t even reflect the light in the corridor .

It seemed like this handgun wasn’t some crude, self-made gun anymore but a modified military weapon .

The man with the backpack raised his gun at Kieran without a second thought .

The man didn’t know how Kieran appeared here . He also didn’t know whether Kieran arrived alone or if the police was on their way too .

All the man knew was that his plans were ruined .

This young man ruined his plans for the second time! He must die!

As the thought bloomed in the man’s head, he readied himself to pull the trigger .

Then, he saw Kieran walking towards him .

Did he have a death wish?

The man would not hold back! A vicious smile appeared on his face .

He widened his smile and licked his lips, like a beast hunting its prey .

Bang!

The gun fired . The muzzle flash shone, but the bullet missed .

It wasn’t that hard for Kieran to dodge the bullet since his body was still at the peak of a common man . He didn’t have to be faster than a bullet; all he had to do was calculate the bullet’s trajectory and be faster than the man who pulled the trigger .

The vicious smile froze on the man’s face as he looked at Kieran with a stupified expression .

“How is this possible?” the man shouted .

“There are too many unknown things in this world that are impossible to common men . You see, just like behind you, they are watching you quietly . ”

Kieran took a step up the stairs as he spoke in his heavy, hoarse voice .

A step closer and the man was within Kieran’s attacking range .

Hu!

Kieran dished out a kick . The kick, with a strong wind, reached the man’s face almost instantaneously, replacing the disbelieving look with a frantic one .

“Let’s see how you dodge this!”

The man didn’t dodge or move away from the kick; instead, he pulled the trigger repeatedly .

To his thinking, no matter how nimble Kieran was, he couldn’t dodge the bullets in point-blank range .

Bang Bang Bang!

The gun fired repeatedly, but none of the bullets hit their target . Quite the opposite, as a strange snake hiss echoed in the man’s ear .

Sssss!

The man saw that Kieran’s body and legs were wiggling like a snake!

No! He didn’t just look like a snake, he was a snake! A transformed snake monster!

After the bullets missed, the man, having lost the thing he relied on the most, instantly plunged into fear . The fear even pushed him into a certain degree of illusion .

The man felt like he was seeing a snake in a man’s skin . Fear was smeared over his face, but it was covered by the kick right away .

Bang!

A loud bang later, the man was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall at the corner of the stairs .

As the man slid down the wall, Kieran, who was already pale, strode up and grabbed his backpack and gun . Just in case, he also added a chop to the back of the man’s neck . Kieran then searched the man’s body for items that might threaten him .

With the surveillance camera around the corner of the stairs, Kieran couldn’t kill the man, but it didn’t stop him from taking measures to make himself safer .

After the search, Kieran endured the discomfort in his body and sat down on the floor .

Huu! Huu!

While panting heavily, Kieran took out the thermo flask that he carried around and took sips of its thick, porridge-like liquid .

The liquid was actually made up of protein bars . Rather than eating the solid bar that had to be chewed, Kieran preferred to blend the bars with milk and egg whites . It was better for consumption and also shortened the time for him to chew .

The mixed drink’s temperature was just nice for drinking .

As for the blended protein energy bar, the taste was actually less than pleasant .

There was still some chocolate in it while it was in bar form, but after blending it, there was nothing but stickiness . Nonetheless, Kieran drained everything in the thermo flash, finishing his ‘personal concoction’ before putting the flask down .

Kieran’s face showed an expression of deep thought .

“It’s really workable…” he muttered to himself .

When the messy footsteps entered his ears, Kieran stood up from the floor, patted the dust off his body and looked at the unconscious man .

The man was around his thirties, had a fit physique and looked normal . The most notable feature was a weird tattoo of a square encasing a triangle on the man’s neck .

Tattoos had special meanings to them; some people chose words, others chose characters and mythical being, but this kind of shape was a first for Kieran .

‘Did he create this himself, or… Is it the marking of an organization?’ Kieran thought to himself silently .

“2567? 2567?” Eckart’s voice came from the lower floor .

“Here,” Kieran replied .

Dak Dak Dak .

The footsteps got clearer . Eckart and Lyn Amie with a few more lighting men and cameramen from Rain City TV Station ran up to the scene .

When they saw Kieran and the unconscious man on the floor, the cameramen quickly locked on to the culprit even without Eckart’s order .

The lighting was shed on the subject as well .

A clearer scene was shown on the TV as it was also a live broadcast . It was much better for the eyes compared to the hidden shooting .

Behind the camera, Eckart looked at Kieran with a face full of gratitude .

He was actually very hesitant when Kieran suggested the operation because it was very dangerous; any misstep could easily kill them .

But at the same time, danger equalled chances .

Eckart knew that should this operation go smoothly, he would not only overcome the biggest hurdle before him, but his position would also be firmer than he could ever imagine .

He might even progress higher!

So, in the end, Eckart compromised .

Eckart quickly arranged the things at Kieran’s behest, thus granting him the result before his eyes . A very great result .

The smile on Eckart’s face couldn’t conceal itself anymore once he thought about it, especially when he saw Kieran walk over to him behind the camera .

“Thank you,” Eckart said sincerely .

“Helping you is also helping me,” Kieran said calmly .

It was the truth, Kieran had no need to hide it, but in Eckart’s point of view, Kieran was simply being humble .

“It’s slightly different . You pulled me up from a critical situation . You will never know what I felt three days ago . So if you have anything that I can help with, just tell me . I swear I will do my best to fulfil it,” Eckart said seriously .

Kieran, on the other hand, smiled at his seriousness because he indeed needed Eckart’s help in something .
