Chapter 234 No Blood and No Bodies

Jenny felt nothing wrong as the alcohol ran down her throat.

Luke gently kissed her neck and her ears while he rubbed her body softly.

In less than five minutes, he felt the girl in his arms go limp.

He carried her into the bedroom, took off her clothes, then… covered her with the quilt.

Before he left, he cleaned the wine gla.s.s and refilled it with more wine.

He opened the window, threw out his grappling hook, and jumped out. He closed the window behind him, but didn’t lock it.

He pulled himself up the rope to the top of the building

When he reached the rooftop, he took out a plastic mat and a big bag from his inventory.

Opening the bag, he quickly changed his clothes and switched out his gear before he stored the clothes he had been wearing earlier and the mat in his inventory. Throwing out the grappling hook again, he took a few leaps before stopping at a building several hundred meters away.

He hailed a cab and hid his face inside the hood of his s.h.i.+rt.

There wasn’t any traffic at night, and he soon reached West Adams Street, where he disappeared down a dark alley.

Another half an hour later, he reappeared outside a two-story building.

Turning on his fake phone and confirming that there was no high-tech surveillance equipment nearby, he snuck inside.

There weren’t any surveillance cameras here, but there were a lot of guards.

Ten people were guarding the s.p.a.cious yard, but almost all of them were slacking off.

Or rather, they didn’t know how to work security professionally.

Most gangsters didn’t have enough skills for that, otherwise they could’ve gotten work as security guards.

They were often too lazy and lacked the grit and courage to change themselves.

Luke dashed nimbly toward one side of the building and jumped, grabbing a windowsill on the second floor and activating his Sharp Nose.

A moment later, he quietly pulled himself up and climbed into the room.

A man and a woman were having s.e.x in the room with their backs to the window. Luke swiftly approached them and knocked them out.

Looking at the man and going through the profiles in his head, Luke twisted the man’s neck without any hesitation, and his body disappeared in the next instant.

He turned the unconscious woman around, but didn’t find anything on her in his memories.

He fed the woman a tiny pill and left the room.

In less than five minutes, he cleaned up the second floor.

The second floor was clearly for people with higher positions. There were only three men and one woman here.

All the three men disappeared, and the woman was left unconscious.

Luke went upstairs unhurriedly, and eliminated the men in the five rooms on one side of the stairs. Some of them were sleeping, and some were busy packing goods.

Of course, Luke destroyed the goods after wiping out the men, as usual.

Eventually, Luke reached the living room, where five men were scattered around. Fortunately, they didn’t have clear lines of sight to each other.

Two of them were watching TV, two were drinking, and the last one was cleaning his gun at the table.

Luke calculated for a moment, then took out a few modified yo-yos.

He had used them before on Daniel, the cab driver in Paris, but that had been a trial version back then. Now, Luke had improved it, and he gave it a new name: rope dart.

With his inventory, many problems concerning quality were resolved.

The head of the gadget, which served as a weight, was made of a special alloy, and the rope of an extremely hard steel.

The only thing he needed was practice.

He had invented this gadget because his USC purge last time had left too big an impact, and he might be exposed if he did it again.

For American police, a body with blood and bullet holes would mean a homicide.

Even though the victim was a gangster, it would have to be investigated if too many of them were killed.

But what if there was no blood or bullets? No investigation would be carried out at all.

Luke threw out two rope darts, which wrapped themselves around the necks and bodies of the two who were drinking, until their hands were tied up too.

They barely realized what was going on before Luke ran out and knocked out the man who was cleaning his gun.

He threw out another rope dart, binding the man’s body to a pillar nearby so that he wouldn’t fall over.

In the meantime, he hurled out two iron b.a.l.l.s that hit the two men who were watching TV in the back of their heads.

Since they were on the couch, they didn’t make a sound as they fell to the side. The other three had either been armed or were sitting in chairs, and Luke didn’t want them to make any sound that would alert the people outside.

The moment he threw out the iron b.a.l.l.s, he approached the two trussed up men, who were struggling to break free of the ropes.

Luke reached out and twisted their necks.

With the sound of cracks, both of them stopped struggling.

He spent two seconds collecting the two bodies. Then, he cleaned up the body at the table as well as the bodies on the couch.

Now, there were only two guys left in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Luke thought for a moment, but didn’t go down to the bas.e.m.e.nt. Instead, he snuck out of the house.

Leaving the two men who were smoking and chatting at the front door, he started with the people in the corners.Whenever the rope dart flew out, it wrapped around someone’s throat so that they couldn’t scream, and they pa.s.sed out from a hit to the back of the head in the next instant.

Finally, the two guys at the door realized that something was wrong.

Why was it so quiet?

Why couldn’t they hear the sounds of their fellows anywhere in or outside the house anymore?

Frightened, they reached for their guns.

Two rope darts flew out to tie them up, and two iron b.a.l.l.s. .h.i.t them in their heads.

Both of them pa.s.sed out, but were held upright rigidly by the thin steel ropes, so they didn’t fall.

Then, a shadow emerged from behind them to drag them back into the house.
