Chapter 1340 On the Verge of Death

James Blake received a crucial piece of information - Mescal was in New York.

Knowing where the mezcal is, he can make many arrangements in advance.

A sneer gradually appeared on James Blake's face.

"Mr. Black, are you outside?" Ariane was calling him. James knew that the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Some things were not the same as what he had originally imagined, but in the end he was all for the organization.

"I am here."

James responded while pushing the door open and entering.

Ariane sat at the table with a cup of coffee without sugar or milk in front of her. His expression was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hearing the noise, Ariane turned around and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, I should thank you for your support all the time. It's just that I'm suddenly not sure whether what I did is correct."

James' eyes darkened slightly: "You don't want to avenge your sister?"

Ariane said nothing.

While James was out on the phone, Ariane thought a lot. He always felt as if he had fallen into a web woven by someone, with his limbs tied by spider silk. Many things are obviously made by me, but when I do them, I feel like I am being manipulated.

Maybe his revenge plan should be put on hold for a while, at least to let him think it through.

"Arian." James sat opposite him and said earnestly, "I only heard about the feud between you and your sister. What exactly happened in the first place?"

"Back then..."

The death of his sister was like a huge stone, weighing on Ariane's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. But if you really think about it, it has been less than a year since my sister passed away...

This year, almost every night when Ariane could not sleep, he would think of his sister, and the melodies her sister sang to him in the past would echo in his ears.

Admittedly, James Blake was definitely not a suitable person to listen to, but affected by the atmosphere and state, Ariane still told the truth: "My sister and I were both orphans who grew up in an orphanage. When we grew up, I went there alone She was studying in the United States, and my sister... I heard that she participated in training from the Swedish Security Agency and became an agent."

Having said that, James thought of Ariane's file he had seen before: "When you just graduated, you used the FBI's intelligence network to investigate the Swedish Security Agency, for your sister?"

"Yes." Ariane admitted. "My sister and I had lost contact for a long time at that time. I wanted to know where she was and what she was doing. But I didn't expect to get the news of her death."

Speaking of this, Ariane's face showed a hint of coldness: "My sister was an undercover agent sent by the Swedish Security Bureau to the organization, working under Mescal in the Nordic branch. But when she died, Mescal had already been transferred He went to Japan, Mescal probably made a special trip to Sweden to assassinate his sister because his sister got important information about him."

"Do you know how your sister died?" James asked.

Ariane shook her head silently.

He didn't know the specific situation, but he only knew that his sister was hit by Mescal with a sniper rifle and died after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Ariane had been injured many times over the years, including gunshot wounds, but he could not imagine the pain his sister was in, desperately waiting for death.

How could Mescal be worthy of his sister's sacrifice if he didn't feel this kind of pain himself? !

Thinking of this, Ariane suddenly felt shocked.

Wait... was James Blake intentionally tapping into his inner hatred of mezcal? Otherwise, why was his mood that had just calmed down now filled with anger again?

Obviously James didn't say anything inducing, but when being looked at by such a pair of calm eyes, Ariane always thought of her sister unconsciously.

Ariane slowly tightened her clothes.

No, stay calm.

As Mr. Akai said, you cannot make decisions when you are irrational.

James was slightly surprised.

This child seems to have matured a lot and is no longer as impulsive as before.

In this case, the opportunity is fleeting and he cannot miss it in vain!

James Blake suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed the black muzzle at Ariane.

Ariane had no time to react. He only saw James' expression suddenly change from kind and kind to ferocious, and then, the severe pain from his chest enveloped him!

At the same time, a dull gunshot sounded in my ears - "Bang!"

A silencer, he put a silencer on it.

A sweet and fishy taste returned to his mouth and overflowed from the corner of Ariane's mouth.

Ariane covered the bloody hole in his chest, his body could no longer stand still, and he fell backwards.

Although the wound was very painful, Ariane's brain could still think. His eyes were full of disbelief, and his hoarse voice also questioned: "James Blake, why?"

"Why?"

James smiled and rubbed the hot barrel of the gun against Ariane's clothes.

"Ariaan, did Judy Stelling ever warn you to stay away from me?"

"You..." The pain made Ariane's voice tremble, "You, you are a traitor!"

James shook his head and corrected: "I am not a traitor. I have been the sharp edge of the organization from the beginning."

The blood kept pouring out, rushing into the lungs, crowding out precious air. Ariane gradually felt difficulty breathing, but he was not dead yet.

James Blake didn't seem to want to stay here too long. He cleaned up all the traces he left, then left Ariane alone and turned around to leave.

Before leaving, he smiled and said to Ariane: "Have you forgotten the FBI training? Never expose your weaknesses to anyone, whether friend or foe."

hateful!

James Blake had been cheating on him!

When people are dying, their minds are always particularly clear. Ariane figured out many things that he had not noticed before. He has resigned from the FBI, but James Blake has never given up on him.

Why? Is it because he is too good?

There are a lot of outstanding people in the FBI. If James Blake hadn't had a plot against him, he, Ariane Swann, might not have been able to get into James' eyes at all!

hateful! His sister's revenge has not yet been avenged, will he also die at the hands of the organization?

Sister...were my sister's last moments the same as him now?

The lack of oxygen caused by poor breathing gradually took away Ariane's consciousness.

In his last moments of consciousness, he felt cold all over.

Whoever it is, please come and save him, he wants to live.

Sister, save me...

…

James could guess the situation of Ariane behind him without looking.

He took out his mobile phone and edited a scheduled email. The recipient was - Asano Nobushige.

Very well, the time Mescal received the news and rushed here was not much different from what he had calculated before, and the plan was successful.

James raised his head and stepped into the last sunset outside the house.

…

"Mr. Asano, we have news about the James Blake you asked us to track down."

When Nobuyoshi entered the administrative scope of Washington, D.C., the FBI investigation also had results.

The organization has found traces of Rai, Judy is in Washington at the moment, and James Blake has also been witnessed - but there is no news about Ariane, he seems to have disappeared from this world.

"Where's Ariane Swann? Isn't he with James Blake?" Nobuhiro asked with a frown.

"No, James Blake is a person. And..." the subordinate thought for a while and replied, "He acts in a very high-profile manner and seems to be deliberately letting us find out."

"He knows you are investigating him?"

"I don't think he knows, but he must be aware of it."

"I know, keep track."

"Yes." The subordinate asked again, "Are we going to arrest him?"

The organization is now the number one enemy of governments and intelligence agencies. If James Blake is confirmed to be an undercover agent of the organization, the public security will have reason to arrest him.

However, Nobushige said: "No, let them handle the FBI's matters themselves.

"By the way, send me the address where you first saw James Blake."

"yes."

Nobushige doesn't want to get involved in the FBI's "internal affairs," but that doesn't stop him from doing his own thing.

The organization will definitely do something to the FBI. At least one of Ariane, James Blake, Shuichi Akai, and Judy will be affected.

Since James Blake acted alone, it may have been Ariane Swann who was in trouble.

That child...

I hope he can mature a little now and stop being as reckless as before.

Based on where James Blake first appeared, Nobushige had a rough idea of ​​Ariane's location.

Anyway, let’s go and have a look.

When he got there, Nobushige abandoned the car he had "borrowed" halfway, and he had to walk the rest of the search.

At this moment, Nobuhiro received an email on his cell phone.

Maybe it's an advertisement - Nobuhishi thought.

But out of caution, just in case it was important information, Nobuhiro opened the mailbox, but then he saw the following content:

[Mr. Nobushige Asano, you may want to hear my thoughts about your company’s final plan, the Noah’s Ark Project—about the flood that drowned all mankind. ]

Attached to the email is a location.

Although the email was unsigned, Nobuhiro guessed the identity of the sender—James Blake.

His careful layout must create some disturbance.

The flood that drowned all mankind... It seems that James Blake is not only an undercover agent placed by the FBI, but he also knows the plan of Noah's Ark very well.

No matter what James Blake was trying to do, Nobuhiro had to go take a look because of the Dark Baron virus.

The location sent by James Blake was almost as expected by Nobuhiro, so it only took him a few minutes to arrive at the location.

It was an abandoned three-story building, with the first and second floors in tatters. Only a window on the third floor was blocked by curtains, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

Is Ariane Swann in there?

…

Washington·TENSE Group Headquarters Building

A few days are enough to bring the building that was nearly destroyed in the explosion back to life.

The BOSS's whereabouts are unknown, and Rum is able to monopolize his office.

At this time, he was facing the wall full of photos and posters of Quan Eunji, and there was a laptop on the table next to him. A radar-like interface was displayed on the screen, with a fluorescent green halo constantly releasing pulses from the center. A small dot was lighting up somewhere on the map - that was Asano Nobushige's position.

"We've arrived in Washington." A half-smile appeared on Rum's face. He was a little surprised, but his surprise was soon overtaken by relief.

"Sure enough, just a mere James Blake can't plot against you."

"But...what if you add my gift?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang. Rum picked up the phone and said calmly: "You're here...well, go to the address I sent you and rescue our companions who accidentally fell into the hunter's trap."

Fun, getting funnier.

…

Nobuhiro climbed the steps alone and stood at the door of the only closed room on the third floor.

The room was quiet, without any movement.

To be on the safe side, Nobuhiro took out his pistol and placed it on his chest. This was a position where he could aim and fire at any time.

He leaned against the door, counting three seconds in his mind, and then kicked the door open.

Eh? They didn't lock it?

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood hit his face.

This is not quite in line with Nobuhiro's expectations.

He followed the smell of blood to the inner room next to him.

There were no signs of struggle in the room, and everything was peaceful except for the young man lying on the floor of the bedroom covered in blood.

"Mr. West!"

What is professionalism? This is professionalism!

At such a tense moment, Nobushige still maintained his persona and squatted down in front of "Fabian West".

It was a gunshot wound. Ariane Swann was shot in the chest. The wound should have been caused by a pistol. Judging from the angle of the ballistic trajectory and the skin near the wound, it was homicide rather than suicide.

No, wait... Ariane Swann is breathing, he's not dead!

Nobushige immediately began to give first aid to Ariane Swann.

The bullet entered Ariane's right chest from the front, causing a lacerated lung but not the heart, which is why Ariane is still alive.

But if such a serious injury is not rescued in time, the only outcome waiting for Ariane is death.

Nobuhiro called the emergency number. The ambulance would arrive soon. Before that, he had to ensure that Ariane Swann would not suffocate to death.

Perhaps because his movements were too large, Ariane, who was in a coma, gradually regained consciousness.

"Sister..." Ariane grabbed Nobushige's arm.

A series of question marks appeared on Nobuhiro's forehead.

"You have the wrong person." Nobufan coldly took off Ariane's paws and laid him down. "Don't move around and keep breathing steadily."

At this time, Ariane's eyes slowly became clearer. He saw Asano Nobushige's face clearly, and disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes: "I thought it was my sister who came to pick me up... Why is it you?"

Unexpectedly, there was only disappointment and regret in his tone, not hatred.

Maybe when he was about to die, he had no extra brain cells to think about these negative things.
