Chapter 79 What Is a Surprise
Butcher's finger was on the trigger but he didn't press it.
Madeline, who was pointed at her head, was extremely frightened at this moment.
Her face was covered with dense beads of sweat on her forehead, her breathing was trembling, and she looked at Butcher with pleading eyes:
"I... am still useful, really, I can correct what the Water Group is doing for you, whatever you want to know, as long as I know it, I will definitely tell you, so..."
"Shut up, bitch."
Butcher pressed the muzzle of the gun against Madeline's forehead.
Madeline was silent immediately.
But perhaps Marvin and her words worked, although Butcher was angry, he still moved the muzzle of the gun away in the end and pulled the trigger behind Madeline.
Bang bang bang bang!
Four shots in a row, the sound of gunfire echoed in the air-raid shelter, and the smoke filled in front of Madeline.
Smelling the gunpowder so close and the gunshots that almost deafened her ears, Madeline was almost exhausted.
Marvin and Huey breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they knew that Madeline's life was saved at this moment.
Marvin walked forward slowly, getting closer to Butcher.
When he came to Butcher, he tentatively put his hand on the gun in Butcher's hand. When he was sure that Butcher had no intention of breaking free, Marvin snatched the gun from Butcher's hand and threw it to Huey beside him.
"Huh--"
Taking the gun from Marvin, Huey put it away rather unfamiliarly, and soon thought of a very critical question:
"... How can we... let her be a witness? I mean, should this be considered illegal detention? Can evidence obtained by illegal means be used as evidence?"
Huey didn't know much about the law, but it was obvious that evidence obtained by kidnapping others should not convince the judge.
Marvin's idea is good, but if Madeline wants to testify in court, she must at least be "willing".
Regardless of whether it is voluntary or forced, it is absolutely impossible to "obtain evidence" like now.
"I will contact Susan."
Butcher stared at Madeline, took a few steps back and sat on the chair, and said slowly.
What they did was indeed a crime, but if the CIA intervened, the nature of the matter would be different.
The CIA has also been keeping an eye on the Vought Group, like a wolf staring at a piece of meat.
As long as the Vought Group reveals a flaw, no matter whether the source of the evidence is legitimate or not, the CIA will definitely hold it tightly in its mouth.
Seeing that Butcher has his own arrangements, Huey is also much more relieved.
He looked at Madeline tied to the chair, and then at Butcher, with a dazed look for a moment:
"So... so, we are about to succeed?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, for example, the guy who cooperates with us suddenly betrays us and tells our information to others."
Butcher, who calmed down, sneered at Huey.
Huey did not argue with Butcher, as he was used to Butcher's skepticism towards any superhuman.
In addition, the other party had just learned about the death of his wife, so Huey thought he should be more generous and pretend that he didn't hear it here.
The atmosphere between the few people relaxed a lot. Madeline, knowing that her life was not in danger, relaxed her tense body and let out a long breath.
At this moment, two footsteps were heard at the entrance and exit of the air-raid shelter.
Everyone looked over vigilantly at first, and when they saw the figures of Frankie and his girlfriend Shirley, they were relieved.
"It seems that you have decided how to deal with this woman? Very good, I just got the news that the Seven have started to act. We'd better solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Frankie put a bunch of food on the table, "We may be the first 'criminal' in history to be caught by all members of the Seven."
The news of Madeleine's disappearance has now been reported in the news, and the news that the Seven have all been dispatched is also reported in the news.
It can be seen that Butcher and his team have made a big deal this time. If they don't find a way to deal with Madeleine as soon as possible, they will not be able to hold on for long under the full search of the Seven.
Even if they are very good at hiding.
After calming down, Butcher immediately called Susan and told her what he had done and what he was going to do.
Susan on the other end of the phone was furious when she heard this. She yelled at Butcher angrily:
"Butcher! You are a lunatic! ! ! ! !"
"Okay, anyway, this is the case. Madeline is in my hands now. If you don't want anything to happen to this only witness, you'd better come quickly."
Butcher said calmly, told Susan his location, and then hung up the phone.
Susan will definitely come, she has to come, because Madeline is indeed a breakthrough for the Water Group.
But the question is when she will come, Butcher and others can't stay here for too long.
With the full search of the seven-member team, they can't hide for long.
The black-robed people were waiting for the CIA to come, but the more time they had to wait, the more likely something would go wrong.
Frankie had been staring at the monitor in the air-raid shelter, which was connected to the outside surveillance, allowing him to see the situation around the air-raid shelter.
And suddenly, Frankie saw a black shadow.
It was the figure of Xuanse from the Seven-Man Team.
"Fuck! It's Xuanse!"
Frankie screamed.
Butcher and the others were stunned, and except for Butcher, the others were a little flustered.
They were just a group of ordinary people, let alone Xuanse from the Seven-Man Team, they might not be able to beat any superhuman with extremely high physical fitness.
Butcher and Marvin immediately picked up their guns and waited for battle. Huey also hurriedly took out the pistol that Marvin had thrown to him just now, staring at the entrance at a loss.
"Now...what should we do now?"
Huey looked at Butcher.
After a brief thought, Butcher immediately said to everyone:
"It doesn't matter, Susan and the CIA will be here soon, we just need to delay time."
"Oh my God, you mean to let us delay time in the hands of a superhuman?! Are you crazy, Butcher?!"
Marvin glared at Butcher.
Butcher did not answer, but turned to Frankie and ordered:
"Didn't you prepare a lot of sprays to deal with superhumans? Use them all!"
"I'm not sure if those things will work on this guy, but I can try."
Speaking of his expertise, Frankie immediately took action, took out a bunch of bottles and jars from the corner of the air-raid shelter, and tinkered with them with his girlfriend Shirley.
Butcher was still worried. Seeing Xuanse rushing to the air-raid shelter, he took out his cell phone and dialed a secret number:
"Hello, Xuanse has found us now. Can you help me think of a solution?"
"Oh? You finally remembered to call me?"
The voice of Shenhai came from the other end of the phone. Butcher glanced at Madeline and said with a smile:
"Yes, Shenhai, this is not a desperate situation. I can only choose to notify you."
Shenhai?
Upon hearing this name, Madeline's eyes widened instantly, and she looked up at Butcher in disbelief.
After all, she was the vice president of the company. Just by the way Butcher addressed the person on the other end of the phone, she understood the whole story.
If it was Shenhai on the other end of the phone, it meant that Madeline was kidnapped this time, and it was all planned by Shenhai!
Why?
Why did Shenhai do this?
He didn't seem to have any reason to do this!
Madeline didn't understand.
She even suspected that this was a smoke bomb given to her by Butcher.
Until Butcher turned on the speakerphone and let the voice on the other end of the phone come out:
"... Butcher, if I guess correctly, Madeline is next to you, right? You are really bad to call me like this next to her."
At this moment, Madeline closed her eyes in despair.
She recognized that it was really Shenhai's voice.
"Hehe, after all, we are people on the same front. It shouldn't be too much for me to do this, right?"
Butcher responded with a chuckle. Shenhai on the other end of the phone was not angry, and also replied with a smile:
"Not too much, of course not too much, but your calculation makes me very unhappy. Aren't you afraid that I will really kill all of you?"
"Come on, if you want to do this, you would have done it a long time ago. You need us, right, Shenhai, you need us to do something for you, so you have to find a way to save us. Now Xuanse is outside us, you have to find a way to get him away . "
"Hmm, you are quite good at finding opportunities." Shenhai smiled and suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current topic:
"By the way, have you found any news about your wife?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Just asking, and I guess you should know, right? What did Madeline say? Died of dystocia? Or was she cut open by the superhuman child and died of heavy bleeding?"
"..."
Shenhai gave two completely different answers. Butcher's pupils contracted, and he instantly understood something and looked at Madeline, who looked panicked.
Before Butcher could ask, Shenhai smiled and gave another answer:
"Let me tell you, the answer is none of them. According to my gossip, your wife is alive and well, but I don't know her exact location, so... you know what to do, Butcher."
"... Shenhai, I really underestimated you."
"Same here, okay, I'll hold Xuanse for a while, as for what to do next, that's your business."
Shenhai hung up the phone, Butcher listened to the dead tone on the other end of the phone, and walked towards Madeline again.
Madeline panicked to the extreme at this moment:
"No, listen to me, he is just a filler in the seven-man team, it is impossible for him to know so many things, he is lying!"
"Really? But I think you are the one who is full of lies now."
Boucher stared at Madeline, grabbed her face with his hands, and pinched it hard:
"In this life-and-death crisis, you dare to lie to us. It can be seen that even if you are handed over to the CIA, you will never tell the dirty secrets of the Vought Group, right?"
"I... I can do it! I really can---ah!"
Before Madeline finished her words, Butcher covered her mouth and nose, and put his other hand on the edge of his lips:
"Shh, let's give Xuanse a surprise."
He said, turning his head to look at Frankie.
...
No one knows what happened in the air-raid shelter that day, and Kevin doesn't know either.
He just knows that not long after he ended the call with Butcher, he got a message.
Madeline was brutally killed by terrorists, and a bomb was tied to her body.
The bomb was detonated when Xuanse entered the air-raid shelter and found her, catching Xuanse off guard.
Madeline died, and her body was nowhere to be found. Xuanse was slightly injured, but it was not a big problem.
The group of people who kidnapped Madeline also disappeared without a trace.
As for Kevin...
Madeline's death was related to him, and his skill points increased by 2.
Only one skill point is left for the job change.
