Civilization Guardian Front

These mercenaries, who have been fighting in the hail of bullets for many years, did not slow down their movements because they opened their mouths, and their rifles spit out flames one after another at Chios' location.

clang clang...

Estimated the ballistic trajectory from the angle of the muzzle, and captured the ammunition trajectory through dynamic vision. The long sword in the black-haired young man's hand was like a thunderbolt, and he danced a continuous silver light to miss most of the bullets.

The few attacks from dead angles are borne by the power of runes.

While firing a silver FN57 with his left hand, Chios stepped forward obliquely with nimble swordsmanship steps, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed a few steps and rushed into the center of the sofa seating area.

Under the terrified eyes of the terrorists, the young man swung his sword with his right hand and slashed across their necks horizontally.

Puff puff!

Three heads with stiff expressions flew into the air at the same time, and the broken neck continued to spray blood, splashing a mess around.

Chios flipped his wrist holding the sword, pressed down the sweeping blade, pierced the abdomen of the person beside him with inertial force, and then pulled towards him.

"Wow ah ah!"

Watching his chest and abdomen being severed open, and the unsupported viscera rolling to the ground, the man let out a sharp howl.

Then, the sharp pain that came one step later caused his consciousness to fall into the abyss.

Outside the Mori building, Reki, a sniper in a helicopter, locked on the gangsters trying to attack the young teacher from a distance, and pulled the trigger again and again.

Whenever the gunshots sounded, a person's head exploded into the blood mist, and his body staggered and fell down.

But in just ten seconds, there were very few living people left in the entire office...

Apart from Chios himself, the only survivors were the terrorist leader Vanessa, who was slumped in the leather chair, and a gangster who was in shock after being pierced by a bullet in his right palm.

Viscous dark red blood flowed on the precious marble floor, and a strong and pungent fishy smell permeated the air.

The young man who put away his weapon walked slowly to the desk, met the fearful eyes of the short-haired woman, reached out to open the moisture-proof cigarette case on the table, and took a cigar.

After igniting it with a fire rune, Chios sat sideways on the edge of the table, and the tip of the cigarette in his mouth glowed red.

"Hoo..." Thin gray-brown smoke spit out from the corner of his mouth.

"Floral, vanilla...and a hint of toast."

I planned to taste the flavor of other people's cigars carefully, but the short break was interrupted by the vibration of the mobile phone in the pocket of the suit.

Glancing at the caller ID on the screen, the young man focused his eyes slightly and pressed the answer button with his thumb.

"Nakasora-san, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Chios, the terrorists on the 49th and 50th floors have been swept away, and there are no hostage casualties."

Chios, who had heard the girl's report, immediately relaxed his serious expression, and responded with a smile:

"Contacting me in such a hurry, I thought you were going to tell me some bad news..."

"It's true that there is no bad news, but on the 49th floor that Mine Liko and Shirayuki-san are in charge of, there are unexpected collaborators."

"Cooperators?"

...

Chios, who was notified by Nakasora Tomomisaki, cut off the tendons of the hands and feet of the two terrorists with his long sword, tied them up and threw them into the dressing room.

After simply washing off the blood stained on his body, he quickly took the elevator with the safety device restarted to the 49th floor.

Approaching the office through the corridor, the young man faintly heard a gentle female laughter coming from the room:

"Proverbs Chapter 13 Verse [-]: Good understanding brings favor, but the way of the treacherous is hard..."

"What kind of person is Mr. Chios who can act for justice and formulate such a thorough plan...I really hope to see him in person."

Pushing open the glass door and stepping into the spacious interior space, the young man ignored the faint smell of blood in the air, and focused on the slender figure beside the window curtain, who was talking and laughing with Bai Xue and Riko.

Bright eyes like emeralds, long brown hair braided into twists over the shoulders, wearing a light purple pullover sweater, black and white plaid knee-length skirt, legs in black stockings, and just wrapped Lace-up ankle boots that cover the ankle.

The moment the office door was pushed open, the beautiful woman immediately noticed the movement and turned her face curiously.

"what..."

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the visitor would be so perfect, she covered her mouth with her bare hands, and let out a slight exclamation.

On the side, Baixue and Riko seemed to have positioning antennas. From the moment Chios entered the door, their eyes were firmly locked on him.

Compared with Baixue's docile and attached eyes, Riko winked quietly at the young man, moving her eyes to signal the brown-haired woman beside her, which was meaningful.

The hostage, who witnessed the gangster being shot to death and regained his freedom but was still in shock, couldn't help being in a daze from the perspective of the three saviors.

"Cough..." Chios, who suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, coughed softly with his left fist.

"Excuse me, I'm Chios who was appointed by the police to rescue him this time."

"Except for the leader and one of her henchmen who were arrested, all the terrorists were killed on the spot. Everyone is safe now."

Chapter 280: The Spotlight of the Media

Before handing over the hostage rescue command work to Chios, Criminal Minister Kaoru Funamoto called Police Chief Yashiro Takayoshi and Tokyo Butei High School Principal Midori Matsu Taketoshi to confirm that this person is competent for this important task.

After hearing that the head of the Metropolitan Police Department and the headmaster Butei Gao said "no problem", he was naturally relieved.

The level of media attention caused by the hijacking incident in Tokyo's most prosperous business district, coupled with the large number of hostages including the leaders of many well-known companies, if they are mishandled, no one can avoid responsibility. I believe that the superiors will never be less concerned than themselves.

Therefore, he did not dictate to Chios's negotiation work, so as not to affect the other party's scheduled pace.

In fact, although it is impossible to talk about fully understanding the details of "Operation Storm", after witnessing how the young man diverted the terrorists' attention and then led the criminals into the trap step by step of the negotiation process, the police supervisor of Funamoto became more involved. Be sure of the correctness of your decision.

Having said that, when he received the notice from the other party that "all hostages are safe, no casualties, the terrorist leader and a senior member were arrested, and all the rest were killed", he was still on the spot, holding his mobile phone and saying no for a long time. Speak up.

In the end, he was reminded by his subordinates before he came back to his senses and dispatched the police into the Mori Building to take over the aftermath of the scene.

Two criminal leaders were arrested and brought to justice. This is undoubtedly a gift for him to give to his superiors, and the Minister of Criminal Affairs couldn't help but feel emotional.

Under such an urgent situation, he can still spare his mind to be a favor. I really don't know what material that young man's heart is made of...

Zhou Benxin hoped to chat with the other party for a while, but unfortunately...

"Your Excellency, I am Taylor from the BBC World News..."

"Mr. Marshall, this is CNN reporter Anderson..."

"Hi, I'm Fahmi from Seminar..."

After briefing the police chief about the assault process, Chios, who walked out of the Mori building, was surrounded by a large number of reporters who had just been allowed to enter the blockade.

For a while, even the presidents and presidents of major companies who wanted to express their gratitude to the youth's rescue could only smile wryly under the barrier of people.

Because this incident has attracted widespread attention from all over the country and even around the world, except for the part that needs to be kept secret, the latest situation on the scene is almost simultaneously transmitted to the ears of various media, and then passed on to all readers.

It is easy to understand why journalists are so crazy.

Not only is it impossible to perfectly solve the terrorists without injuring a single hostage...

As the person in charge of this rescue operation, Chios, the huge topicality endowed by his status as a great British aristocrat, cannot be ignored by media practitioners.

"It seems that I don't want to respond to you, I don't want to go home and rest today..." Facing countless cameras, cameras and microphones, Chios raised his hands slightly and made a gesture of surrender.

"As for the details of the operation, you can ask the police and other questions related to me, and hope to keep it within five questions."

The reporters who were worried about the young man leaving without saying a word, saw that he was willing to be interviewed, and finally they were not as urgent as before. They politely backed away a few steps, leaving a little space for the interviewee.

Although the five questions were too many for the many media present, Chios was not a member of a public agency after all, so he was not obliged to accept the supervision of reporters.

"Then, please allow me to be a little biased..."

After taking over the microphone from which the British reporter removed the label of the BBC, the young man showed an apologetic smile to the other reporters, and reached out to indicate the location of the BBC reporter.

"Miss Taylor from the BBC in my home country please be the first to ask."

The middle-aged female reporter, who had been prepared for this, took half a step forward from her colleagues around her.

"Your Excellency, what is the reason or motive that made you, a British nobleman, join this hostage rescue operation?"

Reporter Taylor's question did not surprise Chios, and it was the question that the British people were most curious about.

"As you may already know, I have been the head teacher of the super power search research department of Tokyo Butei High School since a month ago. Because of this responsibility, when Principal Green Pine entrusted me to organize a rescue team to deal with this matter, I Foreign talents barely have a position to take over."

He first explained the legitimacy of his meddling in the affairs of other countries. He paused for a moment and gave some newspaper reporters time to record before continuing to explain his motives:

"I understand that there may be similar criminal activities in other parts of the world, and I cannot see them all alone, but that does not mean that I will turn a blind eye to the evil that is happening in front of me."

After answering the first question, Chios randomly selected Channel Asia News in Singapore from the reporter group to continue asking questions.

"Mr. Marshall, rescuing the hostages is a very difficult task, especially when the gangsters held nearly a thousand people hostage and even planted bombs..."

A man of Chinese-Malay appearance replaced the British reporter.

"Although you have achieved unprecedented success, have you considered in advance that once the hostages are killed or killed, it may have a negative impact on your reputation?"

As soon as this remark came out, many media reporters were secretly speechless.

This is a question with hidden traps. Whether the answer is "yes" or "no", according to the interpretation of the media, it may be concluded that "the earl of Pembroke values ​​reputation more than other people's lives" or "the contemporary successor of Britain's first knight Regardless of the consequences," the conclusion can of course be interpreted by journalists from other angles. It all depends on the media's will to create topics for good or bad.

Had it not been for the near-miraculous success of Chios in rescuing everyone, this problem would have been even more dire than some gossip topics.

"Of course, if I accept this commission on impulse, it would be an irresponsible decision to put other people's lives in danger..."

Nodding his head in affirmation of the other party's question, the young man did not give a short answer that would easily fall into the trap of the topic, but elaborated in detail, leaving room for himself to take legal action.

"On the one hand, I have a considerable degree of confidence in my abilities. More importantly, I trust the students I have selected. Each of these people is an elite in a specific field. As long as they use their power properly, it is not impossible to save everyone. Impossible."

Facing the media's questioning, Chios said here, looking out of the crowd, the butei high school students organized by him as a rescue team, including Muto Takeki and Shimaberry after the helicopter landed in the clear area. , and Kana Toyama who unexpectedly appeared on the scene.

"Without their brave cooperation, the current success would not be possible. I hope everyone who is concerned about this matter can understand this and not hesitate to applaud."

Chapter 280 Five? My Chopsticks Are Missing

Named three international news media and two Japanese local TV stations, answered five questions from reporters, and took a photo with nine Butei high school students in front of the camera. This short interview came to an end.

He has no dislike for the media, being at the top of the upper class, he naturally knows how to use this group of megaphones.

As the Earl of Pembroke, playing the bright side in the eyes of the world was originally his main purpose of taking over this incident.For this reason, he even temporarily instructed the family's public relations team to contact major mainstream media to ensure that the broadcast content met his expectations.

The reason for limiting the number of questions to such a small number is purely to hope that the reporting direction will focus on the scope of the hijacking case, reducing the space for the media to expand and play, so as not to blur the focus.

All the aftermath work was handed over to the police. Chios took the students back to the campus by helicopter, returned the vehicles belonging to Tokyo Butei High School, and then took the special car of Marshall's family to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. He prepared at the Hinokizaka Japanese restaurant. A celebration dinner.

Among them, Kana Toyama who was originally invited by Chios out of courtesy, but unexpectedly agreed to participate...

...

20:18

On the 45th floor of Tokyo Midtown Tower, Hinokizaka restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, a sushi bar with a view...

The bamboo-shaped translucent floor-to-ceiling screen is illuminated with different light and shade at night to make its texture more distinct.

With his back to the panoramic window, the sushi chef cuts the top-quality ingredients purchased on the day into appropriate portions with his honed knife skills, discarding the parts with lower quality, and only uses the best sashimi combined with rice vinegar to knead sushi that is just right for your mouth. Cut glass sushi plates to each guest on a lacquered counter table.

"This meal is my treat, and everyone enjoys it..."

Standing up from the middle of the seat, Chios picked up the Ginjo glass cup filled to [-]% full, and said to everyone on the left and right:

"So... to celebrate our successful rescue of everyone in Mori Building..."

""cheers! ! ! ""

A group of high school students cheered with glasses of various beverages held high.

Strictly speaking, Chios, who is under the age of 20 on the passport, cannot drink alcohol in Japan...

However, the law has always had room for extraordinary things before him.Even in front of the students, he still raised his head and drank the wine in the glass without any scruples.

The 5th generation Ryugetsu Daiginjo from Takagi Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture, known as the "King of Sake", the cold, silky and clear wine at [-]°C flows over the tip of the tongue, and the sweet but not greasy rich melon and fruit aroma blooms in the mouth.

Until the whole glass of wine enters the stomach, the slight alcohol flavor comes out from the finish...

Savoring every detail of the fine wine, Chios couldn't help nodding secretly.

The taste feast brought by the top winemaking technology is enough to cross borders.

Even if he used to mainly drink wine, fortified wine and whiskey, he would not be repelled.

Putting down his wine glass, Chios sat back in his seat, quietly observing his surroundings from the corner of his eyes.

After a "cheers", the students who seemed a bit cautious because they were eating at a high-end sushi restaurant just now seemed to be unshackled, and the atmosphere was much warmer.

"Lei Chiu, open your mouth~"
