CODE NAME: ANASTASIA [Novel]

Chapter 7

Feeling the strangeness, Kwon Taek Joo immediately pulled out the Colt without hesitation. A gunshot rang out aimed directly at Vasily. Through the rearview mirror, he made eye contact with the man in the driver's seat.

"Stop."

Kwon Taek Woo said calmly. The man in the driver's seat obediently followed the instructions. The sedan that was moving slowly stopped in the middle of a narrow alley. Vasily obediently raised both hands without showing any sign of wanting to protest.

"You have a rather dangerous toy, don't you, Mr. Sakamoto."

"Who are you anyway?"

"Looks like I already introduced it. I am 'Vasily Aleksandrovich' who was sent to receive you."

"Aleksandrovich has nothing to do with Gazprom, does he?"

"Oh, there's still a little bit, sir."

Right at that moment.

The door in the back seat suddenly opened and a man appeared, in his hand was a Tokarev, a Russian revolver, he pointed the muzzle straight at Kwon Taek Joo's head without hesitation. Not only that, there was a red dot from nowhere circling around his left chest area. Completely surrounded. Kwon Taek Joo bit his lower jaw.

"Isn't silence better? Mr. Sakamoto?"

Vasily hummed and sang to the tune of the music in the car. Kwon Taek Joo has no clue as to his identity and what his purpose is. The urgent thing now is to get out of this terrible situation immediately.

But how? If there was any mistake in his actions, both his head and chest would turn into a beehive in an instant. He rolled his eyes and looked around. The only thing illuminating the dark alley was the car's headlights. No, the red dots inside the car were illuminating Vasily's sinister face.

"Don't play tricks. You can't get out of here..."

Before he could finish his warning, he collapsed in the continuous gunshots that had just been heard. The lights inside the car immediately went out because the bullets flew in without warning.

Immediately after, another sniper fired from a nearby roof again and again. Sharp explosions followed, and the rear-seat window shattered.

Immediately after that temporary disturbance, silence enveloped the alley. Not detecting any movement near the vehicle, the sniper again slowly moved the barrel without letting his guard down.

The next moment, the stopped car accelerated, speeding down the alley without the headlights on. Occasionally it would bump into trash cans or the walls of tall buildings and then escape dangerously.

The sniper belatedly opened fire, but only managed to break the rearview mirror and shock absorber.

"If you don't want to be like this, you'd better listen to me obediently."

Kwon Taek Joo wiped the blood on his face and threatened the driver. It was the blood of the man standing in the back door of the car, putting the muzzle of the gun on his head. He became Kwon Taek Joo's shield and was hit by a sniper. Vasily's situation was no different. He was hit in the face by a bullet and collapsed on the dashboard.

The driver, smeared with the blood of others in the car, did not dare to resist any further. Kwon Taek Joo in the back wrapped around his neck and instructed each direction to move. The problem was that no matter which direction they ran, they still couldn't get to the boulevard. Because the snipers were still ambushing all over the alleys, so they couldn't turn on their headlights to determine the direction, it was hard to tell if it was a dead end or not.
