"You are not allowed to expose yourself! This is an order!!"

Namjoon's warning rang out loud and clear through the earpiece Jimin was wearing. For some reason, Jimin felt like it was specifically directed toward him, or it could also be a figment of his imagination.

Right now, he was crouching motionlessly on top of a container three hundred meters away from the battle scene, the scope of his sniper rifle was aimed at KJ's head whereas his finger was ready on the trigger.

Had it not been for Captain Kim's warning as well as the blue-eyed young man who fired the shot first, Jimin would have seized the chance to take the imposter out.

This was the man who had kicked Jungkook on the chest, this was the man who had ordered a siege on Jungkook...

Fury roared in Jimin's heart and his Night-blue eyes were so dark that no light could be reflected within. However, he was careful not to let his killing intent out.

This was something Jungkook had taught him all those years ago.

The senses of people living in the underworld were different from normal people. They were able to perceive killing intent as easily as tracing the source of light amid the dark; it was practically like hanging up a flashing billboard to announce where the other party's location was. This was a must-have ability if they wanted to survive in this treacherous world where enemies were always out to take their lives.

And if they trained this skill further, then they could detect not only killing intent but also the most fleeting gaze. That's the reason why Jungkook always noticed it whenever Jimin snuck glances at him...

In order to assassinate someone, he had to curb all of his killing intent and become one with his surroundings. Only then could the enemies overlook him. Jimin applied everything Jungkook had taught in this one occasion.

He stared at Jungkook's back through the sniper scope and took a deep calming breath to stabilize his emotion.

'Just a little more', he whispered inwardly. 'Just hold on a little more, Jungkook. I am watching over your back.'

The air became utterly still once Haru made the first shot.

KJ was taken aback for a split second before his expression turned cold, and the gaze he directed toward the blue-eyed young man was dark and hostile as if he was looking at a corpse.

"Sirius Morningstar..." he spat out the other's full name. "Why are you here? This is the adult's business, children should just go home and have a good sleep. Or... are you not afraid to end up like your brother?"

In a few short sentences, KJ was able to stab him where it hurt the most. Haru only had one reverse scale - his brother. He would not bat an eyelid no matter how hard someone provoked him, but once they brought up his big brother... he would... instantly become mad!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Three gunshots were fired in succession toward the container's body, causing little holes to form on the dented metal surface. Haru's eyes were bloody red as he bit out, "Don't you dare talk about my brother with your filthy mouth!"

"Why?" The more someone forbade him to, the more KJ wanted to do it. He became all the more energetic. "Is it because-"

"Haru!" Chen bai reached the young man in three large steps and grabbed his hand that was holding the gun, preventing him from firing another shot. The scar on his face was twisted as he hollered, "Don't be affected by his words! Don't you know how he is? He must be doing it on purpose! Big Boss is not stupid. He won't hide in such an obvious location!"
