Chapter 13

  The assassination and white stone grains

  Just at that moment when he saw Jane Sue, Sheilor that in this one year had been heavy heart opened a door gradually, he thought of all the things in the East Forest Region very naturally, then he understood that he didn’t forget it at all. That is his past, no matter whose identity he is using the chip behind his nape, but he is still Sheilor.

  A faint smile emerged on his that ordinary face, he quietly looked at below the window that purple hair girl singing the last song, opened his mouth and said, “I will live well in the future.”

  Charlie Tai frowned slightly and took a look at him, “I never found out, you this hypostatic guy, unexpectedly also will have the potential to be a philosopher.” he said, “but just saw the idol of your mind, you actually would relate it to how to live.”

  “That’s because you this kind of people, never know what a very difficult thing living is originally.” Sheilor had a smile, that pair of like knives thick eyebrows, began to release the special vitality which basically belongs to the young man.

  The cheers in the gymnasium, deadened by the huge French window, that let the crazy atmosphere lowered a lot. The had already been back to the backstage Jane Sue also didn’t have the intention to go back to the stage, in the company of the soothing walk-off song and the soft lighting, the citizens of the Coastal state began to exit reluctantly.

  Sheilor looked at below the window that ground like the receded tide, calm and silent. Although he didn’t really see Jane Sue, didn’t contact the other party in the close distance, but he had been very satisfied.

  He took a deep breath subconsciously, seemed to want to put today’s memory in his mind firmly, and then he would tell uncle and Levi about this in the dream. But the light flower fragrance came to his nose, it’s that pot of people high Thousand Star, accompanied him this young man supplely.

  In the flower pot has a layer of white stone grains covered on the soil.

  And just at this time, the door of the luxury balcony was pushed open. Charlie Tai put the wine glass by the side of the window, was going to put on the coat to leave, a faint doubt emerged on his forehead, because he found out the pushed the door open and came in steward Ken had some terrible-looking on his face. This come after his family for many years loyal subordinate, always will be calm and composed, seldom had this kind of emotional expression… what’s happening?

  “The staffs of the FBI Coastal field service who station in the Radio Management Committee, in the nearby the gymnasium, found the abnormal current band.” the steward Ken looked at Charlie Tai and said in a soft voice.

  Sheilor also turned his body around at this time, but he couldn’t understand what happened after all. The Radio Management Committee will supervise the television broadcast, but what’s the relation the abnormal current band with him these people?

  The steward Ken continued to say with a very fast speed, “it should be the mixed current sent out by the warm start of some kind of large equipment, but the other party used it to hide in the satellite signal band, it’s extremely not easy to be found.”

  At this time, the door of the luxury balcony was pushed open once again, that group from the Secret Service in black suits agents came in succession with the vigilant face. That leading agent team leader said in a heavy tone, “a report came from the Secret Service side, today’s Coastal state, should have some problems.” after he finished this sentence, this about forty years old agent team leader moved his head to one side, listened carefully the voice from the headset, and then he raise his head, said very directly, “we must evacuate immediately.”

  A stream of tense atmosphere diffused throughout the whole luxury balcony, the agents of the Secret Service began to contact with the colleagues outside of the gymnasium, began to get under way the filing processing. And their hands had also put on the holster by the waist, those two agents stuck out their heads to the outside of the door, glanced at all around warily.

  Sheilor had the shock in his heart, he had never expected, just finished watching the Jane Sue concert, incredibly he would be involved into such an event immediately. But then, his eyebrows had a move slightly, because he noticed a strange phenomenon in the room, his that hang down by the body side right hand stretched down slowly, reached the rim of that pot of flower.

  Heard the words of that Secret Service team leader, Charlie Tai didn’t move a bit, he put his coat on his left arm, looked at steward Ken quietly.

  Last night, the steward Ken had already warned him, recently some forces seemed to begin discontented with their lot. But he thought that it’s in the government by law federal society after all, how dare those families would have the assassination in the broad daylight. And the safety precautions by his side had always been done pretty well, also not many people knew that he would come to watch the concert today, so he still come to here according to the established schedule.

  “Probably… that section monitored current hum of the warm start… may be the military mecha.” the steward Ken took a look at Charlie Tai with the anxiety on his face.

  This judgment immediately increased the tense atmosphere in the luxury balcony. The federal mecha is strictly controlled in the military range, if somebody wanted to do some harm to Charlie Tai, even actually use the military mecha, that only explained that the influence of the other party is unfathomable. The more important thing is, this is the extremely rare violent means in the federal strange political history, it explained that the other party had already been out of his mind.

  Sheilor stood behind Charlie Tai silently, after he heard this news, a heavy pressure pressed on his mind. He looked at Charlie Tai quietly, didn’t know what on earth his this friend did, unexpectedly would let some people… come to kill him at all costs in this way.

  Fortunately the protection measure of the Tai family is really airtight, and also in the cooperation of the federal government departments, incredibly monitored the abnormal change in advance. The Capital aspect also gave the clear warning information, at this time, the people in the balcony had the reaction in advance, they should still have the time to leave.

  At the door of the balcony those two agents held the gun with both hands, lowered the body slightly, walked out of the heavy door serenely, began to confirm the safety of the corridor. And inside the balcony several dressed in black suits Secret Service agents, also took out the standard gun from the holster, the thumb of the right hand began to push safe.

  And just right at this time, more than ten incomparable shrills sounded up, more than ten white stone grains all hit on the face of an agent, bloomed open fluffily, hit his face all the blood, the blood scattered everywhere!

  With a stuffy hum, the gun in that agent’s hand also opened fire, shot at Charlie Tai! Pa Pa Pa Pa, a burst of rapid and crisp gunfire, sounded up in the luxury balcony, the after processed gunshot of the agent is crisp but not loud, it’s more like the frying beans sound. After the Pa Pa Pa Pa sounds, the balcony became quiet again, only the low and deep gunshot still had the subtle echo in the room.

  The light gun fire taste diffused in meanwhile.

  The dead body of that agent lay on the ground in the blood, he at least was shot four times, and his face even was hit flesh fuzzy by those stone grains, one of his eyes was burst directly.

  The forty something agent team leader pressed down his muzzle, took a look around the room, confirmed that the last shot of that agent fired, just scraped by Charlie Tai’s body and shot into the wall, only one of his team member was hit on the thigh by the stray bullet, it’s not a fatal wound, then he relieved a little bit.

  Suddenly was encountered the attack of the agent provocateur, the reaction of the Secret Service agents couldn’t be said not quick enough, they shot and killed that man in the shortest possible time. But that agent team leader looked at in the blood that dead body, somewhat could believe his eyes, “Ballmer, why do you… do this?” he said in a low voice.

  The ag
ent could be selected into the Secret Service, of course would be investigated for countless times, to confirm that he would be absolutely loyal to the Federation and the laws, the he would have the qualification to be the personal protection.

  Why this named Ballmer agent would open fire at Charlie Tai, when he was bribed to become an assassinator, it had already become a mystery.

  Even if he were still alive, he still couldn’t answer this question. In the splendor of the First Charter, assassinated the heir of the Tai family, his ending was already doomed. Thus the agent team leader also couldn’t understand, why his team member would become a criminal.

  “We have to evacuate right away.” the agent team leader through the call device, noticed his team members about the incident happened in the balcony, at the same time, he changed the evacuation plan. He looked at Charlie Tai, said in a heavy tone, “since we have already had the agent provocateur, the evacuation route is no longer a secret.”

  The agent team leader reported to the official of the Secret Service about the news of Ballmer mutiny in the fastest speed, and then raised his head, took a look deeply at that young man by the window. He should appreciate the other party at first, didn’t let Charlie Tai die, didn’t let his this group of agents become the sinners of the Federation. But his mood was very complicated and weird, because this young man incredibly found out the problem of Ballmer than they these professionals, and only with the stone grains, interfered Ballmer to shoot…

  By the French window, Sheilor’s chest kept ups and downs, he still stayed in the tension and the fear after the event, some white stone grains scattered by his feet. He was thinking if his reaction was even slower for a moment earlier, it’s afraid of only one thing that Charlie Tai had already become a dead man at this time.

  After that named Ballmer agent came into the balcony, then Sheilor noticed his anomaly. Because that agent searched him outside of the balcony at the most beginning was this man, this agent incredibly didn’t search out the electric shock stick which he hid in the boot, either the professional quality of the other party is poor on top of the world, or the other party had the very important thing in his mind at that time and missed this part.

  The Secret Service agents are specialized to be responsible for the protection of the President and some political leaders, how could the professional quality be poor to this point? But the thing really let Sheilor begin to alert, is the reaction after this agent entered the balcony, when steward Ken told the news, probably a military mecha had the warm start in the range around the gymnasium, although this agent kept the clam same as the other agents, but he seemed too calm, he was so calm that even there was no any doubt and shock in his eyes…

  Uncle Fengyu once gasped in admiration, Sheilor has the talent to know the will of the people. In the perennial machine maintenance career, he has a pair of keen and good at observation eyes, he could notice all the subtle changes around him in the shortest possible time.

  So when he found out the agents took out the guns, and began to push the safe, his eye pupils began to narrow nervously and alertly. And when he noticed that named Ballmer agent, his thumb pushed the safe, but the muzzle began to shift very inconspicuously, and pointed at Charlie Tai quietly, he had the move. Even if it’s just the misunderstanding, he also must had the move.

  His hung down by the rim of the flower pot right hand grabbed a handful of small white stone grains, that stream of scorching hot behind his waist in his body surged up, transferred into the strong trembling power, from under his skin to his palm, he threw the stone grains out suddenly.

  With the mysterious power in his body, the white stone grains unexpectedly became swift and fierce like the bullets at that moment, thus on the ground of the balcony left a eye burst and face badly mutilated dead body.
