Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ruthless Demon Dragon

Wang Chen was the waiter stationed at the hotel front desk. The moment he saw those two foreign men in baseball caps, his heart began to pound violently.

From the two foreigners, he sensed a faint aura of killing intent, and one of them, the taller man, had a scar beneath his left eye.

As soon as the two men got into the elevator, Wang Chen quickly reported the situation to Chu Feng through the earpiece in his ear.

"All units, attention. The target has gone upstairs. Immediately evacuate everyone from Room 708. SWAT and armed police are to hold the elevator and stairway routes separately. Do not let him escape downward."

Chu Feng sat in Room 706 and issued a series of commands. Once Demon Dragon and his companion reached the seventh floor, the Shanghai armed police and SWAT would seal off both the stairs and the elevators, forcing Demon Dragon to flee toward the rooftop.

Before long, the hotel elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and the two foreign men in baseball caps stepped out. Seeing this on the screen, Chu Feng softly said into his earpiece, "Move."

The SWAT and armed police hidden below the sixth floor of the hotel swiftly took control of the stairways on every level. The armed police also shut down the elevator system, and the entire hotel’s elevators stopped running.

The two foreigners walked straight to Room 708. After pressing the doorbell, Jesse opened the door not long afterward.

"Lord Demon Dragon, please come in." Jesse played his part convincingly, without showing the slightest flaw.

"Where are the woman and the child? Hand them over to me. I am taking them away." Demon Dragon did not go in. He remained at the doorway. He spoke in Chinese, but his accent sounded extremely awkward, as though he were from the Land of the Rising Sun.

"The two of them went to the tenth floor. The hotel is holding a family activity, and the child kept insisting on joining, so I let them go."

As Jesse spoke, he secretly glanced at Demon Dragon, but with the large sunglasses hiding his face, he could not make out any expression.

"Then why didn't you go with them? If they run off, can you bear that responsibility? Hurry up and take me there. I am taking them abroad tonight."

Demon Dragon flew into a rage at Jesse's words. This was China, not some foreign country. If anything went wrong, all their previous efforts would be wasted.

"Lord Demon Dragon, rest assured. I have already sent men to follow them. Nothing will happen, and that woman is very obedient."

Jesse could hear the anger mixed into Demon Dragon's tone, so he turned to close the door and prepared to lead Demon Dragon to the tenth floor to find the mother and son.

Jesse walked in front, with Demon Dragon and the other man behind him. As they moved, Demon Dragon suddenly flicked a throwing knife from his hand. It struck Jesse precisely in the back of the head.

Jesse did not even have time to cry out before collapsing to the floor. The foreigner who had come with Demon Dragon saw him suddenly strike and kill his subordinate, yet showed no surprise at all, as if it were only natural.

"Truly worthy of Demon Dragon. So swift, so ruthless. I finally see it for myself today."

Chu Feng's voice came from behind Demon Dragon. The moment he opened the door and stepped out, he saw Demon Dragon make his move and kill Jesse.

"I suppose you must be the mysterious doctor by that old man's side, Chu Feng. It seems this trap was laid by you."

Demon Dragon and his companion both turned around. After seeing Chu Feng, Demon Dragon immediately guessed his identity.

"To have the famous Demon Dragon remember my name is truly my honor. Still, let me advise you: stop struggling. Come back with me. The entire hotel is full of my people. You have nowhere to run."

Chu Feng did not want to waste words with Demon Dragon. This was a hotel, with far too many people inside. If a gunfight were to break out here, tomorrow's headlines around the world would be about a shooting at the Jiahua Grand Hotel in Shanghai.

"If you want me to go with you, then it depends on whether you have that ability. If you do, then take me back. If you do not, then prepare to become one more soul under my blade."

Demon Dragon did not take Chu Feng's words to heart at all. Though he did not know how many men Chu Feng had hidden inside the hotel, he had weathered far greater storms than this, and he had absolute confidence in his own skills.

"Then let's try."

As Chu Feng spoke, he suddenly flung six surgical blades from both hands behind his back.

But Demon Dragon's reaction was no slower. He immediately pulled a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it into the corridor.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed through the entire hallway, and the hotel's smoke detectors began to blare.

Seeing Demon Dragon throw the smoke bomb, Chu Feng cursed under his breath. This bastard was cunning. He drew a pistol from the back of his waist and gave chase.

The elevators in the hotel had all been shut down, and armed police were stationed on every stairway below the seventh floor. Demon Dragon had no chance of escaping, so he could only run upward from the seventh floor.

"Captain, tell me where Demon Dragon is. Did he run alone, or with his companion?" Chu Feng asked Ma Han, who was watching the surveillance feeds in the control room, as he ran upstairs.

"Demon Dragon has already reached the tenth floor. He's with his companion. It looks like he's trying to escape from the rooftop."

Ma Han quickly located Demon Dragon and relayed the position to Chu Feng. He had even anticipated Demon Dragon's next move.

Jiahua Grand Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in Shanghai, and the only five-star hotel in the city. The building had more than twenty floors!

Chu Feng kept asking for Demon Dragon's position as he ran upward. As long as Demon Dragon did not vanish, Chu Feng could chase him all the way to the roof.

After about five minutes, Chu Feng had reached the top floor of the hotel, and Demon Dragon was just above him, on the rooftop.

Chu Feng stepped cautiously onto the roof, only to find Demon Dragon and his other companion standing motionless there, as if they had been waiting for him to come up.

"Demon Dragon, you are not getting away. Come back with me quietly."

Chu Feng held his gun on Demon Dragon without the slightest relaxation. Earlier, he had already heard from Mad Dog and Jesse that Demon Dragon was cunning by nature and would often strike with a lethal blow when you least expected it.

"Even if I cannot escape, I will make sure to drag you down with me before I die. I know the entire ground below is filled with your people, which is why I ran upward."

Demon Dragon looked utterly confident, his tone calm and indifferent. He did not seem like a man who had been surrounded at all, and there was not the faintest trace of tension on his face.
