Chapter 54- A Familiar Voice
As the Prime Minister's lifeless body fell back onto the bed, the thugs' expressions didn't change in the slightest at their boss's actions.
The President, however, upon staring blankly at his Prime Minister's corpse for a moment he turned and roared at the young man.
"What have you done?! Do you think you'll get away with killing the Prime Minister of this country?!"
The young man in response to the President's words, suddenly pressed the gun against his forehead.
"You want to die old man?"
The President was first taken aback, but he soon recovered and stared at the young man with a steady gaze.
After a moment of silence, the young man suddenly pulled the trigger. However, instead of a gunshot going off the gun clicked and was out of bullets.
The Present didn't so much as flinch when the young man pulled the trigger.
"*Tsk*… What a badass. That's the President of our country for you."
The young man couldn't help but marvel before he retrieved his gun.
The President released an internal sigh of relief. Only he alone knew how much willpower it took him not to have flinched when the trigger was pulled.
Looking up at the young man before him, the President asked seriously.
"Were you really planning on killing me just now?"
The young man pulled out the empty magazine from the gun and tossed it aside before saying casually.
"Relax Mr. President, I count my bullets."
"Just from that and without mentioning your marksmanship, I doubt you haven't done any military training."
The young man chuckled and then said.
"Mr. President, you're looking at the youngest person to be recruited into the White Tiger armed forces. Though after that guy kicked me out, I'm just the leader of the Black Tiger Gang now."
The young man motioned to the dead Prime Minister on the bed after saying this.
The President couldn't help but be taken aback, but he suddenly frowned and asked.
"What happened?"
The young man remained silent for a moment then said with another chuckle.
"Don't act like you can't take a guess, the military isn't exactly a place that rewards a tree that sticks out too much and is proud about it."
"Nonsense! Our military encourages outstanding individuals to stand out and make a name for themselves. If it's otherwise, then where would this country be in the future?"
The young man looked at the President with a slight smile on his lips then shook his head.
"Maybe don't bring corrupt people under you who don't share your ideals."
The President paused momentarily and then glanced at the dead body on the bed before letting out a sigh.
"Favoritism and pandering are inevitable when in politics."
But after saying this the President smiled and said.
"If you have nothing to do after this then we can talk about reassigning you to the White Tiger group. There's actually another youth within the White Tiger force currently named Han Soo. His marksmanship is already the best among the squad despite his young age and should be no less than yours. If you two were to combine forces it might lead to something great."
After the President extended an offer to the young man, the four thugs suddenly looked at each other before bursting out laughing. The young man also started laughing.
The President seeing this didn't get upset but was curious about their reactions.
Seeing the President's expression, the young man extended his hand for a handshake while saying with a smirk.
"Name's Han Kai, nice to meet you, Mr. President."
The President instinctively reached out and shook Kai's hand, but his face showed a shocked expression as he looked at him.
"Your surname is Han? Are you related to Han Soo?"
With the smirk still on his lips, Kai said derisively.
"I taught that little brat everything he knows. I haven't been keeping up with White Tiger since I left, but to think he joined them from the marines. He even has everyone convinced he's some outstanding marksman. Ha! Don't tell me he's planning on following in his Hyung's footsteps?"
Kai was very amused at this sudden piece of news. But he soon changed the topic before the President could ask any more questions.
"Why don't you carry a gun?"
Kai took out the last magazine he had in his back pocket and fitted it inside the handgun before throwing it to the President.
"If you both had a gun then maybe he wouldn't have ended up like that."
Kai said while once again referring to the Prime Minister.
The President held the gun with both hands and looked at it. Kai, seeing this hesitated before asking.
"You do know how to use a gun right?"
The President hearing this couldn't help but smile. Then in one fluid motion, he flicked out the magazine and after glancing at it he fitted it back inside the gun before chambering a round by pulling back the slider with an audible click.
The four thugs looked rather impressed at the fluidity, while Kai clicked his tongue and said.
"The slingshot method to chamber around? Badass, really badass."
"Now, do you have a plan on how to get out of here?"
The President asked as he got up and tucked the gun in his waist.
Kai in response, thought for a moment before he reached behind him and pulled out a revolver with a comically long barrel. He then aimed it at the wall behind the President and fired.
The four thugs slowly got up, but they showed puzzled expressions along with the President at Kai's actions.
Kai didn't explain and only walked over to where the bullet had pierced the wall. He looked through it and after seeing the room on the other side, he fitted the revolver back into his waist before saying.
"It's a drywall, we can break it down and circle around the zombies."
The four thugs and the President's eyes lit up in understanding.
"We can pull apart the bedframes to break the wall."
One of the thugs said before he moved towards one of the beds in the room.
Kai glanced at the barricade door. Even now the banging of the zombies hadn't lessened, rather it was growing louder and louder. Frowning he said seriously.
"We should hurry, this door won't be able to hold out for much longer."
Everyone nodded and set off to break down the walls. Kai glanced away from the door to help as well, however, the moment he glanced away, rapid-fire gunshots began to ring out in the corridor beyond the door.
Everyone in the room froze before their gazes landed back on the door.
The gunshots continued to ring out along with the screeching of the zombies for a few minutes before it died down. Soon, a knock could be heard on the door before a faint voice asked.
"Is there someone inside? We're here to help."
"Yes, I'm the President and we're in here!"
The President immediately said.
"Mr. President? Hey, we've found the President he's still alive!"
The voice was first surprised before he began yelling at his colleagues.
"Mr. President we're the White Tiger force, we've been deployed to rescue you."
Everyone upon hearing the mention of the name 'White Tiger' was slightly taken aback. Weren't they just talking about this group?
The President was the first to recover and rushed to move the barricade from the door.
The four thugs soon went to help while Kai stood at the back and watched.
Stay tuned to empire
"*Tsk*… Wasted my bullet for no reason."
Kai muttered under his breath as the barricade was moved and the door was opened.
Immediately, a group of men decked in full military gear rushed into the room, some with their Dk7 submachine guns and others with rifles, all raised high in the air.
Kai watched as they secured the President and checked his men. One came over to him but he waved them off.
"Team Leader, look at this!"
Suddenly a shout was heard. Kai turned to see that one of the men was near the bed next to the Prime Minister's body.
Someone near the door where the President was moved forwards after hearing the call. After examining the body, this person turned to look directly at Kai.
"Did you do this?"
Kai raised an eyebrow, but he didn't deny it.
"Yeah, it was me who killed him. He was about to turn, though the bastard deserved it even if that wasn't the case."
"What?"
The soldier who called over the Team Leader suddenly pointed his gun at Kai. The other soldiers who were in the room also raised their guns and pointed at Kai.
"Wait! Don't shoot, this man has saved my life!"
The President suddenly stepped forward before the four thugs could.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers pointing their guns at Kai hesitated, but the man who was called Team Leader held up his hand. Immediately, the soldier's hesitation disappeared, and their guns retracted from Kai.
Throughout all of this Kai was calmly folding his hands over his chest.
"Let's go, there's a helicopter on standby above the roof."
The Team Leader said before he moved towards the door.
Kai, however, suddenly stepped forward in front of him.
"What?"
The Team Leader asked upon seeing Kai standing in front of him.
"How do you know it was me who shot that guy? I wasn't holding a gun."
Kai asked as he stared at the Team Leader's covered face with suspicion. Even though this person's voice was slightly muffled by the ski mask he wore, Kai felt that it was extremely familiar.
