"What?! You're THE female colonel?! It is said that it was you who arrested Hawk. Is that true?" asked Shura. He was stumped. Feeling a little intimidated, he sighed deeply to himself. Was this his destiny? Was he going to die by this woman's hands today? Hawk was much stronger than Shura. If he hadn't managed to escape this girl, Shura could not manage to do it at all! Plus, everything was on her side at the moment. There was just no opportunity for him to turn the tide in his favor. Looking at how she had knocked down all his entourages just minutes ago, it would be too stupid not to admit she had great abilities. She could easily take him down in a split second.
"No, you are mistaken. I was the one who executed his arrest. But I only did it in accordance with the law of our country. Now, I am here to arrest you for the same reason. You violated the law, so I have to do what it tells me to do. It's my responsibility to keep our country safe. But it's not for me to decide whether or not to sentence you. I am only the executor," explained Daisy calmly. She couldn't risk relaxing at all. She must stay alert and keep caution until everything was settled. Just like the time when Edward had been shot, being careless in front of her opponent was deadly. If she wanted to avoid getting anyone harmed again, she could never be too circumspect. The same mistake could not be allowed twice. She would not allow Shura any opportunity to fight back again.
"What if I give you money? Lots and lots of money, so much that you wouldn't even be able to count it. Would you release me then?" asked Shura, with a sliver of hope in his heart. He tried to induce Daisy with his dirty money. He thought she must have chosen to become a military officer only because of penury. She shouldn't be able to resist the allure of so much money! She would probably take his bribery. What he didn't know was that Daisy already had so much money that she didn't even get a chance to spend. She would never be able to use up the pool of wealth at her disposal even in her entire life.
"The one thing I detest most in life is drugs. And people like you, who traffic them, are even more abominable! Do you even know how many good families are destroyed because of what you do?!" Daisy exclaimed in anger. What a shameless impenitent jerk! If she ever needed money, Edward, the man-shaped ATM would always be there for her. He was at her home and easier to get access to. So why would she ever choose Shura over Edward for money? Besides, Shura's money was dirty. It had so many people's blood and lives attached to it.
"Why should I care about other people's happiness? All I know and need to know is that I myself would be very unhappy if I didn't have so much money," said Shura unrepentantly. His eyes still glanced around sneakily, hoping to catch on to an escape route. He hoped to take advantage of every mistake Daisy might make. Wondering at how he could bolt under such a circumstance, Shura knew he'd be damned if he decided to give in easily!
"You make so many people homeless and miserable. You destroy their chance to be happy just because you are so greedy for money. How selfish are you?!" Daisy condemned him severely. Daisy was furious at this unreasonable man. She would never forgive Shura. His heart was wicked and ugly.
"I don't think it's such a big deal. Every man on Earth does such things. Every single man is selfish. It's better that I am the fortunate one. Other people's mishaps are none of my business. Besides, dare you say that you are not doing this for your own merit? I don't think you truly care to help those unfortunate men," Shura sneered coldly. His tone was scornful and contemptuous. Shura believed that everyone on the planet was as self serving as he was. All of them only bothered about their own benefits. Besides, Shura believed he was just a common man doing a job anyone else would do! A man like him would never reflect on what he did, Daisy thought. He would never label himself as a dangerous criminal who committed dishonorable deeds.
"I do dare say that I am NOT. I do not care about my merits. I only choose to do right for people. I am here to arrest you only because you ought to be arrested," replied Daisy. She had already seen through Shura's strategy. She knew exactly what he was trying to do - he was on the lookout for escape. But he would need an opportunity to do so.
That was the only reason why he kept talking to try and divert her attention, using his little tricks to delay her decision and gain himself some time. Then he might be able to get away. However, since Daisy already knew the way he thought, she would make sure to never give him the slightest of an opportunity. She was playing tricks with him too, talking back to him just as he wished she would, but always remaining on her guard. Before she could think of a better idea to take him down without firing any shot, she wouldn't be able to move either. She did not want to injure anyone if it wasn't inevitable, but it wasn't easy to keep him under her thumb otherwise. After all, no only Shura himself knew what he was going to do next. The best thing to do was to stay alert and be prepared for any movements he might make.
"What a good joke! You think I will ever believe what you say? It's better you release me now, or I can easily be a much bigger inconvenience to you," said Shura ferociously, gritting his teeth. He hated the way Daisy dealt with him. He despised her stubbornness and righteousness.
"You think you'll ever have a chance to get release from prison once you are captured? You should be more worried about how many kilograms of heroin you're carrying and what that means to your sentence," said Daisy mockingly. Her smile was laced with derision.
"I'll be dead anyway, but you would go to hell with me!" Even before Shura finished speaking, he had made his move. He bent down, quickly picked up a pistol lying near him and aimed it at Daisy. Before he could pull the trigger, however, Daisy made her shot without any hesitation. A bullet hit Shura's right wrist with precision. Before he could react to the hit, she rushed over to subdue him. It was all over just in an instant. Daisy was covered with cold sweat all over. If she had been even a second slower, the person lying on the ground would have been her. Fortunately, her eyes had been closely tracking his movements all the time, just in case of such an accident. Her well-trained battle skills were like conditioned reflexes now, and that had earned her precious time to always be one step ahead of Shura.
Finally, after the fight had ended, the other soldiers rushed over and captured the drug traffickers immediately. Most of them were badly injured. Another mission had been completed successfully. Without even affecting their training session, they had managed to arrest a group of drug traffickers and seized five kilograms of heroin, as well as a total of one million and six hundred thousand US dollars. That was a petrifying number!
"Colonel, you have been hurt. Shall we end this training session now?" Mark asked with worry in his voice upon returning to the combat area. Who would have thought they would run into a group of drug traffickers in a simple field survival training? Everyone was caught by surprise, though luckily, they had not been unprepared. Based on the number of drugs they had been carrying, this must have been a notorious group of drug traffickers!
