Chapter 521: Chapter 336: CIA Takes Action_3 Chapter 521: Chapter 336: CIA Takes Action_3 “Yes, Father.”
A group of Royal Family members were each holding their own folded water lanterns, preparing to go and pray for blessings.
Just then, a loud bang erupted.
An explosion roared from within the Grand Palace, flames soaring into the sky, accompanied by gunfire that sounded like exploding beans, spreading toward where the King was.
“No good, there are assassins, protect the King!”
The King’s nearby guards turned pale, hearing the dense gunfire and screams, realizing something was amiss, and immediately prepared to flee with the King.
At that moment, the Royal Family members stood dumbfounded before reacting, their faces turning pale with fright, thrown into disarray, as they experienced such an event for the first time. In Siam, someone dared to assassinate the Royal Family, a capital offense!
King Raha was extremely nervous and kept saying, “Notify the army and police to come here to the Grand Palace immediately, take my children and wife…”
Before he could finish, several grenades were thrown in.
After the grenades exploded upon hitting the ground, the surrounding crowd immediately screamed and collapsed in heaps.
The celebrating crowd, seeing their companions mutilated by the blast, shrieked and ran around in chaos.
This disarray was perfect for an assassination, as several fully armed agile soldiers carrying a variety of light and Heavy Weapons rushed into the celebration.
They completely ignored the chaos and started firing at the guards.
The civilians along the way were also indiscriminately shot, becoming collateral victims of the chaos.
The guards’ counterattack was sometimes hesitant due to the civilians running around; they could only shout for people to duck, but amidst the chaos, the civilians hardly managed to comply.
Although there were only a few attackers, their marksmanship was precise, their movements swift, unlike ordinary people—often a few shots were enough to fatally shoot the guards in the head.
Most of the guards were armed only with pistols; their firepower was too weak, and most of the return fire was dodged by the attackers using cover and civilian shields.
Therefore, in the shootout, the dozens of guards were overwhelmed and utterly outmatched.
“These are the Super Soldiers.”
The guard protecting King Raha’s life narrowed his pupils; he had just coordinated with several companions to fire a barrage of bullets at an assassin, who was always swift in moving and rolling to dodge by using the chaotic crowd as cover. His actions were incredibly fast, beyond common sense, something not even elite special forces could achieve.
A thought flashed through the guard’s mind: only the Super Soldiers of the Jieke Group could perform .
Seeing an attacker aiming a gun at the King, he tackled the King to the ground, using himself as a shield.
A burst of bullets swept over, turning him into a sieve.
“Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh!”
King Raha cried out in horror as a grenade suddenly rolled to his neck.
With a flash of flame, two bodies were blown several meters away.
“Target down, retreat, Team Two prepare for support, Team Three create chaos outside, Team Four secure the exit.”
Seeing their objective fulfilled, the assassins turned and ran.
The chaotic crowd at the scene made pursuit more difficult, and in an instant, the attackers vanished into the crowd.
Twenty minutes after the assassins left, the belated police finally arrived at the scene, but everything was already too late.
This night was destined to be an unforgettable night in Siam.
Because the King who ruled over Siam for a full thirty years was assassinated and killed during the Water Lantern Festival.
