Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623
The dark armor was covered with a black cloak woven from coarse hemp, and in his hand was a revolver, with a bit of wood shavings clinging to his black leather boots.
The malevolent intruder locked his eyes on Taniel and Luodeni as soon as he entered the room.
He stared murderously at Taniel and Luodeni.
Then, scrutinized them closely.
Behind him, outside the door, were dozens of fully armed attackers who had already aimed their guns at this place.
The leader glanced at Taniel and Luodeni in the room, and after confirming their identities, he waved his hand.
At his command, the dozens of subordinates rushed in like wolves and tigers.
The room, already not very spacious, suddenly became cramped.
However, seeing this scene, Taniel and Luodeni both breathed a sigh of relief.
It was obvious, the other side wanted them alive.
This was good enough news!
As long as they didn't want them dead right away, it meant there was room for maneuver.
They still had a chance to escape.
There were no 'Professionals'.
At least, not in sight!
This increased their chances of survival once again!
Taniel put away the potion and pulled out the revolver.
Luodeni also stored away his scroll, pulling out a clearly oversized shotgun from somewhere.
The two of them pulled the triggers almost simultaneously.
The shotgun sprayed dozens of pellets in a fan shape, completely enveloping the attackers crammed in the room.
Screams filled the air instantly.
Taniel's revolver aimed at the leading intruder—being a 'Professional', Taniel possessed far superior physical strength, and his time in Lorde had truly honed his shooting skills.
Thus, this shot hit accurately.
"Ah!" Read complete versıon only at novel⸺fire.net
With a tragic scream, the leading intruder flipped and fell to the ground, instantly lifeless.
Taniel and Luodeni didn't bother to check, as the latter gave a low shout, his hefty figure moving swiftly towards the back of the room.
At this moment, Luodeni moved with agility, making it hard to believe he was a man weighing over two hundred pounds.
The back of the room led to a bedroom.
Once the wardrobe in the bedroom was opened, Luodeni lifted the panel at the bottom, and immediately, a downward passage appeared in Taniel's view.
Luodeni took a deep breath, tightened his belly a bit, and then leapt into the passage.
Taniel followed closely.
When Taniel landed, he saw Luodeni lighting a long fuse on the explosive.
"Aren't you afraid of being blown to bits while sleeping? Who builds a secret passage in a wardrobe?"
"It's not like wearing a box on your head, imagining you've got a whole kingdom—the cardboard crown fantasy?"
This Deer Academy teacher, the second consultant of the Lorde police, couldn't help but quip.
Secret passages in dressers always gave him a child's playhouse feeling.
And those explosives.
Just a glance, Taniel was sure, if they exploded.
The house above would surely be blown sky-high.
"But I'm more afraid of being unprepared!"
"At least it gives me some control at critical moments!"
Speaking, Luodeni lit the long fuse, then, the stout 'information broker' tossed the explosive into the freshly opened box of explosives, and turned to run once more.
Taniel followed behind without missing a step.
At this point, the two were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, neither could escape.
Only by sticking together could they hope to survive.
The attackers just now?
They were just the appetizer.
The two were well aware of this.
These people were meant to capture them more safely.
Simply put, the mastermind was worried Luodeni had made some unknown dangerous arrangements in his 'lair', so used these ordinary people to test the waters.
And once everything was clear?
That's when the net would be drawn.
Both Taniel and Luodeni understood this.
Therefore, they dared not relax.
They bypassed two solid metal doors.
When Luodeni heavily closed the door behind them—
The sound of a violent explosion echoed.
The ground trembled continuously.
Luodeni, sweating profusely, wiped his forehead while panting, and sat down heavily.
Taniel, on the other hand, patted off the dust on his body and began to survey the surroundings.
They were inside a square secret chamber, with no obvious exits besides the metal door behind them.
Suddenly, a bad premonition rose in Taniel's heart.
Taniel tentatively asked.
Luodeni didn't answer immediately, but after several more breaths, he opened his mouth.
"Huff, huff, I'm exhausted."
"I haven't run in ten years."
Luodeni said, straightening up, pointing to the door behind, "This is a door I forged with alloy, mixed with some Secret Art Formation, not only capable of withstanding gunpowder weapons, but also resisting the 'Mystical Side'. Even a fifth-order 'Professional' would find it hard to break through this door in a short time."
Taniel looked at the somewhat proud Luodeni.
"Then, we naturally wait for rescue!"
Luodeni said with confidence.
