Chapter 1714: Chapter 1714

"Oh! You... you killed someone?" The woman was excited, "Quick, tell me, what does it feel like to kill someone?"

Usually, as a woman, if she hears someone kill, she would definitely be scared and tremble, but this woman was unexpectedly very excited.

The man laughed and said, "At first I was a little scared, but when I saw the dagger in my hand pierce into that guard’s chest, I felt some kind of magical power being activated within me. I don’t know how to describe it, but for a moment I felt like I was becoming superhuman, like I could fly into the sky!"

"What happened next? Tell me more."

"Then I picked up the gun and shot at those lowly slaves at will. Tsk tsk tsk, seeing their painful expressions and their cries before death, it felt amazing!"

"Even though I wasn’t there, it sounds exhilarating. Hey, take me with you next time you have such a mission?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? The Earl is in a meeting now, Jerris is on the ninth floor, and usually, he never comes out except to bring women in. Hey... you heavy-handed corpse, can’t you be gentler!"

You had heard enough in the corridor, and quickly darted out. By the time the two passionate individuals noticed you, you had already struck one unconscious with a hand knife, and then pinched the man’s throat with your right hand, lifting him entirely off the ground.

Under your control, the man was like a three-year-old child, with no resistance at all. When he realized he had met a formidable opponent, he instinctively slowed down his actions. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"You’re smart." You said with a smile.

"Don’t kill me, I’ll tell you everything I know." The man was indeed smart. He understood that if you really wanted to kill him, he would have already been dead.

"Talk. Where are the researchers you captured last night locked up?"

The man hesitated for a moment, but only hesitated for two seconds before a sharp pain shot through his neck: "I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"

"I warn you, don’t waste my time."

Upon hearing your voice cool down, the man hurriedly spoke, "The Earl locked them in another place, not in this building. But I don’t know the exact location, I just followed the leader back last night."

"Is Jerris your leader?"

Looking at the man before you, you smiled and said, "Very interesting. You’re neither Jerris’s subordinate, nor an Angel Envoy, nor a Disciple. I really can’t figure out what role a nobody like you plays in all this."

"Don’t, don’t kill me! Once I finish this last job, I can become a Marquis!"

"A Marquis? Oh, I see, it seems you’re related to the Chairman of the Haitian Financial Group."

"How, how do you know?" The man was shocked.

"You told me." You chuckled and then asked, "Last night, besides capturing people, what did you take?"

"Hmm?" You increased your grip instantly.

Wailing, the man spoke, "I really don’t know! The item was taken by Jerris!"

"Some kind of cuboid. I didn’t see it clearly, only know it’s in Jerris’s hands."

You frowned and continued to ask, "You just said there’s no time, what does that mean?"

Before the man could speak, you added, "I advise you to answer honestly, or I will directly snap your throat!"

Upon hearing this, the man felt a terrifying sound in his neck bones, and hurriedly spoke, "I’ll tell you! The Earl told us his mission is completed, and he’s about to leave."

"11 o’clock at noon."

"I don’t know either."

Upon hearing this, you squeezed with your right hand fiercely, resulting in a "crack!" sound. The man’s neck tilted, and you tossed him aside like trash.

"11 o’clock? Whatever!"

At this moment, you took out your phone, turned it on, and it rang as soon as it booted up. Seeing it was a call from Heavenly Fox, you immediately answered.

Before you could say anything, Heavenly Fox shouted with a slightly sharp voice, "Li Jiu, where are you?! Why did you take so long to power on?! Don’t tell me you’re still in bed with a beauty next to you!"

This was the first time you heard Heavenly Fox yelling in such an ungraceful manner, and you couldn’t help but laugh, "Little White, your imagination is impressive, but things are not as you think. I’m currently in the basement of the Haitian Building."

"You entered the Haitian Building?"

"The military and police have started a siege on the Haitian Financial Group, and they’ve prepared heavy weapons!"

You frowned slightly and responded to Heavenly Fox, "Heavenly Fox, listen to me. I’m very safe at the moment. The critical thing is I just received intel about a Hell Earl who has been lurking in the Haitian Financial Group for a long time. Last night, he and Jerris broke into Hengtai’s research base. Those researchers were taken by him and are currently held elsewhere. You all need to cast a wide net to find them. This Earl will leave before 11 o’clock... No, wait! He’s definitely already on the move. You must lockdown all sea routes, don’t let them enter international waters!"

Heavenly Fox hurriedly agreed, "Got it! But you must be careful yourself!"

"Don’t worry, I’m descending into the Nine Layers of Hell this time to end that bastard Jerris’s life!"

As you said this, your phone’s signal disappeared. Smiling, you hung up the phone, understanding well that you had already been discovered by the enemy.

At this point, the entire building started to tremble, and fierce battles seemed to break out on the ground. Subsequently, alarms blared through the building, causing many people to panic and hide in corners.

Knowing the military and police had begun their operation outside, you turned on the light, glanced at the woman on the ground, and clicked your tongue twice, sighing lightly, "Such a beautiful face, yet both the body and soul have been ruined."

The alarm threw the entire building into chaos, and the basement you were in was no exception.

Hearing the messy footsteps outside, you chuckled and shook your head, knowing very well, "These people outside are just newly recruited Disciples of Hell; they’re real cannon fodder, having just undergone ideological cleansing. They are not much different in ability from ordinary people."

From a box, you retrieved two screwdrivers, one Phillips and one flathead.

And with that, you opened the door.
