Chapter 312 Blowing Up the Laboratory
Noah knew infiltrating Trenton's laboratory to steal Madeline's antidote was a very dangerous
undertaking. He had memorized the layout of the entire place before putting the plan into action.
That was why he could quickly find an opening in the ceiling that led to an air vent. He led the man up
the ceiling and prepared to leave from there.
After Noah climbed up, he turned around and reached out to help pull the man up. However, the man
turned around and walked away.
Noah's eyes widened when he saw the man take a lighter out of his pocket. He immediately knew what
the man wanted to do.
Trenton's bodyguards had also located them through the security cameras. They rushed into the room
and began fighting with the man.
The lighter fell from the man's hands and dropped right underneath Noah.
Noah put on a mask, jumped down nimbly from the ceiling, and took out several bodyguards with a
roundhouse kick.
The man was surprised to see Noah join in the fight. Taking advantage of the distraction, he threw off
the bodyguards he was fighting and dove toward the lighter.
However, while he was still some distance away, Noah picked up the lighter.
One of the bodyguards tried to summon reinforcements through the walkie-talkie, but Noah took him
down with a punch.
"You'd better leave! Otherwise, it'll be too late!" the man yelled while shoving Noah toward the exit.
Noah reached back and grabbed his arm. "I'm not leaving without you!"
"What a d*mn bother. You asked for this yourself!" While being dragged by Noah toward the exit, he
pressed a button on the remote control in his hand and smiled guiltily at Noah.
Noah was taken aback. He soon heard booming sounds from above him.
He blew up all the floors above us!
The bodyguards did not know what to do. They stopped pursuing Noah and the man and tried to run
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoward the exit.
Soon, the ceiling collapsed along with huge boulders, burying several bodyguards underneath. It would
not take long before the entire tenth floor was buried.
Noah dragged the man and ran in a certain direction.
In the floor plan he had studied, there was a hidden room next to the laboratory.
The leader of the bodyguards was also running in the same direction. When Noah saw that, he could
tell he had made the right choice.
When the three people reached a wall, the bodyguard used the retina scan to unlock a door. Behind
the door was an elevator.
The bodyguard rushed in and tried to close the door without Noah and the man, but Noah managed to
stop the door from closing.
Once inside the elevator, Noah began to fight the bodyguard. The space in the elevator was cramped,
and they could not unleash their full powers. It was difficult to say who would be the eventual winner.
The man who had just blown up the laboratory folded his arms and watched them fight.
When the elevator door opened once again at the surface, the bodyguard slumped on the floor next to
Noah's feet.
On the other hand, Noah's legs were barely supporting his weight. The virus in his body was taking
effect.
He could feel his strength sapping away and his body temperature rising. He was beginning to see
double, and the sounds were muffled.
Countless bodyguards swarmed them as soon as the elevator doors opened.
The man did not stand back and watch this time. He fought alongside Noah and knocked out the
bodyguards one by one.
However, it was a battle of attrition, and they would eventually be too exhausted to fight.
Moreover, Noah's condition was declining. He would soon fall unconscious.
Noah flourished his fists, which intimidated the bodyguards. He took the opportunity to stuff the antidote
vial in the man's pocket and shoved him into an opening he had created.
By the time the man turned around to check on Noah, Noah was already buried amid the bodyguards.
Several bodyguards were running toward him.
Noah's eyes were bloodshot. His movements with his dagger were almost mechanical by now.
The only thing that made him carry on was the image of Madeline and the three children in his mind.
My daughter is waiting for me to go home!
The bodyguards saw Noah teetering and thought he was going to collapse. They were about to pounce
on him when Noah went on a last-ditch effort and took down a dozen men.
The bodyguards were shocked by Noah's intimidating display.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard from the outside. Noah could vaguely see a gigantic figure walking
toward him. The figure seemed to be wielding a machine gun.
That's a cool entrance. I should switch places with him.
The man soon arrived in front of Noah and picked him up with an arm. "I f*cking hate running errands,"
he said.
At the same time, gunshots were heard from all around the castle. Noah guessed there were three
separate groups fighting each other.
The first belonged to Trenton. The second was Noah's subordinates. The third must be the people
Madeline sent to protect him.
Noah smiled when he thought of that.
The tall man was firing his machine gun while retreating. When he saw the smile on Noah's face, he
said mockingly, "You wealthy people get turned on by the weirdest things."
Trenton's bodyguards were focusing their attacks on Noah; perhaps they received the command to do
so.
Very soon, the man ran out of ammunition, though the bodyguards that swarmed toward them kept on
increasing.
He dragged Noah and hid behind an Aston Martin for cover. The sound of bullets hitting the chassis
was deafening.
"You should go." Noah shoved the man away again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man hesitated. Based on his experience, he guessed that the probability of Noah surviving was
close to zero. It was better for him to escape alive and hand the antidote to Noah's wife instead of both
of them losing their lives here.
That way, Noah's death would not be in vain.
After thinking it through, the man straightened his legs and tried to sneak away with his waist bent. He
had not taken a few steps when a shadowy figure appeared next to Noah.
He began to walk faster.
"Hey, you can't be serious! He paid money to hire you, but you're using him as a distraction at this
critical point!"
The man turned his head around. He saw a diminutive figure dressed in black walk up next to him while
carrying Noah on their back.
He was confused why the figure sounded like they were happy at Noah's misfortune.
"I'm so tired. Help me carry him." The figure in black tossed Noah to the man and rubbed their
shoulders.
A black ATV dashed into the castle and stopped in front of them. The figure dressed in black jumped
into the vehicle first.
The figure in black rolled their eyes at the man when they saw him standing there. "If you want to die,
don't take him with you! If he's dead, Maddie will kill me!"
The man came to his senses and carried Noah into the vehicle.
In the vehicle, he noticed that there was a doctor inside. The doctor immediately took Noah and
administered first aid.
"Oh? He's poisoned," the doctor said.
"What poison?" the figure in black said curiously.
"I don't know yet, but I'll leave it to Andy to find out." The doctor began to patch up Noah's abdomen
wound.
The man's gaze swept between the two people. They sounded like they were here to save Noah, but
they did not sound like they were too concerned about him.
"Hey, what's your name?" the figure in black asked while glaring at the man. They had noticed the man
was wearing a medical smock and did not look like Noah's bodyguard.
They would not spare him if he was found to be Trenton's underling.
