Hearing Jacob’s statement, the officer fumed as his pupils dilated all of a sudden. He lifted his arm and
was about to attack Jacob, but Jacob swiftly pressed Heidi down with his right hand and struck the
officer’s chest with his left elbow.
As blood oozed out of the officer’s chest, Jacob bolted out of the meeting room and disappeared in the
blink of an eye.
“Oh my god! He’s dead!” Someone in the meeting room shrieked.
A special troop officer with a pair of piercing eyes commanded, “Stay calm, everyone. That guy must
be an accomplice of the terrorist group. We’ll make sure to catch him!”
An accomplice of the terrorist group? Looking flustered, the guests gradually calmed down.
Krish and Ludwig exchanged glances coincidentally.
After remaining silent for a moment, Krish mumbled, “Master Ludwig, I feel like…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLudwig’s eyes darkened as he shook his head and said, “Keep calm and observe the situation.”
On the other hand, Jacob carried Heidi to the stairway after leaving the meeting room.
“Are those men bad guys?” Heidi’s crisp voice echoed in the empty stairway.
Jacob lowered his head to stare at Heidi with a bright smile. “You’re such a smart girl. They are bad
guys. But don’t be afraid, daddy will protect you.”
“But those bad guys have guns with them.” The little girl shrunk her body in fear.
“Don’t be afraid. Daddy has support.” Jacob patted Heidi’s back gently and said, “Close your eyes.
Daddy will bring you to find our support now.”
“Okay.” Heidi hummed and obediently closed her eyes after burying her head in Jacob’s shoulder.
“What a good girl.”
Jacob wore a grateful smile. Then, he moved swiftly up the staircase as if he was as light as a feather.
Jasmine was fiddling with her dagger in the security room. However, her expression turned solemn all
of a sudden when she observed one of the screens.
Just then, the stairway door on one of the floors was flung open abruptly. With their eyes filled with
ruthlessness, a group of armed officers swarmed out of the stairwell and spread out into a formation. In
no time, a gust of wind gushed up from the floor below.
The next second, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of gunfire emerged incessantly.
As the smoke from the gunfire gradually dispersed, a piece of clothing that was riddled with holes was
seen on the ground which was covered with bullet shells.
Taken aback, a team leader with a badge on his shoulder yelled, “Police Opera—”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore he could finish the word, a rumble that resembled a monster’s roar came forth.
While the rumble continued, streaks of Invisible Battle Qi pierced through the air like sharp-pointed
arrows and ripped into a few officers’ bodies.
As a bloody odor dispersed in the air, Jacob glided past the floor and continued moving toward the floor
above.
Having witnessed this scene in the security room, Jasmine wore a serious expression and stopped
fiddling with her dagger.
After contemplating for a second, she took up a walkie-talkie and said, “Dave, I have a problem here.”
Standing in front of Table No.1 in the auction hall, Dave frowned and nodded. “Okay. I’ll send Bugsy to
handle it right away.”
After putting down the walkie-talkie, Dave turned to look at Benny and blurted with a smirk, “I’ve heard
a lot about you, Mr. Fest.”
