Chapter 1845 - Friend or Foe
Cloud's face instantly darkened. "Felix? It's you! Vicki, you deceived me!"
No wonder he found it strange. Vicki had always been hostile towards him lately, so why did she suddenly change her tune? It was
all a false hope. It suddenly dawned on him that during the meeting, the suspicious black-clad person he suspected must have
been Felix in disguise. Vicki recognized him before he did, which was why she called out to him. No wonder!
With these thoughts, Cloud becfurious. He abruptly pulled out a remote control from his waist. As he pressed the button,
electric currents surged through the electronic locks on Vicki's wrists and ankles, rendering her immobile in an instant.
"Damn it!" Vicki cursed under her breath. How could she forget that she was still under Cloud's control?
As she felt her limbs go out of control and her balance faltering, she was about to fall to the ground. At that moment, Felix reached
out his hand, and she naturally fell into his embrace.
Felix whispered into Vicki's ear, "Don't worry, | have a way to disable the electronic devices."
With that, he quietly reached into his pocket, gripping a metal rod and flipping the switch.
Then, he signaled Vicki with a glance.
Vicki subtly moved her wrists and ankles, and indeed, all the electronic locks malfunctioned. However, Cloud was unaware of this.
So, Vicki subtly winked at Felix, indicating that it was okay for now and that they shouldn't make any rash moves.
Cloud, seeing Vicki in Felix's arms, was almost consumed by jealousy. How could he bear to see his beloved woman with another
man?
"Vicki, | won't let go. Originally, for the sake of your face, | didn't want to kill Felix. But you forced me. Only after he dies will you

Felix lazily scanned Cloud and shrugged his shoulders. "Do you really think | calone?"
Cloud sneered, "It doesn't matter. I'll deal with you first. Then, I'll take Vicki and retreat from here. Didn't you hear it just now? | was
originally planning to abandon this base. Felix, today is your day of death!"
Felix nonchalantly replied, "If you have the guts, cat me. Stop the nonsense."
"Bring it on!" Cloud drew a dagger and lunged directly at Felix. To avoid harming Vicki, he chose to attack Felix's left side.
But Felix instinctively protected Vicki with his body and searched for a countermeasure.
Just as Cloud's dagger was about to strike Felix, Vicki suddenly launched an unexpected attack from the right, sweeping her leg
and kicking the dagger out of Cloud's hand.
With a clang, the sharp metallic sound echoed against the wall before it fell to the ground.
Cloud looked at Vicki in astonishment. "The electronic locks malfunctioned? How is that possible?"
He glared at Felix, demanding, "What method did you use? What kind of high-tech gadget is that?"
Felix twirled the metal rod in his hand in a cool manner before putting it back into his pocket. "Why should | tell you?"
Cloud immediately realized, "Apart from an electromagnetic pulse, no technology can achieve this. The warlord actually has a
miniaturized version. It's truly unexpected. No wonder everyone is fighting over it. It lives up to its reputation.”
Felix shrugged. "Even if | gave it to you, without the blueprints, you wouldn't be able to replicate it. Instead of wasting tbeing
envious, you should have your people focus on researching technology and avoid engaging in petty thievery and robbery. What's
the use of relying on stealing and looting?"
"You bastard!" Cloud, infuriated, threw a punch at Felix.
Felix sidestepped, evading the attack. In terms of actual combat, he was certainly not as experienced as Cloud, but he still had his
skills. And today, he wasn't alone.
Cloud threw two more punches and swept his leg, kicking towards Felix.
Felix managed to fend off two blows, and when he couldn't dodge the next attack, Vicki suddenly intervened, blocking Cloud's
potentially fatal kick.
"Do you insist on being my enemy?" Cloud's eyes turned red as he angrily shouted.
Vicki quickly struck, repeatedly attacking Cloud with her elbows, each blow filled with anger.
"| said, the last twas the only t| let you hurt him. From now on, if you dare to lay a fingeron him, | will take your life," Vicki
asserted.
Cloud, hit by Vicki's rapid assault, felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, causing him to double over.
The pain wasn't just physical; it was the agony of seeing Vicki and Felix working together, tormenting his heart like hellfire.
Felix also joined the fight, ensuring that Vicki wouldn't be attacked. He defended her against unavoidable strikes.
The sight of them protecting each other intensified Cloud's rage.
As the battle grew more intense, a commotion suddenly erupted behind them. More people rushed in, all dressed in black.
Cloud, realizing something was amiss, couldn't understand where so many people cfrom. They didn't seem to be his people.
Clearly, there were two opposing groups, fighting each other but heading in their direction. The situation was much more chaotic
than expected.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicki stared blankly at Felix, coming to his side. She lowered her voice and asked, "You said there were only eight of them in total."
Felix was equally astonished; he looked around but didn't see Mr. Ball, nor did he spot Wu Hao.
"No, these aren't my people," he replied.
Vicki becmore perplexed. "Then who could they be? Friend or foe?"
Felix shook his head. He didn't know either. He shielded Vicki with his arm and said, "The situation isn't good. If something happens
