Chapter 1842: Dangers Lurking
Cloud spoke a few more words, considering it as his explanation. The black-clothed individuals in the room nodded one after
another, and then Cloud waved his hand, "You can all leave now."
At this moment, the black-clothed individuals in the room began to withdraw. Since Felix was standing at the far end and under the
pressure of Vicki's gaze, he wished he could be the first one to leave the room. Just as he lifted his foot to take a step forward, he
realized that the departure of these black-clothed individuals was in a particular order. It seemed to be based on their assigned
numbers.
He couldn't discern at once whether they were leaving in descending order or ascending order according to their numbers. But his
foot had already stepped forward and couldn't be taken back, causing him to stagger a few steps before regaining his balance.
The loud noise caught Cloud's attention.
Cloud's fierce gaze scanned towards Felix, filled with deep questions and curiosity.
"What's going on? No discipline," Cloud reprimanded.
After his reprimand, Cloud walked straight towards Felix.
Felix hurriedly stood upright, keeping his head down. Worried that Cloud would discover him, he tried to avoid making eye contact.
Cloud stopped half a meter away from Felix and scrutinized the black-clothed individuals in front of him. A frown of dissatisfaction
appeared on his face. What twas it now? He couldn't believe he still had such restless subordinates.
"Everyone else, step back. You, stay!" he shouted sternly.
Felix's expression tensed up, and he involuntarily glanced towards the door. At this moment, if he were to provoke Cloud, and with
Wu Hao not by his side, he wouldn't necessarily be a match for Cloud in a fight. After all, Cloud was a professional.
So he had to endure it until he had someone to help him deal with the situation.
He lowered his head even further, looking at his own toes. Just as Cloud took two more steps forward, almost reaching him face to

"You have quite the audacity, not lifting your head or answering," Cloud was angry. "Raise your head."
At this moment, Cloud's hand had already formed into a chopping motion, ready to strike at any moment.
Felix knew he couldn't dodge it. He could only slowly raise his head. In that moment, their eyes were about to meet.
Suddenly, Vicki, who was not far away, spoke up, "Rayan, cover here, | have something to say to you."
Upon hearing Vicki's voice, Cloud immediately turned and walked towards Vicki. It had been a long tsince Vicki had spoken to
him, ever since the moment she held a pen and almost pierced his carotid artery. He could sense her extranger, and he was
afraid.
So when Vicki took the initiative to speak to him, he didn't care about his suspicions or reprimanding his subordinates. He put
everything aside.
Cloud quickly reached out and held Vicki's arms. "Vicki, what do you want to say to me?"
Felix had planned to take this opportunity to quickly slip out of the room, but when he heard Cloud call out "Vicki," his feet were as
if they were made of lead, unable to move.
In the next moment, he saw Cloud embrace Vicki, the two of them intimately ignoring everyone else. He was going mad with
jealousy.
Cloud hugged Vicki tightly and said excitedly, "I was wrong before. Don't ignore me. What do you want to say?"
"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back to the room," Vicki's gaze remained fixed on Felix. She squinted her eyes, her
expression becoming dangerous. Damn Felix, he thought she wouldn't recognize him just because he showed only his eyes. Even if
he turned into ashes, she would still recognize him. Moreover, his distinctive electric peach blossom eyes, if they were to meet
Cloud's gaze, they would surely be exposed.
Was he crazy? How many people did he bring? He even dared to intrude into Cloud's territory alone. He was underestimating Cloud
too much. She couldn't relax at all.
Vicki had no certainty in her heart. She didn't push away Cloud and let him embrace her. Only by doing so could she lower Cloud's
guard.
Cloud quickly pulled Vicki towards the inner room.
Felix turned his head and saw that he was still standing there. Cloud was displeased, "Useless fool, why are you still standing
there? Next time, I'll settle the score with you."
Felix clenched his fists behind his back, forcefully pinching his palm. His eyes almost burned with fire, but he managed to control
himself.
If he really wanted to save Vicki, he couldn't expose himself now.
Even though he was unwilling, he hadto leave the room. He watched helplessly as Cloud embraced Vicki and they walked into the
inner room, closing the door behind them. He had no idea what they would say or do inside.
He felt consumed by jealousy. It was just a hair's breadth away, and he was about to rush in and separate them.
Stepping out of the room, Felix walked along the dark corridor. Suddenly, someone grabbed him and pulled him into a hidden
passage.
Felix looked up and saw that it was Wu Hao, finally putting his mind at ease.
"How did your investigation go?" Felix asked.
"Mr. Saunders, the situation is worse than we imagined. | encountered at least eighteen black-clothed individuals just now," Wu
Hao replied.
Felix frowned, "There were twelve people in the meeting just now. That means there are more than thirty of them in total, and we
only have eight people. Even if our people are skilled, not all of Cloud's subordinates are useless. We don't have much chance of
winning."
"There's only one way. Mr. Ball and his men need to infiltrate and spread out in the corners. Move silently and take out a dozen of
their people first, then directly attack their stronghold," Wu Hao suggested.
