Chapter 755
The force unleashed by this explosion was overwhelming. The impact was so severe that even just one room was pummeled, the entire castle to tremble violently.
Enduring the pain, Haylan swiftly rose to his feet. He cast a somber gaze upon the engulfed house, his expression filled with melancholy and concern.
At that very moment, the room where Haylan had recently slumbered was already ablaze, voraciously consurning everything within its grasp.
Had Haylan remained there during the explosion, he would have been killed on the spot.
He wondered who did it.
Who wanted to kill him?
In that very instant, the air was torn apart once again, accompanied by the deafening sound of propulsion. Another PRG missile soared through the sky, hurtling toward its target.
“Sword beam!”
Haylan’s countenance turned grim. He formed a sword finger gesture, pointing it forward with unwavering resolve.
In a breathtaking display, a sword beam surged forth, effortlessly cutting through the sea of fire and bursting out of the window, squarely confronting the incoming missile.
The sword beam and the missile met in mid–air.
The sword beam easily split the missile into two.
This violent collision also caused the bomb to explode.
It was like a dazzling fireworks display lighting up the night sky. The explosion created a massive shockwave that rippled through the air, sending waves of energy in all directions.
“God’s Eye!”
Haylan activated his God’s Eye skill and looked in the direction of the missile.
Around 1600 feet away from the castle, a man in black was staring coldly at Haylan. His gaze was as sharp as that of an eagle’s.
Besides the man in black was a car loaded with many weapons.
“The Bloody Devil!”
With a single glance, Haylan recognized the emblem of the mercenary group adorning the attire of the man in black His gaze turned icy, and a surge of murderous aura welled up within him.
Indeed, Haylan had crossed paths with the Bloody Devil mercenary group in the past and had shown mercy by sparing their lives.
Now, not only did this mercenary group leader not show any gratitude for his mercy, but they had the audacity to keep sending assassins after him, trying to take him out again and again.
It looked like they wanted to be wiped out.
The man in black fixed a piercing gaze on Haylan’s location. After his second shot missed its mark, he calmly reholstered his weapon, stashed it in the car, and swiftly departed from the scene.
He was a professional assassin.
If he failed to make a lethal strike, his best option would be to retreat without delay.
Haylan was tempted to give chase, but he knew he couldn’t afford to do so. He had pressing matters at hand. His priority was to watch Bernard.
“Wait a minute!” Something occurred to him at this moment.
“Bernard?”
Haylan’s expression changed. He hurriedly turned around to look at Bernard’s room.
At this moment, Bernard’s room was empty.
At some point, Bernard had disappeared.
“Where did he go?
Haylin’s expression changed drastically.
Nearly a day and two nights had passed since Reign’s disappearance. Regardless of how well– prepared she might have been, hunger and fatigue would undoubtedly have taken their toll, leaving her weak and vulnerable.
Once Bernard arrived where Reign was, she would definitely die.
Damn it!
Haylan’s eyes turned icy cold as he disregarded the man in black and swiftly made his way toward Bernard’s room.
To Haylan’s disappointment, there was no secret passage to be found within Bernard’s room, nor was there a meteorite wall.
But Bernard had disappeared.
Bernard seemed to have vanished completely. There was no trace of him.
Haylan’s face darkened.
He knew that he had fallen into their trap
The man in black launched his attack precisely when Haylan heard the faint rustling sound emanating from Bernard’s body.
This timing was too coincidental!
Bernard was most likely working with the Bloody Devil mercenary group.
Furthermore, the time span between the first and second attacks was incredibly brief, lasting a mere ten seconds.
Within mere seconds, Bernard had vanished from Haylan’s sight. The speed at which he disappeared was far beyond that of an ordinary person
“Want to play hide–and–seek?
“Alright, I’ll play with you
“Let’s see if you find Rei first or if I find you first.”
Haylan looked at the empty room and smiled.
As the available time dwindled, the tension of the situation intensified. However, Haylan found himself becoming increasingly composed and exhilarated.
This long–lost sensation ignited a surge of exhilaration within him, driving him to the brink of frenzy.
In the basement, Reign, the old man, and the others lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies limp and weak. Their breathing was labored, their eyes filled with a sense of despair and hopelessness.
They had been searching relentlessly but to no avail. The opening hole of the door or the control switch remained elusive.
“It’s over. It’s all over. We can’t get out.”
“I’m so hungry…
“If we can’t get out, are we going to sit and wait for death?”
“There’s water here. We won’t die for a while.”
“Based on past experience, whenever he captures a newcomer, Bernard would promptly arrive to inflict torment upon them. But now, so much time has elapsed, and he still hasn’t shown up. Why the delay?”
Many women sat paralyzed on the ground and discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with despair.
After a long time, they tried all methods, but they still could not find a way to open the door. They were in despair.
Even the old man, the previous owner of the underground cave was in despair!
He also searched everywhere but found no exit.
The exit that he knew had long been sealed by Bernard.
The current him was at his wit’s end. He also felt that he was about to die.
“There has to be a way out. There must be. Lawrence is still waiting for me. I can’t give up now.”
Reign did not feel any despair or despair. Instead, he stood at the side and looked at everything around him. He muttered to himself. “There will be an exit anywhere. As long as we look carefully, we will definitely find it.”
She stood up and looked around with a sharp gaze.
She definitely could not sit still and wait for death. She had to think of a way to leave.
Only by leaving this place would she have a chance to see her younger brother.
“Right, the wind!”
“I felt the wind. If we can find where it is from, it might lead us to an exit.”
Suddenly, Reign’s skin tingled as if it had detected something. Her eyes filled with excitement and joy.
She could feel the wind!
This meant that there was an air vent here!
She quickly took off her clothes and used her skin to feel the airflow. Then, she rushed to the other side.
When she rushed to the vent, she fell into despair again.
It wasn’t a vent but an air conditioner!
The wind was from the air conditioner!
In other words, there was no exit as she had imagined. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Bastard!”
Reign, filled with anger, struck the air conditioner forcefully, causing his chest to heave with exertion.
“If it’s not possible here, then there must be another way. For Bernard to bring so many people down quietly, it must be more than just an exit.”
After venting the anger in his heart, Reign quickly calmed down and fell into deep thought again, thinking about how to escape.
