A dangerous feeling imdiately rose inside his heart, just as he was about to draw out his knife, a hand suddenly held his hand in place.
No matter how he tried to move, his hand just would not budge, indicating the strength of the person who was holding him.
His heart started to beat quickly, just as he was about to turn around to face the person holding his hand, a voice suddenly resounded in the air.
"It's , Roland."
Hearing that, Denis could finally heave a sigh of relief. At the sa ti, he could not help but look at Roland carefully.
The dangerous feeling he felt earlier was not sothing that could be faked. He rarely felt this way even though he kept on fighting on the streets during his highschool days.
For Roland to make him feel that way, that could only an one thing. Roland was not as simple and as weak as he looks.
Before, Denis rely respected Roland due to Martin. After seeing how he treats the people around him, Denis' respect towards Roland rose.
Now, however, his respect ca out of the fact that Roland might also be a formidable fighter like him, or he might even be stronger.
After all, before he could even react, Roland had already closed in towards him.
"Can we trust them?" Roland asked.
The system prompt telling him that he face-slapped soone was ignored by him as he focused on the current situation.
From the hints given by Martin earlier when they spoke over the phone, Roland imdiately understood that so things were not going as they wanted. There was a traitor in their group, and Roland imdiately understood the aning from Martin's double aning words.
"They are my childhood friends," Denis answered.
"Alright," Roland nodded his head he beckoned for the others to get out.
Imdiately after, Stacey and the others erged from the bush not far away.
Roland was actually surprised that Martin was able to pinpoint their current location just from the descriptions he stated.
At first, Roland was actually suspicious of Martin too. However, seeing the bloody appearance of Denis and the others, as well the hints that Martin has been giving over the phone, Roland finally let go of his suspicions about them.
"Care to share who we are dealing with?" Roland asked, as he went inside the truck with Stacey and the others.
Instead of answering with words, Denis rely handed his phone to Roland, allowing him to read Martin's ssage.
He then filled Roland who Scar-face and his gang was, their real motive, as well as the current situation in the yacht.
After understanding the situation a bit, Roland only nodded his head before coming up with a decision.
"Let's return to the QP Hotel first and call the police. Let them handle this matter from here on," Roland said.
Although he has the ability to retrieve the yacht on his own, Roland was still inclined to the thinking that it was still better for the authorities to handle matters like this.
However, not everything would go as one would expect.
Denis shook his head as he poured a bucket of cold water over Roland's optimistic views, "We can't. Not to ntion the fact that the police station is very far from here, from Roo's involvent alone, we could only assu that the authorities you were talking about have also been more or less corrupted by Scar-face and the other gangs in Brine City, else, how could they stay unnoticed even until now with their wrongdoings?"
Hidden beneath the police so called justice were actually bribes from those who were holding real power in the city.
And even if they reported, it would still take ti for the authorities to respond. At that ti, Scar-face and the others might notice that they had already escaped, which might prompt them to escape as well.
Thinking of that, Roland frowned and thought that it might indeed be the case.
He already knew about such acts, however, he did not expect that he would also be affected by such acts himself. At the sa ti, Roland understood what Denis was trying to say.
In the end, Roland just nodded his head, "Alright then. But we should also inform the authorities for so formalities."
Denis and the others nodded their heads, clearly supportive of the decision that he has made.
The pick-up truck, carrying over the people, moved, and traveled towards the QP Hotel.
At the sa mont the car drove back, a certain figure erged from the shadows.
"This kid has so capabilities. As expected of the Young Miss, all her actions have so underlying anings behind them."
The secret bodyguard of Stacey murmured as her figure disappeared as she followed behind the car with constant speed, that has already surpassed human limits.
Midway through their destination, Roland, Denis, Captain Coleman, as well as the others alighted from the pick-up truck.
As per their plan, they would no longer wait for the authorities to take action as they decided to take revenge for themselves.
Captain Coleman was the most eager one. He thought that if he were not outnumbered, he would surely not lose so badly and get kidnapped by them.
The pick-up truck moved a hundred ters away. Stacey and the others also alighted as they tried to contact an ambulance as well as the authorities as Roland and the others began to move towards the dock site.
Midway through their destination, Roland suddenly stopped as he looked at the others, "I have so weapons here, choose what you like."
As he said so, a piece of clothing suddenly erged out of nowhere. Inside this piece of clothing were the weapons that Roland had collected earlier, including the guns.
When Roland took cake of them earlier, he also made sure to collect their weapons and store them inside the magical storage device.
The sudden appearance of the clothes startled all of them, however, they did not dwell too much about it, thinking that they only missed it due to the tense situation.
Instead, they imdiately picked a weapon each, as they continued moving forward.
