Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Being Calculated Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Being Calculated Five-river Province is a large coastal province.
Five-river, as the na suggests.
Rich in water.
And surrounded by mountains.
Gonzalez City is the city in Five-river Province closest to the coast.
Yet the location of the capital of Five-river Province is surrounded by mountains.
Leaving the urban area, one finds oneself among huge mountains.
So people have joked that it might as well be renad Five-mountain Province.
At this mont.
Julius Reed was leading his n, marching toward the set coordinates.
Since there was a large camp and people moving, it indicated there definitely was a target!
Even if it wasn’t Baylor Davenport, it had to be soone important!
Building a large camp deep in the forest was very inconvenient.
Though safe, it was also very dangerous.
The vehicle drove along, finally leaving the highway and taking a forest trail.
At first, there was a clear path.
ƝονǤο.ƈօ
But the farther in they went, the more difficult it beca.
Because deep inside, there were mountains all around, and the forest was dense.
It was very easy for ordinary people to get lost inside.
Naturally, it was rarely trodden by human feet.
Moreover, Five-river Province was known for its heavy rainfall.
Now it was spring, and the roads were muddy and difficult to travel.
It wasn’t long before the speed of the vehicles had to be reduced.
“Keep a close watch there, and don’t let anyone escape!” Julius Reed urged Templeton Lena.
There was definitely a big fish inside.
A big fish never surrenders easily, becoming at on the chopping board.
They would fight to the death!
At such tis, it was a matter of whether the net was strong enough or the fish was too powerful!
At this mont, they were less than thirty kiloters from the target.
Though their speed was slow, they were extrely cautious.
They feared any detection equipnt outside, or alarms.
And the convoy gradually spread out, slowly forming a circle, intent on completely encircling the people within.
…
In the forest.
There were people.
Many people.
Devlin took out a cigarette from his bosom and casually threw the empty pack on the ground.
“How many packs left?” he asked.
“Mr.
Devlin, there are fifty packs left,” a mber of the Cyber military faction replied.
“Fifty packs?”
Devlin seed sowhat disappointed, he put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it after taking out a lighter, inhaling deeply.
His face, full of bliss.
“Mr.
Devlin, by betraying Granny Xihua like this, won’t we…” a mber of the Cyber military faction hesitated to speak.
“It’s nothing.”
Devlin didn’t seem to care about the mber’s attitude.
Even many people crowded over.
Clearly, everyone was concerned about this topic.
The cores inside their bodies, even the chips that controlled their heartbeats, were products of the top labs in North Arica from Thunderpeak Hall.
It could be said that they were created by Thunderpeak Hall and must remain loyal to Thunderpeak Hall.
Now, Devlin, also one of the Thunderpeak Hall’s strategists and Granny Xihua’s most trusted person, was leading them in betrayal!
It was evident to any observer that this was betrayal!
But since the last ti a Cyber military faction mber who had questioned Devlin was killed, no one dared to bring up this topic again.
Today, they mustered the courage to ask once more.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Devlin took another indifferent drag from his cigarette and flicked the ash with one hand.
And in his left palm, a key appeared.
An electronic key.
Seeing this key, the mbers of the Cyber military faction turned pale.
It was the key to their lives.
If Devlin pressed the red button on it, soone would fall.
Dead, instantly.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Seeing everyone a bit fearful, Devlin pocketed the key again.
“Your life and death are in my hands, not Granny Xihua’s,”
“That may be so, but we were created by Thunderpeak Hall, and with you, we betray them.
Is this really appropriate?
We always feel like we’re betraying Granny Xihua,” a mber of the Cyber Legion asked, “Mr.
Devlin, this seems disloyal.”
Since their creation, they had been indoctrinated with loyalty.
It seed as if they were constantly reminded of it.
In life, they belonged to Thunderpeak Hall, and in death, they would be the ghosts of Thunderpeak Hall.
They were to be loyal to Granny Xihua.
In the minds of every mber of the Cyber Legion, there was simply no concept of betrayal!
Only loyalty!
Blind loyalty!
They were born for battle, to fight for Thunderpeak Hall!
Until death.
But now, they had betrayed Granny Xihua.
“In the end, you’re just a bunch of tools.
Whoever holds the key to your life is your master.” Devlin, with a cigarette in his mouth, spoke carelessly, “I don’t want to discuss this topic a second ti.”
“But…”
The mber of the Cyber Legion who had just asked the question tried to speak again.
“If you want to follow Granny Xihua, I won’t stop you.” Devlin said, with the cigarette in his mouth, letting the ashes fall to the ground.
“I’m sorry, Mr.
Devlin!”
The Cyber Legion mber bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
The other mbers of the Cyber Legion also hesitated.
Finally, a second mber took a half step forward.
Whiz!
The sound of a hidden weapon being launched.
Thump!
The mber who had left fell to the ground, stiff as a board.
Their bodies were constructed of alloy, even their heads were made of pure tal.
But.
There was one spot that was their vital point.
Devlin hit it with a hidden weapon dispenser.
He killed the mber who had contemplated leaving the Cyber Legion.
“I won’t stop you.
But, I will certainly kill you!” Devlin threw the still-lit cigarette butt to the ground, looking coldly at the remaining mbers of the Cyber Legion, “Rember, your life and death are in my hands.”
The n in black bowed their heads and said nothing.
“I don’t believe in loyalty!
That’s the most useless thing!
I don’t need your wholehearted approval either, it’s troubleso, and I don’t have ti for that!”
Devlin, wearing black gloves, carried the hidden weapon dispenser as he walked back and forth in front of the group.
“You only need to rember one thing: I can kill you at any ti.
That’s enough.”
He walked with his hands behind his back, his expression behind the mask inscrutable.
“I like intimidation, scaring those who don’t obey.
If any of you think you have the ability to kill , just try.
But I assure you, the first to die will be you!”
“Understood!”
The Cyber Legion mbers answered in unison.
“Good, that’s the attitude I like,” Devlin said as he took off his black leather gloves and tucked them under his arm.
The rainforest was too muddy, and his boots had gathered a lot of mud.
He pulled out a knife from his waist and leaned against a tree, picking up his muddy boots.
With the sharp knife, he scraped the mud off the underside.
But suddenly!
He stopped what he was doing.
His eyes lingered on a black pebble stuck to the bottom of his boot.
It was no ordinary stone!
Devlin dropped the knife and pried it out directly with his hand!
It was sothing similar to a large tack!
Crack!
He crushed it forcefully!
Inside the little stone, a shattered chip was revealed.
“Damn it!
Even a lifelong falconer can get his eyes pecked out by the hawk!”
He put his boots back on, picked up the hidden weapon dispenser, and walked into the camp to take out a satellite phone.
After dialing a string of numbers, he seed sowhat annoyed.
“Town North King!
You’ve ambushed !”
The mont the call connected, Devlin imdiately lashed out.
He had only t with the Town North King!
The owner of the device was not hard to guess.
“I’ve long heard of Mr.
Devlin’s reputation.
Since we are going to cooperate, you surely need to prove your strength.
Moreover, Julius Reed’s entire force is already en route to kill you.
I’ve safely gotten away without exposure.
Mr.
Devlin, I wish you luck.
See you at Shadow Gate.”
The voice of the Town North King ca from the other end.
“Good!
Very good!”
Crack!
Devlin crushed the phone and stepped out of the camp.
“Everyone, retreat with !”
