Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Overlooked After Numerous Precautions
"People always say that Devlin plays many tricks and never shows his face. Once he does, death is certain."
In the darkness, two figures slowly emerged.
One of them spoke, "But I don’t think so. Devlin is alive not only because of his intellect but also his loyalty."
The other person chimed in, "In terms of loyalty, Devlin is indeed unique. Still, I dared to request, give him a way out."
"Do you still care about past connections?"
Granny Xihua, leaning on her golden cane, walked step by step up to Devlin.
At the same time, she opened her hand and took out something like an electronic key.
Click!
The moment she pressed the key, Devlin knelt on the ground.
"This one, the master key. And the one you have now, has already expired."
Granny Xihua had barely finished speaking when members of the Cyber Corps behind her dropped their weapons.
And knelt on the ground.
These people did not speak, made no superfluous movements.
Just knelt uniformly.
"Tell me, why did you betray me?"
Granny Xihua walked over, stood in front of Devlin, and asked from a height.
"If I’m not satisfied with the answer, I might just smash your head with one swing of my cane!"
Silence.
A deathly stillness.
In the dilapidated camp, another figure emerged.
"The great Devlin, said to never lose, got caught?"
A young man clapped as he moved towards the crowd, his tone mocking.
"Eagle, you were involved?"
Devlin lifted his head, scoffed, "Truly duplicitous. If I’m not mistaken, this wouldn’t have been Leander’s idea."
"I have to admit, you’re really smart," Eagle bent down, gently tilted Devlin’s chin, "So smart, it kind of scares me." no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Eagle Vein, excelling in reconnaissance!
Their tracking skills, one in a million!
Like eagles in the sky, once they target their prey, it is hard to escape.
"Do you know? I really enjoy watching you... watching you at a loss," Eagle said mockingly, even reaching into Devlin’s chest to pull out a cigarette box.
Then threw it away, crushing it underfoot.
"Why did you betray me and collude with Granny Xihua?" Devlin lifted his head, looking into Eagle’s eyes.
Eagle was very handsome, a dashing young man.
Around his twenties, vaguely bearing the shadow of Medicine King Valley.
Among the Seven Veins, Eagle Vein was the weakest.
Thus Isabella Warm targeted them.
Until now, Eagle was unaware that the cause of his father’s death was orchestrated by Isabella Warm.
The person who lured Julius Reed to the Medicine King Valley was Devlin’s pawn, Horton Moore.
Yet, this hatred, Eagle blamed entirely on Julius Reed.
Isabella Warm told him Julius Reed was Mad Dragon!
Both, the same person!
And Mad Dragon, at Shadow Gate!
To seek revenge, he came freely.
Thus, Eagle came.
Accompanied by Granny Xihua, they approached the headquarters of Shadow Gate.
"It’s simple," facing Devlin’s questioning, Eagle smiled, "I don’t like dealing with smart people, especially cunning ones like you. I fear you might sell me out and have me count the money for you."
He put his hands in his pockets, looking at Devlin kneeling on the ground, feeling oddly satisfied.
Remembering their first meeting, when he had been hung from a tree, it bothered him.
Humiliation!
As an Eagle Vein!
Best at recon, hiding, and being a sharp Vein Holder.
To be hung from a tree by Devlin, a rat from the sewers!
Disgrace!
An immense disgrace to Eagle Vein!
"Do you think Granny Xihua is a good person? She won’t betray you?" Devlin looked up, watching Eagle’s smug face, "What if I tell you, the cigarette box you touched just now was poisoned, would you believe me?"
"What!"
Eagle hastily retreated several steps, quickly inspecting his hands.
"Haha! Kid, I disdain such lowly tactics," Devlin pointed at Eagle, mocking his flustered appearance.
"You!"
Eagle, enraged and humiliated, stormed over and was about to strike!
No matter what, he was the Vein Holder!
He absolutely could not tolerate such insult.
"You can’t hit him."
Clang!
Granny Xihua’s golden cane blocked him right in his path.
"Why?"
Eagle was slightly displeased, "We are partners. If it weren’t for me finding Tyler Thomas today, you would not have been able to follow the clues to Devlin. Are you going back on our deal?"
After Brysen Beaumont failed, it was Eagle who found Tyler Thomas.
They hit it off immediately!
Tyler Thomas disguised himself as an ordinary Shadow Gate disciple, took the so-called Divine Dragon Tripod, and vanished from the headquarters.
Later, he pretended to be captured by members of the Cyber gang and Shadow Gate traitors and was brought here.
Thus, Eagle, following the tracker, quickly locked onto the target and hurried over with Granny Xihua.
"He, only I can hit."
Bang!
As soon as Granny Xihua finished speaking, she kicked Devlin in the chest.
Devlin, completely unprepared, was sent flying several meters, spewing blood profusely.
"Bitch! You really turn face and fail to recognize people!"
Devlin, lying on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said helplessly, "When you were in bed, you didn’t talk like this!"
"You..."
Granny Xihua’s face turned red, and her hand holding the golden staff trembled!
"You really have no shame!"
With that, she stepped forward.
But suddenly, Granny Xihua stopped.
Because—
Devlin had a remote control in his hand.
And his finger was lightly pressing on a red button.
"If you think you can strike faster than point five seconds, go ahead and try...cough, cough..."
Devlin painfully stood up, hands on his chest, grimacing, "Bitch! Heartless..."
"Devlin, you’re always bluffing."
Eagle slowly walked over, not missing a chance to mock, "Granny’s right here; you’ve got no chance. And those Cyber gang members no longer obey you. Can you still escape? I don’t believe it."
He said this mockingingly.
The net in heaven and earth.
Devlin was unskilled and couldn’t beat anyone present.
Without the support of the Cyber gang, he was left with no chance to escape.
"I don’t believe you can get away this time! If you really can, then I..." Eagle’s words halted as he swallowed them back.
That’s when Devlin abruptly pulled a piece of clothing from the Cyber gang member closest to him.
And revealed a bomb strapped to the gang member’s body.
"Brothers, take off your clothes, show Granny and this stupid bird!"
"You..."
Being called a stupid bird, Eagle was a bit angered.
But when he saw the row of bombs in front of him, he felt a chill down his spine!
This...
Was too ruthless!
If it exploded, there would be nothing left!
"In order to verify if it’s real or fake," Devlin said lightly as he removed a bomb and tossed it to Eagle.
"Let me show you."
Eagle saw the bomb in his hand and quickly realized it was real.
A hot potato!
"Bang!"
Devlin made an explosion sound with his mouth, scaring the hell out of Eagle whose face quickly turned pale.
"So, can I go now?"
Devlin had only retreated three steps when suddenly his expression drastically changed!
His smile also swiftly vanished.
He fiercely pressed on his right shoulder and slowly pulled out a silver needle.
"Mad Dragon... you bastard, ambushing me..."
After saying this, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
"This..."
Eagle, was dumbfounded.
