Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: Rescue
Some say he is a rat in the sewers, others say he dies upon encountering light.
But Devlin does not care.
He knows that only the living have the right to point fingers.
The dead have no say.
If he really did as everyone hoped, openly stepping forward.
He would likely be quickly forgotten.
The dead can only appear in everyone’s memories.
Only by living can one become a nightmare.
"The Eagle wants to kill you." Granny Xihua followed behind Devlin with a golden staff.
"I saved him."
Devlin pulled out a cigarette from his bosom, about to light it.
Snap!
Granny Xihua slapped it away, knocking the cigarette out of his hand.
"Mind your health. Without the Longevity Pills, and just relying on your daughter’s blood, you won’t live long."
As she spoke, her face was completely expressionless.
"Living a few days longer doesn’t help. I’d rather live fewer days and do as I please," Devlin said lightly, bending down to pick up the cigarette, he brushed off the filter and put it in his mouth again, lighting it.
This time, Granny Xihua didn’t stop him.
"Hiss!"
A puff of smoke entered his lungs, and Devlin enjoyed it.
"I’m tired."
Holding the burning cigarette between his fingers, his tone carried a trace of weariness.
"Who isn’t tired?" Granny Xihua scoffed coldly: "Do you think I live easily? If there’s a next life, I would rather be a commoner."
"Think about it."
Devlin stretched his muscles tiredly: "Our daughter spends all day in a dark, sunless ice cellar, living a fate worse than death. Speaking of which, we as parents have really failed."
"There’s nothing we can do."
Granny Xihua said coldly.
"I have countless identities, played countless roles, and won countless games. But this time, I am not sure."
Devlin sighed deeply, stubbing out the cigarette butt and continued walking towards the dungeon.
Many things, it’s not that one doesn’t want to do them.
But rather, lacks the ability to do them.
Even if done, they are of no help.
Otherwise, who wouldn’t want their children to live a more splendid life?
"Raheem Fairbanks will kill the Eagle, this young guy is brainless but not a bad person," Devlin said in a low voice.
"But the Eagle only remembers that you tricked him," Granny Xihua responded.
"The Eagle Vein, truly pitiable."
Devlin shook his head and did not speak further.
Among the Seven Veins, only the Eagle Vein was the weakest.
They were good at tracking and investigating but were no match for the other six veins.
The Eagle’s father, in order to revitalize the Eagle Vein, had dared to infiltrate Medicine King Valley to seek the secret of immortality.
But in the end, he died under the Mad Dragon Sword.
The Eagle, only in his twenties, became the Vein Holder, yet was strictly controlled by the Bead Pulse.
After progressing a few hundred meters, the two entered a narrow alley.
Devlin took out a map from his bosom, pondering carefully.
The North Sea dungeon was located on the edge of the Heavenly Palace.
On the very outer side, only a wall separated it from the sky.
Even the ground the prisoners walked on was made of iron cages.
Looking down, one could clearly see the sky.
This was done to save on costs and to solve the prisoner’s excrement problems to the maximum extent.
Thousands of meters high, when that excrement falls, it had already disintegrated into little specks.
Outside the prison, was a narrow alley.
There was no second road.
Once someone broke in, they would be completely exposed to the warden’s line of sight.
"I’ll go flirt, you take the chance to break into the prison. Remember, rescue the Left Minister, kill the Right Minister," Devlin put away the map, turning to Granny Xihua and instructing.
In the North Sea, all the military forces were under the control of the Right Minister.
Once the Right Minister was killed, the entire North Sea would be headless, and Devlin could then control the royal court.
Most importantly, the Left Minister was part of the Bead Pulse.
But Devlin did not want to work for Bead Pulse.
If the news of the Right Minister’s death were spread, it would be difficult for the Left Minister to leave the royal court alive.
"Be careful."
Granny Xihua also gave a reminder.
Entering the narrow alley, Devlin had just taken a step when he heard a loud shout from above: "Stop!"
It was a loudspeaker.
Beside the loudspeaker, there were three surveillance cameras.
"Take one more step, and you will be killed without exception!"
At the mouth of the alley, three armed personnel suddenly appeared.
The muzzles were uniformly aimed at Devlin.
"By the secret order of The North Sea King! Escort the Right Minister to the royal court for interrogation!"
Devlin put his hand inside his coat.
"Don’t move!"
The loudspeaker sounded again. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"You are not my minister of The North Sea, I have never seen you before!"
"The ministers of The North Sea have completely lost the trust of the King, I am Devlin of Thunderpeak Hall, and also a noble of The North Sea King. If you don’t believe, you can come and see the order in my hands."
Devlin called out calmly.
After a moment of silence from the loudspeaker, a soldier at the mouth of the alley came over, carrying a weapon.
"Take it out!"
The soldier approached Devlin and reached out his hand to ask for the order.
"Here."
Devlin suddenly thrust his hand out, revealing a sharp dagger!
Pfft!
With a swing of his knife, Devlin directly severed the neck of The North Sea soldier and snatched the hidden weapon box from the latter’s hand.
Then, with a swift action, he pulled the trigger!
A fierce burst of gunfire, and several soldiers at the entrance of the alley immediately fell into pools of blood.
At the same time, a dark shadow sprang up.
Granny Xihua stepped on the wall, her plump body as agile as a leopard!
Almost in the blink of an eye.
Granny Xihua had left the alley and charged towards the location marked by Devlin on the map.
"There’s a jailbreak! Alert!"
Inside the monitoring room, the warden slammed the table and was about to stand up to report to Everton Davenport.
Click!
A golden staff pierced the glass, coming through the air!
Before the warden could react, the staff hit him directly in the chest!
Thump!
The warden’s chest bones shattered, and he spewed a lot of blood from his mouth.
Dead.
Thud!
The next moment, Granny Xihua landed on the ground, grabbed the staff, and swept it out!
Only five corpses remained inside the monitoring room.
Meanwhile outside the prison, Devlin holding a box of hidden weapons, after dealing with several soldiers of The North Sea, rendezvoused with Granny Xihua.
The North Sea was busy with the King’s coronation ceremony and now preparing for a wedding, leaving them short-handed, pulling many guards from the prison.
Being slaughtered chaotically by Granny Xihua and Devlin, there were not many people left inside the prison now.
"Tell me, where are the Left Minister and the Right Minister?"
Devlin pressed the dart against the head of a guard, asking coldly.
"In... the innermost part."
The remaining guard in the prison was already terrified out of his wits.
This is The North Sea.
The entire celestial palace, all under the control of The North Sea, yet someone dared to break into the prison here?
Can they get out?
"Lead us there!"
Devlin pushed hard, and the guard hurriedly led the way in front.
The prison was not big.
But it was complicated.
Looping and winding, they finally arrived at a somewhat luxurious cell.
"Here..."
The soldier trembled and pointed inside, his face already as pale as paper.
"Thank you."
Swoosh!
The sound of a dart.
The soldier’s eyes widened as he fell to the ground.
And Devlin, holding a gun, strode inside.
