At thirty-two years old, she was the Clan Leader of the Constantine Family. Despite being a woman, her methods were overbearing and ruthless. With a seductive and bewitching appearance, she harbored a fierce and formidable spirit within. Otherwise, she would not have been unanimously elected as the Clan Leader by the members of the Constantine Family.
Furthermore, she was a martial arts genius! The Constantine Family had profound heritage and countless legacies. Angela had started her training from a young age, and now she had become a super-strong expert at the Peak of Innate. Such a level was top-notch across the whole of Europe.
In the past, she had dared to venture alone to North Africa, relying on her extraordinary skills. However, she had ultimately slipped up and was captured by the concerted efforts of that nation of traffickers. Of course, later she was rescued by Xiao Zheng.
At this moment, when Angela sensed someone behind her, her initial reaction was one of shock, and she instinctively sank into the bath. Quickly regaining her composure, she pulled her clothes into the water and hurriedly put them on while issuing a cold shout.
Xiao Zheng had by then decided he didn’t want to face Angela. Therefore, he no longer sought the Golden Bone and turned to leave.
His speed was incredibly fast, akin to a bullet exiting the barrel, or lightning streaking across the sky. With but a whoosh of the wind, his presence was gone.
Angela let out a cold laugh and said, "Thinking of running away in my castle? Impossible."
With that, Angela leaped up, already dressed. At first, the wet clothes clung to her smooth, delicate skin.
But the next moment, a dazzling Gang Qi surged out, and with a billowing mist, her clothes were instantly dried by the Gang Qi.
Angela didn’t hurry to pursue Xiao Zheng but instead did two things.
The first thing she did was run to a button beside the bathtub and press it. Instantly, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire castle.
In the castle, everyone was startled by the alarm. Hearing it, they all began to move according to the emergency plans in place.
Their actions resembled a massive, efficiently running machine, bursting with tremendous energy.
In the castle’s main hall, Long Qie, as well as Titan at the edge of the prairie turf awaiting to provide support, were alarmed by this piercing sound.
Had Mr. Xiao been discovered?
They found it hard to believe. Nonetheless, the two of them acted promptly, with Long Qie ready to guard the passage entrance, barring anyone from entering, and Titan fully focused, waiting for Xiao Zheng and his party to break out.
After pressing that button, Angela did another thing.
She walked to another wall and gently touched it, causing a beam of light to shoot out and project a vast 3D image in mid-air, lifelike and vivid—clearly the entire castle.
Everything was in plain sight, nothing hidden.
At this moment, within the three-dimensional image, there was a glaring red dot moving rapidly through a corridor.
It was about to pass through the aviation tunnel.
Angela smirked coldly. "No one can escape from me. Just you wait."
Angela reached out and lightly tapped the gigantic aviation tunnel on the display.
A loud noise came from afar.
At that moment, a huge switch inside the aviation tunnel began to rotate automatically, restarting the entire aviation tunnel.
Xiao Zheng, running through the aviation tunnel at that time, suddenly felt a buzzing sensation as his body lost its balance, and the gravity around him became completely disrupted.
"Damn, Angela being able to remotely control this air duct is a bit troublesome."
Xiao Zheng was now quite embarrassed, because of the abnormal gravity here, his whole body was suspended in the air, and the more he struggled, the less he was able to control himself, just like a person trapped in a marsh.
Xiao Zheng heard the rustling wind coming from the direction of the air duct, presumably Angela had chased out from that bath.
"It’s going to be troublesome if she sees me ."
Xiao Zheng was in a panic, his mind began to race, thinking of a way to solve the problem.
At last, his eyes suddenly brightened.
In front of him, there was a piece of alloy that had floated up. It was the alloy he had thrown into the air duct for the second time.
"Hahaha, you really are a godsend," Xiao Zheng laughed loudly, grabbed the piece of alloy, and then the Gang Qi surged out from his body.
This piece of alloy was immediately enveloped in the intense Gang Qi, and after Xiao Zheng’s throw, it slammed into the switch above with a thunderous noise.
With a loud noise, the air duct was closed again.
Gravity returned abruptly, Xiao Zheng’s body plummeted instantly, but he adjusted his body in a flash and landed steadily on the ground. He then sprinted towards the passage, and in no time, he had rushed out.
Moreover, after rushing out, Xiao Zheng did one more thing.
He took another piece of alloy from the wall and threw it, opening the air duct again. This way, if Angela wanted to catch up, she would have to return to the bath to close the air duct, which would buy him a lot of time.
When Angela arrived at the entrance of the air duct, she could only see a fleeting figure in the passage of the other side, and she couldn’t help but become furious, preparing to burst out, yet she suddenly discovered that the air duct had been opened once more.
Angela had no choice but to go back and close it again.
After such a delay, Xiao Zheng could have run off anywhere.
Angela was livid. This
"If I catch you, I’m going to make sure you wish you were dead."
Angela thought furiously.
Never before had someone managed to break through so many blockades and infiltrate the Constantine family. If this got out, the Constantine’s reputation would be in tatters.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zheng was sprinting along a five-kilometer-long laser corridor.
His body was thick with Gang Qi, matching the frequency of the laser beams, and he quickly reached the exit. From afar, he could hear the sounds of a melee.
"It looks like Angela has already mobilized the entire castle’s forces; this woman is really formidable, to remain so calm in such a situation."
Xiao Zheng secretly admired in his heart.
And then he burst out.
He then saw that a group of people had surrounded Long Qie, all of them robust Caucasian men with considerable strength, and each emitted Gang Qi. A quick glance showed that there were at least ten Innate Masters!
This was a truly terrifying number.
