"Unfortunately, I don’t have much time either."
Gu Tong said casually, raising her hand and pointing to her ear, speaking in a calm voice: "Listen, the tires driving across the asphalt road, more than ten vehicles can make that sound. Those must be Jeeps, right?"
Becker caught the sound as well and could confirm the truth in Gu Tong’s words. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Miss Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Becker, please don’t misunderstand, we are friends, aren’t we?" Gu Tong licked her red lips and said with a smile, "Mr. Kun ’invited’ me here, and I didn’t inform my companions. It’s only natural that they would come looking for me."
To be able to mobilize such a lineup in Longxing Country, they must indeed be quite formidable.
"Miss Gu, have you really considered not returning with me? You can inform your companions, and I can wait!" Becker offered as a compromise.
"That puts me in a difficult position, Mr. Becker. My friend has a terrible temper. I guess he must be very angry right now."
If it were anyone else’s wife being taken, they’d be furious, not to mention the Devil King!
Gu Tong could guarantee that if Li Yan barged in and saw her, he would definitely start a massacre.
"I can’t guarantee that I can stop him, so to preserve our friendly and peaceful relationship, I suggest Mr. Becker leave quickly. I can help delay him for you!"
Leave! Becker was unwilling.
But confronting them head-on might ruin the plan.
The sound of the Jeep grew clearer.
Returning with Kun and Misya was what mattered most; Becker could make a decision.
"Since Miss Gu has things to attend to, Becker won’t force it, but I sincerely hope to see you in Sicuro soon."
Becker nodded politely, a gesture before parting. He looked Gu Tong up and down once more, as if trying to etch her into his memory.
"That day won’t be far off!"
Gu Tong replied politely as well. She would never repeat her mistakes, nor step foot on the Sicuro Mafia’s territory again. She considered it all a thing of the past.
However, everything has its surprises; much later, things did not unfold as beautifully as Gu Tong had planned. She returned to Sicuro Mafia’s homeland, but that’s a story for another time.
Becker left, almost at a runaway speed, taking with him the remaining members of the Sicuro Mafia, Kun, Misya, and the severely injured and long-unconscious Cross.
They vanished as if they’d never been there, taking with them all of Gu Tong’s thoughts.
Outside, the Specialty Pavilion Academy’s command came through, and trainees in combat armor rushed in, declaring loudly, "Everyone in the warehouse, hands up! Lay down your weapons, stop the fighting!"
It was obvious they considered this attack as the high-level hooligan’s combat game.
But such a matter was also a significant event for the highly secure Longxing Country.
With her back to the warehouse door, Gu Tong obediently raised her hands. The last thing she wanted was to escape one peril only to become a target for the Specialty Pavilion Academy.
Getting killed by one’s own people couldn’t even begin to describe the frustration.
The tightly closed warehouse door opened, and moonlight spilled into the warehouse, enough to illuminate the entire area.
Almost an entire squad of special trainees rushed into the warehouse, each holding weapons, carefully searching every corner, afraid to miss any enemy.
