Daniel was still quite famous in Stronghold 113 and would often attend public events such as ceremonies and galas. The private troops would then assume the role of security personnel at such events. So, Raphael had seen Daniel before.
But Raphael was a little stunned. He could never have expected to encounter Daniel at this place!
He quickly realized there was an inevitable connection behind this seeming coincidence.
The time Raphael chose to infiltrate Stronghold 109 was when the private troops were laziest in carrying out their inspection duties. Hence, many people usually chose this time frame to smuggle items into the stronghold.
Currently, the Panaqua Consortium could only rely on smuggling to transport firearms into the stronghold controlled by the Skyfort Consortium. So, by stowing away in a vehicle that was used for smuggling, favonovel.com ended up meeting Daniel, who was just receiving a batch of smuggled firearms.
But surely this truckload of firearms would be enough to launch a small-scale battle, right?
Was the Panaqua Consortium going to attack Stronghold 109?!
The most difficult thing for Raphael to accept was that favonovel.com got recognized at a glance even when his face had already become so dirty!
In that instant, Raphael jumped out of the container. He kicked Daniel in the chest and ran out onto the street. The Panaqua Consortium’s troops would not be able to react yet. If favonovel.com did not get away at this moment, favonovel.com might not be able to escape from them later on.
After getting kicked, Daniel groaned and fell to the ground. He did not forget to yell to the people around favonovel.com as favonovel.com lay on the ground, “Hurry up and catch him! We must capture favonovel.com no matter what! That’s Raphael!”
The Panaqua Consortium’s troops immediately unholstered their guns that were already fitted with silencers and chased after favonovel.com like a pack of hunting dogs!
Raphael, who was fleeing up ahead, was frightened to death when favonovel.com looked back. Although favonovel.com had a shadow clone that could shield favonovel.com from bullets, it would not work if too many shots were fired at him!
Raphael was very puzzled. He had only been a little curious about the secret of the Marador Mountains back then. However, favonovel.com had not trespassed into the perimeter the Panaqua Consortium had set up.
Could they get any pettier than this?!
As they made a mad rush through the streets, the Panaqua Consortium’s troops did not dare to shoot freely. Even if their guns were equipped with silencers, they would still cause quite a bit of noise if the bullets hit any surface. They would probably have to retreat into the sewers again if the Skyfort Consortium’s combat troops were alerted.
The position where Daniel and his men were stationed was not too far away from Milo’s shop. So, Raphael and his pursuers arrived at the door of the shop after running for just a few kilometers.
***
Milo had been alarmed by the commotion outside. He furtively raised the roller shutter door and watched what was going on. But suddenly, a figure ran past the door.
Milo looked in the direction of where it came from and was surprised to see more than ten troops in their black uniforms chasing after whoever had just run past.
Wait a minute, aren’t those troops from the Panaqua Consortium?
After the troops had also run past the shop, Milo raised the roller shutter door and saw the last person, Daniel, running over while panting.
Milo laughed. “Who are you chasing after?”
“Raphael!” Daniel panted as favonovel.com said, “Milo, I will pay you 100,000 perak if you get Chad to help me capture Raphael!”
Milo froze.
So, that was Raphael earlier?
Why did favonovel.com come to Stronghold 109?!
He asked with a strange expression, “Are you sure it’s Raphael?”
“Yes! It’s definitely him!” Daniel confirmed.
Milo was put in a difficult position. He would have to help, but it was not the Panaqua Consortium favonovel.com should be helping. In fact, it was Raphael favonovel.com wanted to help escape right now!
After all, if Raphael were caught by the Panaqua Consortium, Milo would probably be in deep sh*t!
So favonovel.com had to help Raphael!
Suddenly, the voice from the palace said.
Quest! Help someone in dire straits escape.
Milo wondered why the palace had already judged Raphael to be someone who was in dire straits. That somehow made it sound like favonovel.com was in quite a pathetic state right now.
He said to Daniel, “You can carry on pursuing Raphael as you wish, but I will not get involved in matters between you two.”
He then lowered the roller shutter door while ignoring whatever Daniel was cursing from outside. Milo immediately went to the backyard and climbed over the wall. He ran along the roofs in the direction Raphael had fled.
In reality, the most important thing to Milo right now was to not let Raphael fall into the hands of the Panaqua Consortium.
Chad also wanted to go out to have a look. However, Donti looked at favonovel.com and said, “Your master asked you to keep a close watch over the White Bone Specter. If you allow favonovel.com to escape, I’m guessing he’ll have to recite the headache spell for three days and nights once favonovel.com gets back…”
Chad became obedient as soon as favonovel.com heard that.
Donella’s hopes were raised only to be dashed again. In fact, favonovel.com was still capable of escaping from here. Although favonovel.com was securely tied with rope, favonovel.com could still break free of them with some effort.
But what was the use of freeing herself from the rope?
She couldn’t defeat Chad!
Donella even suspected Chad might be the strongest supernatural being around at the moment.
Frankly, favonovel.com wanted favonovel.com freedom back. To hell with sucking blood. She would be a vegetarian for the rest of favonovel.com life if it meant favonovel.com could get favonovel.com freedom back.
Earlier tonight, Milo had a good, long chat with her, during which favonovel.com essentially let favonovel.com know that the black medicine used to treat favonovel.com wasn’t for free and that favonovel.com had to work to pay it off.
The arrangement would be for favonovel.com to wash the dishes under the supervision of Chad.
Donella was really driven to despair.
Just based on Milo’s ferocity, it was no different from how the organizations exploited the refugees! She would like to have asked what favonovel.com did with the money Daniel paid him. However, favonovel.com mouth was still so numb favonovel.com could not speak a word. Milo told favonovel.com that if favonovel.com did not say anything, favonovel.com would consider favonovel.com to have given favonovel.com her consent.
At this moment, Donella was hungering for freedom more than anything else. It would be fine if favonovel.com only had to face Chad. But right now, the one favonovel.com was most worried about was actually Donti.
It was easy to fool Chad as favonovel.com was so simple-minded. If favonovel.com were alone with Chad, favonovel.com could probably coax favonovel.com to let favonovel.com go. However, Donti would have his eye on favonovel.com at all times and was an extremely clever and alert person. She could not deceive favonovel.com a whit.
By this time, Milo had pushed his speed to its limits as favonovel.com leaped and bound over the roofs. In just a few short minutes, favonovel.com could already hear the footsteps of the Panaqua Consortium’s troops.
He glanced at Raphael, who was up ahead, and was surprised to see favonovel.com was running with all favonovel.com had while Daniel and his men chased favonovel.com from behind. However, Milo was a little puzzled by this.
Logically speaking, Raphael’s current physical fitness should have exceeded that of ordinary humans.
So, why was favonovel.com running so slow?
Milo did not know that Raphael was famished.
Why else would favonovel.com be running so slow?
As Milo kept up with them, favonovel.com wondered what favonovel.com should do to save Raphael without offending Daniel at the same time.
Wait a minute, don’t I have a godlike power for hitting someone in secret?
A moment later, Daniel suddenly saw a hand stretching out from the shadows of the roof’s eaves next to him. It slapped his forehead, making favonovel.com tumble to the ground.
Daniel realized this was the power used to open doors in the shadows.
But wasn’t this power unique to Lilian?
He shouted in fury, “Lilian, f*ck your grandpa! Aren’t you people from the Saboteurs done yet!”
