Chapter 663: Chapter 662: I Want to Catch Them Alive
Half a month later, the United Arab Emirates, Dubai.
Meris had been hiding here for a week.
Since Nord was taken away and killed by a member of International Madman, the same night the castle owned by the Edwards family was also attacked.
Although he didn’t know who did it, in the following days, Daniel, Ruolan, and Conrad were successively assassinated—all dead—heightening Meris’s tension.
He immediately realized something was wrong and went into hiding.
After Nord was killed, Boss Tang made a very arrogant post on the Underworld Forum about the killing of Nord, and he loudly declared that International Madman was avenging and seeking debts from Sky Net.
After Daniel, Ruolan, and Conrad were killed, although International Madman did not post about it on the Underworld Forum, Meris, who was familiar with these people, understood; all were high-level decision makers within the Sky Net Organization, and following Nord’s death, these three were also killed. Naturally, Meris could deduce that all this was the doings of the International Madman.
Whether it was Daniel, Ruolan, or Conrad, Meris knew them well, they were all renowned figures, and never lacked expert bodyguards.
One could say that over the years, many had wanted to kill them, but not once had they been successful.
Now, these three persons had been killed one after another within ten days, and a Sky Net stronghold was also wiped out, including six high-level experts equivalent to those in the Innate Realm, showing how fierce the enemy was.
Meris felt that the so-called experts his family had couldn’t be relied on any longer, so he came to UAE to seek help from a friend.
At the same time, he also passed the message to Heaven, hoping that his nephew Pudis in Heaven could come back, or could bring back some more formidable experts from Heaven to help the family through this crisis.
"Relax a bit, Meris, you won’t have any problem here. Look outside," a young Western man clad in white cloth said with a confident smile as he pulled Meris to a floor-to-ceiling window, pointing outside.
This was a military fortress.
Outside, heavily armed elite troops were patrolling non-stop, sentinels were stationed at various high points, and the spacious courtyard was filled with tanks, heavy snipers, Gatling, and other powerful weapons in abundance. Even in the distant sky, military jets circled from time to time.
Seeing all this, Meris felt considerably more at ease.
He had also brought some experts, including superpower users, whose combat strength was very strong.
However, thinking about the consecutive killings of Nord and Daniel, he felt that these superpower users or Western martial artists were somewhat unreliable.
Better to trust in science.
Only hiding in a military base was safe.
He thought, unless the opponent was an immortal with an undying, powerful body, they would never dream of breaking into such a military fortress.
"Thank you, Harry, seeing such a scene outside indeed brings peace to my mind," Meris sincerely said, then showed a hint of regret, "It’s a pity though, that I must hide here like a turtle retracting its neck; it’s really humiliating if this gets out."
Prince Harry, however, comforted him, "A temporary defeat means nothing. What’s most important is who gets the last laugh."
Meris gratefully looked at him and nodded, "Right, a temporary defeat means nothing. I have already sent out the message, and I believe strong help will arrive soon. It’s really a great disgrace for us in the Western World to be thrown into chaos by a team led by a young person from the Eastern Nation."
Harry nodded deeply in agreement.
Ever since the rise of the Western World, its races have inherently looked down upon those from the Eastern Nation.
But recently, the Martial Arts World had been stirred up by a young person from that Eastern Nation, and as a Western Noble, Prince Harry naturally felt discontent and uneasy.
The two were discussing this when suddenly a bright light appeared on the floor-to-ceiling window.
The light point was very small, but because they were both standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking outside, the light point reflected into their eyes through the window, appearing rather dazzling.
Then, the light point suddenly exploded like a blooming flower, rapidly expanding into a bright flash.
Boom!
A loud explosion followed.
Although the fortress had good sound insulation and the floor-to-ceiling window was made of high-strength bulletproof glass, the loud explosion still unmistakably reached their ears.
The accompanying explosion also sent shock waves through the void and the ground.
"Beep beep beep..."
A sharp alarm followed.
In the eyes of Meris and Harry, they could clearly see the sentinels and elite patrols outside springing into action.
The base was under attack!
Uh, the base was under attack?
Prince Harry’s face and eyes both conveyed deep shock and disbelief.
Even though everything in front of him proved the base was indeed being attacked, he still couldn’t believe it.
Meris couldn’t believe it either.
His entire facial expression was frozen in place, somewhat dazed.
What was happening?
Was it just his bad luck to encounter the internal strife breaking out among these chieftain tribes?
After a brief moment of stupor, Prince Harry was the first to come to his senses and loudly asked through an intercom, "What exactly is happening?"
He had just been boasting to Meris about the security here, and the next moment they were under attack; his face hurt.
"Don’t worry, Prince, it’s just a drone that suddenly appeared and fired a shell; we’re handling it immediately," a calm and forceful voice responded, bringing an inexplicable sense of security.
Prince Harry was somewhat relieved, but he still spoke with a cold expression, "Resolve it quickly. Disturbing my distinguished guest here to rest, you really disappoint me."
"Pfft!"
Just then, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window in front of Harry and Meris suddenly cracked open with a pfff sound.
A bullet was embedded in it.
"Get down!"
Harry was momentarily stunned.
Meris’s scalp tingled, his body soaked with cold sweat, and he quickly pulled Prince Harry to the ground with him, moving swiftly away from the window.
That was close.
If it weren’t for the high-strength bulletproof glass taking the hit, given the direction the embedded bullet was coming from, what would have burst wasn’t the bulletproof glass but his own head.
Meris instantly thought of someone.
Boss Tang!
Yes!
It had to be that damn Eastern monkey.
He had come, he really had come!
"Harry, it must be that damn guy, Boss Tang. It’s the International Madman, they’ve found us!" Meris hysterically said to Prince Harry.
Prince Harry had already recovered his composure, his expression extremely grim as he angrily said, "Those damn bastards, daring to provoke the United Arab Emirates Chieftain Tribe, they really think they’re King Yama drinking arsenic, tired of living!"
With that, he shouted into the intercom, "Bastards, kill them all, don’t let any of them leave alive.
Also, capture the young man with an Eastern face alive, I want him alive, I want to torture him personally, and show him how dreadful the consequences of provoking me can be!"
