Chapter 364 Mercenaries
Chapter 364 Mercenaries
This secret door lead to the back of the laboratory was a deserted place.
For the security and secrecy of the laboratory, the first laboratory was quite close to the city center,
surrounded by few businesses and households, and a large area of land was given to this laboratory.
When she emerged from the secret door, she touched her disguised fake face and raised her eyebrows
slightly.
But just as she was about to return to Shangcheng International the way she had come, suddenly a
loud noise sounded from not far away.
Ruby was always keen and her eyes turned steeply sharp when she sensed something was wrong.
The wooden case was in her backpack and she clutched the backpack straps tightly.
The next instant, a dozen men converged from the four corners of the wasteland, rushing to envelop
her!
As soon as she saw how these people were dressed, Ruby's expression suddenly froze.
These people, actually, were mercenaries!
Well, the other party really looked up to her, they even sent mercenaries!
How how did these people find their way here?
She was in her disguised state, so how could they have come here?
However, at the moment she couldn't think deeply. Looking at these mercenaries approaching around
her, she coolly snorted with a stern face, "Who sent you here? How much did he pay, I'll double it and
you disappear now."
The force value of ordinary fighters was not comparable to that of the mercenaries, all of them were as
good as the killers on her Red Net.
Not to mention so many mercenaries!
With her skills, she had no problem in fighting with these people, but it was impossible for her to retreat
in one piece.
Those men were expressionless, and one of them said coldly, "Cut the crap, hand over what you're
holding and we'll let you go!"
Sure enough, it was all about Grandma's relics!
Ruby laughed coldly, her hand clutching the strap of her backpack tightened, her tone still calm, not a
trace of panic in sight: "What if I don't?"
The man said: "Then don't blame us for being rude!"
At the end of his voice, the man winked at the rest of the group, and soon all of them gathered around,
making it clear that they were going to rob it openly.
Ruby's eyes were sharp as she quickly sent a brief message to Josie before those men got close, then
dodged one of the attacks.
She eyed the situation, to save her strength, she should dodge first before Josie came.
But she'd been wrong about more than one thing today, and in just a few minutes, those mercenaries
had her cornered!
As she watched the situation, she became anxious, her brow knitted and her pretty eyes filled with chill.
Well, it seemed that these people were forcing her to make a move.
At that moment, she slung her backpack over her back, the straps tied tightly in front of her, then took
two steps forward from a dead stop, leaving herself a gap where she could flexibly turn around and
assume a fighting stance towards those present.
When those mercenaries saw this, they showed an expression of disdain; in their opinion, this woman
was completely out of her depth when she fought against them.
At that moment, two of them swooped forward and reached out to tug at the straps of the backpack on
Ruby's shoulders. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
But at the very moment when the two hands reached out, Ruby's lower body did not move, but her
upper body suddenly leaned backwards, her shoulders dodging the hands of the two.
In the next second, she raised her hands, clutched the arms of each of them and yanked them in the
opposite direction. The two were too late to stop their moves and bumped into each other.
That was not all, Ruby lifted her leg in a smooth motion and saw the right moment to give both of them
a vicious kick in the nest of their legs.
The two men were knocked about and before they could react, and fell to the ground.
When the others saw this, they all looked unpleasant, and then they all rushed over.
Ruby moved nimbly from side to side, her strikes were quick and fierce, and while she was defending,
she struck out powerfully.
But she was no match for so many men, and her strength was depleted extremely quickly. Before long,
her breath became unsteady and her movements slowed down slightly.
Just as she was gradually losing ground, suddenly, a rush and fast footsteps came, and Ruby
distracted herself, looking out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed the figures of several people.
Among them, there was a figure that was particularly familiar.
Her eyes lit up and before she could call out, the man swiftly disposed of one of the mercenaries who
had pounced on her and took a few large strides to her side.
"I'm coming." The man's voice was low, but carried a soothing power.
Ruby raised her eyes, looked straight at him with a smile, "Levi, you're so uneasy about me, you still
came along?"
Levi's thin lips were lightly pursed, that handsome and peerless face was covered with a sunken color:
"No matter how powerful you are, how good you are, how many people help you, I can't let you go."
Hearing that, Ruby froze, her mouth slightly open, as she was about to say something, she looked
behind him.
Two mercenaries suddenly rushed up and made a move to strike at Levi.
In an instant, Ruby's face flashed with an extremely cold color, subconsciously she tugged at his hand
to pull him behind her, putting up a stance to protect him.
But just as she took hold of Levi’s hand, the man reacted quickly and took her back, holding her soft
hand in his palm and squeezing it gently.
"Don't worry." He said, his tone light, as if he already had insight into the whole situation.
The next second, the two mercenaries behind him stopped in their tracks at an extremely close
distance from him, and were ruthlessly ripped apart and got rid of by the men Levi had brought with
him.
In just a few minutes' time, these mercenaries, who were still arrogant, were all knocked to the ground
one by one by Levi's men.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the mercenaries could only drag their wounded bodies and take
the opportunity to flee quickly.
This ripple, in just a quarter of an hour, was quickly calmed by the arrival of Levi.
Ruby felt relieved at this point, looked at Levi, giving a smile: "You came just in time, otherwise I don't
know if Grandma's relics would have been preserved, but why did you suddenly bring someone with
you?"
Even if he was unsure of her, there was no need to bring so many people.
Levi first looked her over carefully and saw that she was unharmed from head to toe, he put his mind at
ease and answered her doubts.
"The living room was fitted with a pinhole camera."
