Chapter 174 - You lied to me
There were many people in the corridor, but besides Lin Li, others were either shivering with fear or cold. The only one who was not shivering, Hank, was busy poaching Lin Li from Jarrosus Guild of Magic. So, out of the many people present, only Lin Li was aware of the anomaly.
Those heavy footsteps sounded really abnormal—they were too precise, as if measured with a ruler. The rhythm of each step was exactly the same, and there was no murmur in the midst. Accuracy was not a problem, but it seemed fake if it was this accurate. Even if the Silver Storm was well-trained, it could never be so precise. It was even neater than the best guard of honor…
As the heavy footsteps approached, Lin Li gradually understood. He was absorbed in thoughts as he looked up at the ceiling. The female captain of the Silver Hand was very interesting…
“Serena, you’d better not mess around!” Rode finally panicked as he saw the Silver Storm about to charge into the inn. The night’s encounter was completely out of his control. He had yet to figure out what had gone wrong. It was well-planned at the beginning, so why was the execution full of loopholes? Not only did Serena escape, but also brought the Silver Storm.
At this point, Rode was afraid to think about what would happen. At present, he was just trying to figure out a way to get out of here. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be any fun if he fell into the hands of that woman…
These few people from the Silver Hand were the only chips he had to get away…
Unfortunately, these people were not willing to cooperate, especially the fellow who was still chatting away. The more Rode thought about it, the angrier he felt. Did the damned fellow have the consciousness of being a prisoner? He thought he was going to the vegetable market. The knife was on his neck, yet he still had time to engage in small chit chat with others. If the darned woman hadn’t pushed too hard, he would have knocked off a few of his teeth again!
“…” Hank almost lost his mind.
A team of Silver Hand had always been composed of eight people—that was to say, the beautiful captain had created such a huge array, but had in fact brought with her only eight people…
Lin Li leaned on the door, sizing up the beautiful captain with interest.
The beautiful captain of the Silver Hand was a well-known figure in Alanna. Lin Li had heard of Serena’s name so many times that he had lost count. When he first saw her in real life today, Lin Li had to admit that this tall and beautiful woman really deserved her reputation.
The raid tonight was too stunning…
As the beautiful captain engaged in a question and answer session with Hank, the whole process of the raid became clear in Lin Li’s mind.
The awaiting Silver Storm and the hovering level-15 Gryphon were all smoke screen arranged by Serena. In her own words, the Blackhills Town was hundreds of miles away from Alanna, and she couldn’t really fly—so how would she be able to return so fast with the Silver Storm?
