GOR Chapter 557 Who Said We Are Running?

“No movements from the target objectives. They are still inside the house.”

On the street outside Tom Huggins’ house, three figures quickly rushed forward from the nine o’clock direction and stopped behind a car parked by the street.

The three figures behind the car had their waists crouched forward. Thanks to the illumination from the street lamps, the three figures were revealed to be two men and one woman. All three were wearing protective suits, the standard combat gear for instance dungeons. One of the males, a blonde-haired person, had with him a military thermal imaging device. Through the image shown by the thermal imaging device, they were able to see the heat signatures within Tom Huggins’ house.

“The targets are not moving! There is something strange about this.” The blonde-haired man holding the thermal imaging device had a very serious look on his face as he whispered, “We have already entered a state of combat. The targets should have seen us from their personal radars. Why are they not making any responses?”

The woman beside him was quick to speak up, “I cannot see them on my personal radar. That means, the targets have not entered a state of combat. Or perhaps… … our target objective is not at home.”

“Impossible. My intel is very accurate. He will certainly be at home tonight.” The blond-haired man with the thermal imaging device put down the device and kept it into his storage equipment. Next, he pulled out a dagger and said, “Forget it. Follow our combat strategy. We will initiate a feint attack!”

The woman nodded. “All right, let’s do it.”

The man beside them, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, “Something doesn’t feel right here.”

“Humph! There is no need to think too much about it. He is only one man! We have three teams here. Taking the target down will not be an issue. This fellow is very important. Unit Zero had stated that we must catch this fellow!” The woman sneered before continuing, “Let us go. We will attack; at the same time, inform Team B to attack from the side, the same battle tactic!”

“Unit Zero, we are ready to begin. Tell Team B to begin attacking from the side. We will fight to force the target out from the house and push him toward your ambush point.”

After sending the message using their guild channel, the blond-haired man revealed a light smile and pulled out the leather gloves he was wearing on both his hands. “Let’s go! One minute later, Team B will attack!”

“All right, I will be the first to charge in!”

The man who had not spoken much stood up. It was only after he stood up did it become apparent that he was much taller than his two companions were. He also appeared stronger, possessing a bodybuilder’s physique, akin to an indomitable tower. He quickly made his way across the street and rushed toward Tom Huggins’ house door.

“Charge!” The blond-haired man called out to his female companion and they too, charged forward.

When the burly man arrived before the house door, his body suddenly swelled up. Clearly, he was an Awakened of the Body Technique Division. In just an instant, his body transformed to stone and he became something like a stone giant. After his body expanded in size – up to 2 metres in height – his running figure became like a humanoid tank. He charged Tom Huggins’ house door. However, just as he was about to pummel his way through the house door, the door abruptly opened by itself.

Behind the door was Nicole, a strange smile on her face. After secretly opening the door, she stood behind the opened door. Her actions opened the way into the house.

The charging fellow had put everything into his charge. Furthermore, he had already positioned his body to prepare for a collision. The sudden change made it impossible for him to stop and his entire figure flew inside. His body seemingly grazed past Nicole’s body as it flew through the doorway.

A loud racket could be heard inside the house. After Nicole opened the door, the fellow’s momentum became too large and his entire person slammed into a wall inside the house. He broke through the wall, causing it to collapse and the few cabinets around to break into pieces. As for the fellow, he ended up stuck in the hole in the wall.

Following that man were the blond-haired man and his woman companion. They arrived before the door and saw what happened. The two of them became dumbfounded and their steps faltered as they gaped at Nicole, who was laughing as she stood behind the door.

“Since you are here, come in.”

Nicole gave a light smile before turning around to quickly make her way into the living room.

The two of them were startled. Next, they subconsciously rushed through the doorway and saw Nicole sitting on the living room’s sofa, alone – she was the only one inside the house.

“What is going on here?” The blond-haired man was stunned for a moment. Then, he exclaimed, “The target is gone! Who is this woman?”

Nicole sat on the sofa calmly. Seeing how Nicole was not showing any signs of nervousness, the man and woman ended up becoming nervous instead.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and regarded the two figures before her.

She wore a unique looking headset on her head. It was a crescent shaped metal device; frameless glasses extended out from the other end of the device to cover her eyes like a visor.

“Let’s see. Mm, you are 173 centimetres tall, Caucasian, blonde-haired, a mole on your left cheek, both hands thin and white. I see that you have two gloves on your waist belt… … mm, there is information on you in the database. Gregory, an Awakened from Thorned Flower Guild. According to the degree of noteworthiness, you are a [B] class member in the guild. Your special skill is a fire type energy attack,” said Nicole quickly. Then, she quickly turned her attention to the broken hole on the wall. “As for him, a burly physique and the ability to transform his skin to stone. A strength type body technique skill. Likewise, he is also a [B] class member of Thorned Flower Guild. Name unknown. Name in use: Scavenger.”

After saying all that, Nicole pursed her lips to the side and said, “Did I get it right?”

Gregory was left dumbfounded.

“Who are you? How could you know about us…”

The one to shout that out was the woman.

“Ah, to my surprise, you are not in my database, lady.” Nicole regarded the woman. “I speculate that either my database is incomplete – the possibility of that is very low. My database holds information on most of the Awakened members of Thorned Flower Guild. For it to not have yours… … I guess you must have only recently joined Thorned Flower Guild, right?”

“Mm, you have a lean body figure and use daggers as weapons. Using weapons with such a short reach means you are proficient in melee combat… … additionally, consider also the fact that your body is not of the strength type… I guess you are either going the Martial Skills route or a speed type Body Technique user. Am I right?” Nicole said casually.
