Chapter 345 - 345: Man With The Fox Mask (1/2)

Blaring alarm jolted the couple out of their peaceful, idle time. Lillie's eyelids unhurriedly fluttered open, unperturbed by the sudden ear-piercing screech of the siren and the room's light flickering red; telling everyone that there's a potential threat ahead of the headquarters.

”This is...” Equally unruffled by the dramatic alarm system, Ethan lifted his head to look at the flickering red light in recognization of its meaning.

Who could it be that's ballsy enough to attempt an invasion against White Bird? Way to ruin another sparse time with his wife.

If he gets the chance, Ethan would love to bring his wrath on them.

This is the second time he has witnessed this particular occurrence. The first one would be when She Gu attempted to raid the headquarters, intending to snatch Yu Mei—which Lillie intentionally allow to happen.

The headquarters was in full assault and defense mode. White Bird dominated the battle, swept She Gu's men like a tsunami.

It was a one-sided annihilation, and it was both painful and enthralling to see.

White Birds marching everywhere in an orderly fashion, their stance and expressions didn't emitted even a hint of fear. They didn't let their nerves impede their goal to kick out the invaders.

A ringing sound from Lillie's desk snapped his attention back to the present. Feeling his wife shuffling, Ethan placed his hand on her back to support her in sitting up.

Lillie thanked him with a peck on the cheek.

Not moving from the couch, Ethan quietly watch as Lillie made her way towards her desk to answer the call from the intercom.

[Boss,] Elliot's static voice filled the air, allowing Ethan to hear him as well. [There's an unknown faction up ahead the headquarters. They're armed and hostile. First line of defense was already dispatched to retaliate.]

An unknown faction?

[Our surveillance division doesn't recognize them. They all wore varied attires and masks, and there's no insignia detected in their person. We hypothesize that they came from different factions hired by a single employer.]

While listening to Elliot's reports, Lillie took the remote on her desk and pressed a button that switched the painting at Lillie's left side of the room to rotate, revealing a large flatscreen TV.

Another press and the TV screen turned on. It was the surveillance camera interface displaying what what Ethan recognized as the external surroundings of the headquarters that was littered by large trees.

Lillie shifted through the channels for a few times before finally halting at where they can witness a good glimpse of the fight.

Exactly what Elliot stated previously, the assailants were varied and doesn't seem to contain any sort of item or emblem that parade what group they belong to.

A group without any of those identification usually signifies that they are new bloods, or that they hide who they belong to.

But with skills like what Lillie and Ethan sees right now on the screen? The first assumption looks far-fetched.
