“Captain, if we attack directly, the defensive drones in the air will immediately attack us, and more reinforcements will follow suit as well!” Ed exclaimed as he looked at the residence through the display screen in the car.
Although he was not an Electronic Warfare Retaliation master, a simple scan of the device would reveal that the building in front of him was being specifically guarded by several defensive drones in the air.
Once an attack was launched, the alarm of the residence would be set off and a large number of defensive drones would arrive.
It would take some time for them to break into the residence to find David, and the last time they entered David’s residence, they did not manage to locate him at all.
In their opinion, it should be that David had some kind of special method to conceal himself. With the exoskeleton armors, they could have demolished the interior of the residence to find David.
However, that would still require some time. If the alarm were to go off, they would at most have less than a minute or no time at all.
“It’s alright. I have a solution to remove the security system!” Captain Feroman said in a low voice.
As soon as he spoke, the three remaining mercenaries looked at him.
“This is from that informant, who should be David’s enemy or someone who wants him dead. Either way, as long as it benefits us, who cares!?!” Captain Feroman said sneeringly.
David, who was practicing the Stormy Warhammer Technique in the underground gym, suddenly felt his identity bracelet vibrate.
“Uncle Galen, we’re in trouble. Someone is attacking the residence!” David said to Galen after he looked at the notification that popped up on his identity bracelet, which was prompting him to decide whether or not to turn off the security system. He knew that it was the hidden permissions program, which had been installed by Supervisor Gilson of Lesson Security, that had been triggered.
Galen looked at David’s identity bracelet and saw the same notification that was prompting David to decide whether or not the security system should be deactivated. He couldn’t help but look at David curiously.
He could guess that someone had probably tampered with the security system at David’s residence. However, the problem was that David had discovered it and reset the issues in the security system.
Based on that point, they could tell that David had studied the security systems rather well.
“David, I’ll inform Father and the reinforcements will arrive immediately!” Maron exclaimed as he frantically fiddled with the identity bracelet.
David left it to Maron to inform Mayor Bernard. Although he knew Galen was competent and impressive, he believed that Mayor Bernard was more reliable than Galen because he could mobilize his staff.
“David, you value your residence a lot, don’t you?” Galen suddenly asked.
“Uncle Galen, my mother bequeathed this place to me!” David had received the memories of his predecessor and merged the memories of his mother and his predecessor’s. Hence, the residence that held plenty of sentimental value was still very important to him.
“Maron, stay here. David, come with me!” Galen said as he grabbed David and picked him up effortlessly like he was as light as a feather.
Without waiting for Maron’s reply, he sped up and headed for the passage.
Maron was tempted to catch up, but after looking at Galen’s speed and thinking about Galen’s orders, he stayed behind.
David felt the wind whistling in his ears, he had never thought humans could reach that level of speed.
He was not running on an unobstructed runway. It was not an ordinary feat to be able to maintain that speed inside a building and dodge the objects flawlessly.
In the van outside, Captain Feroman fiddled with his identity bracelet and sent a series of codes to a residence that was not far away.
He then waited for a response, but to his surprise, the residence across the street did not respond for a long time. The security system was not switched off either.
Had the anonymous man deceived him?
Captain Feroman thought about it and tried to come up with the next course of action in his mind.
At this moment, five figures in silvery-white exoskeleton armor jumped down from the air and surrounded the truck.
“Damn it, why are there personal aircraft with hidden devices in here? These armorers have been protecting David!” Captain Feroman exclaimed in shock.
