Chapter 48 (1/2)

While David was chatting with Myron, he was also controlling the Shadow Servant with a portion of his mind, walking towards the entrance to the passage in a seemingly subconscious manner.

Since the Shadow Servant could only be 10 meters away from him, he had to go even closer to that spot in order to do what he intended.

Amory stood quietly to the side and watched David and Maron speak to each other. As long as the two of them did not go overboard, he would not stop them. Although he was old-fashioned, he knew that their identities gave them a great deal of power.

David stood still while the Shadow Servant entered a doorless control room in the passageway.

David did not have to fumble that much because everything had been left open when Staff Sergeant Harold left.

The Shadow Servant grabbed the control with one hand and adjusted it to show the target object on a display in the middle of the room.

The Shadow Servant quickly entered the coordinates of the location that he had already prepared, after which a long-range sniper cannon on the wall gave out a mechanical sound due to friction and turned its huge barrel towards the city abruptly.

At the same time, an alarm was set off and sounded from the identity bracelet on Staff Sergeant Harold’s wrist while he was in the washroom. The long-range sniper cannon that he had been controlling was taking aim at a safe area.

Staff Sergeant Harold did not even have time to wipe his butt, simply dashing out of the bathroom while holding his pants up and heading for the control room.

Although he was not an armorer, he had 700 kilograms of strength and incredible speed after years of training. However, even if he moved as fast as he could, it would still take him at least five seconds to get into the control room.

The entire structure of Strat Hotel was already revealed, and under the constant manipulation of the Shadow Servant’s hands, the image of Strat Hotel was continuously being zoomed in. The scene was finally fixed at the highest point, the chairman’s office.

However, the windows of the chairman’s office were made of reflective material, thus making it impossible for the long-range sniper cannon to accurately locate Mr. Strat.

A particular program in the security optical computer on the first floor of the Strat Hotel began running automatically, after which the security surveillance scanners in the chairman’s office automatically activated.

Under normal circumstances, the security surveillance scanners would only be activated after Mr. Strat left his office.

However, under the control of the security optical computer, the numerous security surveillance scanners in the office began to work at the same time. With the structure of the hotel’s map, the security optical computer calculated and deduced Mr. Strat’s precise location in the office.

That set of data was transmitted to David’s identity bracelet, and while David was chatting with Maron, he scanned the identity bracelet with his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Servant quickly adjusted the target of the long-range sniper cannon and then pressed the button to shoot.

At this moment, Staff Sergeant Harold charged into the control room with a furious gaze in his eyes. His anger was due to the way he had been forced to run while holding his pants up, which the two visitors had seen. It was tantamount to disgracing the city defense team.

As for the unusual long-range sniper cannon, it was not much of a concern to Staff Sergeant Amory, as snipers often did the unthinkable. Hence, it was normal for there to be one more.

In the chairman’s office of the Strat Hotel, Mr. Strat was reading some documents. He picked up a glass of water beside him and was about to drink it when he suddenly felt his heart palpitate.

If he was a combat professional, he would have already been able to tell that he was being targeted.

However, although he had powerful business management abilities, he was just an ordinary person. Perhaps he was a little different from other people in terms of Mental Energy. Otherwise, how could he have sensed the heart palpitations?

He looked out the window to see that there was a fire being lit up in the direction of the city wall in the distance.

Standing on an unsteady gait on top of the wall, Staff Sergeant Amory, David, and Maron almost lost their balance because of the sudden loud noise. Staff Sergeant Amory almost instinctively pushed them to the ground to stop them from swaying.

David had felt the recoil from the professional sniper rifles used by the Sniper Armor in his visions. However, the recoil of the long-range sniper cannons used for the city defense was far more powerful than that of the professional sniper rifles.

He had clearly felt the vibrations of the steel wall, and although he had prepared himself for it a long time ago, he had behaved similarly to Maron, not daring to display his emotions. Also, he was indeed frightened.
