Chapter 928 - The Little Devil is Missing (1/2)
Xia Lei ran out of Caitlin’s house
The location of the explosion was at the little hotel By the time he found its source, the unfortunate establishulfed in flames
Caitlin and Jack quickly ran out of the wooden house
“Isn’t that the hotel?” Caitlin’s face paled “Costa, aren’t you staying in that hotel with your sister?”
Xia Lei said nothing, quickly ht about what happened on his way to The Fla dooaze of Jesus inside the church At the time, he brushed it off as an illusion but now it really seemed like that wasn’t the case!
Did the black-robed ht break out between Zhu Xuanyue and him?
These were questions Xia Lei needed answers to
Before long, Xia Lei hadthe front of the hotel There was already a crowd forood athered here He scanned his eyes throughout the crowd, but Zhu Xuanyue was nowhere to be found Following that, he focused his left eye into the sea of fla carefully, the wooden hotel collapsed into a wreck
A fire truck zoohters jumped off the truck They motioned for the curious crowd to stand back
The sheriff of the town had alsothe residents to learn the cause of the explosion but no one had a clear idea of what had happened
Xia Lei averted his gaze to a direction, where he spotted his Ford pickup truck The vehicle had suffered soe but was fine overall The shatteredon the driver’s side had resulted fro white on the dashboard It was a piece of paper
The man’s left eye twitched and pulled the paper closer to his line of sight
A box-shaped motif was drawn on the paper, it was depicted in a way that the box was on top of some flames Underneath the illustrated flames were two Han characters Destroy
[TL Note: Destroy - 毁灭]
The man immediately froze upon comprehension The box may have been draith simple shapes but he understood that the person had meant the ancient alloy box
With that, Xia Lei could confirm that the black-robedto achieve through this note? Is he asking me to destroy the alloy box? Why can’t he do it himself? If he really wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to stop hirasp the idea However, his direct concern noas Zhu Xuanyue’s safety Undeniably, she was extremely powerful but the wo to be able to beat the black-robed man?
Ka-boom!
The pickup truck exploded out of nowhere
The crowd yelped in shock, frantically backing away froround by the impact
It felt as if a ti for time to pass to set into action But Xia Lei discarded the thought Regardless of the type of boredient Explosives were con of it
This reminded him of that incident back in New Delhi, where the black-robed man had appeared out of the blue and tried to interfere with Zhu Xuanyue’s resurrection Following the black-robed man’s invasion, the lab was subjected to an intense explosion There had not been any forms of explosives in the laboratory There was no way it would have achieved an explosion at such a scale
“The black-robed y Did the collision of energies trigger an explosion? Why would he want to fight Zhu Xuanyue? What is his goal? To stop her? Or to kill her?” Questions tormented Xia Lei’s mind
Caitlin and Jack finally made it over
The woentle arm around his body She comforted, “Costa, your sister…”
There was a paused silence before Xia Lei ot away in time”
“Don’t worry, God will protect her,” Caitlin reassured Xia Lei
Jack did not approach Xia Lei Instead, he talked to an acquaintance in town “What happened here?”
“Not sure I heard it’s caused by gas leakage”
“What about the hotel customers?”
“With an explosion like this, chances of survival are s else?”
“So else? Do you mean a terrorist attack? Impossible, I was just outside the hotel and saw no one entering or exiting the hotel Plus, what terrorist organization would be duh to blast a s their conversation, Xia Lei couldn’t help but beco the hotel The black-robed y form while Zhu Xuanyue currently has a body There’s no way she could disappear in thin air like the black-robed ht? Is she dead?”
Was Zhu Xuanyue dead?
Xia Lei fervently rejected the possibility the moment it presented itself in his mind There was no way that Zhu Xuanyue would die Even if her body was blasted to bits, it would just be akin to a torn gar, she could create her new ‘clothes’ anywhere and anyti that comforted him was that the New Delhi explosion ay severe and she had ed to survive it She looked frail after the iet rid of her when she was at her weakest, hoould he be able to kill her now?
The ht about it, the more comforted he felt
“Costa, how about I accompany you to ask the sheriff?” Caitlin voiced, “Perhaps he would know so about this”
