Chapter 159 - duel (1/2)

Under the night sky, an old looking car, a large truck, and two armored chariots were driving towards Windmill Town.

In the black sedan, Saurun crossed his hands between his legs and closed his eyes to rest.

Ever since he had accepted the task of killing Zerom, after a day of reorganizing his troops, Saurun had taken his private army and set off for the Death God Ridge. There was information about the battle between the White-headed Eagle and Zero. After they entered the Death God Ridge, there was no news of them at all. However, from the observations of the Parkland family intelligence officers, the unprovoked explosion of the flames at Death's Ridge and the destruction of the Lorraine Bridge not long ago, it was evident that the battle between the two of them was still ongoing.

This surprised Saurun.

Not only was the White-headed Eagle an expert sniper, it was also an expert in jungle combat. Under his chase, Zero didn't seem to be dead yet. This made Saurun unable to figure out if Zero's luck was too good, or if Lan Qi's killing skills were worse than before.

But it didn't matter, because he was here. Having reached the fourth stage of Fire Elemental Mastery, the gene sequence in Saurun's body made room for an advanced ability. This meant that Saurun's strength had increased tremendously. After analyzing the data from the previous encounter with defeat, Saurun was very clear on how to fight this battle.

He would no longer take the risk and play the game of guerrilla warfare with zero. As long as he followed the usual strategy, Saurun's absolute advantage in military strength would be able to win against zero. In fact, if he was willing to sacrifice Windmill Town, Saurun could have completely destroyed this town along with Zero.

Of course, it must be done. Sauron did not want to do that. This would cause quite a bit of negative public opinion in the family, and would even cause a few hostile companies to make a scene. Saurun wasn't stupid enough to drag his family down.

When Windmill Town was in sight, Lan Qi's figure appeared in the light of the powerful lights on the armored chariot that was driving to protect the ship.

The caravan came to a halt.

”Lord Saurun, Lange is here.”

When the police officer in the car received the notice from the armored car in front of them, he relayed the news to Saurun in the back.

Saurun also did not open his eyes. He only calmly said, ”Let him come over.”

A moment later, Lan Qi entered Saurun's carriage.

Saurun opened his eyes as a circle of strange fire wheels appeared in his pupils. It was the phenomenon of the elemental domain's ability to reach the fourth level.

”Mr. Lange, I hear your operation is not going so well.” Sauron took two cigars from the hidden compartment in his seat, lit one for himself, and tossed the other to Lankey.

Lan Qi took the cigarette and lit it. After a puff, he said, ”There was an accident, but everything is still under control.”

Saurun remained silent for a moment before continuing, ”That was an accident outside of Phoenix City. You must have fought with him quite a few times within the Death God Ridge.” However, the latest news I got was that not a single spare part was missing as they entered Windmill Town. ”If these are all accidents, Mr. Lan Qi, then isn't it a bit too much?”

Lan Qi didn't refute. Instead, he lowered his voice and said, ”Sire Saurun, please believe that there won't be a next time!”

”You want to have another go?” Sauron shook his head. ”To tell you the truth, Mr. Lankey. I will take over the task of killing Zero. As for your actions, from now on, regardless of whether you are willing or not, you must terminate them. You may not know this, but your countless accidents have caused our family to lose face. ”Now the entire coastline is saying, look, that big guy Parkland still can't do anything to a sniper from the wilderness!”

The African man lowered his head in shame and said, ”This is indeed my fault, but …”
