Chapter 476 - 476: Answered Prayer? (1/2)

Fortunately, Mr. Carter was already on the roof by the time the door was opened.

”What the f*ck? Where did he go? He's not here also!” One member expressed his disappointment when they didn't see Mr. Carter inside.

”Call the surveillance team. Ask them if they are really sure that the scientist didn't leave his house. I'm gonna beat them if they told us the wrong information. The Dark Lord will not be happy if we return to the headquarter without the scientist.” The leader of the five elite members spoke up.

One member called the surveillance team who was sent to monitor Mr. Carter. They were the ones standing outside near the black sedan car. They insisted that they were a hundred percent sure that Mr. Carter didn't leave his house today.

”Search the area and find him again. He must be hiding somewhere,” The leaders commanded his other comrades. They immediately complied with his command.

The leader was now alone in the attic. He noticed the window. Though it was small, a person could still fit in that small opening. He quickly approached the window. By the time, he reached the window, Mr. Carter was already trying to descend from the roof.

The leader didn't see him because he was already hanging on the post going down. That spot was not visible to the other members who were outside. Now, his only option was to run as fast as he could to leave the place without getting seen by the other Dark Knight members.

Mr. Carter was very cautious with his movement. He did brisk walking then running alternately. When he made sure that no one was looking in his direction, he started to run with all his might. He was already old so he didn't know how far he could run from them at his current state.

Unfortunately, the leader who was still in the attic saw Mr. Carter's running figure from the distance. He noticed him the moment the leader climbed the roof as he passed through that attic's window.

”F*ck. Our target is running away. Go! catch him.”

The leader gave him the direction where he saw Mr. Carter. The Dark Knight's men who were standing outside immediately rode their car to follow Mr. Carter. The five elite members also rushed out of the house and went to their respective cars.

The chase began. Mr. Carter was just running on his feet. It's just a matter of time then they would be able to catch up with him. Mr. Carter heard the screeching sound of the car, fast approaching him.

At that certain moment, he knew that he had given away his location. They saw him.

'Damn! It looks like the mouse will be get caught by the hungry cat this time.' Mr. Carter thought to himself but he refused to give up.

Though he was already tired, panting and sweating heavily, he continued to run as fast as possible. The bad thing was there's no passerby who wanted to let him hitch with their cars. He didn't want to turn around but he knew that the black sedan was already near him.

Mr. Carter was silently praying in his mind, asking for a miracle. He knew that it was impossible but he was still hoping that someone would save him.
