1335 Looking For Reinforcements (1/2)
About a dozen mutants rushed in through the open door, all hostile and belligerent. It appeared that they had all come to fight Chen Xiaobei.
”About… About time you came!”
Stanford looked relieved. He was just about to reveal Xiangyu's whereabouts.
”You were the one who said that you could handle it. You told us not to intervene no matter what,” said a mutant with fins.
”Enough bullshit.” Stanford was already dispirited enough. He did not need someone else to rub salt in his wound!
He had thought that he could deal with Chen Xiaobei alone, and even put on a big show in front of his subordinates, telling them that he did not need their involvement.
Ironically enough, his plan failed and his face was now badly disfigured by Chen Xiaobei.
As if it was not humiliating enough already, his subordinate just had to go touch the sore spot. What a complete idiot!
Stanford barked through gritted teeth, trying to stifle the pain, ”Hurry up and destroy this son of a bitch! He nearly killed me!”
”Hey old man! Do you want to lose the other half of your face?”
Chen Xiaobei stared daggers at Stanford.
”Hmph! Don't you try anything stupid! The mutants here, they are all S-class agents. You have no chance against them! They're going to make you suffer, cause you so much pain you'd wish you're dead!” Stanford returned the glare.
”S-class?”
Chen Xiaobei turned to look at the group of truculent mutant agents.
The three mutants he met in Japan were A-class agents which had 70,000 combat power.
With the Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei could see that all the S-class agents in this room had about 90,000 combat power.
This was child's play to Chen Xiaobei, but he could not fight them on his own.
These mutants all had their own inherent Special Abilities; fighting them would not just depend on combat power.
On top of that, he could not afford to have Stanford escape while getting entangled with the mutants. It would not end well for Chen Xiaobei.
Most importantly, time was of the essence. Chen Xiaobei had to locate Xiangyu as soon as possible. He could not let anything happen to Xiangyu.
A radical course of action was the fastest way to get his answer.
”Do you think that you're the only one who knows to get reinforcements?” Chen Xiaobei retrieved a Returning Bracelet.
”You?” Stanford cocked his head, amused. ”What reinforcements are you going to get? This place is a top-secret S.H.I.E.L.D facility. Your people will be lost in the rocks!”
The mutants exploded into laughter at his statement.
”This kid must be scared out of his wits! No one can come close to our base!”
”Heh, so what if he could get reinforcements? All the S-class agents are here! We'll kill every single one of his backup!”
”That's right! Picking a fight here in our territory is suicide!”
Though he was being ridiculed, Chen Xiaobei wanted to laugh.
The Returning Bracelet was activated.
The marked point was in Bei Xuan Faction. As the black rift took shape, a bridge from the faction to the base was formed.
Swoosh!
A silhouette stepped through the black rift.
