Chapter 476 Attack (1/2)

Herlous received approval. He sat opposite Alvin, arranged his card set, and sneered, ”Since you want to give me free money, I shall grant you your wish.”

”Haha, it's still uncertain who will lose.” Alvin laughed loudly.

His laughter could be heard in the entire cabin. The other passengers looked over.

The two of them started the round, which quickly became intense. Alvin was very quick to familiarize himself with others and spoke in a tone as if they were already very close friends. After the initial awkward stage, the atmosphere soon became harmonious as they chatted and joked with each other.

Han Xiao stared at Alvin from start to finish, preventing him from having any ulterior motives. At the same time, he discreetly activated the metal detector and wave detector in case he had some devices on him.

However, Alvin did not make any strange movements at all; everything that he had on him was normal. He was just playing cards excitedly along the way, shouting and joking, seeming very forthright.

Two hours later, the train arrived at the station.

Alvin took a deep breath of the fresh air, turned around, and slightly bowed toward Han Xiao and the others. ”It was a short trip, but the time spent was amazing. It will be engraved in my mind as a beautiful memory. I sincerely thank you guys for your company. We are friends now. I hope that we will have the chance to meet again in the future.”

Then, he waved, turned around, and left with his bag.

”Strange guy,” Sylvia murmured.

”Such an amiable guy,” said Feidin with a smile.

”He's probably just an honest passerby. We might have been overthinking,” Herlous said.

Han Xiao glanced at him and did not comment. Although he still did not know Alvin's motive, he rarely believed that anything was coincidental. Even if this guy called Alvin did not do anything abnormal during the trip, he still did not let his guard down. He patted Phillip's metal head and said, ”Captured his looks?”

”A total of 372 photos, hum… There's one for every angle, hum…”

”Let's not care about him for now. We shall go search for our target.” Han Xiao nodded and walked forward. Then he casually asked, ”By the way, I did not see earlier, did you guys win money in cards?”

Herlous scratched his head.

”That guy is quite good; he won a few hundred from me… I lost a lot, so I let Feidin help me. He won a few rounds, and then we arrived. In conclusion… hmm? It happened to be a tie. No one won or lost any money.”

Han Xiao's footsteps suddenly paused, and he rubbed his chin.

”Alvin, never heard of this name before… interesting…”

…

As Han Xiao did not know Alvin's motive, he put the matter to the back of his mind, followed the clues from the intel, and found the last place that the target appeared.

It was a narrow, rural street surrounded by tall buildings. Between the tall buildings, there was surprisingly a comparatively short villa. Its construction style fitted the aesthetic of humans—smooth, symmetrical, and with a yard. It looked like a private mansion.

The alloy door was sealed shut, so the inside could only be seen through a small window in the door. There was no one in the yard at this time.

Han Xiao looked around and noticed a button beside the door, likely the doorbell for visitors.

”We're here to search for someone, not to kill… ahem, sneak in. It's best to knock. The target has foresight anyway. If he wants to see us, he will walk out himself.”

After pressing the doorbell, they waited at the gate. They were used to climbing over walls, so now that they had to walk the front gate, they felt uncomfortable.

After a while, Han Xiao pressed the doorbell a few more times, but still, no one responded.

”There might be no one in, or the person inside doesn't want to open the gate. What do you say, break in?” Herlous shrugged.

”Since no one responded, we shall go in and take a look before…”

Boom!

Han Xiao's sentence had yet to finish when a loud bang suddenly came from above. He was way too familiar with this sound—it was the sound of a cannon being fired. Han Xiao could analyze the cannon's model with just the sound. ”Dodge!”

Everyone there was a Super, so their reaction speed was extremely fast. They immediately jumped away from their initial spot.

Boom!

A chain explosion happened on where they initially stood, and black smoke filled the air—this was the effect of an exploded rocket.
