Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Three People Poisoned by Sky Net

Seeing Angela appear, Xiao Zheng was taken aback. Hadn’t the intelligence report said that Angela was dealing with a very important affair of a subordinate company and had already left the Gu Castle? How come she suddenly appeared now?

Right then, Xiao Zheng didn’t hurry away but stood his ground.

Angela chuckled, "Since you’re already here, why the rush to leave?"

"Is this a trap you’ve set up?" Xiao Zheng laughed as well.

Though he disliked meeting this woman, now that he had encountered her, there was no helping it. Xiao Zheng naturally didn’t feel nervous and appeared quite calm.

"Is that all you care about? Don’t you want to ask if I’ve been doing well over these years?" Angela said, her gaze carrying a trace of resentment.

The Constantine Family members who had caught up were stunned by the Clan Leader’s words; there was a lot of implied meaning in them.

Long Qie and Titan were trying to hold back their laughter.

"Cough, cough."

Xiao Zheng chuckled awkwardly. Since he had previously rejected this woman fiercely, he felt somewhat guilty, hence he didn’t know how to respond and changed the subject, laughing, "I do care about that, of course, but I have some urgent business to attend to right now, so I must be leaving."

With that,

Xiao Zheng gave a meaningful glance with his eyes.

The three of them immediately dashed through the water-filled corridor towards the main gate at full speed.

"That guy, what a bastard!" Angela gritted her teeth, vexed. Why did he run the moment he saw her? Was she that frightening?

Angela was both aggrieved and angry, coldly commanding, "Activate the mechanism!"

Immediately someone responded, "Yes."

Then that person walked to a wall panel, tapped it gently, a stone on the wall turned, revealing a button, and they pressed it.

Zzzzt!

A brilliant arc of electricity shot out within the corridor, like a swimming dragon, darting into the water with a sizzling noise.

Then, numerous powerful streaks of electricity, dazzling with white and blinding purple, various lights illuminating, burst forth in large swaths into the water.

All the stagnant water in the corridor lit up at that moment. A surge of bright light rose up like a massive wave, torrentially.

Extremely violent!

"It’s electricity!"

Xiao Zheng and the others were shocked. Water conducted electricity, and standing in it meant this terrifying electric energy could directly assault their bodies.

Ordinary electricity they could naturally withstand, but the lightning issuing from the corridor was formidable and horrific. Even peerless masters couldn’t endure it!

"Damn it, this woman is really ruthless." Long Qie cursed, leaping up. A terrifying bolt of electricity had just surged through his body, nearly paralyzing him.

"We need to get to the walls, away from this water."

Xiao Zheng shouted, springing up towards the wall. His five fingers extended, radiant with dense Gang Qi, and struck the wall.

Instantly, he adhered to the wall like a gecko. Xiao Zheng then skillfully climbed to the top, out of reach of the electricity.

Long Qie and Titan did the same as Xiao Zheng, quickly scaling the wall. There was no choice, as the electricity in the water, shimmering with white light, was too intense. Even though they had the strength to resist, it was still very uncomfortable.

Angela smiled, "It seems you do have some tricks up your sleeves."

"Hmph, resorting to plots and schemes is not the act of a true hero," Long Qie barked.

Angela giggled, "I am hardly a good hero, just a simple girl."

Xiao Zheng said, "Enough talk, we need to get out of here now."

Xiao Zheng knew very well that Angela was an extremely formidable woman. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to successfully inherit the position of Clan Leader of the Constantine Family. Her qualities in every aspect, whether Martial Arts or intelligence, far exceeded those of an ordinary person; to say that she was a heroine among women was not an exaggeration.

He had been tricked this time, with even the Sky Net intelligence agency kept in the dark. That was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

It was clear that Angela had an entire plan in place to capture him, so there must be more tricks up her sleeve.

Xiao Zheng dared not delay, knowing that if Angela’s backup plans were activated, he might fall right then and there. After all... he couldn’t truly bring himself to kill Angela, as he would show mercy. And once there was this hesitation, every move he made was restricted, especially on Angela’s home turf, which greatly increased the likelihood of being captured.

With that said,

Xiao Zheng burst out towards the gate.

The corridor stretched over five hundred meters, and Xiao Zheng, using his full strength, was incredibly fast. With just a few breaths, he shot through the corridor like a streak of white light, swift beyond compare.

Long Qie and Titan followed closely behind.

However, their speed was slightly slower.

Angela was taken aback by how quickly Xiao Zheng moved; she hadn’t even had time to react before she urgently shouted, "Quick, activate the mechanisms in the wall!"

"Yes."

The person behind her responded.

Then that person pressed another button.

Suddenly,

Clink clink clink!

A series of mechanical noises came from the walls, and then small holes cracked open. The sound of the wind whistled through as needle after needle, like streams of light, shot out. The density was such that it looked like a rain of light, covering the sky and so thick that no gaps could be found.

At that moment, Long Qie and Titan were still in the corridor, facing the steel needles with immense shock. Their spirits sank, and the Gang Qi within their bodies surged out, enveloping them completely.

This Gang Qi acted like a suit of armor, offering protection from many things.

However, the needles had appeared so suddenly and in such vast numbers, forming a dense, impenetrable curtain. The majority were blocked by the Gang Qi, but still, some managed to penetrate through and stabbed into their bodies.

They each felt a sharp pain.

But both were used to injuries and didn’t pay much attention, their bodies not even trembling as they followed Xiao Zheng out of the corridor.

"Break through the main gate," Xiao Zheng commanded succinctly.

"Yes," both Long Qie and Titan answered, a fierce light flashing in their eyes.

Whoosh!

The trio charged towards the gate.

Watching the scene, Angela waved her hand gently, a smile of confidence on her lips as she said, "Go after them."

"Yes."

A group of people said in unison.

They then burst forth in pursuit.

By this time, Xiao Zheng and the others had already reached the gate. With a roar from Xiao Zheng, he punched out with the force of a meteor. The gate shook violently, followed by a deafening roar, and then collapsed.

"Let’s get out!"

Xiao Zheng exclaimed joyfully.

However, just then, the situation took a sudden turn. Long Qie and Titan both felt their legs go weak as their bodies began to go numb. Stumbling, they fell to the ground.

"What’s happening?" Noticing this, Xiao Zheng quickly rushed to their side, his voice anxious.

"Those needles... they’re poisoned!"

Long Qie growled.

"It’s probably a sort of anesthetic, not lethal, but it’s affecting our ability to move," Titan analyzed calmly.
