Chapter 520 - 328: Fireworks (Part 2)
"Don’t panic, let everyone into the hotel, no one goes out!"
Then.
Audrey walked alone towards the hotel entrance.
...
At the hotel entrance.
Brick stood side by side with a Cardinal.
Upon seeing Audrey come out.
The Cardinal had an arrogant expression, nostrils flaring slightly, and spoke coldly:
"Audrey, if you know what’s good for you, get Lin Lang out here immediately! Otherwise, you all will pay for your actions!"
Audrey tilted her head up, meeting his gaze without backing down:
"I’ll say it again, Lin Lang isn’t here, you’ve got the wrong place."
The Cardinal’s gaze turned sinister:
"In that case, kneel and surrender, come back with me to the Church Court for trial! This is your last chance!"
At those words!
Audrey’s lips curled into a cold smile, her tone resolute:
"Church Court? You’ve already lost to Lin Lang, you no longer rule Phantom Star City! You have no right to address me with that condescending tone!"
"How dare you!"
At those words!
The Cardinal’s face turned beet red with anger, veins bulging on his forehead!
He suddenly waved his hand, roaring at the agents behind him:
"What are you standing around for! Attack, take down Audrey Grand Hotel, leave no one behind!"
No sooner had he spoken!
A team of agents immediately moved forward!
Their weapons glinting coldly, their footsteps rapid and determined, attempting to surround Audrey completely.
But seeing this, Audrey’s eyes turned sharp—
She knew that fighting head-on at this moment was not a wise choice!
So she immediately used her superpower!
And leapt back into the hotel!
...
Seeing this!
The Cardinal ordered again:
"Those heretics are all hiding inside the hotel, chase them down, drag them out even if you have to dig three feet deep, don’t let a single one escape!"
"Yes!"
The agents dared not hesitate, flooding towards the hotel.
Audrey had already regrouped with her subordinates at the hotel entrance.
She stood at the front, posture upright, her gaze resolute as she looked at the approaching agents, loudly shouting:
"Everyone hold the entrance, don’t let them in! This is our turf, we can’t allow them to run wild!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, gripping their weapons tightly, forming a defensive stance.
The agents rushed to the hotel entrance, but were blocked by the defensive line formed by Audrey and the others.
The two sides were at an impasse, the air thick with tension.
...
The Cardinal at the rear saw this, frowned, and ordered:
"Fire! What are you waiting for!"
"Shoot them, take down these rebels!"
However!
The agents hesitated slightly, all looking towards Brick—
Although the Church Court labeled them insurgents, they were still citizens of the Beautiful Country!
If they truly had to kill.
At the very least, Brick had to give the order personally!
...
Brick’s gaze was conflicted, as if he too was hesitating!
And at this moment!
A figure rushed over, it was Natalia.
She strode up to Brick, anger and urgency in her eyes, loudly stating:
"Brick, snap out of it! You’re the leader of the Special Agent Bureau now, not the Church Court!"
"Are you really going to let the Church Court act recklessly, harming innocent civilians?"
"Don’t forget what our duty is!"
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Brick.
...
Brick heard Natalia’s questioning, a cold smile appearing on his face!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with mockery:
"Natalia, in what capacity are you speaking to me now?"
"I know about your relationship with Lin Lang, that’s why I didn’t want you to participate in this operation!"
"Yet for him, you’re willing to defy my orders, aren’t you?"
At these words!
Natalia frowned deeply, her eyes filled with urgency and sincerity:
"Brick, this is not the same thing! At least these people are innocent, we can’t follow the Church Court’s orders and harm innocent civilians!"
Brick’s smile grew more sinister, he stepped forward, speaking viciously:
"No, as far as I’m concerned, anyone connected to Lin Lang is not innocent!"
"You’d better step aside, don’t block my way!"
"Otherwise, I won’t show mercy, I’ll take you down too!"
Natalia’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief!
The Brick she remembered was hot-tempered yet upright!
Now he had become so strange, so ruthless!
Brick no longer paid attention to Natalia, suddenly turning around and loudly ordering the agents:
"Follow my orders! Continue the attack! Take down the hotel!"
"Yes!"
"Stop!"
Natalia saw this, her heart aflame!
She immediately rushed to the frontline, shouting to her led team:
"Follow my orders, do not open fire!"
The agents in the team looked at each other, hesitation in everyone’s eyes.
They looked at Natalia, then at Brick—
One was their immediate superior!
The other was the head of the Special Agent Bureau.
They didn’t know what to do!
...
Brick, seeing this, was furious!
He pointed at Natalia, teeth gritted as he said:
"Natalia, you’re openly defying orders, as of now, you’re dismissed! Someone! Arrest this traitor for me!"
The Cardinal had a smug look on his face!
With a wave of his hand, a few agents walked towards Natalia.
Seeing the agents closing in!
Natalia’s face changed:
"Is there really no room for redemption?"
And at this critical moment of peril!
