The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 554
Chapter 554 Prey Hooked
Hao Zheng was a little unhappy, his brows slightly furrowed, his face slightly unhappy…
A tall and skinny staff officer beside him saw through this and immediately said to the four people behind Qiu Ze, “Newcomer? Do you understand the rules?”
“Even if you are personally chosen by the City Lord, you will still have to listen to Minister Hao’s arrangements after joining our General Staff.”
Hao Zheng was naturally very happy to have someone declare his sovereignty for him. After casting an admiring gaze, he immediately stood up at the right time and said kindly,
“Yuan Ming, you’re wrong. You’re all one of us. Be gentle…!”
The tall and thin man called Yuan Ming immediately said honestly, “Yes, Minister…”
As the two of them chanted, it was like a wonderful’performance ‘…
However, although their acting skills were superb, but the “script” was too old, the four people behind Qiu Ze remained unmoved, as if they hadn’t heard of it as they continued to size up the room.
Didn’t the other party actually treat him with such courtesy? Wasn’t this making him unable to get off the stage in front of his subordinates?
Hao Zheng’s expression instantly fell. However, he didn’t get angry on the spot. He only asked with a cold face, “I’m asking you guys, who are you and what are your names? Why did the City Lord send you here?”
Hao Zheng’s question this time was no longer aimed at the four of them. He even stared at Qiu Ze, causing the latter to smile bitterly and spread out his palms to show that he didn’t know anything.
As for the mysterious crowd of four, they didn’t stop. In the middle of these two sentences, they were already less than two meters away from the central sand table.
After that, the four of them stopped in Hao Zheng’s cold voice. The only woman among the four finally said calmly, “Almost there. Try to keep your movements as small as possible. Do it…”
The moment the cold female voice sounded, Qiu Ze, who was walking at the front, quickly pulled out his hand that was originally behind him. A Thunder God pistol equipped with a muffler aimed at the staff officer who had yet to react.
“Pa!”
Mastiff, Krait didn’t use any firearms. With a single step, he held a pitch-black dagger in his hand and pounced out like a fierce tiger.
Li Hu did not move. He waved his left and right hands, and several thin pieces of ice turned into cold light and flew out of his hand.
“Whoosh … whoosh …!”
“Puchi …!”
Bullets flew about, light blue ice fluttered about, pitch-black daggers flashed like the fangs of a ferocious beast. In the midst of the chaotic sounds, the four staff officers beside the sand table, as well as the messenger at the entrance, all died in an instant.
Only Qiu Ze, Li Hu, Mastiff, Krait, Li Li were secretly focused, ready to patch up the leak at any time.
However, their opponent was too slow, or rather, they had never expected that the opponent would make a move.
All of this, the entire process was smooth and smooth. There was no surprise at all. In fact, the loudest sound in the entire process was Qiu Ze’s lightning snake that was equipped with a muffler.
As for Hao Zheng, who was still acting as an official until the moment he died, his face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
He had too many questions, too many to figure out…
However, it was clear that he could only be a foolish ghost, because no one would explain to a dead person…
In an instant, the dust settled. Li Li said again, “Well done. Quickly tidy up the scene and wait for the host to return.”
After Li Li finished speaking, everyone quickly moved. In just a few minutes, Qiu Ze, Li Hu, the mastiff, Krait, and the others had tidied up, and the entire city lord’s room quickly returned to its previous state.
The corpses by the sand table and at the entrance all disappeared. Qiu Ze brought Li Hu, the mastiff, and Krait, who were trying to shrink as much as possible, to stand beside the sand table.
Apart from the messenger at the entrance disappearing and Li Li’s’humanoid spider ‘appearing on the roof, the entire scene in the city lord’s room was almost the same as before.
It was obvious that Li Li was waiting for the rabbit. Hearing Qiu Ze’s words, Cao Zhigang hurriedly left, apparently to prepare for his own retreat.
However, he still had to return here. The various legions outside the City Lord’s Mansion were still following orders from this side.
Ten minutes later, Cao Zhigang still hadn’t appeared, causing Qiu Ze, who was usually steady, to suspect that Cao Zhigang had secretly slipped away after knowing that the five cities had been defeated through some secret channel.
However, the five of them also calmed down. After another five minutes, two hurried noises suddenly appeared on Qiu Ze’s black communicator. It was quite loud. Qiu Ze immediately said excitedly,
“Minister Li, the brothers at the entrance of the Administrative Office are here. If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Zhigang will be here in about three minutes.”
“Very well, theoretically speaking, you only need to be responsible for attracting his attention,” Li Li said, leaning against the door wall. “If it’s just the two of you, I’ll end the battle in an instant.”
Qiu Ze immediately nodded and said, “Yes!”
In less than three minutes, uneven footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside the door. With Li Li’s hearing, she could barely tell that it was the footsteps of two people.
Combined with the previous information, it was obviously Cao Zhigang and his deputy, Wen Bin…
Everyone in the room quickly entered their states. Li Hu, the mastiff, and Krait tried their best to stand by the sand table. As for Li Li, she stuck her head on the door wall tightly.
“Kacha …!”
The door rang. The door of the City Lord’s room was pushed open cleanly by a strong man. However, even though the door was pushed open, the man took a step back and gave the seat to a middle-aged man who was not tall behind him.
Li Li had seen this man more than ten times in the information, because he was the City Lord of Qilin City-Cao Zhigang. At the sand table, Qiu Ze quickly looked at the door when he heard the sound of the door. The other “staff officers” were still standing on the sand table seriously.
“City Lord…!”
Without waiting for Cao Zhigang to speak, Qiu Ze opened his mouth before Cao Zhigang, attracting the attention of Wen Bin and Cao Zhigang.
