80. The Way Out [2]
The door began to open, followed by the sudden sound of a loud impact coming from outside. Everyone immediately stopped.Someone shouted from a distance.“Don’t let them in! Catch them!”“Tsk, you think you can stop us, huh! We’re here to cause trouble, haha!”“Hey, stop or you’ll regret it!”The sound of running footsteps filled the hallway. Then the sound of something falling was heard, followed by the sound of blows that made Ken’s guards immediately turn around.“What’s happening?” one of them asked.There was no answer. Instead, two people were suddenly thrown through the newly opened door and slammed into the wall in front of them.Ken froze.Outside, chaos had already broken out.Several men he did not recognize at all were fighting with his kidnappers. There were quite a lot of them, and neither side seemed willing to back down.“Who are they?” one of Ken’s guards cursed.“I don’t know! Don’t let them in here!”Everyone’s attention was divided.Ken looked at the red screen in
79. The Way Out
Ken was finally brought out of the room. Every time he slowed his steps, one of them immediately pulled his arm harder, as if they were afraid that this ordinary delivery guy might suddenly disappear just like that.Ken did not try to fight back, not because he had given up, but because since leaving the room earlier, he had not found a single opening.The hallway they passed through was narrow, there were too many of them, and every one of his movements was being watched. Even when he deliberately looked back, the man behind him immediately stared at him sharply as if he knew he was looking for a way to escape.“Don’t move around too much,” the man on his left snapped.“I’m trying to remember where I put the item, tsk,” Ken replied softly.Ken snorted inwardly. These guys really don’t know how to treat a customer.However, at the corner of his vision, something that no one else could see began to move.A transparent red screen appeared silently in the corner of his vision. Ken stared
78. Cornered
Ken was still sitting tied to the chair. He used the opportunity to think. The problem was, the longer he thought, the more bad possibilities appeared in his mind.He had to escape.That much was clear.What was not clear was how.Ken looked at both of his hands, which were still tied, then looked around the room once again. There were no sharp objects, no windows, no ventilation openings large enough to pass through, and even the chair he was sitting on felt like it had been deliberately chosen because it was heavy enough to make it difficult for him to move.He tried to remember the movies he had watched.Unfortunately, there weren't many.Ken almost never had time to watch movies. Most of his time was spent working, looking for orders, delivering packages, and calculating whether the money he had was enough to survive until the end of the month.He used to be in college.However, financial problems had forced him to quit halfway through and choose to work harder. At that time, mos
77. A Familiar Face
A car stopped in front of the alley leading to the rented house.Audrey opened the door and got out without saying much. As soon as her feet touched the sidewalk, she immediately realized that something was different from usual.Several people had gathered around the entrance of the alley.Some residents stood in groups while whispering, while others occasionally glanced toward the inside of the alley. The atmosphere was far too crowded for it to be just a minor disturbance.Audrey frowned. She was about to walk past them when a hand suddenly grabbed her arm.“Audrey.”Audrey turned around. A middle-aged woman was standing beside her, Mrs. Sarmer, the woman who rented the house to them.“Oh, Mrs. Sarmer?”Mrs. Sarmer immediately pulled Audrey a little farther away from the crowd. Her face looked worried, and before Audrey could ask, the woman had already begun whispering.“Don’t go in yet.”Audrey looked at her with slight confusion but remained calm.“Why? What happened?”“Oh, there
76. Two Fugitives
Ken took a slow breath. He forced himself to remain calm, because showing panic in front of these people would only make his position worse.He raised his face and looked at the man standing in front of him.“I don’t know what you mean.”The man fell silent for a few seconds, then chuckled.“Good dog.”Ken frowned slightly.He wanted to retort, but held himself back. Anger would not help him get out of this room, while fear would not make the people in front of him any more merciful.So Ken could only shrug as much as he could.“Then just check if you want.”The man stared at him.Ken continued in a calm voice, “Besides, why would someone as influential as Mr. Adrian hand something important to an ordinary delivery guy like me?”The man’s smile slowly disappeared as he walked closer.“You really are stubborn, and you’re also stupid.”Ken did not answer.“You think we were just waiting for you here?” He chuckled softly. “Ever since you were taken away, there have been people checking th
75. The Kidnappers' Demand
One hand almost grabbed his collar, but Ken twisted his body and escaped. He kicked a plastic chair in front of the house, sending it flying toward the two people trying to cut off his path.“Hey!”The startled shouts of the residents immediately rang out. Several house doors opened. People began coming outside to see what was happening.Ken did not care. He only needed to get out of the encirclement.Someone chased him from behind. He turned around and swung his elbow. The blow struck the man’s jaw.“Ugh!”The man staggered.Ken immediately ran again. He was almost at the end of the alley when someone appeared from the side. He instinctively shifted his center of gravity.Phantom Step activated.His body moved diagonally, passing through the narrow gap between two people trying to catch him. His movement did not look like teleportation, only a change in direction that was too fast and difficult to predict.The man behind him lost his balance.Ken kept running.“Don’t let him get out!
