I don't know him and have never seen him! If you're looking for someone like that, go ask someone else—it's got nothing to do with me!" Chantelle was both exasperated and amused. "Mr. Lloyd, don't even try to deny it, I—" Before she could finish her sentence, the underground palace suddenly shook violently.
Andrew's expression changed as he turned toward the massive bronze doors that had been pushed open. In the next instant, a flood of men in black suits, all heavily armed, stormed inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTwo neat rows of gunmen-over 100 strong-immediately surrounded Andrew and the others.
A man in polished dress shoes stepped in with a smug grin that did not reach his eyes. "Well now, what a grand harvest." He shouted, "Mr. Driscoll, we've cto pick you up!" To everyone's shock, Rafael, who had been unconscious earlier, suddenly sprang to his feet. In two quick steps, he reached the protection of the black-suited guards and then spun around.
"Andrew, didn't expect this, did you? You thought you'd won, but I've got news for you. The real winner is-it's us, the Driscolls!" Chantelle's face had turned pale. "All of them are top-level enforcers, and we're outnumbered. Mr. Lloyd, we're no match for this." Andrew remained calm as he looked at Rafael and asked, "What do you want?" Rafael pointed and said coldly, "What do I want? I want you to hand over the Elixir of Immortality! Then, I kill every last one of you and walk out of here with everything." Logan exploded in anger, shouting, "Mr. Driscoll, if you kill us, even if you get all the treasure and escape, you'll still be a dead man!" Rafael sneered, "Logan, don't try to scare me! I'll eliminate all of you as witnesses, and when I get out, I'll just hide in the Driscoll residence!" He added arrogantly, "Even if George, that old fool, comes asking questions, the Driscolls won't care!" Logan's face suddenly changed as he realized Rafael was out for blood and treasure.
Tiana clenched her teeth. "Andy, screw it. Let's fight them!" Just as Andrew was about to speak, a massive water column shot up from the artificial lake in the center of the underground palace, reaching straight to the ceiling. At the stime, the entire underground chamber began to shake.
Crackling fissures instantly spread across the entire ceiling, and large chunks of dust began falling down steadily. Chantelle screamed, "Oh no, the underground palace is collapsing!" Rafael had not expected the situation to take such a sudden turn for the worse. He looked at the person beside him and angrily demanded, "What's happening? Did you plant explosives?" The head of the Driscoll security team said through gritted teeth, "No, we didn't touch anything!" Rafael muttered, "This is bad! We won't be able to get a single thing out of here!" He pointed at Andrew and ordered, "Kill that kid immediately and take the Elixir of Immortality from his hands!" Just then, a mass of hair dropped down from above, wrapped around his body, strangled his neck, and pulled him upward.
The Driscoll guards had been ready to shoot Andrew, and this sudden turn of events immediately disrupted their rhythm. They all raised their guns and began firing at the Night Hag above.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing this, Tiana exclaimed joyfully, "Now's our chance!"
Andrew had already charged forward and shouted urgently, "Mrs. Rhodes, forget them! Let's get out of here first!" Immediately, everyone else followed his lead and rushed toward the bronze doors.
The violent shaking worsened.
Instead of just dust falling from P.n
above, huge stone blocks were now crashing down. The whole tomb was coming apart, collapsing under the force of sunknown, terrifying power.
Andrew dashed ahead at lightning speed, reached the doorway, and was just about to escape when he abruptly spun on his heel and turned back. He shouted over his shoulder, "Don't go through the main doors! Everyone, back this way!" Tiana, Chantelle, and the others were confused, but they did not hesitate to follow his orders unconditionally.
