Chapter 1553
Mosby said, “Honestly, we’ve been waiting here for quite a while! We wouldn’t believe it if anyone else could find this place, but Andrew here is as cunning as a fox. I knew he’d show up eventually. Andrew, how do you like this little trap we’ve set for you? Luring you into the jar and then catching you inside?”
Andrew’s smile gradually turned cold. “Honestly? Not impressed at all! Ms. Garcia, step aside—this is between me and them; it has nothing to do with you.”
Chantelle said anxiously, “But if I move away, you’ll die!”
Behind them was the source of the underground river, and their current position was on a cliff face hundreds of feet high. Andrew was truly trapped with no way to escape.
Andrew said calmly, “My problems aren’t your concern. Step aside. I want to see what these idiots can do to me!”
Mosby raged, “Ms. Garcia, move aside right now, or we’ll kill you too!”
Rafael’s face was ice-cold. “Ms. Garcia, this isn’t Blumedale. We’re hundreds of feet underground in a realm of the dead. After we kill you and eliminate Andrew, there’ll be no witnesses left alive. When we return to Blumedale, even if Governor McCormick wants to investigate, he’ll have no evidence!”
Chantelle’s expression finally changed as she realized that if she continued to interfere, she would definitely die alongside them. “Fine, I’ll step aside and stay out of your business.”
She raised her hands and slowly moved to the side, glancing at Andrew. “Mr. Lloyd, I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do to help!” Andrew remained expressionless. “Just step aside. Women shouldn’t get involved in men’s grudges.”
Suddenly, Chantelle bent down and grabbed the Desert Eagle from the ground. She raised it toward the bronze door and fired several shots.
Rafael and Mosby ducked for cover, screaming furiously, “Kill her! Kill that bitch! Open fire!”
Chantelle was an excellent shooter. After three rounds, she had taken down three of the foreigners. However, the remaining men did not wait for orders and opened fire reflexively under the stress. More than a dozen gun barrels erupted in bursts of flame simultaneously.
Andrew cursed under his breath, rushed forward to grab Chantelle, then spun around and charged off the platform in two steps, jumping straight down.
The hundred-foot drop passed in an instant. Chantelle could only hear the wind howling in her ears before there was a tremendous splash. Massive waves erupted, and the endless underground river swept them away.
Above, over a dozen gunmen rushed out and kept firing down into the black cavern below.
Both Mosby and Rafael looked absolutely livid.
“That little bastard actually escaped!” Rafael snarled through gritted teeth.
Mosby waved dismissively. “Impossible. There’s no way he could survive. The water in this cavern periodically erupts with hot springs, and the temperature is high enough to cook anything. Post guards here. If they dare show their heads, shoot them immediately. If they don’t surface, then it’s a death sentence either way—they’ll either drown or get boiled alive by the hot springs.”
Rafael ordered, “You, and you—stay here on watch and kill anyone you see alive! The rest of you, follow me into the tomb to support Stanley! Let’s go, Mosby. Now that we’ve dealt with Andrew, it’s time to unlock the ultimate secrets of this great tomb!”
Mosby rubbed his hands together excitedly. “Come on, let’s head into the tomb. The hidden burial chamber of the Demon Queen’s most beloved son—the treasures inside are beyond imagination… Truly beyond imagination…”
