Chapter 372: Intense Battle in the Warehouse
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under Lan Dahai’s lead, the two of them began to navigate through the complicated warehouse area.
With a “security guard” by his side, Lan Dahai’s actions were obviously much bolder. This was also the first time Wang Xiao had followed him so openly. For a moment, he was really not used to it. However, what was worse was that he could not leave any marks.
A few minutes later, the two of them stopped in front of a warehouse.
The size of the warehouse was not big, and it was located at the edge of the warehouse area. There were weeds all around, and there was only a small path made by feet. Logically speaking, no one would store the goods here, unless they were people like Lan Dahai.
The only advantage of this warehouse was that it was close enough to the border of Kaiyang City. Wang Xiao guessed that Lan Dahai must have hidden all the good stuff here. Once he realized that the situation was bad, he could immediately pack up and escape.
But if that was the case, why did Lan Dahai make a special trip to the market?
Just as Wang Xiao was deep in thought, Lan Dahai had already opened the door of the warehouse. However, it was pitch-black inside, and he couldn’t even see what was inside.
“Do you believe me now?”
Lan Dahai stood sideways at the entrance of the warehouse. He looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly, “Or do you still not believe me and want to go in again to confirm?”
“No need. If you can open the door, it means that this warehouse is indeed yours.”
After some hesitation, Wang Xiao shook his head and refused. Although he was very curious about what Lan Dahai was hiding here, there was actually no need to take the risk.
Qi Lianjun should be here soon. Wang Xiao only needed to wait for Lan Dahai to enter before locking the door from the outside. He could still go in and take a look after the military arrested him.
As he thought about it, Wang Xiao didn’t forget to add, “In the future, just come and pick up the goods. Don’t be so sneaky. You won’t be misunderstood then, right?”
After saying that, Wang Xiao turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly felt his vision turn black. It was Lan Dahai who had covered his head with a cloak from behind!
Wang Xiao was shocked and was about to struggle when he suddenly felt a
sweeping kick under his feet. He immediately lost his balance and fell back. However, before he landed, someone caught him. Then, he felt himself being picked up by someone.
“Go in!”
Hearing Lan Dahai’s shout, Wang Xiao felt a short moment of weightlessness before he landed heavily on the ground. When he pulled off the cloak on his head, he realized that he had been thrown into the warehouse!
Bang! Lan Dahai turned on the lights and Wang Xiao suddenly felt a little disappointed.
There were only two one-meter-square metal boxes in the 50-square-meter warehouse. As there were too few things, the warehouse seemed a little empty even though it wasn’t huge.
However, even though he was disappointed, Wang Xiao still did not forget his image. He got up from the ground and glared at him angrily. “Are you crazy?! I already said that I don’t need to see the inside. Why did you throw me in here?!”
Looking at the exasperated Wang Xiao, Lan Dahai suddenly revealed a strange smile. “Keep pretending. Let’s see how long you can keep pretending.”
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that, but he still braced himself and continued to play dumb. “W-What am I pretending for? I misunderstood you just now, but who asked you to be so sneaky?”
“You still don’t want to admit it? Then don’t blame me for being impolite…”
Lan Dahai sneered. A large saber appeared out of thin air in his hand. Just by looking at the gemstone decorations on the handle and blade, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary tool.
A terrifying cold light entered his eyes. Wang Xiao’s first reaction was that he had been exposed, but how was this possible?
The disguise of [Nirvana Mask] was flawless, and Wang Xiao had always maintained the persona of a “security guard”. How did Lan Dahai know that he was fake? Could it be that he really knew everyone here?
The doubts in his heart surged like a fountain, but Wang Xiao did not have the mood to think at all.
If this was the secret realm, Wang Xiao believed that he could beat up ten Lan Dahais. However, this was not the secret realm, and he did not have the habit of storing weapons and tools. Right now, he could only rely on himself and the rotten wooden stick that he had casually picked up.
“I’m dead meat this time…”
Wang Xiao thought to himself. He braced himself and raised the rotten wooden stick. “You’re really here to steal!”
“Still pretending?”
Lan Dahai sneered and closed the door behind him. “You recognized me just now, right?”
“Recognize you?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He did not understand what this sentence that came out of nowhere meant.
Seeing Wang Xiao’s reaction, Lan Dahai’s smile became even colder. “Don’t play dumb. You must have recognized me.”
“You know that I’m being pursued by the military, so you followed me here to confirm my location. Just now, you wanted to leave not because you believed me, but because you wanted to take the opportunity to inform the military. Am I right?!”
Wang Xiao fell silent with a strange expression. He thought that his true identity had been exposed, but he did not expect it to be like this.
Looking at the confident Lan Dahai, Wang Xiao instantly thought of all the sorrows in his life before he managed to hold back his laughter.
On the other side, Lan Dahai saw that Wang Xiao didn’t speak for a long time and thought that he was right. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He raised his saber and said coldly, “I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but since you recognized me, I can’t let you leave alive!”
Before he could finish speaking, Lan Dahai had already rushed towards Wang Xiao. He exerted strength in his arms and raised his saber, sweeping towards Wang Xiao’s neck!
With the flash of the blade, Wang Xiao realized that something was wrong. Lan Dahai was determined to silence him. Whether it was his true identity being exposed or a simple misunderstanding, this situation was unavoidable!
As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao quickly crouched down and dodged the blade. At the same time, he held the wooden stick in his hand and instinctively swung it hard at Lan Dahai’s head!
Thud!
With a crisp sound, Wang Xiao felt the weight in his hand lighten. He raised his head and saw that the rotten wooden stick that had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round had already been broken into three pieces. Now, his only weapon was gone!
However, this attack clearly exceeded Lan Dahai’s expectations, and his attack also slowed down.
Wang Xiao took the opportunity to roll backward to widen the distance between them. At the same time, a white light flashed in his hand, and he took out something from his territory
Whoosh—
The hidden weapon whistled through the air. Lan Dahai’s expression changed and he hurriedly raised his saber to defend himself. However, he did not expect Wang Xiao’s accuracy to be so bad. The hidden weapon made a loud sound when it hit the warehouse door, but it did not even brush the edge of his clothes.
Wang Xiao’s face was clearly a little embarrassed. However, although his attack missed this time, it opened up a new idea in his head.
At the same time, Lan Dahai turned around in shock. The expression on his face suddenly became a little strange.. The so-called “hidden weapon” just now was actually a copper ore!
