Chapter 175: Chapter 79: Peerless Among Equals

Lauren’s eyes were wide with anger as she pursued the thief.

Gao Xin also left Dong Chuan behind and hurried after her, moving even faster.

He even activated his organ overclocking to catch up with the thief at an extremely fast pace and arrived at the stairs first.

"Bang!" He threw a punch at the thief while his other hand reached for the Demon Blade.

But at that moment, a member of the Viking Gang from behind swung a large axe at him, yelling, "Die!"

"What the hell!" Gao Xin dodged swiftly and simultaneously slapped the side of the axe.

"Boom!"

The axe missed its intended angle and heavily struck the stairs, scattering dust.

Gao Xin turned around, leapt back a few steps, and glared angrily at the two brothers, Lauren and his sibling.

"Why strike me? Chase after the blade first!"

Lauren had also been ready to strike him, but hesitated upon hearing this.

Could it be that the two weren’t in cahoots? Was it just Kerry seizing the moment in secret?

"Then move out of the way!"

Gao Xin stared at them coldly, his body continually retreating, chasing up to the second floor like that.

He looked as if he was eager to chase after the blade yet cautious of being ambushed by the two.

Lauren really wanted to kill him directly and pursue, but that would have caused more delay, so he reluctantly followed Gao Xin up the stairs, moving at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

But upon reaching the second floor, where was Kerry’s shadow?

The trio’s altercation had given Kerry enough distance. Moreover, he excelled in stealth, and now his whereabouts were unknown.

"Are you idiots! If not for you dragging your feet, I would have caught him!" Gao Xin could hardly contain his anger.

Seeing him get angry first, Lauren menacingly said, "Who asked you to block the staircase? This must have been your plan all along, distracting me so the thief could seize the opportunity!"

Both brothers drew their weapons, facing Gao Xin.

Gao Xin became even more furious, "How dare you blame me?"

"I was about to seize the Demon Blade, if not for your ambush from behind, I would have definitely captured him!"

Lauren growled, "But you didn’t get the blade, and you blocked our way!"

Gao Xin retorted, "Nonsense! You imbecilic brother was about to chop my head off from behind, what was I supposed to do?"

"Let him kill me?"

Lauren was speechless; indeed, it was his brother who had attacked first.

And at that moment, Gao Xin indeed had the fastest speed, rushing up first and nearly capturing the thief.

But his brother’s axe had forced Gao Xin to defend himself, and this altercation allowed the thief to escape.

They initially thought this was a trap, so they immediately acted. But now Gao Xin denied it, and they couldn’t say for sure.

Lauren, grinding his teeth, really wanted to fight Gao Xin, thinking they had the advantage two against one.

But now that the Demon Blade was in Kerry’s hands, doing so would only benefit others.

Lauren steadied himself and spoke calmly, "Alright, I won’t argue with you."

"Now that the Demon Blade is in that guy’s hands, if we fight, it would benefit him."

"Since you’re not in this together, we three are in the same boat now and should unite to deal with him first."

Gao Xin eagerly said, "Fine, let’s solve him first! Let’s split up and search!"

But Lauren’s tone was severe, "Split your head!"

He still suspected that this was a scheme concocted by Gao Xin and Kerry.

If they separated, and Gao Xin secretly met up with Kerry to resolve the collar issue, then they, the brothers, would be at a disadvantage.

After all, his brother still wore a human collar.

"We... search together!" Lauren said emphatically.

Gao Xin scoffed, "Whatever, just don’t hold me back!"

Saying this, he turned and began searching the second floor, patting walls and initiating a thorough search.

The Viking Gang members clutched their axes, superficially patting the other side of the wall while vigilantly watching Gao Xin’s every move.

Gao Xin was bold, completely exposing his back, fully focusing on the search.

Gradually, he reached the end of the hallway where the wall had collapsed, a result of a previous fight with Heavy Pig.

Gao Xin stood on the edge, stretching out his upper body, and peered outside the wall to inspect the exterior of the apartment.

This single action sparked malicious thoughts in Lauren.

"This is... the edge of the apartment, I just need to push him out, and he’ll be point-killed!"

"This guy is actually turning his back to me, isn’t he afraid of being ambushed?"

"Or is he completely confident?"

Lauren’s face contorted as he carefully scanned the surroundings.

He worried it was a deception, perhaps Kerry was lying in ambush nearby, ready to strike as they approached.

But no, there was nothing, no sign of anyone suspicious.

Kerry could indeed camouflage, hold his breath, and even lower his heartbeat.

But they weren’t naive; with caution, they would still detect him at close range.

However, after a long search, they found no sign of him.

No, Kerry wasn’t here at all!

"No ambushes then, just as I thought, they aren’t together."

"This guy is actually searching seriously..."

"Haha, sorry, even if you really want to cooperate, I still distrust you."

Lauren decided to act, as Gao Xin’s threat was too significant. Even if they collaborated to find Kerry, they would still face the issue of dividing the blade afterward.

Rather than continually restraining each other, staying cautious, and harboring doubts, it would be cleaner to simply use this opportunity to eliminate Gao Xin now.

This opportunity was just too good.

He didn’t believe Gao Xin could be so strong, especially now that Gao Xin had cornered himself, leaving no room to dodge or flee.

He was unarmed! At most, he could use the collar as a knuckle duster.
