Chapter 399: Chapter 254_3

"You didn’t see it — I just smashed down hard, scaring those two guys into running away in panic; they didn’t dare to come any closer!"

Bai Ling held the Golden Benba Bottle carefully, protecting it in her arms, and gave Big Hammer a sidelong glance:

"You, always relying on brute force! If it weren’t for Xiao Chu leading us to escape, your hammer would not have done any good and we’d have been surrounded by them instead."

Though she complained a bit, her eyes were filled with laughter, fully aware that in this team action, nobody was dispensable.

Lin Chuqiao nodded with a light laugh, speaking as they ran:

"Everyone contributed. Once we’re back, we’ll celebrate properly since we’ve got the Golden Benba Bottle — it wasn’t all for nothing!"

On the communication channel, everyone chimed in, making the atmosphere quite lively.

"Exactly!"

The Professor took over the conversation, summarizing:

"This successful acquisition of the Golden Benba Bottle is extraordinary. With it, everyone’s capabilities will elevate significantly and we’ll attract more like-minded talents, strengthening our team."

He paused here, his tone turning serious:

"Now, Xiao Chu, you all get in the car, take the Golden Benba Bottle, and leave quickly. Monkey stays at the observation point, rigorously informing us about any changes within the manor."

"Remember, safety first! See you at the base!"

"Understood, Professor!"

Everyone responded in unison, their steps becoming increasingly brisk.

The fatigue from their intense sprinting seemed to vanish instantly, leaving only anticipation for what the future holds.

The Lu Family Manor was deathly silent at this moment.

Only the wind roared through the empty courtyards, sweeping up the fallen leaves and rustling loudly.

Fang Cheng, along with the Professor and Li Dingjian, had arrived at the iron gate of the manor.

Their figures were somewhat blurred under the dim moonlight, and the sound of their footsteps echoed quietly.

Since almost all the Treasure Hunters were attracted by Mike carrying the treasure, the noises of fleeing and fighting gradually faded away.

The remaining guards had also hidden themselves, refraining from chasing recklessly.

Suddenly, the manor, once a battleground, became incredibly quiet.

Fang Cheng used the radio to contact Black Wolf and the others, discussing the situation briefly.

As he turned back, he keenly noticed a hint of unrepressed excitement in the expressions of those around him.

It was a deliberately restrained excitement; although their mouths didn’t smile, the light in their eyes betrayed them.

Especially the mysterious man, who had always maintained an impassive face, now subtly revealed happiness.

Fang Cheng observed this and suddenly asked:

"Is the plan progressing smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, the Professor’s body slightly stiffened as if he was pulled back to reality, his eyes instantly regaining clarity.

He pretended to adjust his glasses — forgetting that he wasn’t wearing any — so he lightly coughed and replied calmly:

"Hmm, so far, things seem to be going smoothly."

As the two spoke, the wind intensified, causing their clothes to flap wildly.

The surroundings of the manor underwent a change without warning.

The once calm night sky seemed stirred by an invisible giant hand; dark clouds gathered swiftly, merging with the dense fog enveloping the manor, devouring the remaining moonlight entirely.

The ground began to tremble slightly, a deep rumbling echoed, resembling the roar of an ancient giant beast.

Fang Cheng, the Professor, and Li Dingjian’s faces suddenly changed. They exchanged looks, their eyes full of surprise and vigilance.
