Chapter 2568: Chapter 2573

The guards stationed at the side entrance had been swiftly dealt with, allowing the group to infiltrate the Green Gang’s stronghold with ease.

As darkness enveloped the area, the massive edifice of the stronghold stood ominously against the whistling wind, resembling a sinister beast glaring down at the intruders.

“Mrs.

Hughes, Mr.

Robles, this route leads to the underground laboratory.

Should we take this path?” Galen asked.

The primary objective of the police operation, aside from apprehending Leon, was the safe extraction of the hostages.

They suspected that Brian was likely being held in the lab.

“Okay,” Rosalynn responded.

The group pressed on toward the laboratory.

After about ten minutes, they approached a location just shy of the lab’s entrance when the sudden burst of gunshots shattered the silence.

Galen’s expression hardened.

“Oh no.

Arthur’s men must have been discovered,” he muttered under his breath.

Sanford and Rosalynn exchanged a quick, apprehensive glance, instantly heightening their vigilance.

It was expected that Arthur’s men would be discovered.

If they weren’t, it would imply that Leon was not vigilant enough against his enemies.

In that case, Arthur would have eliminated Leon and his gang long ago without much resistance.

In the enveloping darkness, the shadows revealed two groups engaged in a fierce fight.

It appeared that Arthur’s men were attempting to storm the lab but had met stiff resistance.

Sanford pulled Rosalynn to a concealed corner for cover.

Taking a moment to assess the situation, Rosalynn said decisively, “Galen, please help divert the Green Gang members while Sanford and I, along with a few bodyguards, try to enter the lab and find Brian.

”

“Got it,” Galen responded, his tone resolute.

He then directed his men into the fight.

As gunshots continued to ring out and bodies thudded to the ground, chaos unfolded as Leon’s men began to flee in disarray.

Seizing the opportunity, Sanford urged, “Let’s go, Rosalynn.

”

“Okay.

”

The bodyguards took the lead, guiding Rosalynn and Sanford to a nondescript wall.

Relying on earlier gathered clues, Sanford activated a hidden mechanism.

With a quiet click, the lab door slid open.

Inside, the darkness was oppressive, with only faintly visible steps leading downward, disappearing into the abyss.
