Chapter 1842: Dangers Lurking

Cloud spoke a few more words, considering it as his explanation. The

black-clothed individuals in the room nodded one after another, and

then Cloud waved his hand, "You can all leave now."

At this moment, the black-clothed individuals in the room began to

withdraw. Since Felix was standing at the far end and under the

pressure of Vicki's gaze, he wished he could be the first one to leave

the room. Just as he lifted his foot to take a step forward, he realized

that the departure of these black-clothed individuals was in a particular

order. It seemed to be based on their assigned numbers.

He couldn't discern at once whether they were leaving in descending

order or ascending order according to their numbers. But his foot had

already stepped forward and couldn't be taken back, causing him to

stagger a few steps before regaining his balance.

The loud noise caught Cloud's attention.

Cloud's fierce gaze scanned towards Felix, filled with deep questions

and curiosity.

"What's going on? No discipline,” Cloud reprimanded.

After his reprimand, Cloud walked straight towards Felix.

Felix hurriedly stood upright, keeping his head down. Worried that

Cloud would discover him, he tried to avoid making eye contact.

Cloud stopped half a meter away from Felix and scrutinized the black-

clothed individuals in front of him. A frown of dissatisfaction appeared

on his face. What time was it now? He couldn't believe he still had such

restless subordinates.

"Everyone else, step back. You, stay!" he shouted sternly.

Felix's expression tensed up, and he involuntarily glanced towards the

door. At this moment, if he were to provoke Cloud, and with Wu Hao not

by his side, he wouldn't necessarily be a match for Cloud in a fight.

After all, Cloud was a professional.

So he had to endure it until he had someone to help him deal with the

situation.

He lowered his head even further, looking at his own toes. Just as

Cloud took two more steps forward, almost reaching him face to face.

“You have quite the audacity, not lifting your head or answering," Cloud

was angry. "Raise your head.”

At this moment, Cloud's hand had already formed into a chopping

motion, ready to strike at any moment.

Felix knew he couldn't dodge it. He could only slowly raise his head. In

that moment, their eyes were about to meet.

Suddenly, Vicki, who was not far away, spoke up, "Rayan, come over

here, I have something to say to you."

Upon hearing Vicki's voice, Cloud immediately turned and walked

towards Vicki. It had been a long time since Vicki had spoken to him,

ever since the moment she held a pen and almost pierced his carotid

artery. He could sense her extreme anger, and he was afraid.

So when Vicki took the initiative to speak to him, he didn't care about

his suspicions or reprimanding his subordinates. He put everything

aside.

Cloud quickly reached out and held Vicki's arms. "Vicki, what do you

want to say to me?"

Felix had planned to take this opportunity to quickly slip out of the

room, but when he heard Cloud call out "Vicki," his feet were as if they

were made of lead, unable to move.

In the next moment, he saw Cloud embrace Vicki, the two of them

intimately ignoring everyone else. He was going mad with jealousy.

Cloud hugged Vicki tightly and said excitedly, “I was wrong before.

Don't ignore me. What do you want to say?"

“It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back to the room," Vicki's gaze

remained fixed on Felix. She squinted her eyes, her expression

becoming dangerous. Damn Felix, he thought she wouldn't recognize

him just because he showed only his eyes. Even if he turned into

ashes, she would still recognize him. Moreover, his distinctive electric

peach blossom eyes, if they were to meet Cloud's gaze, they would

surely be exposed.

Was he crazy? How many people did he bring? He even dared to

intrude into Cloud's territory alone. He was underestimating Cloud too

much. She couldn't relax at all.

Vicki had no certainty in her heart. She didn't push away Cloud and let

him embrace her. Only by doing so could she lower Cloud's guard.

Cloud quickly pulled Vicki towards the inner room.

Felix turned his head and saw that he was still standing there. Cloud

was displeased, "Useless fool, why are you still standing there? Next

time, I'll settle the score with you."

Felix clenched his fists behind his back, forcefully pinching his palm.

His eyes almost burned with fire, but he managed to control himself.

If he really wanted to save Vicki, he couldn't expose himself now.

Even though he was unwilling, he hadto leave the room. He watched

helplessly as Cloud embraced Vicki and they walked into the inner

room, closing the door behind them. He had no idea what they would

say or do inside.

He felt consumed by jealousy. It was just a hair's breadth away, and he

was about to rush in and separate them.

Stepping out of the room, Felix walked along the dark corridor.

Suddenly, someone grabbed him and pulled him into a hidden

passage.

Felix looked up and saw that it was Wu Hao, finally putting his mind at

ease.

"How did your investigation go?" Felix asked.

"Mr. Saunders, the situation is worse than we imagined. I encountered

at least eighteen black-clothed individuals just now,” Wu Hao replied.

Felix frowned, "There were twelve people in the meeting just now. That

means there are more than thirty of them in total, and we only have

eight people. Even if our people are skilled, not all of Cloud's

subordinates are useless. We don't have much chance of winning."

"There's only one way. Mr. Ball and his men need to infiltrate and

spread out in the corners. Move silently and take out a dozen of their

people first, then directly attack their stronghold,” Wu Hao suggested.

"Alright. You send a message to Mr. Ball now. The signal is weak, so

don't use voice, use text messages instead," Felix instructed. "And

don't wait for half an hour, let them come in now.”

"Okay." Wu Hao nodded lightly.

Then they hid in the deepest part of the passage, behind a large pillar.

Wu Hao began sending messages.

“It seems like I can't send it out. I need to change locations,” he said.

As his voice fell, Wu Hao moved to another pillar, but still couldn't send

the message.

"Mr. Saunders, wait here for me. I'll go a little closer to the entrance.

The signal is better there, I tried it before. Wait for me here. Once I'm

done with the message, we'll regroup,” Wu Hao suggested.

Felix made an okay gesture.

Afterward, Wu Hao crouched down and disappeared into the corridor.

Felix leaned against the pillar and slowly sat on the ground. He kept

replaying the scene of Vicki and Cloud embracing in his mind.

"Damn it," the more he thought about it, the angrier he became,

muttering curses under his breath.

Unbeknownst to him, his movements caught the attention of one of the

black-clothed individuals.

"Who's there?" the black-clothed person shouted warily, shining a

flashlight in Felix's direction.

Felix was startled and quickly retracted his foot, hiding behind the pillar.

It was a mess. He was too careless. It seemed that he had to knock out

this black-clothed person.

He held his breath and counted the footsteps of the black-clothed

person, which were getting closer and closer.

He slightly bent his body, prepared to launch an attack at any moment.
