Chapter 93: Haunted Villa

On the other end of the screen, Stefano's tone was very serious. He genuinely thought that the killer's fly bombs were quite interesting, moderate in power, but very innovative in terms of concealment.

Paige was shocked beyond measure. "It's impossible. My phone has an independent satellite connection. No one can break into it."

"Is Professor Howard not capable either?" Stefano said with a light laugh. "Let me tell you, he is the head of the research lab, and I learned my skills from him."

Paige couldn't believe her ears. It was as if she had seen a ghost. "Professor Howard passed away a long time ago. I even paid my respects!"

Professor Howard was a three-time winner of the world's top scientific award, and his achievements in the field of technology were historic, even considered the best in history. When news spread of his accidental death a few years ago, many countries lowered their flags to mourn. Stefano, who was as arrogant as he was, also went to pay his respects to Professor Howard with a pilgrimage mindset.

"I didn't lie to you. You only have one chance. I'll give you three seconds to decide, either join us or die." Stefano said, growing impatient. He didn't really value the other person, it was just a casual remark after all. After all, Paige was just a technician.

If it weren't for Professor Howard, North State wouldn't be so far ahead of enemy nations.

However, Paige didn't hesitate for even a second. She sneered, "Do you think I'm so easily fooled? Wait for me where you are. I will personally force you to tell me how you hacked into my phone."

"Is that so?" Stefano's expression turned cold. "Then you better make sure you stay alive to do that."

The phone screen went dark and lit up again, displaying the surveillance footage of the flies once more.

Understanding Stefano's skills, Paige knew she couldn't afford to be careless. She carefully observed the perspectives of a dozen flies, trying to see if there were any approaching enemies.

After studying the screen with caution for a while, she realized there was still no movement.

"This Stefano is really good at intimidating people! He asks me to work for him in order to stay alive? I bet he won't be so arrogant when I have a gun pointed at his head!" Paige's heart was filled with anger. She prepared to move forward again, but at that moment, she noticed the surveillance footage becoming blurry. It seemed like the fly surveillance was flying at high speed, but the strange thing was that she didn't input this command at all.

Where were they flying?

After carefully observing the situation, her expression suddenly changed. She looked up and saw a dozen tiny, translucent flies swiftly flying back towards her. What was even more terrifying was that the interface on her phone was no longer under her control. A familiar command was issued without her control.

A dozen flies simultaneously exploded; the corridor was engulfed in flames.

From that day on, the world lost a confident and talented Ph.D.

"What was that noise?" Agustin listened closely for a while and thought he heard an explosion. It was the first time he heard a sound since entering the villa.

With special training, he had excellent hearing. After careful differentiation, he confirmed that there was indeed an explosion.

"Paige said the materials in the villa have soundproofing properties. Yet, even in this environment, there's still a hint of an explosion. It must have been quite powerful. But it's terrifying that the villa didn't even shake." Agustin squinted his eyes as he walked, realizing that he needed to be more cautious.

As he turned the corner, a figure suddenly rushed towards him at high speed. He quickly dodged and threw a punch at the same time.

As a top assassin, Agustin possessed impressive skills. Even those so-called world boxing champions couldn't last more than three moves against him.

You want to ambush me? Go ahead and die!

With a punch, the air trembled with a resounding burst, displaying his formidable power.

However, to Agustin's surprise, he found his fist seemingly worthless in front of the approaching person. The opponent simply raised his palm and parried his fist, then extended two fingers like darting snakes, aimed straight at him.

This strike could shatter his throat!

Agustin despaired, never expecting the other person to be so strong that he didn't even have a chance to shoot.

When he closed his eyes, waiting for death, the other person suddenly stopped.

"Agustin?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Agustin opened his eyes and realized that it was Nolan standing in front of him.

"So, it was you. I wondered who was so formidable that I couldn't even defend against a single move. You scared me just now. You didn't even recognize me."

When it came to skills, Agustin had never seen anyone stronger than Nolan, not even someone half as skilled as him.

Of course, that didn't include the one he had seen in Dead Of Night, that wasn't a human at all, it was a god!

"Nolan, why did you attack me? You could have killed me." Agustin gasped.

"I didn't want to. It's just that this villa is so terrifying!" Nolan said with a dejected expression.

Agustin was startled. "What? Even a person with a gun wouldn't be able to handle you. Why do you find this place scary?"

Nolan lifted his head, and traces of fear could be seen on his face. "I saw someone in the villa, massacring assassins. He seemed quite skilled, so I fought him for a while, and we were evenly matched."

"What? So powerful?" Agustin couldn't fathom it. If he encountered this person first, what would the outcome be? "Was he Henry? Or is he the true owner of this villa?"

"No." Nolan said sadly, "After I fought him for a while, a dozen more people arrived, all dressed like him. It turned out that it was their uniform, he's just a low-level security personnel!"

"When the newly arrived people saw me, they charged at me like starving wolves. Each and every one of them was more skilled than me! If it weren't for a group of unlucky assassins passing by and blocking me from them for a moment, you probably wouldn't have seen me alive again. So, when I heard the commotion, I immediately attacked, fearing I wouldn't be able to handle them unless it was by surprise, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"This can't be." Agustin's legs felt weak as he listened. "Let's go, Nolan. We can't afford to provoke the people in this villa, even if you give me a hundred billion dollars!"

"What about the others?" Nolan, too, felt apprehensive. It would be one thing if there were only one or two, but with so many people, all with skills similar to his own, he was undoubtedly as good as dead.

"We can't worry about that now, let's just get out of the villa first."

Agustin turned to leave, but suddenly froze.

Not far behind them, a young man with a cold expression was slowly walking out of another room.

"He doesn't seem to be wearing a uniform!"

Agustin spoke in a trembling voice.

Nolan's expression also changed as he realized what this meant.

There was only one thing this could mean - this young man was not a regular security personnel.
