I'm the King Of Technology

820 The Determined Mitchen

Marlo had a sullen face when he heard the news.

What was going on?

First, he went to Terique and was attacked.

Now that he came decided to hide out here, the place was now under attack as well.

Could it be the Temple?

Dammit!

This means that they had secretly chased him without his knowledge.

Was he getting so lax and comfortable that he didn't even notice them?

There was no way that he would believe it was a coincidence.

Everyone knew that this island was under the pirate organization.

So who else except the temple would dare to make such bold moves?

Marlo gripped his cup hard.

It appears that this time, they were ready to follow him to the end until he was dead.

"My lord.

I've prepared an ordinary pirate outfit for you."

"Hmhm.

Since they don't know our face, we can just blend in the rest and flee to the safe place."

"Hmhm.

Wearing masks will only draw their attention to us even more.

And it would be made suspicious since they already know that I always wear masks." Marlo said while dressing up swiftly.

He then roughed himself up and made his body look somewhat dirty.

"My lord!

We have to leave now!"

"Hm

Let's go!"

With that, the duo stepped out of the room and regrouped with 15 others on the same floor before heading towards the kitchen's back door.

They ran alongside several panicky pirates that kept pushing them as well.

"Let me through!

Let me through!"

"Move!

Get out of the way!"

At this point, no one cared about superiority or ranks.

And even if they found out that Marlo was powerful, so what?

They would still act the same way to save their behinds.

Marlo's men quickly took out their daggers and continuously stabbed all those in their way.

What a joke!

They too had an obligation to get Marlo out safely or else even if they survived, Marlo's brothers would still skin them alive.

Plus, they truly had absolute loyalty to their master and didn't want to see him die or crumble here.

They hastily led their master to safety, but when they were on the ground floor, they soon heard the sounds of ghastly screams all around them, which made them think that there might be thousands of knights out there ready for them.

Of course, they didn't know anything about how the fallen pirates had died.

Boom!

"Ahhhhhh!"

Pshh!

The moment they were about to step out of the building, a loud thunderous sound echoed out and a string force pushed them back into the building mysteriously.

They flew and knocked several other pirates down and some even died accidentally from someone else's sword stabbing them.

"Cough cough cough.

My lord, are you alright?"

Ratcliffe and the rest struggled to stand up, before rushing to pull Marlo out of the pit of pirates scattered around.

"My lord!

What was that?

Has the temple now hired a sorcerer to deal with us?"

Ratcliffe clenched his fists furiously.

"My lord, once we get back to the base, we have to inform the leader about this."

Marlo nodded coldly while forcing his numb legs to stand.

Some invisible force had literally shaken his entire core making him feel powerless for a short while.

"My lord, stepping out might be dangerous.

We will become a running target for the sorcerer out there!

So why don't we..."

"No Quincy," Marlo yelled in a deep voice.

"Stepping out is our only chance of survival because if we don't take advantage of the chaos and level, then we might never get such a rare opportunity again.

It's best for us to go into the secret hideout in the forest and stay there indefinitely.

At least there, we have a higher chance of getting food without getting caught.

Since the temple is bent on killing us, then they'll probably stay here until they find us no matter how long it took.

So stepping out is our only way forward.

And even if they do take us as live targets, we just need to safely leave the open space around the vase and get into the forest and we will be able to lose them.

They don't know the forest like we do.

So that's our chance!"

Even nodded and quickly surrounded Marlo.

Of course, they weren't stupid enough to be the first ones out, so they began rallying the pirates like idiots and sent them out to be their 'Guinea pigs'.

"They're right!

If we don't go now, then we'll just be sitting here, waiting for death."

"No!

How can I die without a fight?

Wouldn't by reputation be tarnished?"

"But the enemy has a sorcerer, so how can we get that?"

"Bro, can't you see the situation?

They only have a handful of sorcerers but we're many in number.

So if we rush towards them, then wouldn't they be powerless to fight all of us at the same time?

It's time we show these arrogant baffoons that we, the Stone-Chest pirates aren't one to mess with."

"Yeah!

Let's show them who's boss!"

"Charge!!!!"

Instantly, the group ran towards the exit in both fear and determination.

Forget about the fact that they had been preaching about revenge for their pirate crew.

Each and every one of them just had one thought in mind, and that was to flee into the forest.

"Charge!!!"

They lean towards the exit determinedly and this time, there wasn't any sudden force pulling them back.

Was this it?

Had they succeeded?

They felt like they had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

(:T□T:)

Success.

Bang!

Puff!

They dropped to the floor in pain and unwillingness.

Damn you!

Couldn't you at least let them dream?

'Catchack!'

Mitchen refilled his cartridge and continued shooting those leaving the building, a little distance away from the door so that those inside wouldn't know that their comrades had fallen.

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang

The bullets actively avoided any fatal body parts since they were still trying to locate the target.

"Sanders!

Escapees at 3 O'clock."

"Yes sir!"

"Gail!

Window operation, get on it!"

"Spiro!

7 O'clock.

Take care of it."

"On it sir, but first, I think I've spotted the target."

Mitchen's eyes opened excitedly and he quickly glanced towards the direction shown to him.
