Chapter 1845 - Friend Or Foe

Chapter 1845 - Friend or Foe

Cloud's face instantly darkened. "Felix? It's you! Vicki, you deceived

me!"

No wonder he found it strange. Vicki had always been hostile towards

him lately, so why did she suddenly change her tune? It was all a false

hope. It suddenly dawned on him that during the meeting, the

suspicious black-clad person he suspected must have been Felix in

disguise. Vicki recognized him before he did, which was why she called

out to him. No wonder!

With these thoughts, Cloud became furious. He abruptly pulled out a

remote control from his waist. As he pressed the button, electric

currents surged through the electronic locks on Vicki's wrists and

ankles, rendering her immobile in an instant.

“Damn it!" Vicki cursed under her breath. How could she forget that she

was still under Cloud's control?

As she felt her limbs go out of control and her balance faltering, she

was about to fall to the ground. At that moment, Felix reached out his

hand, and she naturally fell into his embrace.

Felix whispered into Vicki's ear, "Don't worry, I have a way to disable

the electronic devices.”

With that, he quietly reached into his pocket, gripping a metal rod and

flipping the switch.

Then, he signaled Vicki with a glance.

Vicki subtly moved her wrists and ankles, and indeed, all the electronic

locks malfunctioned. However, Cloud was unaware of this.

So, Vicki subtly winked at Felix, indicating that it was okay for now and

that they shouldn't make any rash moves.

Cloud, seeing Vicki in Felix's arms, was almost consumed by jealousy.

How could he bear to see his beloved woman with another man?

"Vicki, I won't let go. Originally, for the sake of your face, I didn't want to

kill Felix. But you forced me. Only after he dies will you give up,” Cloud

stepped closer, one step at a time. “Now, you can't move. You're well

aware that Felix is no match for me. I want you to witness how I kill him.

Don't blame me in the future; I gave him several chances to escape. It's

his own fault for not cherishing them."

Felix lazily scanned Cloud and shrugged his shoulders. "Do you really

think I came alone?"

Cloud sneered, "It doesn't matter. I'll deal with you first. Then, I'll take

Vicki and retreat from here. Didn't you hear it just now? I was originally

planning to abandon this base. Felix, today is your day of death!"

Felix nonchalantly replied, "If you have the guts, come at me. Stop the

nonsense.”

"Bring it on!" Cloud drew a dagger and lunged directly at Felix. To avoid

harming Vicki, he chose to attack Felix's left side.

But Felix instinctively protected Vicki with his body and searched for a

countermeasure.

Just as Cloud's dagger was about to strike Felix, Vicki suddenly

launched an unexpected attack from the right, sweeping her leg and

kicking the dagger out of Cloud's hand.

With a clang, the sharp metallic sound echoed against the wall before it

fell to the ground.

Cloud looked at Vicki in astonishment. "The electronic locks

malfunctioned? How is that possible?"

He glared at Felix, demanding, "What method did you use? What kind

of high-tech gadget is that?"

Felix twirled the metal rod in his hand in a cool manner before putting it

back into his pocket. "Why should I tell you?"

Cloud immediately realized, "Apart from an electromagnetic pulse, no

technology can achieve this. The warlord actually has a miniaturized

version. It's truly unexpected. No wonder everyone is fighting over it. It

lives up to its reputation.”

Felix shrugged. "Even if I gave it to you, without the blueprints, you

wouldn't be able to replicate it. Instead of wasting time being envious,

you should have your people focus on researching technology and

avoid engaging in petty thievery and robbery. What's the use of relying

on stealing and looting?"

“You bastard!" Cloud, infuriated, threw a punch at Felix.

Felix sidestepped, evading the attack. In terms of actual combat, he

was certainly not as experienced as Cloud, but he still had his skills.

And today, he wasn't alone.

Cloud threw two more punches and swept his leg, kicking towards

Felix.

Felix managed to fend off two blows, and when he couldn't dodge the

next attack, Vicki suddenly intervened, blocking Cloud's potentially fatal

kick.

"Do you insist on being my enemy?" Cloud's eyes turned red as he

angrily shouted.

Vicki quickly struck, repeatedly attacking Cloud with her elbows, each

blow filled with anger.

"I said, the last time was the only time I let you hurt him. From now on,

if you dare to lay a fingeron him, I will take your life," Vicki asserted.

Cloud, hit by Vicki's rapid assault, felt a sharp pain in his abdomen,

causing him to double over.

The pain wasn't just physical; it was the agony of seeing Vicki and Felix

working together, tormenting his heart like hellfire.

Felix also joined the fight, ensuring that Vicki wouldn't be attacked. He

defended her against unavoidable strikes.

The sight of them protecting each other intensified Cloud's rage.

As the battle grew more intense, a commotion suddenly erupted behind

them. More people rushed in, all dressed in black.

Cloud, realizing something was amiss, couldn't understand where so

many people came from. They didn't seem to be his people.

Clearly, there were two opposing groups, fighting each other but

heading in their direction. The situation was much more chaotic than

expected.

Vicki stared blankly at Felix, coming to his side. She lowered her voice

and asked, "You said there were only eight of them in total.”

Felix was equally astonished; he looked around but didn't see Mr. Ball,

nor did he spot Wu Hao.

"No, these aren't my people,” he replied.

Vicki became more perplexed. "Then who could they be? Friend or

foe?"

Felix shook his head. He didn't know either. He shielded Vicki with his

arm and said, "The situation isn't good. If something happens later, you

go first, and I'll stay behind.”

Vicki glared at him. "What can you do by staying behind?"

Felix replied, "..."

He felt ignored. This woman wasn't listening to him at all. He felt the

need to reestablish his authority when he returned home.

More and more black-clad individuals poured in, and Cloud grabbed

one of his own men, sternly questioning, "What's going on? Who are

these people?"

"Boss, I don't know! They suddenly rushed in. We're having a hard time

holding them back. Otherwise, boss, you should retreat first; we can

still hold them off for a while," the black-clad man replied.

"Their target is who?" Cloud felt that something was very wrong. It

seemed like a third party force. Based on Felix's expression, it was

evident that they weren't Felix's people or his people. They had never

encountered this force before.

"Their target is a woman, probably Vicki," the black-clad man

answered, then quickly turned around to deal with the unexpected

attacks.

"Damn it!" Cloud cursed. Besides himself, someone was targeting

Vicki. Who could it be?
