Under the incredulous gaze of everyone at the car wash, the silver-haired boy quickly raised his left hand, where he wore a silver bracelet that resembled a hand guard. A spark immediately ignited on it, clearly indicating that the rifle bullet had been stopped by the silver bracelet!
“How is this possible…” Edek continued to pull the trigger in horror.
hope Nian did not stop moving forward. During this process, his left hand swung rapidly from side to side, leaving afterimages that surpassed human dynamic vision. As two or three sparks ignited on the silver bracelet, shattered bullet fragments fell to the ground beside him.
Before Edek could fire again.
Xinian had already come close to Edek, and with his right hand he grabbed the hot rifle barrel. With the force of his fingers and wrist, the metal barrel immediately bent and broke into an S-shape!
Edek turned pale with fright and fell backward onto the ground.
"Do you understand? The weapons in your hands pose no threat to me." The demigod hope Nian threw away the gun, which he had crumpled into a lump of scrap metal, and said to the pale-faced members around him, "Now, can we sit down and have a proper talk?"
……
Ten minutes later.
Late at night, the parked cars in the car wash area had been moved to another location, leaving a large open space with twenty or thirty benches.
At this moment, Lorna's subordinates, regardless of gender, even the most burly and fierce men, are sitting obediently on stools, like primary school students receiving education.
They are ahead.
Xinian, now wearing high-top canvas shoes, stood there. It must be said, the method used by the Ancient One was quite effective.
No amount of explanation can replace letting them try it themselves.
When they realize that their weapons and equipment pose no threat to the person in front of them, and that the person in front of them can easily eliminate them, they can smoothly enter the stage of conversation.
Yes, this is definitely not a threat.
"So you were one of us too, why didn't you say so sooner..." Edek, the green-haired youth sitting at the front, breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.
"Let me correct you, I'm not one of you."
hope Nian shrugged: "I'm only on Lorna's side. Your lives and deaths are none of my business. Also, anyone who dares to hurt Lorna will suffer the same fate as the intruders just now."
Under the gaze of Xinian's radiant eyes, no one dared to meet his eyes, and some lowered their heads somewhat guiltily.
hope Nian's special move just now was for—
Deterrence!
Let them know that there are other extraordinary individuals hiding behind Lorna.
In this way, even if Lorna encounters a situation like today again and wants to take action against her, she will have to be wary of Xinian's current demigod mode.
hope Nian asked bluntly, "You all saw it just now. The intruder's target was Lorna, and the person behind him was named Killian. Does anyone know someone named Killian?"
"Killian?" Upon hearing this name, many people on the field showed a change in expression.
Edk blurted out in a fit of emotion, "Killian! It was that damned bastard! He actually dared to lay a hand on Boss Lorna!"
"You know him?" hope Nian asked.
Eddrick nodded quickly and said, "That guy contacted Boss Lorna three months ago, apparently for some kind of experimental research. I don't know the specifics of what they discussed, but I remember that the boss and he didn't reach an agreement on any cooperation that time."
hope Nian narrowed his eyes and continued, "Do you know where he is?"
Edek responded helplessly, "All I know is that he comes from a biotech company in Los Angeles, and that's all I know."
"Los Angeles..." hope Nian hesitated for a moment, then casually asked, "Has anything significant happened in Los Angeles recently?"
"A major event? There really is!" Edek exclaimed. He got up and ran to a car outside, quickly retrieved a newspaper, and handed it to Xinian.
It's today's New York Evening Post.
hope Nian glanced at the date on the newspaper, flipped through it a few times, and then his gaze fell on the prominent second page.
"This morning, a terrorist organization claiming to be a Jewish leader hacked into a local radio and television station in Los Angeles and used the station to broadcast a threatening video about murder—this heinous incident has caused widespread panic in Los Angeles, and the U.S. cabinet has stated that it has deployed war machines to deal with the situation..."
"That afternoon, Tony Stark's personal driver, Mr. Happy, was attacked by a suicide bomber in Los Angeles and is in critical condition. He has been taken to Los Angeles First Hospital for treatment. It's like a challenge sent to Iron Man by terrorists!"
"Tony Stark publicly declared war on Jewish terrorist organizations outside the hospital and, in his Iron Man persona, gave detailed information about the address of his beachfront villa in Los Angeles in front of numerous media reporters!"
……
In less than two or three seconds, the demigod Xi Nian finished reading the information published in the newspaper. He immediately recognized the scene of the human bombing in the newspaper as being almost identical to the scene caused by the bald man's self-destruction.
Obviously.
The forces that launched the raid on Lorna tonight are the same forces that instigated the terrorist attacks in Los Angeles.
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the demigod-like Xinian. He could ignore the other party's provocation of Iron Man, but to simultaneously attack Lorna…
Are they tired of living?
Chapter 126, One Night
well.
Now that we know who was behind the attack on Lorna and that they have ties to a terrorist organization, things become much simpler...
However, before dealing with that matter.
Xinian glanced at the twenty-odd members on the field and suddenly said, "Which of you has secretly sided with Killian? Step forward."
Upon hearing this, everyone inside the car wash was stunned.
Edek took a deep breath and said gravely, "You mean, there's a traitor among us?"
hope Nian nodded.
He didn't believe that the bald man could enter the car wash and directly break into Lorna's room without inside help.
Moreover.
If Lorna's body is healthy, then even if the bald man has abilities such as self-healing, high-temperature control, and self-destruction, he would never be able to harm Lorna.
Therefore, the faction's choice to launch a sneak attack at this time indirectly confirms that they received a sliver of information from within. Knowing that Lorna's physical condition might not be good, they sent a subordinate to test her.
Who is the traitor?
"No way……"
The people on the field looked at each other, and for a moment everyone seemed like a traitor, and everyone was wary.
In this situation, even checking the phone or surveillance footage might not be enough to identify the traitor.
"You don't need to guess anymore. I can easily tell who the traitor is." The demigod Xinian waved his hand, and a golden light emerged from the air, soaring and extending like a small dragon, landing first on Edek.
"Are you a traitor?" hope Nian asked him.
“No,” Edek answered simply.
“Then you are not.” hope Nian nodded slightly and continued to put the Lasso of Truth on the other person next to him.
Thus, the question-and-answer session began.
Are you a traitor?
"No."
Are you a traitor?
"No, no!"
……
This scene looked somewhat comical and bizarre.
After all, would that traitor simply admit to being a mole?
But when the lasso of truth fell on a woman, hope Nian continued to mechanically and uniformly ask, "Are you a traitor?"
Bound by ropes that shimmered with golden light, a glint of divine light flashed in the woman's eyes as she answered, "I am."
"!!!" Everyone on the field was stunned.
Does this work?
Bound by the Lasso of Truth, one cannot lie; this is the most unsolvable aspect of this artifact!
"Do you have any accomplices? Who are they?" hope Nian continued to ask.
“They had two accomplices, who were also the first to defect to Killian. Their names were: Dud Samuel and Maren Jeremy…”
Before the woman could finish speaking...
On the field.
The two burly men sitting in the back row changed their expressions drastically, stood up from their stools in terror, and quickly fled towards the main entrance of the car wash!
Before the two could escape from the car wash, a golden lasso flashed through the air like lightning, wrapping around them and binding them together.
With a gentle tug, Xinian, holding the other end of the Mantra Lasso, sent the two burly adults flying backward.
With one hand holding the rope, hope Nian suspended the two bound adult men in the air, looked down at them and asked, "Tell me, why does Killian want to kill Lorna?"
Among the two burly adults was a familiar face, the same thug who had chased Pete last time.
"I don't know, he didn't tell me," the thug replied, his eyes filled with confusion.
Another burly man spoke up: "Killian believes that Lorna possesses a very peculiar mutant gene. So last time, he wanted to collaborate with her, asking her to provide her blood for his human experimentation research. But Lorna refused. Later, Killian secretly contacted us, planning to eliminate Lorna from within and send her body over when the opportunity arises..."
Hearing him say this...
Edek finally couldn't hold back anymore. His eyes were bloodshot and blazing with anger. He punched the burly man hard in the face, knocking out several teeth!
Some of the other members also revealed a fierce look in their eyes; traitors were definitely one of the things they hated most.
"These three traitors are yours to deal with." hope Nian put away the Lasso of Truth, threw down the words, and walked towards the escalator upstairs.
Behind him, painful wails continued to echo.
Xinian ignored the situation at the car wash and quickly returned to a dark room. Xiao Huang meowed and jumped forward, landing swiftly and lightly on his shoulder.
"Well done, you'll get a can of fish as a reward when we get back." hope Nian praised, then his gaze fell on the bed, where the green-haired girl lying on it opened her eyes at just the right moment.
"How are you feeling?" hope asked softly.
Lorna responded obediently, "My head isn't dizzy anymore, and I'm not hot anymore, but I just don't have much energy."
"You just need to rest for a day or two." hope Nian sat down by the bed and said, "Just now outside..."
“I’ve already heard it,” Lorna said. “I didn’t expect there to be three traitors.”
