Chapter 540: Chapter 483: Feeling a Bit Wronged…
Kevin Clark wore the same black combat suit as Charlotte Lane. Due to the lack of rest, the corners of his eyes were red and there were bloodstains on his neck.
There was a cut on the left sleeve of his clothes, as if it had been slashed by a knife.
He was wrapped in a murderous aura, looking like a demon that had just emerged from hell.
With every step, he took a life.
Charlotte Lane stopped when she saw him for an instant and then continued to fight, casting glances at Kevin Clark.
Her dog, Silver Palace, was around her – pouncing, biting, extremely ferocious, with much blood staining its white fur.
Kevin Clark quickly approached, and Allonzo Hobson and Thomas Firway followed, quickly dealing with the people around them.
“Little girl.”
Having taken care of the people around her, Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin Clark. Her eyes seem puzzled as she gazed for one moment.
She seemed a little unsure of what she was seeing and didn’t understand why Kevin Clark would be there.
She even wondered if she was experiencing a hallucination.
Kevin Clark immediately hugged her briefly, touching her head. Then he quickly let go, kissed her brow and asked, “What, don’t recognize me?”
Charlotte Lane looked at his face with her lips moving slightly, but she remained silent.
“It’s me. I’ll explain when we get back.” Kevin Clark looked at her body, her hands, and touched the red marks on her neck. “Where’s your gun?”
Charlotte Lane lowered her gaze, looking at Kevin Clark’s body, and replied, “No more bullets.”
Kevin Clark sensitively noticed that her voice was cold with a tinge of unnoticeable grievance.
“And the person I wanted to shoot is out of range.” Charlotte Lane’s voice became colder as if to hide that grievance, but it was still ineffective in Kevin Clark’s ears.
Everyone around her was engaged in close combat, and the gun was of no use. Furthermore, Alice Eugene was out of firing range, so having bullets wouldn’t matter anyway.
So, she opted not to grab anyone’s gun and wielded two daggers instead.
It allowed her to kill faster.
Seeing Charlotte Lane like this for the first time, Kevin Clark felt his heart soften. He immediately handed his gun to her, “Go, deal with her.”
Charlotte Lane caressed the gun in her hand and looked outside towards the reception room.
Alice Eugene had become hidden and was out of sight.
“Silver Palace, let’s go.”
Having shaken off a person from its feet, Silver Palace leaped towards the direction Charlotte Lane was looking at, leading the way.
Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon followed as well.
Outside the Platinum Burke Family’s residence, there were people from Dark Radiance and Hundred Demons Pavilion.
It wouldn’t be easy for Alice Eugene to leave.
However, she didn’t retreat outside but instead went towards the right side of the courtyard with her people after retreating to the courtyard.
As someone cleared the path for Charlotte Lane, she soon saw Alice Eugene.
Kevin Clark observed the situation, took the rifle from Yoshua Archer’s back, and then said to Charlotte Lane, “Rooftop.”
Charlotte Lane glanced at the nearby house and immediately understood Kevin Clark’s meaning.
The house had a natural barrier due to its corner, so once on the roof, they wouldn’t be targets. It was also a good place to aim from.
There was also a tree nearby.
Seeing that she understood, Kevin Clark held the rifle, sprinted, stepped on the tree, and used the momentum to climb onto the roof.
When he turned around to pull Charlotte Lane up, she had already followed right behind him and climbed up.
Kevin Clark silently retracted the hand he had reached.
Charlotte Lane crouched down, took the rifle, and aimed.
Alice Eugene was almost at the entrance of the room in the right courtyard.
Yoshua Archer and Edward Darkmoon were closing in on them too.
Charlotte Lane watched Alice through the scope, and just before she entered the room, she fired a shot, hitting her precisely in the back of her heart.
Kevin Clark looked at her resolute expression, showing no mercy. He really hated Alice to the core.
In an instant, Alice fell to the ground and was immediately helped up by the people around her, dragging her into the room.
Charlotte Lane used her gun to take out several more people around Alice before watching them drag Alice into the room and close the door.
Dark Radiance and the Hundred Demons Pavilion members had completely broken in, and the people outside were all under control.
Charlotte Lane followed the path cleared by Yoshua and Edward to the room that Alice entered.
Once inside, she found a secret room based on the trail of blood on the ground.
There was a large mural on the wall which could be pushed open manually.
Behind the pushed-open mural, there was a gap, and the material was like that of a safe. There were three mechanical password locks on the side.
This material would be difficult even to blast open.
And this lock couldn’t be hacked open using a computer. To unlock it, it would definitely take time.
“Big Boss…” Yoshua called out to Kevin Clark when he came over.
Charlotte Lane glanced at the situation and quickly walked out.
Kevin Clark said, “Have some people guard the surrounding area, expand the scope, be more careful, and find the exit. Edward, crack the passwords.”
Yoshua and Edward immediately responded, “Yes!”
Kevin Clark hurriedly followed Charlotte Lane.
Dark Radiance and the Hundred Demons Pavilion members had come in, and the fighting gradually stopped.
Charlotte Lane went to find Liam Davis and the Housemaster.
This was the Platinum Burke Family, and the secret room was right here, but these two had not managed to escape.
Because when Alice arrived, both of them felt they had someone to rely on.
But they didn’t expect that Alice wouldn’t have time to take care of them.
As soon as Alice reached the entrance of the reception room, Charlotte Lane asked James Cooper to deal with the two of them. So James Cooper and a Hall Master came out of the reception room and took care of them first.
The Housemaster seemed to have suffered severe injuries, barely able to speak coherently anymore.
Compared to him, Liam Davis was much better. Even though his face was bruised and his clothes were covered in footprints, he still seemed to be able to move around with some difficulty.
Charlotte Lane found them and looked at the Housemaster before turning to Liam Davis, asking, “What’s the password for the secret room?”
Liam Davis looked at her and chuckled before whispering hoarsely, “Daisy Zane, you want to know, don’t you? Well, I won’t tell you.”
The color in Charlotte Lane’s eyes deepened as she grabbed Liam Davis’s throat and pressed him down onto the ground.
Liam Davis’s breathing suddenly became difficult, his chest heaving and one leg constantly kicking the ground. His bloodshot eyes glared at Charlotte Lane.
Charlotte Lane squatted beside him, her hand gradually increasing the pressure, “The password, and where does it lead?”
“I, won’t, won’t say it.”
Kevin Clark was watching the Housemaster nearby, thinking that since he couldn’t speak clearly, he could try to have him write it down, but he found that the Housemaster’s mind wasn’t clear, which was why he couldn’t speak coherently.
This path wouldn’t work, so he looked at Charlotte Lane, “Little girl, spare some breath.”
Charlotte Lane let go of her hand.
Liam Davis lay on the ground as if he was dead, then after a few seconds, he suddenly took a deep breath like he had resurrected.
“Will you say it?” Charlotte Lane asked again.
Liam Davis took a moment to recover, then he laughed and said hoarsely, “I won’t say it even if I die! Hahaha! No one… should think… that they can get away with it! I won’t, won’t tell you.”
