Chapter 1403: A Mad Man
Their hearts pounded as they stared at the door now sealed shut, realizing how much trouble they’d have been in if they hadn’t made it out in time. Serena’s face turned ashen, but Lory and the others had already begun to collect themselves barely affected by what happened.
"Cover your face—especially you, Lory," Stephan warned as he pulled a black mask over his own, leaving nothing identifiable, not even for the most advanced facial recognition systems.
Lory didn’t need an explanation to grasp the gravity of their situation. Without a word, she summoned a full-face mask, then place on her face to conceal her identity completely. Fargo followed suit a moment later.
They all knew the stakes—if word got out that the Archknights of Harlands had infiltrated the private headquarters of the world’s most respected organization, it would spark a global uproar.
They heard the thunder of numerous boots storming toward them. Serena gulped anxiously, while the others remained calm, each doing a quick stretch to loosen up.
"You guys ready?" Stephan asked, far too calmly for the chaos about to unfold.
"I was born ready!" Fargo declared, flashing a wide grin like he was about to walk a red carpet instead of into danger.
Stephan blinked at him, his voice dripping with disgust. "...You’re not even a little embarrassed saying that?"
"No way," Fargo replied, unbothered. "I say it proudly."
Lory rolled her eyes at fargo shenanigans. Lory then stepped beside serena then putting her hand convincingly on Serena’s shoulder. "Don’t worry, I will keep you safe"
Stephan nodded, then turned to Fargo. "I go left, you go right."
