Chapter 377 Vengeance For My Brother

Trenton realized that he had walked into a trap, but it was too late. When he and his men turned to

return to the research site, they found the entrance abruptly locked. Worst of all, their electronic

devices, even their torches, were affected by magnetic disturbance. They were engulfed in pitch

blackness, and the stones all around them kept shifting. Every so often Trenton would also hear the

chilling screams of his men as they were crushed by the shifting stones or wounded by the concealed

weapons.

Trenton shoved Cameron, who was shielding him, aside and made his way to where Mackenzie had

been lying down, only to find that she was no longer there.

“Trenton, let’s get out of here first.” Cameron, too, began to feel uneasy in the crushing gloom.

“Blow that door wide open right now!” Trenton ordered. He knew that Thomas and Colton were still

inside the site, knowing that it was them who closed the door.

Relying on his memories, Cameron approached the door cautiously with some dynamite in his hand.

Putting the fuse in position, he was ready to blast the door off its hinges.

“Find something to light up the room then search for Xander. He must’ve left some blood traces after

getting hurt.” Trenton gave his orders methodically.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie and Xander were hiding behind a boulder and were quietly watching Trenton

and his men from a distance. The stone sentinel maze was created by Mackenzie with the intention to

fool others. Although they managed to escape by taking advantage of the mechanism, they had to take

cover for now as Xander was seriously injured and they could be caught by Trenton’s men who might

be guarding outside.

Before long, Trenton’s men found some paper and cloth to light up the passage, whereas Cameron

finished planting the dynamite and with a big blast, he managed to blow up a hole on the site’s door.

However, there was another layer of door beyond the one he blew apart and it looked extremely sturdy

to be blown up.

“Light it up,” Trenton commanded sternly.

Cameron, on the other hand, felt that the underground passage would collapse after another explosion,

but Trenton’s expression made him hesitate. He had no choice but to grab another bundle of dynamites

to blast open the door.

Xander pulled himself together and said, “Mackenzie, make a run for it when I walk out of here.

Remember the foxhole in the garden? Crawl out of there and find your Grandmaster.”

“No! You’re going to die if you go out now!” Mackenzie squealed and clung tightly onto Xander’s hand.

Xander smiled and replied, “Mackenzie, run as fast as you can, okay? Find your Grandmaster for help.”

Mackenzie kept shaking her head. She knew that Xander was lying to her and Trenton would surely kill

him if he went out of their hiding spot.

Suddenly, there was another blast and the entrance to the research site opened. Mackenzie felt her

heart drop and she soon heard the sound of heavy gunfire.

“Now! Run for it!” Xander pushed Mackenzie aside before hobbling out from the boulder. His

determination allowed him to continue walking despite the pain in his wounded leg.

“Tristan Kent! How dare you have the nerve to pick on these kids!” Xander pointed the gun at Trenton

while he had his back toward him. However, before he could pull the trigger, Trenton quickly dodged

and pointed his gun toward Xander.

“Godfather!” Mackenzie approached Xander in an attempt to pull him away, but Xander frowned at her,

urging her to back off. As she hesitated, Xander stumbled a few steps back as if he was getting pulled

by someone else.

“Trenton, seems like you’ve met your doom.” Madeline was standing at the door. The moment

Cameron blew open the door, Madeline was the one that started the gunfire, while Thomas and Colton

had escaped through a secret passage with Madeline’s help.

“You owe me one, beautiful.” Suddenly, Lone Wolf dragged Xander back to Mackenzie’s side before

undoing the Gold Threads on him.

Mackenzie’s face beamed when she saw Madeline. Mommy’s here! Everything’s fine now!

“Godfather, mommy’s here to save us!” As Mackenzie turned to tell Xander, to her surprise, Xander had

fainted after knocking his head on a stone in the midst of getting dragged by Lone Wolf.

“Mommy, godfather’s passed out!” Mackenzie immediately cried out.

Meanwhile, Madeline glared coldly at Trenton as she said to Lone Wolf, “Let’s finish this up quickly and

any of your demands will be met.”

“Sounds good,” Lone Wolf hummed as the Gold Threads slithered around Trenton’s throat, in which

Trenton quickly took out a dagger to sever the Gold Threads. He turned around to glare at Lone Wolf

and growled, “Lone Wolf, you treachery scoundrel. You’ve been banned from the trade. How dare you

still take on requests?”

“A treachery scoundrel? Well then, let me remind you about honor!” Lone Wolf shouted as he attacked

Trenton’s men. His moves were effortless yet precise, as if he was cutting up some fruits. With

Madeline’s help, Trenton immediately suffered a huge loss of manpower. In the midst of chaos, Trenton

tried to grab Mackenzie as hostage but was immediately blocked by Madeline as she had predicted it

beforehand.

“Lone Wolf, I accept the conditions you mentioned earlier on. Grab that Mackenzie kid for me, would

ya? I’ll even give you a bonus for that,” Trenton shouted.

“Oh no, what a pity! Unfortunately, I’m in the mood to get payback for my brother today!” Lone Wolf

smiled wickedly. He then threw a bluff by switching his stance to withdraw his gun. Trenton was not

prepared to dodge the bullet but Cameron dashed forward and blocked the shot, which resulted in the

bullet scraping his arm instead of striking Trenton in the chest. A close shot indeed.

“Your brother was captured by Noah! You should seek your revenge from him instead!” Trenton yelled

back in distress while pushing Cameron to the side. Trenton tried to shoot Lone Wolf back but Lone

Wolf easily dodged his bullets with his great agility.

“You didn’t want to give me the medicine that you promised, so you tried to frame Noah and killed my

brother. You brought this fight to yourself!”

“Cut the crap! Let’s seize him first!” Madeline exclaimed impatiently after seeing Lone Wolf and Trenton

exchanging words, with both sides hesitating to kill. Worse yet, she was worried about Xander’s

condition.

“Calm down, lady. After all, great haste makes great waste,” Lone Wolf replied as he started to move

quicker. Despite that, Trenton would not go down without a fight and his strength was even

considerably better than that of Lone Wolf.

“Mommy, I don’t think godfather’s doing well!” Mackenzie exclaimed. While the others were busy

fighting, Mackenzie was checking Xander’s wounds and realized that there was a deep cut wound

around his abdomen. This wound was also the primary reason for his blood loss.

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. She had no choice but to abandon Lone Wolf and

pick Xander up to flee from the scene.
