Chapter 047 Ten Minutes

"The fish is in the net."

The short-haired girl with keen senses whispered to the silver-haired middle-aged man.

The silver-haired middle-aged man nodded and made a gesture, and the short-haired girl left, passed through the silent barrier at the back, and found the young woman with black hair and brown eyes from among the prisoners who were watching the "negotiation drama".

The black-haired woman saw her waving and immediately jumped out of the crowd, put her arm around her shoulders, and said with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

"Your team and Styles go support Mizuha team." said the short-haired girl.

"No problem." The black-haired woman agreed readily, turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Ambush team, Stel, come with me to help the Water Wave Team!" Immediately, several women came out of the crowd. Stel, who had been invisible, silently appeared for a moment to show that she was there, and then disappeared again.

The silver-haired middle-aged man ignored their specific actions and looked at Freya who was still negotiating.

I have to say that Froya's acting skills are superb. She portrayed a somewhat tired but unyielding look after being persecuted. Her expression during the negotiations also revealed that she was enduring humiliation and conducting the negotiations for the sake of Elisa.

An impeccable performance.

"Five million per person is a bit too much. I'm just a supervisor and don't have the right to use such a large amount of funds. Can I contact Adrian and then confirm this condition?" Ali Werner's voice came from the loudspeaker.

Froya looked behind the camera, as if receiving instructions from someone, and said in a hoarse voice: "They don't accept delays, they want you to give an answer immediately."

As soon as the words fell, the rope hanging on the chandelier suddenly became longer, and the unconscious Elisa and the awake Froya fell down towards the metal spikes at the same time -!

Seeing this, Ali Werner could no longer care about anything else. He couldn't just watch someone die in front of him, so he shouted anxiously, "Okay! I promise! I promise!"

As he agreed, the rope stopped extending, the two men fell in the air, the rope slowly retracted, and the two men gradually returned to their original height.

Everyone inside and outside the screen breathed a sigh of relief. Froya, who was hanging on the rope, breathed a sigh of relief visibly and glanced at Eliza.

At this time, due to the brief weightlessness, the unconscious Eliza began to wake up in the eyes of everyone.

She slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the scene in front of her in a daze - below, metal spikes were sticking out from the red armchair towards her, shining brightly; behind the mounted cameras, dozens of people were watching this side from behind a barrier with an expression that was obviously like they were watching a show.

She looked at her body. She was tied up with ropes, and the other end was wrapped around the chandelier and around Freya.

Oops. These two words popped up in everyone's mind.

As soon as the intruder spoke to Ali Werner, it would be obvious that something was wrong.

A woman walked out from behind the silent barrier and gestured, "I'll go knock her out."

The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head and stopped her.

"Your Highness Eliza!" Ali Werner also saw Eliza waking up through the camera, and was overjoyed. He shouted in a somewhat inappropriate tone, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

If Eliza's invasion was discovered, the situation would be disadvantageous to them. There was no doubt about that. Everyone's eyes were fixed on "Eliza", waiting for her answer.

Elisa glanced coldly at the people below her. She ignored Ali Werner's greetings and the prisoner who had tied her up. She turned her head to look at Floydah beside her and said, "Can you still hold on?"

Looking at "Elisa" who treated her as nothing, Freya was a little stunned. At this moment, even she who knew the truth would think that it was really Elisa herself who was here.

Why are they suddenly behaving like this?

"Of course, Your Highness. How about you?"

Outside the camera, the hidden vigilance and suspicion in Ali Werner's heart also dissipated. It was indeed Elisa. In this situation, who else could be so calm, arrogant, indifferent, and high-handed except Elisa Wolf Werner?

"Your Highness, I will definitely save you! Don't worry!" Ali Werner declared his loyalty.

Although he is also a member of the Werner family and a relative of Adrian Werner, his position in the group is actually a bit awkward. After all, the Werner Group is so large that there are many people from the family who want to work in the group. He is not particularly capable and is just taking advantage of a higher seniority.

If he could save Eliza, it would be of great help in improving his status.

"It's so noisy." "Elisa" glanced coldly in the direction of the lens, but her gaze that swept across the lens and looked behind the lens made people feel that she was speaking indirectly, not to Ali Werner, so Ali Werner did not feel embarrassed.

"As a prisoner, she is still so presumptuous. She is worthy of being the princess." Seeing that the situation was under control, the silver-haired middle-aged man intervened at the right time and spoke out. She walked from behind the camera to the front of the camera, occupying most of the camera screen.

Her eyes, as deep as the blue ocean, seemed to be gazing at the person behind the screen from a distance, revealing an awe-inspiring ancient aura; the lines on her face seemed like a gift left by time, but they had not caused her to lose any of her energy and spirit.

Seeing this notorious peer, Ali Werner couldn't help swallowing his saliva and felt ashamed. He couldn't help but look around and found that others had the same expression, so he pretended nothing had happened.

"I know you want to delay time." The silver-haired middle-aged man said, "So I will only give you ten minutes to prepare. At least five million yuan per person, proof of identity, and freedom."

"Otherwise, Werner's headquarters will be blown up into the sky and become the most brilliant scenery in Werner City."

How is it possible!? The Werner Group has tight security, where did the prisoners get the "explosives"? Although they are strong, if it weren't for Her Highness Eliza, they would have been killed by weapons of mass destruction...

He wanted to flatly deny it and laugh at her, but looking at her calm expression, he suddenly became unsure.

"See you in ten minutes, then."

The picture disappeared and turned dark, leaving the people in the monitoring room looking at each other in bewilderment.

After thinking for a moment, Ali Werner asked, "Where are the guards?"

The surveillance personnel zoomed in on the second group of guards, who were now moving carefully in the ventilation duct.

While everyone else was paying attention to Freya, a surveillance officer was watching the entire process of the guard team. She explained, "They reached the cage area according to the blueprint. They should have been able to reach the arena directly, but there seems to be a trap for prisoners here, a blocked space. They are trapped in this space and are moving quietly, trying to find a way out without alerting the owner of the space."

Ali Werner frowned slightly, "Is it possible that we have already entered the trap and have not been discovered by the other party?"

"Yes." As a monitoring officer, it is also one of their jobs to understand most of the superhumans. "Among the prisoners, there is a superhuman whose ability fits this description, 'Interlayer Space' Evelyn. She can create an independent space, but if the space is too large, she will not be able to take care of it all and the prey will escape. If Evelyn's space covers the entire cage area, then they have a chance to escape without being discovered."

"...How are they supposed to escape without being discovered?" Ali Werner is an ordinary person who does not understand the subtleties of various abilities, nor does he know what abilities his subordinates have.

"One of the team members has the ability to open doors. Through the doors she opens, one can escape without being discovered by the owner of the space." The monitoring officer knew that he did not care about the person's specific name, so he hid the name and spoke simply and directly.

"They are moving now to avoid opening the door under the eyes of the prisoners. After all, they are in the arena. According to the blueprint, the restroom in the nearby VIP lounge is a good location, and they are moving there."

"There won't be many people in the bathroom, and let..."

The guards in the picture stopped, and Ali Werner was too impatient to listen to the words that made him feel mediocre and useless, so he interrupted the surveillance personnel and looked at the picture intently.

——If the guard can succeed, he doesn't have to care about the conditions demanded by the prisoners!

As for the failure of the guard...he was unwilling to think about the consequences.

Evelyn's space was very dark, with only a faint light from the equipment on the guards illuminating the screen. A team member put his hand on the ground, and a small door the size of a palm quietly opened. The thumb-sized teammate on her shoulder jumped through the small door. After a moment, a beam of light came up, indicating safety.

The team member with Captain Anbo on his body jumped down first. After receiving the secret signal from Anbo, the door was expanded and the team members jumped down one by one.

The restrooms in the VIP lounge are truly extraordinary, luxurious, spacious and clean.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate the environment, and they were looking outside the door with a little vigilance.

Everyone heard a strange noise outside the door.

Captain Anbo made a gesture, and most of the combatants returned to their original sizes and pointed their weapons toward the door.

"Follow my instructions." Amber's voice rang in everyone's mind. This was the ability of one of the team members, "Mind Talk".

The team members divided the work according to the usual practice, and under the command of Anbo, they kicked the door open and pointed their weapons outside.

The guards wearing the same uniforms looked at each other inside and outside the door.

One was completely free and fully armed, while the other was tied up and had a cloth stuffed in his mouth.

Compared to many team members who were showing joy, An Bo did not have much joy of reunion. He quickly walked forward and took off the cloth from a team member's mouth, and asked anxiously: "Is there no one watching you?"

Although she was not untied, the team member stretched out a pair of hands from somewhere, tightly grasped her arms, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Anbo subconsciously tried to pull her hands away but it was too late. A pair of hands appeared from behind her, twisted her neck and made her turn around to face her teammates who were holding weapons and alert, and made her block the bullets.

Her shoulders sank as the head of the woman behind her rested on them.

The black hair moved across her neck, causing some itchiness.

"How about you kill your captain in order to kill me?" There was a smile in the black-haired woman's voice.

"Shoot." Amber ordered in the mental call.

After hesitating for a moment, the team members fired one after another. But when the bullets reached a certain place in front of them, they disappeared, as if swallowed by an invisible space.

"Be careful, there are other people!" An Bo warned.

But this reminder and discovery came too late. In the blink of an eye, all the team members in front of him were swallowed up by the invisible space.

So only Amber and the black-haired woman were left in the VIP lounge.

With a laugh, the black-haired woman let go of her hand and said, "Long time no see."

An Bo rubbed his neck and looked behind him. The rest of the people who were tied up had disappeared, leaving only the black-haired woman. She skipped reminiscing and asked directly, "What will happen to my teammates?"

"What do you think?" The black-haired woman turned and left the room. The moment she opened the door, the illusion disappeared, and the luxurious VIP lounge turned into an empty and spacious silver-white hall. The room had never existed.

"If your team members have not committed a crime worthy of death, I will not kill them." The black-haired woman walked towards the arena. "Let's go. The sisters are waiting for you."

After hearing her answer, An Bo was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "I wonder what Adeline's expression would be if she knew that the headquarters was about to be bombed."

Their original plan was to blow up this place.

Ali Werner was stalling for time, and so were they.

"I'm more interested in Ali Werner's current expression." The black-haired woman smiled with a hint of malice, her eyebrows curved.

Ali Werner looks very bad right now.

The moment Captain Anbo was caught by his fake teammates, the picture was disconnected.

He didn't know what happened next, but how could he not guess?

Just as he angrily asked, "Where is Rachel?", the screen of the first batch of guards came back on, and the face of the silver-haired middle-aged man who made him feel physically nauseous appeared on the big screen again:

"Ten minutes have passed, are you ready?"
