Chapter 574 Successfully Obtained the Energy Stone

After a night of running around and working hard, Tang Qi lay on the bed covered in sweat, not moving for a whole hour.

After breakfast, Tang Qi returned to his residence and slept until the evening.

I don’t know if Antonio noticed something, but he didn’t go out these two days and stayed in the castle.

During dinner, he suddenly said with a half-smile, "The bet between us will last for another year."

Tang Qi ate the steak seriously, replenishing the nutrients his body needed, and replied without even looking up: "It's ten months."

Antonio sneered and said nothing more. In the spacious and luxurious restaurant, the only sound that could be heard was the gentle clinking of knives and forks.

After dinner, Tang Qi changed into a black tights, took the backpack he had prepared in advance, sneaked to the open space on the cliff behind the castle, and started to get busy.

Fortunately, the wind and waves were louder than usual tonight, perfectly covering up the noise made by her assembling the parts.

Three o'clock in the morning.

After Tang Qi installed all the parts, he lay on a huge rock to rest for half an hour, then stood up and started to move.

Like a nimble cat, she bent over and sneaked along the roof all the way to Antonio's study.

As early as a year ago, she had explored the entire castle and drawn a detailed route map.

When she was almost approaching the study, Tang Qi stopped. She hung her body upside down and pressed it against the eaves. She took out a matchbox-sized remote control from her backpack and pressed it gently.

“Boom boom boom!”

Along with a deafening roar, flames shot up into the sky all around the castle and thick smoke billowed into the air.

The silent night was lit up, but the entire castle fell into darkness.

Tang Qi nimbly flipped from the eaves to the roof, lay down quietly, blending into the night, and took a short rest.

The explosives she had installed in advance not only cut off the power of the entire castle, but also blocked the road leading to the mausoleum and the castle's platform, preventing Antonio's men from intercepting her by sniping at the wooden warehouse or climbing onto the roof.

Five minutes later, when Tang Qi's breathing had almost stabilized, she woke up Xiao Ba.

"Sister Qi, the energy stone is in the safe in the study. However, Bad Guy An is also guarding there. I sensed the fluctuation of his energy source. He seems to be waiting for you to fall into his trap!"

Tang Qi took a deep breath and his brain worked rapidly to think of a solution.

One minute later.

"Xiao Ba, your intelligent brain program is more advanced than the one Antonio has. Can you send a signal to attract it to come to you?"

“I can try!”

Five minutes later.

On the castle's observation tower, the two men who were originally guarding here were easily subdued by Tang Qi, knocked unconscious and tied to a pillar.

Antonio came, but he didn't come alone. He was holding Yang Xiaoqing, who was whimpering uncontrollably.

In the past two years, Yang Xiaoqing has been locked up in a dungeon, never seeing the sun, and has long been driven stupid.

Tang Qi frowned slightly, not understanding why Antonio brought Yang Xiaoqing up here at this time.

Is he planning to use Yang Xiaoqing to threaten her? She only has one thing to say to him: very stupid and naive.

However, what made Tang Qi happy was that Antonio really brought the energy stone with him.

If Antonio stayed in the study the whole time, she would definitely not be able to get the energy stone in the safe tonight.

So, she took a very risky approach.

After she tricked Antonio out, given his sensitive and suspicious character, he would definitely suspect that she had deliberately sent him away in order to take the opportunity to steal the energy stone in the safe.

"Are you curious why I brought her with me?"

Tang Qi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Antonio was not angry. He carried the trembling Yang Xiaoqing and walked towards her step by step.

Antonio threw the dazed Yang Xiaoqing aside, his eagle eyes gleaming with sharpness, "Do you remember what I told you two years ago?"

Tang Qi remained silent, but her mind and body were subconsciously tense.

Seeing her alert, Antonio stopped and didn't approach her. He showed a meaningful smile on his face, "I said, I know your secret. But you are better at hiding and enduring than I thought.

I waited for two whole years, and you didn't show any signs of anything, so I had to use this thing."

Antonio said as he placed the password box in his hand on the table and opened it. A blue ball-sized energy stone that was completely black and had a metallic texture appeared before his eyes.

Tang Qi only glanced at it lightly and then looked away. In her mind, Xiao Ba was so excited that he exploded: "Ahhh! Energy Stone, I'm so hungry, so hungry, Sister Qi, I want to eat energy, I want, I want, I..."

"Shut up!"

"oh."

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Less than ten seconds of silence, Xiao Ba's voice exploded in my mind again, "Sister Qi, I want..."

"knew."

"oh."

Seeing her expressionless face, Antonio closed the box containing the energy stone and raised an eyebrow at her, "Why? Didn't you plan tonight's action for it? If you hadn't detonated the explosives tonight, I wouldn't have known that you had done so many things in secret.

Now that you have no way out, why don't we talk about your secret?"

Tang Qi sneered and said calmly: "Why don't you tell me the secret about yourself first?"

Antonio threw his head back and laughed, "Finally admitted it?"

"Does it matter whether I admit it or not? You just said that you have been doubting me for the past two years. My answer is not important to you because the only person you trust from beginning to end is yourself.

However, I can tell you my other identity."

Antonio sneered disapprovingly, "Are you trying to say that you are a dark web tasker and this operation was hired by someone else? Do you think I will believe it?"

Tang Qi sneered, "I don't expect you to believe what I say, just like I don't trust you either. It's the same for everyone."

After saying that, she took two steps towards Antonio and said in a cold voice: "Didn't you always say that I look like her? I can tell you the reason now, because..."

Before the word "for" fell, Tang Qi made a lightning move and picked up the box of energy stones in her hand. However, Antonio turned around, picked up Yang Xiaoqing on the ground, and threw her out of the observation tower.

Tang Qi's eyes narrowed, and she rushed forward without thinking. When Yang Xiaoqing fell, she leaned over and grabbed her wrist.

A cold wooden barn pressed against the back of her head.

Tang Qi held the energy stone in her right hand and held Yang Xiaoqing with her left hand. She leaned on the railing of the observation tower with the back of her head pressed against the wooden door. It seemed that the only option waiting for her was to surrender.

"You lose, beautiful girl. Now, you only have two choices: surrender to me, or die."

At this moment, Tang Qi did not let go of anything in her hands. She slowly turned her head and looked at Antonio behind her.

"Unfortunately, I don't choose either of these two options."

After saying that, a weird smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Antonio's eagle eyes narrowed, his face changed drastically, then the wooden basket in his hand slipped, and his tall body fell straight to the ground.

Tang Qi let out a long breath, struggled to throw Yang Xiaoqing up, then opened the box, put the energy stones inside into the backpack, and put the bag on his back.

Xiao Ba immediately absorbed the energy source in the energy stone like a greedy sponge.
