Not only Gu Lina but all the girls present were filled with fear. They were like startled birds, scared of anyone who might come to capture them.
"Don't be so nervous, calm down, and watch quietly," the old man said with a serious expression. "As long as we are inside this illusion array, the probability of being discovered is low. They won't find us."
Hearing his words, Gu Lina, Mary, and the others finally relaxed and watched silently.
About five minutes later, the three large trucks arrived.
A middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a formidable presence got out of one of the trucks and scanned his surroundings.
"Why is it him?" The old man was taken aback.
"Who is he?" Mary asked.
"He's Artilleryman Caesar!"
"What?!"
When they heard this name, everyone looked puzzled, not knowing who Artilleryman Caesar was. They were mostly girls, many of whom weren't involved in the martial world and had no idea who Artilleryman Caesar was.
"He's a fierce underground boxer, very powerful, at least at the War God level," the old man said with a serious expression. "Scarborough and Bernard are truly despicable brothers. They intentionally made the police leave first and then sent someone to wait for us here, hoping to catch us off guard."
As he spoke, he kept his eyes on Caesar, his gaze intense.
Before being imprisoned by Firmin, the old man had spent some time in a place called White Eagle Country and naturally knew how terrifying Artilleryman Caesar was.
He was a boxer with immense punching power; a single punch from him could even break a metal baseball bat.
In the underground boxing arena, Caesar had maintained an undefeated record.
Any boxer who could last three rounds against him without falling would become famous and be praised by the media as a boxing prodigy.
The old man had watched Caesar's fights and knew how fearsome he was. Once, he knocked his opponent's head off with a single punch, creating an incredibly gruesome and terrifying scene.
Since then, he had been deeply impressed by Caesar's power.
Now, seeing Caesar appear here, he was horrified and subconsciously connected Caesar and Scarborough, feeling that the two of them were working together to ambush them.
"Are they also targeting us?"
"We... We're so unlucky. Just escaped, and now someone is after us again."
"Oh heavens, someone please come and save us. We don't want to be caught like this."
The girls looked at Caesar and his group, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
An atmosphere of terror and despair pervaded the scene, like a huge stone pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.
At that moment, Caesar swept his gaze around, not finding anyone. His expression changed, and he roared loudly, "Kung Pao Chicken!"
The old man, Mary, Gu Lina, and the others, who had been filled with terror and despair, suddenly became vivid and theatrical as they heard the words "Kung Pao Chicken."
Kung Pao Chicken? Wasn't that the code phrase Wang Chao had just given them?
"Sir, is he... sent by Brother Wang?" Gu Lina asked anxiously.
Mary and the other girls also looked at the old man with hope in their eyes.
"Let's not speak for now and watch what happens," the old man said.
"Kung Pao Chicken!"
"Kung Pao Chicken!"
While they were waiting in silence, Caesar cleared his throat and shouted twice.
The old man's expression remained serious and focused as he continued observing Caesar without responding. He had deep suspicions; after being imprisoned for so long, they had just managed to escape, and he didn't trust anyone easily.
He remained composed, intending to observe Caesar carefully and not be fooled or deceived.
After calling out three times without receiving any response, Caesar frowned slightly and turned to open the door of the large truck, seemingly ready to leave.
The old man maintained his composure and stayed quiet, just quietly observing.
However, the others couldn't stay calm.
Gu Lina was the first to stand up and shouted, "Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms!"
"Hmm?"
Caesar's expression changed, and he quickly turned his head to look.
However, in his line of sight, there was nothing.
The old man's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Gu Lina, whispering, "What are you doing?"
"He obviously came to save us. He gave the code phrase, so I responded to him," Gu Lina said.
"Are you stupid? How do we know if he's telling the truth? If he's not, then we'll be..." the old man said.
Before he could finish speaking, Mary had already stepped out of the illusion array and shouted, "Big Brother, Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms, Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms!"
Seeing this, the old man's face changed, filled with regret.
These girls were too trusting of others, weren't they?
After just a few words, they believed Caesar and his group without a second thought.
Why didn't they think about the possibility that Caesar and Scarborough might be working together, and they would be in trouble if that were the case?
Caesar looked at Mary, who seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with astonishment. "You're Kung Pao Chicken?"
He had looked over there just now, but there was nothing to be seen. Yet, Mary seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, which shocked him.
"Yes, I'm Kung Pao Chicken, and you are Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms, right?" Mary nodded.
"Yes, I'm Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms!" Caesar nodded. "Mr. Joseph notified me to come and pick someone up, and you seem to be the only one here."
"Not just me, there are others too."
Mary's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at the old man and Gu Lina, saying, "Old man, Gu Lina, come out quickly."
After some thought, Gu Lina finally stepped forward.
The other girls looked at each other and then, many of them gritted their teeth and decided to take the risk, stepping out one by one.
Caesar looked at these girls who had seemingly "appeared out of thin air" one by one, his eyes filled with even more astonishment. "Where did all of you come from?"
He had carefully observed that area just now, and it did not seem like a place where people could hide.
Even if it was possible to hide there, it would be impossible for so many people to remain completely silent.
And yet, these people appeared one by one, shocking him.
Gu Lina looked towards the old man's position inside the illusion array and waved, saying, "Old man, do not hide anymore, come out."
The old man saw so many people had already stepped out, and their position had already been exposed.
Even if he continued to hide, it would not be effective. He could only follow Wang Chao's instructions and slightly push the stone at the core of the illusion array.
In an instant, the entire illusion array appeared in Caesar's eyes.
"Uh!"
Caesar's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
The scene he saw now was completely different from what he saw just a moment ago.
Could it be that the scene he saw earlier was all an illusion?
