I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 889 - The Chase

"As planned, all units split up!"

"Yes, sir!"

Instantly, the soldiers, as well as Henry’s men, spreaded out according to the layout of the building.

Some moved towards the stairs, while others focused on going through all hallways and paths on the ground floor.

Landon smiled while staring intensely at Ulrich, who was hurriedly making his way up the many stairs.

The building had 5 high ceiling floors.

And from the looks of it, it seemed like Ulrich was trying to go straight to the top.

But this didn’t make any sense.

Even though the building was 5 stories tall, each floor had the same height as a 2 story building.

So in essence, it was as tall as a 10 story building.

An average person would try finding an escape route on ground level since it was impossible to jump out the window on higher floors without sustaining any injuries.

Well, they could still do the old sheets-out-the-window thing.

But that would take some time to plan.

Even assassins planned their escape properly if they genuinely had to leave through a window that high.

So if Ulrich wasn’t looking for an escape route on the ground floor and wasn’t trying to escape through the window, then there were only 2 things involved.

.

Firstly, he planned to disguise himself, play dead, and find opportunities to sneak out.

There were no servants in the building, so he couldn’t pretend to be one and get out.

So pretending to be dead was a risky but very possible option.

Again, he could take out Henry’s men and wear their outfits as well.

In short, it’s either he planned to do any of these to escape... or there was a secret escape route on the last floor that would lead him out of this building, making him end up somewhere a little further away.

But Landon was betting more on the secret passage thing.

And he was right.

Unlike the rest, Ulrich was the only one who has ever seen Julius’ private office.

Again, it was one of those, only the heir-thing.

Julius technically saw people on either the 3rd, 2nd or ground floor.

So some days ago, he showed Ulrich the secret escape route that had 3 possible exits, all within the palace.

Once ended up inside the most guarded floor of the Treasure Hall, another ended up in Julius’s office within the palace barracks, and the last one ended up in a random building which was just a few minutes away from the palace gates.

This last one was the closest route to use when trying to flee the palace.

Of course, it wasn’t wise for the escape route to actually lead outside the palace because if enemies discover this route, they won’t even need to infiltrate the palace through the gates and walls anymore.

They’ll just pass through the tunnel, and one day the royals would find themselves mysteriously dead.

That’s why the routes all ended up at different faraway places within the massive palace.

At least it would take maybe even hours for the enemy to realize what was going on.

And by that time, they would’ve been long gone.

.

Landon smiled at Ulrich’s silhouette after assessing things thoroughly before following him alongside Henry.

"Let’s go!"

"Whatever you say, bro," Henry said while unsheathing his swords and following behind the masked Landon.

Peew Peew Peew

Slash Slash Slash.

Landon’s not his silencers, and Henry raised havoc with his sword.

The duo coordinated well as they both fought their way alongside the units and teams tasked with taking any enemies on the last floor.

Landon ran forth and shot several people with the accuracy that could make many gunmen on earth kneel.

Under the storm of enemies, he jumped several times, avoiding their attacks, before finally jumping onto someone’s sword.

What was this?

The owner of the sword watched Landon land light on his blade and pointed his black iron stick (silencers) at several people.

And in a flash, those people seemed to be placed under a spell as they fell for no apparent reason.

Was the black iron-like stick sorcery?

Landon lightly landing on the sword and shooting, all happened in no more than 3 seconds.

Flowing that, Landon did a backflip while on the enemy’s sword and shot more people while flipping in the air.

The sword owner woke up from his shock, gritted his teeth and decided to kill Landon since he was so close by.

But what he didn’t know was that Landon only let him leave because he and his sword acted as a ladder.

"Die!"

Swish Swish Swish.

Peew.

What?

The guy’s eyes widened as if he just saw a ghost.

He retreated a few steps back and used his trembling hands to touch the hole on his chest.

How could this be?

Now he knew why those people were falling earlier on.

Even as Deifer men, they had never seen such a horrifying weapon before.

This, this... What was this?

He began staggering as his eyelids felt like they were carrying an entire mountain on them.

Bam.

He was dead.

But so were many others.

Bam Bam Bam.

Their bodies dropped to the ground like flies as they died with absolute shock within their eyes.

.

Once again, Henry had cold sweat on his back while watching the horror of these weapons.

Inwardly, he swore that even if he were crazy, he would never go against Landon.

Wasn’t that just suicide?

Slash Slash Slash Slash

Peew Peew Peew Peew.

Landon, Henry and the rest forced their way through the stairs and steadily rushed to catch up with Ulrich.

Meanwhile, the star... Or one could say the stars of the show, were running upwards as fast as they could.

That’s right.

Winston tagged along.

He was a complete idiot.

He hated to admit it.

But just like when they were younger, in times like this, he knew that Ulrich always had a plan.

So why not follow him?

He refused to get caught while Ulrich escaped.

No way, how could he let that happen?

It’s either they got caught together or died together.

"Idiot, Why are you following me?"

"F***!

You.

Who’s following you?

Does this part belong to you?

Do you see your name on the floor?

I just happen to like this path, that’s all."
