Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 171 Explosion The entire basement's security measures were impeccable, with many patrolling mercenaries moving back- and forth. Not even a fly could get in However, King and Leon had clawed their way up from the corpses within the Ghost Sect, and these mercenaries were no match or the They swiftly evaded the mercenaries' searches, guided by Oliver's prompts through their earpieces. They quickly opened the security door and slipped into the final room.

King took a deep breath and whispered in admiration, “Gotta say, Oliver's impressive. He opened the door without the password." Leon scanned the surroundings before speaking. "He's always been talented. Do you think the Ghost Sect would keep someone useless?" King clicked his tongue. "True." But then, King sensed something was off. His expression turned tense. “This isn't good. Something feels wrong. The Shadow Palace people must be nearby." His wristwatch, modified into a detection device, had started to signal a warning.

Oliver responded quickly through the earpiece, "Hold on a sec. I'm cracking the last door's defences. Almost there!" At this moment, the sound of synchronized footsteps could be heard outside.

"It's too late," Leon declared decisively. "We need to act fast.

King nodded, pulled out a small bomb from his pocket, and placed it on the final door. He retreated to a safe distance and detonated it instantly.

The powerful explosion echoed through the room, and the final security door shattered into fragments, scattering in all directions.

Inside the room, George was caught off guard by the Ghost Sect's swift actions.

Hearing the massive explosion, his instinct was to protect Milly, holding her tightly to shield her from harm. "Don't be afraid." Milly was startled by the loud noise but not genuinely frightened. Her concern was for the boy in the onge. Apollo's attention was entirely drawn to the explosion, and he had becextremely agitated. His eyes turned from a deep red to a bright/crimson, and his struggles intensified. The thick steel bars were completely bent and deformed, seemingly about to snap at any moment..

The roar of the bomb grew louder, accompanied by the sound of gunfire.

In the chaos, Milly suddenly saw a bullet heading toward Apollo. Although the bullet moved quickly, it seemed to be in slow motion in her eyes. She couldn't think about why it was happening. Instinctively, she screamed, "No!" Chapter 173, Explosion the cage, shakily unlocking it with the key she had taken from George. "Go!" Apollo looked at Milly warily. Although he didn't sense any killing intent from her, his strong survival instinct made him bare his teeth in a threatening manner. Milly ignored his hostile gaze and, before shel could think rationally, began unlocking the chains on his wrists.

Apollo's eyes narrowed instantly. This was the first tanyone had dared to get so close to him. In the lab, whenever someone approached this closely, it was to inject various coloured liquids into his body. "Ah-wool" Apollo's teeth sank deeply into Milly's arm. His teeth were sharp, filled with caution, and he nearly pierced through her entire arm. Blood immediately began to flow.

"Ugh..." Milly slightly winced, but she didn't struggle or show any disgust. "Be good. I'm setting you free." Apollo's pupils contracted, but he still didn't let go of her arm. "Milly, watch out! George saw the danger and sprinted toward her, but it was too late...

A small bomb had somehow been placed in front of the cage and was already beeping in the countdown. As the bright red numbers hit zero, Milly didn't think twice.

She hugged Apollo tightly, just like George had protected her earlier, trying to shield him from the flying shrapnel with her own back.

Boom! The bomb exploded, and the blast left her ears ringing. Darkness quickly descended, and her consciousness began to fade...

Meanwhile, King and Leon had already escaped the basement, hiding in a corner of the garden, gasping for breath.

Once he had calmed down, King asked, still panting, "Leon, what's going on? Even if we couldn't get the experiment, we could have destroyed it. Why did you suddenly order a retreat?" Leon's eyes flickered before returning to their usual calm.

"It wouldn't have worked. Shadow Palace is better suited for a prolonged fight. They have the numbers. If we had stayed any longer, we might not have made it out.

"And they were clearly prepared. It's a miracle we escaped at all." King removed his mask and wiped the cut on his face that had been made by flying debris. "True enough." Shadow Palace was different from the Chost Sect.

In the Ghost Sect, everyone had climbed their way up over bodies, each with ruthless and brutal tactics, excelling in close combat and swift battles.

That's why just the three of then dared to take on Shadow Palgee and attempt to seize the experiment because each of them was highly skilled in combat.

Shadow Palace, on the other hand, while also formidable, relied on Qm rigorous training, Individualty, their combat skills and tactics couldn't compare to those of the Ghost Sect members. But they had strength in numbers and exceptional teamwork, excelling in drawn-out engagements, a Chapter 171 Explosion strength the Ghost Sect couldn't match.

King suddenly recalled something and frowned in confusion. "Hey, Leon, was I seeing things, or was the girl next to the experiment wearing the outfit I designed? "Wait... didn't you buy that outfit? Could she be the one you gave it to? Your girlfriend?" King's attention had completely shifted, and he looked at Leon with bright, curious eyes, full of gossip.

Oliver's excited voice cthrough the earpiece. "Who? Leon has a girlfriend? Who is it? A guy or a girl?" Leon remained silent.
