Chapter 187 You’re a Liar

At the same time, both Taylor and Bob took a few steps backward as well.

They were apprehensive about the Cosmic Octagonal Nexus disk as nobody knew what

might suddenly emerge from it!

The special forces soldier standing in front of the stone door quickly prepared himself.

He was aware that a long knife was hidden within the disk. If anything happened, he’d be

the first to dodge

This time, things seemed to be going more smoothly.

Henry moved a few pieces forward and saw that the situation was getting better. He took

another few more steps and was almost close to unraveling the puzzle.

But in the next moment, the situation took a drastic turn. One move changed the entire

scenario.

Henry was utterly stunned.

At this moment, he realized that he wasn’t fully prepared to solve it.

Although there were only 28 constellations, there were hundreds of possibilities that could

happen!

He had to be cautious in making every move!

Henry had always considered himself knowledgeable in this field. He had decoded similar

Cosmic Octagonal Nexus puzzles before and thought this would be equally easy to solve.

However, he realized he had been careless.

“What do I do next?” The soldier sensed something was amiss and immediately inquired.

To dispel his concerns, Henry had no choice but to pretend as if nothing was wrong and

continue directing.

When the soldier saw the subtle change in Henry’s expression, he had a feeling that

something bad might’ve happened. He got ready to dodge.

As anticipated, the White Tiger constellation tore the Azure Dragon constellation apart!

They failed once again!

Henry’s face darkened as he immediately bent and retreated a few steps.

The constellation chart was becoming increasingly hard to read!

Sensing that something was amiss, the soldier immediately turned to escape

But the unexpected occurred in the next moment.

This time, the long knife didn’t swing out

Instead, faint glints appeared on the walls.

Hundreds of arrows swiftly shot toward the soldier, killing him!

Witnessing this, everyone’s expression froze in horror. They gasped and began to retreat

hastily.

No one had anticipated such hidden traps!

Everyone present was shaken to the core.

They grabbed their flashlights and began looking around, fearing more unforeseen events.

Nobody knew what other traps might spring up!

At this moment, the Cosmic Octagonal Nexus disk reverted to its original state.

“Mr. Shaw, why did we fail again? Weren’t you confident this time?” Bob was infuriated as

lost another comrade.

“I didn’t expect it. I was careless just now!” Henry said, somewhat embarrassed.

The ever–changing puzzle was beyond his control.

“Because of your carelessness, I’ve lost another soldier! If you can’t do it, we’ll get

someone else!” Bob impatiently retorted.

“I’ll be more cautious next time, just wait!” Henry swallowed hard and reassured him.

However, the soldiers felt that Henry was unreliable as he was flustered and panicking

They felt that he was playing games with them and they would bear the consequences!

Right now, nobody would willingly come forward and move the disk.

“Mr. Taylor, I think his title is probably fake. We should leave first and discuss this matter

in- depth,” Bob urgently suggested.

Losing two elite soldiers from Tigra was a regrettable loss.

Hearing this, Henry was enraged. How dare anyone question him?

“What did you say? When I was in my prime, you were probably still nursing! If I can’t

solve this, nobody in this world can!”

As Bob stared at Henry, who was enraged, he became even more resolute in his thoughts.

+IS BONUS

How could a master be so narrow–minded? He barely said anything and Henry was already

pissed!

“I really doubt your expertise seeing as your emotions are unstable. Anyway, I won’t risk

my soldiers anymore. Since you’ve received the benefits given to you by Tigra, you can

solve this on your own!” Bob said.

“Calm down, both of you. We’re all working for Tigra. We’re so close to getting the

treasures behind the stone door. With Mr. Shaw’s reputation, I believe he’ll find a

solution!” Seeing the two argue, Taylor quickly stepped in to persuade them.

Since Taylor had already spoken, Bob didn’t continue to argue anymore.

He was here on a mission, and he would be punished if he failed it. Sacrifices were

sometimes inevitable in completing tasks.

Yet, Bob found these sacrifices regrettable.

“Mr. Shaw, there can’t be another failure. I’ll trust you for the last time. Please, be

cautious!” Taylor instructed.

Henry’s ability was acknowledged throughout Tigra

If even he couldn’t solve this, there might be no one in Tigra capable of solving it!

“Don’t worry! This concerns my reputation. I’ll be extremely cautious!” Henry calmed

himself and replied.

However, no soldier dared to step up to assist him.

In desperation, Taylor raised the reward to five million dollars!

Soon enough, another fearless soldier stepped forward.

With that sum, he could live a good life for a long time!

This time, Henry seemed more adept as he took over 30 steps.

Yet, unexpectedly, the northern Obsidian Sentinel Array suddenly attacked.

This sudden turn of events disrupted Henry’s arrangement.

He found himself in a difficult position once more. While he could decipher the puzzle

based

on the previous layout, the rapidly changing situation was beyond his control!

“Mr. Shaw, what’s the next move?” the soldier asked nervously.

He was utterly clueless about the situation.

“Quiet! Don’t interrupt my thoughts!” Henry snapped.

+15 BONUS

He stared at the disk, trying to find an entry point.

Suddenly, his head felt heavy, and he fell into a trance.

He saw countless stars surrounding him and the four magical beasts charging at him!

Seeing Henry turned pale, everyone knew that something was amiss.

All of a sudden, Henry felt a sharp pain in his throat and coughed up blood!

“Mr. Shaw! Mr. Shaw! Are you okay?” Taylor asked anxiously.

They rushed to help the man who had just snapped out of the trance.

But now, the situation was at a dead end. However, for the sake of his pride, Henry didn’t

want

to tell them.

“Mr. Shaw, shall we continue?” the soldier asked once again.

Although he didn’t understand what was happening, the look on Henry’s face told him that

the situation wasn’t great.

If they stopped now, he could perhaps survive.

“Continue. I thought of a plan just now, so I got a bit excited. We’re getting closer to the

treasure, so we can’t give up now!” Henry feigned calm and declared.
