Chapter 78 The Terrible Ghost Face

Chapter 78 The Terrible Ghost Face

After being a designated driver for three years, Gabriel knew all the roads in Silverwood.

Moreover, he had been to Santos' house before, so he had already planned the best route.

He visualized a map of Silverwood in his mind.

Like navigating a location, Gabriel positioned Ghost Face as a red dot.

As Gabriel estimated Ghost Face's speed and route, the red dot on the map in his head was approaching Santos' home step by step.

And himself was the green dot.

He sprinted at high speed.

As a result, it was clear who would be the one arriving at the Adams family first.

Now, if there was no traffic jam on either side, Ghost Face was expected to get there about five minutes ahead.

The five minutes could be the difference between life and death for Santos.

In the study room of the Adams family.

Santos, practicing calligraphy, was interrupted by Captain Johnson, who rushed in.

Captain Johnson, a retired special combat soldier, was armed to the teeth.

With four of his men, Captain Johnson guarded Santos.

After Freddie told Santos what happened, Santos talked to Maria on the phone.

Looking grave, he took out his phone and stepped aside.

When Santos returned, Freddie, who was nervous, said, "Mr. Adams, did you call the police station and ask them to send police over to protect you?"

"Police station? "Santos glared and shouted angrily, "Police station is the power of the Davis family. What's the use of calling them? I've just contacted the War Department. Lee will bring in some soldiers!"

"But the Ministry of War is too far from here. It's better to go into the secret room now and wait for Maria to come back!"

Silverwood's police station and the Dragon Guard Agency were almost under the power of the Davis family.

The Davis family masterminded this assassination.

Men of the police station could not be trusted.

Otherwise, it might bring danger instead!

But Santos had a close relationship with several senior officers of Silverwood’s Ministry of War.

Only the power of the Ministry of War was worthy of his trust.

Now, running around was more dangerous.

The best way was to hide in the secret room.

The secret room was hard to find, and others did not know where it was.

The crisis would be lifted when Maria came home, and the Ministry of War members arrived.

Once the crisis was over, Santos would make the Davis family suffer.

He would not rest until all of the members of Davis family died.

Freddie didn't dare to say anything else. Together with Captain Johnson, he escorted Santos to the backyard.

Captain Johnson pushed open cabinets in a small room in the backyard where clutter was piled up.

The entrance to the basement appeared.

A narrow aisle stretched downward.

After about twenty steps, they arrived at the secret room.

It was larger than two basketball courts.

The lighting was bright, and the decoration was luxurious.

It was like the living room of a big family.

Santos sat down on the sofa without any worries. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Freddie was very smart and went to boil water to make tea.

In the whole secret room, there were all kinds of daily necessities that could satisfy all the needs of daily life.

And Captain Johnson looked gloomy, holding a saber. He and the four soldiers guarded the entrance to the secret room.

Time passed by.

Freddie fidgeted and paced back and forth.

On the contrary, it was Santos, steady as a mountain, drinking tea by himself.

Just then, there was a sound of a cabinet sliding.

Santos jerked his head up, and Freddie stopped in his tracks.

Captain Johnson was shocked, gripping his saber tightly and saying to the other four guards, "Someone's coming, get ready!"

The four nodded their heads and prepared for battle.

The sound of crisp footsteps came.

Ta-da~

The sound tugged at everyone's heartstrings.

It might be Maria.

Or it was Ghost Face, the Davis family's assassin.

Everyone stared at the secret room entrance, waiting to see who it was.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a cough came.

It broke everyone's illusions.

Santos instantly frowned, put down his teacup, and stood up.

It was a man's voice, not Maria.

Then it could only be Ghost Face.

"Ahem, Mr. Adams, why are you hiding here, causing me to search!"

Two people slowly walked out of the narrow passageway.

The one walking in front was a purple-robed man.

He walked in with his hands behind his back. The man’s face was black, and his skin was scorched and wrinkled. He was powerful.

It was Ghost Face.

Behind Ghost Face was a middle-aged woman.

She kept rubbing her hands together, looking very nervous.

"Sarah, I treat you well. Why are you leading the way for the bad guy?"

Santos glanced at the middle-aged woman behind Ghost Face and felt disappointed.

And he understood why Ghost Face easily found the secret room.

This middle-aged woman was Sarah.

She had been a nanny for ten years in the Adams family.

For ten years, she was considered a member of the Adams family, but Sarah betrayed him.

Sarah couldn't lift her head and said guiltily, "Mr. Adams, I’m sorry. They kidnapped my son. If I don't help them, my son will be killed."

"Okay. Enough!"

Santos didn't bother to ask the reason. It was no point.

He said to Ghost Face, "Ghost Face, although you are a person on the Underground World's Sky List, can you bear the consequences of killing me, a senator of the country?"

As a senator, behind him stood the country.

When the supervision team was about to arrive in Silverwood, killing a vital councilor would cause an uproar.

Until now, Santos still couldn't understand why the Davis family did so, regardless of the consequences.

Were they not afraid of getting them involved?

"Ahem, there's no need for me to bear the consequence. That's Michael's business! Besides, everyone in this basement will be killed, and no one can testify that I did this!"

"Alright, Mr. Adams, goodbye!"

Ghost Face jumped and formed his hands into claws.

Aggressively, he attacked Santos straight away.

"Don't even think about hurting Mr. Adams!"

Captain Johnson held his saber in his hand and fought Ghost Face.

The other four guards, all holding weapons, surrounded Ghost Face.

"You want to block me? NaÏve!"

Ghost Face snorted coldly, prancing up like an eagle in the air.

Suddenly, he made a dive and slammed his right foot down.

His right foot kicked a guard straight in the chest.

With his arms in front of his chest, the guard blocked it.

But Ghost Face's kick was too powerful, and the guard was kicked out.

Ghost Face followed the momentum of stepping and flipped over.

The claw of his right hand made a harsh circle in the air.

There was a "buzz" sound.

The terrifying claw hit the chests of the two guards.

The claw's power was unbelievable. It scratched through the clothes on the chest of the two guards and even scratched through the flesh, leaving three blood marks.

The blood marks were deep, as if they were cut by knives.

Santos was shocked. Ghost Face's power was truly terrifying.

In one move, three people were injured.

If Maria couldn't return, Santos would be in deep trouble this time.

"D*mn it!"

Captain Johnson roared, gripping his short sword and violently jabbing forward.

"You’re just rubbish!"

Regarding Captain Johnson's attack, Ghost Face was utterly disdainful.

He leaped into the air like an eagle, leaping into the distance.

Captain Johnson's strike was a blank.

Not willing to surrender, he continued to chase after Ghost Face with his sword.

"I'm back!"

Just then, Ghost Face laughed and bounced back.

His violent claw attacked down, heading straight for Captain Johnson's vitals.

"D*mn it!"

Captain Johnson was not an ordinary person after all, and he reacted quickly.

The saber was crossed and slashed with vigor.

The sharp saber drew a stern arc in the air.

"Slash!”

Captain's saber slashed at Ghost Face's claw.

But immediately afterward, something that surprised Captain Johnson happened.

The saber collided with Ghost Face's claw but did not cause any damage to him.

Instead, Ghost Face's right claw exerted force with three fingers and crushed Captain’s saber with a "bang" sound.

"How is that possible?"

Captain Johnson's eyes widened.

"Ahem, your saber is pretty useless!"

Ghost Face taunted with a single remark, and his left foot kicked sideways in the process.

Captain Johnson returned to his senses and crossed his right arm.

However, he was sent flying by the kick.

He fell to the ground and skidded for a long time before stopping.

"Captain!"

The four team members shouted, trying to pull Captain Johnson.

But Ghost Face hit them again.

"You still have time to care about others. Die!"

Ghost Face was like a flying eagle falling, with his two claws attacking.

The two guards injured in the chest just now could not resist and were both hit.

Ghost Face's two claws pinched.

The two guards' necks were broken.

Immediately, they died.

"I want your heart!"

After killing the two, Ghost Face didn't stop.

He attacked the uninjured police officer again.

His left claw broke through the opponent's defense, and the right claw, with three fingers, ripped off the man’s flesh right to his heart.

The skin and flesh were stirred with a violent twist, and blood flowed out.

That police officer let out a heart-rending howl and died.

"What an unbearable blow!"

Having killed three people, Ghost Face clapped his hands.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards Santos.

He said to Santos, "Mr. Adams, be on your way. Today will be the anniversary of your death!"
