"W-what? The transport vehicle was hijacked?"
"Wasn't Nikita escorting it?"
Master Gou's group received the news and hurried to the scene.
Mo Qiong had originally been preparing to chase the assassin who had turned into a concrete pillar, so he was shocked when he heard the news.
The enemy had actually doubled back!
