Chapter 234: Emperor's Book (Five Thousand Words)
"Was this a trap aimed at me?"
Under the double impact of Han Su's smile and his returning memories, Lu Neng was clearly starting to lose his composure. His eyes widened until they were round as saucers.
His professional instincts told him the operation had failed. He should get out of there as quickly as possible—or silence the other man.
But another instinct held him fast, making him stare eagerly at Han Su, desperate to understand what was going on.
"It wasn't aimed at you—"
Meeting Lu Neng's disbelieving gaze, Han Su listened for a moment to the sounds outside, then spoke quickly. "But you came at exactly the right time."
"First, tell me—"
He glanced outside and said, "Since you managed to get in, I assume you can get out too, right?"
"Wait!"
Han Su's wariness brought out Lu Neng's professional instincts. Despite the intense shock he had just endured, the man had somehow calmed down.
He thrust out a hand to stop Han Su, hurried to the doorway to take a look, then came back.
First, he raised his palm, bit down on it, and blew hard.
His body, which had grown thin after he let the air out, swelled up again, returning to the shape of the food delivery worker.
Only then did he speak quickly to Han Su. "I've got three minutes to get out."
"That expert codenamed Moses is outside, meeting with the other three Heavenly King-level monsters. If he comes back here alone, I still have a chance of escaping. If all Four Heavenly Kings come back together, I can't guarantee I'll make it out."
"Right. Now it's your turn to explain—"
His expression suddenly grew unusually serious. "Why did you throw away my crutch back then?"
