Just then, the middle-aged man happened to return.
He stared at Lin Dong and Wang Cheng, casually slapped the red button on the wall, and a piercing alarm immediately rang out through the spacious warehouse.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Wang Cheng jumped in fright and looked around.
But soon, a group of human awakened ones rushed in from outside, looking fierce and menacing.
The middle-aged man pointed at them.
"It's them. They were trying to steal the goods in the warehouse!"
The group surged forward and surrounded Lin Dong and Wang Cheng.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng was utterly dumbfounded.
"No... when did we ever try to steal anything???"
"Quit denying it. I can tell you had that kind of intention."
The middle-aged man had merely found an excuse to make a move against them.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng quickly guessed what they were after.
"You're deliberately framing us!"
"Mm, you got that right. I have my eye on the Crystal Cores in your hands. If you want to blame someone... blame yourselves for being too weak."
The middle-aged man spoke bluntly.
Among the thugs surrounding them were quite a few S-rank awakened ones. Their auras were not weak, and greed showed on their faces as they prepared to attack.
Wang Cheng staggered back several steps, his face ashen.
At this critical moment, the first person to appear in his mind was his girlfriend. He had yet to go to the Inner City to find her. He absolutely could not die here.
"Captain, what do we do?"
Lin Dong remained as calm as ever. To him, this was just a minor situation.
The middle-aged man had actually stumbled upon his true intentions by accident.
"You were right. I was planning to steal something. You're quite a good judge of character..."
"What???"
