Chapter 857 - Tracking

Looking at his shabby appearance, it might be hard to guess that he is actually a wealthy IT genius who made a fortune developing software and then began his adventurous travels. It's a good thing too, otherwise, any normal person wouldn't have run out to rescue someone when chased by a dozen armed men.

In any case, he had to get them back safely.

Of course, he had to get back safely too. He touched his chest, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart. He hadn't seen her reaction to that thing yet, and he absolutely wouldn't give up!

"Laila, wait for me. I will definitely return to your side!"

"What should we do next? Should we negotiate or hire some mercenaries?" Angelo asked eagerly to the other two.

Leonardo became interested too, "How do we negotiate? Do we need to carry guns?"

Roy was annoyed by their words, feeling a throbbing pain in his head. These two seemed to have no idea how bad the situation was. Those were a group of desperados. In this foreign land, their identity was not Hollywood stars but just a few out-of-town guests. To put it bluntly, those people wouldn't hesitate to put them in a sack with a few large stones and throw them into the river.

And yet here they were, chatting away merrily. Negotiate? That's a situation that arises when two equally powerful forces clash. They had no one, no weapons, and even the police station was in cahoots with those people, why would they negotiate on their own terms? If the other side proposed this, he would not go. The trick of the Feast at Hong Gate has been played to death by the people on the other side!

Listening to the two talking about hiring mercenaries again, he felt his headache even more, "Let's not talk about that. How are you going to find mercenaries? You don't even know how to contact them. How are you going to hire them? And do you have the money?"

"We do." Angelo took out a few cards from his pocket, "Shouldn't this be enough?" His money came very easily, so spending it didn't make him feel any pain. As long as he was willing, he could develop some software to sell for money in minutes.

Roy's mouth twitched, too lazy to answer his question. If money were so easy to come by, would they have been using the cash they had on them all this time?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare at Leonardo again. How could he have believed this guy's words? Believed that this was a beautiful country, a city of gardens. The city was indeed beautiful, but once its "weaknesses" were exposed, it would attract others like flies to fat, becoming someone else's target.

If they had been more cautious back then and brought a few professionals with them, at least they wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state now. When they heard the news, they hurried over without even having time to prepare properly.

If he could go back in time, he would probably still choose to come here. Because here he found what he had been dreaming of. But if he had to do it all over again, he would definitely leave Leonardo, that untrustworthy guy, behind and come alone. It would be better than bringing him along.

"Roy, come and see if that person is watching us?" Leonardo was performing his duty, observing the situation outside through the window crack, and saw two people across the street who seemed to be talking, but their eyes kept drifting towards them.

He was an actor, and he could tell at a glance if someone was acting. Not to mention those who couldn't even be called poor actors.

Roy came over and looked through the crack in the window, indeed seeing two young men across the street looking sneakily in their direction.

"Damn, we've been found out!"

"How did they find us? We've been so careful!" Leonardo slapped his thigh in frustration, "I haven't even had a chance to eat the things I just bought."

As he said this, he paused and looked up at Angelo. At the same time, Roy's gaze also fell on Angelo.

Obviously, these two men had followed him here. It seemed that they already knew the three of them were together.

Angelo also realized this, "Sorry, I was too careless." How could he have been tracked here? He had done something so detrimental to his image of wisdom and bravery?

"Let's go!" Roy grabbed his backpack and pulled Leonardo over, "We'll go out the back door. If we're surrounded by their people, it'll be troublesome."

Angelo and Leonardo nodded in understanding, picking up their things and following his lead.

However, just a few steps out of the back door, they stopped in their tracks because a gun was pointed at them, the dark barrel aimed right at them.

Damn, there were people at the back door too!

Roy cursed inwardly, calculating the likelihood of snatching the gun from this person.

He should be one of the people who followed Angelo here. The main force hadn't arrived yet, so only three people were guarding here. Two were at the front door waiting for more people to arrive, and one was holding a gun at the back door. As long as there was a gun, it was too simple to guard against three unarmed foreigners.

At least that's what those three people thought.

Unfortunately for them, they met Roy. He had been mingling in the streets since he was a child, and he had seen how thugs pulled guns many times. Even some of his former buddies had done similar things.

He could tell that the person in front of him wasn't holding the gun properly. If he fired it like that, the recoil would injure him. It was clear that he had never fired a gun before, or at least not this type of gun.

Bluffing. Roy had an idea in an instant. Just as the other party, in rough English, ordered him to raise his hands and not move, he made his move.

Dodging to the side, he darted to the other side of the person, one hand lifting the gun barrel, the other fist hitting the person's nose.

The young man screamed in pain, covering his bleeding nose as he fell to the ground.

The nasal bone is one of the more fragile parts of the human body. Roy had put all his strength into that punch, and the other person's nasal bridge was definitely broken.

From the moment they spotted the person blocking the back door, to the moment Roy knocked him down and grabbed the gun, no more than a dozen seconds had passed.

"Awesome!" Leonardo and Angelo, who reacted, clapped and cheered. If the place had been suitable, they would have wanted to lift him and throw him in the air.

Especially Leonardo, in many movies, could also make such moves. But that was in the movies, as long as he made the moves look cool, the rest of the action could be completed by stuntmen. But now it was undeniably real, facing real guns that could kill people, Roy had easily knocked the other person down and grabbed the gun!

Absolutely amazing!

Angelo regretted even more why he didn't record that moment just now. Otherwise, if he had posted it on his FB, he would have attracted a lot of people.
