Chapter 1551 - 1550: Who's There!?

"Boss, are we just letting them go?"

While Lu Yu was discussing strategies, in the top-floor office of the Crescent Group, Hussein looked at Umarov in front of him and said, his gaze heavy with gloom, "He already knows about our connection with the Shadow Luo Organization; this person cannot be left alive!"

As he spoke, Hussein's voice carried a hint of viciousness.

"Cannot be left alive!?"

Upon hearing this, Umarov picked up the remote next to him and pressed it gently, instantly displaying the footage on the screen showing Lu Yu clashing with the men earlier.

In the video, the scene of Lu Yu catching bullets with his bare hands repeated over and over.

"Take a look yourself."

At this moment, Umarov pointed at the screen and said, "Against someone who can catch bullets with his hands, do you think you can handle it?"

As he spoke, Umarov turned his gaze to look at Hussein, his words full of doubt.

"This..."

Seeing the video before him, Hussein didn't know how to respond; after pondering for a moment, he said, "Boss, what should we do about this?"

"No worries!"

Hearing this, Umarov's expression remained indifferent, as he tossed the remote aside and leaned back, speaking calmly, "Our black accounts have been destroyed; we are now flawless. So, we only need to wait for the Shadow Luo Organization to deal with them!"

"After all, we are a legitimate business; we wouldn't engage in bloody matters!"

As he spoke, Umarov's gaze sharpened, looking at Hussein with a resolute look.

"Understood!"

Upon hearing Umarov's words, Hussein nodded and said, "For this matter, just let things develop and don't force any actions."

"Good to understand."

Hearing this, Umarov nodded and said, "Now go back to your work; the Shadow Luo Organization will handle the rest for us!"

As he spoke, Umarov's voice had a hint of calmness.

With these words, Hussein nodded, then bent slightly in a bow towards Umarov before slowly exiting the room.

...

Time flew by, unnoticed, until nighttime.

At this moment, after finishing his tasks, Hussein looked up towards the window, finding the outside, lit brightly with London's splendor and beauty in full display!

Since taking up the position here, Hussein had been a model of hard work, often working late into the night. Because of this, he became Umarov's right-hand man.

"It's still early today, let's go for a drink after work."

Glancing at the time, Umarov noticed it's only ten at night, two hours earlier than usual. So, he plans to have a drink to relax.

Thinking of this, Hussein tidied up his things, just ready to leave.

And then, suddenly, a strange change occurred!

Snap!

With a soft sound, suddenly the brightly lit Crescent Group building plunged into darkness. Moments later, the green emergency lights flickered on, covering the grand office building in a green glow, resembling Hell!

"What's going on!?"

Seeing this, Hussein shouted angrily, knowing that the Crescent Group had three power lines for the building. Unless all of London lost power, it should never have a blackout!

"Could it be those fools in the engineering department shut down the whole grid!?"

Presently, Hussein spoke helplessly while taking out his phone, dialing a series of numbers, holding it to his ear.

Bzzt~ Bzzt~ Bzzt~

The phone at his ear produced not a dial tone but a chaotic noise of electrical current. Seeing this, Hussein checked his phone, discovering that all signals were gone, and the dialing system was continuously disrupted!

His phone was completely jammed!

Buzz!

Seeing this situation, instantly Hussein's scalp tingled, as he watched the greenish environment, a chill gripped his heart!

It's ten at night, first the building loses power, then the phone signals are all jammed; even a fool can see that this is to make a move against him!

"Trying to make a move against me? How foolish!"

At this moment, Hussein, after a moment of panic, spoke coldly, "This is Crescent Group's headquarters, with protective equipment that is flawless; do you think you can do anything to me!?"

Saying this, Hussein retrieved a remote control and said, "This location system has independent power equipment; if I activate the building's defense system, no one can break in here!"

With that, Hussein pressed the remote control button!

Beep!

As Hussein pressed the button, instantly the remote emitted a crisp sound, but nothing happened as expected.

The security equipment remains inactive; the greenish office environment continues, without emergency lighting from the defense system, no alarms, no system activation, surrounded only by the eerie green light like Hell, alongside endless silence!

"How can this be!?"

Seeing this situation, at this moment Hussein exclaimed, "The security equipment has an independent power system; how can it fail!?"

"If we can jam your phone signal, do you think we can't jam a mere remote control signal?"

Just when Hussein was utterly shocked, a deep, magnetic male voice drifted through, echoing in the building, making the origin of the voice untraceable!

Simultaneously, among the greenish environment, shadows began to flicker. One glance revealed ghost-like figures that stirred fear in one's heart.

"Who is it!?"

Seeing this scene, Hussein felt his scalp tingling, shouting loudly, "Who's there!? Show yourselves!"

His voice echoed through the building, carrying a hint of despair.
