Several masked men surrounded Gilmore’s vehicle, effectively trapping him.
As Gilmore stepped out, a symphony of blades being unsheathed echoed through the air.
All the masked men in black unsheathed their warrior swords from their backs.
The shimmer of the blades under the moonlight could send chills down anyone’s spine.
However, one masked man did not unsheathe his sword.
This figure, emitting the strongest air among them, was the leader of the grou
With eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, he fixed his gaze upon Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, if you wish to live, it would be in your best interest to come with u
“Otherwise, the blades of my men show no mercy, and I fear they might harm you
Gilmore chuckled. “Is this all the Suarez Group is capable of? Sneaky, underhanded tactics?”
The masked leader’s eyes widened in surprise as he replied, “How did you know we are from the Suarez Group?”
Gilmore scoffed. “Do you take me for a fool? Kenji and I were the final bidders for the Davis Group’s gold mine shares,
“Now that I have acquired the shares and was on my way back from inspecting the mine, I get ambushed. If this isn’t all Kenji’s doing, I don’t know what
The masked leader retorted coldly. “Even though you’ve figured it out, you’re coming with us today”
Gilmore grinned. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you today.”
The masked leader’s gaze turned icy. “Do you think you have a choice?”
He then ordered his men, “Take h
him down!”
“Yes, sir!” Two masked men rushed towards Gilmore, but before they could reach him, two sharp sounds of whooshing air
echoed.
“Swish Swish
Suddenly, two gleams of blue light shot towards the charging men.
The blue lights hit their mark, and the two masked men screamed in agony.
They fell to the ground, their eyes rolling back as they foarmed at the mouth, seemingly poisoned and losing consciousness
They had been hit by long, thin steel needles.
Each needle was about 1.5 to 2 inches long, with a faint blue glow emanating from them.
The steel needles were poisoned
Everyone, be careful warned the masked leader.
Yet, before he could finish speaking, the sound of whooshing filled the air again.
From the flanks of the road, a torrent of steel needles, shining with a cold blue glow, rained down upon the dozen or so
All the masked men in black instantly drew their blades to block the incoming needles.
The sound of clashing metal resonated unceasingly!
As the needles hit the blades, sparks flew
Yet, no matter how swiftly they moved their blades to block them, they couldn’t deflect all of the rain–like steel needles.
Some needles managed to pierce their bodies.
Amidst cries of anguish, one after another, the masked men fell to the ground, their warrior swords clattering beside them. Their eyes rolled back as they
Only the leader of the masked men managed to evade the needles.
He was shocked, his eyes widening as he saw all his subordinates poisoned and fallen.
His intense gaze shifted towards Gilmore.
It was clear that Gilmore had backup hiding in the woods, and from what transpired, it was evident that the hidden backup. was highly skilled.
Capture the leader to get to the bandits!
The leader’s eyes flickered with a lethal glint as he turned his hand into a claw, lunging at Gilmore,
He aimed to sublue Gilmore.
This way, even if the hidden backup wanted to strike again, they’d be hesitant for fear of injuring Gilmore.
However, just as the leader launched his attack, a gust of wind howled through, leaves fluttering, amidst which were needles shimmering with a faint blue
His pupils contracted as he recognized the danger the needles!
Hot the speed of these incoming needles was so much faster.
It was countless times faster than the earlier ones
If the leader continued his assault on Gilmore, he would surely not evade these speeding poisonous needles.
In a life or death moment, his self–preservation kicked in and he leaped backwards to avoid them.

He then expressed his gratitude to the three Presbyters. “If it weren’t for you today, I might have died at the hands of these masked men. Thank you.
Although the three Presbyters weren’t sure about the relationship between Gilmore and their master, their master had repeatedly instructed them to resc
Even without asking, they could guess that Gilmore shared a special relationship with their master.
So, they all said to Gilmore, Mr. Reed, you are too courteous. Our master instructed us to protect you. We are only doing our duty”
Then. Tiger shouted into the woods, “Everyone, come out!”
With his shout, about 20 or 30 Star Gate martialists emerged from the woods on both sides of the road.
After these martialists came out, Tiger instructed them, “Handle these Atitans, leave no trace.”
“Yes, Sir, all Star Gate martialists answered in unison.
They began to move the bodies of the masked men, who were poisoned and unconscious on the ground.
Meanwhile a few hundred yards away, at an unnoticed high point, stood a masked elderly man in black.
He lowered his mask to his chin, revealing his aged face.
