Chapter 827 - 537: Mechanism City [07] Eli Linfield: Langley Truly Has Extraordinary Connections_3

Eli Linfield glanced up and down at Pedro Langley a couple of times, then Pedro lightly furrowed his brow and said, "Pedro Langley."

"Hi, Langley!"

Eli quickly displayed his utmost sincerity.

"..."

Benjamin Durant stood off to the side, rolling his eyes so hard it seemed as if he was going to strain them.

Damn it!

Is this idiot blind or brainless?!

To think he could call a pretty boy like Pedro Langley ’bro’?!

"Mm."

The brazen Pedro Langley nodded slightly.

Benjamin was so angry he could spit blood.

—That poser!

Don’t think that by ditching the suit and dressing like a tough guy you’ve really become someone from the Martial World! Once you face those criminals, you’ll wet your pants! See how you fake it then!

Benjamin was fuming.

Nora Scott didn’t bother with all their back-and-forth. She completely missed the trio testing and probing each other, so she simply mapped things out and said, "Eli Linfield, Benjamin Durant, you two form a group." Then she glanced at Pedro Langley’s group, "The two of us form another group."

"Eh."

Eli found nothing odd about it.

But Benjamin lamented: Such protectiveness! A single-minded uncle obsessed with love, always shielding his nephew! Separating them was definitely meant to keep others from seeing Pedro Langley chicken out and wet his pants!

Even though Benjamin didn’t voice his opinion, Nora did not solicit his perspective—after all, Benjamin’s opinion didn’t matter.

So, as she turned her head, she asked Pedro Langley, "Got in touch?"

"Yes." Pedro nodded slightly, "They stowed away in the trunk and followed us here, everything’s fine. I told them to lay low."

Having reached the others and learned they were fine, Nora breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Pedro conveyed Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott’s experiences to the group.

Marcus and Oliver discovered that Clarence got kidnapped, so they followed the car to check it out. The two cars stopped by the roadside to await their accomplices, and the two saw an opportunity, opened the trunk, and followed.

Oliver had messaged Nora to report, but Nora’s phone wasn’t with her, so she didn’t see it.

While Pedro was talking, he created a group chat on WeChat and added Nora and Benjamin, sending the photos Oliver secretly took of the location.

Meanwhile—

Pedro made a call and directly obtained satellite images of the village. Nora quickly identified the brothers’ location using the village pictures.

Benjamin + Eli: "..." Damn it, they’re martial world folks, using high-tech gadgets for their tasks.

"Let’s go."

Nora mapped out the route for them, then took off with Pedro Langley, leaving the two bachelors behind.

Watching the pair walk away, Eli found it kind of unbelievable, asking Benjamin, "What does Langley do? This kind of prowess seems unusual."

Benjamin hissed, "Pff, prowess my foot, he’s just a businessman reeking of commercialism. No, a pretty boy."

"..."

Eli kept silent, staring at him.

"What’s with your look?!" Benjamin was furious.

Eli quietly approached, as serious as could be: "Is it because you like your uncle, so you can’t stand her partner?"

"!!!"

Benjamin thought he could explode.

So angry he could fly!

"It’s perfectly normal. If I hadn’t had my hand broken by Nora Scott upon our first meeting, I’d surely have fallen for her at first sight." Eli showed an ’I understand’ expression, "I’ve met countless people, never seen someone better looking than her."

Benjamin: "..."

Eli marveled again, "But this guy is truly handsome."

Benjamin: "...Let’s say."

Eli: "?"

Benjamin: "I know a great ophthalmologist, want me to recommend them?"

Eli: "..."

After a rough ride in the two off-road vehicles for an hour on the road, they arrived at a new village, stopping in front of a rather secluded house.

Two eighteen-year-olds were cramped inside one trunk, feeling utterly wronged. When the car was bouncing around, they could move, stretch a little, but as soon as it stopped, they had to endure the discomfort.

The two exchanged looks.

They heard someone getting out of the car, Clarence’s mumbling mixed with some muttered curses.

There weren’t many people in the two cars, counting the drivers and Clarence, there were roughly six or seven. From what they could hear, someone was waiting inside the house and soon someone received them, taking Clarence and others inside. But two drivers were left outside waiting.

The weather was scorching, and the drivers stayed in their cars enjoying the air conditioning.

Thanks to this, Marcus and Oliver found their chance.

The trunk wasn’t tightly shut and went unnoticed, Marcus opened a sliver to observe the outside situation. Then he pulled back, intending to tell Oliver they could go.

Yet when light from the trunk appeared, Oliver had checked his phone for messages, then whispered to Marcus, "Sis hasn’t touched her phone, brother-in-law messaged, asking about our status."

Frowning a bit, Marcus said, "Inform him first."

Since the situation was urgent, it was a last-minute decision to get in the car, not intending to confront the gangs with their current strength.

Safety first.

Otherwise, they’d be causing trouble for Nora.

They wouldn’t act rashly; first, they had to report their status to Pedro Langley and Nora, letting them know they were safe, and could come over as quickly as possible.

"Mm."

Oliver’s fingers flew across his phone, hurriedly responding to Pedro’s message.

After promptly clarifying the situation, Oliver and Marcus discussed and decided to leave the SUV first, then look for a safe place nearby to hide.

Both drivers seemed drowsy, paying no attention to the trunk, as the two exploited the opening, skillfully opened the trunk, quietly hopped out, and slipped away.

Before turning behind the house, Oliver quickly snapped a picture of the street and house, sending it to Pedro, and location tagged where they were.

After doing all this, Oliver was pulled aside by Marcus—

The door was flung open, and two men stepped out, heading toward the parked SUVs.

They carried something straight toward the trunk of Marcus and Oliver’s car, and opened it directly.

Marcus: "..."

Oliver: "..."

Thank goodness they got out early, otherwise they’d be caught red-handed.

"This luck..." After a few seconds, Oliver bent over and patted his knee, his expression slightly chagrined, "Frightening. My legs are shaky."
