Chapter: 521

Then, more smoke grenades were tossed in, engulfing the room in thick, choking fog.

Everyone couldn't open their eyes and started coughing.

In the foggy smoke, everything ahead was blurry, and nobody could see clearly.

Having digested a Mind Clearing Pill, Norah covered her mouth and nose with a black cloth and slipped into the room from the side.

Norah swiftly made her way to the boxes of firearms, guided by the position she had just scoped out from the upper floor.

There were three square iron boxes. Each appeared exceedingly heavy and too cumbersome for a single person to move.

"Sir, someone's coming!" one of Oscar's men yelled.

Despite their obscured vision, they could sense the presence of someone nearby through the sounds and sensations around them.

Oscar's expression hardened. “Protect the firearms!" He supposed his dealer's retreat was a mere distraction since their true objective was the firearms.

Oscar blinked vigorously, trying to clear his watery, bloodshot eyes.

But his vision remained blurred. “Secure the firearms and load them into the vehicle."

However, Oscar's dealer, known as Jovanni Flores, feared Oscar's men would try to seize his money and urged his folks to flee frantically toward the exit.

Amidst the chaos, an explosion sent one of Jovanni's men hurtling into the air as the man raced toward the door, leaving him grievously injured. His screams of agony pierced the smoke-filled room.

Jovanni turned around, jaw clenched, shouting, "Oscar! You're playing dirty! If I can't go back today, it's an all-out war our two gangs!"

Realizing that more traps could lie ahead, Jovanni's men had no choice but to turn around and approach the factory's heart instead, wary of hidden dangers.

The echoes of the explosion reverberated in Oscar's ears, drowning out Jovanni's words. Oscar believed Jovanni had intentionally detonated the bomb. Deep lines etched his brow in frustration. The discovery of mines further fueled his realization that the other party was determined to seize his firearms.

Norah's senses heightened as the crackling underfoot alerted her of approaching assailants. Swiftly deploying a smoke grenade, she Slipped away, evading detection within the shroud of smoke.

Another explosion at the door indicated an attempted breach.

The factory had multiple exits, and Norah positioned herself strategically to intercept any firearms traders attempting to flee.

As tensions escalated, Oscar's men and Jovanni's folks accused each other of underhanded tactics, fueling their growing animosity.

Sensing imminent danger, Norah drew her pistol and fired at Jovanni's men. Uncertain of the target, a cry of pain pierced the air.

The abrupt gunshot sent a ripple of panic through the factory.

Everyone scrambled for cover, each with their weapons poised and ready to defend themselves.

Jovanni clutched his weapon tightly and reflected on his past dealings with the Breakers. Despite having done multiple trading with the Breaker, each exchange made him apprehensive that the Breaker might prioritize profit over upholding their agreement.
