Chapter 41: Bad Luck

At the same time -

"Chief, this way!"

"Hmmm......"

Colin Kolick walked briskly through a passage in the backstage area of the underground arena, followed by two other gangster bodyguards besides Evans, one in light leather armor and armed with a light crossbow and a long sword to lead the way, and the other holding a wooden staff and following the two of them a little behind, wearing a hood and an old dark brown robe, looking like they might be spellcasters, but it was unknown whether they were mages or warlocks.

Kevin Stun's mage sister must have been chasing her all the way from the behind-the-scenes passage of the venue's booth—

The leader of the Korrick gang thought to himself, he had learned about the battle on the first floor of the venue not long ago, and then ordered Evans to buy time for him to escape, and he followed the familiar route to a secret passage back to the surface of Hyena Street as soon as possible, under the protection of two close attendants around him.

The plan to weaken the Northland court under the guise of an auction gimmick has undoubtedly failed completely.

Colin Korrick has little understanding of Alice's unprecedented magical qualifications, and it can be said that he made a big mistake in this plan because of the underestimation of enemies and lack of intelligence, and only ended up running away in embarrassment at this moment.

Fortunately, he still clearly remembered that when he first spent money to build this underground venue, he specially arranged a group of craftsmen, let those people design a secret passage for emergency escape in the backstage area of the venue, and then sent assassins to assassinate those craftsmen who participated in the design of the secret passage after the project was completed, so that the existence of the secret passage has always been known only to the core members of the very few gangs led by him.

Now, in order to escape Alice Stun's pursuit, he must use that secret passage to escape from this underground auction house!

Then, before I knew it, time passed for a while.

About seven or eight minutes later—

"What's going on, House? How long will you waste breaking through this broken wall? ”

Colin stood at the entrance of the escape passage in his memory, staring at the gangster personal guard in light leather armor in front of him fiddling with the stone brick wall in a dead end in front of him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but start to reprimand him for what he was doing.

He stood in place in a restless mood and stomped his feet gently, and he could see that the front of the passage without a fork in the road was blocked by a stone wall, but it stands to reason that the stone wall is the main entrance to the escape passage, to be precise, a dark wall that can be moved by the control mechanism, and after it is removed, the secret passage leading back to the surface of Hyena Street will be revealed, and then the survivor will operate another control mechanism to close the secret wall again after entering the secret passage, so as to avoid being tracked in a way that leaves as little escape trace as possible.

The gangster personal guard named House is a good wandering swordsman, he can not only fight his opponents at close range like a warrior, but also do a lot of professional thief work, whether it is to hurt people with hidden arrows or crack traps, but at this moment, after hearing Colin's reprimand, he turned back and said with an anxious face:

"I'm sorry, Lord, this wall should be able to be removed, but the trap that controls it seems to be ......"

"Seems like what?"

“…… Stuck on. ”

“……”

Colin frowned.

The wandering swordsman House lowered his head in shame, frowning and preparing for scolding, but fortunately, the leader of the entire Koric gang was not as irritable as he thought.

The leader of the Korik gang is a mature leader, cunning and vicious, but also mindful of keeping sanity and composure even in times of crisis.

Colin knew that he didn't need to continue to blame House at such a juncture, so he gritted his teeth and thought about it, blurted out a curse "hell alive", and then turned to look at the other remaining caster next to him and commanded:

"Then in your turn, Berkdor, use your invincible spells to think of a way, hurry!"

"But Lord Chief, you know I don't know how to percussion." The caster's attendant named Burktor raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing a look of grievance, "I'm a warlock......

"I-"

The rational and calm gang leader stared wide-eyed, and suddenly he almost matched the picture of a raised slap.

As Burktor said, he really remembered that the warlock guard next to him had befriended him before, and all he knew was some control spells such as "fear", "stun", "blindness", and "magic missiles" that spell casters would throw.

Without percussion, the magic missile is far less powerful than violently tearing down walls.

Colin clenched his fists, moving his gaze back and forth to look at the two gangster personal guards who had followed him all the way here, knowing in his heart that losing his temper would not help solve the problem, but for a while he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

The damn craftsmen who were involved in the design of this escape escape escape broke down at such a critical juncture!

Warnes is on top, is this retribution? The retribution for killing them at that time......

…… No, it's not some bullshit retribution, it's just bad luck.

Yes...... It's just bad luck!

After thinking about it, Colin shook his head, opened the thumb and index finger of his left hand and pinched the mouth of his right hand, reminding himself with pain that he would never be defeated by a malfunctioning secret wall in such a place.

This man has a strong desire to survive, and has experienced countless life and death tests since he led the Korik gang to rise all the way in the Northlands, whether it was the breaking period when the initial strength was weak, or the malicious attack by other street gangs after the power improved a little, and even the private soldiers who were encircled and suppressed by the private soldiers after tearing their faces with some local nobles-

No matter which time, no matter whether there is anything to lose, he survived after all, turning crises into opportunities again and again, and thus going all the way to the present!

"So, I'm not going to end up like this......" The leader of the Koric gang raised his head with a fist clenched, and as he looked around in a hurry, he tried to motivate himself, "This time, I can just as well get out of danger, and then wait until I get back to the surface of Hyena Street and find another way-"

"Shhhh......h

Suddenly, the wandering swordsman guard named House hurriedly whispered to him, raised his finger to his mouth, and turned his head to signal the fellow warlock named Burktor next to him not to make a sound.

He heard footsteps from far to near just now, in the direction of the passage where the three of them came, about seven or eight meters away at the corner of a corridor—
