From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 361 - 263: Raid on the Round Table Knight Base

Night had fallen, and the Thames River was draped in a serene cloak of darkness.

The water flowed under the moonlight, with soft silver waves.

Along both banks, lights twinkled faintly.

Riverside landmarks and bars, restaurants reflecting each other’s glow, made the nights here exceedingly bustling.

A yacht cruised slowly on the river of intermingling light and shadow, its body gently swaying.

Passengers either stood by the windows or gathered in small groups, taking in the nighttime scenery of the riverbanks.

On this yacht, three people with black hair and black eyes were sitting in a corner, drifting downstream with the vessel.

These three people were none other than Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Lin Zeyu.

They had taken a morning flight into this city of the Lion Heart Empire, checked into a hotel for a two-hour nap to be fully rested, and then got on this yacht to head downstream.

Downstream, in a suburban area, there was a base for Superpower Mercenaries.

It was a Thames Base belonging to the strongest mercenary group in the Lion Heart Empire, the Round Table Knights.

As the yacht slowly sailed downstream, they were getting closer and closer to the Thames Base.

At that moment,

Lu Heng’s phone buzzed, and upon checking, he saw a file sent by an Iron Blood undercover agent stationed within the Lion Heart Empire.

The most crucial part of the file was a photo, taken that very morning.

Depicted in the photo was a Superpower User in his thirties with brown hair and blue eyes, deep-set eyes, a nose like a hawk’s beak, looking exceedingly ferocious.

This man was Willie Bird, a Superpower Killer discovered by Iron Blood, who had committed crimes in Da Xia and escaped back to the Lion Heart Empire on the same day.

As a result, Chen Linian had managed to identify this man but could do nothing about him.

Extradition laws were ineffective because this person was a mercenary of the Round Table Knights, backed by significant power, making extradition impossible.

Even the Lion Heart Empire refused to recognize any crimes he might have committed.

Such extradition agreements only held sway between strong and weak nations. If it was between two strong nations, terms had to be negotiated for any exchange to happen.

In the photo, this Superpower User named Willie Bird was still drinking and frolicking, obviously pleased with the rewards from completing his assassination mission.

The file also included information about his level, but his level wasn’t important.

With only a Level 24, Willie Bird wouldn’t be considered low among Superpower Users, but in the eyes of Lu Heng and his companions, he was just a pawn.

So, as long as they found this man, subduing him would be effortless.

...

At 8:12 PM, the yacht floated to a part of the river near the suburbs.

Su Muyu had been controlling a Chongming Bird in the sky for reconnaissance and, after pinpointing Thames Base’s location, raised her hand to signal towards the riverbank, saying, "It’s over there, three kilometers away."

"Activate invisibility, let’s go," said Lu Heng as he took the lead and leaped towards the river. Mid-air, he entered an Invisible State, walking on the waves, sprinting toward the shore.

Su Muyu spread her Energy Wings and took flight, while Lin Zeyu shot an Energy Hook, grabbing onto a building on the shore and swung over.

Approaching within a kilometer of Thames Base, Lin Zeyu began to operate independently, wearing his Chameleon Camouflage Suit for disguise as he scouted for a sniper spot.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu continued to close in on Thames Base.

At the base’s administrative building’s ground floor, music emanated from the ballroom, where a dance party was in full swing.

A group of mercenaries was drinking and dancing, flirting with women they had seemingly abducted from somewhere.

Some girls clearly couldn’t dance but were still being twirled around by the mercenaries.

The girls dared not resist; the order of the Human World was teetering on the brink of collapse.

As the strongest mercenary force of the Lion Heart Empire, the Round Table Knights based here constituted a powerfully Combat Powered force of Superpower Mercenaries.

As long as they didn’t provoke the real powers-that-be, these individuals were unbounded by morality or law.

Among the frolicking mercenaries, Lu Heng spotted the Superpower Killer known as Willie Bird.

He was dancing with an Asian girl.

The girl was clearly struggling, her resistance feeble and fearful of appearing too forceful.

The girl didn’t resemble a dancer and gave the impression of a foreign student, seemingly brought here reluctantly to the dance party.

Willie Bird wrapped his arm around the girl’s waist, pulling her close to him.

The girl was very resistant, but her strength paled in comparison to a Level 24 Superpower User, rendering her defiance meaningless.

Willie Bird leaned in to steal a kiss.

The girl’s head kept jerking back, but she couldn’t break free.

The surrounding mercenaries laughed boisterously, as if watching a spectacle. freewebnσvel.cøm

Just as Willie Bird was about to make contact, in her desperation, the girl stabbed his foot with her high heel.

Willie Bird howled in pain and flew into a rage. Grabbing the girl’s hair, he pushed her down over a table. Unbuckling his belt, he pulled it out to strangle her, ready to commit a heinous act in full view of the ballroom.

The girl struggled desperately, to no avail.

The watching mercenaries cheered on, occasionally uttering vulgarities.

At that moment,

A Flame Arrow shot from the entrance, crossing a hundred meters and piercing Willie Bird’s back.

With a grunt,

Willie Bird let out a piercing scream, clutching his wound as he sought cover.

The other mercenaries in the hall sprang into action, pulling out weapons and searching for the archer.

Then,

Lu Heng appeared at the doorway, his hand clasping the Aurora Blade, striding forward, his blade falling as swiftly as it had risen, he cut down the nearest mercenary to the door.
