Chapter 17: Failed to Blow Down the Door

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside the room, the 8 mercenaries seemed to have forgotten about their escape plan.

After breakfast, they just laid on the ground, talking and basking in the sun.

It was too easy and too comfortable.

Their previous lives seem to be a dog’s life in comparison.

As mercenaries, they were rich and enjoyed life.

They flew around the world on missions with sexy women.

They drove cars and smoke cigars on Cuban roads.

They wore sunscreen and laid on the beaches of Hawaii.

They rowed boats with oriental women that they met on the Mekong River.

They have done all these things.

However, at that moment, those experiences could not be compared to the present.

Being able to lay on the ground and talk about life was the greatest enjoyment yet.

There was nothing more comfortable than lying on the building floor.

They were willing to stay in the moment forever. They did not want it to slip away.

“The sunlight here reminds me of a beach full of bikini models. It’s so warm and comfortable.”

“Yeah, I’m clearly lying on the floor, but it feels more comfortable than sleeping on a big bed in a five-star hotel. It’s really strange!”

“This is indeed a magical city. If only I could settle down here, I would definitely buy this house.”

“Why don’t we settle down in this neighborhood after we finish the job?”

“Yeah, I agree. I’m already sick of fighting and killing. It’s so comfortable to lie in the sun!”

The 8 mercenaries who had been through the flames of war were lying on the ground. They were basking in the sunlight that was shining through the window.

Standing guard? Keeping watch?

They did not want to go.

How could it be more comfortable than lying down?

Clang, clang, clang…

At that moment, they thought they heard three crisp sounds.

They then heard the sound of the door being kicked.

“What is that sound? Is there something happening?”

After hearing the sounds, several people stood up at the same time and looked outside.

What was going on?

Was the area outside surrounded?

One of them saw the assault team entering the corridor downstairs. He subconsciously took out his gun and shot downwards.

Bang!

Dang!

Ah!

There were three consecutive sounds. The first was the sound of a gunshot. The second was the sound of the bullet hitting the glass.

The third was the scream of an unlucky guy who was hit by the bullet.

“Damn it! I’ve been hit! The enemy has a sniper! Everyone, dodge carefully!”

After the unlucky guy fell to the ground, he rolled behind the load-bearing wall.

The other seven people looked at each other. They did not understand what was going on.

“Dang, dang, dang!”

“This seems to be bulletproof glass?”

The mercenary who shot earlier knocked on the glass a few times.

“The quality of the glass here is too good, right? Even residential buildings are equipped with bulletproof glass?”

“Let’s not talk about these useless things. Get ready for battle! The enemy will charge in from the front!”

The 8 mercenaries took out their weapons and aimed at the door. They were ready to launch a counterattack.

On the other side, the assault team was in front of the door.

They took out the bombs and stuck them onto the door.

“Get ready!”

“Detonate!”

Boom!

A loud sound echoed through the corridors.

Everyone’s ears including the mercenaries and special forces started ringing instantly.

After the explosion, they all looked at the door.

They were all dumbfounded.

The door was still fine?

The mercenaries looked at each other. They did not know what was going on.

The other special forces were even more shocked.

The door did not explode?

Did we use too little explosives?

The assault team felt embarrassed when everyone stared at them.

They immediately said, “There’s absolutely no problem with the number of explosives used. Even a wall can be blown through.”

“Then, what’s going on now?”

“Could it be that the explosives were damp?”

“…”

After the assault team reported the odd situation, the leaders in the command car all turned to look at Smith.

“Hahaha, the weather today is pretty good.”

What else could Smith say?

Could it be that the house that he built was able to defend against weapons?

After a while, the commander gave another order.

“Use ten times the amount of explosives you used previously. Everyone, retreat!”

The commander did not believe it would not explode this time.

Five minutes later, there was another loud bang.

“Reporting to the Commander! The door still has not exploded!”

“…”

The commander was completely speechless. What exactly was going on?

Smith did not know what to do. He was also in despair.

“Mr. Smith, where did you buy the glass and doors for this residential area?” asked the leader of the investigators, Kaiser.

After Smith heard his question, he immediately said in his heart, “System, forge a certificate for me.”

The next second, Smith received a notification from the system.

He appeared to be much calmer.

“No problem, take down the phone number…”

Smith casually mentioned a phone number.

After the leader of the investigators noted down the phone number, he walked out of the command car and made a call.

“Find out who this number belongs to and then check the specific situation in this glass window and door factory.”

“Yes!”

The investigator’s leader smoked a cigarette outside the car and waited for a reply.

“Leader, the person who answered the phone is not the owner of the factory. The owner is already dead. The cause of death was a car accident.”

“What?”

“He does have a special glass window and anti-theft door factory. However, both factories went bankrupt half a month ago after the boss died. They have started building houses in the area.”

This was as expected.

The investigator was speechless. He sighed and returned to the command car.

“Mr. Smith, do you have a lot of connections?”

“What?” asked Smith.

Smith did not know what was going on.

A lot of connections? How could he not know?
