Chaplain!

Chapter 1155: 1152

Although Carter Company’s guards, including Frank Carter, amounted to only twenty, their strength was much greater on average.

Even with Lucas and the Li family forming an alliance, gathering over one hundred and fifty experts and holding an absolute advantage in numbers, they still couldn’t gain an upper hand.

But the days of Carter Company’s guards weren’t easy either.

Facing attackers nearly eight times their number was indescribably tough, almost to the point of tears.

As the battle raged, people continuously fell, and blood sprayed without end.

Furniture such as tables and chairs shattered as if they were fake, upon the slightest touch, highlighting the brutality of the fight!

“Hehe…”

“I stole from you, ‘Fat Master,’ as a means to restore the glory of the Divine Thief Sect!”

“I have not disgraced our forefathers!”

Daniel eyed the Spirit Gathering Grass inside the glass cabinet, his entire being inexplicably thrilled.

After all, Sotheby’s was a global chain entity and recognized as the industry’s number one.

It went without saying that their security capabilities were extraordinary.

That mere glass cabinet might seem insignificant, but in fact, even TNT capable of leveling a building wouldn’t affect it!

Having lived in the secular world for many years, Daniel was well aware of this.

But if he were to be stopped by a mere glass cabinet, how could he face calling himself a successor of the Divine Thief Sect?

The disciples of the Divine Thief Sect might not be great fighters, but their thieving skills were undoubtedly top-notch.

He took out a black dagger and gently slid it across the glass…

The bulletproof glass cabinet, able to withstand the force of high-explosive TNT, instantly cracked.

The dagger was no ordinary weapon, forged from a meteorite, incredibly sharp, and had yet to meet anything that could withstand it.

But Daniel was also well aware that once the glass shattered, the alarms throughout the venue would blare, and the self-destruct mechanism would also activate!

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

As expected, the moment the glass shattered, all the lights in the venue suddenly turned on, illuminating every corner without a single blind spot.

And the alarm on the wall screeched incessantly!

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Such a sound also signaled that the timed bomb had been activated.

Daniel knew he had only ten seconds, and after those ten seconds, the entire auction house would be leveled!

So upon obtaining the Spirit Gathering Grass, he instantly turned into a blur, sprinting along the pre-established route and then escaping through a broken window!

At the same time, the sound of the self-destruct device’s alarm also made the faces of the three battling factions change drastically.

Perhaps their bodies were strong in defense, and they might survive the explosion, but they certainly wouldn’t be unscathed.

Therefore, in an instant, everyone stopped their attacks!

“Retreat!”

“Retreat quickly!”

Upon shouting, Lucas immediately broke through a window to escape.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Following him, everyone fled frantically towards the periphery!

But there were only so many windows, and no matter how fast they were, it was impossible for everyone to escape within just ten seconds!

“Bang…”

“Boom…”

When the time arrived, a series of thunderous explosions resounded, followed by a rising inferno.

The originally robust reinforced concrete structure crumbled like fragile tofu dregs under the might of the high explosives!

“Bang, bang, bang…”

“Boom… Boom…”

The three-story auction house collapsed in an instant!

Dust rose to the sky, turning the venue into a dense fog where one couldn’t see their hand before them!

Not only that, but the flames grew fiercer and fiercer…
