The Overworked Beta and the Paranoid Alpha 99

Chapter 99: It’s Too Hot, Let’s Cool Down

The originally dark mine, due to the appearance of the green light, the visibility suddenly rose to the point where it was clearly visible to the naked eye.

Tara’s subordinate reacted very quickly. He quickly retracted the smart glasses, and at the same time, he punched Wen En’s shoulder and said angrily, “You dishonest bastard, you dare to steal my things? Next time, I’ll definitely kill you!”

His punch looked exaggerated, but he had actually held back a lot of force. Wen En, as if he had entered the role-playing of the big Scotch, dramatically fell to the ground with the force of Tara’s subordinate. He clutched his arm in pain and shouted for mercy.

“Oh, my heavens!” Romeo, on the side, suddenly went “weak” in the knees and sat on the ground. “Bro, you hit my brother. Don’t hit me!”

Charlie’s gaze briefly lingered on the little Scotch, that is, Romeo, for a second, and then he glanced at Wen En, who was disguised as the big Scotch.

Seeing this cowardly appearance, Charlie had no doubt about their identities. It was just that he didn’t expect the Scotch brothers to look much more stylish than he had seen in the pictures.

Have they been working out recently?

Despite his thoughts, Charlie’s hands did not stop. He quickly loaded his gun, raised the submachine gun, and aimed it at the big Scotch’s head. Seeing this, his subordinates also raised their guns and aimed them at Tara’s subordinates.

And Tara, the moment Charlie raised his gun, he raised his gun and aimed it at him. His well-trained subordinates almost simultaneously raised their guns, their muzzles mercilessly aimed at Charlie’s subordinates.

“Yo, bro, calm down,” Charlie said.

“Are you fucking kidding me? You came to my territory first, shot at my men, and now you want me to calm down?” Tara said in an angry tone. “You put down your gun first and then talk to me, you bastard.”

“I’m serious,” Charlie had no intention of putting down his gun and continued, “We just want the lives of these two idiots. We’re not interested in anything else.” With that, he pointed his gun at the heads of the Scotch brothers in turn.

“I’m not interested in the lives of these two wastes, but these two bastards still owe me a lot of money,” Tara sneered and said, “You want to kill them? Of course, as long as you pay their debts.”

Of course, Charlie didn’t want to pay this money. Even though he had a financial backer behind him now, he still didn’t want to pay.

Isn’t it good to keep the money for himself? Why give it to others?

Charlie looked at the weapons in Tara’s hands. He had been in the desert for so long and had fought with other large and small robber organizations in the desert. He could tell at a glance that the weapons in this robber leader’s hands were far more advanced than those of other robber organizations.

Could it be… that this group also has a backer? Charlie narrowed his eyes and thought. After all, Planet T27 was rich in resources, and many rich people wanted to come here to pan for gold. But the management of Planet T27 had been notoriously strict for these past few decades. It was not so easy for outsiders to get a piece of the pie.

In order to obtain the greatest benefits, of course, many people hoped that Planet T27 could become chaotic again.

Charlie was one of these people, and so was Joseph Hall Biotechnology behind him. Besides them, there were other large financial groups that were closely watching this place.

So, who was the financial backer behind this group of strange new robbers?

Charlie shifted his gaze from the weapon in Tara’s hand to Tara’s face. He couldn’t see Tara’s real appearance. Tara’s face was covered with a bulletproof and night vision mask.

“You don’t look like you’re short of this money,” Charlie said.

“Do I look like I’m joking with you?” Tara said angrily.

“Of course not,” Charlie denied. The moment he finished speaking, Charlie suddenly felt his nose itch, and then he saw Tara’s finger on the trigger.

His heart beat as fiercely as an electronic drum. He swayed to the side, and a deep blue ball of light passed by his eyes in a second. He turned his head and happened to see that the blue ball of light had hit the center of the chest of the subordinate behind him.

His subordinate was stunned, looked down, and was a little confused. He saw the blood hole in his chest, like a reservoir with its gates open, gushing blood. He remembered that he was clearly wearing a bulletproof vest. Why…

Charlie watched as his subordinate fell to the ground.

He instantly understood who the “financial backer” behind this group of robbers was.

“Run!” Charlie roared and rushed to the front.

The other subordinates also seemed to have reacted. They fired wildly behind them while following Charlie.

“Boss, what on earth…” one of the subordinates quickly caught up with Charlie. He was about to ask when Charlie saw that half of his head was gone in an instant.

“Oh, damn it!” Charlie shouted, watching as his subordinate lost his life and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he soon saw a glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave. There was no one else there. It was his subordinate who was guarding outside.

Despite this, Charlie’s heart did not relax.

He ran out of the mine. Two-thirds of the subordinates who had entered the mine with him had successfully escaped with him.

The blood that had splashed on his face when his subordinate died mixed with his sweat and dripped from his chin to the sand. The surviving subordinates also had bloodstains of various sizes on their bodies and faces.

Charlie summoned the few surviving subordinates and ran behind a safe rock before he could barely catch his breath.

The two subordinates who were guarding outside did not ask Charlie what had happened. They looked at the bloodstains on Charlie’s body and could more or less guess.

“Did anything unusual happen outside?” Charlie asked them.

One of the subordinates thought for a few seconds and told him what he had observed: an Omega woman who had fallen behind from a caravan had accidentally entered here. He had originally wanted to kill the Omega woman, but due to a mistake, he had let her run away.

Charlie just listened with a blank expression. When the subordinate finished speaking, he very suddenly and abruptly slapped the subordinate in front of everyone.

The subordinate just clutched his face and did not speak. Qiuyue, who was originally bowing his head and hiding among Charlie’s subordinates, also did not speak. He raised his head and stared into Charlie’s eyes.

“That fucking wasn’t some Omega woman who had fallen behind from a caravan, you stupid pig.”

Charlie lowered his voice, but from his words, everyone present could feel his anger:

“That was a spy sent by the T27 police department. If you had killed her, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.”

“I’m sorry…” the subordinate said with a trembling voice. He was really scared.

Charlie took a deep breath. He was furious, but he couldn’t kill the subordinate in front of him—because he needed combat power. And although this idiot subordinate had made a mistake, and the other idiot who had been blinded by the flashbang, he still had the ability to move and fight, so Charlie couldn’t kill him.

Charlie slowly exhaled. His gaze shifted to Qiuyue’s face. He sensed that Qiuyue was staring at him.

He briefly met Qiuyue’s gaze, and then said, “Come here. I have something to ask you.”

Qiuyue was unmoved, like a poplar tree standing in the desert. Charlie even smelled the grassy Omega pheromones coming from him.

Seeing his attitude, Charlie only felt annoyed. If it weren’t for the urgent situation now, he would have definitely fucked this Omega bitch first and then killed him.

He strode to Qiuyue, grabbed his collar, as if he were about to impulsively punch him in the face. His subordinates surrounded them, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Qiuyue understood his meaning at a glance and said coldly, “You think our company is secretly cooperating with other forces, or rather, with the T27 police department, behind your back, right?”

“How else would you explain all this?” Charlie sneered.

The corner of Qiuyue’s mouth twitched. He did not intend to make any self-justification or explanation.

Charlie pointed in the direction of the mine and said in a low, angry voice, “The weapons in the hands of those robbers are even more advanced than ours. Are you just fooling me into my death?”

“Tell me, what good would it do us to fool you?” Qiuyue asked calmly.

Charlie did not answer, but just glared at him with hatred.

Because he knew in his heart that Joseph Hall Biotechnology and the T27 police department were on opposite sides. The T27 police department had invested so much energy and money over the years, and they would definitely not allow T27 to return to its former chaotic days.

So, he knew that he was just being targeted by the people from the T27 police department.

“If you want to live, then shut up,” Qiuyue said and gave him a cold look. “Use your energy to think about how to kill your opponent, instead of venting your emotions on me here.”

In the distance, Della was in a corner, observing everything here with a high-powered telescope.

She had come to the battlefield a little later than Wen En and the others. She could have not come, until she and the other staff on the aircraft were checking the supplies and found that a sand motorboat was missing.

This was a big deal. For a moment, all the staff on the aircraft were in an uproar. They checked the surveillance inside the ship repeatedly, but strangely, they found nothing. Until Della stepped in and found a hidden plugin in the aircraft’s internal network system.

Della could tell at a glance who was behind it. She immediately sent a communication to RV, asking him where Claire was.

RV was drinking coffee happily and said, “Her? Of course she’s in her room.”

“Give her the communicator,” Della said.

RV said “oh,” walked to Claire’s door, and knocked. There was no response. “Maybe she’s sleeping.”

“Just open the door,” Della said.

“Isn’t that a bad idea?” RV’s tone was hesitant.

“Just open the door. I don’t care if you kick it down or chop it down with an axe. In short, open the door.”

Della’s tone was urgent, and RV also realized the seriousness of the matter. He knocked three more times and shouted at the door, “I’m sorry. Since you’re not opening the door, I have to force my way in.”

He took a few steps back, lowered his upper body, turned sideways, and with his arm as the impact point, he charged at the door. The door was slammed open with a “bang—”. RV walked in, and Claire’s room was strangely quiet. Only the quilt on the bed was bulging into a long shape. If you didn’t look closely, you would think someone was sleeping under the quilt.

RV was experienced. He could tell at a glance that there was no one in the room. He walked to the bed and lifted the quilt. Sure enough, there was a stack of pillows under the quilt.

RV’s face instantly turned pale. “Damn it…”

Della’s face was not much better than his. After hanging up RV’s communication, she sent another communication to Wen En—this communication, she had blocked Tara and Romeo, and was only talking to Wen En.

She briefly told Wen En what had happened and said, “I’m coming over now.”

“Alright,” Wen En said.

Della did not hear any emotional fluctuation in his tone, but she could be sure that Wen En was probably in a state of explosive anger right now.
