Chapter 654: I WILL HUNT HIM DOWN, TONIGHT

Mu Liang was in the second floor. His legs and hands were bound with iron shackles. There was a cloth on his mouth so that no matter how much he screamed, the sound wouldn't go out of the room. He was groaning in severe pain. He wanted to break free from the shackles but the iron shackles only cut through his skin.

Mu Lan's heart stopped at that scene. She forgot to breathe. Her mind went blank. She wanted to cry, but her heart turned into a stone.

Carlo grabbed her shoulders. "Easy there. Take some slow, deep breathes."

Mu Lan controlled herself. "What happened?" Her tone was a bit cold.

"The bullet was no ordinary bullet. It was a poison to turn a person insane." Pedro came forward and explained it to her. Seeing her going forward, he stopped her. "If I were you I wouldn't go close to him. Right now, he knows no one. But I have to admit that he is definitely a warrior. He was shot two days ago and he is still a human. He is fighting to overcome it."

She asked in a shaky tone, "What do you mean by 'still human'?"

Pedro told her, "Other people would turn into animals. Those animals won't survive in the civilization."

"Is there any way to save him?" Her heart was about to burst in fear but she held it back.

Pedro calmly said, "There are two options."

Mu Lan focused on him. "What are they?"

He replied, "One is to find the antidote and give it to him in twenty four hours and he will be fine."

She asked, "And the second one?"

Pedro hesitated before saying, "The elixir."

Mu Lan let out her breath after holding it too long. "You gave me the elixir. You have extra, right?"

The muscled man went to the upstairs and heard her question. He answered, "Yes, we have extra elixir; but you had elixir from the very beginning. You are one of us. Pedro can inject it inside your body as much as you need; but he cannot give it to just anyone." That was their code. They wouldn't do anything to break the rules.

Mu Lan understood. She held her breath again. "I got it. He is not part of The Cobra so you cannot give it to him."

Mark said, "Don't say it like this. You are one of us too." He came in the second floor as well.

But Mu Lan didn't hear him. Her head was working like a roller-coaster. "The only option is for now is to take the antidote." She narrowed her eyes. "I guess Mohammed Akram has it since he shot Liang. I have twenty three hours forty five minutes." She looked at Tokugawa Shintaro, the technology master. "Give me a map. Show me where I am and where I will find Mohammed Akram. I will hunt him down, tonight."

"That's the spirit." Carlo patted her head.

Tokugawa Shintaro took her to his room. He pointed out his desk. "There is your laptop. Al put it there." He sat down on his chair and turned on his own laptop.

She took her own laptop and noticed his unusual one. "Your laptop is gorgeous."

Tokugawa Shintaro tried to distract her a little while turning on his laptop. "Do you like it?"

She looked at it thoroughly. "Well, this is the thinnest and I think the lightest laptop I have ever seen."

He grinned. "It's 10 x 6.5 x 0.20. The weight is 400 grams. Cool, right?"

Mu Lan gasped. She was looking at a treasure. "No way! Where did you get this?"

"I made it myself." He smirked. "I made another one for you."

"Awesome, but let's get down to the business."

"Alright." He clicked on the map. "Right now, we are in Tanzania, in between Lake Rukwa and the mountains; and Mohammed Akram is in Cairo. He is staying low, hiding."

Mu Lan frowned. "Hiding? Why is that? Who is after him?"

Tokugawa Shintaro recalled something. "Oh, you didn't have time to know that. Mu Feng sent his elite team in Riyadh to look for you two. The tricky part is, that wasn't the elite team. They were sent there to keep Mohammed Akram's team busy. The elite team disguised themselves as businessmen of different categories and invaded Saudi Arabia."

She sat on the table right beside his laptop and asked, "Why did they have to disguise themselves as businessmen? They could be tourists."

He crossed his legs and replied, "Well, Mohammed Akram made a policy that only businessmen could enter Saudi Arabia during summer."

Mu Lan understood. "It must be because of us."

He nodded. "That's correct. However, it didn't work in the end. While his guards were busy distracting the so-called elite team, the real elite team however were busy getting close to the Crown Prince to give him the evidence of Mohammed Akram's misdeeds."

"Since Mohammed Akram is hiding, I guess they succeeded." She guessed.

He patted her head in pride. "Yes, they found Crown Prince and told him the news and the Crown Prince sent his guards to find Mohammed Akram."

"That's wonderful." Mu Lan was truly happy.

Now he told her the main part. "Not really, because right after that the Crown Prince has gone missing and the second prince is now on the throne. Did I tell you that the king is handing his power to the Crown Prince soon?"

"What?" She didn't know how this 'the good end' took a twisted turn. "Where is the elite team?" She couldn't imagine what would happen to Saudi Arabia if the second prince got the power.

'Slavery will be established once again. How can I let that happen?' She was sweating.

He lightly answered, "They are working on it."

Mu Lan felt like she was going crazy. "They are supposed to be the elite team!" Then, something caught her mind. "Wait, are you hiding something from me?"

He gazed at her. "What makes you say that?"
