“Captain, if we attack directly, the defensive drones in the air will immediately attack us, and more reinforcements will follow suit as well!” Ed exclaimed as he looked at the residence through the display screen in the car.

Although he was not an Electronic Warfare Retaliation master, a simple scan of the device would reveal that the building in front of him was being specifically guarded by several defensive drones in the air. 

Once an attack was launched, the alarm of the residence would be set off and a large number of defensive drones would arrive. 

It would take some time for them to break into the residence to find David, and the last time they entered David’s residence, they did not manage to locate him at all.

In their opinion, it should be that David had some kind of special method to conceal himself. With the exoskeleton armors, they could have demolished the interior of the residence to find David.

However, that would still require some time. If the alarm were to go off, they would at most have less than a minute or no time at all.

“It’s alright. I have a solution to remove the security system!” Captain Feroman said in a low voice. 

As soon as he spoke, the three remaining mercenaries looked at him. 

“This is from that informant, who should be David’s enemy or someone who wants him dead. Either way, as long as it benefits us, who cares!?!” Captain Feroman said sneeringly. 

David, who was practicing the Stormy Warhammer Technique in the underground gym, suddenly felt his identity bracelet vibrate.

“Uncle Galen, we’re in trouble. Someone is attacking the residence!” David said to Galen after he looked at the notification that popped up on his identity bracelet, which was prompting him to decide whether or not to turn off the security system. He knew that it was the hidden permissions program, which had been installed by Supervisor Gilson of Lesson Security, that had been triggered.

Galen looked at David’s identity bracelet and saw the same notification that was prompting David to decide whether or not the security system should be deactivated. He couldn’t help but look at David curiously. 

He could guess that someone had probably tampered with the security system at David’s residence. However, the problem was that David had discovered it and reset the issues in the security system.

Based on that point, they could tell that David had studied the security systems rather well. 

“David, I’ll inform Father and the reinforcements will arrive immediately!” Maron exclaimed as he frantically fiddled with the identity bracelet. 

David left it to Maron to inform Mayor Bernard. Although he knew Galen was competent and impressive, he believed that Mayor Bernard was more reliable than Galen because he could mobilize his staff.

“David, you value your residence a lot, don’t you?” Galen suddenly asked. 

“Uncle Galen, my mother bequeathed this place to me!” David had received the memories of his predecessor and merged the memories of his mother and his predecessor’s. Hence, the residence that held plenty of sentimental value was still very important to him.

“Maron, stay here. David, come with me!” Galen said as he grabbed David and picked him up effortlessly like he was as light as a feather. 

Without waiting for Maron’s reply, he sped up and headed for the passage.

Maron was tempted to catch up, but after looking at Galen’s speed and thinking about Galen’s orders, he stayed behind.

David felt the wind whistling in his ears, he had never thought humans could reach that level of speed.

He was not running on an unobstructed runway. It was not an ordinary feat to be able to maintain that speed inside a building and dodge the objects flawlessly.

In the van outside, Captain Feroman fiddled with his identity bracelet and sent a series of codes to a residence that was not far away.

He then waited for a response, but to his surprise, the residence across the street did not respond for a long time. The security system was not switched off either.

Had the anonymous man deceived him?

Captain Feroman thought about it and tried to come up with the next course of action in his mind.

At this moment, five figures in silvery-white exoskeleton armor jumped down from the air and surrounded the truck.

“Damn it, why are there personal aircraft with hidden devices in here? These armorers have been protecting David!” Captain Feroman exclaimed in shock.

Aircraft with stealth abilities were not items that an ordinary person could have, and although the stealth function was only an optical simulation, the aircraft would be very difficult to detect when it was stationary.

Such stealth abilities were normally just supplementary means for protecting the safety of big shots. An armorer could be stationed in it and be deployed to attack at any time.

However, David was only the child of an armorer. Even the ‘Statesman’ title itself was only an honorary title. It was not enough to warrant such high-security standards. 

In addition, the white exoskeleton armors donned by the five armorers were all Luminous Exoskeleton Armors that were known for enhancing the manipulator’s speed by 10%.

The Luminous Exoskeleton Armors were outside the commerce of the public. They could only be purchased within the federal government through some special connections.

Its speed was much faster than the Black Diamond Exoskeleton Armor, and it had a higher surface area of Class 1 defensive material. That gave the armorers a greater advantage before the battle.

“Fight!” Captain Feroman hollered. He knew it was useless to say anything else at this point. He would only have a chance of survival if he fought for his life.

He was an armorer who was at the pinnacle. He pulled two swords out of the sheaths on his back, which were glowing with blue light. At the same time, he used them to cut open the shell of the cargo hovercar and jumped out of it.

Following behind him was Clark, who was connecting three rounded clubs into a spear, followed by Ed, who was holding a large shield in one hand, and lastly, Fessier, who was holding onto a double-edged axe.

The four of them formed a battle group, but they didn’t have the means to execute long-range attacks. Such was also the reason that they were worried about the defensive drones.

However, being surrounded by five armorers left them with no choice but to take on the battle and fight. 

As mercenaries, they often faced battles, and although they were now besieged, their bloodthirsty natures were actually triggered further.

“Watch out, don’t destroy this residence!” Galen reminded the five armorers when he appeared outside the residence while grabbing David at this moment.

“Yes, Lord!” the five armorers answered. They removed their weapons from the equipment slots on their backs.

Their weapons were rather uniform as they were all using warhammers, though the color was somewhat different from the warhammers that David had seen. They were of the same color as the twin swords in Captain Feroman’s hands.

The faces of Captain Feroman and the other three mercenaries became sullen in unison.

David was unsure, but the four mercenaries knew exactly what that color represented.

Like the spear in Clark’s hand, Ed’s shield, and Fessier’s giant axe, these three weapons were glowing with faint rays of fluorescent light, which was the color of a Class 1 material.

However, the blue luster on the swords in Captain Feroman’s hands was a Class 2 color. 

Captain Feroman had spent a huge amount of money to get the twin swords in his hands. Class 2 material was made from the teeth and claw tips of a Class 2 bug that would be fused with other precious materials.

Even if it was a Class 2 bug, the number of teeth and claw tips needed to create a weapon could only be accumulated with multiple Class 2 bugs.

Due to the fact that they were considered lightweight weapons, like the twin swords Captain Feroman was holding, only a limited amount of Class 2 material was needed. However, that was also why he had to spend a lot of credit points and pull connections to obtain them.

Since he was good at using the longsword and was an armorer who was at the pinnacle, he chose to use the Class 2 twin swords. Besides, during this mission, the enemies he would mostly face were not bugs. 

However, the five armorers in front were clad in Luminous Exoskeleton Armors and holding heavy weapons like Class 2 warhammers. The four mercenaries were pressured by their weapons. 

“Who are you? Let us go and I can give you a sum of compensation!” Captain Feroman asked Galen as he crossed the twin swords in front of him and gestured to his companions behind him.

“How were you able to control the extent of the security system shut down?” David frantically asked without waiting for Galen’s answer.

He was extremely confused. Based on his judgment, those mercenaries should have attacked him because of an accident.

No one would have known ahead of time that the T3 Sniper Assist Device would fall into his hands. Besides, the mercenaries killed Amos, who had been monitoring him.

He had always thought that the one who used Leeson Security to install a hidden program in the security system was the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy. However, the ones who triggered it were the mercenaries.

“There’s nothing to hide. We have received anonymous messages, and the safehouse we were hiding in had also been discovered. We were directed here to capture you, and at the same time, we were provided with a method to deactivate the security system. All of this was provided by your enemy, whose identity I do not know.” To get out of that situation, Captain Feroman directly mentioned the anonymous person.

He would not keep a secret for the person who had led them into the trap, but if he could use that information to earn a little bit of favor from the other party, then it would definitely be worth it.
