Collins was naturally concerned over this matter, as he needed to avenge his fallen Seal Mercenary members.
He hid in the dark corners, without eating or drinking for one day and one night.
Until the next evening, Winston started to show signs of suspicious activity.
Collins immediately reported this to Zeke.
“Great Marshal, Winston has a secret compartment in his office. He just squeezed himself into it a while ago.”
“If I’m not mistaken, that secret compartment leads to his private weapons workshop.”
“Good, keep watching him.” Zeke said.
“We can’t make any rash decisions now. We will wait until he had finished the first batch of titanium bullets, then we will make our move.”
“That way, he’d be caught red-handed.”
Understood!
Collins continued to spy on Winston over the next three days and three nights.
Every night, Winston always went inside his secret compartment and stayed inside it for the entire night.
Zeke estimated that once the first batch of the titanium bullets was completed, it was probably time to strike.
The night was silent.
Zeke and Collins both snuck into Winston’s office.
The office was empty, and not a soul was seen inside.
Winston must have long gone into his secret compartment.
Zeke shot a look at Collins.
Collins understood the signal immediately.
He walked over to the bookshelf and began to take out a few books in order.
Whoosh!
The bookshelf and the wall behind started to shift apart slowly, revealing a secret passageway.
When Collins was in hiding, he had long memorized the order of books required to be taken out of the shelf.
The passageway seemed to only lead downwards endlessly.
Zeke and Collins squeezed themselves into the passageway and managed to reach the bottom just after walking for about 10 meters.
At the bottom, there was a large iron door.
The weapons workshop was surely behind this door.
Zeke signaled Collins.
Collins immediately understood and backed away from the door.
There were surely plenty of automatic weapons just behind that iron door.
If the opponent were to start using the weapons in an assault, Collins definitely stood no chance in avoiding any attacks.
Zeke kicked the large iron door with a loud bang.
The sound of the door being kicked open shook the room.
Zeke had kicked open the large iron door almost effortlessly.
Collins gasped.
Just how strong were King Class Experts?
Only machinery was able to open this large iron door.
Yet, it took the Great Marshal only one kick to open it.
Unexpectedly, there was only silence behind the large iron doors.
No weapons were fired.
In the space behind the large iron door, there were large piles of various automatic weapons and materials needed for their production.
There was even a test bench for the research of chemical explosives.
The weapons here had Eurasia’s latest technologies and were enough to equip an army.
At one of the test benches facing the door, Winston picked up his AK-47 and aimed it towards Zeke.
He was calm and fearless.
Zeke was nothing but a Great Marshal with damaged life force.
He couldn’t possibly resist any attacks from automatic weapons, right?
Even in his peak condition, he couldn’t possibly resist them very long.
Winston signed, “Oh Great Marshal, I’m sorry. I had great respect for you at first and did not wish to go against you.”
“But since you’ve found this place, I cannot allow you to walk away alive.”
Zeke’s gaze fell on Winston.
“Well, if that’s the case, then you shall die.”
Winston laughed bitterly, “Great Marshal, are you still dreaming?”
“Your life is in my hands now.”
“I can end your life anytime.”
“Oh, really?” Zeke scorned at him.
“I should take your advice then.”
