Chapter 495
Duke’s car finally arrived at the coastal suburbs.
It was four in the afternoon, and because of the cloudy weather, compounded with the dense, dark clouds, the seaside looked like it was cast in twilight, resulting in low visibility.
He got out of the car and, with his leather shoes crunching on the jagged rocks of the coast, approached the warehouse slowly.
This was a chemical manufacturing warehouse that had been abandoned ten years ago. Though made with metal plating, the structure was now a ruin under the onslaught of erosion from the sea breeze.
Duke walked toward it slowly and stood before the ruined entrance.
He checked the surroundings and saw that there was no one outside, but behind the door, there were at least seven or eight brutes.
It was good to see some activity there. It meant that Adina would be held here.
Duke lifted his leg and kicked the door open.
It was already dark outside, but the interior of the warehouse was even darker, and from the darkness, seven or eight black-clad brutes suddenly jumped out to surround Duke.
Duke was ready for them. He picked up a long stick and swung it hard, felling three of the eight brutes in an instant.
He stepped on the head of one fallen brute, jumped up, brought the stick straight down, and knocked out two more brutes.
Those eight men had been really confident and enthusiastic, but five of them had already been neutralized. The remaining three moved back into the warehouse in fright.
Duke kicked one fallen brute aside and slowly pressed forward.
Suddenly, a light suddenly lit up from the deepest part of the warehouse.
One brute was crouching on the floor, a rope in his hands. The rope extended to the beam where a sack hung from it, and inside the sack was a person.
