Mahoney and the Red Shirt Crusade had no idea what Darryl's true intentions were. They were all excited after hearing Darryl's solution.
"That was close. We almost fell for the trap."
"That's right. Luckily Darryl stopped us before it was too late."
Mahoney was ecstatic. He said to Darryl, "All thanks to you, my brother. Otherwise, we would've made a grave mistake."
Mahoney said to his people, "Did everyone hear what Darryl said? Quickly form into a formation and follow his instructions. Five steps forward, three steps right, move slowly."
"I'll kill anyone that takes the wrong step and activates the trap."
The Red Shirt Crusade quickly moved into a formation and headed toward the plaza cautiously.
Darryl snickered quietly as he followed closely behind.
At first, everything was peaceful, and nothing happened. However, at about five hundred meters, the steele that the first man of the Red Shirt Crusade stepped on rumbled.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, and their faces were drained of blood.
F*ck!
Mahoney's face shifted as he yelled at the first man, "Are you trying to die? What did I say earlier? Did you f*cking step on the wrong steele?"
Mahoney wanted to run over to yell at the man, but seeing as they were surrounded by traps, he decided to swallow his anger.
The man replied apprehensively, "I… I didn't step on the wrong steele, Hall Master. I've been following the instructions."
He stood frozen in place nervously. He did not dare to move so as to not activate the traps. The men behind him were terrified.
What they did not know was that the traps had already been activated.
Rumble!
Mahoney was not a fool. He realized that Darryl was probably doing that on purpose.
Kendra, who followed them from a distance, stopped her steps upon seeing the scene before her. She felt oddly happy when she learned that Darryl only asked to work alongside Mahoney to lead them into the trap.
It seemed like she had misunderstood him.
However, seeing as Mahoney interrogated Darryl, Kendra started to worry for Darryl.
Darryl scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Calm down, Hall Master. The stone steeles did say to follow those specific instructions. Let me have another look…"
Darryl then started pretending to investigate the stone steeles. Hel looked serious on the outside, but he was actually sneering happily internally.
Haha!
Mahoney was such a fool, having blindly believed in everything Darryl had said. Since his men were injured, he could not blame it on anyone else. He should have not worked with Darryl in the first place.
