Chapter 279 In the first round, you lost
——"You lost in the first round!"
A childlike sound came into Jacques' mind, and Jacques could be sure that it was directly transmitted into his mind, because the feeling was the same as the way he usually communicated with Fatty Orange, not using language, but communicating with will.
After Jacques "heared" the sound, he immediately stopped, but found that Lily and Alisha had suddenly stopped. The two looked around in confusion.
They also "heard" and Jacques could confirm from their reactions that people who were in contact with this kind of communication of will will unconsciously react like this.
At this time, everyone was about to arrive at the caravan trading company. The three of them stopped at the same time. The others were already nervous and stopped immediately and looked at them with doubtful eyes.
Alixia couldn't help asking first: "Didn't you hear a child's voice?"
Jacques had no expression on his face, Lily widened her eyes, while the others looked at Alisha with confusion.
Emma turned around and took Alisha's hand and said, "What kid? Where?"
Fran said, "Let's go quickly. Otherwise, we'll encounter Legion ants again."
Along the way, they encountered two waves of legion ants, but fortunately they were not many, so they resisted direct impact, so the legion ants threw them away and went straight to the city center.
——"The second round will begin in ten minutes."
The child's voice appeared again!
Alisha immediately turned her head and looked at Lily, and found that Lily was also looking at her with surprise. Before the two could speak, they heard Jacques whisper: "The second round... ten minutes..."
These are these two keywords!
Lily and Jacques' hands tightened slightly, and asked hurriedly: "Did you hear it too?"
Jacques found that the others were continuing to rush on the road as if nothing had happened. It was the second time. It seemed that only the three of them could receive this kind of mental power transmission, but why could only the three of them hear it? What was the situation with the "first round" and "second round" mentioned by that voice?
Although Jacques was confused, his intuition told him that something big would definitely happen in ten minutes!
Before he could find the reason, Jacques hurriedly asked Fernando in front of the team: "How long will it take to arrive?"
"If you don't delay, it will be there in two minutes." Fernando replied.
Two minutes!
It should be time to arrive at the safe house before an unexpected situation occurs.
Jacques turned to Lily and Alisha, pressing his index finger on his lips, signaling them not to speak anymore.
The two had to resist their full questions and follow the team to move forward.
Fernando's estimate was accurate, and he did not encounter legion ants on the road afterwards. In less than two minutes, the team arrived at the caravan trading company.
The business naturally closed down and rested. During the beast tide, most commercial places were closed. Fernando knocked on the door for a while before two security guards came to open the door.
After entering the house, Fernando asked the security guard if someone had come back. When he learned that the man had not returned, Fernando's smile could not be concealed.
He was full of joy and took everyone away from the main building that was open, walked towards the backyard of the business, walked through the courtyard, and headed straight to the back building that was obviously used for residence.
Everyone sighed in their hearts that the caravan trading company is worthy of being an old businessman of Chippewa. In the city where every inch of land is valuable, there can be two distinct buildings and a small courtyard. Although the outsiders like West Trading Company are not small in size, they only have a four-story brick building facing the street, and both office and residence are crowded together.
When we arrived at the back floor, Fernando headed straight to a room. After pushing the door and entering, everyone found that the carpet in the room was lifted up, revealing a closed basement entrance.
"It's here. My family must have already hid in it. Don't worry, there's a lot of space inside."
Under Fernando's guidance, everyone opened the heavy basement entrance. There was only a faint light leaking into the dark basement, but a crisp female voice came from it: "Fernando? Is it you?"
Fernando hurriedly replied, "Cecelia, it's me! Well... and... a few of my comrades,... from West Trading Company. By the way, Pedro and the others are still guarding the front building..."
Claudia created a ray of flames in each hand, and everyone entered one after another. Fernando, who was walking at the end, closed the basement entrance with the help of Jacques.
Walking through a long corridor, everyone came to a large room with the source stone lamp hanging. The room was arranged like an ordinary living room. At this time, a man and three women were waiting for them again.
Among the four, one man and one woman dressed like a waiter and a maid at home. The other two women, one looked over 50 years old, and the other was a pretty girl, who should be smaller than Emma.
Fernando introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this is my mother, the owner of the caravan business, this is my sister, Cecilia." Then he said: "Mother, this is the eldest daughter of the West family, Marianne. This is Jacques... They are all from the West business."
Marian was also a mall for a long time. He knew some information about some big businesses from all over the country. He immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Are you Mrs. Salda? But Fernando said that his surname was Asolin..."
Fernando's mother gestured to Marian to sit down and chat. After the guest and the host settled, she said: "The caravan business is indeed from the Salda family. It was founded by my father and is now managed by myself. Fernando and Cecilia naturally followed my husband's surname, Asolin."
Marian was just about to introduce everyone as usual and say some polite words to bring the relationship closer together, but he never thought that Jacques would speak first.
"Madam Salda, please be honest with me. We are not natives of Chipeva and do not understand the reasons. But since we have been here with Fernando, can we tell us that what will happen soon?"
It’s not that Jacques is impatient, and there is really not much time left. Most of the "ten minutes" has passed, and the "second round" is coming, but Jacques doesn’t know what the so-called "first round" and "second round" refer to?
Jacques looked like a guard of Marianne. Although Fernando specifically mentioned his name, it did not attract the attention of Mrs. Salda. She originally only regarded Marianne as someone who could talk to equally. Even after her son introduced Marianne, she immediately imagined the scene of her son pursuing the daughter of Wester's parents. Unexpectedly, her son really invested in and brought the person directly into the family secret place.
Mrs. Salda looked angry, wondering why this guard was so eyeless!
You should know that Jacques's issue really involves some secrets. Even her son Fernando only knew that there would be danger, but he didn't know the reason and what dangers would be. After her father passed away, she only knew the whole story of the Salda family. She didn't even tell her widowed sister-in-law and nephew, how could she explain it to outsiders!
However, Mrs. Salda has been doing business all year round and laughs at people. She plans to dispel this young man in one sentence: "The legion ants have entered the city. For safety reasons, they will naturally hide."
After entering the basement, Jacques carefully observed that this basement was by no means randomly arranged. The metal reinforced entrance door was designed to resist the strong impact of the outside. Jacques guessed that each wall should have been reinforced, otherwise Fernando would not have called it a safe house.
With too little time, Jacques felt that he would make some "shock news", otherwise Mrs. Salda would continue to be vague and wait until the "second round" starts. If there is insufficient information, Jacques would be worried that he would suffer.
