The scene that was revealed in front of his eyes was much different from what he expected to find though, as there was no sign of his plaything, and three unwanted characters had appeared.
To be more specific in front of him were the Director of Police, Master Huo Tie, and last but not least the Mayor.
Each of the trio should have been on their iron table beds chained and covered in wounds, and blood, and not standing in front of him with some weird and complicated expressions on their faces.
It didn't make sense! How was it possible that they were able to stand in the first place. He clearly remembered to have checked them earlier as they had fainted from the torture and pain.
As if that wasn't enough, the three of them turned to look at him, as if they were able to see him, as Master Huo Tie said,
"I don't know how we are able to stand here like this, and who exactly are you, but let me ask you this.
Are you the friend that released us, or are you our enemy?"
Young Master Cui Tao felt like he had seen the weirdest thing possible happen to him today, but the fact that Master Huo Tie was talking in his direction meant that he could really see him.
After all, there was no one else but him in that direction. At that moment he had totally forgotten about his playing toy and the fact he had disappeared as he started thinking about his situation.
If he were still disguised by his camouflage, then he could have full confidence in taking the three of them down but considering that his camouflage seemed to have gone bad, things were going to be messy.
Still, thinking deeper about this situation, the three men in front of him shouldn't be in their top form. No matter what heaven-defying medicine or technique they used, they shouldn't be his match.
Once he started thinking like that, courage and confidence started surging inside him once again, as he started planning on how to deal with them.
"I am the one who released you, I was able to get inside this place through my camouflage skills! Come on, we need to move, Mayor Cui is in that direction!
That guy is a tough bone, he has been suppressing me this whole time, but with your help, this is going to be a walk in the park!"
The direction he pointed was towards the kitchen, as that was the side that had only one hole. Furthermore, he felt that in really tight spaces, he would have an advantage against these guys.
After all, he would have his side only to himself, while these three would need to act beside each other. In order to fight against him, they would need not only great teamwork but also timing.
The reason why he didn't proudly attest that he was the one who had brought them here, and put them in that state, was because he wanted to give them a blow before starting.
No matter what, the trio in front of him were Masters with a lot of experience, and strength, no restriction was a bad restriction against them.
The trio heard him calmly as they tried to observe him from head to toe, even though Mayor Cui still didn't understand how were these people able to see him.
After some thinking and looking at each other they seemed to have made a decision, as Master Huo Tie said in a heavy and solemn tone,
"Very well, thank you very much, little brother! Now get behind us and leave everything to us! We will make sure to teach that bastard a good lesson!"
Young Master Cui Tao seemed to think about it for a second, before moving to their back while saying,
"Very well, then I will leave everything in your hands!"
"Yes, yes, do so! We have quite a belly of rage to release upon that son of a bi*tch!"
If one would be able to see the face of Young Master Cui Tao, they would immediately understand that there was something wrong with this situation.
But unfortunately, no one was able to see him as his face was blocked with a helmet. In fact, his whole body was covered in a technological suit, just like those guys in Star Wars.
"By the way, how were you able to see me?"
"Huh!? What are you talking about when…"
Before Master Huo Tie, who was also the last one in the line to walk towards the kitchen could speak, a dagger came running towards his back.
It was clear that Young Master Cui Tao was planning on injuring the first of the three through a sneak attack.
One had to accept that his plan was actually quite good considering the current situation he was in. Just like a snake, he waited for the first two to enter the hole in the wall while striking the third.
"Continue, why don't you continue old man? How are you able to see me?"
He was quite happy to see that his little play had worked perfectly, but before he could rejoice about that, he suddenly felt like the hand hitting with the dagger was stuck in mud or cement.
It wasn't moving forward, either backward. He wasn't even able to retrieve his hand and the dagger. It was stuck!
At this moment, Master Huo Tie's head turned around to look him in the eye, revealing quite an ugly and disturbing grin as he said,
"You are still a hundred years old to try and deceive us, young man!"
Apparently, the cement that had blocked Young Master Cui Tao's hand was nothing else but Master Huo Tie's pincer-like hand.
"You think yourself too smart little bastard! Do you think that I would forget your detesting voice this easily?
I don't know who saved us, but that most definitely isn't you!"
Hearing those words, Young Master Cui Tao was thrown in disarray and fear. He was once again reminded of Master Huo Tie's words in his office, and he couldn't help but get terrified.
"Ho-How is this possible!? Ho-How are you able to see me!? Ho-How are you able to recognize me!? This doesn't make sense!
No, this is impossible!"
"Huh!? What are you talking idiot!? How would we be unable to see you, when you are covered in beer and taste like cheap alcohol?
Did a donkey hit your head, and make you forget who we are? I am an ex-commander of special forces bastard, there is no way I was going to not notice something like that!"
"Huh!?"
At that moment, Young Master Cui Tao couldn't help but take another look at himself and his suit and found out that it was the truth.
He had failed to notice something like this until now, but that was due to the smell coming from the kitchen, and the fact that he had been inside that room.
It was only now that he noticed liquid all over his suit, and also the smell coming from his body and suit.
"Hahahahah~! That damn little rat! So this is what he was after all that time!
Truly a smart little rat, but I will make sure to teach him a lesson when I find him once again!"
Young Master Cui Tao seemed to have gone crazy at that moment, as he remembered the moments when Eric had through all those bottles to the ceiling.
He had thought that those actions were nothing but the last actions of a little rat when death was knocking on his door, but he found out that he had been heavily mistaken.
"Hahahahah~! Little bastard, shouldn't you be thinking more about the fact that you are in my hands now, rather than punishing and teaching lessons to others!?"
"Hhahahha~! You surely are funny old man, do you think that you can kill a direct line descendant of the Cui family?
Only if you have a Deathwish!"
"Who knows, perhaps after what we went through each one of us might have a Deathwish! But at the same time, who said anything about killing you!
That would be just too light of a punishment for you after all, and we need to express our gratitude to you perfectly and personally for a long time!"
Hearing those words, and especially the tone those words were said, Young Master Cui Tao was terrified, and he felt like he was suddenly in front of three cruel vipers.
'No, I can't stay here! I can't let these guys touch me! I need to run away!'
These were his thoughts, at that moment he didn't even dare to fight them anymore, he just wanted to run away and escape their claws.
Thinking like that, he immediately used one of his life-saving cards, it was a wind talisman. He imbued the piece of paper with his Qi and then throw it in front of him.
Immediately after a strong wind took shape in between Young Master Cui Tao, and Master Huo Tie. The wind was so strong that Master Huo Tie didn't have another choice but to release the guy's hand.
As if that wasn't enough, right after another piece of paper was thrown at them, while another was thrown at the wall of the residence.
The piece of paper thrown towards the three Masters was a fire talisman, while the one thrown towards the wall was an Earth talisman.
With the help of these three talismans, Young Master Cui Tao managed to escape the hold on his hand, and also leave the residence as he run away like he had seen a ghost, without caring about the people he left behind…
