Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 2208 Why Experience Always Wins!

Not just the assassins–even Frederick was caught off guard by the sudden change in direction.

This isn’t part of the plan!

“Hahaha!” Terence burst into hearty laughter the moment he saw Frederick’s stunned expression. “Frederick, if you didn’t expect this, imagine how those b*stards chasing us must feel right now!”

Despite his age, Terence clearly still enjoyed outplaying his enemies. The mere thought of their shocked faces sent him into fits of laughter.

Frederick, however, remained confused.

Shane, on the other hand, smugly stepped in, acting as if he had it all figured out. “Heh, I saw through this from the start! The moment I noticed that I didn’t recognize a single one of the representatives, I knew Old Mr. Quillen was pulling a classic decoy trick!”

Of course, Frederick already knew that much.

The real representatives had already set off toward Zovince in separate vehicles. Sure, traveling by road was slower than taking a plane, but with Terence and the Wolf Warrior Unit drawing all the attention, they’d slip past any enemy blockades unnoticed. noveldrama

But one thing still didn’t make sense to him. “Old Mr. Quillen, I understand why we used decoys, but why did we suddenly turn around? Couldn’t we just continue heading toward the airport?”

Before Terence could answer, Shane smirked. “You really don’t get it, do you, Frederick? If we kept heading straight for the airport, we’d get there too quickly. But by leading them in circles, we’re buying more time— keeping them occupied so they can’t chase the real targets!”

“Haha, exactly!” Terence confirmed with a chuckle.

Shane, feeling immensely proud of himself, quirked a smug brow at Frederick. “Good thing we’re not love rivals. With my superior intellect, you wouldn’t stand a chance!”

Frederick rolled his eyes, unimpressed. While he would admit that Shane was a little quicker on the uptake, when it came to looks and height? No contest–he had the clear advantage.

“But Shane isn’t all right,” Terence continued, still amused. “Buying time is just one reason. The bigger issue is Gautier Verkade. If he’s working for Tanner, there’s no way he sent just one squad after us. He must have planned for multiple layers of ambushes, ensuring we never make it to the airport alive.”

It finally dawned on Frederick. If Terence’s prediction was correct, then pressing forward toward the airport would’ve certainly been suicide.

“Haha! Old Mr. Quillen, predicting their prediction of our prediction? That’s some real high–level strategy!” Shane whistled, not even bothering to check if Terence was actually right. Either way, he was happy to kiss up to the old man.

And in doing so, he felt a deep sense of pride–when it came to social maneuvering, Frederick was still leagues behind him!

He hadn’t yet realized that the buses were filled with decoys. He simply assumed Terence had somehow caught wind of the ambush ahead and changed course, ruining their carefully laid plans.

“Relax, Aora, Azure reminded him calmly. “Even if that old fox takes a different route, it won’t change the outcome. If they can’t reach the airport, they can’t get to Zovince.”

Aora froze for a moment–then his lips curled into a wicked grin. “You’re right! If they never make it to Zovince, they’re as good as dead anyway!”

“Exactly!” Azure smirked. “All we need to do is stall them. Keep them running in circles, keep them from boarding that plane, and they’ll be completely helpless. We don’t need to be in a hurry–they do!”

Aora let out a sinister laugh, his bloodlust returning. “Let’s take our time… and enjoy playing with them.”

Aora and Azure, both high–ranking fighters, had been honing their strength through their training in Dragon’s Reversal Essence. Keeping up with the two buses was an effortless task for them.

Even with the Wolf Warrior Unit trailing behind, as long as they didn’t engage in direct combat, their pursuers couldn’t do much about them. However, as they followed the convoy, something started to feel… off.

The buses were veering further and further off course, eventually heading toward the outskirts of Yeringham–far from the expected airport route.

“What the f*ck? Where the hell are they going?” Aora finally picked up the oddity.

They had assumed their targets would be desperate to make it to the airport. But instead, these people weren’t anxious at all.

“Sh*t! I think we’ve been tricked!” Azure suddenly slapped his thigh in frustration.

“What do you mean?” Aora, already irritated, grew even more agitated.

“There’s a real chance that the people on those buses aren’t the Chamber of Commerce representatives!” Azure explained, his mind racing as he put the pieces together. “That old fox has been leading us on a wild goose chase!”

“Aaargh!” Aora let out a furious roar, dragging out the sound in sheer frustration. “That d*mn old b*stard! I’m gonna kill him!”

Azure knew there was no reasoning with Aora when he was enraged, so he could only follow him as they moved to intercept the buses.

To their surprise, the vehicles didn’t try to ram their way through. Instead, they came to a full stop.

Frederick had no idea what Terence was planning, but since the old man insisted on getting off the bus, he had no choice but to follow–along with Shane.

Behind them, Eve quickly led her troops forward, wary of an ambush. But Terence simply raised his hand, signaling for them to stay calm. Without hesitation, he took the lead, leaning slightly on his cane as he approached the assassins.

Aora narrowed his eyes. Does he not know who I am? Or is he just this reckless?

Yet, before he could speak, Terence gave him a polite nod and said, “You must be the leader of the Great Four Envoys under Teddy Tanner.”

“So, you know me?” Aora snarled, his blood boiling. “In that case, aren’t you worried I’d kill you?”

“Haha! My friend, I’ve already got one foot in the grave,” Terence said, chuckling. “Do you really think I fear death at this point? I simply stepped out because I wanted to have a little chat. You see, us old folks do enjoy our conversations!”

Aora scoffed. “Enough with the small talk! The people on those buses–are they fakes?”

“Ah, so you finally figured it out.” Terence let out another hearty laugh. “Took you long enough!”

“Son of a-!” Aora clenched his fists, grinding his teeth. “How the hell did you pull this off? Our informants saw the representatives enter your family estate!”

“Haha, that was the easy part,” Terence said, clearly enjoying himself. “You see, back in the old days, Chanaea had an entire tunnel warfare strategy My family estate is quite vast–it wasn’t difficult at all to have my guests slip out unnoticed while you were busy watching the front door.”

Aora’s face turned red with rage.

“Blame yourselves for not acting fast enough,” Terence said with a shrug. “After the fall of the Five Poison Sect, I knew this was the next move you’d make. I simply outplayed you by a few steps. By now, the real representatives should already be well on their way to Zovince. I doubt you’ll be able to catch up!”

Frederick frowned slightly. Why is Mr. Old Quillen revealing all of this? Won’t that just make them chase after the real targets?

But Eve understood immediately. Terence wanted Aora to think the representatives had taken the plane- that way, he would make the wrong call and not even attempt to pursue them by land.

And sure enough, Aora was livid. He roared in fury and lunged forward.

“You old b*stard! I’ll kill you!”

However, Terence foresaw his reaction and leisurely pulled his coat open just before Aora could reach him, forcing Aora to a halt.

In fact, Aora stepped back in horror, for beneath the elder’s coat, his body was strapped with explosives.
