363, you're quite good at escaping.

After obtaining the coordinates, Samodo did not hesitate and immediately had the driver head toward the destination.

Fortunately, the location was within his division's jurisdiction; otherwise, he would have had to notify the other ministers.

The entire city suddenly became lively, as not only were the military searching for the Poison King, but members of Hydra nearby were also searching in secret.

To their surprise, the exit of the secret passage was not in the city or the wilderness, but within a large mountain.

Meanwhile, inside the secret passage!

The Poison King held a flashlight, looking at the dark path ahead. This was his second time using this passage; compared to his composure the first time, he seemed much more flustered now.

For no other reason than the fact that Hydra was actually involved.

If it were just those useless trash, he wouldn't need to flee in such a pathetic state.

"Boss, why haven't we reached the exit yet? This passage feels different from before. I remember it only took about half an hour to reach the exit last time. Why is it taking so long now?"

The others chimed in one after another, "Yeah, why did it suddenly become so long? Could this be what Easterners call 'ghost hitting the wall'? It feels like we're walking, but we're actually just treading water in the same spot?"

"Old Six, you're quite knowledgeable, aren't you? You even know Eastern culture so well."

Looking at these guys, the Poison King felt a surge of anger. Idiots. If he hadn't extended the length of the passage and changed the exit to a mountain, he was certain that Hydra's men would be waiting for them the moment they stepped out.

"Oh~ shit, can you guys be quiet? Do you think the people from Hydra are as idiotic as those fools? I changed the exit after the last time. Stop talking and keep walking. It'll take about another hour to get there."

"An hour?"

Hearing that it would take that much longer, the six Leaders instantly felt a profound sense of admiration for the Poison King.

Old Six, who was ranked sixth, thought to himself: No wonder I often see him reading the Art of War; it seems he's actually learned something.

Thinking this, as he watched the Poison King pushing someone along in front, he nodded and muttered, "Hmm, this move must be the legendary 108th tactic of the Art of War—the Old Man Pushing a Cart."

The boss is indeed far-sighted, unlike me, who only learned the basics and only knows the 'Old Tree Twining Roots' tactic!

One hour later!

The Poison King successfully reached the exit with the six Leaders. After moving the decorations at the exit aside, the scene before them instantly brightened.

"Phew~ I really don't want to walk through that dark, suffocating passage ever again. It's so stifling."

"Damn Hydra! If it weren't for them, why would we be in this state? Once we find an opportunity, we must take our revenge."

"shit, you guys sure talk big now. I didn't see you being so brave back at the manor."

"Hey, Old Six, when it comes to being a coward, who can compare to you? If the boss hadn't agreed to escape, you probably would have found an excuse to slip away yourself."

The Poison King listened to their discussion with a grim expression. He now felt like slapping himself twice—how did he ever let these people become Leaders?

If not for the pressure of the situation and the lack of available people, he would have loved to shoot them one by one and bury them all right here.

Thinking of this, he roared, "Shut up!"

Seeing their boss's anger, the group quickly shut their mouths. Although they appeared fearful on the surface, they had already cursed the Poison King's ancestors back four generations in their hearts.

In their eyes, the current Poison King was just a stray dog. If they hadn't considered that he might still have many hidden cards and a massive amount of wealth, they wouldn't have given him the time of day.

Each had their own ulterior motives, but the Poison King didn't want to worry about their loyalty right now. As long as he remained strong, these guys wouldn't dare do anything to him.

He led them to a cave. After reaching the deepest part, they saw a pool of stagnant water.

Seeing this, the men looked at each other, wondering why the Poison King had brought them here. There was no path ahead; surely there couldn't be an underground river below?

While they were still puzzled, the Poison King turned around and said coldly, "Wait for me here."

With that, he leaped into the pool. Before long, ripples appeared on the surface, and the Poison King emerged holding a sealed box.

The box was opened, revealing several pistols, over a hundred thousand us dollars, and a mobile phone.

Seeing that he wanted to make a call, the others quickly spoke up to stop him. "Boss, you can't! You said yourself that Hydra might track our location. It's better to be cautious."

However, the Poison King raised his eyelids, and his cold gaze instantly made them tremble. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"No... I wouldn't dare!"

Ignoring them, he dialed a familiar number. He had expected a woman to answer, but to his surprise, it was a man on the other end.

"Poison King? I didn't expect you to be so good at running. We've turned the surrounding ten miles upside down and still couldn't find a trace of you."

"Bastard, who are you? What have you done to my wife and daughter?"

Hearing a stranger answer his home phone, he realized from the man's words that these were the people hunting him—he just didn't know if it was the military or Hydra.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to remember that you only have half an hour. If I don't see you in half an hour, your house will be leveled to the ground!"

Hearing this, the Poison King instantly flew into a rage. "fuck fuck fuck~ You wouldn't dare! Even if you don't say it, I know who you are. I have no grudge against Hydra, so why hunt us down like this? How about this: I can give you all my assets, and I will leave Mexico. I only hope you don't hurt my family; they are innocent."

Although he was the Poison King, a man who killed without blinking, he cared deeply about his family. However, his words made Samodo find it particularly hilarious.

"Really? A major drug lord selling washing powder actually has the nerve to say that to me? Innocent? You're in no position to mention that word. While I admit I'm no saint myself, compared to you, I think I'm quite kindhearted.

Remember, you only have half an hour. Don't be late."

*Beep~*

The call was disconnected. On the other end, Samodo looked at the phone on the desk and asked, "How is it? Have you tracked his location?"

"We've tracked it. Although we knew this guy was cautious, we didn't expect him to be this careful, setting the secret passage exit in a mountain. I've sent you the coordinates. Finish him off as soon as possible; this has dragged on long enough."

"Alright, thank you for your help."

After hanging up and getting the Poison King's location, he immediately sent it to the previous Major General, telling him to send gunships there and leave no one alive!

After giving the orders, he didn't stay any longer and turned to head outside.

Just then, a subordinate nearby suddenly asked, "Minister, what about this place?"

Hearing this, Samodo turned his head and calmly spat out a sentence, "We must keep our promise. It's impossible for him to arrive in half an hour, so... level this place to the ground!"

"Understood, Minister!"
