At this thought, Seren quietly reached into his waist and grasped a sharp dagger. With a simple unlock from the system, he would stab Felix's carotid artery. Once Felix dies, everything would come to an end.
But before that, Felix aimed his eyes at the camera.
A "beep" sound came from the screen.
Immediately after, a long siren sounded abruptly, and the words "System Unlocked" flashed in alarming red, startling the eyes.
Seren smirked with a sinister smile from hell, suddenly raising his hand with lightning speed. The sharp tip of the knife aimed straight at Felix's carotid artery.
Luther closely watched Seren's every move. He knew Seren had no good intentions. When Luther caught sight of Seren making a secret move, he was shocked and immediately tried to intervene. However, Seren's reaction speed was also fast when it came to sneak attacks.
As Luther watched, the blade of the dagger was already inches away from Felix's neck, a matter of split seconds.
Luther's heart sank. This is bad!
No one expected that at this critical moment, there would be someone faster, and that person was Vicki.
Vicki's leg lifted high, delivering a powerful downward kick directly onto Seren's wrist.
Seren's hand slipped, and the knife blade grazed across Felix's shoulder, tearing a gash through his clothes and flesh.
Vicki followed up with a perfect and elegant side kick, striking Seren with tremendous force, sending him crashing to the ground.
The impact was so strong that it felt like a boulder had hit Seren's chest, leaving him breathless and stunned, unable to react.
Felix was in excruciating pain, but he still pressed the final operation button until the screen displayed "System Re-Locked." Only then did he cover his injured shoulder and collapse to the ground. In fact, his overseas network key was never set with an iris system, only fingerprint access. What Seren saw as the system unlock interface was actually Felix secretly unlocking it with his fingerprint. On the other hand, when Felix looked into the camera with his eyes, he added an additional iris recognition key, adding an extra layer of security to the vault.
He wanted to firmly hold the chips in his hands through this method, instead of being blackmailed by Seren. He had to rescue Vicki. But he never expected that when Seren impatiently tried to kill him, it was Vicki who saved him at the most dangerous moment. Vicki had already freed herself from the restraints long ago, which was why she remained calm throughout.
Seren finally recovered, quickly climbing up from the ground, staring at Vicki in horror. "When did you untie the ropes?"
"I untied them on the way here, you fool," Vicki glanced at Felix's bleeding shoulder, a hint of cruelty in her eyes.
Seren roared in anger, "You deceitful woman! You tricked me!" He was too careless, thinking he could control Vicki.
Vicki sneered, "Did you think I'm still the same as before? How could I let you blackmail me?!"
After speaking, she exchanged a glance with Luther. Luther understood, and they both lunged towards Seren, attacking him together.
Seren's skills were exceptional, and the three of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle.
The entire hall descended into chaos. The previous scene happened too quickly. The other black-clad individuals, upon realizing what happened, were immediately ordered by their leader to join in the fight. They all drew their guns.
For Luther and Vicki, who were unarmed, being targeted by guns was undoubtedly dangerous. They could be injured or even killed at any moment. But they couldn't afford to care about that. They attacked Seren while protecting the injured Felix, even though they were aware of the imminent danger.
