Chapter 1690
Monique was stunned. She wanted to push him away, but then she suddenly thought of something.
She looked up and saw two men in a hurry passing by them.
The two men walked so fast that they didn''t notice that Levi and Monique were at the side of the
road. However, Levi and Monique saw the two people passing by clearly and knew that they were
from the group the night before.
Although they had some makeup on their faces the night before and their faces weren''t clearly
seen, but their body shapes were easily recognized. One was tall and the other was short; one was
fat and the other was slim. They would be a very eye- catchingbination wherever they went.
"They''re the men fromst night, Levi."
"I know. Keep up with them."
Levi and Monique looked at each other and quickly decided to follow the two people one after the
other. Levi was walking in the front and Monique at the back.
Levi who was in the front was closer to the enemy, so the danger level he was in was naturally
higher, that was the reason he took the initiative to be in that position. However, Monique who was
following behind wasn''t any safer either, but her main job when following behind was to provide
cover for Levi who was in front.
If there was an emergency, she had to protect Levi and retreat together immediately.
Soon, the two men went into a damp alley. The alley was quite busy and by using the cover from
the passersby, Levi and Monique followed after them with much ease.
Suddenly, the two men fastened their pace, so did Levi. At the same time, Levi looked back at
Monique to make sure that she was able to follow up properly.
However, before they went deep into the alley, a voice suddenly rang from Monique''s earphones,
"Those two really aren''t afraid of death, they really showed up. I''ll kill them."
Levi and Monique were screwed!
It turned out that their enemies had discovered them long ago, which meant that they were
deliberately led into the alley by them.
They angered the enemy. If they got caught this time, there would never be such a chance to
escape like the night before.
Monique was shocked and immediately trotted to Levi. With a voice that could only be heard by the
two of them, she whispered, "Levi, the enemies aren''t stupid, we are the stupid ones. They found
out about us a long time ago. They are just waiting for us to fall into their trap right now."
Levi also felt that something was wrong after following the two people with such sess but he was
in too much of a hurry to find the enemy''s base camp. That was why he was negligent, and that
caused him to fall into the enemies'' trap.
The night before, they sessfully escaped from the enemies and avoided their surveince. They
were also very careful the whole time. What did they do wrong that made the enemies notice them?
In an instant, several thoughts shed through Levi''s mind but they were all denied by him one by
one. Since they could think of a way to escape the enemies'' surveince, the other party could think
of a way to find them too.
It seemed that the mission was bing more and more difficult.
He patted Monique''s hand and said, "Don''t panic. I''ll find a way."
There were more and more pedestrians around them, and many of them didn''t even look at them
when they passed by them. Those people should be real pedestrians. Levi also noticed that some
people pretended to be selling things on the roadside, but they nced at Levi and Monique from
time to time, proving that they should be their enemies.
Levi looked over and saw that there were quite a few enemies indeed. "Did they say anything else,
Monique?"
"No. They must be waiting for us to take the bait." Monique leaned close to Levi and looked around
quietly, afraid that something would happen to Levi.
"Then, there''s no hurry. Since they''re waiting for us to take the bait, it means that we still have time
to escape." Levi lightly held Monique''s hand to reassure her. "Don''t worry, let''s get out of this alley
first."
If the enemy knew that Levi and Monique had discovered them, then those people would take
action. In such a narrow alley, unless one had wings to fly up into the sky, it was almost impossible
to escape from the siege of so many people.
After exining to Monique, Levi suddenly spoke in a louder voice, "When I came in just now, I saw
a good thing but I paid it no mind. Now that I think of it, it might be a very useful thing. Let''s buy it
and put it on our bodies. Maybe it can save our lives in an emergency."
Levi was talking nonsense but Monique understood him. She knew that he wanted to get away by
using that method. Right then, they had to retreat to the main alley and take advantage of the crowd
to escape.

"But, they''re almost at the end of the alley. If we don''t follow them, they''ll go upstairs. We won''t be
able to find them again if we lose them." Monique acted cooperatively and Levi gave her an
approving look.
If it weren''t for the urgency of the situation, he would have praised her. He would let her know that
she would more or less be smarter if she had someone as smart as him by her side.
Levi said, "Since you said that they walked to the end of the alley..."
Monique replied anxiously, "Yeah?"
Levi continued, "Then they must have gone upstairs from thest door then. Why are you afraid that
we might not be able to find them again? If we follow them too tightly, they might discover us with
ease. We''d better follow themter, it will be much safer that way." "But...'' Levi tugged at her arm
and pulled her away. "No buts, I''m sure I''m right."
When Monique was dragged away by Levi, her earpiece sounded. "Let''s wait a little longer. Let''s
see what tricks he can still y."
Monique immediately ryed what she heard to Levi, "Levi, the people there are observing us.
They might take action if we take the wrong step."
Levi was still rxed. "Look at these people''s skills. How many can you deal with if we really were
to fight them?"
Monique said, "If we fight by fists alone, I should be able to deal with 3 to 5 of them. But, I am afraid
that the enemy might have guns. If that is the case, I can''t even face them."
Levi analyzed carefully and said, "They used this slum as the base to recruit new members, so they
won''t be using their guns here."
Monique asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because if they identally hurt the civilians in this slum, those people will be hostile to them or be
on guard against them in the future. It''s going to be difficult for them to recruit any more people."
"That''s not necessarily true. There are not that many people here, they might not even care about it
either," Monique replied.
"But, they care about their reputation. Their slogan is to serve the civilians. They still care about the
people''s support unless they give themselves up."
Monique also understood that even though the terrorist group had made a lot of big moves before,
each move still cost them a lot of resources. Hence, they wouldn''t easily offend the civilians before
achieving great sess.
