Chapter 336 An Unlucky Burglar?

Tonight was quite tiring for him. After he returned from abroad, his team was immediately assigned to carry out surveillance tasks.

The man was not on high alert. Because he believed that he had done a great job stalking the man with the rank of sergeant.

He was just a military officer who rose in rank because of compensation. He didn't really get it because of his skill and dedication.

The man who belonged to one of the country's intelligence departments had done his homework and knew that Erens had nothing but luck. So, there was no reason for him to be worried.

He glanced around, then yawned widely. 'Damn it, why should I bother doing reconnaissance duty like this?'

He didn't see any movement in the house anymore. The man saw the right time to set the bug.

'It's about time. I'm pretty tired from the previous task. So let's finish this as soon as possible and then get some rest.'

As soon as he saw the lights in the house were off, the man immediately sneaked there.

His footsteps had been trained so he knew which part to step on and where to step so as not to show any sign of his presence.

He then walked to the back of the house. Once he was there, the man crouched by the back door and began to unlock it with a lockpick.

Due to his trained skill, the man only needed a few seconds to open the simple lock. He managed to enter through the back door easily.

The man pressed his cell phone to signal to the other squad members that he had entered. Then, he put the phone back into his trouser pocket.

He began to install bugs in the corners of the house. He didn't notice anything until he suddenly felt goosebumps running down his spine.

The man was shivering because he felt a threat from behind him. He hasn't even seen anything yet. But his whole body told him that he was in the face of death.

The man tried to overcome his fear and took out a mini stun gun that was under his sleeve.

After he picked up the mini stun gun, he turned around and intended to launch an attack at anyone who caught him.

However, before he could launch an attack, his hand was grabbed by Erend. Then Erend grabbed him by the neck and pushed him against the wall.

The man felt that death that had been watching him now was coming when he saw Erend's eyes.

The grip of Erend's hand on his neck and wrist is also very strong. He who was a member of the intelligence department found it difficult and he knew that there was no way he could escape from this person's clutches.

"Who are you?" Erend asked.

The light at the back of the house is still not turned on. There was only a little light coming in from outside through the window pane.

The lighting in this place is so dim. That made Erend's figure even more terrifying in the eyes of the man who was a member of the intelligence department.

Erend tightened his grip on the man's neck. "Who are you?"

The man felt the oxygen supply in his head was about to disappear. He had to quickly say something before he completely passed out.

If he fainted now, then the situation would only get more complicated for him.

"Let go... Your hands first... ."

Erend immediately let go of his hand and the man immediately fell to the floor. He was gasping for water as if he had just drowned.

Erend just stared at him and then turned on the light. He wasn't worried at all that the man would suddenly attack him because Erend was sure he didn't have anything to hurt him.

When the light was on, Erend could finally see clearly the man's face. He didn't even bother to wear a mask.

The man had brown hair. His face is square and looks not too old. Maybe in his late twenties.

"Speak now. And don't you dare make any noises," Erend said in a low voice but full of emphasis. He didn't want to wake his mother and sister.

The man looked at his wrist. 'I thought it wouldn't be just a bruise. He might have fractured my bones!'

The pain he was in was simply shocking. Especially when the man saw that Erend was causing that much damage with very little effort.

"I'm just an unlucky burglar. I thought you were asleep so I came into this house. But... here I am," the man answered Erend's question with a lie that he tried his best to make.

He couldn't possibly say that he was a member of the intelligence department.

His mere presence here to scout was something that should have been top secret. But he was caught by Erend instead. The man could not imagine what punishment he would get from his superiors.

Erend looked at the man with a suspicious face. "Somehow, I can't believe you."

Then Erend forcefully searched the man's body. The man initially tried to resist. But he remembered how terrifying Erend's strength was as soon as Erend looked into his eyes.

The man had gone through many tense moments in his tenure. However, Erend's figure felt a more terrifying pressure than anything he had ever experienced.

A moment later Erend found a cell phone in the man's trouser pocket.

But as soon as Erend took the cell phone, he heard the sound of something being thrown from the window outside. It rolled close to Erend and then exploded out white smoke that spread instantaneously.

The white smoke immediately covered Erend's vision. Erend could only hear the sound of someone breaking down the door and then approaching.

Erend is prepared to take a hit and intends to immediately reply. However, the blow never came. He only heard the sound of two people walking towards the door.

"Shit!"

Erend stretched his hand towards the man earlier. But he was no longer there.
