"Of course, we're going to take out those bastards and rescue them!"
The hot-tempered Luo Zhen shouted angrily, "Daring to mess with our martial arts school, they must be tired of living!"
"How are we going to rescue them? Just charge in? What if they kill the hostages?" the oldest, Huang Quan, asked in a deep voice. "And the dock is so big. Do you know where they're hiding?"
"I… but we can't just sit here and wait! Who knows what they'll do to them? If we wait until tonight, it might be too late!" Luo Zhen said anxiously. "We can't really let Wang Kun go alone, can we?"
Hearing this, Wang Kun clenched his fists even tighter, his eyes red with rage. "I have to go alone. No matter what, I must rescue them!"
"No!"
Albert stopped him.
"You're walking into a trap! These people are clearly targeting our martial arts school. They want to take us down one by one!" Albert held back the agitated Wang Kun, pressing his shoulder. "The dock is definitely already set up with an ambush, just waiting for you to walk into it!"
"Then what should we do?" Wang Kun asked, feeling lost. He knew the risks, but with his family in the enemy's hands, he felt he had no choice but to take the risk.
"If only the master were here," Han Qing said, thinking of Chen Mo. "He would know what to do."
Everyone's eyes lit up at the thought, but then dimmed again. The master was far away in Europe, and even if he knew, he couldn't help immediately.
The atmosphere fell into silence.
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears.
"I think I heard someone talking about me?"
Everyone quickly turned to the door. There, standing in the doorway that Wang Kun had left open, was a tall and imposing figure. His cold face, sharp eyes, and the intense killing intent emanating from him created a powerful presence. But to the people in the martial arts school, it brought a deep sense of relief, like a small boat finding a safe harbor in a storm.
"Master!"
"Young Master!"
"You're finally back!"
Chen Mo was puzzled by everyone's excitement. Although he had been away for more than half a year, it didn't seem necessary to miss him this much.
"What happened?" Chen Mo asked as he walked in, revealing Howard behind him.
Howard curiously looked around the martial arts school's furnishings and followed Chen Mo to sit by the sofa.
Seeing their backbone, everyone felt relieved. Old Albert explained the situation to Chen Mo, and then they all looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to make a decision.
After listening to Albert, Chen Mo's eyes flashed with killing intent, and the people around him felt the air suddenly grow colder.
Although he was far away in Europe, Chen Mo had been keeping an eye on the situation in New York through Hydra. During his absence, the Brooklyn mafia had become restless again.
According to Hydra's intelligence, the two major mafia families in Brooklyn had started making moves half a month ago. After the lesson from "Mad Dog" Tony, they didn't dare to act rashly but secretly incited other forces to target the martial arts school. This was one of the reasons for Chen Mo's return.
This kidnapping was a test of the martial arts school's strength and an attempt to eliminate a powerful force.
Chen Mo felt a bit guilty. He was aware of the mafia's movements but assumed they would target the martial arts school directly. He had made preparations for this, with Huang Quan and the others inside the school and Hydra agents around it, ready to eliminate any intruders. These were backup plans that wouldn't be easily exposed unless necessary.
With Albert's steadiness, the martial artists' skills and marksmanship, and the weapons Chen Mo had left behind, they could handle most situations.
However, Chen Mo hadn't anticipated that the enemy would target Wang Kun's family. This was a point he had overlooked. He had thought from his own perspective, assuming they would attack the martial arts school directly, without considering the mafia's lack of scruples.
This served as a reminder to Chen Mo to protect those around him meticulously, leaving no potential vulnerabilities.
At the same time, Chen Mo was secretly relieved that he had returned in time, preventing any irreversible consequences.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo looked at the old butler and asked, "Eddie, if I hadn't come back, what would you have done?"
Old Albert unbuttoned his suit and drew two pistols from under his arms.
"After dark, we'll sneak into the dock and rescue them first," he said, his demeanor changing with the guns in his hands. "Then, we'll take them all out!"
It was true that being around Chen Mo had changed old Albert significantly. He had transformed from an artistic old scholar into an elegant yet fierce top agent.
Chen Mo couldn't help but carefully observe Albert. This was the first time he had seen such a tough side of him. It turned out that Eddie had a warrior's spirit deep down.
Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Mo stood up from the sofa.
"Then what are we waiting for? Grab your gear!"
Huang Quan and the others quickly ran upstairs to get their guns. Unlike Albert, they didn't carry their guns with them all the time.
Once everyone was ready, they followed Chen Mo towards the door with determination.
At that moment, a timid voice spoke up.
"Um, can I come too?" Howard, who had been ignored the whole time, asked eagerly. "I'm pretty good with a gun!"
Although he was always busy with research, Howard secretly longed for combat. However, the battlefield was too risky, and for the sake of his own life, he had sensibly avoided it.
But hearing the old butler's story, it seemed they were going to rescue someone from the mafia. This small-scale battle was an opportunity Howard couldn't resist. He knew how formidable Chen Mo was, and with him leading, there would be no problem. Howard could just enjoy the fight.
Chen Mo had initially planned to leave Howard at the martial arts school, but seeing his eager expression, he nodded.
"Alright, wait a moment."
Chen Mo went upstairs and soon came back down with a pile of items.
"Clang!"
With a heavy thud, Chen Mo dropped the items on the floor, causing the ground to shake.
Curious, everyone gathered around. Howard picked up one of the items and looked at it, then turned to Chen Mo with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't this the bulletproof armor you designed?"
