"Come on! Order them to shoot!" Howard grabbed a gun barrel and put it to his head, glaring at the officer and saying, "If I die, you'll be seen as a worthless person in the eyes of those powerful people in the Top Nest who can't even do a trivial task like arresting someone in the Middle Nest. I'm giving you two choices. Either kill me, or I'll go with you but let them go."

Although he was attacked by Howard, the power gap between the two sides was too big. Howard hit him like a child hitting an adult, so the officer did not suffer any substantial harm at all.

It is easy for people to show so-called grace when they are in good times and have an advantage, because these graces have no impact on the situation and can also create a good image of elegance and cultivation for themselves.

But there are very few people who can maintain their composure in the face of anger and disadvantage.

This officer was obviously not one of the latter. Although Howard's attack did not cause any substantial damage to his body, it hit him hard in the heart. His face no longer had the previous elegance and composure. His face turned red like a persimmon, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled constantly. It seemed that he was almost at the limit of his endurance.

"I'm telling you one last time, either kill all of us or let them go!" Howard let go of the gun barrel, grabbed the officer's collar and yelled at him.

Now Howard and his team are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of force, but in terms of momentum, Howard has vaguely overwhelmed the opponent.

Arabelle and Adeline watched Howard's behavior and were very surprised and even shocked.

Originally, in their eyes... especially Adeline's eyes, Howard was just a slippery human with unknown powers. She never thought that Howard could have such a vicious side.

The officer who was pinned under Howard could no longer bear it. He grabbed Howard and threw him to the ground, then pounced on... the soldier who pounced on him. He punched the soldier in the abdomen, then knocked the soldier to the ground with a knee, and then punched and kicked him like a sandbag.

At first the soldiers could still scream and beg for mercy, but soon their voices fell silent.

After a long while, the officer vented his anger, he breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and restored his calm and elegant image.

"Mr. Chef, I agree to your request." The officer reached out and pulled Howard up from the ground.

"I want to see you uncuff them and let them go." Howard pressed on.

"That won't work," the officer refused. "Even if I break their legs and let them go, they might still contact their accomplices to hinder me. I can take them with me and release them when we are almost out of the nest."

Seeing Howard still hesitating, the officer added, "I swear on my last name, Adrian, that I will keep this promise. You are our main target in this operation. I am a soldier and a nobleman. These two little thieves are not worthy of bringing disgrace upon my family."

"I want you to promise that before we leave the Middle Nest this time, you will release them both alive and intact." Howard said again, avoiding any room for word games.

"I promise," Adrien replied.

Howard didn't press any further and was escorted into the car with Arabelle and Adeline. Adrien also got into the same car, but he sat in the passenger seat in front of the partition.

The armored vehicle was deployed with a full complement of personnel, and originally only one empty seat was left for Howard, the main target of the mission. Especially with the addition of two dangerous people and a seriously injured soldier lying on the ground, the space inside the vehicle became even more cramped.

Arabelle and Adeline were given two special seats because they were dangerous people. In addition to being handcuffed, they were also locked to the seats with detention chains.

Howard was left crammed in with a group of large men. Luckily, the armored vehicle they were using was designed to be stealthy, quiet, and adaptable to Zhongchao's harsh road conditions. It had anti-gravity levitation, so the ride wasn't too bumpy. If it had used tires or tracks like a regular armored vehicle, the moon-like road conditions would have been so bad that even a slight jolt would have squashed Howard like a potato chip among those steely men.

Arabelle glanced at Howard and Adeline, and in her mind she was calculating how to escape from here, and what preparations she would have to make if she went to the nest to rescue Howard if he was really taken away.

Thinking of this, she secretly hid her robotic arm behind her back. Because she was sitting in the innermost row facing right, no one noticed her little action.

Her left hand had undergone semi-mechanical modification, and it would require extremely complicated steps to remove it. At the same time, because of Howard's threat, Adrian did not cut off Arabelle's left hand roughly, but only checked and removed all the weapons and equipment on it.

But Arabelle had already anticipated a similar situation, so she had an additional retractable blade on the wrist of her robotic hand, made of the finest materials and only half the size of a finger.

She called it a "cut-throat knife."

Because the knife is too short, it is difficult to knock someone down with one blow unless the throat is cut.

She originally kept this knife to use in the future when she was defeated and the opponent was complacent and less alert, so as to strike back and kill him... or to use it to commit suicide.

Neither Adeline nor Howard shifted their gaze to Arabelle, but both understood Arabelle's intention.

"Human, I want to apologize for my previous comments about you." Then Adeline suddenly said to Howard: "Your seemingly foolish behavior may hide a deeper meaning that we cannot perceive."

As Adeline spoke, the soldiers around her cautiously raised their guns to prevent the Eldar from playing any tricks.

"Shut up! Behave!" One of the soldiers, whose rank was one more than the soldiers around him, shouted, while opening the safety of his gun.

"Calm down, calm down." Howard quickly stepped in to ease the atmosphere. "It's not dangerous to just talk. This place is so cramped, and the air is filled with the stench of you all. If I'm not even allowed to chat, I might go crazy."

Howard's words were addressed to the co-pilot Adrian. The soldier with a higher rank looked at Adrian and saw that his superior had no clear objection, so he slowly put down his gun.

"Can you elves have children with humans?" Howard asked, changing the subject. He knew that this kind of sexually suggestive topic was what humans liked to hear the most.

"Human, you asked this question and showed your bravery just now. Are you in love with me?" Adeline was very cooperative.

Howard shook his head: "No, although you are not ugly, I don't like small ones. I am just curious."

"Unfortunately, no," Adeline replied. "For our people to conceive and form an embryo, they need to continuously receive genetic information from the father for a long period of time, and your human body is not capable of this."

"What about the male Eldar and human women?" Curious baby Howard continued to ask.

"No, that won't work. There's no genetic connection between us. The man's genetic information would be treated as an invading virus by the woman's immune system. Furthermore, the human female immune system might not be able to eliminate our genetic information. Your compatriots might die." After a pause, Adeline continued, "Besides, we're not of the same species. Would you humans have sex with a fish?"

Howard almost laughed. An Eldar pretended to be innocent and asked such a question in front of him.

Howard replied in his heart, I don't know if humans would have sex with a fish, but you Eldar definitely would, and the ways you do it would be hundreds of times bigger than this, otherwise Slaanesh would not be awakened by the noise made by your stupid race.

But Howard hesitated for a moment before answering: "Uh...why not?"

And Adeline pretended to be shocked, just as Howard expected.

As the carload of people listened intently to the gossip, Arabelle's slit throat knife finally cut through the handcuffs and chains that bound her.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a huge figure fell from the sky and hit the front of the armored vehicle. The huge impact caused the armored vehicle to lose control and roll over.

Well, here comes another group of people, we can play mahjong together.
