Time passed minute by minute.
The last rays of the setting sun shone through the window, painting the solid wood table in a layer of red, reflecting Zarukhar's image in his office.
Zarukhar's face was expressionless as he waited patiently with a stiff expression.
In his hand was a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
The rich aroma of the coffee filled the room, but Zarukhar did not savor it as he usually did.
He felt uneasy.
Something bad was about to happen.
Zarukhar trusted his instincts very much.
He had escaped death several times in the past.
This time, he did not think there would be any accidents.
But first, he had to know what was going on.
"What could it be?"
Zarukhar thought with a frown.
Subconsciously, he thought of the rats and bugs in the sewers.
"Impossible. Hank and his team could have easily taken him out!"
Zarukhar shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.
How could an armed thug who relied on petty tricks be a match for real soldiers?
Plus, it was a team of soldiers!
It would just take some effort to dig the guy out of the gutter.
Zarukhar laughed at himself for making a fuss.
Just as he was about to think about what had gone wrong, his phone rang.
The white screen showed the caller: The Vulture.
Zarukhar held his breath for a moment.
Then Zarukhar picked up the phone.
This time, he did not speak right away. He was waiting for Kieran to speak first.
He did not believe that his men would fail.
Therefore, he had to figure out what was going on!
"Aren't you still waiting for your subordinates to show up? Let me tell you, there's no need to wait! They're all in hell! And you'll follow them! Not only did my new collaborator offer me a better deal, he even agreed to my request! I can't wait to see you die a horrible death, you untrustworthy bastard! "
Kieran spoke quickly, his voice filled with venom.
After saying all this, Kieran did not wait for Zarukhar's reply. He hung up the phone and removed the battery.
When Zarukhar called again, he heard the familiar sound of the phone being turned off.
"Damn it!"
Zarukhar angrily threw his phone on the ground.
But he quickly calmed down.
He did not believe that the rat and bug in the gutter could deceive him.
However, just to be safe, Zarukhar had to be careful.
"Adjutant, contact Hank!"
"Yes, sir!"
The aide-de-camp, who was trembling with fear, immediately replied.
He realized that his superior was getting more and more furious in the past few days.
Was the situation really that bad?
As Zarukhar's adjutant, he was rather well-informed.
However, the adjutant kept all these thoughts to himself as he followed Zarukhar's orders.
A few minutes later, the adjutant reported his results.
"Sir, I can't get in touch. Other than Captain Hank, I've tried using the other team members' walkie-talkies, but I can't get in touch with them!"
"Damn it! Send a team of scouts to the ruins and see what's going on! "
Zarukhar cursed, but he did not give up.
"Yes, sir!"
After the adjutant saluted, he quickly walked out.
Instantly, Zarukhar was left alone in the office.
He tried to recall what Kieran had told him on the phone.
"Someone saved that rat and bug in the gutter? And you even promised that guy to kill me? "
Zarukhar squinted, trying to figure out who this person could be.
There were not many people who could detect his men and kill Hank's team without attracting too much attention.
The most likely one was …
General Zennings!
Only the general knew that he was working with the Vulture.
In fact, half of the jewels in the bag had belonged to the general. Zarukhar had made a deal with General Zennings. If he paid the price, General Zennings would take everything he owned.
General Zennings had a way out of the city!
It was not a secret.
At least, the higher ups of the Rebel Army knew about it.
It was also because of this that these important figures were playing the negotiation game with the government and the army unhurriedly.
That's right, the Rebel Army and the government were already on the negotiating table.
That was why Zarukhar had urged the Vulture to hurry.
But now …
Zarukhar's chest was heaving up and down as he breathed heavily.
He was furious!
Because he was like a clown being toyed with in the palm of others' hands!
"Zennings!"
Zarukhar gritted his teeth and growled. His eyes shone with a dangerous light, like an injured wolf.
Now, not only did he lose a huge amount of wealth, but he was also in great danger.
Zarukhar knew Zennings very well.
Since General Zennings had made a move on the bag of jewels, he would not let him go.
If he didn't want to die without knowing the reason, he had to do something!
"You forced me to do this!"
Zarukhar muttered angrily to himself, and then shouted, "Adjutant! Put the entire camp on alert and standby! "
It was not Zarukhar's style to sit back and wait for death.
He swore that anyone who wanted to go against him would have to pay a heavy price.
Even one of the leaders of the Rebel Army was no exception.
As long as his scouts returned, there would be a conclusion to all of this!
…
Hiding in the shadows of the ruins, Kieran saw the changes in the camp not far away. Coupled with the fact that a group of Rebel Army soldiers had left, he knew that his plan to sow discord had worked.
When Kieran had found out about the Trickster's identity, he had come up with this plan.
The fact that General Zennings had planted a spy in Zarukhar's troops, and the Trickster's evaluation of Zarukhar showed that although they were on the same side, they were not on good terms.
At least, it was not as bad as it looked.
Zarukhar had thought that he could hide everything from General Zennings.
General Zennings, on the other hand, thought that he could control everything.
Between the two of them, all it would take was a small spark to cause a huge explosion.
Kieran did not mind being that small spark.
So, when he was on the phone with Zarukhar, not only did he speak vaguely, he did not even give Zarukhar a chance to speak before he hung up.
Because Kieran knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Zarukhar was a strong man. He would not believe you just because you said enough!
He would only believe what he saw! What he thought!
Even if it was a mistake, he would still believe it.
As for General Zennings?
Kieran could almost guess what General Zennings would do to Zarukhar. Especially when he could not contact the Trickster, an internal conflict between the Rebel Army seemed to be inevitable.
What Kieran needed to do next was to remove the word "seemed" from his mind.
Only in this way could he complete his plan!
Not only did he want to kill Zarukhar, but General Zennings had also become his target.
As soon as the word "General Zennings" came up, Kieran was ready to do just that.
To increase his dungeon rating!
Because that was the only way he could achieve his goal of entering this underground game: to earn as much money as possible to cure his illness.
Of course, it was not an easy task.
But Kieran did not want to give up.
He still had too many expectations and fantasies about his life.
Taking a deep breath, Kieran quickly discarded the messy thoughts in his mind. His eyes looked at the last bit of the sun in the sky. Looking down, Kieran looked at the sniper rifle in his hand.
[Name: Viper-M1]
[Type: Firearm]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attack: Strong]
[Magazine Capacity: 5 Rounds]
[Attributes: 1. Armor Penetration Lvl 1; 2. Super Range Shooting Lvl 2]
[Special Effects: None]
[Prerequisites: Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm (Basic)]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

...
[Armor Penetration Lvl 1: Able to easily penetrate light armor]
[Super Long Range Strike Lv2: 1 kilometer is its effective range.]
...
Unlike the special combination sniper rifle, the [Viper-M1] before Kieran's eyes showed how scary a real sniper rifle was. Not only did it have two special attributes, but it also had a powerful attack.
According to the system description, other than the [U-2] hand grenade, which had a Strong attack, even the [M12] assault rifle was only Average.
However, the [Viper-M1] before Kieran's eyes was also in the Strong category.
Even though it had two special attributes added to it, its own attack was still scary enough. Anyone who took a shot from it would have no chance of survival.
Even though Kieran had the same 150 HP as the Deceiver, it was useless.
As his HP recovered, Kieran suddenly realized that the 20 HP that he had gained was not all. It was 50 HP!
The reason for this was because the system had used the original 100 HP as a percentage. Since Kieran's Constitution had increased by one level, he now had 150 HP.
His stamina had also changed.
Of course, his attributes and equipment had also changed.
Kieran opened his character tab and looked at it carefully.
