Chad felt a pang of sympathy for Nancy.Nevertheless, he said, "You shouldn't have come. Kennington is too dangerous right now. From now on, stay with me, and don't go anywhere."Nancy nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Chad."She suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed Chad's hand. "Oh, Matilda is here too. Will she be in danger as well?""She won't be in danger," Tanner said. "Matilda is Zayan's granddaughter, and our director is protecting her."Nancy glanced at Tanner, and the little white fox on her lap started making a fuss. She seemed to understand the fox's message and looked at Tanner with distrust.That made Tanner uncomfortable—the worst thing for a Mystic Bureau Nine agent and bodyguard was losing the trust of those they were protecting.At that moment, Tanner suddenly covered his ear with an earpiece, the loud voice audible even to Chad and Nancy."Campbell Alley is under attack, requesting immediate support! Campbell Alley... requesting support..."Tann
Tanner angrily pushed the car door open and stormed up to Koi Hadachi, lifting him by his collar. "Old man, are you looking to die?"Chad, however, was drenched in cold sweat, his back soaked. He was not afraid of enemies stronger than him or threats to his loved ones.However, facing an enemy like Koi, who could never truly be killed, terrified him. Chad had witnessed Koi being struck by lightning and reduced to ashes at Mount Gentleman, so he could not understand how Koi was still alive.As he snapped back to his senses, Chad quickly warned Tanner, "Come back, it's dangerous!"Confident in Mystic Bureau Nine training, Tanner dismissed the warning. "Dangerous? This old man? What's the danger?"Just as he finished speaking, Tanner stumbled a few steps backward, staring in horror at his chest.Koi cackled and said, "Just like this—if you press from both sides, the stuff inside won't fall out."Chad could not see what had happened, but he saw Tanner's shirt split down the middle,
Koi was taken aback, not understanding why Chad would self-harm, but he still took two steps back.Chad, however, smiled and said, "Corpse Tailors focus on controlling corpses. They can't show their true body, so this isn't your true body!"Koi panicked, clearly indicating that Chad had guessed correctly. "And to control a corpse, your true body can't be too far away, so it must be nearby!"Chad formed a hand seal and placed his sword fingers on the wound on his forehead. "Clairvoyant Eye, activate!"As Chad spoke, his forehead bulged, and a vertical eye appeared. The eye had three differently colored pupils, and as soon as it appeared, the surrounding fog dissipated instantly. A primordial beast-like aura emanated from Chad, making everyone present shiver in fear.A sharp cat's cry echoed from a distance near the car. When Chad heard it, his face lit up with a smug smile, and Koi began to tremble.Unexpectedly, Koi said, "Alright, I'll withdraw this time!"Chad was not about to
"Where are they, and who are you?" Chad started to ask, but the call was abruptly cut off.He then noticed two messages from Matilda. One was a location pin, and the other was a photo of Matilda and Naomi lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.Chad quickly made a decision. He set the navigation and started the car, deciding to head to the location Matilda had sent. He reasoned that Campbell Alley, an important government area, would be heavily guarded by then.The attackers would not stay there, so Matilda and Naomi must have been moved. Chad had to check whether the location was a trap or not.The car roared to life and sped away. Tanner, leaning against the tree, pulled out his phone and made a call. "Director, something's happened. You need to check Zayan's place immediately!"Meanwhile, Campbell Alley was in chaos, with bodies strewn across the ground. A square-faced man burst into Zayan's courtyard, searching inside and out but finding no one. He angrily picked up his ph
In less than two minutes, Chad had taken down everyone and was standing in front of a horrified Tiffany. She quickly regained her composure, stubbornly raising her head. "Go ahead and kill me if you dare, but don't expect me to release them.""Fine, I'll oblige," Chad said, raising his hand to strike Tiffany's head."Dr. Jennings, you can't kill her!" Sutton shouted. "She has cursed them. Only she can lift it!"Chad's hand stopped just above Tiffany's head. He glanced at the unconscious Matilda and Naomi. "The Hibernation spell. This isn't poison; it's witchcraft."As soon as Chad finished speaking, he smelled a strange fragrance. A wave of irresistible drowsiness overcame him, making him feel sleepy.Tiffany smirked triumphantly. "That's right, this is the Hibernation spell. Those affected by it will sleep like snakes in hibernation. Sleep now!"Thud!Chad tried to resist but succumbed to the spell's influence and fell asleep.Tiffany walked over and kicked Chad a couple of ti
As night fell, Amity Gate was bustling with traffic as ambassadors from various countries gathered there. Inside the Whitestone Hall within Amity Gate, the entire Hacniane cabinet was present.Ambassadors from all over the world were also present. Saffronesia had finally provoked the world's strongest powers.An hour earlier, Saffronesia had shaken the world leaders by issuing a second announcement declaring they would broadcast their delegation's visit to the celestial realm.The announcement also revealed that the Saffronesia delegation had already reached the celestial realm and had sent back some videos. As a result, leaders from all countries received three video clips from the celestial realm.The Whitestone Hall was filled with constant arguments, with most people questioning the Battle of the Sky."We've been fighting for 50 years, all countries involved, with many lives lost, but there's no hope of victory in sight. If diplomacy is an option, we should consider it.""If
Almost simultaneously, Third Grandpa Fox appeared and said, "The Fox family's guardian immortals are here to help!"Chad said, "Thank you. I need to go back and rescue them."However, Third Grandpa Fox stopped him. "No rush. It's good that they're unconscious. I'll arrange for the Fox family members to send them into the snake tunnels. It's safer there than outside."He was not wrong. The undercurrents in Kennington were dangerous, and those Saffronesians dared to massacre the Hacniane cabinet members for their own purposes.Chad was impatient when he thought about that. He said, "I'll leave it to you, Third Grandpa Fox. I have to go."Then, the entire subway station started to shake—an earthquake in Kennington!Then came the voice of Lord Fifth. "The Fox family's guardian immortals are here, so it's just the right time for the Python Family to come too!"Lord Fifth, a Heavenly Dragon, had transformed into his human form and walked out from the subway's depths. Behind him follow
Luca looked at Chad's confident demeanor and smiled. "It seems they don't want us to get out. The safest bet is to leave through the subway tunnel!"Chad smiled. "Let's do it your way, Luca. I'll open up the tunnel!"Then, he jumped off the platform and disappeared into the tunnel in the blink of an eye.Boom! Boom! Boom!After a few loud bangs from the tunnel's end, a gust of wind blew through it. The wind, caused by the movement of air, indicated that the tunnel had been cleared.Luca, a mystic proficient in formations, knew he could also clear such a blocked tunnel. However, doing it as quickly as Chad did was beyond him. Listening to the commotion in the tunnel, Luca was astonished at how Chad accomplished it.Covering his nose and mouth, Luca called out into the dust-filled tunnel, "Hey kid, how did you do that?"After a long wait without a response, Luca could not resist jumping off the platform to look into the dark tunnel. He stood there, stunned, as he watched Chad walk
