BXBX NOVEL Chapter 110
Clang!
The violent sound of metals colliding echoed.
One of the newcomers is a buff man with scars all over his exposed arms, while the other person is a middle-aged man in dressed in a black shirt with purple sun patterns. These two were Vhincent and Gustavo, the two big bosses of the Northern Viper Group!
“Boss Gustavo, Boss Vhincent!” Ricardo was pleasantly surprised.
Gustavo and Vhincent didn’t spare him a glance. The black-clothed man standing before them is very dangerous and one single mistake would be fatal for them. They could tell that this guy is a peak Level 4 Esper! Even if they joined hands to fight against him, they would still be defeated.
“Ricardo, retreat with us! There is no time to waste! This guy must have been sent here by Ragnar! We are not his match!” Vhincent muttered in a solemn tone. His words made Ricardo shocked because their big boss, Gustavo, didn’t say anything. That means he also agreed with Vhincent’s words!
Dimitri’s eyes narrowed into slits as he glanced at the two. One is a mid Level 4 Esper while the other is a late Level 4 Esper. “Gustavo... You’ve finally shown your face...” He uttered in a cold tone.
Gustavo’s face turned serious when he felt Dimitri’s piercing gaze. “Vhincent, activate the Escape Rune!”
.....
Vhincent nodded his head gravely and took out something from his storage ring. He then grabbed the injured Ricardo and poured his world essence into the item that looked like a cube.
The cube emitted a powerful wave of world essence that enveloped the three bandit leaders.
Seeing this, Dimitri knew that they were planning to escape. He dashed towards them, but the figure of the three was starting to blur. He frowned and immediately threw his twin crescent blades in their direction.
Gustavo waved his halberd and grunted fiercely. “We’ll meet again.” He muttered with a smile after somehow blocking the two crescent blades.
The figure of the three bandit leaders then vanished into thin air.
Dimitri took his crescent blades that dropped on the ground. He then moved his gaze to the second prince and shook his head as he said. “They used a 4th-Grade Escape Rune. We won’t be able to find them here anymore.” He was also surprised that the bandits actually owned such a high-level rune. Items like that are rare and even if one has money, it would be difficult to find a seller. After all, only Level 4 Engravers can make runes at that level!
Prince Calvin nodded his head. He didn’t blame Dimitri. Anyone would be helpless if their enemies used the same item to escape. “Let’s quickly end things here and return to Lion City to report this matter to His Majesty.” They have already attacked the other hideouts of the Northern Viper Group and the only one left is their main headquarters. However, they still haven’t found it since they always changed locations.
***
Inside a mansion in another city, three figures suddenly appeared.
Gustavo spat a mouthful of blood and he used his halberd to stabilize his footing. After blocking Dimitri’s crescent blades, he realized the massive difference in their power!
“Boss! Are you alright?” Vhincent immediately stepped forward to help Gustavo after seeing him spitting blood. It was the first time he had seen his boss in such a miserable state.
Gustavo waved his hand and sat down on the sofa. He then wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips. “I didn’t know that the Leone Empire is actually hiding an expert at that level. Only the guardian of our Ford Empire can fight him.” He muttered in a grave tone. The last attack of Dimitri scared him and he even had to use a large portion of his world essence to block the crescent blades. Despite that, he was still injured!
Vhincent agreed with his words. The guardian of their Ford Empire is also peak Level 4 Esper!
“Have someone heal Ricardo’s wounds.” Gustavo moved his gaze to Ricardo. This man is still useful and they even used one of their Escape Runes to save him. Now, he only has one Escape Rune in his possession.
Vhincent nodded his head and helped the limping Ricardo to walk out of the room.
After they left, Gustavo spat another mouthful of blood. “Dammit! That guy is too strong!” He then took out a healing pill from his storage ring and consumed it. His complexion looked much better after eating the pill.
He grabbed a communication device and hesitated. In the end, he gritted his teeth and activated the device.
“Gustavo, why did you call me?” A deep voice sounded behind the communication device.
“Your Majesty, let’s proceed with Plan B. We can no longer afford to wait for those spies to make their move. The Leone Imperial Family has already mobilized their forces and they even sent a peak Level 4 expert to attack one of our strongholds. We can no longer handle the situation here on our own.”
The other end of the call was silent for a moment before he answered. “Alright. Regroup your remaining troops and wait for my call. I will look for the emperor of the Dustin Empire and tell him about this. Don’t show yourselves for the time being.”
Gustavo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
The call ended and Gustavo kept his communication device.
“Let’s see how the Leone Empire would respond after knowing that two empires are attacking them!” He muttered coldly. He believed that the Leone Empire was destined to perish under the combined might of their Ford Empire and the Dustin Empire. And as someone who spearheaded this mission, he was bound to gain a lot of merits. He could already picture out the grand welcoming of his fellow citizens the moment he return to their empire.
