Chapter 231 - 231: 231 Young Master of the Waters Family
In a dark alley, two middle-aged guards wearing leather armor and holding longswords blocked the entrance with their bodies while shouting loudly.
About ten meters behind them, a young man and a young woman were running as fast as they could.
Upon closer inspection, both the young man and woman appeared to be around twenty years old.
The young man had a delicate face and wore a set of brown noble clothing, holding a short magic wand in his hand.
As for the young woman, she had her hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing guard leather armor and holding a longsword in her hand.
Hearing this, the panic-stricken young nobleman quickly turned his head to shout, “Be careful!”
However, just after his voice fell, several sharp flashes of light streaked by.
The two middle-aged guards blocking the entrance of the alley suddenly stiffened and fell face-first into pools of blood with a bewildered look on their faces.
“Did they really think such trash could stop us?
A sharp and fierce voice sounded immediately afterward.
Then in the next second, accompanied by a gust of murderous wind. Inside the small alley, eight black-clothed assassins wielding short blades chased atter the young man and woman at high speed, closing in rapidly. “Young master, you go ahead. I’ll stay here and fight!”
Seeing this scene, the young female guard gritted her teeth, ready to stop.
However, to her surprise, she found that a group of nonchalant figures had suddenly appeared not far in front of her.
In the chaos, the young female guard noticed.
These people were all dressed simply, looking like ordinary civilians.
However, none of them showed any fear in the face of the murderous black-clothed men. Instead, they all stood motionless in their places.
“Have these civilians been scared out of their wits?”
Thinking of this, the young female guard quickly shouted, “Get out of here! These guys won’t show mercy, even to civilians!”
Following that, the young male nobleman next to her panicked as well: “Hurry up and run with me, they are all killers behind us!”
“Hehehe, it’s a pity, there won’t be any survivors to witness our target being hunted. Nobody can escape today, you will all die right here!”
On the other side, the leading black-clothed man sneered coldly, mocking, “If you really want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being so blind and appearing here…”
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt his eyes being pierced by an icy glare that made it hard for him to keep them open.
In the next second, the leading black-clothed assassin felt a sweetness in his throat and revealed a face full of disbelief, falling to the ground with a twisted expression on his face.
At the same time, accompanied by a series of chilling winds.
Amidst the storm of blood and gore, the remaining seven black-clothed assassins fell to the ground with horrified expressions on their faces, clutching their throats, unable to figure out what had just happened.
It was only at this point that two slender figures finally came into full view.
It was Serena and Stella, along with Abigail and Amelia.
As for those standing nonchalantly earlier, they were naturally their own people disguised under illusion cloaks.
Having heard the strange sounds behind them and feeling puzzled, the young man and woman couldn’t help but look back.
They happened to see all of the black-clothed men lying at the feet of the four strong people on their side.
This scene caused the young man and woman to stare in shock.
Both of them involuntarily stopped running, panting heavily, and began to look at each other in bewilderment.
When did these people, who had just been in the crowd of civilians in front of them, move to the back?
What was more crucial was that all those black-clothed men who had been pursuing them belonged to the level of Tier 2 Peak powerhouses!
Just now, the eight Tier 2 Peak powerhouses who were so aggressive were easily wiped out in a blink of an eye?
At this moment, both the young male nobleman and the young female bodyguard had shock written all over their faces.
They never expected that these ordinary-looking civilians would possess such terrifying strength !
While the two of them were dumbfounded,
Serena and Stella and the others had returned to Leo Ray, bowed respectfully before him, and silently returned to their ranks.
“So strong…”
It wasn’t until now that the two who were rescued so easily by their own side reacted.
Only a Tier 3 powerhouse, no, at least a Tier 3 Senior powerhouse could instantly kill eight Tier 2 Peak powerhouses like this.
“Four Tier 3 senior powerhouses ! ”
Amidst the shock, they noticed the respectful movement of Serena and the others just now.
The young male noble couldn’t help but lick his somewhat dry lips and quickly bowed to Leo Ray, saying, “Thank you for your help, Your Excellency!” “Alright, let’s go somewhere else to talk.”
Looking at the miserable young man and woman before him, Leo Ray smiled indifferently and nodded slightly.
In this manner, a short while later,
under the guidance of the young female bodyguard, their party arrived at an abandoned, rundown warehouse to serve as a temporary resting place.
As for whether or not they would be pursued again, Leo Ray didn’t care.
Among their group of ten, including Leo Ray himself, there were eight Tier 3 powerhouses, plus Taylor and Gideon Black hidden beneath invisibility cloaks.
In addition, Leo carried more than two hundred attack magic scrolls and a magic cannon, among other deadly weapons.
Not to mention the insignificant pursuers, even the entire Maron City’s power couldn’t hinder them at all.
“Your Excellency, may I ask who you are?”
As soon as they entered the warehouse, the young male noble was still catching his breath and carefully asked Leo Ray.
However, in the next second, he realized that he might have been too abrupt, and immediately bowed again, saying, “My name is Joceline Waters, thank you once again for saving my life!”
“Lord, Joceline Waters is the young master of the Waters Family and the only heir to the current City Lord.”
On the other side, Linda whispered in Leo Ray’s ear, “It seems that in this internal struggle, the City Lord’s side is clearly at a disadvantage.”
Nodding slightly at Linda, Leo Ray didn’t immediately respond, but turned his gaze to the young female bodyguard beside him.
Noticing Leo Ray’s gaze, the young nobleman named Joceline hurriedly introduced her, “Your Excellency, this is my personal bodyguard Bella White.”
Then, the young female guard named Bella White bowed to Leo Ray without any negligence.
It was undeniable that the young man in front of them, who had four Tier 3 powerhouses at his service, was someone she could only look up to!
But an even more shocking event happened.
“Alright, come out.”
On the other side, Leo Ray waved his hand slightly.
Then, Taylor and Gideon Black, hidden under the invisibility cloak, appeared and stood respectfully to one side.
In the next moment, at Leo Ray’s signal,
In an instant, two waves of overwhelming momentum surged out of the two of them.
Continuously spreading throughout the completely isolated, rundown warehouse.
Looking at the utterly shocked young nobleman and female bodyguard, Leo Ray smiled indifferently before finally saying, “Joceline, do you want to take back your family’s castle?”
