Chapter: Chapter 29
“Natsu, are you talking about chasing a thief?”
“With this speed, can he be an ordinary thief?”
“You two stop wasting time, keep an eye on him, don’t let him get away!”
The trio was currently sprinting down the street. The pedestrians on the road, frightened by their ferocious expressions, made way for them, which made their pursuit much less troublesome.
Their target was a person completely wrapped in black cloth, holding a small black safe in his arms, with no one knowing what was inside.
As for how things had turned into this, it was a long story.
Ten minutes ago, after Xia Hongying requested reinforcements from the association, Huang Mao proposed a plan to wait for the rabbit.
“Why don’t we just go to the place where the incident happened and block that person, how about it?”
“That’s a good idea.” Xia Xia did not refuse this time. “Let me see… um, it’s that place ahead, that person will rush out from here in a moment.”
Xia Xia pointed to a dim alleyway and said, “Be careful, that person might be carrying a weapon.”
The three of them squatted at the exit of the alleyway amidst the confused gazes of the surrounding crowd. For safety, the black-haired girl had specifically placed several rope net traps at the alley entrance.
How could this possibly fail?
As a result, the three of them never expected that the guy would not come out of the alley but would break through a window of a small building next to it.
It could only be said that Xia Xia’s prediction of the location had a slight deviation this time.
The trio and the black-clothed man who broke through the window made eye contact, and for a moment, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
The black-clothed man did not expect anyone to be waiting for him at the exit, and the trio did not expect this person to make such a dramatic entrance.
A second later, Huang Mao was the first to react and pounced directly at the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man immediately reacted. He threw a few round objects on the ground, and instantly, gray smoke engulfed his figure.
However, the smoke was quickly dispersed by the wind manipulated by Lu Siyu. At this time, the black-clothed man had already run nearly fifty meters away.
Thus, a chase began.
The black-clothed man ran in front, and the trio chased behind. The distance between the two sides was always maintained at an awkward fifty meters.
Chase, but you can’t catch up; run, but you can’t escape.
People who didn’t know the situation might have thought these guys were competing in a long-distance race on the street.
“Stop right there!” Huang Mao shouted. “We are the hero squad of the Hero Association. If you put down your weapon and surrender, it will be considered a voluntary surrender. Otherwise, you’ll be in jail for life!”
Hearing Huang Mao’s words, the black-clothed man ran even faster. What a joke, his current situation was enough for him to spend his life in jail.
Thus, the four of them chased and fled all the way, gradually leaving the central district and about to enter the sparsely populated transition zone.
The black-clothed man had long lost his initial panic. His mission was almost complete, and the handover location mentioned by the employer was right here.
Two怪人, one black and one white, this was the information the employer had given him.
Quickly scanning the street, the black-clothed man joyfully discovered that there were indeed two怪人, one black and one white, standing at the intersection in the distance.
Faster, faster, a little faster. As long as he handed over the items, everything would be irrelevant to him.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters…
The two怪人 noticed the commotion. The one in white even waved at him, which finally relieved the black-clothed man’s worries.
As expected, they were the ones who came to receive him.
As he passed by the white-clothed man, he handed the safe to the white-clothed man. “My mission is complete.”
After speaking, he turned a corner and disappeared at the intersection.
“Stop!” The trio finally arrived leisurely.
“Huang Mao, Hui Mao, Hei Mao, oh, it’s these three. Xiao Bai, you go?” The white-clothed man who received the safe sized up the three young people and asked the black-clothed man beside him.
“Hui Mao, you deal with him.” The black-clothed man’s figure suddenly disappeared. The next moment, a fist wearing black gloves appeared on Huang Mao’s face.
“You’re so slow to react.” The black-clothed man commented coldly as he watched Huang Mao fly back nearly ten meters.
“You guy!” Seeing his comrade being attacked, Lu Siyu knew the situation. Without hesitation, she flew into the sky, wanting to fully display her abilities.
There were few people here, so she could use her abilities boldly.
But the black-clothed man didn’t give her that chance. Before Lu Siyu could reach the sky, the black-clothed man appeared at her feet and grabbed her ankle.
With a forceful swing, Lu Siyu, who was halfway up, was slammed to the ground.
In just two moves, two A-class heroes were injured.
“Sigh, actually, she alone is quite enough.” The white-clothed man shook his head and then turned his gaze to Xia Xia. “Miss with grey hair, how about we make a deal? You just stay put obediently, and you won’t have to be as embarrassed as your two teammates. How about it?”
