The manâs eyes were stained with anxiety. The thickness of the wall was so thick he couldnât hear what was going on outside. The man picked up a his blade from the corner of the safe room. Sweat streamed down from his forehead with tension. It was about three minutes past.
âHnnngh.â
The air in the safe room felt cold. He thought it was because he was nervous, but his breath fogged as he breathed out.
âW-wait. Is thisâŚ?â
A cold frost formed on the wall of the safe room the man was looking at.
âInstant Frost?â
It was that moment. A sharp blue steel penetrated the wall of the frozen safe room. Force qi began to draw a line as it moved through the super alloy wall, creating an entrance of itself.
âNO!â
The man quickly tried to pull out his blade, but the superalloy wall broke down and someone broke into the safe room. The man immediately launched an attack.
âStream of Ghost Illusive Sword!â
The sword formation passed throughout the Ghost Illusion clan spread out in the hands of a man. The blade very quickly moved over the intruder, trying to slash him down. But the intruderâs power was far superior to that. The intruder immediately used his sword formation to counter back, and finally struck the man on his chest.
âUGH!â
But a woman scream came out from the manâs mouth.
âFound her!â
The intruder, a masked man, quickly moved in close and sealed the manâs blood points.
âUgh!!â
He couldnât move his body. The man, who was overwhelmed in just a second, stared angrily at the masked man. The only visible area on the mask, the eye, was wearing a special goggle, so he couldnât even tell who it was.
The masked man grabbed the man by the head.
âUgh! What are you doing? Let go!â
As the man shouted in a shrill voice, the masked man shook his head and lifted his grasp. With that, the manâs face skin was torn off, revealing not a flesh nor muscle, but a completely different face.
The person under it was a beautiful woman with short hair who looked like she was in her late twenties.
âHuan Xia. So you were hiding here.â
At the masked womanâs words, Huan Xia bit her lips. She had hoped to let it pass, but she ended up getting caught. The masked man reported to the captain of the masked man behind him.
âWe have the target.â
âLetâs return.â
The masked man then carried Huang Xia on his shoulder.
âAaah!â
When Huang Xia tried to scream, she was stopped by being blood point sealed. She was helplessly overwhelmed and had no way to resist being detained by them. The masked men climbed the basement stairs to the second floor of the building.
âAhâŚ.â
In Huang Xiaâs eyes looked over the masked manâs shoulders, and saw a window pierced in the corridor of the second floor. It seemed they had entered a place other than the entrance. They naturally jumped into the second floor window as if it were an entrance.
It was a building at the entrance to the alley, so it was dark everywhere. Without a surveillance camera, this place was a typical blind spot. The first masked man to jump opened the manhole lid on the ground just in front of the building. The route they traveled was a sewer.
âNo wonder why their clothes stink.
Huang Xia thought as she frowned. However, it was the best route to travel because the Gate Warning in effect and traffic was blocked and police officers were everywhere.
âIâll go down first.â
The masked man who opened the manhole lid first tried to jump into the sewer passage. It was then.
âWh-what?!â
The masked manâs body soared up, and flipped away and hit the wall of the building. All of masked men, embarrassed by the unknown phenomenon, pulled out their swords in unison.
âWhat is it?â
Huang Xia, too, was puzzled as to what was going on, but saw someone walking from one side of the alley. It was Chun Yeowun in black coat fluttering as he walked. Chun Yeowun, approaching them, spoke to them.
âThere you are, you rats.â
The captainâs eyes, a mask inside the goggles, have narrowed.
â..heâs strong.â
He had figured that the enemy was not to be underestimated with, so he turned to others back of him along with the man carrying Huan Xia and nodded toward the manhole and spoke.
âGo ahead. Iâm going to get himâŚâ
It was then. Something fell to the bottom of the alley with the sound of slashing something. It was the masked captainâs right arm.
â!?â

âArghhhhh!â
As the masked menâs leaderâs arm was thrown to the ground and he was about to scream, someone grabbed his mouth and lifted him up.
âW-when did heâŚ?â
The masked men, who found Chun Yeowun suddenly appeared within them, were shocked and retreated at once. Chun Yeowun said in a cynical voice.
