The next day, the heavy curtains blocked out all light from the room.
Elisabeth curled up in her blankets, wishing to sleep forever.
Chapter 1255: Escape
Heh, daring to be so arrogant within the range of Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak’s gravity suppression, it’s simply seeking death!
Leo wielded the Divine Dragon Sword and stepped forward.
In an instant, the two of them clashed once again.
Sato was never a match for Leo, especially within the range of gravity suppression.
So after a dozen moves, the Divine Dragon Sword left two bloodstains on Sato’s body.
“Damn it, what the hell did that black little mountain release? Why is my movement so heavily suppressed?” Sato felt frustrated and annoyed.
Just as Sato was distracted, the Divine Dragon Sword left another gash on his shoulder.
At this point, Sato realized that he was no match for Leo and began to consider retreating.
Sato erupted with strength, blocking Leo’s attack, and then raised his ninja sword with both hands to strike at Leo’s head.
Leo instinctively raised the Divine Dragon Sword to block.
The clash of swords produced a crisp sound.
A glimmer flashed in Sato’s eyes as he used the rebound force to somersault backward, quickly escaping the range of gravity suppression.
After landing, Sato didn’t hesitate and used his ninja skills to flee towards the hall’s entrance.
Leo’s face darkened as he put away Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, lifted the Divine Dragon Sword, and chased after him.
In just a few breaths, Sato and Leo disappeared outside the hall’s entrance.
Outside the hotel, the night was as dark as ink. The streets were bustling with traffic.
Sato split into two figures, fleeing in opposite directions along the street.
Watching the two figures disappear across the road, Leo had to stop because they were now beyond the range where his Divine Awareness could lock onto Sato’s true form.
Leo sighed and turned back to the hotel.
Inside the hotel hall, Amaya, Imogen, and Seiho had already gathered around Kihachi.
Leo approached Coral first, making sure she was alright before finally letting go of his worries.
“Mr. Bloomer, what about that Orientia ninja?” Kihachi asked Leo, using his name he learned from Amaya.
“He escaped,” Leo replied.
Kihachi’s expression changed slightly as he sincerely said, “Mr. Bloomer, thank you for helping us tonight.”
“No need to be polite, Mr. Mcguire. Amaya and I are friends, and besides, I can’t just stand by when Orientia ninjas come causing trouble in Atraria,” Leo waved his hand.
Kihachi nodded and didn’t say anything more.
Leo had saved him and his daughter today, and Kihachi naturally remembered it well. Repaying him was necessary.
“By the way, Mr. Mcguire, what is the origin of these ninjas? Why do they want to kill you?” Leo asked.
Orientia people had a strong sense of revenge, and Leo was well aware of that.
Sato wouldn’t give up after escaping, so Leo needed to understand his background.
“Mr. Bloomer, this is not the place to talk. If you don’t mind, please come to my house,” Kihachi glanced at the chaotic surroundings and said.
This attack by Orientia’s Hojo Clan indirectly involved Leo, so Kihachi had to tell him the reason behind it.
Leo nodded and then turned to Coral, saying, “Coral, why don’t you go home first? I’ll go to Mr. Mcguire’s house.”
Coral knew she couldn’t help much in this situation and nodded in agreement. “Take care of yourself.”
“Imogen, escort Mr. Bloomer’s friend home,” Kihachi instructed Imogen.
“Yes, Mr. Mcguire.”
As Leo and his group walked towards the hotel’s entrance, they heard piercing sirens from outside.
Several police cars with flashing lights rushed over, including two special police cars and two riot police cars.
The police cars stopped outside the hotel’s entrance. The door of one car opened first, and a middle-aged man in a neat police uniform stepped out.
This middle-aged man was Theo Suarez, the chief of Chiville District Police Department.
On Theo’s stern face was a heavy expression.
Just a few minutes ago, the local police station received multiple reports of an attack at Wendem Grand Hotel.
The callers were not ordinary citizens but some highly respected businessmen.
These businessmen were all influential figures in Langstel, and some of them had extraordinary power.
If any of them encountered trouble within his jurisdiction, Theo couldn’t bear the consequences.
Without hesitation, Theo led his team to rush over. The chief of the city police department would definitely come later, and even high-ranking officials from the city might show up.
Looking towards the hotel entrance, Theo let out a long breath, a glimmer flashing in his eyes.
He hoped the situation wouldn’t be too serious; otherwise, he would face criticism or even be removed from his position.
Theo and his officers got out of their cars. Holding shields in an arc formation, they surrounded the hotel entrance while the special police stood in advantageous positions with their weapons in hand.
“Move!” Theo’s eyes flashed with coldness as he led his officers closer to the hotel entrance.
But just as they took a few steps forward, several people walked out from inside the hotel’s entrance.
“Mr. Suarez… It’s… Mr. Mcguire…” The captain of the criminal investigation team said in surprise to Theo.
Theo looked at the people who appeared and nodded. He walked past the riot police and quickly approached Kihachi.
“Theo Suarez from Chiville District Police Department?” Kihachi glanced at Theo and recognized him before shaking his head. “I’m fine.”
“I’m Theo Suarez. Mr. Mcguire, it’s good to see you’re alright,” Theo inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
If anything happened to Kihachi within his jurisdiction, even if it was just a minor injury, Theo couldn’t bear the responsibility as the district police chief.
“Mr. Mcguire, what exactly happened here? Are there any other casualties?” Theo instinctively looked inside and asked.
Kihachi fell silent for a moment. Even if he told these ordinary police officers that he was attacked by Orientia’s Hojo Clan ninjas, it wouldn’t make much difference.
“Mr. Suarez, it’s hard to explain what happened here. But there shouldn’t be any casualties,” Kihachi replied.
When the ninjas attacked, everyone in the hall had already fled. Even if there were injuries, they were at most minor scrapes during their escape.
“That’s good.” Theo finally relaxed his tense nerves. “Mr. Mcguire, I will lead my team inside to investigate. We will handle this attack seriously.”
“Well…” Kihachi furrowed his brows slightly.
Although Kihachi had a special status, he wasn’t a government official. He couldn’t directly stop Theo from conducting an investigation.
Since this incident started because of him, Kihachi didn’t want it to spread too widely either.
