56 The Capture ? (1/2)

Zhao Yao smirked, ”Then I guess I can't let you guys off that easily.”

”Is it?” Metalman broke into evil laughter. ”You want to kill me? Come on! Try me!”

At this moment, a helping hand reached out to metalman from behind him, hidden from Zhao Yao's line of sight.

It turned out that metalman was just acting as a cover for his partner to rescue him.

As the hand grabbed hold of metalman's shoulder, the floor around them started to shake vigorously as if the floor turned into mud. In an instant, metalman sank into the ground with incredible speed.

Zhao Yao knew that he would not be able to do anything if both of them sank into the ground.

However, just as the two of them began to sink into the ground, Zhao Yao activated time freeze yet again. Not only was metalman buying time for his partner, but the cooldown timer on time freeze was also causing Zhao Yao to lose precious time.

As time froze, Zhao Yao walked straight behind metalman and took a closer look at the hand on metalman's shoulder.

Zhao Yao borrowed Elizabeth's power, and just as time reverted back to normal speed, his eyes were already glowing red.

However, he failed to control the owner of the hand. The power failed to take effect!

”What?” Zhao Yao gasped in disbelief as the hand sank into the ground with half of metalman's body already in the ground.

Ever since Zhao Yao cracked the case of the killer cat, Elizabeth's loyalty level had risen to 95 points, which also means that the success rate of Elizabeth's power is also 95%. It is already almost impossible for Zhao Yao to fail while using Elizabeth's power.

It had to fail at this crucial moment.

There was no time to think. Zhao Yao instantly switched target to metalman. Metalman's body froze and started to slow down as he sank.

However, the person below reacted with even greater power, turning the floor around them into a liquid-like state. Although Zhao Yao's power was lifting metalman from the ground, the other party refused to give up and continued to drag metalman deeper into the ground, away from Zhao Yao's line of sight.

Before he disappeared, metalman glared at Zhao Yao in the eye as if he was saying, ”I will find you eventually.”

Suddenly, metalman's metal skin started to fade away as Zhao Yao's power started to kick in and prevented metalman from using his power.

With the fading of the metal skin, metalman suddenly became a lot lighter and started sinking at an incredibly slow speed.

Zhao Yao gathered more power to lift metalman out of the ground. metalman reacted by grabbing the hand on his shoulder. Without the burden of the metal shell, metalman was able to utilize his full strength and started to tug and pull on the hand.

The floor around them continued to liquefy and wobble like water; It was starting to be difficult for the person to use the surrounding ground as a support. As metalman continued to tug and pull, he managed to sink a little, but the lack of support caused the person underneath to surface for a while.

The person was a plump man with a pale-stricken face. Seeing that he was dragged out by metalman, he panicked and stared around with a frightened look in his eyes. Momentarily, he lost control of metalman's body.

Just as the fatty surfaced from the ground, Zhao Yao instantly switched his target to him and let go of metalman.

”What?” The fatty's body froze.

As metalman's head resurfaced from the ground, Zhao Yao already had the situation fully under his control.
