350 What Are You Waiting For? Run! ? (2/2)
”What the hell are you trying to do?” Lin Chen roared with his eyes fixed on Purple Sabre Fairy.
However, Purple Sabre Fairy was completely indifferent to Lin Chen's words as he continued staring viciously at Old Cat, ”Shut … your … mouth…” Three plasma sabers appeared behind him with their sharp edges pointing straight at Old Cat.
Old Cat responded with a grin and answered, ”Hey, you don't get too excited as well. There is always room for discussion in whatever we do. Come, let's sit down and talk …”
….
On the other end, Zhao Yao stared into the distance as he observed two figures free-falling from the sky. This perplexing scene caused his forehead to furrowed slightly as he muttered, ”Why are other apostles joining in the fun?”
Black Panther was bursting with excitement as he continued to jump up and down before shouting, ”Someone is falling from the sky! I've never seen anyone fall to death! Should we go and take a look?”
Zhao Yao weighed the situation before him and decided to prioritize the missions on hand. The amazing scene unfurled as Zhao Yao led an entourage of more than 200 people on the streets as they made their way out of the district. With all the apostles embroiled in the battle, none of the remaining villagers dared to stop them. They were simply hiding in their homes as fear clawed through their heads.
”Do not go out! That guy is crazy!”
”Yea! I heard he even stabbed Uncle Zhao! Who would even kill such a nice person?'
”I heard even Tiger fell victim to him. This man is responsible for the massacre.”
”I heard many more died in the hands of this evil man. So much innocent blood is shed because of him! I've already contacted the police, we shall just buy time till they come.”
”Look, Black Panther is following him.”
”That sycophant! I heard he was the one who thrust the knife into Uncle Zhao's chest.”
Even though the villages were whispering, their words were crystal clear in Zhao Yao's ears because of 'Four is better than three'. Each word rang in his head like a blaring ringtone. This nonsense was getting on Zhao Yao's nerves as his mouth began to twitch with raging anger.
Suddenly, he cocked his head towards Black Panther which caused him to freeze with fear, ”Master, what's the matter?”
Zhao Yao let out a sigh of despair before explaining, ”Do not return once you set foot out of this place. Bring your mother along as well.”
”Why?” Black Panther could not understand his purpose of saying all these, ”Also, my mom has left three years ago …”
Zhao Yao asked, ”Where did she go?”
”One day, she started complaining about this throbbing headache before she went to a neighboring hospital to get it checked out. The X-ray revealed a tumor in her head. Our family had zero means of paying for the surgery and my mum decided to solve the problem by killing herself. All she left was a piece of letter.”
Zhao Yao's pupils dilated as he fought back his tears. He took a deep breath before saying, ”I'm sorry for bringing this up.”
”It's nothing!” Black Panther shattered the momentary silence with a cackle. He began shouting at the top of his voice, ”Thank god I met you, master! Thanks for bringing me out on this big project! Once I save my first pot of gold, I will construct a road in this district and name it Black Panther Street. I'm sure my mum will be proud to see it in heaven!”
Sorrow closed up Zhao Yao's throat as soreness tore at his chest when he heard those words.
At the same time, they had already reached the entrance to the district.
The fleeting sorrow dissipated as Zhao Yao watched the masses walked through the gates. Every one of them represented a completed mission which meant heaps of experience points.
Suddenly, a blast of explosion erupted from afar.
Zhao Yao strained his eyes and noticed Sonia and Li Tian dashing towards the entrance. It seemed like something was chasing after them.
Sonia had also noticed Zhao Yao but had no intentions to stop at all. She continued running at top speed but whispered into Zhao Yao's ears when she sped past him, ”Run!”
