Chapter 242: The Sleepless Night part 2 (1/2)

The Smiling Lion street soon after became boisterous as numerous customers began haggling with the shop owners and the shop owners shouting for more customers to be attracted to their own stand.

What the majority of the people don't know though, while they are busy with that, numerous fights were actually happening.

A member of the Sword and Magic that wants to quickly escape the place after noticing how dire the situation had already turned out to be, was suddenly stabbed by a woman in the heart while walking and his body was now being hugged by that woman to not attract any unwanted attention.

Another member of the Sword and Magic who was using the roofs to escape was immediately surrounded by ten people before getting kicked off the roof, and his dead body was soon after caught before reaching the ground.

A dozen of members of the Sword and Magic that want to transfer to another residential house to discuss with the other members inside about what to do next was immediately ambushed the moment they all got inside.

Similar situations were happening, and almost all of it was about the Sword and Magic members getting killed.

In the beginning, it was the Sword and Magic who has the advantage because the Mischievous Lion organization was the one in need to adapt to the changes. But right now, the initiative has already been taken away by the Mischievous Lion organization, hence it was now the Sword and Magic that needed to adapt to the new changes. However, with how fast things were going on right now, would they even be able to successfully adapt before all of them die?

No matter how skilled and well trained the Sword and Magic members were, they were in the territory of the Mischievous Lion organization. Additionally, they have already fallen into Leo's trap, therefore they were now put into a very disadvantageous position.

All of those people that want to escape or were doing suspicious moves, even if they are not members of the Sword and Magic but rather were just some passerby, they were still immediately eliminated as silently as possible, even those people who have witnessed their deaths were pulled into the mess.

This was just how the dance of the dark that Leo had mentioned works. Two sides dancing in the dark, obviously unaware of their surroundings, so whoever they hit while dancing would only have the fate of death.

.....

Meanwhile, inside the manor, Leo and the others finally heard the Sword and Magic members breaking in the windows of the 2nd and 3rd floor of the manor. They don't even care anymore whether they would get found out or not, as the only thing they care about right now was to complete their mission.

Leo quickly signaled everyone to get inside the study room to hide as he quickly closed the door. They also did the same thing to the meeting room but the inside right now were a bunch of explosives.

”Where are they?”

”Our report said that our target is inside the study room, but there are also people hidden inside the meeting room.”

”Then what are we waiting for, eliminate the people inside the meeting room first in case of causing us any trouble!”

”Okay!”

*Cring...

”Sir, I see no one-”

Before that person was able to report, the meeting room suddenly exploded.

*BOOOOOM!

”F*ck, it's a trap! Go to the study room to get our target!”

*Cring...

However, the moment everyone got inside, they found no one aside from a bomb with its lead lit on.

”Hide!!”

*BOOOOOOM!

At this moment, Leo and the others have already quickly escaped the study room and were now running towards a nearby residential house. Since the study room was just located on the first floor, going through the window doesn't post them any problems at all.

Although the Sword and Magic could have attacked them through the window of the study room, but due to the nature of their mission right now, specifically to secretly capture Leo, they can only choose to do it in a hard way.

”Leo, where are we going next?” Charlotte, who was not informed of what to do next after escaping from the manor asked.

”Have you noticed their cultivation?” Leo asked.

”Yes, they are a combination 2 Star to 4 Star in level. With their leader being a 6 Star.” Charlotte quickly replied.

”Then hide and eliminate them one by one.” Leo said.

”Okay!” Charlotte said, feeling excited. Of course, with those people's cultivation, they wouldn't be able to easily defeat her. In fact, as a Battle Mage and a user of Twin Daggers, she works best within this dark place as she can slowly cherry-pick them.

”Number One to Number Ten, you know what to do, spread out!” Leo soon after ordered.

Without any further questions, Number One to Number Ten quickly spread out towards the other residential houses where Libra's Police were known to still be hiding at. Well, those houses were basically open while members of the Libra's Police were motioning them to get inside, that's why it was easy to find which house to get inside.

Suddenly, 5 members of the Sword and Magic appeared to block Leo, Princess Elaine, Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice path.

”Come with us, Leo!”

Just like what Leo had expected, he was indeed their target. And for them not to kill him immediately and had instead asked him to come with them, it was safe to assume that they want to use him as a bargaining chip.

Unfortunately,

*Shing! *Shing! *Shing! *Shing! *Shing!

Five people from the Scheming Shadows department appeared behind them, immediately slitting their throats one by one.

”Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice be sure to guard the three of them.” Leo reminded.

”Yes!” Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice nodded in response.

”And the five of you, guard them with your life too, or rather since the bunch of you are not known to be good in guarding people then just eliminate anyone that post a threat to them.” Leo immediately ordered the five people from the Scheming Shadows.
