Mo Fan could not feel any joy, as the same number had just sent him a text just five seconds earlier. The message only had three letters, SOS, that combined into an international distress signal, basically meaning HELP!

However, before Mo Fan could collect his thoughts, he received a call from the number. The girl was asking him to come over with a calm, yet scared voice. Mo Fan was immediately on guard..

Mo Fan showed the text to the group. Zhao Manyan was about to say something and immediately thought better. ”What's going on?”

”Mind Control, that guy is controlling Li Yu'e, he's using her to bait us into his trap!” Mo Fan said confidently.

Even though he had only known Li Yu'e for a few days, he could tell that she was a very optimistic and strong girl. Mo Fan could not imagine her saying those words.

That being said, if Mo Fan had not received the weird text from her, he would only be confused by it. However, when he linked the two together, he immediately thought about Philip. It must be Philip controlling her mind!

This Executioner of the Black Vatican was indeed extremely cunning and vicious!

”What do we do now? She might be in danger,” Zhao Manyan asked.

”Don't panic yet, I don't think Philip is going to do anything to her. I told her that I'm going to call her when I reach the hospital, so she should be fine until I call her again,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan had reacted quickly. If he had not emphasized it, there was a chance that Philip would have killed Li Yu'e straightaway after the call!

”Should we alert the Sacred Hall Mages?” Mu Ningxue asked.

Mage and Lingling shook their heads. It was obvious that they did not want the Sacred Hall Mages to be involved.

Philip was once close to the Sacred Hall of Liberty. He would surely flee for his life once the Sacred Hall Mages showed up.

However, they had to deal with the Executioner here in New York. Otherwise, it would only bring unending trouble to Mo Fan. The Sacred Hall Mages would only scare the enemy away.

”That guy thinks he's the hunter that's hiding in the dark to take my life, but I'm going to tell him who's the real Hunter!” Mo Fan swore coldly.

Night had fallen, the main streets only had a few vehicles left. Occasionally, a sports car would drive past, leaving a trail of brilliant tail lights behind. The street racers thought the roars of their engines would attract some attention, yet they were only a nuisance, just like a pile of garbage.

Orange-yellow street lamps were lighting up the streets. A few nurses who were done with their shifts walked along the street. Their laughter was quite clear in the quiet night.

The light greatly extended out the shadow of a man. One of the nurses glanced at him, but discovered that he had vanished in the blind spot between the lamps in a mysterious and eerie manner.

The lights in the hospital were mainly white. Mo Fan stood at the entrance of the hospital. There were a lot fewer people present at night, and since the USA was not as densely populated as China, the hospital felt rather empty.

It was actually good news for Mo Fan, as it would not be as tricky to evacuate the hospital if a fight broke out.

In the room on the fifth floor, Li Yu'e was lying on the white bed. Her eyes were staring at the ceiling.

Philip had changed his clothes and was standing by the window, peeking to the outside by lifting the curtains. He did not seem to be in a rush.

He was incredibly patient, since he could strike again if he missed out on the opportunity this time.

”Why must you kill him?” Li Yu'e asked.

”Little girl, you don't look afraid at all,” Philip turned around. The smile on his face was quite spooky.

”I've fallen into your hands. It's useless being afraid,” Li Yu'e said.

”You're quite special, aren't you? Oh, speaking of which, if you are tired of selling drinks, you might be able to become a Psychic Mage. You're almost twenty, aren't you aware of how talented you are?” Philip walked to the bed. He picked up an apple in boredom and started peeling its skin.

”I know, but I don't like it,” Li Yu'e said.

”You're very interesting,” Philip peeled the apple and cut it in half. He handed one half to Li Yu'e and shoved the other half into his mouth.

Li Yu'e ate the apple without showing any worry.

”I didn't have a grudge against the kid. I'm only following an order. He has offended someone that he never should have offended,” Philip admitted casually.
