Chapter 100 (2/2)

“You got a plan?” Vivian looked at Hao Ren. “Wanna rush in headfirst or what?”

Hao Ren looked rather troubled. He did think about facing the kidnappers head on but things did not seem so easy. The two werewolves strictly speaking, did not actually kidnap Lil but, Hao Ren had no idea what concerns they had, which prevented them from telling Lily that they were looking for their kin. At least from how they acted, they had no intentions of harming her.

However, Hao Ren was also under no illusion that he could talk his way out of things. Lily was an oddball amongst werewolves and if the stories about them were true, most werewolves would be hostile. To show his face would mean inviting a fight.

He recalled the experience he had, fighting the giant wolves in The Plane of Dreams and tried to act out what novels said about getting pumped before going into a fight. He pointed towards the fog and asked, “Do you know the rough location Lily’s at?”

“I do have a rough idea.” Vivian pointed at the west side of the warehouse. “There’s a row of windows covered by the fog. Looks like an office of sorts. Lily’s in one of them.”

“Can we try to lure the werewolves away and then rush in to grab Lily?” Hao Ren said hesitantly. “If we need to fight after that, at least, we don’t have to worry about a hostage.”

Vivian nodded and whispered an incantation. A swirl of red mist appeared out of nowhere and quickly formed into a humanoid shape resembling Vivian.

The Blood Mist did not totally hide its presence and the moment it approached the area, the Dark Fog stirred. The werewolves were clearly alerted to its presence.

“Let’s go!” Vivian pulled Hao Ren’s arm as they leapt off the roof and ran straight towards the windows of the warehouse.

The area was filled to the brim with leftover construction materials and was perfect at hiding what was going on there. Vivian even neglected to hide her wings and glided through the air. She arrived at the corner of the warehouse in the blink of an eye. Hao Ren could only rely on his legs but, he thankfully managed to keep up.

As they positioned themselves by the western wall of the warehouse, they could hear bestial roars nearby. It was clear that Vivian’s Blood Mist Avatar had made contact with the werewolves.

“My Blood Mist can corrode glass and porcelain into nothing. An evil grin appeared across her face. “There was a time when werewolves were innumerable. Hopefully, the Ebbens sent someone with brains.”

Hao Ren looked up towards the row of windows. He guessed from the height that the building was at least two-stories high and Lily was possibly being held in one of the offices on the second floor. As Vivian mentioned, black fog swirled menacingly outside the windows.

He reached into his pocket and a voice suddenly appeared in his head. “I’m warning you. Don’t you dare use me as a projectile…”

“Why would I even?” Hao Ren was flustered at the rather sensitive MDT. “I’m trying to get my phone to give Lily a call. To see if she could fight her—”

Before Hao Ren could finish his sentence, a violent shout rang out nearby. “F*ckers! I knew it was you, blood suckers!”
