32 Hiding From Danger (1/2)

Eventually, she found out that the black cloak man was one of Buro's men after all.

”Phew! That was close! I almost walk to my death just now,” she said fearfully.

”Hmm, so it turns out to be Buro's men after all, but how did they know I was here?” she wondered.

Thankfully Buro's men don't have the skill Appraisal on them, otherwise, she would've been in great trouble by now.

”Well, this is bad. I guess I have to use the other gates for now to get out of here,”

With that said, she then went to the eastern gate area, and the result was still the same.

”Dammit! They are here too....”

However, she didn't give up and went to the southern and western gates instead, but realized Buro's men were guarding that area as well.

”Crap, look like I'm completely surrounded by them,”

At this point, she was starting to get panic and worried about her current situation. As time goes by, more and more people are leaving the arena, and in just a matter of time, she would be left alone inside the battle arena.

When that time comes, it would be easier for them to notice her, as she can no longer hide herself in the crowd.

”No way, I can't believe my life is going to end here like this....”

Initially, she wanted to kill her way out because the western gates area only has one person guarding. However, if she were to do that, then she might alert other Buro's men nearby.

Although she's an S-Rank Adventurer, but she lacks of battle experience. Thus, even the weakest S-Rank member in Buro's group could defeat her easily.

While she was trying to think of a way to escape, she also began to explore the arena inside looking for a place to hide temporarily for now. As she was roaming around, suddenly ahead of her, she saw a big giant door and on the surface of the door, it has a word sign saying, ”No Entry,”.

”No Entry? Hmm, I wonder what is inside there?”

Then suddenly behind her, 10 guards arrived and they are currently heading toward the ”No Entry,” door.

”Move! Move! Move! Stop blocking the way everyone!” yelled the 10 guards while escorting the eight contestants.

”Please make way and stop blocking!” said another guard as well, as he was trying to make way for the eight contestants behind him to go through.

Among the eight contestants, Prime was one of them. It seems like the guards are escorting them to the hotel place inside the inner arena.

After that, the crowd then makes way for the ten guards and eight contestants to pass. Later, the ”No Entry,” door opened, and the eight contestants then went inside. However, just as they were about to close the door, the mysterious lady immediately dashed in.

Since she was an S-Rank Adventurer, therefore her speed was extremely fast, and none of the people around her noticed it except for Prime.

”Huh? Who is this person? It seems like he/she also wears the same cat mask as I do....” Prime thought to himself.

However, he didn't let anyone know or confront the mysterious lady because he didn't sense any killing intent from her, so he doesn't feel that he needs to act against that unknown person.

Right after she entered the main building inside the inner arena, she immediately continues to roam around looking for a suitable place to hide. Then suddenly, she found four maids just finished cleaning a room and came out.

Once again, just as they were about to close the door, she sneakily dashed in without them realizing. After that, the maids then left and went off to clean the other rooms.

”Phew! Finally, I secured myself a room. I guess I can hide here for a bit and wait till Buro's men leave this place,” she said in a relieved manner.

At this point, she was just trying her best to suppress her aura, so that way, Buro and his men will have a harder time sensing her presence.

Five minutes passed...

Fifteen minutes passed...

Thirty minutes passed...

Finally, she could hear the arena is getting quieter than before as most people have already left and gone home.

In the meantime, Buro's group was still searching around the arena looking for her, but unfortunately, they found nothing. Also, they can't stay here too long, as the arena's workers will ask them to leave since outsiders can't stay in here.

”F**K! It looks like my intuition is wrong after all, dammit! I wonder where that bitch is hiding,”
