Chapter 335 Equivalent Exchange 1 (1/2)

Bam!!

Anne clenched her teeth and heavily punched the wall.

”Who! Who is it! Let Anne catch and pound them into minced meat!!”

”Anne, calm down.”

Lize sat on the chair, her face very pale because she was healing all the injured people. She had used up all of her spirit power. Fortunately, the patrolling angels came quickly and helped them solve half of their problems. The security corps also promised that they would catch the culprit, so they didn't have to worry. However, to Rhode, it was just an empty promise.

”They appeared so suddenly…”

Rhode stood beside the bed, looking at Shauna, who currently looked very weak and pale. This red-haired female mercenary revealed an exhausted expression. Although with the treatment, her injuries had gotten better, but the gap between their strengths and the enemy's strength was too big, and Shauna almost died back then.

”At that time, we had just left the arena for not too long… cough, we were going to bring Christie to the Evening Square, but on the way, we were suddenly attacked by black-masked people that appeared from the small alley. They seemed to be well-trained, had a clear division of labor, and were obviously targeting Ms. Christie… Kavos and I reacted immediately, but those people's movements were so fast that they easily overwhelmed us. Fortunately, we still managed to bring Ms. Christie back into their hands… When they did not succeed, they immediately retreated. It looked like they were really familiar with Golden City because until they left, the people around barely noticed what had happened, and when the patrolling angels arrived… everything was already over. ”

”I understand.”

Hearing until here, Rhode reached out and gently patted Shauna's shoulder.

”Have a good rest and leave everything to me.”

”Sir, you have to be careful… those guys… they might still be targeting Ms. Christie…”

Upon hearing Shauna's advice, Rhode slightly frowned. Then, a murderous intent flashed through his eyes.

”They won't have this opportunity.”

Having said this, Rhode turned away and walked out of the room. He closed the door, he saw Gillian who was shaking her head and spreading our her hands.

”How is Christie's situation?”

Rhode looked at Gillian and asked. Gillian shook her head helplessly.

”Nothing changed… It looks like this time it's really troublesome… Master… Do you have any clue about the attackers?”

Rhode didn't answer Gillian's question. On the contrary, he was silent for a moment. Then, he opened the door and walked into the room.

The girl was lying quietly in bed, motionless. Her face was pale and white bandages wrapped her wounds. When she slightly moved, a bit of blood appeared through the bandages.

Christie's situation was not too good.

In the beginning, Rhode thought that she had only received minor injuries, but soon, Lize noticed something was wrong. Although her spirit power could heal Christie's injuries, it couldn't cure her. Lapis's potion also had no effect on her. It was very strange. However, after hearing what they both had said, Rhode immediately understood what happened to Christie.

She was cursed.

Clearly, at that time, Christie's attackers didn't use a normal sword but a cursed sword. Rhode remembered there was a weapon called 'Tears of Sorrow', and the wounds inflicted by it couldn't be healed, but that didn't mean that there was no other way. By chance, in Golden City, only one force possessed this weapon, and it also had enough motives and reasons to attack them.

That group of b*stard really thought that he was that easy to deal with?

Rhode snorted and then slowly walked to Christie's side.

When she heard footsteps sound, Christie slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Rhode's presence, a soft smile appeared on her face.

”… So… rry … Rhode… I gave you… more trouble…”

”It's okay, Christie, this is not your fault.”

Looking at her smile, he didn't know what to say. He reached out and stroked her soft, long hair, gently helping her comb out some of her messy hair.

”I know you feel very uncomfortable now. Be patient, and I'll find a way to cure you soon.”

”… It's okay… Rhode… I'm not afraid…”

Upon hearing Rhode's comfort, Christie shook her head slightly. Perhaps because her movement had opened the wound, she felt pain. She frowned and managed to endure it. Then, she once again opened her eyes and looked at Rhode quietly.

”… Actually… Christie doesn't want to… become Rhode's burden… I don't want…”

She slowly breathed and continued.
