Chapter 136: Now, Run!
"You think you can escape from us that easily?!" The man with the wound in his eye laughed happily as they were able to stop Theodore from running away from them.
Theodore didn’t react when he heard the man’s words. Apparently, he was pretty resilient, seeing that he was able to attack him again after he was kicked until he hit the wall. Theodore thought he had fought the people long enough. He hoped Roxanne and the others had escaped.
"Looking for a way to escape? There’s no way you’ll die by our hands today," the man continued, laughing like a madman when he saw Theodore’s silence.
"I guess playing a little more with you guys won’t hurt," Theodore said as he shrugged his shoulders casually.
Now, it wasn’t just the man with the scar on his eye who was provoked by Theodore’s words as the rest of the group began to show their murderous intentions towards Theodore.
"We have to give him a student, Boss!" The man whose body was as hard as iron was now the one who spoke. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Take it easy. I’ll make sure to dismember his body with my needles!" Now, it was the young man with glasses who spoke.
Theodore finally found the person using the needle; he didn’t expect there to be a young man in this group, especially since the young man looked quite dangerous and was very intent on killing him.
"Hahahaha! I’m glad to see the spirit of you all; then, it’s time to get even!" The man with the scar in his eye immediately ran forward to open fire on Theodore.
The three people who had previously attacked Theodore from up close were now the only two left, and also, the large man, whose body was as hard as iron, began to advance to attack Theodore.
Then, from a distance, sharp needles targeted Theodore’s blind spots. When Theodore was caught off guard, the man with the scar on his eye began to move forward to attack him as well.
This time, Theodore was bombarded entirely from all directions by these people; this time, he was beaten back by this indiscriminate attack.
Theodore even had to take a step back because he was hit by the fire fist of the man with the scar on his eye. This was the first time Theodore had taken significant damage from his enemy.
Theodore’s HP bar, which had previously only been reduced slightly, was now reduced by half due to the attack. Theodore even had to spit out some blood because it was his stomach that was hit by the man’s punch.
Theodore spat out the blood calmly and looked back at the people in front of him who were still eager to kill him.
"If you tell me where that bitch Jocelyn is, I’ll spare you and let you go alive," said the man with the scar on his eye.
"I told you that I don’t know anything. You’re the one who thought that I knew something and attacked me," Theodore replied, still calm. He was already thinking of how he could escape from this place.
At the same time, Theodore communicated with the system to ask if Roxanne and the others had left the salon area.
"System, tell me if Roxanne and the others have left this place?" Theodore spoke to the system from inside his head.
[Five minutes ago, they had just made it out of this place. It will still take a while until they are safe from these people. It seems like the Host will still have to detain them until then]
Theodore heard the people bragging again, but he ignored it and didn’t listen too much. Theodore sighed because he still had to play with these people so that Roxanne and the others could be safe from their pursuit.
It was useless if they couldn’t escape from the pursuit of these people, even though this time they were able to escape. Theodore still didn’t know how they could find Jocelyn’s whereabouts, so he just wanted to make sure.
"Did you really feel that bitch here?"
"Yes! I can confirm she’s here; my needle tells me she’s around this place," the young man with glasses, who was using the needle while shouting, said.
Theodore came to his senses when he heard the loud shout of the unstable young man who was targeting him with his needles.
"It turns out that the young man who can detect Jocelyn’s whereabouts. Should I kill him?" Theodore spoke in his heart, but it would definitely be difficult to kill that young man since he was at the back of the line, not only because the other members looked very protective of him.
[The Host should think of a way to escape rather than bother thinking of killing that guy]
Hearing the system’s words, Theodore also felt stunned; it seemed that he had become too arrogant lately to think of killing someone.
Since the system had reminded him of this, Theodore thought of baiting them until all the cooldowns of his skills were finished, then using everything he had to escape from this place.
"I don’t have much time to play around with you guys. Whoever dies next, it won’t be me!" This time, Theodore took the initiative to attack them.
Since attacks usually didn’t work on big men, he targeted the remaining two who needed strength. Theodore swung his sword and parried several attacks directed at him. Then, at the right moment, he counterattacked by thrusting his sword towards their shoulders.
After finishing dealing with the two most useless people, Theodore immediately targeted the young man with glasses; whether his plan this time was successful or not, the important thing was that he had to try to hurt the young man.
"Keep him from getting close to Joseph!" The man with the scar in his eye immediately ordered the big man to block Theodore’s fast pace.
Theodore gritted his teeth. He quickened his pace so that he could escape from the big man while still aiming for the young man with glasses. However, what Theodore got instead was a bounce on his body as he was hit from the side by the big man.
Once again, Theodore had to hit the wall of the salon and had his HP bar reduced by another quarter. Seeing his blood-critical like that, Theodore could not help but pull out all his strength at the moment. freёwebnovel.com
His priority was to escape, but Theodore was no longer aiming to hurt the young man with glasses.
"Believe me, I won’t let you off so easily!" Once again, the man with the scar ran towards Theodore.
Theodore quickly activated his Sprint skill and spun around quickly to avoid the man’s fiery fists.
Not wanting to linger against the man, Theodore also utilized his skill to escape from inside this salon room. The longer Theodore was there, the more likely he would die by these crazy bastards.
But the big man didn’t let Theodore just pass; he again blocked Theodore’s steps, who intended to escape.
This time, Theodore had prepared his most decisive attack. Theodore activated his Vanishing Strike skill and gathered all his power on his sword, so he slashed his sword across the big man’s body.
Theodore’s attack entered and made the man scream in pain; seeing an opening, he immediately ran to leave the place. It was a pity that Theodore couldn’t hurt the young man with glasses.
