Free Web NovelChapter 996: Chapter 996: Scared Senseless
Summer Monroe knew what Principal Payne was thinking. Though she also wanted to catch Aaron and question him clearly, after hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and said, "Damian Knight, let him go for now. No matter what... not at school."
Damian Knight’s eyes were full of hostility, seemingly a bit out of control.
Unable to do anything else, Summer Monroe pretended to be hurt, drawing a sharp breath, "Hiss—so painful..."
Damian Knight’s back stiffened, and he finally let go of Aaron, turning around to support Summer Monroe, "Where are you hurt?"
Summer Monroe grabbed Damian Knight’s hand, shaking her head, "I’m not hurt, Damian, get a grip, this is a school."
Damian Knight gritted his teeth; his concern turned into disorder, and he was easily deceived by Summer Monroe.
When he looked at Aaron again, Aaron was already about ten meters away from him.
However, Aaron was not willing to show weakness either.
"I’ve heard so much about you, it’s rare to meet face to face, let’s have a bout then!"
"Young master!" The person behind Aaron quickly stepped forward, bending down to remind Aaron in his ear, "Damian Knight’s identity is unusual, we can’t clash with him head-on. If he discovers our identities, it will be disastrous. For the bigger picture, since we’ve completed the task, let’s retreat!"
Aaron felt a deep reluctance in his heart.
It was hard enough to catch Summer Monroe this time; he even wanted to take her back to Trevia directly.
But leaving like this was something he was really unwilling to do!
"Young master!" His subordinate, with reddened eyes, urged, "We really have to leave now! Don’t forget, you have another task."
Hearing this, Aaron gritted his teeth, making a hand gesture to retreat.
However—
"Stop them! Bring them back to The Vanguard!"
At Damian Knight’s command, The Vanguard members immediately stepped forward and surrounded Aaron and his group.
In the next instant, Aaron pulled out something from his chest and threw it to the ground. A thick yellow gas rose from the ground immediately.
"Cover your noses!" Summer Monroe quickly reminded.
Everyone present hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.
But when the thick yellow gas dispersed, Aaron and his group were nowhere to be seen, along with Damian Knight, who was beside Summer Monroe.
However, Summer Monroe knew that Damian Knight wasn’t kidnapped; he chased after them.
She had just heard the sound of Damian Knight’s footsteps as he went after them.
Principal Payne looked utterly shocked.
"What on earth? Is this a movie shoot?"
"It’s a smoke bomb," Summer Monroe explained, "But not the kind commonly used by the military. It’s a special one from Myanmar."
"Will there be any side effects?"
Summer Monroe shook her head, "No, it’s colorless and odorless, but if inhaled too much, it will make your limbs weak, although you’ll recover quickly."
Principal Payne hurriedly ordered others to open the doors and windows in the backstage.
While opening a window, he said, "I can’t accept that student anymore... I need to call the police! Yes! Call the police!"
"Don’t worry," Summer Monroe said, "I don’t think he’ll show up again. And there’s no need to call the police, The Vanguard is here."
Principal Payne was taken aback, and he patted his head, "What am I thinking?"
"Principal," Summer Monroe reminded, "Now’s not the time to worry about that guy, calm everyone else down first."
With Summer Monroe’s reminder, Principal Payne realized that many people backstage were scared out of their wits.
Most of the students today are like hothouse flowers, having never seen such a spectacle before.
Even Willow Grant was sitting dully on the floor with Mrs. Grant, clearly scared out of her wits.
It’s not that Willow Grant was useless, it’s just that Damian Knight and Aaron’s imposing manner was too strong, ordinary people couldn’t withstand it.
