?269 Chapter 269 – Different Perspective

After Nick slithered out of his house, he saw someone carefully running towards it from outside.

Nick hadn't seen that person before.

It was a petite figure with a gun, and Nick could see a couple of green strands of hair poking out from her cloak.

It was most likely a woman.

'She came from the place where the guy landed earlier. Is she the reason why he recovered so quickly? Does she have some kind of healing ability?' Nick thought.

The woman was too busy running into the house behind the other guy to take note of the cloud of fog clinging to the outside wall on the second floor of the house.

Nick rapidly jumped over her and landed on the ground behind her.

As she reached the entrance, Nick materialized in a crouching position behind her.

BOOOM!

Her Barrier materialized and broke apart.

This time, Nick was careful not to make too much noise.

So, instead of using all his power to bury his blade into her skull, he simply grabbed her hair through her cloak, pulled her head back, and buried his blade in her neck.

It took half a second longer than normal, but she died silently.

Next, Nick ran towards the west of his house and came around the corner.

And his ability deactivated!

Just five meters in front of Nick was the guy from the north, the probable leader of the ambush!

Their eyes met.

Nick couldn't fully see the guy's face, but for some reason, he felt familiar.

Nick felt like he had seen this guy before.

The man immediately pulled his spear back and assumed a defensive stance with his empty left arm in front of him.

However, instead of attacking the guy, as the guy had thought, Nick actually turned around and vanished behind the corner again.

"He's south of the house!" the guy shouted as he ran after Nick.

The guy passed the corner and…

Nick was gone.

However, the guy knew where Nick went.

He was an experienced fighter, and the gust of wind he had just felt almost certainly came from a strong jump.

He looked up, but he only saw the white of the Specter Cage slowly vanishing, which meant that something had just been near it.

Had Nick just jumped towards the barrier and then jumped over the house, toward the backyard, in just the single second it had taken the leader to shout and round the corner?

That would have needed an insane level of speed to pull off!

This ambush was not going as planned!

This fucker was so slippery, it was unreasonable!

"He's on top of the building!" the leader shouted.

BANG! BANG!

The sound of gunshots came from the backyard.

After that, he went into a crouching position and jumped towards the roof of the house.

Yet, when he arrived, he saw nobody!

The leader gritted his teeth and ran towards the northern edge of the roof, the one pointing towards the backyard.

But when the leader saw the backyard, he had to take a deep breath in shock.

"Samara," he whispered under his breath.

Someone's body was on the northern wall of Nick's backyard.

The body was impaled by a spear going through its head!

Beside the corpse lay two black guns.

"East!" someone inside the backyard shouted before two people in cloaks ran towards the eastern wall.

The leader narrowed his eyes and also ran towards the east.

He was far faster than everyone else, and even though the two in the backyard started earlier, the leader arrived in the east first.

However, what greeted him was a huge cloud of smoke covering the area east of the backyard.

The leader and the two from the backyard quickly searched through the area.

"There's a hole!" someone shouted.

The leader quickly reached that spot and saw a big hole in the ground.

At that moment, he realized what had happened in the beginning.

He imagined Nick running from the west to the east after escaping the initial ambush.

So, that was how he managed to get into the house!

And then, the leader's eyes widened as he realized that the target must have done the same but in reverse just now!

Even worse, they had just wasted nearly five seconds searching for Nick in the cloud of smoke!

"Gillian! Disperse the cloud of smoke in the east! Everyone else, he's coming from the west!" the leader shouted.

"Coming!" a deep voice shouted from inside Nick's backyard.

BOOOM!

But then, the leader and the two people beside him heard a loud bang coming from the wall of Nick's backyard!

The three of them ran towards the backyard, but then, the leader saw a bloody spear poking out of the eastern wall of the backyard.

He knew very well what was on the other side of the wall.

The leader felt like the situation was going out of control.

He had to regain control immediately!

"EVERYONE, ASSEMBLE IN THE CENTER OF THE BACKYARD!" the leader shouted with all of his power, his voice booming throughout the surroundings.

Meanwhile, the leader himself jumped over the wall and landed in the middle of the backyard.

The two people who had accompanied him to the east quickly arrived by his side.

BANG!

The sound of something powerful hitting something thundered out of the house.

The two people beside the leader immediately charged towards the south.

"Stop!"

However, they immediately stopped moving after their leader ordered them to stop.

This entire mess had started with them chasing their target's tail like a cat!

The leader wouldn't make the same mistake again!

The leader stepped between the two of them.

"Follow me closely! We can't allow ourselves to get separated!"

The two of them nodded.

Until now, the two of them had been locked onto their target with tunnel vision, and they hadn't noticed their surroundings.

Only now did they realize how bad the situation actually was.

Their leader had called for everyone to gather in the backyard, but they were the only ones there!

Three people in total, including the leader.

This meant that their target had killed eight of their colleagues!

What the fuck were they fighting?!
