"Melody. Where are you?" Clovis inquired while rushing toward Jay and Melody’s general location.
To his surprise, he actually heard gunshots before he could hear her reply.
"Are you okay? Where are you?"
It took Melody a moment to reply, "I’m hurt, but I should be able to get away. I’m planning to go to the hospital. I’ve told Jay to go there, but it seems that he’s attacked there as well."
Clovis frowned. He never thought that the situation would be this dangerous. It was hard to wound Melody unless they had a lot of strong people or ambushed her.
After hearing the gunshots, Clovis believed it was the latter. Hence, he explained the situation briefly. "You guys are the only ones attacked. We’re on the way, but it will take some time. Do whatever you can to survive and regroup with Jay. I’ll take responsibility for all your actions from now on."
Clovis was directly implying that he would take responsibility even if Melody used civilians as shields. At the same time, he didn’t give any detailed instructions so that she could stay flexible. Clovis believed that Melody could lead Jay to gain an upper hand.
"Got it." Melody acknowledged it with a solemn expression. It had been a while since she last had to run away from people, so she thought about doing it the usual way.
The gunshots should have alarmed a lot of people in the area. The more chaotic the situation became, the better.
In the meantime, Clovis was doing whatever he could to reach the hospital. At their current strength, they could easily pass the bustling city faster on foot than by car.
However, reaching Melody would definitely be harder than he originally thought. After all, the enemies seemed to set up several traps.
Because Clovis, Kanaria, and Ragna were running at high speed, they were easily visible and distracted a lot of people.
The people were confused, which was the expected reaction.
However, there were several people who didn’t look distracted. In fact, their expressions were indirectly implying that they were waiting for them.
Clovis could see it slowly due to his affinity. While Kanaria’s Brain Affinity allowed her to have a big field of vision, it was Clovis who could observe the details.
After finding them and seeing these people taking out hidden weapons, Clovis immediately jumped up.
"!!!" The people were confused. "What? What is happening?"
They instinctively took a step back, making way for Clovis.
Once the enemies noticed that they couldn’t use the civilians, they tried to put back their weapons.
Unfortunately, Clovis had reached the first one and immediately kicked the hand down, knocking the knife away.
"Kyaaa!"
"They’re fighting?"
"Watch out!"
The bystanders were panicking, but Clovis simply grabbed the collar of this person and tossed him to the ground before punching him in the stomach.
"Gah!" The guy spat out some acid from his stomach.
Clovis kicked the knife away, the clicking sound the knife produced actually caught people’s attention.
"Knife?"
"Aaaahhh!"
The people looked like they were about to run away, but before the situation became even more chaotic, Clovis pointed at two people in front. "Kanaria, Ragna!"
Kanaria and Ragna quickened their pace. Kanaria jumped and strangled the guy’s neck with her legs, then acrobatically slammed him to the ground. Ragna, on the other hand, rammed his shield on this guy like a truck, causing the guy to fall to the ground.
At the same time, Clovis had also taken out another two people. He even used that chance to kick the weapons away, as if warning everyone that this wasn’t just a simple brawl.
"Watch out!"
"What are you doing?"
"They have knives."

The people’s reactions were varied, but there were a lot of people who were foolish enough to not get scared in this situation. Instead, they were actually taking out their phones and starting to record.
"That’s… Clovis?!"
"Libation Fiesta?"
After they were done, the people had a moment to calm down and finally recognize them.
Clovis gritted his teeth and scanned the area, finding a person who looked calm but was not taking out his camera. He pointed at him, asking, "Call the police! Hurry up! They’re wielding weapons. And immediately evacuate the area."
Clovis hit the enemies, knocking them out. On the one hand, he wanted to stop these unknown people. On the other hand, he had a more important task.
He doubted that these people would be lying down forever. Some might wake up soon because there might be people with Heart Affinity among them.
As if knowing his worries, Kanaria hurriedly said, "Go, Clovis! I will take care of this. You are faster, so you should be able to reach them faster."
Clovis gritted his teeth. He was worried about them, since there was a chance that they would be attacked. However, he could indeed speed up even more.
"Ragna, stay with her!" Clovis hurriedly continued toward the hospital.
"Yes!" Ragna replied out loud. He swore to protect Kanaria, even if it meant risking his life. That was his promise to Clovis when he joined the group after all.
Clovis couldn’t help but grit his teeth. Just looking at this situation, Clovis realized that their plan was to separate them.
Yes, they were divided into two groups. Clovis could go to Jay and Melody, but it meant that he would have to leave Kanaria and Ragna behind. He was sure that those two would be attacked as well.
Knowing Ivan, he would definitely kill Ragna and kidnap Kanaria.
At the same time, Clovis couldn’t really stay with Kanaria and Ragna. If he abandoned the citizens and exposed them to danger, he would lose some credibility. He couldn’t afford it right now since he needed it to strike at the Drake Group.
He didn’t think Ivan was the one who thought about this. However, there was one more card he could use to solve this problem.
He took out his phone, calling a certain number.
