Police Station.
"What did you say? Several fights broke out in the city?"
"Yes, Chief." The young officer nodded with a solemn expression, looking at the middle-aged man’s reaction.
"What is going on? What’s the report?" The chief stood up, his body exuding a terrifying aura like that of a hunter.
"We’re not very sure right now, but the assailants seem to have weapons." The young policeman then projected a map from his device, showing two locations. "Two places are currently attacked, but the weird thing is that Libation Fiesta’s members are on the scene. Can we safely assume that these people are trying to attack them?"
The chief couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows the moment he mentioned Libation Fiesta’s name. It was a name he kept hearing in the last few days. "Injuries?"
"We are still trying to figure out the number, but there is no report of death."
"Send all our units out. Capture them all and bring them to jail, including the people from Libation Fiesta."
"What? If we capture the members of Libation Fiesta…" The police looked stunned. With such popularity, if they didn’t have any justification to arrest them, the people would criticize the police’s action.
"I’m not talking about capturing them. I only want them to be brought here. If the assailants are truly attacking them for whatever reason, bringing them here will allow us to protect them. I know those kids are strong, but they’re still kids. On the other hand, this place still has several Tier 3 and Tier 4 humans. This place is much safer."
"Ah, understood!" The police acknowledged the order, knowing that he had misunderstood the order.
"Still, the fact that they’re wielding weapons… are they terrorists?"
"We haven’t found any information regarding their identities yet. However, I don’t think they’re a small group. They have at least sent more than ten Tier 1 humans."
"Their attack pattern?"
"We’re not sure. According to some reports, the Libation Fiesta is the one taking action first."
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
"What? If they’re the first ones taking action… this will just make them in the wrong." The chief facepalmed. If these people claimed to be innocent hunters, it meant Libation Fiesta had harmed innocent civilians. "Whatever. Bring both the assailants and Libation Fiesta here first."
"Yes, sir." The police acknowledged the order and immediately left the room before commanding the troops.
…
"Ha… Ha…" Melody breathed heavily, her face gradually turning pale. She had lost quite a lot of blood. Even when they were injured during the exploration, they would still treat their wounds first before moving to the next location.
On the other hand, it had been five minutes since she had been running, using the alley to hide herself. If she continued this way, she might not be able to fight anymore once she reached the hospital.
’How could Clovis and those people be able to fight while losing a lot of blood?’ Melody bit her lips.
Finally, she made a last turn and saw the hospital outside the alley. Without hesitation, she headed to the hospital.
The condition of her brother kept flashing in her head. Because she couldn’t reach Jay, she was worried that Jay was already defeated and her brother was in danger.
Still, she was actually surprised that there was a person on top of the hospital.
’A person? No. That’s…’ Melody squinted her eyes. Due to the eye technique Clovis gave her, she was able to see the details of the person on the rooftop. ’…Sniper?’
Without hesitation, she jumped to the side, using the garbage dump to hide herself.
Bang!
The sniper shot at her, piercing through the garbage dump. Fortunately, the garbage and the metal plate had deflected the trajectory.
After that, Melody hurriedly rushed forward, not caring about the person chasing her or the sniper. If she remained here, the sniper could easily take her out as well. Hence, the only thing she could do was push forward.
The sniper was about to shoot again, so Melody thought about confusing the sniper with zig-zag movements or finding another spot to hide before the sniper released another bullet.
But she saw the sniper suddenly turn around as if he were pointing at someone on the rooftop.
"!!!" Melody widened her eyes in shock. All of a sudden, she saw a big trash bin being thrown into the sniper.
As a result, the sniper had no choice but to get away as another person was approaching his location.
’I don’t know who that is,, but this is my chance.’ Melody sped up even if her body was about to give up.
However, her hope soon shattered the moment she saw a group of people suddenly appear outside the alley. No, they were entering the alley as if they were trying to stop her.
If she took another look, these people were actually the ten guys that were trying to ambush her before.
’What?’ Melody gritted her teeth. She clenched her pistol tightly, thinking, ’I might have to kill all of them to push through.’
Still, she had another option, which was to loop around. To do that, she had to turn back and face the guy who had been chasing her this whole time. That was probably the easiest option, but she was worried about her brother.
Her heart was telling her to push through, no matter her condition, but her body was screaming that it was impossible to face all those ten guys with her current condition.
She bit her lips, facing a dilemma. She had always told Clovis that her brother was more important than her life, so she chose to take the risk.
Melody raised her pistol, but these ten guys seemed to have prepared as well. Two of them were holding shields and took the lead.
"!!!" Melody hesitated to shoot them since it would be useless. However, it couldn’t be helped. She started shooting, unleashing the rest of her bullets to suppress them for a bit while approaching them. "Aaaahhh!"
Melody didn’t care anymore. She was going to push through.
The ten guys were already prepared to receive her attack, but the next thing they realized, there was a scream coming from Melody’s back.
In that instant, footsteps echoed inside the alley before the person jumped over Melody and kicked the shields, blasting these two people away.
Melody gasped. "Clovis?!"
