Melody bit her lips. She muttered inwardly, ’What an old fox. He clearly knows that the beast wave won’t be able to destroy this city, so he is using this situation to make his stance clear without losing his group’s strength.
’If we follow his words blindly, there’s a chance that he is just tricking us. He is waiting for us to leave so that they can aid President Thomas. Killing that assassin will make their words more credible.
’On the other hand, if we don’t leave, we can still stop them if they are trying to help President Thomas. Fighting this group will be hard… No, we will be defeated with our condition, but we won’t go down easily. We can still buy a lot of time from them.
’But in this scenario, we have to actually leave Clovis alone. What should we do? If it’s Clovis, what will he choose? No. Clovis is not here, and I have to make a decision as quickly as possible.’
Melody didn’t know what to choose.
’No. There is still a chance.’ Melody shouted, "Jay!"
"!!!" Jay’s expression turned grim, ready to fight them if Melody wanted him to do so.
However, Melody pointed in Clovis’ direction, saying, "Go help, Clovis! The rest of us will stay here."
Jay didn’t hesitate to go toward their vehicle and immediately drove off to help Clovis. The rest furrowed their eyebrows, not knowing whether they could defend this position or not.
Melody’s plan was not to defend. It was to get their leader back with them.
Jay’s condition was the best among them, and with his help, Clovis should be able to defeat the Tier 5 assassin. He was also smart enough to tell Clovis everything that transpired here and make a good judgment.
As soon as Jay and Clovis eliminated the assassin, Clovis could finally take the leader role again and command them better than her.
That was why Melody chose to buy some time from them.
Melody then turned to the Panorama Group while asking with a stern tone. "Do you think we can really trust you?"
The middle-aged man frowned. "We are here to make our stance clear. We’re here to fight for the city."
"Do you think I don’t know your relationship with the Rusth family?" Melody didn’t back down.
Melody kept cornering them with all the words she could find in her mind. It was to buy time for Jay.
…
Meanwhile, Clovis was in a bad position. He coughed a few times, blood flowing out of the corner of his lips.
He managed to hold on, but the opponent was simply too strong.
His body was wounded all over. The assassin managed to stab his left arm and shoulder.
Of course, Clovis wasn’t planning to just take the beating. He also had inflicted a lot of damage on the assassin. There were a lot of superficial wounds, but he managed to cut his side a bit deeper and his thigh.
However, Reolf was also injured quite heavily as well.
The assassin looked frustrated since Clovis kept fighting back like he was a machine.

The buff he got from the bite-sized food had long gone. Even those from the normal food and his perfect state were going to disappear in several minutes.
The moment his perfect state was over, the assassin would defeat him.
The assassin charged forward, slashing Clovis from the right.
Clovis raised his sword to block it, but the force knocked him back until he crashed into the minibus.
Even though the assassin’s strength had been depleted after all those wounds, he was still stronger than Clovis since he was also exhausted.
Reolf pounced on the assassin, but the latter skillfully spun his body and launched a back kick, sending Reolf to Clovis.
"Kh!" Clovis gritted his teeth.
Reolf tried to get up, but the assassin was about to reach him. Clovis pushed Reolf aside, causing the dagger to hit his body.
Fortunately, the assassin was still scared to kill him immediately. As a result, he slightly pulled back his dagger so that it didn’t produce a fatal strike.
In fact, this was his method to survive this long.
While enduring the pain, Clovis kicked the assassin’s stomach, blowing him away.
After that, he shot the assassin, forcing the latter to avoid it by moving to the side. He threw his dagger at Clovis’ hand, which ultimately knocked the pistol off his hand.
"Tsk!" Clovis fixed his posture as blood kept pouring out of his body. He jumped toward the assassin.
The latter managed to recover before Clovis arrived. He struck Clovis’ blades with all his strength, planning to destroy him, only to find Reolf arriving at the same time.
Reolf opened his mouth wide as if he were ready to rip apart the assassin’s arm with his teeth the moment the assassin struck Clovis.
Unfortunately for them, the assassin managed to react at the last second, changing his target from Clovis to Reolf.
The dagger scratched Reolf’s nose, but this distraction allowed Clovis to hit the assassin’s left shoulder.
The assassin kicked him on the stomach before Clovis could swing any further.
At the same time, Reolf continued and bit his arm.
"Argh!" The assassin screamed before kicking Reolf away.
"Aooo!" Reolf howled as his body slid for several meters. Because he was weaker than Clovis, he ended up becoming the first one to struggle to get up.
Reolf kept flapping its body, but it was futile. He had exhausted his strength.
This was the assassin’s chance to kill this annoying wolf. He leaped toward Reolf.
"Die!" The assassin roared as he swung his dagger downward with the fastest speed he could muster at the moment.
Reolf knew that this would be over for him, but surprisingly, he felt no pain. Instead, there was a clicking sound echoing in their ears.
"!!!" All of them raised their heads, finding Jay.
Jay had arrived. He blocked the dagger and kicked the assassin to the wall, giving Clovis and Reolf breathing time while declaring his arrival.
"You took longer than I thought." Clovis smiled.
