"What happened?" Liao Heng, one of the spies peeked from the window as the coachman screamed loudly and ran away.
Instantly, his eyes widened as he saw the Battle Tank in the place where an Elite should be waiting. "What the hell is that?"
Du Fu, the other spy also looked at it. He started to sweat in panic, "Doesn't it look exactly the same as the rumors we heard?"
If it is really the same one, then, Du Fu knew that he and his companion fucked up. After all, even a six-circle realm like Song Yun was helpless. What could they do?
But then again, they don't have anything to do with the enemy. And who knows the possible enemy might even help them if they reveal Song Yue is with for she is the daughter of Song Yun. Du Fu has a lot of worrisome thoughts going on his mind.
Meanwhile, Liao Heng stepped down from the carriage, thinking that their helper might be in that giant metal thing. Maybe, they have to shift the package to the carriage with no animal to carry it.
However, just as he made two steps forward, his eyes fell on Allen with a sword smeared with blood and the head of a horse behind him. Allen continued to walk towards him. His red blood pupils were scanning the enemy standing before him.
"Scanning the target. Beginner stage, 4-circle realm"
"Who are you?" Liao Heng frowned deeply. He realized that it wasn't the one that was supposed to receive them. As Allen continued to walk forward, his heartbeat rose in panic. "What… what do you want?"
Allen didn't give any reply and just dashed forward. Before Liao Heng knew what's going on, the sword swiftly cut off his head.
"Brother Liao…" Du Fu screamed in horror as he saw the head of his comrade was severed from the body with just one strike. Now, he confirmed that this higher realm fellow might be here to save Song Yue. As a person who was trained as a spy for decades before being employed at Lin Mansion, he wasn't that much of a coward that he would lose his senses in fear.
He quickly got off from the carriage while taking her as a hostage with a dagger at her throat.
Du Fu threatened Allen who set his eyes on him, "don't come near or else, I'll kill her."
Allen stopped in his tracks as his primary objective is to rescue Song Yue. Killing the abductors is only secondary.
Du Fu is inwardly relieved that the enemy seems like listening to him. But, soon, he realized that he greatly underestimated the Android.
As he slowly backed away with the unconscious Song Yue, Allen who received permission to use his skill attacks, unleashed one of them.
His blood-red pupils glowed for a fraction of a second before a powerful laser light unleashed from both of his eyes, aiming at Du Fu's legs.
*Argh* Du Fu screamed in pain with a set of holes appeared on his body, each of them is on each leg, completely making a hole out of bone, thereby breaking the legs.
As the spy was about to fall on the ground, Allen quickly dashed forward and caught Song Yue before looking around for the third enemy who was supposed to be in the 5-circle realm.
When he didn't find the guy, Allen carried Song Yue in his arms and walked back towards the Battle Tank to report to his Master about the success of the mission.
However, to his surprise, Mark wasn't opening the door at all. He wasn't busy is either creating weapons or looking at the quest.
Mark's eyes were rather fixed on one of the screens where he found a particular ordinary horse carriage parked far away.
When he zoomed in, he saw a black-robed coachman of that carriage who appeared anything but normal.
But, he wasn't the one that caused him surprise but it was the lady who put her head outside the window and was looking at the scene through binoculars.
Mark continued to zoom and when it reached 40x, the picture was a bit blurry but he indeed discovered her identity. A look of surprise appeared on his face. "Isn't this the same girl who accompanied Song Yue, a few days ago? She didn't buy anything but if I remember right, she's the heiress of Lin Clan, right?"
Realization dawned upon him. "That means even if I don't rescue her, she'll be saved. If that's the case, then, why was I given a mission?"
It also brought a little bit of confusion to him. So, he asked the system about it, to which the latter replied that it never stated that Song Yue will not be saved if Mark fails to save her.
It further stated that the System gave him an opportunity to make peace with the Song Family so that his progress will not be hindered because of revenge.
After making his decision, Mark finally opened the door and got out of the tank where he found his loyal servant is still carrying Song Yue in silence with his eyes fixed on the Tank. Meanwhile, Du Fu who ate a recovery pill was crying in pain nonstop because of a very slow rate of bone recovery. The residual effect of laser eyes is resisting the recovery ability.
"Allen, leave her in the carriage, and let's go…" Mark passed an order to Allen and purposely stared in the direction of the carriage which looks very tiny from far away.
As he doesn't know how they will interpret his stare, he raised his hand, waved it, and pointed at the carriage. With Lin Xue watching through binoculars, he believed that she could see his gestures and saw what Allen is doing too.
After several minutes, the Battle Tank left the place, Lin Xue ordered her bodyguard to drive towards the location.
When they reached the place, she also found another familiar figure on the ground, at the place where the Tank was used to be. The unconscious injured bald monk was the same one that tried to ambush her and her friends a while ago during her trip.
"Back then, he escaped with his disciple. Now, he was caught. You are in luck, Lady Lin." Yao Ling commented as he got down from the carriage.
"Yeah, I guess…" She mumbled while staring at the empty space. Her eyes were fixed on the direction where the Battle Tank left. "Allen, huh!"
The sword strike of Allen left a deep impression on her and a sense of competitiveness emerged in her heart.
After a few hours, Song Yue found herself in Lin Xue's room. As the daughter of a minister, she was being abducted a lot of times from her childhood. So, her first thought wasn't the kidnappers but her father.
Lin Xue told her the good news, "Don't worry. Uncle Yun is resting at the Royal Healer's quarters. He was brought in time. So, there's no danger to his life."
"Thank goodness…" Song Yue sighed in relief upon hearing that her father was well. It was then, she asked her friend about the abduction.
Lin Xue smiled as she explained in detail, "I never planned to leave you alone from the start."
When she heard there might be an attack because of the commotion in the city, the Lin Clan's heiress was even more determined to protect Song Yue as the two soldiers accompanying the Song clan heiress are only of the 4-circle realm.
So, after Song Yue has set off to her home, Lin Xue also quietly followed from far away with her personal bodyguard Yao Ling, a six-circle realm of the Assassin path.
Lin Xue only intended to go in secret so as to not worry her friend but she didn't expect the two soldiers who were supposed to walk on foot to suddenly intrude the carriage and abduct her friend.
Naturally, she was filled with rage.
If not for the fact that her bodyguard has a special skill that lets him see through the objects, she would have long interrupted the carriage and kill them right away.
Upon realizing that her friend is safe, she wanted to see where they were taking her. She wanted to know whether it is just a normal abduction or there's more to it.
In the process, she discovered the Battle Tank, Allen, and Mark saving her. While Song Yue is sleeping, Lin Xue also investigated the matter.
"It was Owner Lu who attacked my father and it was also him who saved me?" Song Yue didn't know how to react to the reality that happened all because she purchased things from the Genesis store.
