At that moment, Ethan's heart sank into a cold abyss. He never expected that **Garnier** would be waiting for them outside, as if anticipating their every move.
"I'm so screwed. This is too much!"
At the same time, Golden Hand, still muttering about how unfair everything was, jumped out and froze upon seeing the situation.
"Uh... what's going on here?" Golden Hand nudged Ethan's side and whispered.
"What do you think? We're being cornered," Ethan replied bitterly.
"So, what now?"
"Run!" Ethan wasn't ready to just surrender. Stealing from the Lord's treasury was a major crime. No matter the odds, he had to at least try to escape.
"Got it!" Golden Hand didn't hesitate and immediately activated his skill to flee. Ethan followed suit, casting **Blink** to get away.
"**Golden Bell Shield!**"
