Hao Ren regretted the moment he threw the MDT out: what if the lady had gotten away with the MDT? He may not have been able to get a replacement from Raven 12345...
However, what happened next proved that not everyone has bats in the belfry like the lasses in Hao Ren’s house. When the scarred lady saw the hexagonal, metal object with a bluish glow, her first thought was it being some kind of ‘hidden weapon’. Wary that it may have been an explosive, she did not parry it. In the blink of an eye, she spatially shifted and reemerged 20 meters away. She raised her crossbow almost immediately and fired a shot!
Hao Ren was prepared this time. His muscles were ready to fire whenever he summoned them. As the silver bolt approached, he quickly slanted his body... but he was still hit in the knee.
