Chapter 39 Masked Man
The two, chatting and laughing, were unaware that they were being watched. After resting for a while, they decided to continue dragging the two bags in front of them.
"Let's go... Hey!"
"What's wrong?"
There's a snake.
"Wow, look at you! A snake has scared you so much!"
"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
"Wow, this snake is quite good at wriggling."
"Stop playing around, hurry up and finish this so we can leave."
"I'm just curious."
Just as the two were about to leave, the bird that had been perched on the eaves suddenly swooped down.
Tear it apart!
A spurt of blood flew out, and the masked man screamed in pain.
"Holy crap, where did this bird come from? Shoot it down for me!"
Upon hearing Number One's cries of agony, Number Two immediately grabbed a wooden stick and began to beat the mechanical bird repeatedly.
However, although the bird was mechanical, it was quite agile. No matter how Number Two swung its arms, it could easily dodge the attacks and even launch a few sneak attacks when the bird was out of position. This little bird alone caused the two of them a lot of trouble.
"What are you doing!"
Is now the time to play with birds?
Just then, another masked man arrived with two others. Seeing these two idiots teasing a little bird, he was speechless and couldn't help but shout angrily.
"This isn't a joke, this bird has been trying to catch us!"
Number One seemed a little afraid of the leader, and shrank his neck, saying with a somewhat aggrieved tone.
"You've been trapped by just one bird? I don't know what you're capable of doing!"
The masked leader berated them while ordering one of the masked men to help them.
However, the result was............
"Boss, this bird is so agile!"
The masked leader also noticed, so he stepped forward himself, took out a small knife from his pocket, and shot it directly at the bird.
This masked leader was clearly no ordinary man; with a casual toss of his dagger, he struck a bird that none of the three men could catch.

The little bird was quite fragile; it was shot down with just one slash and fell to the ground. It thrashed about twice, unable to get up, with only its pair of red, glowing eyes remaining.
As the bird fell, the girl in the basement of the Sensen Tavern let out a frustrated groan.
With her bird destroyed, she could only watch helplessly as the two bags were dragged away by the bad guys, just like the incompetent husband in the movie.
"no!"
The girl shouted at the top of her lungs, and although her words were as fragile as a bird's song, her spirit was unwavering.
How do I get out?
The girl's eyes darted around as she looked at the large iron gate of the studio.
What the girl didn't notice was that, just as she was thinking about how to get out, a small white snake appeared on the screen transmitted by the mechanical bird.

.....................
"who!"
The masked leader looked at the middle-aged man blocking his way with wary eyes.
However, the man did not answer him, but simply held the fan in his hand and gently fanned himself.
"Boss, more people are coming from behind!"
Just then, his underling suddenly shouted again. Upon hearing this, the masked leader turned around and saw a giant standing behind them. The giant just standing there gave off a powerful sense of oppression.
The person is not good!
The masked leader tensed up; these two looked like troublemakers.
"I wonder where I have offended you two brothers?"
The masked leader planned to feign weakness first, a tactic he often used. Feigning weakness at the start has many advantages: first, it makes the opponent underestimate him, creating more advantages for the subsequent battle; second, perhaps feigning weakness can directly solve the problem. He is not a person who advocates violence, and if a problem can be solved with words, he would never resort to violence.
Faced with the masked leader's question, the giant man did not speak, but the middle-aged man fanning himself slowly spoke.
"My boss is looking for you."
Who is your boss?
"You'll know when you get there."
What if I don't go?
"You have no choice."
"Alright then...I..."
"Fuck you!"
The masked man, who was in the lead, lowered his voice, giving everyone the impression that he was admitting defeat. However, he suddenly launched an attack, targeting the middle-aged man who looked weaker.
The man, seeing this, remained calm and continued fanning himself as he watched the oncoming figure rush towards him.
The masked leader became enraged when he saw the middle-aged man looking down on him so much.
He was, after all, an extraordinary being, and one who was close to advancing to the Bronze level, or even half a Bronze level, only lacking the blessing of the gods. Moreover, he had a record of killing an entry-level Bronze level person, so he could be considered a little genius. Yet now he was being looked down upon like this.
"We happen to be short-handed, so I'll just kill you and take you back!"
As he rushed over, he pulled a short sword from his sleeve and thrust it at the middle-aged man.
However, just as he was about to stab the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man suddenly flashed away, and with a burst of purple light in front of him, the middle-aged man disappeared directly from his sight.
"We are not in disguise. Even in human form, we still possess our original strength. You'd better be careful."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man who had disappeared reappeared beside him, holding a fan and walking leisurely, as if what was happening was not a battle, but an elder teaching a younger generation, or even teasing him.
The masked leader, witnessing this, was startled. Such methods were definitely not something a superhuman could use. This guy...
It's Bronze tier!
The masked leader, who had deduced this scene, was immediately pounding with excitement. Although he had a record of killing Bronze-ranked enemies, this guy was clearly different from those weak Bronze-ranked minions. This guy fought with a completely lecturing attitude, looking completely calm.
What happened next terrified him even more, because his underlings suddenly screamed in agony. When he turned around, he saw three of his underlings lying on their backs on the ground, while the remaining underling was being held in the giant's hand, looking like he was carrying a little chick.
That was resolved so quickly!
Is it also Bronze Rank?
The masked leader felt a sense of despair, as if the heavens were against him. Just then, the middle-aged man with the fan spoke again.
"You don't need to worry. As their leader, we will naturally not harm you. You just need to come with us obediently. If the king is pleased, you may be able to keep your life."
