Child of Destiny

...

Shiella was currently wearing tight combat suit that she always brought with her for this kind of emergency situation. She took a quick change when she went to the restroom earlier. And since taking of her dress was pretty troublesome, she had no choice but to rip it apart even though it broke her heart. Instead, she poured all of her anger and frustrations to the members of the Hextech Laboratory.

She already informed the guards and her mother earlier. And to prevent the event from getting ruined, they purposely made the movements of their security known to the opposing side. The guards stationed inside the hall were also ready take action at any given moment, so the people of the Hextech Laboratory had no choice but to move in secrecy.

The captain of each unit from the lab's hunting dogs originally wanted to create a commotion within the event and used the chaos as a cover for their escape. But when they saw that the guards were already marking each of the people that were making suspicious movements, they did not have a choice but to pull out silently since it would only put themselves in risk if they carelessly create a commotion.

Such an old move would never work on these people, who already went through similar situations. Moreover, the captains also noticed that the guards were not the only ones who were marking their men. There were a couple of people mixed in the guests, who seemed to be targeting them.

Those people were the guys that Joaquin had brought. After hearing the situation from David, he had no choice but to make the presence of his men known to scare the people of the Hextech Laboratory.

Joaquin had informed David that his men had unique pins attached on their suits, so it was easy to identify them. And the latter quickly relied it to Shiella so that she could passed the message to the people of the Flying Dragon Corporation.

They move rather quickly despite only knowing the news. They even moved in coordinated manner, covering all of the escape routes that the opposing side would possibly take. This sight made the people of the Hextech Laboratory to panic and forced them to hurry over.

Joaquin hid himself among the crowd as he marked the strongest-looking men of the opposing side. At the same time, he also told his men to chase after their targets but purposely let them leave the hotel. It was to prevent any unnecessary trouble that would ruin the event.

It was the same for the guards of the Flying Dragon Corporation. They were pursuing their respective targets but maintained a good distance, purposely letting the opposing party to have an easy time escaping.

It was no like they gave up on capturing these people. Instead, they were planning to gather everyone and cast a net around them, catching everyone in a single scoop.

Shiella had purposely presented herself as a bait, so that the other side would focus on her instead of creating a commotion when they were escaping. After all, taking her as a hostage was more effective than doing something that would make themselves known.

This silent war continued to for a few minutes until the 'battlefield' became the streets and parks near the Grand Sunshine Hotel. The two sides exchanged a couple of 'moves' during the entire process.

The people of the Hextech Laboratory scattered around while the guards of the Flying Dragon Corporation and the people brought by Joaquin chased after them.

Naturally, some of these people from the laboratory were bound to be the decoys and escape goats to let the main force escaped.

It was at this movement when the true abilities of the 'Hundred Beast' was shown. He immediately started his hunt in this concrete jungle. He moved like a stealthy predator and started capturing the people from the opposing side one after another. Given his strength as one of the most powerful experts in Domain Realm, no one was able to stop from his tracks.

This was when the captains of the hunting dogs of the lab understood the severity of their situation. They also realized that they had been tricked by the other side.

"Captain Hakuna! Capture the young lady of the Springfield Family as soon as possible, someone terrifying is currently hot on our tail," said one of the unit captains on his earpiece while exchanging glances with the other two people running alongside him.

These two were also captains on their respective units. Their individual strength was only at the peak of the Void Manifestation Stage which was far too weak compared to the powerful opponent chasing after them. But if they combined their strengths and work together, they at least had the chance against it.

Moreover, they could also use their respective 'Evil Seed' if the situation called for it. They refused to believe that Joaquin could defeat them if they Evil Transformation.

"We are going to buy you some time, so capture her as soon as possible," he said as he turned around and got ready for battle.

They waited for a few moments until Joaquin, who was currently in disguise, appeared in their vision. He was walking leisurely in the path walk with both of his hands tucked on his pockets. He walked out from the dark like a beast hunting under the shadows of the night.

"Tsk! Tsk! Have you stopped running already? Continue on – I think we are still far from your gathering point," he said while wearing a smirking smile.

"Who are you?! And why are you getting in our way?!" said one of the captains as they prepared themselves for battle.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Is that important?" said Joaquin while lazily picking his ear. He waited until the three positioned themselves in a decent formation before continuing. "Hakuna, the sleeping monster. He is the one leading this operation, right?"

"There is no need to deny it. I already heard you mention that alias when talking on the line earlier," he added in absolute certainty.

"Attack!" said the leading captain, not bothering to ask any question anymore. Within their circle, there were only a few people who knew the name Hakuna. And if the person in front of them knew that alias, then it could only mean that they knew the structure of their organization to a certain degree.

Anyone who had that kind of knowledge outside of their organization needed to be eliminated as soon as possible, silencing them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Seeing their actions, Joaquin suddenly grinned widely while muttering to himself. "Too easy!"

*********

In the meantime, back in the neighborhood where Shin and the others were staying.

The situation in that place seemed to have settled down to a certain degree. The sounds of battle and explosions could no longer be heard. At least, that was the case in front of the villa where the girls were staying.

Ghost Chopper suffered a certain degree of injuries from fighting the girls but he still able to take them down in the end.

The personal guard that was supposedly protecting Alice was currently lying on the ground, unconscious. Whether she was alive or dead was still unknown.

Alice was currently leaning on the broken wall behind her while pressing her hand on her waist where a huge wound was currently present. She was doing her best to stop the intense bleeding of that wound with her mentalism techniques. But since their opponent was also a master of mentalism, her mental energy was currently being suppressed by a certain poison that was making it hard for her to control her mental energy properly.

Lorraine was not in a good condition either. She was in a similar state as Alice and could not even raise her other arm to raise her gun. It seemed like her shoulder was shattered by Ghost Chopper since he got annoyed by her accurate shooting. If not for her formidable body constitution that she had hone through her martial-arts alongside her basic understanding of mentalism techniques, she might be in much worse condition now.

In the meantime, Cloe was currently being lifted by Ghost Chopper with one hand. He was holding her neck, slightly choking her as he glared at her. "This should not have happened if you only come with us peacefully. You are to blame for their current state."

"You are lucky. If not for our contractor insisting to bring back without much injuries, I will have broken a bone or two," he said sharply.

He was not expecting that he would have to spend quite a lot of effort at taking down these girls despite using his trump card. Not only he failed to defeat them in a short time, but he also suffered quite a few injuries in the process. One of his arms got heavily injured while also having a couple of broken ribs.

Fortunately, he was a Mentalist with a decent healing capability. He was able to cure his injuries to a certain degree, healing himself to the point where those injuries would not be able to hinder his movements.

He then looked over his shoulders and stared at the dome of shadow boundary in the distance before muttering to himself. "I have to wrap this up as soon as possible. Mad Dog will not be able to hold out that much longer either."

He then turned back to Cloe and was about to put her to sleep when he suddenly heard the girl laughing. He slightly raised his brows and looked at her in suspicion. And when he was about to ask why she was laughing, he suddenly heard her say with extreme difficultly. "You are right. I am quite lucky, indeed!"

She then paused for a moment and cough slightly before continuing. "I mean, very lucky."

Ghost Chopper was about to ask her what she was talking about. But before he could even open his mouth, a powerful pressure suddenly pressed on him alongside a cold voice saying.

"What do you think are you doing?"
