Matsuri and John quickly left the scene when the attention wasn't on them. Seeing as they were thought to be a part of the Elite Dragon Brigade conducting an investigation the members of the Yui Clan didn't block their paths.
The Yui Clan weren't worried about the inspection, since the contraband items that they have weren't even in the estate. So no matter how much the soldiers of the Elite Dragon Brigade searched they would never find anything here.
Some of the Yui Clan members even thought that the Elite Dragon Brigade was full of idiots for not realizing that they wouldn't place such things inside their estate. They were blissfully unaware that the true target of this sudden inspection was John's daughter Milly.
...
Even though John didn't know much about the deeper situation of the Yui Clan, John still had some understanding of it. John's wife Sakura once told him about the hidden base that was located underground at the edge of the Yui Clan's estate.
It was as Matsuri said before once the Yui Clan learned of the impending inspection, they would most likely hide the kidnapped Milly. The only place that these people could hide Milly without the soldiers finding out was the secret base.
As John and Matsuri were heading to the outside base's direction, John saw at the corner of his eye a little girl sitting in a wheelchair. This little girl was surrounded by the most powerful experts of the Yui Clan. It didn't take him long to see that this little girl was actually his daughter Milly.
No longer able to hold back John was about to burst into action. Seeing John's reaction Matsuri knew that the girl John was looking at was his little girl. She wanted to stop him from making any rash actions but before she could say anything John had already started running.
Matsuri clicked her tongue as she pulled out the enhancer and connected it to her gun. She then took out a syringe and injected herself. This was the booster police officers use when unexpected situations with martial artists happen. These boosters were able to increase a normal person's strength into one that could match the strength of at least a rank two martial artist and depending on the condition of the user they could even contend with a rank four martial artist for a limited time.
After the incident with Loki, she knew that in her current condition even with the enhancers on her guns she wouldn't be able to capture the assassin. So using the previous incident of the former commissioner as leverage, she was able to convince the higher-ups to give her several syringes of the booster.
After injecting the booster into her body, Matsuri felt her heart beating faster than before it felt like it was going to explode, this was a side effect of the booster. Once she was done stabilizing herself she quickly ran after John.
...
There were ten rank six martial artists were escorting Milly to the outside base. They were once simple clan members with good potential, but when the third elder left with almost all of their top fighters, these ten suddenly became the strongest force in the Yui Clan.
As the ten of them were escorting Milly, they noticed something approaching them at high speed. John then punched one of the escorts. Yet despite catching them by surprise, and releasing every bit of strength he could muster John's punch was easily caught. The difference of power between a rank five and a rank six was on full display.
The ten wanted to retaliate but then they remembered that soldiers of the Elite Dragon Brigade had come to do an inspection. This person wearing a weird mask and cloak could be part of the Elite Dragon Brigade.
"Are you one of the soldiers sent here by the Brigade to do an inspection?"
"..." John did not reply and tried to escape from the person's grip.
"If you don't reply, I will treat you as an intruder and by the laws set by the country for the martial clans, I will execute you."
John continued to remain silent, it seems like John had no intention to respond to his question. Knowing this the ten of them decided to finish John off. Even if the Elite Dragon Brigade complains later, they can answer that the other party did not respond to their inquiries and simply attacked.
As the ten rank six martial artists were about to kill John, they suddenly heard gunshots. Normally people of their level could easily dodge bullets, but to their surprise, before they could even move the bullets had already pierced some parts of their hands and legs.
The one who was holding John had several gunshot wounds in his right hand. The other rank six martial artists of the Yui Clan had also received some damage. Most of them got hit on the shoulder or legs. The only firearm that could move so fast were guns that had enhancers installed.
The ten of them were startled for a few seconds after getting injured. It was at that moment somebody suddenly shouted.
"TAKE HER AND RUN!"
John who was released from his opponent's grip heard Matsuri's voice and sprinted towards his daughter. He quickly carried his daughter and sprinted away. The ten finally realized what was happening and were about to follow John but then Matsuri started firing at them, stopping them in their tracks. Even with their physical prowess as rank six martial artists, the advantage of a gun with enhancers was evident. Coupled with the fact that the one wielding the gun had the speed and dexterity of at least a rank three martial artist made it even more difficult to dodge.
Matsuri took out a grenade and tossed it towards the ten, then using the speed and dexterity she gained from the booster, she quickly took out a second gun. The first gun kept on firing at the ten, while the second fired at the grenade making it explode mid-air.
The ten were distracted for a moment as they all looked at the exploding grenade. It was in that interval Matsuri had sneakily tossed a stun grenade. Before the ten realized what had happened, the stun grenade exploded blinding them.. As martial artists of a higher rank the effects of the stun grenade did not last long, but the moment they had regained their senses the woman firing at them had already disappeared.
