Chapter 286 Just in Case of Unexpected Events

"It's careless. You should have expected this."

Annan sighed exaggeratedly.

He really ignored this.

The purpose of the King of the Rings, who wears gold-rimmed glasses, has never changed. This is very obvious, but he focused all his attention on himself, so he neglected such an important thing.

"But, actually, it doesn't matter."

Annan touched his chin and looked at the gang boss who was pretending to smoke a cigar in front of him.

"Mr. Ayrault, guess how many people came to you today?"

Aero suddenly froze.

He tried hard to control his expression, but his brief wavering was still captured.

"I did misunderstand the key point of the matter. I don't have any so-called back-ups or preparations, but I still have some measures just in case."

Annan grinned.

"I just don't know if things will go smoothly over there. After all, that guy is still far from being restored to a perfect state. If you are well prepared, you might actually capsize in the gutter. But then again, how did you figure it out? Where are those children?"

The hiding place of the nine children with superpowers is known to only a few people.

Veronica and her daughter, who are responsible for taking care of those children, are also cautious enough when going out, and will pay attention to whether anyone is following them.

Even with constant surveillance, it's not that easy to find where those children are hidden.

"Sure enough, is it some superpower-related technology that we don't know about?"

Annan thought of Zooey, the experimental subject of the Witch Plan.

Zooey, a child who imitated the witch of chaos, also has strong external fluctuation reactions that ordinary people cannot detect. Even Anna, the bounty hunter who has been taking care of the child, did not notice such an obvious reaction. .

If those children with superpowers also emit some superpower-related reactions, it really wouldn't be difficult to find them.

After all, in this low-magic world where magic exists, so-called superpowers have never appeared before. Almost everyone in the world knows nothing about superpowers. The existence of certain detection instruments actually does not exist. Not surprising.

Annan soon stopped thinking about these things.

It's better for him to focus on the things in front of him, since he can't catch up with the other side now anyway.

Besides, there should be no problem over there, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

"Mr. Ayrault, are you willing to surrender?"

Annan was a pacifist, so he raised the grenade gun in his hand and issued his final inquiry in good faith.

"If possible, we don't want to hurt you, as long as you are willing to answer our questions obediently, and also, in order to calm down the city as soon as possible, can you be arrested without mercy?"

"Children! Hide!"

Veronica, who was dressed quite plainly, tried hard to control the fear in her heart, and arranged for the children with super powers living in this safe house to hide separately as quickly as possible.

She knew what kind of plan she would have tonight, but even so, she still came here to take care of these children regardless of rain or shine.

This is her duty, and she will not ignore or evade it.

However, it did not occur to her that this place would also be a target.

And the terrible thing is that the people who attacked this place were not ordinary gangsters. It would be a good thing to say that even if this place was attacked by a hostile gangster, it would be a good thing.

"Those ghosts outside...are those evil spirits that the black magician once said...are controlled by the so-called Lord of the Rings?"

Veronica has activated the defense device of the safe house, placing thick protective walls on all entrances and exits of the house, but even so, she is not sure whether this physical method can block the large number of people who had glimpsed earlier. A terrifying shadow.

"Fortunately...Paige is not here..."

The only thing Veronica is glad about now is that her daughter cannot come here to help because of tonight's plan.

If even her daughter was involved, she would really not know what to do.

If something goes wrong, it's enough for you.

"An emergency distress signal has been sent, and the next step is... waiting..."

Veronica believes that her companion will definitely arrive, but when will it arrive is another question.

She looked down at the pistol held tightly in her hand.

"The worst case scenario... is that I have to use this gun on myself..."

Veronica took a deep breath.

She was prepared for the worst.

Just when this beautiful woman was about to fall into despair, she suddenly heard the noise of fighting coming from outside.

"This is……"

If the inside and outside of the safe house hadn't been completely sealed and unable to see the outside scene, Veronica would probably have stuck her head out to observe the situation.

The noise outside became more and more intense.

Veronica didn't know what the situation was. She could only pray in her heart that everything would develop in a good direction.

＊

"This is indeed unexpected..."

The Bayonet of the Lord of the Rings, who transformed into a pale shadow, held the pale silver sword that he had assimilated in his hand, and neatly killed two ghosts of the Ring who only had instincts.

"Fortunately, my mission today is to be a fire fighter in case of unexpected events, otherwise..."

As the bayonet of the Lord of the Rings, even if his strength has not been restored at all, or even half of his original strength, he can still clearly feel the aura of the Lord of the Rings in the same city.

Therefore, when the auras of multiple Lord of the Rings appeared here, he rushed over as fast as possible without stopping.

When he arrived, this area had been blocked by the barrier of the Lord of the Rings, but it was not difficult for Bayonet to break through this mere barrier.

Bayonet knew where the room behind him was, where his collaborators hid the children of those with super powers.

When he discovered the ten evil spirits enslaved by the rings in front of him, Bayonet automatically connected various clues in his mind and figured out what was going on.

"The purpose of the King of the Rings, who controls everything behind the scenes, has never changed... From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to expose the children of these superpowers..."

After Bayonet arrived at the scene, he quickly killed two Nazgul who were about to rush into the safe house. There were still eight enemies left.

With this number, in his heyday, he could kill them all with one sword, but even if he was injured at this moment, it would only take a lot of effort.

"There are no other Lords of the Ring nearby, and it feels like there should be no other reinforcements, but there may be other unexpected means. In that case..."

Bayonet turned the pale sword in his hand, and at the same time drew power from one of the magic rings in his hand.

"Let's fight quickly!"
