Mei, who had rushed out of the room, was now prepared to take down all her enemies.
But the moment she ran out, Mei, who had been planning to pinpoint the enemy's location by their footsteps, heard a sound.
A sound that was rarely heard in normal Far Eastern society.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Mei looked at her shoulder in disbelief. Blood flowed out after being grazed by the attack.
This is... a gun?
The person who framed Dad has no bottom line. I might be in mortal danger...
What Lin Yu said... was all true.
These guys...
Are they really trying to kill me?
I'll see about the remaining two chapters tomorrow... Hmm, I'll finish them before 5:10 PM on the 16th.
As long as I can finish them before then, I'll have written eight chapters in 24 hours. That counts as eight chapters a day, right? [Bold claim]
Anyway, please vote.

Chapter 49: Will he worry about me then?
Several hours earlier, this group of mercenaries, who had long been hired by Cocolia, had each received several instructions from her.
According to Cocolia's orders, they were divided into three groups and stationed at the Changkong City television station building, on the road leading to the television station building, and near Raiden Mei's apartment.
The group of mercenaries near Raiden Mei's apartment received the detailed instruction to "break into Raiden Mei's home and capture her after she has sustained some injuries."
Honestly, this order wasn't common.
Generally, when dealing with such targets, the employer would instruct the mercenaries not to harm the target or to capture them alive, depending on the target's importance.
There were missions that specifically requested that the target be injured before being captured, but they were not many.
However, the employer's orders still had to be carried out.
Although a bit confused, mercenaries, after all, are primarily motivated by money.
Let alone injuring a JK, as long as the price was right, Cocolia could have them do anything.
And now, looking at the injured girl, the mercenary nodded with satisfaction.
Although the lights were not on, the mercenary, equipped with night vision goggles, had used his superb marksmanship to hit Raiden Mei's shoulder.
While injuring her, it also prevented the girl from concentrating fully on fighting them due to the pain from her shoulder injury.
As for the bamboo sword in the girl's hand...
Heh, what threat could such a toy pose to mercenaries armed with guns?
With that thought, the mercenary aimed his gun at Raiden Mei's other shoulder again.
If he injured this shoulder as well, this little girl who knocked out our comrade would...
"What!"
Seeing that the girl's movements had not slowed down at all after being injured, the mercenary in front of her was stunned.
However, he soon realized what a huge mistake he had made.
In this cramped apartment, a moment's distraction was enough to decide the victor.
The mercenary, unable to pull the trigger in time, was struck in the throat by Mei and completely lost his combat capability.
Mei, enduring the pain from her shoulder, immediately turned on the apartment lights.
Mei dared not move rashly at this moment.
In her opinion, if the fight were to take place inside the apartment, the confined space would inevitably force the combatants into close-quarters fighting.
But if she ran outside...
Without preparation, she estimated she would take a few bullets before even finding the enemy.
The stinging pain from her shoulder was constantly reminding Mei how dangerous bullets were to her.
Calm down, Mei.
Only two of them entered, which means the team itself isn't large.
I still have a chance.
If only she could calm down and find an opportunity...
"You! Who the hell are you!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Forget about the little girl inside—Ah!"
Just as Mei was preparing to calmly deal with the approaching enemies, she suddenly heard a commotion from outside.
What... what was going on?
Was this a ploy to lure her out?
Or perhaps...
"Hmph, that woman."
At the entrance of the apartment, a handsome man with white hair appeared before Mei.
Seeing Mei's clear eyes, Siegfried finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, she hasn't reached the stage of Herrscher awakening yet.
"Um..."
Looking at the one-armed man before her who showed no hostility, Mei, though still holding her weapon, had no intention of taking further action.
"Raiden Mei, right?"
Siegfried said with a smile, looking at the young girl before him.
"I'm a friend of your father, Raiden Ryoma."
"Dad's friend?"
Hearing the man's self-introduction as a friend of her father, Mei almost showed a look of joy.
But the expression that was about to surface on her face was quickly replaced by caution.
"What proof do you have that you're telling the truth!"
Wow, such high vigilance.
That's good.
Ryoma was worried his daughter was too gentle... Ha, isn't this child Mei doing great?
"Oh, whether you believe me or not, I really do know your father."
Siegfried took out a photo and pointed to the two people in it.
"This is a photo of me and your father from a few years ago."
"This..."
Suddenly noticing Siegfried's eye and hair color, Mei asked with a hint of confusion.
"What's your relationship with Kiana?"
"Kiana? She's my daughter."
As expected.
No wonder I thought he looked a bit like Kiana.
"Um, Uncle."
Now that she had confirmed that the other party was on her side, Mei finally relaxed a little.
"I have two questions..."
"We can answer your questions later, right now you need to leave this place with me."
Seeing the unlucky fellow, who Mei had covered with a blanket and ambushed, move, Siegfried raised the Flame-Chaser's Judgment and shot him dead to silence him.
Watching Siegfried's actions, Mei realized that she didn't feel much when someone killed another person right in front of her...
When did my acceptance level become so high?
"Alright, don't worry about anything else."
Siegfried quickly said, looking at Mei who had suddenly zoned out.
"You're being targeted by many people now, I have to get you out of Changkong City."
"Once we're outside, you'll be temporarily safe."
I... am being targeted by many people?
When did Dad offend so many terrifying people?
Also, Kiana's father...
Although I think these people deserve to die, judging by his actions, he's very accustomed to taking others' lives.
Sigh, what exactly happened.
However, Mei didn't choose to question Siegfried at the moment. Instead, she followed his instructions and walked out of the apartment with him.
I shouldn't think about it too much. I should just leave here first.
It's just that if I do this, I won't be able to go to school tomorrow.
If I disappear...
Will Lin Yu worry about me then?
Chapter 50: The Fateful Grand Order
On the way out with Siegfried, Mei realized that there were actually more enemies than she had imagined.
It was just that the enemies were split into two groups.
One group came to her doorstep to capture her, while the other group was ambushed in the elevator lobby downstairs.
It was only because of this uncle that these people were easily defeated by the other party before they could cause trouble.
Kiana's father is actually this powerful?
Wait, then, why was such a powerful uncle... had one of his arms broken?
After guiding Mei away from the apartment, Siegfried let out a deep sigh.
Actually, just now, he had been hesitating whether or not to knock Mei unconscious right then and there.
After all, although Mei appeared to be emotionally stable right now, no one could guarantee that the Herrscher wouldn't awaken later.
After thinking about it for a moment, Siegfried realized that thinking about it was useless.
