Escape

If Anfei knew what Rhode was thinking, she would definitely scoff.

After all, having gained some understanding of the extraordinary world through Rhode, she was well aware of the preciousness of inheritance.

A complete inheritance from the first to the fourth tier is enough to create a family of extraordinary individuals, something that Rhode, a penniless pauper, simply cannot acquire.

Even if the other party promises to find her a better job, it will definitely be something incomplete, and might not even be at the fourth level.

While the [Witch Hunter] class has its hidden dangers, there is hope for reaching Tier 5 and Tier 6.

Knowing the importance of making the right choice, Anfei carefully considered the matter and decided to make the same decision.

Anyway, her whole family are believers in the Goddess of Light, so they have no pressure to become Paladin because of their faith in the Goddess.

The two of them finished dealing with the [Winged Demon's ] corpse while talking.

"Phew... finally done."

Anfei let out a long sigh and extended an invitation, "How about we go to a nearby bar for a drink? I heard the local blackberry liqueur is pretty good..."

This girl appears to have developed a drinking problem due to excessive mental stress.

"No... we need to leave here immediately."

Rhode frowned. "Killing this [Winged Demon] will trigger a chain reaction... and that organization is still tracking us like hyenas... I've received information that they may already be nearby."

"Black Light?"

Anfei trembled.

This was an evil organization that she and Rhode inadvertently provoked during a hunt for dark creatures.

Although insignificant compared to the Black Death Society and the Ancient Serpent Society, it still brought them immense pressure.

"That's a real shame. I have to leave immediately. I'll go book my steam train ticket for tonight..."

Anfei shrugged and took the identification that Rhode handed her.

Of course, they're all fake.

night.

Steam train station.

Many homeless people and beggars were sleeping on the benches.

Rhode waited for the train, bored, eating a hot dog with ketchup while aimlessly flipping through a newspaper he had bought on the spur of the moment.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.

In the finance section, a headline appeared prominently:

"Orchi Wired Telegraph Company goes bankrupt, founder jumps to his death, company acquired!"

The content included an introduction to the Wireless Telegraph company and information about Sulu Potter, the inventor of both technologies!

"He... appeared. I knew he wouldn't die so easily..."

Rhode muttered to himself.

Anfei, seeing the resolute man's eyes slightly red for the first time, asked in confusion, "Who?"

"Sulu!"

Rhode rolled up the newspaper, his tone firm. "I'm going to White Eagle City!"

Because of the brevity of the news, he only knew that Sulu had become a high-ranking tycoon and chairman of Wireless Telegraph company, but he did not know that the other party was in Green Tree Castle.

"Your missing younger brother?" Anfei suddenly understood.

She didn't know what had happened to Sulu, but after hearing Rhode's account, she still thought it was impressive, "Then let's go... tsk tsk... I didn't expect your brother to be so rich, he must be a tycoon in the Federation. Perhaps... he can help us solve the Black Light Organization's problem."

"This..."

Rhode was a little confused, but his younger brother had always been very mysterious and full of ideas.

For example, news published across the entire Federation is more discreet than any official announcement, yet it can clearly convey certain information.

Just then, he suddenly paused.

Rhode ' keen senses, typical of Demon creatures, caused him to shift his gaze to several men in black trench coats who were closing in from different corners.

His expression tightened as he sensed the hostility emanating from the other party.

Rhode tugged at Anfei's hand, then suddenly stood up and walked toward the exit.

This unexpected turn of events immediately startled the men in black trench coats who had surrounded them.

They hesitated for a moment, then changed direction and moved to encircle Rhode ' location.

"Really..."

Rhode felt a chill; the skin beneath his clothes had turned black and hard.

--Half- Demon creature form!

He didn't want to transform into Demon creature in public, as that would attract the Church of the Goddess of Light and lead to his arrest!

As a former Witch Hunter, he understood the key to this.

Thinking of this, Rhode quickened his pace and started running.

"Stop him!"

The man in the black trench coat behind shouted.

Rhode took a deep breath and rammed into the black-clad man who was lunging at him.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, the man in the trench coat opposite him was sent flying as if he had been hit head-on by a steam train, crashing heavily into a wall. Blood and shattered internal organs splattered everywhere, and he was clearly beyond saving.

Taking advantage of the opening in the encirclement, Rhode immediately rushed out.

"That is..."

The surrounding passengers were stunned and speechless.

After a long while, a passenger finally shouted, "It's a professional... Quick... notify the police!"

The remaining people fled in panic, running towards the shelter.

With the enactment of the Professional Registration Act, and through various forms of education, the people of the Federation are now well aware of how to deal with such battles against superhumans.

The most crucial point is that you absolutely must not rush in!

With the physical capabilities of an average person, unless they are armed with a high-powered firearm, it is difficult for them to pose any threat to professionals.

Protecting yourself should be your first priority.

As for the two sides in the conflict? Naturally, official superhumans will come to resolve it.

Rhode was very fast; after a few sprints, he had already reached the outskirts of the city, into a dense forest.

Upon arriving here, he had no more inhibitions. Demon horns and fleshy wings sprouted, and he completely transformed into Demon creature.

"He's there!"

"Shooting!"

A group of men in black trench coats surrounded them, each brandishing a mysterious firearm.

These are all equipment made by alchemists, and the bullets are even imbued with powerful demon-hunting runes. Even Rhode at this moment does not dare to take them head-on.

Without reaching the legendary qualitative change and sublimation, even a fourth-tier master is afraid of a human wave tactic!

He hid in the darkness, preparing to slowly entangle his opponent and wear them down.

You can't escape.

At this moment, a man with scars on his face shouted, "We have more patience than you... When the official superhumans arrive, they will discover your true nature. Then, the people of the Church of the Goddess of Light will hunt you down in our place!"

These words made Rhode ' heart sink. "I'll risk it all!"

He made up his mind that if he couldn't escape in the end, he had to destroy his identity information so as not to cause trouble for Sulu and Anfei.

'It's truly... unfortunate. I haven't seen Sulu yet, nor have I found my father...'

Rhode gritted his teeth, crouching in the shadows, preparing to launch a counterattack.

Just then, he heard a commotion.

It appears that on the other side, members of the Black Light Organization were attacked.

"Could it be Anfei? That stupid woman!"

Rhode cursed inwardly, "Are they coming here to die?"
