As Uchiha Madara and the others were preparing to escort the three main criminals upstairs, Gil suddenly threw a smoke bomb. Everyone was blinded, and the three criminals escaped amid the chaos!
Uchiha Madara shouted angrily, "You won't get away!"
He was the first to rush out, followed by Estelle and Olivier. But outside the room, there was not a single person in sight!
Those three had escaped pretty quickly! Uchiha Madara said, "Chase!" The three of them immediately sprinted toward the upper floors!
Clearly, they intended to escape using the green airship on the top floor! If they truly boarded that airship, they would be impossible to track down again. They had to seize this last chance!
However, the moment Uchiha Madara and the others charged up the stairs, they were immediately attacked by a group of sky bandits.
"For Big Brother Dolan, Big Brother Gil, and Josette, we, the sky bandits—the Capua Family—swear that we'll stop you!"
Though these sky bandits were merely minor underlings, they were exceptionally united! Uchiha Madara admired their loyalty, but as things stood, they could not proceed without defeating them!
"Magic Eye!"
This was a new skill Uchiha Madara had mastered! Though it was not an S-Craft, it could reduce an opponent's speed while attacking them!
Very quickly, the movements of those minor underlings were sealed. Their actions became incredibly slow, as if they were moving in slow motion. Uchiha Madara and the others immediately slipped past the sky bandits' blockade and continued their pursuit upward.
However, after climbing another floor, they unexpectedly encountered another group of sky bandits!
This time, the sky bandit Rago led the group guarding Josette and the others. "On the honor of Rago the sky bandit, I'll make sure the three of you escape! Brothers, get them!"
