Hey, Grandsons! Don't Run!

At that moment.

Yan Huan suddenly turned around!

Facing the Silvermane Guards below, he pulled out an AK and opened fire.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat—!!"

A barrage of bullets poured down, sending the guards scrambling apart.

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!!"

The trash cans behind them were riddled with bullet holes by the AK's spray.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

A figure shot upward, pushing a trash can lid overhead and launching into the sky like a rocket.

Then he dropped back down, landing steadily in front of Yan Huan.

Sampo combed back his blue hair with both hands and said in shock:

"No way, bro. You noticed me even like that?!"

Yan Huan slung the AK over his shoulder, a grin curling across his lips. "Tell me, am I awesome or what?"

Seeing this, the surrounding guards immediately surrounded Sampo.

"It's him!"

"We've been trying to catch that blue-haired guy for ages!"

"Who knew he was in cahoots with those two suspicious people too? Damn it. Fine, he's lived in Belobog all this time and caused trouble here and there, but now he's even helping outsiders smash our rice bowls? Did a dog eat his conscience?!"

For a moment, a flood of curses descended upon Sampo, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.

"No, brothers from the Silvermane Guards, I've been wronged! I was just watching the show. Aren't you pinning this on me a little too fast?"

Standing atop the stairs, Yan Huan immediately put on a stern face and shouted at the guards:

"Quick, quick, quick! Catch him! He's definitely an accomplice of those two little bastards!"

Sampo's eyes widened.

"No, we haven't seen each other for five minutes, and you're already a Silvermane Guard officer? Are you on the wrong side or what?!"

Yan Huan said, "What a joke. I'm a proud son of Belobog, born and raised. Of course I have to serve the boss."

Sampo said, "How's your skin even thicker than mine?"

"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat—!!"

Bullets struck the ground beside Sampo's feet, forcing him to dodge frantically.

"Stop slandering me! Guards, get him!" Yan Huan said excitedly.

"Yes, Executive Officer!" the Silvermane Guards answered in unison, encircling Sampo and gradually tightening the ring.

Realizing things had gone south, Sampo immediately made a break for it.

With his agility, he actually broke through the dense encirclement of guards.

Seeing that,

Yan Huan jumped down the stairs with the AK on his shoulder and immediately ordered the guards:

"Go after him! Don't let him get away! Today, he brought two outsiders here to undermine Belobog's regime. Tomorrow, he might even steal the Supreme Guardian's underwear! Charge! Beat the hell out of him!!"

"Understood, Executive Officer!!"

"Damn it, we have to catch that guy!"

"Charge! For the honor of the Silvermane Guards!"

Thus, all the guards who had been stationed outside the hotel with Yan Huan rushed off to chase Sampo.

The area outside the hotel was completely empty.

Yan Huan alone sat on the stairs, listening to the commotion inside the hotel as he silently admired Belobog's nightscape.

Suddenly,

A window on the side of the hotel shattered, and a pink-haired girl and an expressionless man burst out.

The two fled at top speed. As she ran, March 7th shouted behind her:

"We're really not terrorists! There has to be some kind of misunderstanding!"

Dan Heng frowned deeply. "March, don't explain yourself to them. It's obvious this was the Supreme Guardian's doing. We trusted her too much."

March 7th asked as she sprinted:

"Why? Didn't she treat us like honored guests? Didn't she say she'd help us find the Stellaron?"

Dan Heng shook his head and said gravely:

"I'm afraid that was all a lie. Let's get somewhere safe first."

Right after that, Bronya led a large group of guards and leaped out through the hotel's side window as well.

"You can't escape. Surrender now!" Bronya said coldly.

The guards beside her, armed with rifles, continuously fired at the two of them, forcing March 7th and Dan Heng to dodge constantly as they ran.

"Lady Bronya, they've entered the Crack Realm!" a Silvermane Guard reminded her.

Bronya frowned. "Have you seen Yan Huan? Where is the group he led?"

"The Executive Officer just ordered the guards to pursue another accomplice—the cunning one named Sampo!"

"Sampo..." Bronya murmured. "So even that man is an accomplice. He's full of Trickery. Their side is probably far more difficult than ours. There's no need to wait for them. We'll enter the Crack Realm first."

Elsewhere,

Sampo turned left and right, then looked back to find the Silvermane Guards under Yan Huan's command still chasing him.

"Damn it, the Silvermane Guards are still after me!"

This group of guards was unlike the ones Gepard had stationed at the city gate, who had so many other duties to handle.

Now, aside from catching Sampo, they had received no other orders. They had no reason to hold back.

Sampo plunged headfirst into the crowd.

A large group of Silvermane Guards plunged in after him.

"Make way, make way! The Silvermane Guards are apprehending a fugitive! Clear a path!" shouted the lead guard.

The crowd immediately scattered to both sides of the street, whispering among themselves.

"Mom, look! That blue-haired big brother is getting caught again!" a child said, pointing at Sampo and laughing.

Many children were drawn in by the scene. Those who didn't know Sampo saw him exhausted and disheveled and asked:

"Mom, what kind of creature are the guards chasing?"

"That's trash, kid." The woman picked up her child and turned toward the house. "If you don't study hard, you'll end up like that."

Sampo said, "..."

"Keep chasing! That blue-haired guy in the crowd is Sampo!"

Hearing that, Sampo hurriedly snatched a bowl of ice cream from the street and slapped it onto his head, covering his hair as he continued running.

"The shifty-eyed one is Sampo!"

While fleeing in a panic, Sampo grabbed a pair of sunglasses from someone else and put them on.

"The one with a head is Sampo!"

Hearing that, Sampo immediately...

"?"

He turned back and cursed:

"Like you don't have a head too!"

After weaving through streets and alleys, the Silvermane Guards still chased him relentlessly like rabid dogs, as if they would never give up until they caught Sampo.

"Damn it, why are you guys still chasing me? Didn't you used to give up if you couldn't catch me?!"

A drenched-in-sweat Silvermane Guard laughed.

"The Executive Officer only gave us one order. This time, even if you grow wings, you won't escape!"

Some of the guards only grew more excited the longer they chased him.

"Hahahaha, run! Hahahaha, the more you run, the more I like it~"

Everyone said, "..."

The Crack Realm.

Edge Passage.

March 7th and Dan Heng twisted and turned through the route, but the Silvermane Guards behind them still pursued them relentlessly.

The pursuers here were exactly the same as the ones chasing Sampo, as if they would never rest until they caught them today.

"Good heavens, they're way too persistent," March 7th said in shock.

"Maybe because this was an order directly from the Supreme Guardian, so they're taking it very seriously," Dan Heng analyzed.

March 7th panted as she ran. "I just wonder how Yan Huan is doing. It's a good thing he wasn't with us back then."

Dan Heng nodded. "He's doing fine. He's over there right now."

March 7th said, "?"

She blankly turned her head.

At the very front of the pursuers was Bronya, and beside her, whispering to her, was none other than Yan Huan.

After listening to Yan Huan, Bronya nodded and quickened her pace.

Beside her,

Yan Huan held up his AK, looked at March 7th and Dan Heng, fired several shots into the air, and yelled with fanatical eyes:

"Hey, grandsons! Don't run!"

"?"
