Like a tornado tearing through a parking lot, Ch'en's arrival was utterly overwhelming. Within the six-second Stasis barrier, even the rubber bullets launched into the air hung suspended. Everyone stood frozen in place. No one was her match.
"Six seconds are up."
The blade rested against Lappland's throat. Her hands had already been locked in sturdy handcuffs, and even ankle shackles had been fitted onto her during the stopped time.
"Officer Ch'en, that's an incredible skill."
"Yae Sakura gave it to me."
Ch'en answered instinctively, only then realizing that no one had asked her that question.
It was almost laughable.
As a veteran mafioso, Lappland naturally would not resign herself to capture. But in stopped time, there was nothing she could do. Every movement had been sealed off; she could not even put up the most basic resistance.
"Come with me. Give a statement, spend some time in prison, and pay a fine."
"Yay!"
Exusiai stepped out from behind her cover, smoke still rising from the barrel of her gun. She strode forward as though she had no sense of danger, but Texas's warning sounded beside her ear.
"Idiot."
Exusiai immediately realized that this had been a brawl, and she was one of its participants.
"Run!"
"Run where? Behind you is the end of the earth. If you run, I'll go inside and arrest your boss."
"Sorry, Boss!"
Without the slightest hesitation, as though the boss Ch'en mentioned was not their own, the two figures belonging to the renowned Mr. Emperor darted away at incredible speed. They started their motorcycles almost instantly and rumbled off in the direction away from Ch'en.
"Naive."
The cooldown had ended. Ch'en activated Void Blade's weapon skill once more, and a deep-purple domain appeared in an instant, engulfing Exusiai and Texas. In that moment, even
