Within [Tracking] vision, most of the traces crisscrossed in a chaotic mess and had slowly begun to disperse, but two trails were fresh.
Not only were they fresh, but they also seemed to have been deliberately left behind.
After gesturing to J. Perelman, Qin Ran slipped directly into the shadows at his side.
J. Perelman raised a hand, wanting to say something, only to discover that Qin Ran had already vanished into the shadows.
Surprise appeared in his eyes.
And soon, that surprise turned into horror.
Because...
Even when he approached the shadows, or even stepped into them, he could not find any trace of Qin Ran at all.
"Transcendent [Stealth]?!"
"No!"
"A technique far beyond ordinary Transcendent [Stealth]—it must be an even higher-level skill!"
J. Perelman muttered to himself, his tone shifting from surprise to relief.
When he had proposed inviting Qin Ran to step in, J. Perelman had already held considerable confidence in him. After all, Qin Ran's string of achievements was enough to prove his strength. Yet J. Perelman's understanding of that strength had been limited to Flame and Sword of Dawn. He knew little about the rest.
But now, J. Perelman had discovered the skill concealed beneath Flame and Sword of Dawn.
A skill highly advantageous for hunting down the "hunter."
What could understand someone skilled in "stealth and concealment" better than another person skilled in "stealth and concealment"?
That was when the former discovered the latter's traces.
With a sigh of relief inwardly, J. Perelman immediately sent the information to Amelia through private messages.
Amelia replied quickly.
However, when J. Perelman saw Amelia's reply, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The traces were clear and pointed in a distinct direction.
Moving through Giant City, Qin Ran quickly found the people who had left them behind.
