The Security of the Powerful Backer I Picked Is Really Something!

Illumi glanced at the dejected Luo Ye and drove the knife in. "It's already too late for regrets. He's got his eye on us."

Not to mention that Luo Ye had already let go the little girls Rasa's men had gathered, which had already drawn Rasa's attention.

And today, he had gone and released those little girls again. Rasa was probably lurking in the shadows right now, thinking of how to kill them.

So even if he regretted going after Rasa now, it was too late.

The head of District One had had the treasures his subordinates collected stolen from under his nose. That was a blatant slap in the face. If he did not strike back, others would look down on him.

Being looked down on in the outside world did not matter much; at worst, people would say a few things. But in Meteor City, being looked down on meant an endless stream of challengers.

When that happened, failing to endure the succession of battles meant death.

Therefore, no matter what Rasa truly thought or whether he wanted to face them, he had no choice but to come.

Luo Ye twitched his lips. "You don't need to remind me. Of course I know that things have reached the point where it's either us or him."

This was not a peaceful era. In Meteor City, where bloodshed and sacrifice filled every corner, stealing someone else's things came at a price paid in blood.

In short, either Rasa died, or they did.

Feitan looked at the empty space, irritation flashing through his eyes. "But if he doesn't come out, we can't hit him. How do we force him out?"

If Rasa kept hiding and refused to attack, there was nothing they could do to reach him. But if they did nothing and let Rasa keep observing them, they would eventually let their guard down.

In a life-and-death battle like this, a momentary lapse could cost them their lives! Feitan could not afford to be careless.

Luo Ye also had a headache. Spatial ability users were truly troublesome. "We robbed him twice. There's no way he won't make a move. He's probably waiting for us to expose an opening."

Rasa was likely holding back because he wanted to land a single decisive blow. That was why he hid within his space instead of coming out, waiting only for the right moment to deliver a fatal strike.

Until then, he would have to endure and wait for that opportunity.

Feitan's expression darkened. "If he won't come out, are we just supposed to wait here?"

Just thinking about someone watching him from nearby while he could do nothing about them made him irritated. He wanted to kill someone.

Luo Ye sighed. "There isn't any other good way. Unless we can force him out, all we can do is wait."

Machi glanced at him, then lowered her eyes without saying anything. Her sharp sixth sense told her that something about Luo Ye's words was off, but she could not figure out what it was.

"Alright, let's head back first. It looks like he won't be coming out now." With that, Luo Ye was the first to turn and walk inward.

Just then, the air suddenly rippled. A door opened in midair in front of Luo Ye, and a dark-skinned man appeared out of nowhere with a gleaming dagger, lunging at him at incredible speed.

Luo Ye's eyes widened instantly. Before the hand resting on his wooden sword could move, the attack had already been blocked.

Feitan had indeed rushed forward with his weapon at top speed, intercepting the sudden strike.

Luo Ye steadied his pounding heart and looked at Feitan with great satisfaction. As expected of the powerful backer I picked. This sense of security is incredible!

Seeing that his strike had failed, the man tried to retreat again, but Illumi swiftly scattered a handful of needles into the space before it could close.

The needles whirled inside the space. After being hit, the man let out a scream and could only scramble away from that space in panic.

"You must be Rasa, right?" Luo Ye looked at him, confusion in his eyes. "But what I don't understand is, with so many people here, why did you target me?"

Was it because he had such a harmless-looking face? Had Rasa mistaken him for an easy target?
