The instant the thick mist rose, Anyo realized his chance had come. He did not know which of them had made such a foolish move, but it had undoubtedly saved him, so he fled without another word. The only person there capable of stopping him was Suikazan Fuguki. He was gambling that someone who had just survived a brush with death would not dare move to stop him.
