BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 Augustus Pursued
If Duane\'s speculation was true, and the Murder God Gang was a puppet of the mastermind, then Duane believed that the Second red Light incident might happen again. The other party\'s goal was not only to bestow powers upon these individuals.
It could be about ruling the apocalypse, which immediately made Duane nervous. He knew what that meant for all espers and ordinary people in the apocalypse.
"Big brother... , I\'ve told you everything. Can I go now?" Due to excessive blood loss from the wound on his thigh, the man\'s face became increasingly pale, and his voice trembled slightly.
Duane didn\'t have time to think about it. He waved his hand, signaling the man to leave quickly. His mind was now filled with speculations about the mastermind behind the scenes,It\'s too late to pay attention to this little brother.
"Thank you... Thank you, big brother! You\'re a good person!" The man said excitedly to Duane. Shirley then swiftly cut the ropes binding his hands and feet. He hurriedly got up from the ground, ignoring the pain in his thigh, and ran towards the community, afraid that Duane might change his mind.
"Quick, someone\'s causing trouble!" As soon as the man reached the gate, he abandoned his meek demeanor and shouted loudly inside.
Upon hearing his cry, twenty or thirty members of the Murder God Gang immediately rushed out, each holding a weapon.
"It\'s those two people! They were prying for information about our boss and even stabbed me! Brothers, capture them and claim the reward from our boss!" The man pointed at Duane and Shirley viciously. Consequently, the dozens of gang members wielding pipes and knives charged towards the two.
Realizing the situation, Duane immediately realized that he shouldn\'t have let the man go. Looking at the swarm of people, he reached into his treasure box and pulled out a neatly folded paper doll. As he threw it on the ground, the paper dolls suddenly came to life. Each one transformed into the size of a doll and charged towards the approaching gang members.
"Quick, let\'s get out of here!" Duane said to Shirley, taking this opportunity to leave the scene. They weren\'t afraid of these gang members; their concern was their Level 6 esper boss. If he appeared, Duane and Shirley would likely be no match for him. In this situation, it was better to retreat using different tactics.
The paper dolls rushed into the crowd of gang members, latching onto their legs and biting into their flesh. The gang members howled in pain, brandishing their weapons and striking the paper dolls.
Before long, the paper dolls that Duane had used as an escape plan were scattered on the ground, having been slashed and beaten. Nonetheless, a few of them continued launching surprise attacks, even with broken arms and legs.
"Boss, these two people don\'t want to live, daring to cause trouble on our Murder God Gang\'s turf." In front of a large French window in the QS community, Eamonn and Augustus stood there, watching Duane and Shirley escape.
"Leave them be. Alexander instructed us not to provoke any conflicts until David returns. During this time, focus on practicing the Rotten Blood. When David comes back, we\'ll have a meeting with that guy." Eamonn said in a deep voice.
Today, the two brothers had just met with Alexander and learned that David was not here these days. Alexander specifically instructed them to focus on practicing their abilities during this period and that they would "pay a visit" when David returned.
"Hmph! Just David? Is he worth making Alexander so afraid? If you ask me, we brothers should gather our men and charge into his lair. Even with random knives, we can kill him!" Augustus said disdainfully.
"Don\'t forget this was Alexander\'s order!" Eamonn\'s tone suddenly turned icy upon hearing Augustus\'s words. He glared at Augustus, causing him to immediately shut his mouth.
"Go and investigate the information about those two people we just encountered. Once we\'ve dealt with the trouble that David presents, we\'ll find out more about them." Eamonn said once again.
"Leave it to me, I\'ll handle it." Augustus disappeared on the spot, turning into a streak of blood-red light as he chased after Duane and Shirley.
"Captain, they didn\'t follow us." Inside an abandoned convenience store, Duane and Shirley hid behind a shopping rack, continuously observing their surroundings. Seeing that no one was following them, Duane breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain, those guys clearly aren\'t good people. Why didn\'t we take care of them? It\'s been a while since I\'ve had a fight. My Flowery will rust soon," Shirley said with disappointment, her hand resting on the knife at her waist. Flowery was the name of her knife, and complementing Shirley\'s awakened water-based ability.
"They have a large number of people, plus two Level 6 awakened espers. It\'s too risky to confront them directly. I won\'t gamble with our lives, mine and yours," Duane replied, emphasizing that their lives were not to be risked in a direct confrontation.
Just then, a streak of crimson light suddenly exploded in Duane\'s peripheral vision!
"Watch out!" Duane immediately realized the danger, pulling Shirley and leaping in the opposite direction of the convenience store. "Boom!" The shelf they had been hiding behind moments ago was struck by the crimson light, creating a loud noise. The light vanished, and Augustus slowly appeared in front of them.
"I heard... you two were looking for me?" Augustus looked at Duane with a smile, and then his gaze shifted to Shirley. He licked his lips, a lecherous grin forming on his face.
Although Eamonn instructed him to keep a low profile and avoid unnecessary bloodshed, Augustus, who had long lost his restraint, didn\'t listen. Combined with Shirley\'s enticing figure that made him drool, he was determined to indulge himself today.
Seeing Augustus, Duane stood up, furrowing his brow. He knew that this man was likely one of the leaders of the Murder God Gang, which immediately made him cautious. Shirley also seemed to sense the danger, her right hand firmly gripping Flowery, ready to draw the knife at any moment.
"We\'re just passing through. You\'ve mistaken us for someone else," Duane calmly stated, while constantly seeking an opportunity to leave the convenience store. However, there was only one door, and there was no other way out.
"I advise you to be honest. The Murder God Gang is not open for inquiry by just anyone. If you provoke me, believe me, I will have my way with this little girl right in front of you and then dismember you and feed dog," Augustus said casually, his eyes also growing more intense as he looked at Shirley.
