Chapter 121. Escape
“Why is this bastard acting so suspicious?”
“Th-that’s…”
Slap, slap, smack!
The guy stammered.
It seemed he was trying to scheme something, so I slapped him repeatedly.
Blood burst from his mouth, staining his clothes.
“Hey. Hey.”
“Gasp… Yes. Cough, cough.”
“Don’t play smart. Just tell me what you know.”
“Yes, yes. I’ll talk. *Hic*… I’ll talk!”
I grabbed him by the collar and shook him, urging him to speak.
Assuming they were tracking us, we had to hurry.
“There was a message that our group was attacked, so there are at least ten people on the pursuit team. If they form a team and depart as soon as the Paper Airplane reaches them, it’ll take about 40 minutes. Their tracking method is…”
According to the guy’s explanation, the Paper Airplane had been delivered safely, and the tracking had already begun.
They knew my description precisely and would likely mobilize numerous Reconnaissance-type Ability Users.
Crucially, he said they had an ability to track *his* location.
“It’s true. Please, spare me. If I run in the opposite direction, I can confuse their tracking.”
“Oh? Such a good idea.”
I left the guy in the room and came out to the living room with Euna.
It seemed we needed to leave this place quickly.
I didn’t know what kind of reconnaissance ability they possessed, but it would be dangerous if we encountered them or if they got too close.
“Mister…”
“It looks like we’ll have to keep moving… Are you very tired?”
“I’m fine…”
“Could you wait here for a moment? I think I need to deal with that bastard before we go.”
