Release That Succubus

Chapter 242 242 Rescue II

?

Out of the four of them, the one who made him the wariest was the girl who had attacked him first. She looked a lot more mature compared to both Clara and Violet. She had a graceful air about her. But only her eyes revealed the intelligence and cunning that formulated her very being.

Jack began to ponder about whether he would be able to defeat the woman or not. The conclusion that he arrived at after careful and logical deduction was that he had no chance of defeating her in his current condition where he was depleted beyond comprehension. Not to mention that even if he was in his peak condition, he might not have proven to be her match.

Now that he was surrounded, Jack didn't have a way out. If he didn't escape, it was likely that he would end up dying in this place. Moreover, he had already carried out his end of the bargain with the Hunter family. Even if that piece of trash of the Hunter family, Nelson, ended up dying, Jack would still be able to receive his promised benefits from the leader of the Hunter family. If not, there were too many crimes he had already committed, one more wasn't going to faze him. He will make sure that the Hunter family would remember to keep their promises in their next life.

Seeing no need to stay on the hill, Jack mobilized his remaining mana and gathered them under his feet. The wind element followed his will like he was lord of the sky and carried him away like a breeze carried away a falling leaf or a paper plane.

Although the consumption of mana for such a sophisticated movement technique was a lot, the speed more than made up for the loss. Jack had escaped many a situation using the same technique. This was essentially a life-saving technique for him.

Zach was taking into account the developments of the fight from the beginning and he had already sensed that Jack was planning to escape from the way his feet were pointing towards a certain direction where there was a gap in their encirclement. 

Moreover, Zach wasn't the only one who had noticed Jack's intentions. Christina was right behind him in her assessment of Jack. She was following the flow of mana in Jack's body. As soon as Jack mobilized the remaining mana to his feet, she had gone on full alert so as to not allow the bastard to escape and harm someone else.

Clara who already had a one-track mind couldn't focus on so many things at once. Currently her greatest priority was confirming her sister's wellbeing. She was unable to see anything else. It was more like she had selective vision. She couldn't bring herself to forget about her sister and chase after someone who most likely did not have her with him.

  So, Zach and Christina didn't waste any time as they chased after Jack with the greatest speeds they could muster. Clara on the other hand plucked the jade pendant from her neck and held it in her hand in order to sense the true location of her sister. Based on the reaction that the jade pendant had given at the bottom of the hill, Violet was most likely still in this place. She just had to figure out the exact location before bringing her away with her.

Christina and Zach were stuck to him like glue. Jack couldn't believe that the escape method he was so proud of was unable to shake off Zach and Christina who were probably not even using any movement technique at the moment.

But he failed to take several factors into account before choosing to escape. Firstly, he wasn't at his peak and the amount of mana had thinned out after the first burst. He was barely maintaining the movement technique which was the reason why Zach and Christina had been unable to catch up to him even after he had tired himself out. On the other hand, Zach and Christina had barely consumed their energy and were still operating in their peak condition.

While Christina and Zach were busy chasing Jack, Clara had already locked onto the location of her elder sister. She was supposedly in a cave near the top of the hill. The entrance was quite narrow for normal people but Clara felt like she would not have much trouble entering with her physique. The discovery made her mad for some reason but she couldn't figure out why.

She made a beeline towards the cave with the intention of saving her sister as soon as possible but she encountered someone at the cave that made her want to bash their head in. The impulsive and the explosive Clara had returned. There was so much hate and so much anger on her face that Zach would have found it impossible to imagine such an expression on an easygoing girl like her if he could witness it.

The man was none other than Nelson who had heard various explosions taking place right outside the cave and had come out to take a look at what was happening. His soldier had given out after being startled by the noise and he was better off removing the cause of his anxiety before going back in.

Seeing Clara blew off his top. He was so shocked that he froze in place and rubbed his eyes twice in order to make sure that the Clara in front of him wasn't some kind of illusion or hallucination that his shocked mind had construed to deceive him.

Unfortunately, the fury on Clara's face was far too realistic and the sense of pressure he could feel building up around him made his shoulders stoop to the ground. There was no way such a feeling could be unreal which could only mean that Clara had truly managed to find Violet in such a short time.

Even thought he Hunter family had already anticipated that they would be found out sooner or later, they had never imagined that they would be unable to carry out their plan before that happened.
