BXBX NOVEL Chapter 271: Sion
Meanwhile, some distance away from the location, a lady was wielding a sniper, looking at the situation through the scope.
"Report, two foxes are approaching the target, requesting command," she mumbled.
"Standby for now, Sion, see the target\'s response. If things escalate, shoot to kill," a male voice replied.
"Roger."
Back in front of the restaurant, William started pondering his options.
Asking for help would be too late; his other choice was to fight, but this would escalate the conflict, and who knows what kind of trouble he would get into.
After some more thought, he decided his only choice was to run. Qi started moving inside his body, as his movement technique was already good enough in the past; with Qi, it was even better now.
William didn\'t reply to the man and started escaping. At first, he didn\'t use any technique and just ran normally so no one would feel suspicious.
The two men sprinted, pursuing him, but even his normal speed was already faster than the average awakener.
The woman looking at him through the scope whistled as she found it interesting.
Sion was initially sent to bolster defenses on the frontline, but she suddenly got a new mission from the association president.
Her mission was to follow William. As for Alice, she rarely left the compound; when she did, she would go with Emily.
This made the president think sending out someone good to follow her would be a waste of resources.
He just chose some two star hunter he can trust, to periodically report on her location.
William entered the closest alley, making him hidden from normal view, but in Sion\'s eyes, he was still clear as day.
He then started accelerating, his Qi churning as he moved in a blur, disappearing from point to point.
Behind him, the two people in suits also accelerated, their suits stretching out as they transformed.
Fur grew, covering their skin as their faces started to change. Their mouths turned into jaws, while the whites of their eyes turned amber.
One of them leaped, landing straight in front of William. In the past, there would be nothing he could do, but with his slim body now, he jumped to the wall, then to the other side of the wall, and started running on top of it.
The werewolf was caught off guard, but the second one had already made his move.
Something started glowing behind his back, giving off a silvery light. It was patterned like a tribal tattoo.
Wind started appearing around the werewolf\'s claw; he then slashed forward, shooting it through the air.
William focused on running and didn\'t have any other choice. He had to stop his momentum to dodge and change direction.
The wall he had just stood on was cut into pieces, revealing its interior.
Thankfully, no one was inside at this time; otherwise, they would probably have become one of the casualties.
William landed back on the ground. Since he couldn\'t escape anymore, he took out a knife from his storage ring.
He then started moving agilely, trying to attack the werewolf that was close to him. But as his eyes darted around, the werewolf was already a step faster.
Not only did he have more combat experience, but his animal instincts were also better than William\'s, which were sealed into a bone.
BAM!
The claw hit him in the chest.
William could feel his ribs crack as he crashed into the wall. He started using his Qi to push back the bleeding and regenerate the wound while thinking of a way to counterattack.
But there was no time to think. The werewolf\'s claw was already coming for his head.
William braced himself since he knew he couldn\'t dodge, but just before, the claw cracked his skull.
BANG!
The werewolf\'s head exploded into a pile of flesh. The other werewolf, seeing this, quickly ran away, but it was too late; his head was gone the next second.
William didn\'t waste time. He quickly ran away with all the strength he could muster.
He didn\'t know if the one who shot was an enemy or ally, but he was sure it was not Alex\'s people.
If his real identity were found out, this would become a problem.
He ran away, trying to return to SGE as fast as possible, but just when he got close, his path was blocked by a lady with short black hair and amber eyes, wearing a leather jacket.
"Stop running, William. I just want to talk. Don\'t worry; I already know Sir Alex brought you here."
William, at first, still wanted to escape, but he changed his mind the moment he heard about Alex.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sion. The association president sent me to follow you, just to make sure you don\'t get into trouble. But now he wants to talk.
Since it\'s clear, many people have detected your presence here. You don\'t want to bring trouble for Sir Alex\'s guild, would you?"
"What if I don\'t want to go?" William asked.
He was sure it was not that simple. If she were really friends with Alex, they could just contact Emily to meet with him. There was no need to go in such a roundabout way.
Sion smiled, her hand raised with an open palm, her fingers starting to glow, creating a magic circle. It started glowing brightly, creating a barrier around them.
"Then you can fight your way out. I am really curious what you are.
Is that Sir Alex\'s real cultivation method? Or is it the unique trait of your race?"
William frowned.
He had never seen anything like this. Looking at Sion, despite her petite body, he could tell that she was dangerous. And he was not wrong, as Sion was a four-star hunter.
"Just what do you want with me? Based on what happened before, other races in this place seem normal, so it\'s not weird that I am here, as long as I don\'t make any trouble."
