Chapter 506: Approaching Lyon, Will Become...
Chapter 506: Approaching Lyon, Will Become...
Am I... being controlled by Atephi One?
Upon hearing Lyon's words, the emerald-eyed girl's mind went blank, and she once again experienced the feeling of bewilderment from a human perspective.
Strictly speaking, this body, which was created less than two months ago, was indeed under the control of Atephi One... because I am Atephi One!
"I know, this does sound incredibly hard to believe."
Looking at the girl in front of him, whose soul was in turmoil and whose peculiar aura had almost completely vanished, Lyon understood that his shock therapy was taking effect. He immediately seized the opportunity and continued, "Actually, aside from my identity as a prince, I'm also a purifier from the Virgin Division. Through certain channels, we received information that a mysterious organization is targeting the royal families of various countries.
Accordingly, based on the agreement between the Purification Bureau and the royal family, the Purification Bureau has the responsibility to protect the safety of the royal family members. So, we initiated an investigation mission to look into the situation in the Corlock Kingdom and provide protection to the royal family members."
"..."
I do understand all this... but how did you end up protecting me?
...
"So... that's how it is..."
After a few seconds of stunned silence, feeling instinctively that getting close to this man would bring her great misfortune, Princess Felicia couldn't help but blink her big eyes. Under Lyon's gaze, she forced a smile with her eyes darting around and said, "But I'm not very clear about this matter either. Why don't I go back and pass the message to Prince Andre, and let him come and discuss it with you?"
"Of course, we will also contact His Highness Prince Andre. As for you..."
After firmly grabbing the emerald-eyed girl's wrist, Lyon glanced at her soul, which was filled with the desire to escape. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It seemed that this girl still didn't trust him or wasn't aware of the situation where the royal family had already been controlled. So, he had no choice but to follow the original plan and take her away by force!
"Sorry, but I need you to come with us for a while!"
The female journalist, who had already prepared herself, signaled with her eyes. Lyon, following the techniques he had specifically practiced, struck the girl's neck with a hand chop, attempting to knock her unconscious and take her away.
However, after receiving the hand chop, Felicia only let out a cry of pain but did not faint. Instead, she covered her injured neck and turned her head, her eyes darting around in confusion as she spoke, "You..."
"Sorry, my hand is a bit stiff."
After giving Felicia an apologetic look, Lyon, who had only practiced the technique of knocking out young men the previous night, judged that his learned technique might not be suitable for a girl. He slightly adjusted his strength and angle and struck again.
"Ouch!"
"..."
Why isn't it working? Is this girl so resistant to being knocked out?
Seeing Felicia getting hit again, her neck already turning red from the blows, Lyon couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He quickly raised his hand again, adding a bit more force.
"Smack!"
Accompanied by a dull thud, Felicia's neck was struck by Lyon's hand chop with added force, causing her head to visibly drop. Her big, watery eyes already had tears welling up.
Please, just let me explain!
There's a signal receiver implanted under the skin at the back of my head, constantly stimulating my brain with microcurrents. How can your attack on my nerve cluster be effective while this device is still in place?
"Stop it!!!"
Just as Felicia was about to reach her limit, the guards trailing behind finally reacted. The man who was rumored to be a prince was actually assaulting Her Highness Felicia!
"What are you doing?
"Ahhhh!"
"Let go of the Princess!"
The guards, startled and furious, rushed forward as one, intending to subdue the madman attacking Princess Felicia.
But as they took their first steps, a small flower in Lyon's pocket swayed slightly, and hundreds of thumb-thick vines suddenly emerged from the once spotless street, tripping the charging guards.
Lyon, their target, turned around at the opportune moment and threw out a handful of seeds, no larger than grains of rice. Before they even hit the ground, these seeds sprouted into more vines under some strange force.
These new vines, agile as green serpents, intertwined with the vines that had tripped the guards, binding them tightly in the blink of an eye.
However, after dealing with the guards, Lyon didn't let down his guard. He raised his hand for the fourth time, slashing at Princess Felicia's neck, while shouting to the female journalist:
"Five o'clock! Seven o'clock!"
"Got it!"
Before Lyon could finish his sentence, the female journalist's figure vanished from her original spot and reappeared fifty steps away across the street. She broke through the outer wall of a building, revealing a man moving through the rubble inside.
"Huh?!"
The man with the diving mask, clearly startled, quickly dodged backwards, disappearing back into the wall like a diver entering a lake, leaving only half his body exposed.
But before he could fully vanish into the wall, two palms glowing with white light tore through the thick rubble like rotten fabric, exposing the diver once more.
"You... Nicole?!"
"Long time no see."
Smiling at the shocked diver, the female journalist grabbed his right leg and swung him around like a shot put, throwing him to the right.
Caught off guard, the diver didn't even have time to scream before he tumbled through two buildings, landing on a middle-aged woman with her eyes closed.
What the heck?
The Cursed Anomaly was only halfway through its incantation when it was suddenly interrupted by the flying man. The middle-aged woman, holding a Scarecrow, stood up, her face filled with anger.
But before she could utter a curse, a palm glowing with white light snatched the Scarecrow from her grasp and tore it to shreds in a matter of seconds.
Immediately after, two captured Purifiers from the Gemini Division simultaneously felt a tingling at the back of their necks, and their vision went completely dark.
...
Wow, a First-Rank Purifier indeed.
Lyon couldn't help but be impressed as he watched Nicole take down two Purifiers from the Gemini Division in less than five seconds. He reconsidered his opinion of the female journalist; although her intellect might be lacking, her abilities were undeniably formidable. Lyon couldn't even discern her actions; the Purifiers tasked with protecting Princess Felicia were knocked out in a flash.
Considering the Aquarius Director's high regard for her, it seemed Nicole possessed other Anomalies to complement her Unreachable Hands weren't her only asset. With such enhanced speed and reactions, Lyon realized he might not even have a chance to resist before being subdued.
Impressive...
Lyon sighed in admiration, glanced at the teary-eyed Princess Felicia, and abandoned his plan to knock her out with a hand chop. Instead, he called out to the distant female journalist:
"Nicole! This kid won't faint, come help me knock her out!"
