Chapter 64: Luring the Enemy Deep
Chapter 64: Luring the Enemy Deep
Upon seeing this group of people, Rain's heart skipped a beat. He immediately darted into the alley beside him and watched intently.
These spotted hyenas had a unique appearance, quite different from ordinary dogs.
Rain instantly associated them with the Jackal Gang that Hamilton had mentioned.
Their round ears, irregular spots on their bodies, narrow mane extending from the back of their heads to their backs, protruding jaws, and sharp teeth all indicated formidable biting strength, striking fear into onlookers.
As they advanced, Rain, who had been following them, became increasingly uneasy as their direction was clearly towards his home.
"Could it be that the Jackal Gang has finally realized Blackbeard and Scarface are missing and has come looking for them?" Rain wondered.
The spotted hyenas stopped in front of Anna's door, barking loudly. This scene delighted the burly men, who showed their excitement.
One of the gang members, who had initially planned to teach Anna a lesson, spotted the 'main target' and glared at Anna before running back to the bald strongman.

"Are you mute? Speak up!" The gang member's patience wore thin as Anna remained silent.
"Are you an idiot? With so many people around, do you want the sheriff to arrest you? Wait until nightfall, and we'll deal with this quietly," the bald strongman whispered to his subordinate.
Anna's body trembled at the gang member's question. She mumbled, but no sound came out.
The new sheriff in town seemed to be on good terms with Rain.
Anna, standing in Rain's courtyard, watched the group of fierce men and hyenas surrounding her home, her face turning pale.

"Anna, you go! I'll lock the door!"
"It's a good thing I didn't let her go; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Rain had initially planned to wait for them to leave, then quietly follow and eliminate them.
Perhaps every sister fantasizes about having a protective brother! However, when Mint expressed her confidence, Anna's anxiety dissipated.
Rain showed no sign of panic. Leaning against the tree, he brandished the greatsword wrapped in sheepskin with all his might, creating a powerful whistling sound that scared the hyenas, preventing them from attacking immediately.
"Thinking you could escape the Jackal Gang's tracking is truly naive!" The gang members laughed and loosened their grip on the ropes.
Anna, however, was still trying to figure out what she could do.
"Where are the rest of the Jackal Gang members?"
"Go and find out whose house this is!"
The men's faces showed confidence that Rain couldn't escape, while Anna and Mint looked at each other in surprise and confusion.
"Don't worry, Anna. I believe my brother will drive these bad guys away," Mint said, her big eyes full of innocence, gazing at the anxious Anna.
But soon, Anna realized what was happening and stomped her feet in frustration, her hands clenching her sleeves, knuckles turning white, and her face filled with anxiety.
Rain's 'sneaky' behavior immediately caught the attention of the burly men. One of them stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "Hey, kid, is this your house?"
"No, no! How could this be my house?" Rain pretended to be scared and quickly waved his hands.
Without much hesitation, Rain decided to take the initiative.
In the forest.
This made him happy, as he wouldn't have to ask around the town for information.
Anna gently patted Little Mint's head, then immediately stood up, holding the hem of her skirt, and ran towards the town hall.
This time, Rain should be able to create another miracle!
Four or five spotted hyenas, like untamed horses, followed Rain, barking wildly as they chased after him.
The other party also realized that as neighbors, they were likely to know whose house this was.
Rain, who was already on the second floor, had just picked up a sheepskin-wrapped steel greatsword. He turned his head and looked down, thinking, 'Damn!' How did they figure out so quickly that it was Anna's house?"
Who could have guessed that?
The bald strongman and his four or five underlings examined the house, then started whispering among themselves.
Suddenly, the bald strongman's underlings scattered and began asking passersby for information.
"Boss, shouldn't we just charge in?"
As they approached Anna's house, they pretended to discover the bald strongman and his gang, hesitating and not daring to approach.
The fair-faced girl's complexion turned even paler.
This situation was definitely going to cause trouble!
"Hey, little girl, do you know whose house this is?"
"Mint, you go inside first. I'll go find the sheriff." Anna squatted down, holding Little Mint's hands, and said gently.
Little Mint's words seemed to convey a mysterious confidence in her brother.
He had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Anna and Mint in Rain's yard, tending to the vegetables.
This made the bald strongman even more suspicious of Rain.
Suddenly, Rain turned and ran into the woods on the other side! The bald strongman, seeing Rain's panicked expression, laughed and shouted to his men, "We've found the main target! This kid is definitely up to something! Catch him, and release the dogs!"
She remembered!
At this moment, he climbed down from the second floor and stealthily made his way down the alley. Then, he strode out from the alley's entrance.
Rain ran quickly, and when he felt it was secluded enough, he slowed down.
Although she didn't know what was going on with Rain, he had been acting strangely lately. The last time he saved her from two thugs, but she still felt that against so many people and dogs, Rain might not be able to hold his own.
But she hadn't expected someone to be watching Anna so quickly.
The bald man and his gang followed the hyenas leisurely, heading towards the woods.
She crouched down, hugging Little Mint tightly, biting her lip, afraid to make a sound.
He needed to retrieve his greatsword from the room.
"Good girl!"
At this moment, Anna felt so useless! Rain was helping her again, but facing Rain in danger, she had no idea what she could do to assist him.
The five spotted hyenas were the fastest, and as soon as Rain stopped, they caught up and surrounded him, barking ferociously.
One of the bald strongman's underlings approached Anna and Little Mint, asking:
"Okay, boss!"
"Looks like my guess was right!"
"This is probably where Blackbeard disappeared."
Although they were far away, Rain's significantly improved physical condition allowed him to hear their voices clearly.
As he spoke, he quickly backed away.
"Why are you so slow?" Rain muttered.
The spotted hyenas in front of him could be killed in a few seconds if Rain wanted to.
But doing so might alert the Jackal Gang, causing them to scatter and flee.
Therefore, to capture them all at once, he could only pretend to be surrounded by the dogs, waiting for the enemies to take the bait!
