Chapter 114 - Ambush

Cyril took the Alchemist Bag and the Max Stealth Potion he bought. They even received a VIP status in any branch of the Meddus Paramount. In the future, they'll get a discount and privileges when purchasing their products.

'This bag is quite heavy…'

He hesitated for a moment before he decided to use his Dimensional Storage Space in front of Bonnie.

"Ugh… What just happened?" Bonnie was obviously surprised since the existence of a similar artifact called the Interspatial Ring would only appear in four more years. Right now, the concept of storing items in another dimension is unheard of!

"Well, just a simple trick, Aunt. Make sure not to tell anyone. In case you also need to store something, I can use the same trick and keep it safe in another dimension."

Cyril answered deciding not to name the ability yet.

"You… I thought you're no longer keeping secrets. I still have a lot to learn I guess."

"Of course, not. I just recently acquired this ability. Anyway, I will only use it to store extremely important things."

Bonnie then asked a few more questions about the things that can be stored…

They decided to leave the Hotel and were about to find their car at the carpark but Cyril suddenly noticed a group of people following them.

Because there are many people going out of the hotel, they don't seem suspicious at first. However, Cyril has dealt with many criminals like them before.

Their killing intent is evident for him.

'What now? Did I offend someone here at the hotel?' Cyril thought for a moment and had a few ideas about the reason why he's being followed.

"Aunt… I think that going back home might be troublesome."

"Eh? What now?"

"Ugh… Someone's following us and I can feel their blood lust. However, they aren't moving yet since there are still a lot of people going out of the hotel."

Bonnie frowned as she didn't think that they will get targeted after an auction… Though they purchased some valuable items, it can't be considered to be too precious to commit a crime against an A-Rank Awakened.

After all, there are a lot more people here who managed to purchase better items.

"I want to deal with them right now. It's better to be on the offensive side instead of being ambushed." Cyril planned and immediately acted without waiting for Bonnie's reply.

"What am I going to do then?"

"To be safe, stay near me… They might target you if you leave my side."

"That's good to hear."

The carpark is a bit dark so it's a perfect place to deal with these people.

Cyril pulled out a couple of his Artifacts from his storage and immediately activated one of them.

Traceless Scarf…

The item couldn't make him invisible but it would allow him to be untrackable. His movements wouldn't be predicted and if they can't see him properly, there was no way for them to sense his existence.

This Artifact is Rank-B in the first place. So this group of C-Rank shouldn't be thinking of outclassing his Artifact.

"This guy! He noticed us!"

"Don't panic! Isn't this better! He's going after us!"

"R-right…"

"He must've noticed that we're only at C-Rank and underestimated us… Keke…"

"Ahh… That's true. Just my gun should probably be enough…"

The group of men working for Fabrice already thought that Cyril is a dead man. However, they suddenly realized that Cyril moved extremely quickly, and although they have been careful all the time, they still missed his movement completely.

As soon as they realized what's going on, Cyril was already in their midst with his long scarf strapped around his neck.

They already have their guns ready to kill Cyril and small blades to supposedly scare Bonnie…

However, once Cyril got too close and entered their midst, they have to be careful when firing their gun to avoid friendly fire.

Unfortunately, even though the leader of the five thought of this, his subordinates were too reckless and fire as soon as they saw Cyril…

Bang! Bang!

The guns they have were obviously ones with a silencer.

Due to this, the noise created wasn't enough to draw everyone's attention, especially now that multiple cars are exiting the place.

The noise from the car's engine was enough to disguise the sound of the gunfire created in this commotion.

"Aahh!"

"You-- Stop shooting! Use your blades!"

The leader was so frustrated since his men has never been this stupid before. They would normally have great teamwork that they are confident in facing those higher-ranked Awakened.

Unfortunately, these guys got too confident that they'll be able to shoot Cyril with their bullets only to fail at the end.

"Crap!"

The ones who instinctively shot at Cyril realized their mistake but it was already too late…

Cyril managed to dodge a couple of bullets by pure luck since he was expecting to be shot and the other two bullets were blocked by his Aura and Armor that he wore inside his shirt.

Clank! Clank!

At this moment, Cyril didn't let the opportunity get to waste as he sliced at the nearest man with all his might!

Slaaasshh!

Someone's body was brutally cut in half stunning the others!

It feels like they aren't facing a fellow human but a beast instead!

Cyril continued his slaughter as he relied on his armor and aura to defend against the bullets!

He has to do it as quickly as possible since controlling and manifesting his S-Rank Aura isn't that so easy and requires tremendous concentration. This is way above his previous F-Rank Aura after all.

"W-we surrender! Please spare us!"

"We're just ordered by our boss to do this. We don't really want to kill you… But our boss will kill us if we didn't follow him!"

From the five C-Rank Awakened planning to finish off Cyril, only two remained.

Cyril looked at the weapons they'd thrown to the ground before questioning the two.

"Who are you? Who ordered you to do this?" Cyril asked coldly.
