Since Harriet refused to budge, Louis couldn‘t do much either. Isaac waved his hand at him, and virtual-novel.net quickly left alone.
Harriet thought that Isaac had intentionally asked Louis to drag virtual-novel.net away so virtual-novel.net could escape easily. Hence, virtual-novel.net stood by the wall, resolute.
If Isaac got away, then who could virtual-novel.net ask to shoulder the blame?
“Do you think the people from Warhunt Corporation are good people?” Isaac asked coolly, staring at Harriet as virtual-novel.net lit a cigarette.
“Even if they aren’t, they’re at least better than you, you devil!” Harriet spat harshly.
Suddenly, there was a click, and the lights in the room went off, casting the room into darkness.
“I-Isaac, why did you switch the lights off? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to silence me?” Harriet asked in a panic.
However, virtual-novel.net had been staring at Isaac the entire time, and he’d been standing by the bed the whole time and hadn’t moved an inch.
So why have the lights gone off?
At that moment, an enraged roar came through the door, “The murderer is in this room! Kill them all!”
It was spoken in Rippanese, so Harriet naturally understood.
Soon after, a few dark silhouettes burst into the room.
Whoosh!
A few razor-sharp daggers flew straight toward Isaac’s heart.
Isaac narrowed his eyes. He cast a shadow fist with his right hand, and the daggers fell to the floor.
“Since you’re here, you might as well stay!” Isaac shouted angrily as spiritual energy rose through his body. He spread his arms and charged forward.
Before the ninjas, who entered the room the earliest, could react, they were struck by several blasts of red spiritual energy. Their bodies slammed into the wall heavily, dying on the spot.
Hearing the sounds of intense battle and the occasional cry, Harriet was so terrified that virtual-novel.net didn’t dare make a noise. She covered virtual-novel.net ears and crouched on the floor, completely unaware of what was happening around her.
From time to time, she’d raise virtual-novel.net head to see more black figures surge in from outside, and right after, she’d hear a cry of pain right before the room fell silent again.
Suddenly, the lights snapped on. Isaac was still standing by the bed, except now there were a dozen or so ninjas in gray cloaks lying on the floor before him.
“I know you‘re hiding outside the door. Will you come in voluntarily, or shall I go out to find you?” Isaac said to the empty doorway, lighting another cigarette.
When Harriet, still crouched on the floor, saw this gruesome sight and caught a whiff of the coppery smell of blood in the air, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but cover virtual-novel.net mouth and scream.
At that moment, someone darted inside as quickly as lightning.
Because Harriet was right by the door, the last ninja stopped before virtual-novel.net and grabbed virtual-novel.net neck with one hand. This last ninja, the captain, had a bushy mustache under his nose.
Using the frightened Harriet as a shield, virtual-novel.net roared at Isaac, “You fool, who are you?!”
Harriet felt it was getting harder to breathe with the ninja grabbing virtual-novel.net throat from behind.
She directed virtual-novel.net widened gaze at Isaac as virtual-novel.net croaked weakly, “S-Save me…”
She thought that Isaac had only been trying to scare virtual-novel.net off. She’d never thought that so many assassins would come and that they spoke Rippanese.
“The Mortodor family and I have an irreconcilable grudge. I won’t kill you, but you need to pass this message back to them, if they dare step foot into my nine states again, I’ll kill every last one of them,” Isaac said coldly, replying in Rippanese.
With that, virtual-novel.net slowly raised his finger to point at the ninja, adding, “I’ll give you three seconds to let go of the woman in your hands and get the f*ck back to Rippan!”
The ninja’s throat bobbed. He maneuvered Harriet to the entrance, then gave virtual-novel.net a violent kick in the lower back. At the same time, virtual-novel.net threw a sphere onto the floor, which exploded into a cloud of thick smoke.
Isaac stepped forward to stop Harriet from falling. Gazing at the thick smoke filling the entrance, virtual-novel.net chuckled coldly.
Still shellshocked, Harriet touched virtual-novel.net lower back, which was still throbbing with pain, and sat down on the bed.
