Chapter 682 Escape
After the bald man’s announcement, his subordinates began swinging their guns and yelling for the people to obey their leader’s orders.
Soon, all the Remdiks stood on the left. In no time, all eyes were on Sabino and the other dozens of Chanaeans.
The river pirates scanned through the crowd before landing their gazes on Killian. “You, come here,” was what the river pirate said in heavily-accented Chanaean.
Killian nervously looked at Sabino in response. At that, the river pirate jumped down the stage, and a wave of spiritual energy exuded out of him.
Upon sensing the wave of spiritual energy—even though it was only the spiritual energy of Superior Realm—Sabino took a step back warily.
In the meantime, the river pirate walked over to Sabino.
After coldly looking at Sabino’s face, the river pirate crouched down and put his hand on Killian’s bald head.
“Sir, he’s my son, and he has a serious heart disease…” Sabino uttered in a pleading tone when he saw the river pirate reaching out for Killian’s mask.
Meanwhile, Layla was watching the scene as she covered her mouth. She was Killian’s mother, yet she could not do anything but watch as her son enter a dangerous situation. Only another mother in the same situation could understand the agony Layla was experiencing.
When the muzzle of the gun was pressed against Sabino’s forehead, the other members of Blood Squad tensed up.
Nevertheless, Sabino discreetly signaled them to wait.
Then, the oxygen mask was pulled off, revealing Killian’s frightened and pale face.
To create a more convincing disguise, not only had they shaven Killian’s head, but they had even shaved all of his brows.
“Hrrrk…”
Suffocating noises kept coming out of Killian’s mouth, and in a few seconds, the boy’s face turned bright red.
That was the result of Sabino using his spiritual energy to seal off Killian’s airways.
Sabino was a beginner phase Grandmaster, so he could pull off small tricks in front of a cultivator of Superior Realm without alerting the other cultivator of his actions.
At the sight of Killian’s state, the river pirate let go of the boy and put the mask back on the boy’s face.
At the same time, Sabino stopped channeling his spiritual energy and let Killian breathe again.
Right then, the river pirate’s lackey came inside. After whispering something to the first pirate, he turned to look at Killian.
As a Grandmaster, Sabino had better hearing than ordinary people. Thus, he overheard the conversation between the two pirates who were less than three meters away from him.
In other words, Sabino heard the lackey tell the other pirate that they had found standard issue firearms in the room downstairs, and that room belonged to Sabino and the others.
“Sabino Quirrell?”
Once again, the river pirate lifted his gun to point it at Sabino’s forehead.
Almost simultaneously, Sabino threw Killian backward and yelled, “Now!”
Bang!
The head of the river pirates pulled the trigger at the same time as Sabino’s shout.
The bullet rushed past Sabino’s ear, and concurrently, a wave of spiritual energy spread outward in all directions.
“Halt!”
All the river pirates were immobilized by the spiritual energy.
Then, the members of Blood Squad quickly swerved through the pirates and swiftly slit the pirates’ throats.
Within seconds, screams of terror echoed in the first floor’s recreation room.
Despite the chaos, Layla stumbled toward Killian and hastily pulled the boy into her arms.
