The whole night.
Jack Hughes, Mr. Ward, and Brent were taking turns to guard the door of the ward.
This was the most efficient way to save their energy.
Daisy Hill was staying in the ward all the time. She was the last line of defense.
At late midnight, Rosie also woke up. The doctor had checked her current condition and it was not a big deal.
After the Mysterious Man settled the Iga Ninja Lord and left with injuries, he hadn’t appeared again.
Jack had learned what had happened from Brent and Daisy.
Jack wasn’t surprised. He had fought with Iga TobiKou. He knew how terrifying the strength of Iga Ninja Lord was.
However, he also knew that Iga TobiKou had taken him lightly at first when he fought with him.
Otherwise, they were both Ninja Lord. That Iga Ninja Lord could let the Mysterious Man injured but Iga TobiKou was killed by him.
In the end, Iga TobiKou should have come back to his senses. However, he was already defeated and he couldn’t turn the tide.
When it was dawn.
The Mysterious Man finally appeared.
At the moment, Jack was on duty to guard the ward. Mr. Ward and Brent went back to another ward to take a rest temporarily.
“Did you kill the Iga Ninja Lord last night?”
When they just met each other, The Mysterious Man was stunned as he asked.
Jack nodded, “Iga TobiKou.”
“Heh, he had taken you lightly.”
The Mysterious Man laughed and said it straightforward.
Jack had already expected this in his mind. He wasn’t surprised by his words.
“He is also Ninja Lord. If he didn’t take the enemy lightly, even I would have been injured, let alone you.”
The Mysterious Man sat on the bench.
Jack glanced at the injuries on the Mysterious Man’s body, “Because you are injured, then you finally come out?”
“Yeah.”
The Mysterious Man didn’t hide and he directly admitted, “The situation is too dangerous. I am already injured. If I still stay in the dark, it would be difficult for me to hold on alone.”
“I have asked Daisy to contact you to show yourself at first,” Jack said helplessly.
The Mysterious Man shook his head, “You don’t understand. In the dark, I have more freedom to perform any action. It also reduces the risk of me being exposed.”
“You don’t have to be afraid.”
Jack smiled and teased, “You have been following me for so long. You have always disguised your whole body. I and the people around me don’t know who you are. Probably, the others couldn’t know too.”
“That’s not true.”
After waiting for a while, the Mysterious Man said, “Bear with it until today ends. Return home early tomorrow morning. South Maine is not a place to stay for a long time. Tomorrow morning I will stay in the dark to cover you all to leave. You don’t have to worry about my safety.”
“Okay.”
Jack nodded.
It was a Bloody Trap. He didn’t dare to be careless.
Even if they were retreating, he didn’t dare to be careless. It was a precautionary measure that he let the Mysterious Man stay in the dark to secretly cover them to retreat.
Otherwise, if there was danger on the way to the airport, there would be a lot of random problems.
There were more than a thousand people from the office from the Hughes family and Grand Freemasons from South Maine. They could still completely guard the hospital by surrounding the hospital.
However, when they retreated tomorrow, it would be a big commotion to be escorted by a thousand people. It would affect a lot.
Furthermore, the real Masters would never care about these thousand people.
“Go and have a rest. I will guard here. I have rested all night. Guarding here for a while isn’t a big deal for me.” The Mysterious Man said.
Jack didn’t reject him.
Although Brent, Mr. Ward, and he were taking shifts this night. However, they had to concentrate and pay full attention while guarding the door of the ward. It was really tiring.
After waiting for Jack to enter the ward.
The Mysterious Man rubbed his nose and his eyes looked deep when he looked at the door of the ward that was closed.
Under the light, his lips twisted into a curve and he showed a strange smile.
