Chapter 412 Kidnapping Or Saving
When someone had landed before him, a casual wave of his soul sense to inspect, was all he had done, but now that he was referred to with respect, fear, and a relief-filled tone, Seth did a double-take.
With her rather short skirt and navel-revealing top, heavy makeup, and the strong perfume exuding from her, the woman before Seth could be termed as some prostitute or hooker wanting to tempt Seth or lead him to her bed, but then, every other thing about her pointed to her presence being far from anything related to pleasure.
Barefooted, the blonde woman before Seth breathed heavily, and the blood running down both sides of her face and even staining some of her blonde hair showed that she hadn\'t just been running around for fun.
Though the blood woman\'s current injured state drew attention, what really stood out about her was the unconscious woman dressed in a white gown that she had over her shoulders.
It didn\'t take a genius to reason that the woman was most likely kidnapping someone, and though he was hardly ever interested in other people\'s business, his lips couldn\'t help but curl in amusement at the situation.
"Are you saving or kidnapping her?" Seth asked as if it were a normal day, and he was curious about a normal event.
While Gudzil, who had been panicking at the woman\'s sudden presence, nearly fainted at Seth\'s casualness, the woman before them quickly answered with a hesitant expression. "I\'m kidnapping her."
"Oh, did you seduce her?" Seth asked.
"Yes."
"Interesting, you\'re Jane, right, one of Alice\'s subordinates?" Seth said, tapping his index finger on his forehead as he recollected the memory he had of this woman, being one of the people who had taken him after his battle with Jenkins to Alice.
"Yes, Your Excellency, that\'s me," Jane answered, her voice less enthusiastic than before.
"Okay, so you\'re standing here in front of me. What do you want? They\'ll soon be done killing your teammates," Seth said his right hand pintignin the direction where the recent explosions had just happened.
Jane opened her mouth to answer but then closed it, hesitation on her face. But then her head snapped to the left, looking at the area for a second, and then she quickly looked back at Seth and spoke hurriedly.
"I want to get this woman to Her Excellency. Can you help me?" Though Seth wondered why the woman had intentionally come to him for help and actually been expecting it, he pegged it to her being desperate to survive or complete whatever mission she was in the process and her being hopeful in their one time familiarity.
Seth could feel Jane\'s dantian, and other than it being empty, he could feel her body shivering and shaking just from the extra weight it had on, showing how exhausted the woman was. Perhaps Seth could have abandoned her, but he did remember screwing her and how much she satisfied his lust-filled self back then.
"Okay, just stay close." With Seth\'s words, visible relief flashed on Jane\'s face, and she quickly moved to Seth\'s right, occupying his empty side and with determination on her face, she waited for Seth to move.
Though Seth\'s words had sent Gudzil weeping within at what was going on and why Seth was accepting to protect this woman who was clearly involved in the current unrest of the city, he quickly calmed his mind and moved to offer his help. Though he couldn\'t make a thorough read, the fact that Seth had spoken to her casually and then agreed to help her showed that she was a worthwhile acquaintance and seeing the fatigue, Gudzil moved towards her.
"How about I help you carry her?" Gudzil said, but all his good intentions received was the woman turning toward him with a cold look, her left hand securing the woman on her shoulders, her right hand tightening around a dagger which looked ready to pierce him at any moment.
Seeing this, Gudzil quickly retracted his step and moved beside Seth, his heart a little heavy after just enduring the sharp aura of the very deadly female 3rd stage general cultivator.
"Soldiers," Seth internally thought, unable to help but praise their perseverance, loyalty, and tenacity.
Keeping in mind that he now had an extra person to protect, Seth began moving and immediately, he took his first step, a wave of darkness began slowly rising from the ground.
When both Jane and Gudzil noticed this event, their bodies tensed and seeing Seth\'s unworried expression, they both moved a little closer to him with grim faces.
First, the darkness slowly rose from beneath, covering the ground with a layer of darkness until soon the ground for miles seemed to be a black ink sea.
At that moment, the eyes of the people beside Seth were peeled open, their faces scrunched in worry as they felt several qi signatures begin moving in their direction, not to mention the heavy buildup of qi coming from the gate towers ahead.
Right now, the two people beside Seth knew that they had gotten the attention and possible wrath of an entire Rank B city on them and though a wave of fear ran through them, they could only firm up their wills and hold their ground.
From their own different experiences, Gudzil and Jane knew Seth was a far-from-ordinary man, and though they weren\'t sure of his plan or if he had one, they could only choose to believe in him, especially given how powerless they were at the moment.
With several qi signatures congregating on their position, Gudzil and Jane prepared themselves for combat but before any noteworthy opponent or attack could come their way, the darkness which had covered the ground began moving.
All of the darkness began moving in waves and rushing toward a particular location not too far from their current location and stacking together, quickly rising to the height of a mansion but yet still growing, the massive accumulation of the darkness only slowing down when it was just about bigger than a hill.
