Another World Mall

Chapter 441 Assassins

"To think that it would come to this…"

"Yeah. In the end, he is the one causing everything."

"Despite saying those words, you agree to help him."

"Shut up. I'm just repaying the favor. One more word from you, I'm going to beat you first, Greg."

"Hahaha. You're always like this, Paen."

These two were the old men that were watching Clovis when he awakened as an explorer. They were the Lion Mercenary Group's president, Gregory MacTavish, and the Milun Enterprise's CEO, Lipaen Reynan.

Gregory once gave Clovis the pass to become an explorer, while Lipaen was the one protecting Melody's brother.

Both of them were standing on top of the north wall, staring at the incoming beasts.

"This is not going to end well. How many are they?" Gregory frowned.

"Still under calculation. The city defense has been activated, and the soldiers are moving to their positions. Our job as the Tier 5 humans of this city is to take down several high-tier beasts. We have to stop them from reaching the wall so that the rest of the soldiers can repel them." Lipaen shrugged.

"That sounds simple enough. The other walls?"

"They are…"

Standing on top of the east wall are Kanaria's mother and Jay's father respectively.

Vania muttered, "Because of the current situation, we should be the ones holding the front line."

"I know that. I agree to this plan because it'll open up the path for my son."

"Hahaha. You're so strict that your son is annoyed by you."

"I'm just telling him how to behave." Nick shook his head helplessly. "As a human, if there is a beast in front of you, we have to put our grudge down and work together."

"Yeah, but those who are working with beasts can't be considered humans anymore. In that case, there's no need to put our grudge down. My father will definitely be able to take down Thomas."

Nick shrugged. "I don't know. My old man should be equal to Raymond Rusth, but there are some variables."

"The assassins?" Vania squinted her eyes.

"Yeah. I'm just worried that they will be messing with our plan."

"Don't worry. I don't know Clovis' plan, but my daughter believes that it will work."

"You're putting too much burden on a young lad. It's us, adults, who should be the ones solving this problem." Nick sighed.

"In any case, we're to stop those beasts here. If we can withstand the attack, we can start dealing with those inside the city."

Nick nodded with a serious expression.

Clovis' plan involved those four Tier 5 humans to hold the lines with a lot of soldiers. Meanwhile, the other two walls were protected by one Tier 5 human each, with the commander protecting the south wall.

The rest of the Tier 5 humans had to be sent to the underground base to stop any invasion if the enemies also planned to attack the underground city.

As Vania and Nick worried, there were some variables in this plan.

One of the assassins was already waiting near Kanaria's grandfather and Thomas, ready to strike him down. He was the calmer guy, the one with both hands.

"It seems that everything has started." The assassin looked at Thomas, waiting for the right chance.

The other assassin was actually walking to Clovis' door. Clovis didn't expect that the enemy would come to him directly, but this also made everything simple.

"Change of plan. You guys regroup. I'll be taking down this Tier 5 assassin." Clovis took a deep breath.

"Heh? Do you think you're able to stop me? I might have lost my hand, but the gap between the two of us is simply too big. You can only dream of beating me."

As the assassin said, the original plan was to have Erwin fight alongside Reolf to stop a Tier 5 assassin while the rest took down the other.

While Clovis should be stronger than Erwin overall, Erwin should be able to buy more time because the gap between them was smaller.

But it didn't mean Clovis was out of options.

"I don't know. Maybe I'll break the record once again and defeat a Tier 5 human." Clovis smirked while taking a bite of the bite-size cupcake.

The assassin smirked, his eyes were exuding killing intent. "I'll freaking crush you! I'll grind your bones and skin you alive. I'll let your people see your state."

"Do you think I don't know that you can't kill me? Why would you even bother to come head-on instead of ambushing if that's not the case?"

"!!!" The assassin's eyebrows twitched.

"What I want to say is… Just quit yapping and accept that you will be remembered as a loser." Clovis pulled out his swords.

The assassin gritted his teeth while rushing toward Clovis with his dagger.

His friend looked at the north and east walls while listening to the roars. "They're about to reach the city. I guess all of them are now busy on the wall. No more reinforcement…"

The assassin took a deep breath, erasing his presence. He dashed toward Kanaria's grandfather from behind while throwing a knife.

However, a string suddenly reached the knife's handle. With a single wave of a hand, the knife turned around and flew back toward him.

"!!!" The assassin knocked the knife away with his dagger. He turned his head to the side, finding Erwin.

"Where do you think you're going?" Erwin glared at him.

'This is… a trap!' The assassin tossed his body to the left. In that instant, a bullet grazed the side of his chest. The assassin was shocked. This bullet should have hit his chest, but thankfully his reaction speed was quick.

As soon as the bullet failed, Jay rushed to him from behind.

"Scram!" The assassin smashed him with his full power, but there was a shield blocking his attack. As a result, Jay and Ragna were only pushed back by two meters.

The assassin looked around, realizing that he had been surrounded by Libation Fiesta.
