Looking at the terrified eyes of the children, Chloe was surprised to find that she did not break down and cry in this place full of corpses. She thought of her crazy encounter in the Nightmare World. She thought of Hoffa's expression when he was facing danger, and he was surprisingly calm.
"Even if you want me to tell you what will happen in the future, I need time. I need magic power. I can't tell you everything right now."
Looking carefully at Chloe's eyes, Manse was stunned. "You are very different from when you first left Paris, Miss Lemour. Back then, you could do nothing but cry when you saw me, but now you dare to negotiate with me."
"I'm not negotiating with you. I'm just stating the facts," Chloe said.
"Are you stating the facts or stalling for time?"
Manse narrowed his eyes and took out a gun from his waist. "It seems that my scapegoat is here."
Scapegoat …?
Chloe did not have time to think about what he was trying to say.
Manse grabbed her arm and locked her in front of him. The black gun was pressed against her temple.
"Are you done watching the show, Mr. Bach?" Manse stuck to Chloe's back. "If you're satisfied, why don't you come out and have a chat with me?"
Chloe looked at the empty night in front of her. Her heart was beating fast.
Slowly, a transparent figure gradually separated from the darkness. He held a steel spike horizontally and maintained a posture of stabbing forward to assassinate. The spike was less than half a centimeter away from her throat.
Hoffa took a step back and withdrew the spike. He did not expect that his long-planned attack would be so easily seen through by a Muggle.
"How did you find me? Aren't you a Muggle?" He frowned in confusion.
"I'm just used to not underestimating any opponent. Looking at the time, it's about time you arrived." Mance laughed. "You scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat. You actually managed to sneak up behind me without making a sound. If I had acted a little later, I would have been pierced through by you." He even pretended to be frightened. "You are indeed a wizard. How frightening."
Hoffa looked around and said, "You killed so many people and you're saying that you're afraid of a wizard? It's the wizards who should be afraid of you. "
"Sigh, I was just lucky," Manse said modestly. "Or maybe they were careless. If they were more careful, they might still have a chance to live."
Hoffa was speechless. His sarcasm could be interpreted as praise, and he even accepted it calmly.
He had seen many ruthless thugs, as well as many unscrupulous monsters, but when it came to being thick-skinned, this guy was one of a kind.
"Just for her, you killed your superior and your subordinates. Are you really not afraid of the German sorcerers coming after you?"
"Who said that I killed them?"
Manse leaned against Chloe's head and said innocently.
"Who else could it be if not you? Am I the one who did it?" Huo Fa was the first to realize that something was wrong. Then, he saw the man behind Chloe's frightened face and the mocking look in his eyes.
"Mr. Bach is indeed smart. You were able to determine who the real culprit was so quickly. As expected of Mr. Grindelwald's disciple, you were able to turn so many wizards and vampires into ashes with just a flick of your finger. I'm impressed."
"Bullshit!"
Hoffa felt a chill in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "You want to throw dirty water on me? What kind of joke is this? Do you think anyone will believe you?" He took a step forward with a fierce look on his face.
"Ha, this isn't dirty water."
With a click, the safety pin on Crowley's head was removed. "If you kill me without regard for anything else, then I might kill Her Excellency Nun in a life and death struggle.
If I and this beautiful nun are together, then the death of all the vampires and wizards here will be on your head, Mr. Bach. After all, you're the only survivor here. "
As he spoke, he even smacked his lips. "Oh my god, this is an unparalleled achievement. Just thinking about it makes me envious. Sigh, from now on, you'll have another great addition to your legendary resume. Tsk tsk, killing the vampire wizard Ruthven's entire family and dealing a heavy blow to the German Wizard Association. Only you deserve such glory."
Hoffa's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth. "And then I'll be hunted down by the German wizards?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Do you think the Germans will win in the end? Their defeat is already set. Even from a Muggle's point of view, how could a mentally unstable guy like Hitler be a match for the heroes of the world?" Saying that, he licked his lips and took a step back with Crowley in his arms. "Please, even if I did a hundred bad things, just this one good deed is enough to make up for my mistakes to you British wizards."
"So this is what you did? You found a way out for yourself in advance and borrowed her power?"
"Everyone would find a way out for themselves. I don't want to see you in a military court the next time. How about it, let me go? "
Manse smiled. "I don't want to do anything to you, Hoffa. I just saw Miss Lemour's beauty and kindness and wanted to have a deep conversation with her. I know you have someone you love, Mr. Bach. Miss Lemour is just a random escort mission for you. To put it bluntly, she's a stranger you met by chance. You'll have to leave her in the end after completing the mission. If that's the case, why don't I help you send her over? It'll save you the trouble — "
"To save you the trouble?" Huo Fa sighed and interrupted Mance's incessant rambling. "I really appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for that."
With that, he disappeared on the spot.
Manse immediately pulled the nun closer to the Roman pillar behind them.
The next second.
Hoffa jumped out of the darkness and appeared in front of Manse. He quickly reached out and blocked Chloe's gun with his left hand.
Manse let out a short laugh and pulled the trigger.
The bullet hit Hoffa's black iron hand and created dazzling sparks. The sparks illuminated their faces. Then, the Browning exploded from the rebound of the bullet. The recoil and metal fragments exploded on Manse's face, causing half of his face to be covered in blood.
Unable to fight to the death, his reaction was extremely fast. He first kicked Chloe's back, sending her flying far away and rolling on the sand.
Then, with the help of the reaction force, he quickly retreated and leaned firmly against a Roman pillar. He reached for his waist and took out a detonator.
Bang!!
The Roman pillar was punched through.
Puchi!!
A steel spike penetrated the Roman pillar and came out of Manse's chest, directly piercing his heart.
The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. Manse looked down in disbelief at the steel spike in his chest and didn't make a sound.
Behind the Roman pillar, Hoffa locked his arm and took away his detonator. "Why are you thinking so much," he said disdainfully. "You're talking as if you can take her from me."
Manse didn't answer and slowly lowered his arm.
After pulling out the steel spike, the man fell to the ground face first. After twitching twice, he stopped moving.
After falling to the ground, Huo Fa immediately went up to him, raised his right hand, and turned it into a knife. He pierced his heart three times in a row until his chest turned into a sieve before he stopped.
It wasn't that he liked to torture people, but this guy was too scary. So many vampires and wizards died just like that. Although he was a Muggle, Hoffa still maintained the greatest respect for him and actively stabbed him.
After finishing, he even touched the man's neck. After confirming that there was no pulse, he stood up and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and sighed. "Damn it …"
The moonlight came out from behind the dark clouds.
"Ho … Hoffa …"
A trembling voice came from behind. Hoffa turned around and stood in front of Chloe. After three days, it seemed like a year had passed. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was oppressive. Looking at him, the nun's eyes turned red.
Her expression changed from sadness to grievance, and then from grievance to anger. "You said that you would escort me safely to London. In the end, when I opened my eyes, you were gone!"
She sat on the table and pointed at Hoffa with her chained hands, as if she wanted to scold him, but in the end, she shook off her fingers and jumped down from the table. Ignoring the fact that her hands were tied, she bent down and took off the messy gold ornaments on her head. She threw them on the ground and strode towards the place where the children were locked up.
Huo Fa hurriedly pulled her back. After finding her, he felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. She was still the kind nun. She didn't become a vampire or a monster.
"It's my fault. It won't happen again."
"If it happens again, don't come to see me!" Chloe said with a thick nasal voice.
"Okay, okay, okay." Hoffa patted her back.
"Let's talk about it later. I found a companion from the Hogwarts. We'll be safe once we leave here."
"Hmph!"
The nun angrily stretched out her hand and showed him the handcuffs.
Hoffa bent down, trying to find the key to the handcuffs on the dead Manse's body. But when he looked down, the man's body had disappeared.
At the same time, the sound of something breaking through the air came closer.
He turned around abruptly.
Splat!!
Blood splattered.
Chloe's expression froze.
Hoffa's smile became sluggish. A penetrating coldness came from his chest. After a full three seconds, he felt a sharp pain. He looked down and saw the same steel drill sticking out of his chest. It was stained red with blood.
"You still have to think more, Bach."
A whisper came from his ear. The man behind him laughed and said, "If this is all you've got, I don't deserve to carry out this mission."
The owner of the voice was the Manse that he had just pierced through the heart. Hoffa turned his head and saw the man's evil and happy eyes.
In the next second, he was knocked to the ground by the force of the impact. The Manse rode on Hoffa's chest. Half of his face was covered in blood. He looked very ferocious. The moon could be seen through the hole in his chest.
"Do you know what your fate will be, Bach?"
His tone was like a casual conversation between friends, but he didn't show any mercy. He twisted the steel drill, and Hoffa's heart was instantly smashed into pieces. He opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of blood.
"If you don't talk, then I'll tell you … You're probably going to die."
