PS: Thanks to "nykfany" for the tip.
In the depths of the farm, in a room that looked like a dining hall in a medieval European castle, Bartlett who was sitting at the main seat of the long dining table and looking at the LCD screen on the wall finally had a change in his fake smile. His tone was full of surprise as he said, "Sei Itō, what are you doing! Do you want to kill your family with your own hands? "
Bartlett's words came out of the loudspeaker and into the ears of Ito Sei, who was compressing the wind and forming an ion ball.
"Hmph!" However, Sei Itō still ignored Bartlett's words. He snorted coldly and continued to carefully control the ion ball that was emitting a destructive aura.
"How cruel. You're actually willing to sacrifice your family rather than hand over that component to us?" Bartlett continued. He was trying to break Sei Itō's mental defenses with his words and leave behind an inner demon that would affect him for the rest of his life.
"You talk too much. Go to hell." After a moment of silence, Ito Sei, who finally completed the production of the ionization ball, dropped his hands and said coldly as he threw the ionization ball to the ground.
The moment the ion ball left his hand, Sei Itō immediately leaped into the air and rose a distance into the sky, preparing to avoid the expanding explosion range of the ion ball after it left the air.
In a flash, a "boom" was heard. A loud noise suddenly sounded. The small ion ball rapidly expanded and exploded. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire farm and formed a magnetic white cloud that was flashing with dazzling electric light, releasing a large amount of light and heat. It lit up the sky around the farm.
"Abandon this place immediately. Let's go." At the same time, in the underground base, Bartlett who had a completely gloomy expression crushed the crystal goblet in his hand. He stood up from his seat and ordered his secretary, Lisa, who had been following beside him the whole time.
"Yes." Lisa received the order and immediately began to convey Bartlett's order to retreat to the entire base.
"Kill them." Bartlett ordered as he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Yes." At the other end of the long dining table, several men who were standing beside Eriko, Suzu Ito, Rita Ito, and Ya Ye responded in unison.
However, just as they were about to attack, Eriko, Suzu Ito, Rita Ito, and Ya Ye looked at each other and blinked away from their seats, appearing beside the defenseless Bartlett. They formed a triangle and attacked Bartlett's body.
"Milord, be careful!" Lisa, who had just passed on the order, raised her head and looked at Bartlett. Her expression immediately changed as she shouted anxiously.
However, his voice was a step too late. Eriko, Suzu Ito, Rita Ito, and Ya Ye's attacks had already landed on Bartlett's chest, back, waist, kidney, and neck.
"Steel!" The expressions of Bartlett's subordinates in the room changed drastically. Just as they thought Bartlett was about to be killed. Bartlett's expression didn't change. He shouted in a low voice.
Instantly, the surface of Bartlett's body turned into a metallic color at a visible speed. He stood there like a puppet made of metal.
"Bam!" At this moment. The muffled sound of Eriko and the other three's attacks finally came from Bartlett's body.
Although he used a special method to block the attacks of the four wood clones, he didn't completely negate the power of the attacks. Thus, a huge pain and red blood still flowed out of Bartlett's metallic body.
"You deserve to die!" Bartlett said in a low and sinister voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bartlett's body became like a hedgehog. Countless thin and long steel needles shot out of his body and pierced towards the four wood clones.
However, the awareness of the four wood clones wasn't weak either. When they heard Bartlett's words, they had a bad feeling. They leaped away from Bartlett and dodged the slender steel spikes that were about to come out of nowhere.
"Do you think you can dodge like this?" Bartlett sneered when he saw this. The thin needles on his body immediately shot towards the four wood clones like arrows.
"Clang clang clang clang …" In an instant, the sound of hard arrows hitting wood could be heard. A large number of steel needles pierced into the four wood clones everywhere except for the vital parts of their bodies. They looked like hedgehogs.
Then, the metal needles that were nailed to the wooden clones suddenly changed. They became soft like a melted soft paper and stuck to the four wooden clones like a sticky liquid. They quickly connected with the surrounding metal sticky liquid and formed a thin metallic film that stuck to the four wooden clones.
Seeing the changes on their bodies and feeling the binding effect of the metal sticky liquid, the four wood clones looked at each other and raised their hands to form several wood hand seals.
In an instant, the four wood avatars transformed into four rapidly growing verdant trees. They used the power of growth to break through the restriction of the metal film while using their branches to wrap around Bartlett's body. They were prepared to kill Bartlett like how the giant mang did to Bartlett.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Sei Itō dares to attack this place without hesitation. You guys aren't his relatives at all. You're just puppets that he created through some unknown means!" Seeing the changes in the four, Bartlett, who had never used the Eye of Truth to check their identities, finally understood why Sei Itō dared to do what he did before. He squinted his eyes and said calmly.
Bartlett flipped his hands after understanding the reason. Two thin swords similar to Chinese swords but with a more European style appeared in Bartlett's hands. They looked like the swords used by the elves in the legends. He swung the swords in a circle and slashed at the surrounding branches that were whipping at him.
Although the thin swords were thin and looked like they couldn't be used, their sharpness was extremely exaggerated. After the wind from the swords swept past, the branches that were whipping at him all broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!" Bartlett frowned at his dazed subordinates as he swung his two swords to chop off the roots.
"Yes!" After this shout, everyone who had recovered from the shock immediately channeled the energy in their bodies and attacked the immobile Wood Clone that had turned into four large trees with their weapons or fire and water.
"Boom, kacha, crackle …" Under everyone's attacks, the four trees immediately exploded, turning into countless wood fragments that fell to the ground.
"Let's go." Bartlett looked at the four dead trees again and dismissed the two swords in his hands. He turned around and continued to walk out as he spoke calmly.
Hearing Bartlett's words, no one dared to hesitate. They quickly followed him out of the restaurant and retreated through another tunnel.
"Looks like this Bartlett isn't the kind of idiot who becomes weak and easily bullied after leaving the battlefield. He should be a master swordsman himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live so comfortably with just his ability to control metal elements." Sei Itō thought after receiving the images of the battle in the underground space from the dead Wood Clone.
"Now that the last means to threaten me is gone, Bartlett, how are you going to get that thing from me?" Sei Itō muttered to himself as he lowered his head to look at the charred ground of the farm that had been destroyed.
"Wa wa wa wa wa …" At this moment, a series of urgent sirens accompanied by red and blue lights appeared on the street not far away from the farm. The sirens were rushing toward the farm.
"The police are here. Time to run." Sei Itō chuckled when he saw this. He activated the Flying Thunder God and appeared in an empty alley where the metal plate was located.
Bang! But in the next second, a soft body slammed into him, making a muffled sound.
"Ouch." Sei Itō, who started off as a martial artist, had a stable lower body. After being hit, his body only swayed a little and neutralized the force of the impact. However, the person who crashed into him was pushed back by the rebound force and fell to the ground with a painful groan.
"How are you walking? Don't you know how to watch where you're going?" Before Sei Itō could speak, the person who was hit raised her head and glared at Sei Itō with her blue eyes.
Following the conversation, Sei Itō finally saw the appearance of the person who fell to the ground.
She had a round face that was unique to British people. Her skin was very white, and there were light brown freckles on her cheeks and nose. Her lips were slightly thin, and her nose was straight. She had shallow eye sockets, blue eyes, and wavy blonde hair. She looked to be a young woman around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
"As a gentleman, shouldn't you extend a helping hand to help me up and apologize to me?" Just when Sei Itō was looking at the woman in front of him, the woman frowned and looked at Sei Itō with displeasure.
"I'm sorry. First of all, I'm not a British gentleman. Secondly, you bumped into me, not me bumping into you. Lastly, I'm very dissatisfied with your attitude, so I'm not interested in extending my helping hand to a rude woman." Ito Sei looked at the somewhat self-righteous woman and said with a chuckle.
"Sure enough, you Easterners are all barbarians. You don't understand romance at all." Hearing Sei Itō's words, the woman's expression immediately changed. She looked at Sei Itō with a mocking expression.
Then, she didn't expect Sei Itō to help her up. She pushed herself up with one hand on the ground and stood up from the ground.
"I want to say that your choice of words is not correct. If I was really barbaric, what I would do now is not to stand here and wait for you to get up, but to directly press you to the ground and rape you on the spot. I think with your standard of public security, even if you investigate, you won't be able to find me!" Ito Sei who was getting more and more unhappy with this woman sneered.
