For ordinary people, it was inevitable that they would panic when they found out that there was a conspiracy against them. If the other party used force, it would make the situation worse.
In fact, a real battle might not break one's will, but the unbearable wait was the real pain. The unknown was always the greatest source of fear.
However, for others, it was like a very fun game. Once they thought about how many people were plotting to kill them, they would feel a great sense of accomplishment. This was especially true for immature teenage boys and girls.
"So, this is the reason why you want me to get you a batch of guns?"
Robin looked at his little sister with a strange expression. He could not help but reach out and pat her head. "Just stay at home. If those people really dare to come, I'll deal with them. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."
"No! Don't interfere! "
Catherine sat cross-legged on the sofa and shouted with a look of defiance. "I want to defeat them myself. I'm dying of boredom! Dorothy and Semia will help me! I have enough strength to defeat them! "
"Boredom?"
Robin rolled his eyes speechlessly. He casually picked up a magazine next to him. "Your friends have all gone to do their own things. You're the only one who has nothing to do all day. You used to go to the bar occasionally, but now? Look at you. You play games every day, watch soap operas … You get whatever you want. Of course, you're bored. "
He flipped open the book and glanced at his angry little sister. He shook his head.
"It's not that I want to criticize you, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll really be crippled."
Catherine crossed her arms and snorted. She said with a look of disdain.
"I want to go to South America to fight those warlords, but you guys won't let me go!"
"Damn it! You're only 17! "
The veins on Robin's head bulged. "Can't you do something a 17-year-old girl should do? Fall in love? Or go on a trip? Why don't I send you to college? "
"No! I'm not going! "
Catherine shook her head frantically.
"Saber said that I can't fall in love at such a young age … I'm walking around Gotham, and there are 30 people following behind me. How do you expect me to travel? University is even more boring. Those brats don't understand that everything they do is meaningless. Just look at Sassen and Erwin. They didn't accomplish anything when they were students, but after they became thugs, they became successful. "
She counted her fingers and refuted Robin's words one by one. In the end, she spread her hands helplessly.
"Look, I didn't want it to be like this, but I have no choice … Unless you let me go to New York. Didn't Saber say that the entire Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths went missing? I'm sure I can find them. "
"No!"
Robin rejected. "New York is too dangerous now. Forget it, I don't care anymore. You won't be a threat in this house anyway. Don't go overboard."
He glanced at his watch, stood up, patted his clothes, and threw a bunch of keys to Catherine. "I'm going to work. Let's get this over with. Saber will be back tonight. Let's have dinner together."
Robin was now the deputy director of the Gotham Port Authority. He had a lot of things to deal with every day, but he was full of energy. It didn't stop him from going out at night to carry out his justice.
After Robin left, Catherine jumped up from the sofa. First, she ran to the basement to get two dark green boxes. Then, she ran to her room and put on the armor that she had secretly ordered from Uncle Lucius. Lucius's armor business now had a few regular buyers and had been updated a lot. Catherine's armor was the latest.
It used the most advanced composite material and could block bullets at a medium distance. It was equipped with an electronic map, a beginner artificial intelligence computing center, a fire control system, and 12 weapon ports. It used the most popular armor inside, and the mask was very similar to a medieval warrior's crown.
Catherine wore the red armor and looked left and right in front of the mirror. Finally, she buckled her helmet with satisfaction. Then, a mighty looking female knight appeared in the room. Her heavy metal belt was engraved with two slanted "K" s, representing her identity. On her left and right sides, there were two fighting sticks that Saber had given her.
Black pistols were fixed to her legs, and there were two holsters under her ribs. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and swung out from behind the mask. She looked armed to the teeth.
“Cool!”
Catherine snorted with satisfaction. Then, she snapped her fingers. A cloud of gray fog appeared behind her, and Fallen Angel Semia, who was wearing gray armor and had her black wings folded, walked out. As a high-level magical creature, Semia could protect Catherine's safety in most situations. However, because the little girl's mental strength was limited, the contracted Semia was actually just a young Fallen Angel. In the face of a real expert, she was still not enough.
"My little sweetheart Semia, hold the line for me."
She reached out and touched the Fallen Angel's cold face. This title made the Fallen Angel a little speechless. She was definitely not satisfied with being dragged out of hell to sign a humiliating master-servant contract. However, after Saber killed the King of Fallen Angels, Lucifer, this dissatisfaction could only be hidden in her heart.
In the face of power, no matter what kind of creature it was, there would be a subconscious retreat, and the Fallen Angel was the same.
However, Catherine was still very good to her, and she had never forced her to do things against her own will. In addition, she also obtained the ability to pass through obstacles from this contract, so the two sides were actually more of a cooperative attitude.
Dorothy, who had officially become the head maid of Saber's villa, stood outside Catherine's room with a cold expression. She was still wearing the black and white dress, which was of very exquisite texture. She was already holding a long wooden box in her hand. As a member of this family, she felt that she had to do her part.
After a long wait, night finally shrouded the sky above the villa. Catherine deliberately dismissed the guardians around the villa. It was as if she had opened the gates of a castle, creating an excellent infiltration environment for those conspirators.
Whoosh.
The first guy in a dark red jumpsuit appeared in the darkness, followed by a second, a third, and finally dozens of armed attackers. Their movements were very strange. They always disappeared into the darkness with a shadowy fog, and then reappeared somewhere else, as if they had teleported.
But this was actually just a secret technique of the Hand's ninjas. As one of the oldest assassin organizations in the world, the Hand had existed in Japan for hundreds of years. It was said that they originated from the Shadow Warriors, but the Hand didn't admit to this. They believed that they were the ones who had inherited the ancient legacy.
However, in the great outbreak of mysterious creatures, Japan had been occupied by gods and devils who had brazenly charged out, and the Hand had had no choice but to abandon their base and move to the United States. Just as the Shadow Warriors had chosen Star City as their new base when they moved west, the Hand had also chosen a new base. But these guys were ambitious. Apart from New York, they also had their eyes on Gotham.
In this situation, The Devil Gang was an opponent they had to get rid of.
"Break in!"
A low Japanese voice rang out in the ears of all the ninjas. These crazy guys raised the weapons in their hands. Usually, they held a gun in one hand and a sharp katana in the other. There were also some special guys who used cold weapons to fight. They seemed to be continuing ancient ninja traditions. Shurikens, chains, flying scythes, and fighting pitchforks. These cold weapons made with modern craftsmanship were wrapped in some special power, and looked like they were wrapped in a dark fog.
The guys who had come to kidnap the little princess of The Devil Gang, Catherine, were the true elites of the Hand. They could all skillfully use the power of shadow beasts. As for what shadow beasts were, let's talk about that later. When the first ninja charged into Saber's villa, the battle between Catherine's trio and the 43 ninjas officially began.
Bang!
The first ninja to charge into the villa raised his head and saw Lady Dorothy standing in the darkness in a black-and-white maid outfit, as well as the heavy sniper rifle in her hands. The muzzle of the rifle was aimed squarely at his forehead. The guy didn't even have time to give a warning before half of his head was blown off by the terrifying bullet. His body fell from the roof of the villa and started to burn in the air before it finally turned into ashes and disappeared.
"One."
Dorothy moved her head away from the scope and frowned at the disappearing body. The next moment, the sound of three sharp blades whistling through the air rang out behind her. She waved her hand, and two basins of water next to her condensed into sharp water knives which instantly pierced the heads of the two ambushers behind her.
"Two … and three!"
In the room, the three ninjas who jumped into the living room at the same time saw Catherine sitting on the sofa with her hands spread out on either side of it. She was wearing armor and seemed to have been waiting for them. Her disdainful voice came from under the armor.
"Is this the extent of your power? Tsk, it's not worth mentioning! "
It was obvious that she was imitating Saber's tone, but this kind of domineering speech sounded a little funny coming from the mouth of a 17-year-old girl.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Three sharp throwing knives pierced Katherine's body, and in the next moment, the girl directly disappeared from the sofa and dived into the ground. This change made the Hand ninjas a little confused, but soon, Katherine, who was holding two guns, quietly stuck out her upper body from the wall behind them and pressed against their heads.
Bang bang.
Two gunshots rang out, and two lives were easily lost. The last guy tried to fight back, but Catherine jumped down and punched into his abdomen. She really punched in. She grabbed something warm and still beating. She chuckled and pulled it out with all her might.
"Look what I've got!"
Pu.
An intact heart was thrown to the ground. The guy who counterattacked lost everything in an instant and knelt in front of Katherine. When the ninjas at the back saw such a cruel scene, they subconsciously stopped in place. A gray shadow broke through the space above their heads. The dark wings behind Samia spread open in the night. The fallen angel wearing orthodox medieval armor wielded a long sword burning with black flames in both hands and landed in the crowd with a wide range Arc Slash.
Pu.
Five figures were easily cut in half in the dark, and the smell of blood instantly filled the night sky. Samia's entrance sealed off the ninjas' path of retreat. She stood there with the Blackfire sword in her hand, and as she flapped her wings, a large confinement barrier enveloped Saber's villa.
For the fallen angels who specialized in the Law of the Fallen, it was almost easy to imprison these ninjas who were stronger than ordinary people.
The eyes of the commander of the Hand Ninjas twitched as he watched the massacre from the dark. In just two minutes, he had lost a quarter of his elites!
Ben had lied to him!
The information that the Shadow Warriors had given them was wrong!
As Saeber Hawk's greatest weakness, Katherine Anne Hawk was a powerless young lady who couldn't even truss a chicken! Damn it! Look at the girl who was slaughtering his subordinates like an evil ghost … How could she be powerless?
The commander clearly wasn't an idiot. He immediately realized that the Shadow Warriors had betrayed the Hand Ninjas! Those damn bastards were using them as shields. What was worse was that tonight's operation had already put them on the opposite side of The Devil Gang …
He had stepped into this meticulously set up trap. Ben didn't care about their lives at all. He was just buying time for his evil plan. Damn it!
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! "
The commander shouted in Japanese, and then took the lead to rush out of the hiding place. But when he turned his head, more than a dozen people wearing purple hoods and holding sharp blades appeared behind him without him noticing. The leader was wearing an exquisite crown, and from her figure, it could be seen that she was a woman.
"Help! You … you're also involved in this scheme! You bastards betrayed the ancient covenant! "
The commander yelled angrily, but at the next moment, Tang Jing's figure dissipated like smoke. The commander retreated quickly, raised the two curved blades in his hands, one long and one short, and blocked Tang Jing's sudden attack. But at the same time, Tang Jing appeared behind him like a dark shadow. The long blade in his hand pierced the commander's heart without hesitation.
"Idiot of the Hand, I'll be taking your head!"
Tang Jing grabbed the commander's hair and took the blade from his subordinate. He swept it across coldly, and there wasn't much blood flowing out of the wound. The female leader of the Hand Ninjas held the head in her hand.
"This would be the perfect gift to make friends … How pitiful, being used by two allies at the same time. An ancient covenant? Hmph … only a fool would take it seriously. "
