Chapter 135

Not bad, so far so good.

After struggling out of the rose bushes, Leon looked at the pink six-story building not far away. Successfully infiltrating Rose Manor, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

Although Red Pine Avenue was in chaos with people searching for him everywhere, with the soul vision of the Black Goat, he just had to take a slight detour and successfully avoided them.

The same went for the sentries of Rose Manor. Although the guard force of the Marcellini Family wasn’t bad, thanks to his “full map hack,” once the patrols left, he simply walked through the woods, climbed over two walls, and directly entered the heart of Rose Manor.

Following the position indicated by Ms. Lisa, all he had to do next was go around the pink main building in the courtyard, enter the four-story building on the east wing, and successfully rescue the person… Hmm?

Looking at the souls in his soul vision that were clearly getting “chaotic,” Leon’s eyebrows couldn’t help but slightly furrow. But before he could react, the alarm bells in the manor were pulled, and two incredibly bright xenon floodlights were turned on. They started wildly shining towards the southwest corner of the rose garden like big spotlights in a dance floor.

But it’s daytime…

Looking at the two glaring lights obviously aimed at him, Leon’s expression couldn’t help but darken a bit. If the Marcellini family didn’t have the habit of throwing parties during the day, then his infiltration was definitely discovered, and apparently quite thoroughly. The other side even directly confirmed his general location.

“This way! This way!”

“Follow the lights!”

“Spread out! Maintain formation!”

“Don’t let anyone escape!”

Looking at the rapidly approaching souls in his soul vision and hearing the increasingly nearby clamor, Leon immediately began thinking about his next move after the failed infiltration.

If he retreated… His current position was in the heart of Rose Manor, and the guards were all advancing towards where the lights were pointing. If he turned back, not only would he have to run a long distance, but he’d also collide head-on with the thickest encirclement.

And the straight-line distance between him and the target was only three or four hundred meters. At his top speed, this distance would probably take less than half a minute to cover.

So he could completely choose to continue forward through the main building, break the wall to rescue the person, and then leave from the other side of the estate. This way, he could complete the mission while avoiding the swarming guards… No time to hesitate, charge! After spending just a second analyzing the situation and deciding to continue forward, Leon decisively rushed out of the rose garden towards the main building. In just a few breaths, he successfully reached the foot of the main building.

“Bang!”

Having shattered the window in advance with the Holy Spirit Pendant, bolstered by the parkour badge’s enhancement, Leon nimbly climbed in through the window into what seemed to be a kitchen. Then, amidst the shocked gazes of several chefs, he kicked open the kitchen door, ran through the corridor, and burst into the front hall on the first floor.

“What’s going on?”

“What the hell is this?”

“What are you doing… Ow!”

Ignoring those who were startled, Leon maintained high speed as he charged through the front hall. He kicked over an old tall man with a purple-black soul without slowing down, then rushed into the opposite corridor, barged into a room that was likely a servant’s rest area, and again smashed the window and jumped out amidst the screams of several young maids.

In merely ten seconds, he directly crossed through the main building. As he continued moving towards the shorter building on the east wing, he tightly gripped the Holy Spirit Pendant.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the wall on the second floor of the east wing collapsed instantly. The woman inside trying to pick the lock barely managed to scream in terror before being directly carried over the shoulder by the figure breaking in. Following that, they crashed out of the room together.

“Ahh!”

“Boom!”

“Die!”

“Boom!”

Carrying the woman on his shoulder, Leon consecutively tore down four walls, leaped down from the other side of the small building, and directly rushed into the forest outside the estate. As long as he ran another seven or eight hundred meters, he’d reach the outer fence of Rose Manor.

Safe!

Carrying the woman further, after completely shaking off all pursuers and seeing the estate fence close at hand, a slight smile finally appeared on Leon’s face.

It’s fine. Even though there were some hiccups along the way, he still managed to escape unscathed. All that remained was to send this Miss Chal Department Store back, and his mission would be complete.

“Wait… wait a moment… um…”

Just as Leon took a deep breath and broke open the iron gate in front of him, the woman he was carrying finally recovered from the thrilling sprint.

Though she didn’t know Leon’s identity and hadn’t even seen his face clearly, since he saved her from Rose Manor, he must not be one of the Marcellini family’s people. He was probably someone her father hired to save her.

Taking a couple of breaths and calming her stomach which felt like it was tossed around violently, the kidnapped rich lady covered her mouth and lightly patted Leon’s back.

“You… who are you?”

“…”

Ah, because of the hiccup halfway through, the covert rescue turned into a forced demolition rescue, and there wasn’t even time to explain his identity and tell her he was sent by her dad.

Glancing back at Rose Manor, confirming that no one should be able to catch up in the short term, Leon put down the woman who had been jostled enough, helped stabilize her dizzy body, and then replied:

“I am your father… Hmm?”

Leon’s words weren’t finished when the woman in front suddenly disappeared, replaced by a scary-looking grandma with huge eyes and a few old men with stunned faces.

Meanwhile, those who witnessed Leon’s wild dash upstairs and finally decided to call on the brown-robed woman were similarly stunned by his unconventional “opening line.” Facing developments beyond their expectations, both sides fell into a brief silence.

A little while later, the well-versed brown-robed woman reacted first, smiling at the promising new Lionheart Duke in front of her and extending her goodwill.

“I’m the bishop of the wealth sect of the Scale Gold Religion. You can call me…”

“Bang!”

While petting the Black Goat’s forehead, preparing to check if these guys were good people, upon hearing the words “Scale Gold Religion,” Leon didn’t hesitate for even a second. He directly activated the Holy Spirit Pendant, blowing her head into mush like a watermelon.

Because of her sudden death, the brown-robed woman’s soul didn’t even have time to react, still floating there dumbfounded, with a big question mark rising from her purple-black soul.

Indeed, things weren’t that simple. It seems he was ambushed! Though he didn’t know exactly what happened, Leon, who already had a blood feud with the Scale Gold Religion after personally killing their Holy Spirit, immediately directed his gaze towards the other Scale Gold Religion “believers” around him, once again gripping the Holy Spirit Pendant tightly.
