Chapter 506

After hearing Leon’s words, the Jade-eyed Maiden couldn’t help but feel momentarily stunned, once again experiencing from a human perspective what it meant to be “stunned.”

Strictly speaking, this body that was created less than two months ago was indeed being controlled by Apheta 01… because I am Apheta 01! “I know, it sounds hard to believe.”

Looking at the girl whose soul was wildly fluctuating and whose strange precision was almost completely disappearing, Leon understood that his shock therapy had worked. He immediately pressed on: “Actually, aside from my identity as a prince, I’m also a cleaner for the Virgo Subdivision. Through certain channels, we received information that there seems to be a mysterious organization targeting the royal families of various countries.

According to the agreement between the Clearing Bureau and the royal family, the Clearing Bureau has the responsibility to protect the safety of royal family members. Therefore, we initiated an investigation mission to clarify the situation in the Crocodile Kingdom and protect the royal family.”

“…”

These things I already know… but how did you end up protecting me?…

“Originally… it’s like this…”

After a few seconds of stunned silence, instinctively feeling that getting close to this man would bring her great misfortune, Princess Phelia blinked her big eyes and forced a smile under Leon’s gaze while looking around nervously: “But I’m not very clear about what you’re saying. How about I tell Andre when I go back and have him discuss with you?”

“We will certainly contact Prince Andre as well. As for you…”

Leon tightly grabbed the Jade-eyed Maiden’s wrist and glanced at her soul, which clearly wanted to escape, sighing inwardly.

It seems this child still doesn’t trust me or isn’t aware of the situation where the royal family has been compromised. Then there’s no choice but to follow the original plan and take her away first!

“Sorry, but please come with us for a moment!”

After giving a signal to the female journalist who was already prepared, Leon attempted to knock the Jade-eyed Maiden unconscious using a technique he had practiced specifically last night. He struck her neck with the edge of his hand, intending to knock her out and take her away.

However, after being hit with the hand strike, Phelia only let out a cry of pain but didn’t faint. Instead, she covered her neck, turned her head, and said with a confused look:

“You…”

“My hands are a bit rusty.”

After giving Phelia an apologetic look, Leon judged that the method he learned last night for knocking out young men might not be suitable for girls. He slightly adjusted the force and angle and struck her neck again with the edge of his hand.

“Ouch!”

“…”

Why isn’t it working? Is this kid so resistant to being knocked out? Looking at Phelia, whose neck was already red from being hit twice, Leon’s face turned awkward. He then lifted his hand again, applying more force this time.

“Smack!”

With a rather dull striking sound, Phelia’s head visibly dropped after being hit by Leon’s stronger hand strike. Her big watery eyes were already brimming with tears from the pain.

Please, just let me explain something!

I have a signal receiver implanted under the skin at the back of my skull that continuously releases tiny electric currents to stimulate the brain. As long as this thing is active, how could your attack on my nerve plexus possibly work?

And this way of knocking someone out is dangerous, right? You’re a prince too. Can’t you use some kind of spray or reagent instead of such a brutal method to knock me out?”Stop!!”

Just as Phelia was about to lose it, the guards trailing far behind finally realized what was happening. That guy who was supposedly a prince had suddenly gone crazy and started beating Princess Phelia!

“What are you doing?!”

“Let go of the princess!”

However, just as they took off running, Leon’s pocket flower swayed slightly. The previously clean street suddenly sprouted hundreds of thumb-thick vines, tripping all the charging guards.

And their target, Leon, promptly turned around, scattering a large amount of seeds. These rice-sized seeds didn’t even hit the ground before they were magically stimulated into growing into more vines.

These newly appeared vines intertwined with the ones that had already tripped the guards, quickly binding all the fallen guards within the blink of an eye.

After dealing with the guards, Leon didn’t let his guard down. While raising his hand for the fourth time to strike Phelia’s neck, he shouted loudly to the female journalist:

“Five o’clock! Seven o’clock!”

“Got it!”

Before Leon finished speaking, the female journalist had disappeared from her original spot and reappeared fifty steps away across the street. She broke through the building wall with her bare hands, revealing a man moving through the soil inside.

“?!?!”

Seemingly completely caught off guard by being pulled out, the man wearing a diving mask was obviously startled and hurriedly retreated, leaping back into the wall like entering a lake.

However, before he could fully disappear into the wall, two white-glowing palms tore through the thick stone wall as if it were rotten cloth, exposing the diving man again.

Not one single mistake!

“You… Nicole?!?!”

“Long time no see.”

Smiling at the shocked diving man, the female journalist grabbed his right leg, spun around like throwing a hammer, and directly threw him to the side.

The unsuspecting diving man didn’t even have time to scream before he “swam” past two buildings and collided with a middle-aged woman who was closing her eyes.

What the heck?

The curse anomalous item was almost complete, but it was interrupted by the flying man. The middle-aged woman, pinching a handful of straw dolls, got up with a face full of anger.

However, before she could start yelling, a white-glowing palm snatched the straw dolls from her hand and shredded them into pieces in just a few moves.

Following this, the two cleaners who were caught both felt a numbness in their necks, and the world went completely dark before their eyes.

…

Wow, this is the efficiency of a Level 1 Cleaner?

Seeing Nicole, who took less than five seconds to deal with two Gemini Division cleaners, Leon couldn’t help but be amazed and greatly changed his opinion of the female journalist.

Although her brain might be somewhat lacking, Nicole’s skills were truly impressive. He hadn’t even seen what she did clearly, but the two cleaners responsible for protecting Phelia were directly knocked out after a flash of movement.

Considering how much the Aquarius Director values her, apart from those [Incontact Hands], she must have other matching anomalous items that can significantly enhance speed and reaction. In a situation where she is prepared and others are not, I wouldn’t even have a chance to resist and would be taken down directly.

She’s really amazing…

After sighing in admiration, Leon looked at the teary-eyed Phelia, gave up on trying to knock her out with a hand strike, and shouted to the distant female journalist: “Nicole! This kid won’t pass out. Come help me chop her down!”
