Chapter 174: Taking the Empress

The three old men rapidly approached the location of the empress as fast as the possibly could.

Although she wasnt actively destroying anything, they couldnt say for certain whether she would inevitably decide to suddenly start destroying things if given the chance.

They could only act fast to stop her on time, before it was too late.

In moments, they reached the location of the empress.

They noticed the beautiful who was casually flying through the streets wihtout a care in the world.

The empress glanced in the direction of all three men and furrowed her brows.

’More people?’ She mumbled to herself, as she stretched her long, slender hand.

Instantly, all sorts of elemental skills began coelasing at her finger tips.

The instant the old men saw this, their eyes bulged out as wide as possible.

"How’s it possible?" One of them exclaimed in shock.

Unlike the special officers from before, they were far stronger and could naturally detect the vast skills gathered into such an attack.

Clearly, the recognized this as the attack that had killed the officer from before.

However, then, they had only viewed things through a screen, they didnt think it was terrifying to such an extent.

Now that they were so close to the attack, they could sense more than ten different abilities gathered into just the flower alone.

The men glanced at each other, and noticed the stupefaction in each other’s eyes.

At the same time, all three seemed to come to a simultaneous agreement.

They had to take this woman back to the station. She could be beneficial to them to a great extent. If they could study how she was able to possess so many abilities, perhaps they could replicate it.

All three harbored different reasons for wanting to take the empress back to the headquarters with them, but one thing was clear. They were all of the same mindset.

But first... they had to deal with the empress’ attack.

If they couldnt survive just that, then how could they dare dream of taking her away?

The empress flicked her finger, sending the flower in their direction.

The size was more than twice the size of the previous one. And it contained an even more terrifying might.

The moment the object flew, the men were horrified to realise the terror of the attack.

For a moment, they felt as though they might lose their lives at any moment.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl when suddenly, a figure came into the scene like a gentle breeze.

The figure lightly tapped the flower petal with his index finger, causing it to disintegrate rapidly before it could reach the men.

Then, the figure who had a black mask over his face, wrapped his strong arms around the empress’ slender waist.

The empress was about to resist, and attack furiously, when the familiar scent entered into her nose.

She could instinctively tell this was the man who had saved her, despite the fact that he had a mask placed over his face.

She frowned a little, clearly not liking the fact that the man had touched her inappropriately.

But recalling how he had easily destroyed her attack, she realised that she couldnt harm him in the slightest.

The man took a step forward and vanished from the scene with her, leaving the dumbfounded crowd.

The young man in the helicopter had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

"Wha... what happened? Where’s the awakened? Did you capture it?" his boss quickly urged, his tone filled with curiousity.

"I..." the boy tried to speak, but he couldnt find the words to reply.

Even he could hardly understand what had happened.

All he recalled was he had seen a second person together with the woman for a second before she had vanished completely.

He quickly checked the recording, but soon a frown formed on his face.

In the recording, his surroundings distorted drammatically, and he failed to capture anything worthwhile during the instant the empress disappeared.

The youth didnt know why, but he felt that the figure that had arrived, had likely done something to the recording, making it appear distorted.

The cloud of smoke ahead cleared, revealing the three man who had a dishevelled expression.

They had almost died just now, if it wasnt for the mysterious figure.

All three exchanged glances, but it was clear that none of them knew who that figure was.

"What’s happening to this world?" One of them muttered faintly.

There was the case of a missing girl. And now there’s this?

A crisis seemed to be blooming in the background, and they were helpless on how to stop it.

They glanced at each other one final time before shaking their head.

...

More than tens of kilometers away, atop a sky scrapper building, I appeared with the empress.

Slowly, I let go of her slender waist, as her barefoot touched the ceramic. Recalling the feeling of the empress waist I couldnt help but be impressed.

It was soft, lean and tender. It was unlike anything I had held before. It was simply perfect, as though my hand perfectly belonged there.

"What were you doing?" I asked curiously, shrugging the thought off.

The empress was now my woman. Its as only a matter of time before she regained herself and became mine completely.

"i was looking for you." The empress tone was cold, but one could sense the warmness underneath the words.

Hearing the empress reply, I was slightly taken aback. Then I smiled.

"Did you miss me already?" I asked.

The corner of angelica’s lips twitched and she didnt say anything.

She changed the topic after she noticed the silence was becoming somewhat awkward.

"Where do you want to take me now? I seem to have attracted some trouble for you."

The empress could tell that the men from before would be on the look out for her.

Although they were weak, and it was something her and I could easily deal with.

She could deduce that the troubles would be endless. And so would the disturbance.

She felt she should have been more discrete with her actions. But how could she know that the world had improved so much?

Angelica pouted.

"It’s nothing. I’ll handle it." I replied, struggling and I noticed the empress’ shoulders relaxed at my reassuring words.

I pondered on where the empress would stay over the next few days.

The armed forces were on Olivia’s neck, so it would be impossible sending her there.

She could come to my home, but Jane who was a phone addict would recognise her almost immediately.

’This is quite troublesome...’ I ran my hand through my long black hair, as I continued thinking.

Angelica noticed the look of deep thought on my face.

Choosing to give me some space to myself, she walked over to the edge of the building and sat, her legs dangling from the top.

She glanced down and realised just how far up they were from the ground. humans appeared like ants from below.

’Did they abandon the awakened path and decided to focus on construction?’ She muttered to herself, not expecting humanity to take a turn in this direction.

While the empress was silently comparing the current era to her time, I eventually arrived at a decision.

Linda...

How could I have forgotten about her?

With that in mind I took out my phone and dialed her number.
