Chapter 391 - 193: Fleeing in Panic
Su Jiameng’s worry about being torn apart wasn’t completely without basis. The surviving members of Augustus’s team were eager to corner her and forcefully take her down. Especially after getting the final battle details from their deceased comrades, their desire grew even stronger. With someone like Su Jiameng who knows no limits, people shouldn’t be so shameless!
To win... she even used such a vicious move as a low blow, behaving like a shrew. Sigh, whether they knew her or not, people couldn’t help but lament the little integrity Su Jiameng had left.
Although Gu Ningxun was quite enthusiastic with his sarcasm, he still kept a wooden face and nodded seriously, saying, "No problem. After Miss Su exits the competition area, she should log off for a while, and come back online after half an hour..."
Su Jiameng wanted to give him a pat on the shoulder to show her appreciation for his understanding. Unfortunately, as she lifted her hand, she accidentally aggravated her internal injuries, causing her to grimace in pain, almost howling like a cat.
Seeing the rarely lively Su Jiameng, Gu Ningxuan’s lips curled into a fleeting smile, and even his black eyes sparkled like stars. The space distorted for two or three seconds, and Su Jiameng and Gu Ningxuan were transported out of the competition area.
While someone was on lookout, Su Jiameng decisively applied for virtual network treatment. Before she could savor the joy of being "healed," she heard chaotic footsteps approaching. She told Gu Ningxuan, "It’s up to you now!"
Gu Ningxuan’s gaze landed on the shoulder she had patted, and someone had already logged off and escaped. Seeing the group of furious people, he slightly toned down his outward warmth and asked coldly, "What do you mean by this stance? Trying to settle accounts privately?"
"This is none of your business, is it?" The leader of the group was one of Augustus’s nine vice-captains, a pretty influential guy, but a bit impulsive and prone to anger. "First, tell me where that woman went?"
"Logged off," Gu Ningxuan replied truthfully, leaving the other momentarily speechless with his blunt answer. He continued, "But Miss Su will be back online in half an hour. If you’re not afraid of dying, you can wait here to ambush her."
Gu Ningxuan knew very well how fierce Su Jiameng’s combat power was, having witnessed and "suffered" from it himself.
Even if this group attacked together, they might not be able to corner someone as cunning as her, let alone beat her to death. Instead... once half an hour passes, and she’s rejuvenated, who will be chasing whom will be a big question!
Their opponent was infuriated by Gu Ningxuan’s "fearless of repercussions" attitude, but the thought of a group of adults hunting down a young girl seemed ridiculous. If things got out of hand, nobody would blame Su Jiameng; people would say they couldn’t take a loss... Just thinking about it made the lead vice-captain’s face look even worse.
After a long while, the vice-captain ground his teeth and said, "Don’t get cocky. Even if we can’t trouble her now, isn’t there still that challenge post? When the time for the challenge comes, we’ll see if she can still hide! Where else can she go!"
Gu Ningxuan remained silent. A challenge post showdown? Su Jiameng certainly wouldn’t flee, as she’s still hoping to extract credit points from those unfortunate practice dummies— the more challengers, the better. She wouldn’t turn away credit points coming her way.
However... after such a brutal melee like this, surely Miss Su wouldn’t accept any more melee challenge requests, right?
After all, the team from Xilena First Affiliated School only promised to help once. If there are more challenges in the future, Miss Su might have to worry about participant issues. Gu Ningxuan, retaining his stern demeanor, sent the Augustus troublemakers away with a few words. Just as he was about to log off and rest, he found himself blocked...
"Is there something you need?" Gu Ningxuan asked coldly. Although few contestants from Xilena First Affiliated School survived, the gathering was quite impressive. "Mr. Qin, could you explain this?"
"Where’s Xiao Meng?" K3 stretched his neck to look around Gu Ningxuan but didn’t see the familiar figure, slightly puzzled. "I remember Xiao Meng was with you at the end, shouldn’t she have been teleported out of the competition area with you?"
