Chapter 129 Old Jack’s Dilemma
Langay Street, in front of Old Jack’s Shop.
Seeing Marion's figure disappear on the roof, Old Jack could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"Uncle Jack!"
Seeing that the person fighting Old Jack had left, Ashley quickly opened the door and ran to Old Jack.
Seeing Old Jack who was seriously injured, as if he had been fished out of blood, Ashley desperately held back tears and took out her handkerchief to bandage Old Jack's wound.
This is the first time Ashley has seen the cruelty of the extraordinary world since she received the teachings of Old Jack and mastered extraordinary power.
The weak will never have any room to resist in front of the strong!
Old Jack exhaled heavily and waved his hand to stop Ashley's efforts.
He knew how serious his injury was, and it was not something that a small handkerchief could solve.
But Old Jack didn't bother to deal with his injuries first. There were still many dangers waiting for Old Jack.
It's not that you're worried about Marion turning around and coming back. Old Jack knows that the best way to stay away from this madman is to make him have no interest in you.
The vampire just now was probably happy with his revenge, so Old Jack didn't have to worry about the threat from Marion for a short time.
But what's more important now is that Old Jack has almost lost all his ability to protect himself!
His trump card has been exhausted in the battle with Marion. Otherwise, with his strength as a gold-level junior assassin, how could he have lasted in Marion's hands for so long.
In addition to Marion's attack, many of Old Jack's serious injuries were the sequelae of his use of forbidden techniques.
Old Jack, who was in the gray area, knew that once the hyenas hiding in the dark knew that he was so weak, they would definitely pounce on him and eat him clean.
As for those so-called friends, they were just connected with interests. They were usually afraid of Old Jack's gold-level strength and looked respectful, but in private, he knew quite well what they were like.
After all, old Jack was once like that.
Therefore, although Old Jack has arranged a secret stronghold and escape route for himself, it is not foolproof.
As long as these people find that Old Jack is seriously injured, they will definitely bite him, and Old Jack cannot ensure that he will not be discovered while he is recovering from his injuries.
It would be fine if old Jack was still alone. At worst, he would die with those people, but that was not possible now.
He has already accepted Ashley as his disciple, and there is no way he will leave Ashley alone.
That's it, people, after you have someone you care about, you will become much weaker!
Old Jack was like this. After a moment of thinking in his mind, he suddenly discovered that the only one who could help him get out of his predicament now seemed to be that one person.
"Help me up, Ashley."
Now that he had made up his mind, Old Jack no longer hesitated.
Hearing this, Ashley grabbed Old Jack's arm and lifted him up from the ground, letting Old Jack lean on her.
Fortunately, Ashley has been promoted to a junior professional, otherwise her young body may not be able to support old Jack.
Old Jack let Ashley help him into the store, and put some valuable items and cabinets containing gold coins and information into the storage ring.
As for other things, Old Jack no longer cares about packing them away.
Holding Ashley's little hand tightly, Old Jack used his last strength.
Assassin's high-level skill [Shadow Jump]!
Old Jack and Ashley's bodies seemed to be wrapped in a dark gray shadow, disappearing in place.
After a while, a figure appeared in Old Jack's shop. It was the paladin Oriel who came straight from the roof.
Frowning as he looked at the messy shop and the roof with a big hole in it, he could indeed feel the residual blood of the vampire at the scene.
Oliel searched carefully and found nothing useful except that he determined that the scene should be a black shop.
The vampire did not stay at the scene, and the person he fought with should have left early. This person was probably the owner of this store.
The boss was probably seriously injured, but judging from the blood stains left at the scene, he was probably a human rather than a vampire.
Isn't he hunting vampires? Why did you start attacking humans?
Oriel looked a little solemn. He might be able to ignore vampires killing each other, but he would never do it to humans!
While Oriel continued to investigate, guard captain Todd "finally" arrived at the scene.
"Sir Olier, I rushed over as soon as I received the news. Did the vampire still escape?"
——
Bright City's upper town, Face Street.
The shadows in the corner squirmed, and the figures of old Jack and Ashley appeared under the wall.
"Cough, cough"
As soon as he left the shadow plane, Old Jack covered his mouth with his left hand and couldn't stop coughing, and his sleeves were stained red with blood.
In order to leave as quickly as possible, the seriously injured old Jack had to forcefully use [Shadow Leap], and he also brought a little guy named Ashley with him. He was immediately injured and his face turned pale as if he was about to faint.
"Uncle Jack, are you okay?"
Ashley firmly supported Old Jack's body and asked in a concerned voice.
Ashley has never been here before. Although it is in a deserted alley, the neat streets and tall walls are completely different from Lange Street.
"Ahem. Go this way, to No. 36 Face Street."
Old Jack knew this place very well and had been there many times before.
"knew."
Although it was an unfamiliar environment, Ashley did not panic. She knew that now the only one Jack could rely on was her.
Ashley carefully supported Old Jack as he shuttled through the alleys, deliberately avoiding passing pedestrians.
Just when the little girl's strength was about to run out, No. 36 Face Street finally appeared in front of her.
——
No. 36 Face Street, the Kane family residence.
Li Si did not go to the First Magic Workshop today. Teacher Fran had just returned from a trip with Risa and seemed very tired. He went to rest without even seeing him.
After coming out of the library, Li Si thought for a while, called Welf, and prepared to practice martial arts in the yard.
In fact, Li Si also wanted to try to see if he could trigger a limited challenge mission from Welf and get a reward, but it seemed that it was because the gap in strength between the two was still relatively large, and he didn't see any movement in the system for a long time.
Li Si was a little helpless. It seemed that this limited challenge mission could only be triggered by luck.
After having Welf practice all kinds of weapons with him, Li Si also broke out in a thin sweat.
Just when Li Si was about to take a bath and rest for a while, Groom Bender hurried over and shouted:
"Master!"
"What's wrong?"
Li Si asked a little strangely, why were you in such a hurry? What happened?
"Master, there are two people at the door asking for you. They are covered in blood and they look like they are about to die!"
