The Burly man, the Young Miss, and the guards were startled for a moment or two but they were able to quickly recollect themselves, and act.
They immediately called on the other guards to come and surround the premises, trying to round the runners up and then capture them once again.
At the same time, they approached each other, as they were looking carefully at their surroundings, as the person who was responsible for this had disappeared.
There was no sign of Eric in the surroundings, and this caused them to be even more alert of the situation.
A person who could clearly appear and disappear as he wished, and even be able to make them mistake their allies for enemies was certainly no simple, and easy fellow.
They couldn't and didn't dare to relax at this point. Even though their captives were running away, they couldn't move into action due to their fear.
