Chapter 373 Retreat!

The sudden attack made the guests who came to attend the exchange meeting want to leave as quickly as possible.

At this moment, security personnel gathered from all directions, trying to reassure the panicked guests.

However-

One of the security personnel suddenly opened fire on the guests rushing out of the hall.

This action instantly made the guests lose all confidence in the security of the Snow Palace, and some even began to doubt the entire exchange event.

So, even though the security personnel who fired was quickly killed, the guests present still insisted on leaving.

Next to the corpse, Kanzai, who had just destroyed the antenna, slowly stood up and turned to look at the guests who were rushing towards the courtyard gate.

Due to the communication barriers, he did not inform the security personnel on site about the 'manipulation' issue.

"Let's go."

Erin looked displeased.

Her good mood for the evening had completely vanished at this moment, and she naturally didn't want to stay here any longer.

Harvey and Kanzai served as bodyguards and closely escorted Erin away.

In the shadows.

Shalnark watched Kanzai's departing figure.

'A bodyguard, huh... quite strong. Just go as far away as you can.'

Putting away his bat phone, he muttered to himself, 'After all, less trouble is better than more trouble.'

Even though one of his antennas was destroyed by Kanzai, Shalnark wouldn't forcefully detain a strong obstacle over such a small matter.

After watching Kanzai leave, Shalnark turned and headed back towards the Snow Palace.

Most of the guests had brought two bodyguards with them, and as they left, the difficulty of the Phantom Troupe's operation this time would be significantly reduced.

Shalnark sincerely hoped that Kanzai would leave the Snow Palace directly.

However, Shalnark failed to realize one problem.

Among his companions, there was someone who lusted after beauty.

Inside the hall.

As the guests left, security personnel from various areas rushed into the hall.

However, in front of Franklin, no matter how many security personnel there were in the Snow Palace, they couldn't withstand Franklin's single-hand machine gun.

But Koko didn't care about any of that.

The attackers had already come to their door, and as the organizer of this exchange event, how could she just let them go?

Moses glanced at the security personnel who had gathered, shook his head imperceptibly, then looked at his companions beside him and whispered, "Menchi, Biscuit, Shizuku, you guys go first."

"Hmm?"

After hearing Moses's words, Menchi, Biscuit, and Shizuku each had different reactions.

Among the three, only Biscuit quickly thought of Moses's ability to exchange positions with his shadow, and thus guessed Moses's plan.

This A-Class criminal group who attacked this exchange meeting are indeed formidable...

Although she didn't know why the other side harbored strong hostility towards Moses, given the current situation, it was indeed a wise decision for them to leave first.

"Hurry."

Moses urged in a low voice.

Before entering the hall, he had already set up a shadow outside in advance.

Therefore, he can use his [Shadow Shift] ability to leave at any time, thus avoiding the threat from the Phantom Troupe.

Under this premise, it would be best if Biscuit and the others could leave first.

As for staying behind to deal with the entire Phantom Troupe...

What a joke.

Unless the Phantom Troupe went crazy and agreed to a very fair one-on-one duel, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could engage the entire Phantom Troupe in a direct confrontation.

Among the three, Biscuit was the first to respond to Moses's words, signaling Shizuku and Menchi to follow her and leave.

On the stairs.

"Trying to escape?"

Feitan narrowed his eyes.

After cutting off the power, they refrained from attacking to avoid damaging the antiques.

After their appearance, they didn't take further substantial actions to allow outsiders to leave the scene.

But this 'outsider' does not include Moses.

Feitan noticed that Moses was showing signs of retreating, and he immediately took action without hesitation.

Swoosh—

His figure vanished on the spot. He transformed into a fleeting black shadow, and attacked Moses with lightning speed.

Moses's eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his right hand forward.

However, just as he made this move, Feitan, who was attacking at lightning speed, suddenly moved away.

"Hmm?"

Moses instantly realized that the opponent had already 'shared' information about his abilities, so he consciously tried to avoid the black sword that was about to be conjured.

In this gap, Feitan dodged and moved around Moses's right hand that was about to conjure the black sword, and then appeared on his left side.

Then, Feitan unsheathed the sword in his hand!

However, before Feitan could swing his sword at Moses, a slender and delicate little foot hit Feitan's sword-holding arm heavily.

Those are Biscuit's feet.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, a jellyfish-shaped wave of air exploded on Feitan's arm.

The considerable impact force directly caused Feitan's short body to fly backwards.

"Tsk…"

Feitan stabilized himself mid-air, then landed on the ground, sliding backwards for several meters before coming to a stop.

He looked at Biscuit with some surprise.

In his judgment, the Aura of this little girl with a golden ponytail was not strong.

However, the intercepting attack she had just performed showcased her extensive combat experience, which seemed far beyond what a young girl should possess.

The members of the Phantom Troupe on the stairs also noticed this.

For once, they didn't mock Feitan, but instead looked at Biscuit with surprise, knowing that one cannot judge a person by their appearance.

To be honest…

They felt a slight sense of incongruity.

Feitan was kicked back by Biscuit, and Menchi and Shizuku finally reacted at this time.

"I didn't see it clearly…"

"Such speed."

Their expressions were both solemn.

Biscuit's timely intervention saved Moses the energy for a [Shadow Shift], but also cost him a chance to counterattack.

But overall, it is still acceptable.

Moses calmly watched Feitan steady himself after landing.

Realizing that his 'ability information' had been shared among the enemies, he decided not to hide it. He first conjured a black sword, and then summoned a shadow clone to stand by his side.

"Don't worry about me, just go."

Moses, holding the black sword, shifted his gaze to the members of the Phantom Troupe on the stairs.
