Suspicion

"I… really don't know!" Ryan said with a long face.

He's telling the truth! Fang Yuan secretly transmitted to Heinze. As a Dream Master, he could easily tell if someone was lying from the most minute expressions or movements.

"Then we have more reason to be wary. It means that we've already paid a terrible price somewhere, just that we aren't yet aware of it!"

Heinze gestured with his eyes to Fang Yuan. "Let's go back!"

The group took the loot and the charred corpse and left the house. A thick mist appeared.

"Get ready… We're going to mass teleport back to the branch!"

Heinze snapped his fingers.

Bang!

A pillar of light suddenly hit him from the sky. He flew backward and smashed into the apartment building, buried under a pile of bricks.

Whoosh whoosh!

In midair, shadows in black robes appeared. They looked like giant bats and kept diving toward them.
