Chapter 217: Flashback

"That was...?" He asked, staring at her with a smile.

"Unexpected." She grabbed the collar of his overcoat and pulled him towards her, closing his lips with hers.

Now, Michael was taken aback, well only for a second, before deepening the kiss ingraining her taste in his head, after a minute, the two finally separated to catch their breath.

"I love you, too." She said with a beautiful smile, while Michael blinked in mild surprised; he then pulled her in a tight embrace.

"So... Should we make it publicly known?" He asked.

Erika rested her head on his chest, "I'll go with whatever you choose."

"On second thought, let wait for a while, we have so many enemies. I don't want you, Mira or Maria to be in more danger."

Erika looked up at him: "I was thinking, now that Maria will be able to walk again, what if she joined VRG? She has been asking to join for a while now." She looked up at him.

"Hmm... I was thinking the same with Mira, Ok... We'll start Maria's training after she's fully healed."

Erika slowly nodded, and rested her head on his chest again. 'So this is the feeling Anna talked about.' Erika tightened the hug, almost merging with him, in all her life she hasn't felt this warm.

At the other side of the city, A young man with bandage arm stood in front of his villa staring at the two girls who were limping towards him.

"What happened? And why did you kidnap Maria? Does she look anything like Mira?" He asked with killing intent.

The two girls in white robes collapsed in front of him.

"We are sorry, Master."

"We... We thought taking Maria with us will help our course, we didn't expect to be stopped by those four."

Yan observed the two calmly. "What really happened?"

****

[Hours Ago.]

[Guild War Stadium.]

Four figures stood at a distance staring at Mira and Niki.

"What should we do now? Mira is now with Supreme on the field." One of the heavenly kings muttered in a low voice.

"We can't reveal ourselves..." The leader of the group stared at Niki and Maria with a slight frown. "Robert had called in all the soldiers, we can take these four out, and kidnap Niki."

"But First King, Maria will scream if we attack."

"Then we'll have to take her with us, maybe she'll be useful."

The other three nodded, Upon seeing all the leaders were on the field with Michael, they moved.

"No one is allowed 10 meters from the Miss." Borne stopped the two girls walking towards them, not noticing another two advancing from behind.

"We're just passing." The first king said with a smile.

"Then follow the lower section." Borne pointed out.

"Huh? Who are those two?" The second king asked in mild surprised.

Borne and Deck turned around seeing the two girls who had already knocked out Norman and Dink. Before they could alert the group below, the two behind them struck their heads; knocking them unconscious.

The two girls discreetly walked towards Niki and Maria who were focused on the field, easily knocking them unconscious too.

"Why can't we just kill these bodyguards?" The third whispered.

"We don't have time for that, let's move." The first held Maria's wheelchair and pulled her towards the exit. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The second, picked up the unconscious Niki like picking up a feather pillow, and placed her on her shoulder. "Let's go."

The group quickly exited the place, not knowing they'd been spotted.

The moment they exited the Stadium, They quickly followed an Alley.

"We need to get to the hideout in an hour." The first king stated, increasing her speed. Maria was placed on her shoulder, while the third King held on to her wheelchair.

"Four Gold medal Holders, How nice."

The four came to a stop, staring at the two figures in front of them.

"Prince Chris and Princess Camila?" The first king muttered in mild surprised.

"You know us, how surprising." Camila slowly observed the four.

"We'll make it easier for you four, dropped the two, reveal who sent you, and may...be we'll let you go." Chris added, his hand was tucked away in his pockets. Not even taking the four seriously.

"You all made one mistake." The first king gave an unknown signal with her hand, the three nodded; and leaped into the air, planning on escaping on the roof of the buildings.

BAM!

Their heads collided with an invisible barrier throwing them back to the ground.

"I don't think so."

They turned around seeing Conner and Helena walking towards them.

"We are surrounded." The second calmly placed Niki on the ground.

"The girls are platinum holders, while the boys are gold, we can do this." She placed Maria on the ground, then summoned her sword.

"Oh? You guys also want to be close to Michael?" Chris asked with a smile.

"Isn't that the reason you are here?" Conner asked back.

These two didn't even take the four girls in front of them as enemies to be serious about.

"Kill them!!" The first elder yelled, two attacked Helena and Conner, while the other two attacked Camila and Chris.

Helena: "Leave this to me."

Camila: "I'll handle this."

The two girls summoned their weapons, and charged towards their targets.

Conner: "They're all yours."

Chris: "You have one minute to kill them."

Camila rolled her eyes upon hearing her brother's word, Her Scarf flew from her shoulder and stuck the two unprepared girls, throwing them meters back.

BAM!

The two spurted out a mouthful of blood, staring at the scarf which flew back to Camila, wrapping around her neck in horror.

"Legendary-Class weapon?" The two were stunned.

Helena summoned two golden fans, with one upward swing, An unknown force threw the two girls into the air, they fell heavily on the ground throwing up a mouthful of blood.

"Epic-class weapon?" The two were stunned.

"Why are you two playing with them?" Chris asked with a bored expression.

"Yes, end this quickly." Conner added.

"Ok." The two girls nodded and channel all their Mana into their weapons, getting ready for the final attack.

"First and second kings, We won't be able to survive this. You two should escape, we'll hold them back." The third King whispered.

"Yes, You guys should go." The fourth added.

The two looked at each other and nodded, at that exact moment, the two girls sent their attacks towards the four.

The third king and fourth king stood up and threw themselves towards the attacks.

BOOM!!

A cloud of smoke rose into the air, giving the two an opportunity to escape... When the smoke dispersed, the four stared at the burnt bodies of the two kings, but couldn't find the other two.

"You let them escape." Chris shook his head in disappointment.

"Not me, she... I thought she created a barrier?" Camila pointed at Helena.

"I don't think so, and--"

"--Enough you two, let's take them back to the Stadium." Conner stopped the two girls, who were about to start an argument.

[End of Flashback.]

Yan sighed softly. "You are dismissed." He said.

The two girls nodded and slowly walked inside the villa, leaving him behind.

"I know you were the one who sent them."

"I thought the great Rebecca don't spy on others." Yan looked up at Rebecca who stood on the air above the Villa.

"Calm down, I'm here to give you some good news."

"Oh really? What's it then?"
