n“William and Steele have not been found yet.”

n

n

n

n

nChris was about to rush out to continue looking for them.

n

n

nAfter seeing Chris’s reaction, Vincent said quickly, “Teacher Chris! There’s no need to look for them! They have all been killed by the monsters!”

n

n

nChris stopped suddenly after hearing what Vincent had said.

n

n

nAlthough she had been preparing herself mentally, she still could not accept such a reality.

n

n

n

n

n“Vincent, is that the truth?”

n

n

nVincent nodded his head with certainty.

n

n

n“I saw it with my own eyes.”

n

n

nVincent was not lying.

n

n

n

n

nWilliam was indeed killed by the monster.

n

n

nIf he had to admit it, he only pushed him a little.

n

n

nIt was a gentle push.

n

n

nAs for Steele, although Vincent did not see it happen with his own eyes, he felt like someone had been following him ever since he separated from Angelina and the others.

n

n

nIt was just that the person’s tracking skills were very good so he could not discover him.

n

n

nPlus, it was obvious that Steele did not have any good intentions if he was following him.

n

n

n

n

nAfter he encountered the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex for the first time, he no longer felt like he was being followed.

n

n

nUsing his toes to think, he knew that the tracker was probably killed by the aftershock of his battle with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

n

n

nOf course, this had nothing to do with Vincent.

n

n

nAfter all, when he was up against the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, he was being chased and he did not fight back.

n

n

nChris slapped her forehead.

n

n

nEvery year, teachers and students would die. There had a complete set of measures to deal with something like this.

n

n

nHowever, it was different this time.

n

n

nWilliam was different.

n

n

n

n

nHe was the Prince of the Falcon Kingdom. He was from the royal family. His death would cause a lot of trouble for Quinn.

n

n

nPlus, only S-Class individuals had died so far. It was a great loss to Quinn.

n

n

n“Let’s go back.”

n

n

nChris sighed and pulled Vincent along. They then ran towards Hero City.

n

n

nChris was too fast. She was so fast that Vincent could not even see the surroundings clearly.

n

n

n“Was this the speed of a high-level superpowered person?”

n

n

nVincent was shocked.

n

n

nHe thought that he could fight high-level superpowered people since he was able to fight high-level monsters.

n

n

nAll along he thought that even if he could not win, he would not be defeated.

n

n

nHowever, it seemed like this was not the case at all.

n

n

nHis speed was no match for a high-level superpowered person.

n

n

nNo matter how well he controlled his superpowers, it would be pointless if he could not even hit the target.

n

n

nAlarms were going off in Hero City.

n

n

n

n

nHero City had sophisticated equipment to detect the movements of the monsters as they were guarding the frontline.

n

n

nIn addition to the information provided by Bixby, the news of a Monster Horde arriving was accurate.

n

n

nEveryone in the city had to go to the city wall to perform their duties. They were all in combat mode.

n

n

nAll the spiritual cannons were on standby and were waiting for orders to be fired.

n

n

nApart from the city guards in Hero City, the Rangers, mercenary groups, Quinn’s teachers, and students were all ready to join the battle.

n

n

nThe mercenary groups’ foundation was in Hero City.

n

n

nIf the city was destroyed by the Monster Horde, they would have nothing left.

n

n

nThe city guards were the main force.

n

n

nThe Rangers, Quinn’s teachers, and students all had high-end combat strength.

n

n

nThe Rangers had traveled all over the world. If they did not have strong combat strength as their foundation, they would have died a long time ago.

n

n

nThose who were still alive were definitely not weak and could fight well against monsters.

n

n

nAs for the students and teachers, it was no doubt that they had a great foundation.

n

n

nThey had the best resources for education and cultivation. Their strength could not be compared to ordinary people.

n

n

nOf course, the students who could participate in such a large-scale battle were usually in the third or fourth grade.

n

n

nThe first and second grades were not allowed to participate at all.

n

n

nAfter all, they were the future of Quinn, and also the future of humanity.

n

n

nThey could not be harmed.

n

n

nPlus, they lacked experience in battles. Their presence would not have made a difference anyway.

n

n

nAngelina’s face was filled with anxiety outside the city wall.

n

n

nThe others all had their brows tightly furrowed.

n

n

nOnly madman Chris looked eager to give it a try.

n

n

n“Why aren’t Vincent and Teacher Chris back yet?” asked Angelina.

n

n

nAngelina could not help herself.

n

n

nBixby’s face was solemn as he stared at the Monster Horde approaching them. He then said in a deep voice, “They will come back. Everyone will come back safely.”

n

n

nAlthough Bixby tried to reassure Angelina, he himself did not have any confidence in the situation.

n

n

nAfter all, it had been so long. No one could give an accurate answer as to whether they would return or not.

n

n

nAngelina listened to Bixby who sounded like he had no confidence at all. Tears started to flow down her face.

n

n

nAt that moment, she realized how weak she truly was.

n

n

nShe was so weak that she could only wait in the city wall anxiously.

n

n

nShe prayed in secret. If Vincent returned to her safely, she would definitely train hard and seriously.

n

n

nAt the same time, there was a figure approaching them. The figure was much faster than the Monster Horde.

n

n

n“It’s Teacher Chris and Vincent!” shouted Nyssa. She was surprised to see them.

n

n

n“Open the city gates! It’s Teacher Chris!” shouted Bixby. He was instructing the City Guard General.

n

n

nThe City Guard General was about to give the order to open the city gates when he saw Chris suddenly squat down. She then jumped upwards.

n

n

nWith a bang, Chris was sent flying.

n

n

nAfter a few relays on the city wall, she flipped over and stood beside Bixby.

n

n

nShe was hugging Vincent in her arms. Vincent had a dead look on his face.

n

n

nOriginally, Chris was running whilst pulling him.

n

n

nHowever, Chris felt that this method was too slow. They might not even arrive at Hero City before the Monster Horde.

n

n

nShe quickly carried Vincent like how a prince would carry his princess.

n

n

nTheir speed increased. However, Vincent felt like he had disgraced himself.

n

n

n“Vincent!”

n

n

nAngelina pounced on Vincent the moment she saw him.

n

n

nThe others looked at Vincent and Chris in confusion. Their eyes moving back and forth between the two.

n

n

nVincent coughed lightly and climbed down from Chris’s arms.

n

n

nAlthough Chris’s breasts were very soft and comfortable, he could not stay there forever.

n

n

nHe already lost face. He could not lose his reputation and be labeled as a pervert too.

n

n

nThose who were familiar with Chris’s personality looked at her in disbelief.

n

n

nVincent was the first person to have ever gotten so close to Chris.

n

n

nIt was so close that it felt surreal.

n

n

n“Vincent, are you alright?”

n

n

nAngelina hugged Vincent. Her face was full of worry.

n

n

n“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

n

n

nVincent felt a warmth in his heart when Angelina cared for him.

n

n

nAlthough this was not the first time someone had cared for him, he had not been properly cared for since he was young. He had always remembered every single person who cared for him.

n

n

nAvril wanted to give Vincent a hug.

n

n

nHowever, she stopped herself when she saw Angelina throw herself into Vincent’s arms.

n

n

nHer heart was confused. She did not know what to feel.

n

n

nBixby coughed lightly and looked at Chris.

n

n

nChris nodded her head sadly.

n

n

nBixby sighed slightly.

n

n

nAlthough he could already guess it from the moment he saw Vincent and Chris, he still felt uncomfortable after knowing the actual truth.

n

n

nChris took a deep breath and turned to look at the crowd.

n

n

n“Students, I have bad news for everyone.”

n

n

n“William, Mouse, and Steele have all been killed by the monsters.”

n

n

nEveryone fell silent after hearing Chris’s announcement.

n

n

nEveryone understood the logic behind her words. In a battle with a monster, death and injury were inevitable.

n

n

nHowever, they still felt bad after hearing the news.

n

n

nEven though they hated William, they were not very familiar with him.

n

n

n“Soldiers! The monsters are coming! Hero City is the first barrier of Blazing City. We swear that we will not let these bastards pass!”

n

n

nThe general of the city guards held a spiritual gun in his left hand and a spiritual sword in his right hand as he shouted.

n

n

n“Our wives, our children, our parents, and the future of humanity all live in Blazing City! We have no choice.”

n

n

n“We can only fight to the death! Let these animals see that we humans are invincible!”

n

n

n“Fight to the death! Fight to the death!”

n

n

nThe soldiers of Hero City roared at the top of their lungs. It was as if they had been injected with stimulants.

n

n

nThe noise was deafening!
