Chapter 237- The Red Pearl Incident (Part 9)

"Huh?"

Isla froze in place as she stared up at the sky, unable to completely wrap her head around what she just witnessed. Arthur, who was about to land on the ground, suddenly vanished from sight as if he was never there.

Everything happened so quickly that she didn't even have time to blink her eyes beforehand. "Arthur?" she called for his name.

However, she naturally had no response. That was when it dawned on her... Arthur had vanished into thin air.

"Arthur!"

Sora snapped out of her daze and looked up. "Where is he...? What happened, Isla?" She asked confusedly. Looking at her friend's expression, she saw a very deep frown, a terrifying one.

Isla looked over her shoulder. 'What happened? Did he get teleported? How? I didn't see anything.' She thought to herself as a thousand questions popped into her mind. She was already aware of the possibility that someone in that building could use teleportation and what just happened instantly reminded her of that eerie detail.

However, what made it terrifying was the fact that it happened so quickly, and at such a crucial moment, when Arthur was about to land and make his escape.

Isla found herself completely lost in that moment. She didn't know what to do: Whether to stick to the plan and run away or go back in to find Arthur.

'Dammit, when we were so close.' She clenched her teeth.

"Isla... Is... Is Arthur going to be ok? What happened?" Sora felt extremely worried as she read all the subtle shifts in her expression.

"He's going to be fine... Don't worry." She patted the girl. 'I can't go back in with the girl in my arms. I have to get her out of here first.'

At the same time, Isla could hear the footsteps of the guards surrounding the building. There was no time to think and Isla had to make her decision at that moment. So, she bit her lip and turned around.

Deep down, she was worried about Arthur as being caught in such a situation was a disaster. However, she knew it would be a bigger disaster if she was also caught. Whether she liked it or not, she had to leave and believe that Arthur would be able to somehow do something, wherever he was at that moment.

But, the difference was... Isla wasn't forced to do that.

'You better come out alive, Arthur. I know you will.'

"Being mischievous even though you don't even understand what situation you are in currently... I must compliment your mental strength."

"Can we get over with compliments? I'm trying to leave this place. But, before that, I need to ask you a question." Then, the smile and playful tone vanished as he Arthur pointed his finger at the man. His expression had turned into that of extreme anger.

"Are you the one that abducted my friend?" He asked coldly.

"..." The man squinted his eyes for a moment as if he was quite surprised by what he was seeing. But, in the end, he closed his eyes and replied.

"Indeed, I am-"

*Swish*

Before he could even finish the sentence, he opened his eyes to Arthur's punch swinging toward his face.

*BOOOOOOM*

Arthur slammed his fist into the chair, blasting it to pieces. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he slowly peeled his hand out of the wood. Looking up, he realized that the man had moved to the side almost instantaneously.

'Fast...' He clenched his teeth.

Meanwhile, the man himself was coldly eyeing Arthur back. He didn't expect the boy to instantly attack like that and if it wasn't for his reaction speed, that attack would've most definitely hit its target.

'Kids or not... They are not an enemy to be underestimated. It seems the rumors are true... They are a bunch of monsters with no limit for their potential.' Reaching that conclusion, the man exhaled a breath as he slowly released the cigar from his hand, letting it drop to the ground before he stomped it with his leather shoe.

"Say... What is your name, kid?"

"Shut the hell up!" Arthur cursed. "The pain you inflicted on those innocent kids. I'm going to pay it back with interest."

Slowly unsheathing his sword, Arthur aimed it at the man. All his anger from the scenes he witnessed came back to him as he channeled his mana.
