45: Chapter 21 Siege!_3 45: Chapter 21 Siege!_3 The nonsensical words had barely left his lips when the young man with the Black Umbrella’s complexion immediately grew cold, “We could have become friends, but since you’re unwilling to speak, I’ll have to take it myself…”

Before he could finish, Li Yelai turned and ran, but Black Umbrella did not pursue him.

Instead, he stiffened and looked around.

At the end of the alley, a person dressed in a panda Doll suit holding a sign had already come up beside Li Yelai.

East City Branch, Processor ‘Doll’

At the other end of the alley, a handsome man armed with a shield and a long halberd suddenly appeared.

East City Branch, Captain of the Fourth Team ‘Moon Shadow’

And above the houses in the alley, a muscular man with his torso bare was looking down at the young man with the Black Umbrella from the edge of the rooftop.

East City Branch, Captain of the Third Team ‘Melting Furnace’

And more seasoned Processors arrived in the vicinity, forming a Circle of encirclement.

They had rushed here immediately after receiving an alert.

And after noticing Li Yelai had led the person into the alley, they had quickly set up the ambush.

The face of the young man with the Black Umbrella turned grave.

He didn’t understand how the Processors had approached without his notice, let alone how Li Yelai had known in advance.

Yet, facing three Spiritual Ability Users who had gone through more than five Awakenings also put pressure on the young man with the Black Umbrella.

“You really are a bastard!” Black Umbrella grinded his teeth looking at Li Yelai hiding behind the Doll.

And Li Yelai didn’t bother with him; he was being teased by the Doll.

The Doll lifted up the sign, where words emerged.

[“Can someone’s luck really be this bad?

You step out the door and bump into an enemy!

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ]

[“If you go to another Giant City on a business trip, might you not bump into the King of the Forbidden Zone?

Wow!

Then we could attempt a siege!

ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ”]

Li Yelai wasn’t sure if encountering Black Umbrella was his Calamity.

He could only nod and say, “Occasionally, occasionally…”

[“Okay, okay, we’ll talk more later, close your eyes.”]

Afterward, Doll stopped teasing him and turned to look at Black Umbrella.

Then, all three Captain Level powerful Processors made their move at once!

Moon Shadow plunged his long sword into his shield, and then he fiercely pulled out the sword which shockingly had dense arcs of electricity flickering on it.

He slashed toward Black Umbrella from afar!

In that instant, lightning exploded on the ground directly aiming for the young man with the Black Umbrella!

Meanwhile, Melting Furnace leapt down from the rooftop.

He reached out with his right hand, and behind him, a menacingly huge phantom of a Dragon Claw appeared, the gigantic Mimetic Dragon Claw reaching toward Black Umbrella.

As for Doll, she had taken off her panda costume head.

She revealed a stunningly beautiful face that took your breath away, yet with her ponytail, her demeanor was lively and handsome.

She looked at Black Umbrella with a smile.

With an expression that said, ‘Kid, look me in the eyes!’

However, when Black Umbrella subconsciously looked at Doll, he saw not a beautiful girl but something terribly frightening.

He let out a horrified howl, his intended resistance thereby thrown into disarray.

As a result, he was simultaneously struck by Moon Shadow’s Thunder and Melting Furnace’s Mimetic Dragon Claw.

Li Yelai was oddly looking at Doll; from his perspective, as soon as Doll had removed her headpiece, Black Umbrella acted as if he had seen a ghost, entering that terrified state.

Out of curiosity, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did you use some kind of ability?

What kind of ability is it?”

Doll was startled, turning her head dumbly towards Li Yelai.

“Did I…

say something wrong?” Li Yelai tentatively asked.

But then he saw the beautiful girl’s eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
