Chapter 146: Disappearance

Evans did not expect his two followers, or rather, his two Believers, to fall asleep so easily, and no matter how he pushed them, they would not wake up.

He felt a chill on his back; he should have used a Disguise when he came to the Royal Capital.

Kali Suer had a big mouth; he must have talked about seeing him, and since there were so many people at the venue at the time, it was possible others had seen him too.

Listening to the knocking on the door outside, Evans sighed; what was meant to come would come, and as for those two Believers of the gods... if he wasn't there, they should be able to find a way to handle it, right?

Thinking of this, he left a note, tucked it under Ye Laoshi's body, then opened the bedroom window and jumped straight out.

Upon hearing the movement of the window opening, the entire street instantly dimmed, and the whole world seemed to lose its sound.

Evans also felt as if he had lost his hearing; he couldn't even hear the sound of his own vigorous heartbeat.

Sure enough, it was an old rival.

Evans gave a bitter smile; he knew that the other party was also in a state where they couldn't hear sound, and then he slowly began to hide into the dark environment.

If he wanted to run, this was the only way; otherwise, if he were dragged back... he didn't even dare to imagine it.

Just as he calmly chose to blend into the darkness, preparing to escape through the dark alley, a drop of water landed on the bridge of his nose.

That icy touch made his head feel much clearer in an instant.

Raising his head, right above him, a guy wearing a Cloak was looking down at him from a high vantage point.

That is...

Evans instantly retreated a few steps, then thought in his head about how to escape.

He suddenly thought of something, then climbed into a window to the side and locked it behind him.

The other party definitely wouldn't force their way in; that was why they had knocked on the door.

But he was different; he was a thief, and slipping through doors and picking locks was simply a piece of cake for him.

However, after entering the room, he also felt that something was wrong; there was still no sound in the room, which was different from what he had in mind.

Soon, he saw a silhouette; someone had pushed open the room door.

Damn it, could it be that the other party had already bought or rented the house next door?

Damn it, why hadn't he thought of that earlier? He had thought that just running away would be enough; didn't they inquire about his affairs in Tana City?

The black shadow slowly approached Evans; fortunately, the other party could not block Evans's vision, and he soon realized something and climbed out of the window again.

There were at most two people coming to catch him; they couldn't keep an eye on him forever, especially in a situation where they couldn't hear his sound.

He jumped out immediately, then ran along the eaves; a thief's body was more agile than those two guys, so by the time the other party pushed the door open and walked out, he had already run to the next street.

Only, he felt the mist on his hands once again.

Damn it, that guy was still nearby.

Evans jumped away quickly, feeling very aggrieved; just how many people were trying to catch him... he really couldn't understand; for a small fry like him, there was absolutely no need to go to this extent.

For so many years, that side had never contacted him, and he was hiding at the Saina Family, usually not coming back; could it be...

He calmed down and then raised both hands; he knew very well that when facing two Night Walkers, he had no chance of winning at all.

Soon, sounds appeared in the surroundings; from the few bird calls in the night to the slight sound of the wind, and the sound of a cat stepping on roof tiles, all reappeared.

There were even some late-night people whispering in their rooms, and Evans finally heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

"Mr. Brown, we meet again. Welcome back to the Royal Capital." The person speaking had a cold voice. "Your father very much hopes to see you again. We apologize for using this method..."

"If he really wanted to see me, he would write me a letter. If something really happened to me, Miss Saina would write to her grandfather," Evans said indifferently. "Unless you have the ability to make Miss Saina shut up, otherwise she comes to the Royal Capital once every year."

"Even so, she doesn't know that you are her uncle, does she?" The person speaking took off their hood; sure enough, it wasn't one person who appeared, but three.

No wonder Evans felt he couldn't get away; under normal circumstances, a Night Walker's silence range wouldn't be this large.

Evans shook his head. "She is no longer a child; you must not underestimate her. Now she is a red-hot figure in Tana City. Unlike her father, I think she is very likely to become the true master of Tana City."

"Then you are really thinking too simply. Why not come with us? At least we won't be like your father and erase your Awakening Ability." The person speaking had a cold, chilling voice, as if they had been dead for many years.

By the time Luolita logged back on, Ye Laoshi had already finished making breakfast.

She looked around blankly, then asked, "Did Evans go out?"

"He might have been taken away, but he said there would be no danger to his life, and for us to explore on our own and wait for him to return." Ye Laoshi shook his head helplessly. "He left three hundred Shide, saying that if we spent it all and he still hadn't returned, we should just go back."

"This NPC can even do that?" Luolita washed her hands and sat down at the dining table. "So we can act freely? Go straight to other gatherings?"

"No problem, I have already found a clue." As Ye Laoshi said this, he pushed over a newspaper. "It says here that shipwrecked supplies from Sigma are about to be auctioned. It is said to be a shipwreck from three hundred years ago. It says there might be some materials on it. Since Evans is not here, I think we can go take a look."

"Oh right, should we sell the formal wear and such first?"

"Not for now, maybe they will still be useful." After Ye Laoshi finished speaking, he continued to flip through the newspaper. "And this gathering, at the Honest Man Bar, let's go over and take a look tonight."

"No problem." Neither Luolita nor Ye Laoshi were at all worried about Evans's situation; to them, this NPC was originally just an NPC responsible for guidance.

Especially for Luolita, Evans was just a tool character used for the initial quest.

Of course, she didn't forget to log off to report and explain the situation of Evans's disappearance; naturally, this post sank like a stone in the sea, and not many players paid attention to Evans, after all, he wasn't some handsome middle-aged man.

Seeing the post, Chen Zhi's hands began to tremble; it seemed Saina's worries were correct, Evans indeed had enemies in the Royal Capital.

It was just that he didn't know why Evans didn't seem afraid at all.
