I know you are defeated, injured, and barely standing, but you will not get another opportunity like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man paused briefly before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is raining heavily, so the guards above did not hear the clash. Use this moment and apply what I taught you to escape.

Show the Cromwells that you are no pushover!\" the old man shouted, his voice unintentionally rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden yell caused Azrael to halt mid-step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who said that?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough...\" Yami rasped as he forced himself upright. \"Hey Azrael...
