Hu Lei was close to the Arena when she heard the beeping sound from her Bluetooth earbud. She tapped on it because she knew it was Zhong Feng. She had promised him to answer every call during their time on Martial Ind.


    "Hey, darling!" She said yfully.


    She was a little tired from running the distance, but she was notpletely out of breath. Therefore, she could still talk coherently.


    "You sound a little busy." Zhong Feng said with a frown.


    "It''s nothing. I am almost done. Kaito and Akira should have handled everything for us to leave the ind. I am just tying up the loose ends." Hu Lei replied as she reached the entrance of the chaotic Arena.


    "Alright. I am activating the rm for Interpol and the other agencies that jumped the bandwagon. Get out from the Arena immediately. That ce is about to be a warzone." Zhong Feng reminded Hu Lei.


    Hu Lei entered the chaotic Arena and parried the de of an unknown person. She could not believe the state of affairs. She could not have imagined that the simplistic Martial Ind would have turned into the most shocking bloodbath.


    "You have no idea." She muttered.


    "What?" Zhong Feng could hardly hear her over the noise.


    "I will be out in a minute. Do it." Hu Lei shouted.


    After cutting off themunications line, Hu Lei fought with brutal efficiency to reach the centre of the Arena. She knew that Jiang Yinuo would be in the middle of everything. And as expected, she was fightingpetitors with a smile.


    "You arete." Jiang Yinuo said.


    "I took a coffee break." Hu Lei replied sarcastically as she fought the people surrounding Jiang Yinuo.


    "Don''t get smart with me." Jiang Yinuo rolled her eyes.


    "Whatever. We need to go. Now." Hu Lei did not continue bantering.


    Jiang Yinuo nodded. Like twins from a warrior nation, the twodies lifted their swords and exploded with power. Unlike before, they were not simply responding to attacks. They were assault weapons. With shes, they carved a path out of the Arena, leaving everyone bloody and without an option to stop them.


    As soon as they were outside, Hu Lei pulled Jiang Yinuo to a dark corner of the solid security. She pulled out a ck motorcycle from the shadows and hopped on it. She beckoned for Jiang Yinuo to get on with impatience.


    "Are you telling me that you found a motorcycle randomly for our escape?" Jiang Yinuo asked as she hopped on.


    "Don''t be silly. This is not a movie. I organized for a motorcycle to be ced here for our escape." Hu Lei replied. "Now, hold on tight."


    With that, the motorbike roared to life and shot off like a bullet.


    As the twodies escaped from the Arena, new sounds filled the night air as the Interpol agents who were ''invited'' by Taiki to the Triennial Championships made an appearance from the shadows. Immediately, the Arena became a greater bloodbath.


    The people from Martial Ind were confused and overwhelmed by the turn in events. They did not know how to react because the past attempts at taking down the ind had nevere so far. They had always been protected from the outside world.


    Unfortunately, they did not know that the people who had always protected them and stood between Martial Ind and the internationalw were dead. Hu Lei had eliminated the obstacles preventing exposure over the previous five months.


    As for the guests from the outside world, they were grasping for excuses. They wanted to im that they did not know about the intricacies of Martial Ind. Rather, they were tricked intoing to the ind for an exclusive event.


    Unfortunately, the Interpol agents were under strict instructions to apprehend everyone on the scene without consideration for identity. And with the help of Taiki and his special followers who were on the other side, the Interpol agents did not have a hard time.


    But it could be said that Taiki became the instant public enemy number one as soon as his role in the entire matter was revealed.


    Hu Lei did not care about the disaster behind them. Her only goal was to take Yinuo and herself from the scene of the disaster as soon as possible. She did not theplications that woulde from getting caught on the scene.


    "We seem to be going to the Northern shore." Jiang Yinuo shouted.


    Hu Lei could not help her subtle stiffening. She did not have a problem with lies, but she was notfortable with the dishonesty nned by Yuan Haoran.


    "Yeah. We are getting on the ship there." Hu Lei said.


    Jiang Yinuo felt a wave of cold fear flooding her heart. She had expected that Yuan Haoran was plotting something, but she did not think that it would be something so decisive and cruel. And she could only call him cruel.


    "Where is he?" Jiang Yinuo asked with a shaky voice.


    Hu Lei slowed the motorcycle a little because she was afraid of Jiang Yinuo behaving irrationally.


    "I do not know. The only thing he told me was that I should take you with us when we are leaving the ind." Hu Lei responded honestly.


    "Is he nning on doing it alone?" Jiang Yinuo tightened her arms around Hu Lei.


    Hu Lei was silent for a moment. She thought about the situation. She did not know the specifics of what Yuan Haoran was doing, but he wanted to keep Jiang Yinuo out of it. And she was sure that he did not n on returning alive.


    After a moment, she made her decision. She wondered if her thoughts on the situation were wrong before dismissing her apprehensions. She had the right to make her decision.


    "Yes. Based on what he said, he probably does intend to go to the secondary ind alone." Hu Lei finally said.


    "That idiot!" Jiang Yinuo shouted. "Take me to the Eastern shoreline. I will find him from there."


    "Are you sure?" Hu Lei asked.


    "What would you do in my position?"


    Without another word, Hu Lei set off to the Eastern side.
