    “Your majesty, wee,” Grey wolf and the other team members greeted a dozen card semi-demigods as they walked out of their respective teleportation array formation.


    “Don’t stand on ceremony, we can get to know each other once weplete the mission,” The semi-demigod in charge said with a warm amiable simple but hearing him, the expressions on the face of Gray wolf and his teammate could not help change. This slight change did not escape the watchful gaze of the lead semi-demigod. Understanding that his fellow juniors had misunderstood his words, he wanted to clear himself but a thundering shout originating from the city stopped him in his tracks,


    “HOW DARE YOU!!!”


    The dozens of semi-demigods, Gray Fur, and the team focused on the sun blossom city, specifically where the Circle’s branch headquarters was located as that was where the shout originated from. To their surprise, the three semi-demigods from the circle who did not n to show themselves suddenly rushed to the frontlines aiming for the boy.


    “What happened?” Gray fur asked his team members.


    Codename sniper who had the best vision among the team and kept attention on the battlefield, immediately answered, “The boy has killed the Circle’s branch leader Mike, angering their semi-demigods into taking action.”


    “So, what do we do now? Follow the previous n or the new one?” Codename flower thief asked, even though the roles he and his team yed in both the ns were pretty much the same: to assassinate the boy. Except in the first n they need to time the assassination of the boy such that they could frame the circle for the boy’s death. So he needs to be clear on the part they need to y in the boy’s death.


    “Let’s wait and watch,” the semi-demigod in charge said. As his gaze focused on the 103 clones of the boys that were escaping in various directions.


    “No, the boy is very slippery. I think we should take this opportunity to assassinate the boy. Please don’t take offense but I speak from experience,” Only a flower thief who was pampered by the VIP privilege of the organization could say such a thing to the semi-demigod in charge. As for the rest of the team, they held their breath in, hoping that if they don’t breathe the semi-demigod would forget that they existed.


    Hearing the flower thief’s words opposing his direct orders the Semi-demigod in charge did not get show dissatisfaction, maintaining his amiable smile the Semi-demigod in charge responded, “You must be codename flower thief, I know that you have the best interest in your mind but we can no longer implement first or the second n because the circumstances at present are totally different. And don’t you think you are underestimating the power of the semi-demigods?”


    Hearing the Semi-demigod in charge’s argument the flower thief could only reluctantly nod and take a step back. While the Semi-demigod in charge and the rest turned their attention back to the battlefield.


    “The boy has thought of a good strategy to escape but he will have to do a lot better than B-rank clones if he ns to trick the eyes of the semi-demigods,” one of the paw n’s semi-demigodsmented looking at the 103 clones of the boy that scattered around to throw their purser off the originals trail.


    “I don’t know, those three clones out of the crowd of boy’s clones seem too livid for them to be clones of the boy. Even I am having a hard time differentiating between them and judging which one of them is the real deal. It would be best if the circle’s three demigods hunt each of the three clones,” said the other card semi-demigod.


    “It seems the Circle’s semi-demigods have the same idea,” The Semi-demigod in charge replied seeing how the circle’s demigods decisively went after the three clones instead of fighting their opponents.


    “Great, it seems our work will be done without us getting involved,” the semi-demigod cheered, seeing that the allied semi-demigods were unable to catch up to the circle’s demigod before all three of the boy’s clones were captured by them.


    “Yes, but the tough part is yet toe, how do they n to escape after capturing the boy still eludes me,” the Semi demigod in charge thought ahead and saw that escaping the city would prove more difficult than capturing the boy.


    As the Semi-demigod in charge expected the circle’s semi-demigods faced a challenge while trying to escape as their opponents no longer held back and started to attack them unscrupulously.


    “Something is fishy, shouldn’t the southern emperor have made use of the array covering the southern region to deal with them?” The flower thief asked knowing that the southern royal family and southern emperor were very protective of the boy.


    “You are right, but things would be different if they have these cards,” the Semi-demigod in charge shared the information of the card he spoke of with gray fur and team.


    “This, how can the southern royal family allow such cards to exist?” Gray Fur voiced his concern in disbelief after going through the card information shared by the Semi-demigod in charge.


    “They had to, otherwise the government would never allow such an array formation to exist in the first ce. Even though the ancestors of the unparalleled bloodline were among the founding members of the government, this was something all four of the royal families agreed on. This is just one of the fewpromises the royal families made to assure the government that they will not dere theirplete and independent sovereignty on their individual regions,” The Semi-demigod in charge exined that even though the royal families were rulers of their individual regions they were still a part of the government, hearing him Gary fur and the team finally knew how these semi-demigods were hiding their presence from the array formation covering the entire southern region.


    “No wonder, even after so many centuries neither of the four royal families has ever tried to pull something funny like overthrowing the current government or invading each other,” The members of the paw n continued to watch as the circle’s semi-demigods made use of agility and defense cards to escape the wild attack of the allied semi-demigods. Even though the circle’s semi-demigods only made evasion their main priority and tried their best not to engage their attackers, it was proving very difficult for them to throw their pursuers off their trail.


    “I don’t think they can make a sessful retreat if this continues,” the Semi-demigod in charge spoke seeing how the circle’s demigods and the allied semi-demigods ran in a process.


    “Didn’t they prepare a hidden teleportation array or something beforehand?” Flower thief asked and added, “I bet the semi-demigods protecting kid will not dare to destroy the teleportation array in mid teleportation worrying about the safety of the boy captured by their opponents.”


    “That is a possibility, but if the hidden teleportation array gets destroyed before they even make it to it, then they are stuck here forever,” answered another semi-demigod.


    “Now this has pretty much be a cat-and-mouse chase, that is until the allied forces’ reinforcements arrived. Then it is game over for the Circle,” One of the semi-demigodsmented.


    The members of the paw n forgot their mission and began to spectate from their hiding with no notion of helping the members of the circle with their retreat.


    So Sansa who was watching their performance through the live feed of their memories called them with new instructions,” What heck are you people doing idle, go help the circle’s goons escape from here before the allied forces reinforcements arrive.”


    It did not matter to Sansa if the boy was killed or taken hostage by the circle’s supreme lord because, in the end, the boy’s future was bleak.


    “Yes, boss. But if we directly get involved in this then it may expose our involvement in this,” The lead semi-demigod agreed to Sansa’s demands but also pointed out that if they get helped the circle’s members directly then their participation in the assassination of the boy would be apparent.


    “Act as the reinforcement from the circle, the members of the circle will cooperate to keep your cover. Do I have to even teach such small things too?” Sansa snapped hearing the lead semi-demigod ask basic questions as if this was his first rodeo.


    Hearing Sansa be so cold to the lead semi-demigod, Flower Thief rxed about hisst conversation with her. It was not just him, Sansa seemed to be the same to everyone, and maybe even a bit more tolerant toward himpared to others. So he enthusiastically asked, “Matron, what about us? How can we help?”


    “You and your team use your origin card ability to scan the entire sun blossom city, its sewers, and its outskirts, just in case the three clones captured by the circle’s semi-demigods were not the original one. I remind you, at no cost, you guys can allow the boy to walk out of this alive,” Sansa warned being cautious having experienced failure once.
