In order to deal with the cold shots behind him, Sean ran at the end of the team and threw the smoke bombs he had prepared in advance behind him.
White smoke rose up, obscuring Jace's sight as he aimed at the broken window. The veteran was worried about accidentally injuring Benjamin, so he still didn't dare to pull the trigger. He cursed, picked up the gun, jumped out of the broken window, and gave chase.
The retreat direction of Sean's team was not to the back entrance of the manor in the east, but to the side entrance facing the north.
As he ran, Sean's ectoplasm antenna stretched behind him, sensing the movement.
He could feel that a King and an Ace were chasing his team in the direction of escape from different directions.
The plan has been going well so far, Sean thought to himself: "Having learned that the so-called Red Clothes Ancient Cult will capture Benjamin at all costs, the Patton family will definitely strengthen their supervision of him... After this incident, Kennedy has been in a very long period of time." Within a period of time, there would be no chance to kidnap Benjamin.
"So, no matter how chaotic the situation is, he will chase him and take Benjamin away before he is completely locked up."
With this in mind, and estimating that the expected "intersection point" had almost been reached, Sean took Benjamin from Doug's hand and used his ectoplasm to firmly control the trembling boy with tears on his face.
"Only in this way can we avoid your fate of being taken away by the Judas Ring and find Aaliyah..." Sean looked at Benjamin who was pale and seemed to be in a state of shock apologetically, and thought, "Please Please be patient a little longer."
"Run out with all your strength, hide at the first hiding spot, and pay close attention to the vibration of my card!" Sean ordered in a low voice.
"clear!"
Then, Sean slowed down slightly, pretending that his physical strength was not enough to keep up with his teammates who were running away at full speed.
"Stop!" Jess shouted loudly from behind Sean.
The royal-marked musketeer suddenly noticed that there was another powerful being parallel to him not far away, so he instantly turned his gun and pointed it at Charles Kennedy, who was chasing him from the other direction.
Sean carried Benjamin with his ectoplasmic hands and ran, and the ectoplasmic antenna behind him felt the distance between the two...
As Jace ran, the carbine's crosshair kept switching between Kennedy and Sean.
When Sean was sure that Kennedy could not choose to hide, Jace was about to be able to accurately target his back, and his teammates were gradually running away...
He acted like he was exhausted and stopped.
Turning around to block Benjamin in front of him, he pressed the revolver against the boy's temple.
Jess Barton and Charles Kennedy stopped for a moment.
The explorer's footsteps were much faster than ordinary people. At this time, beside the maze garden, Sean, Jess and Kennedy, who were holding Benjamin hostage, stood in a triangle with a side length of about ten meters.
Jace's carbine was aimed at Sean, who was hiding behind Benjamin. Veins popped up on the veteran's forehead: "Let Benjamin go."
"Huh...huh...I chased him pretty fast..." Sean stared at Jace, his chest heaving and he said in a low voice.
On one side, Charles Kennedy stood quietly, seeming to be observing the situation, making sure not to provoke the hostage-takers, and looking for the most suitable moment...
Now he was using the face of the tour guide William Adams, and Sean was a little angry when he saw this face.
Sean's face turned towards Kennedy: "Boss, this is not an opponent I can handle. I'll leave the sacrifice to you."
After saying that, he instantly threw Benjamin in the direction of Kennedy with his ectoplasmic hand.
Retrieving Benjamin was the top priority. Jace ignored the empty-handed Sean, threw the carbine behind him, and instantly rushed towards the direction of Benjamin's whereabouts.
Sean turned to face the direction of escape, condensing almost all the ectoplasm behind him to prevent gunfire.
Kennedy's ectoplasm opened like a net and caught the falling Benjamin.
Jace Barton's right hand burned with a golden flame, and he was about to reach out to grab it...
Sean felt a burst of intense white light erupt behind him.
A powerful release of Naiya's divine feather power.
Because the King-level royal pattern musketeer was too close, he completely absorbed this forgotten flash, leaving a gray color in his pupils.
Sean, who turned around, was still affected by the flash. If there was no Naiya Divine Feather in his soul, which gave him a certain resistance to oblivion, he would have been stunned in the flash just now.
The amnestic resistance effect of Naiya Shenyu made him still conscious, but he could not remember where he was or what he was doing for the time being.
The teammates noticed that the vibration of the poker cards that Sean had been maintaining had stopped, and Olivia also sensed that Sean was affected through the crimson bond. Both parties informed Sean through their respective channels: "Go forward and run away with all your strength!"
The sense of crisis still remained in Sean's soul, and he was reminded by Olivia and Moonlight. Although he couldn't remember what was happening around him, Sean still started running in an instant, throwing out the ectoplasmic hook to accelerate himself. In an instant, he rushed out a few dozen meters away...
After catching Benjamin falling in the air, Charles Kennedy roughly understood what was happening at this moment.
"Someone knew that Benjamin Button was my target and forced me to take him away in a rather embarrassing situation."
For a moment, Charles couldn't figure out who and why he did such a thing. He now had to make a decision: should he take Benjamin Button away at this moment, or should he keep him and wait for the next opportunity?
He knew it was a dilemma.
If Benjamin Button is taken away at this time, he can foresee that his team will face several fierce battles.
However, if Benjamin Button is not taken away this time... with the financial resources and influence of the Button family, he will not have the chance to take him away in recent years...
"I have no choice at all." Kennedy sighed secretly at the viciousness of the man behind the scenes. He had already made up his mind to take Benjamin away no matter how many tough battles it took. "We can't wait any longer."
After the grayish white in his eyes faded, Jace, who seemed to have been frozen for a moment, moved again.
His powerful soul allowed him to get rid of the influence of oblivion in a shorter period of time. At this moment, he had no intention of chasing Sean, he just wanted to snatch Benjamin back from Kennedy's hands.
The golden flame burned with his right hand again, and Jace's hand grabbed Benjamin...
Kennedy raised his left hand, and on the left side of the lanky man appeared the outline of an angel pierced by a spear and covered in blood. A blood-stained spear penetrated Jace Barton's body.
The veteran's abdomen was pierced by a spear, and he flew backwards with some disbelief on his face.
However, his King-level superhuman physique prevented him from being killed by this blow. He only rolled back ten meters away, with a shocking open wound on his stomach.
A young woman with long orange hair in braids ran over from the back door of the manor. She had freckles on her face. If it weren't for the horrific scar that stretched from the corner of her left eye to her left lower jaw, she might have looked more gentle. a little.
The woman was wearing a dark green coat and looked questioningly at the back of Sean, who had fled far away.
"There's no need to chase them. The high-level protection protocol has been activated. Let's leave as soon as possible." Kennedy didn't pay attention to those Jacks.
The top priority now is to take Benjamin away from here.
