The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"Are you the owner here?"

Hawkeye's gaze fell on Bella. Just as the people around her had described, she was indeed a very beautiful woman, with a graceful posture, a tall and voluptuous figure, and exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.

"Yes, I am the boss. And you are, sir?"

Bella cast a questioning look at Hawkeye.

“I’m very sorry, Miss Bella, I didn’t mean to make things this big, but I need to do something and I need your cooperation.”

Hawkeye bowed slightly.

Bella's beauty did indeed momentarily amaze Hawkeye, but only for a moment.

Hawkeye has a family. He has a daughter who is currently studying at Guberland University. As for his wife... he and his wife had a bad relationship and have been divorced for almost ten years.

For the past ten years, he has devoted himself to military affairs and raising his daughter, and has never touched a woman.

You could say you've successfully quit pornography.

"I see. But why should I cooperate with you? Just because you need to accomplish something?"

Bella scoffed.

It seems Miss Hazel guessed correctly. This guy is quite strong, probably indeed at the Obsidian level. Besides, he came here to do something—which is to capture Helena, isn't it?

So, he is the assassin Chad!

They're really something, finding this place so quickly.

Did they already know that Helena was hiding here?

"Can we speak in private?"

Hawkeye looked at Bella with an inquiring gaze.

"Fuck!"

Just as Bella was pondering how to stall Hawkeye and create an opportunity for Helena to escape, someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly cried out in surprise.

"What's going on?"

As screams rang out, everyone quickly realized what was happening.

Suddenly, the interior of the tavern turned gray and gloomy. The colors and luster of the surrounding furniture and everything else dimmed. Looking out the window, the original street scene of Yiling City was completely gone, replaced by a dizzying crimson mist.

Hawkeye and Ella reacted quickly.

It's a barrier!

Moreover, judging from the intensity of its spiritual power, it was cast by at least an Obsidian-level expert.

But it was obvious that the barrier wasn't created by Hawkeye, which made Ella's heart skip a beat.

"Isn't that unnecessary, Mr. Hart? This is just a small tavern. The strongest person here is only Diamond level. You're bringing two or more Obsidian level people. Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Ella looked at Hawkeye and said.

“Huh? I don’t understand what Miss Ella is talking about. I’m not Hart, this has nothing to do with me. I just came to ask you about Mr. Moses’ whereabouts. I… I’m very worried about him.”

Ella was referring to Mr. Hart. There are so many people in the world with the surname Hart, but Hawkeye didn't realize it was Chad Hart.

So he was a little confused, but in the end he still couldn't forget to lie a little, saying that he was very worried about Moses, which was to imply to the other party that he had no ill intentions towards Moses.

After all, Hawkeye didn't want to reveal his identity, so he let them think he was Moses' friend.

Ok?

He's not Chad! He's here to see Moses? Is he worried about Moses? Could he be a friend of Mr. Moses?

Who is this person who is coming now?

“Who is Miss Bella? I advise you to cooperate with me, because you are not getting away.”

A black shadow appeared in the red mist at the tavern's entrance.

He was Chad's illusion. After learning that Helena was in the tavern, Chad rushed over. When he arrived at the tavern entrance, he immediately set up a high-level barrier to prevent any accidents, so that Helena could not escape.

Chad didn't believe Helena had the ability to escape the barrier he had set up.

This is terrible.

Bella was extremely anxious at this moment, and she was completely helpless under the absolute crushing power.

But... it seems that the man in front of me might be able to fight him?

"Sir, you are Moses' friend, right?"

Dora suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Hawkeye's arm.

"Yes."

Hawkeye felt slightly uncomfortable.

"This guy is trying to kill Moses, who is currently hiding in the tavern healing his wounds. Please, sir, lend a hand!"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Bewildered Chad

As one of the three heroes of the Empire, Hawkeye Bloomfield outwardly obeys only the Emperor's orders.

Chad is indeed one of Hibbert's men, but Hawkeye and Chad have no connection whatsoever and have never fought each other before.

After all, they were both workers in Guberlan, and there was absolutely no need for them to fight.

Moreover, Chad wouldn't be foolish enough to clash with one of the top military leaders in the Empire.

So although Chad and Hawkeye both live in Guberland, they only met a few times when it came to Hibbert, and they didn't have any interaction with each other.

Moreover, Chad used the assassin's Shadow Transformation skill within the barrier, so Hawkeye didn't recognize him. In Shadow Transformation, besides looking incredibly cool, Chad receives a significant boost to all his attributes.

Furthermore, Hawkeye didn't intend to reveal his identity when he came to the tavern today, so he deliberately disguised himself.

Hawkeye had worked as a spy and agent, and his disguise skills were so advanced that they were indistinguishable from the real thing. Therefore, Chad did not recognize Hawkeye when he scanned everyone in the front hall.

So Hawkeye actually believed Bella's sudden rambling a little bit.

"Is Mr. Moses really here?"

"Hawkeye asked."

“It is absolutely true, I make this promise in the name of the Goddess of Justice.”

Bella affirmed, "But your friend is in very poor condition."

"Okay, leave this to me."

Hawkeye said in a deep voice, his gaze as sharp as a knife as he looked at Chad in his shadow form.

With that one glance, Chad suddenly felt immense pressure.

[Dora, this is bad. There seems to be a powerful expert here.]

Before they even entered, Dora and Chad had already established a "telepathic" connection.

This is a kind of magic that allows the two people affected to communicate smoothly and fluently using their thoughts, regardless of distance.

[It seems there is indeed a powerful force protecting Helena from behind.]

Dora was dressed in men's clothing, her top hat pulled down low. Before Chad made his move, she had already sneaked into the tavern's front hall. She had witnessed Hawkeye kicking Page away and was currently among the onlookers.

Can you handle that guy?

Before Chad could reply, Dora continued to ask.

Although this guy seems to have some skill, I'm confident I can give him a 70/30 chance, I'll have 70% and he'll have 30%.

Chad replied confidently.

"Alright, since he's Lord Hibbert's enemy anyway, you'd better just kill him. I already know Helena's location; I'll go capture her now. You end the battle as quickly as possible."

Don't worry, I won't hold back. You hurry up and grab Helena from the basement.

【Row. 】

While everyone's attention was focused on the confrontation between Hawkeye and Chad, Dora quietly made her way to the tavern's secret door.

Unfortunately, Hawkeye's greatest strength lies in his eyes; he saw every single detail of Dora's movements.

“Miss Ella, that black man over there is an accomplice of the other side. He’s about as strong as you. You should go protect Mr. Moses and hold him off. I’ll finish the fight and come help you right away.”

Hawkeye gestured to Ella beside him.

At this moment, Ella also noticed Dora, who was quietly making her way to the hidden door.

"Yes, sir, take care."

Ella suddenly felt that Hawkeye was incredibly manly. Moses was so lucky to have such a lovely sister and such a tough brother. No wonder he dared to take on this mission from Hayden Manor.

Ella didn't waste any words. Hazel and Helena were no match for a demigod; she had to stop that black man!

"Sir, are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"

The first step to civilized fighting is to avoid fighting if possible.

Therefore, Chad immediately tried to persuade Chad to surrender at the start of the game.

"You're the one who's gotten yourself into this mess, sir."

Hawkeye sneered.

Where did this wild assassin come from? He must have a high-ranking master behind him, otherwise how could he speak so arrogantly?

"I didn't intend to see any blood, but since that's the case, I'm sorry."

Since the other side wouldn't back down, Chad didn't want to waste any more words and just went straight for the kill.

When communication fails to resolve a problem, resorting to force becomes the only option.

The wisps of black mist floating in the air began to thicken, quickly transforming from gas into liquid. Then, these liquids instantly turned into countless black short swords, shooting towards Hawkeye from all directions.

The air was thick with the smell of decay and decay.

Is this an obsidian-level attack?!

The onlookers were completely terrified. They were like ants on a hot plate, frantically scrambling around the tavern. Due to the barrier, they couldn't leave the tavern area and could only try to find places away from the front hall to hide.

The flow of decay.

Chad didn't feign an attack; he immediately raised his hand and unleashed a killing blow, after all, he was after Hawkeye's life.

He was very confident in his move; even if the guy opposite him didn't die, he would at least suffer a huge blow.

However, Hawkeye simply extended his hand forward, and a ball of light quickly condensed in his palm. Then, as if summoned by some force, all the black short swords changed direction and rushed into the ball of light at an even faster speed, disappearing without a trace after entering it.

In just a few seconds, all the black short swords disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Then, Hawkeye slightly pushed his palm, and the ball of light naturally floated in front of him, then shone brightly and turned into a beam of light.

Hawkeye quickly grasped the end of the light arrow, and a large golden bow appeared in his hand in a crescent shape.

The bowstring tightened rapidly, and the light arrow shot towards Chad like a meteor. The moment the light arrow flew out, the black short swords that had disappeared reappeared, but this time their target was Chad.

Hawkeye's counterattack took less than a second. Chad didn't even have time to react before he found himself suddenly facing a barrage of arrows.

"Yu!"

Chad uttered a word in the language of Guberly, and then a wall of light flowing with strange runes instantly formed around him.

All the black short swords struck the wall of light like raindrops falling into a lake. Therefore, Chad could confirm that the opponent's counterattack was not actually as powerful as his own. The damage was reduced by at least 90%, and it was just an exaggerated display to scare people.

So, there's really nothing to fear about the opponent's seemingly dazzling attack?

Just as Chad had this thought, the arrow of light radiating intense white light arrived.

The light arrow did not disappear immediately after hitting the light wall, but instead remained suspended in mid-air as if time had stopped.

Then, the light arrow shone brightly again and exploded.

The explosion left Chad feeling completely disoriented. He was dizzy and his head was buzzing. He didn't even have time to feel the pain.

I'll blanch it.

This guy's frying fish!
