Volume 3, Chapter 77 – I Need to Get Out of Here

Bang!

Crash!

Sandi’s body slammed into the wall with a loud bang. Then he slid down from it, smashing the pile of clutter on the floor into a complete mess.

The pain burned like fire.

Sandi bared his teeth.

The wound at his waist was the most serious one. There was no way it could have healed in just two days, and it seemed to have torn open a little again just now.

“I’m really angry now!”

Aila strode toward Sandi.

She raised her small right fist.

That was the punch that had just sent Sandi flying.

She had no idea who Sandi was, but he was obviously here to cause trouble, so naturally Aila was not going to be polite.

Anran had never taught her what politeness was.

Of course, she had not taught Aila to beat troublemakers to death either.

So Aila had already held back with that hit just now.

Otherwise, with the full force of 73 Strength, against an unguarded Sandi who was already injured, one punch would probably have been enough to break his bones.

As for those fragile cannon-fodder types, Aila could absolutely live up to the title of One-Punch Man in front of them.

“I underestimated you. No wonder that woman felt safe leaving you here alone to run the shop. So you’re a body-enhancement-type ability user too.”

Sandi stood up and stared at Aila with a dark expression.

So what if you’re physically strong? Speed is my real specialty.

Sandi gripped the alloy short knife. His body tightened, his right foot pressed down, and with a sudden burst of force, his whole body shot out like a cannonball.

Whoosh.

He became a shadow.

Dust swirled up from the ground.

At this speed, can you even track me?

One slash, two slashes…

The first thrust went for her right eye.

A dangerous smile hung on Sandi’s face.

Just as he was about to rush in front of Aila, he suddenly shifted a whole body’s width to the right.

A sideways movement like that at high speed put a huge burden on the body, but it could also produce a completely unexpected effect.

Slash.

Sandi swung his right hand.

The knife flashed, slicing through the air.

It went straight for Aila’s eye.

However, he had overlooked the most important point. Ordinary human eyes could not capture his movements. Even Anran could not see him clearly. But Aila’s eyes used extremely advanced visual tracking technology, technology derived from that blank AI.

Even with material limitations, Sandi’s speed was nowhere near enough to break through all limits.

To Aila, it was broken down frame by frame.

Even though her Agility was only 25, that was more than enough for her to react.

One punch!

It landed hard in Sandi’s stomach.

As for his shoulder…

It was actually kind of troublesome for Aila’s fist to reach that high.

Urk!

Sandi was sent flying again, and this time the alloy short knife fell to the floor too.

Pain. Twisting pain.

Sandi clutched his stomach and stared at Aila in shock.

She can actually see my movements. Was that just a lucky hit?

His mind was full of disbelief, but after suffering two losses in a row, Sandi no longer dared to look down on Aila.

Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.

In that case…

Sandi stood up and pulled out a pistol with a sinister smile.

A ripple immediately appeared in Aila’s eyes. A pistol, and a large-caliber one at that.

She looked around on her side.

There was nothing.

The prize pistols were all stored under the cabinet.

“Heh. You’re strong. Even if I weren’t injured, I probably still wouldn’t be much stronger than you. So let’s see how many shots from me you can take,” Sandi said with a smile.

…

If a person gets shot, they might die.

Aila knew that very well from playing games.

After analyzing and calculating the situation, she concluded that she most likely could not dodge Sandi’s shots.

If she did not go down, would that expose what she was? Would that cause trouble for Anran?

But even if she did fall down, she would not be able to bleed after being shot.

Aila looked around, but she could not find anything useful. There was only a wooden stool, and that could not stop a bullet either.

“I can let you run ten meters first!”

As he spoke, Sandi raised the gun and aimed it at Aila’s forehead.

Aila reacted very decisively and shrank down, curling up directly beneath the counter.

She was rapidly analyzing the situation in front of her.

This customer was like a madman. He had clearly come here on purpose to cause trouble. She could not kill him, but she still had to teach him a lesson.

…

What kind of move is that?

She’s giving up resistance?

Sandi narrowed his eyes.

His finger rested on the trigger and was just about to squeeze.

Whoosh!

Sandi immediately dodged to the side.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several bullets flew at him in succession.

It turned out that Aila had picked up the bullets scattered on the floor and was hurling them one after another.

Crash!

At the end of it, a chair smashed solidly into the wall. Sandi dodged that round of attacks in a very bedraggled state, but Aila had already rushed in front of him.

Damn it.

An uppercut.

Sandi leaned back, and the wind from the punch brushed past the side of his nose.

Then his arm suddenly felt as though it had been clamped by a pair of iron pincers. His hand loosened and the gun fell away, while his body abruptly rose into the air.

A throw.

Sandi flew out like a javelin.

Next came the follow-up attack.

There were several possible methods.

One: a knee strike. His waist would probably break. That would not do.

Two: pin him down.

Aila instantly locked onto Sandi’s arm.

After losing the initiative, the vicious thug had finally fallen into Aila’s hands, and she tossed him around like a toy.

Hiss.

Sandi sucked in a sharp breath.

He looked at Aila in terror.

This little girl was far more terrifying than her sister.

No. If this keeps going, I’ll be thrown to death.

The wound on his side split open, and blood was already flowing out.

Bang!

He crashed into the wall yet again. Suddenly, Sandi shrugged off his clothes. Aila grabbed a sleeve, and seizing the chance, Sandi turned and ran.

He put every ounce of strength he had into it.

Not even the pain could stop his fleeing steps.

Get out of here!

That was the only thought left in Sandi’s mind.

He had come howling in like a gale, only to hit a wall in the end and slink away in disgrace.

…

Aila held the clothes and glanced at the utterly wrecked Shop 777.

Her heart skipped a beat. How much was it going to cost to repair the shop?

The moment she thought of that number, Aila became furious.

He smashed things up and wants to run without paying for them?

No way. I absolutely can’t let him get away!

So she immediately chased after him.

But once Sandi fully got moving, he was just too fast.

By the time Aila reached the corner, she could no longer see any trace of him.

“This is so infuriating!” Aila clutched Sandi’s clothes and spun in circles anxiously on the spot.

The chair, the damaged wall, the fallen lighted sign. To restore everything completely would cost more than 1,000 Bilu.

Aila’s little face instantly scrunched up.

Her allowance was nowhere near enough.

If Anran finds out…

Waaah…

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

At that moment, a strange sound suddenly came from by her feet.

Aila lowered her head and discovered coins continuously rolling out of the clothes in her hands.

!”

She immediately crouched down and protected the coins tightly.

There was no one around.

Aila returned to the shop.

Then she started counting the money.

10 Bilu, 20 Bilu… 220 Bilu.

Huh? There were bills too.

300 Bilu, 500 Bilu…

There was actually more than 2,000 Bilu in total!

A relieved smile instantly appeared on Aila’s face.

So although that customer had been crazy, after being beaten and chased off, he had realized his mistake and guiltily left behind money for the repairs.

Rеаd oո КatRеαⅾіոɡСаfе

Aila searched the other pocket.

At once, a small card slipped out.

“Golden Splendor Grand Hotel.”

Mm. It seemed to be a rather famous hotel chain.

A map of Twinmoon City appeared in Aila’s mind. It was 5.6 kilometers from Shop 777.

“Hmph! Don’t expect me to return the extra money.”

Aila directly tossed the dirty clothes into the garbage bin outside.

…

Near noon, after reporting the Morningstar hideout, Anran returned from Nine Songs’ base.

She first came to Shop 777 to call Aila back for lunch.

But the moment she stepped inside, Anran was startled.

What the hell? I was gone for half a day. How did it turn into this?

Aside from the two 777 machines still being relatively intact, everything else was full of dents and gouges, and several patches of paint had been knocked off the walls.

Did robbers break in or something?

Wait, where’s Aila?

Just as Anran was thinking that, she saw Aila, wearing a little apron and a white cap on her head, walking over from the side with a broom in her hand.

“Anran!”

“What happened here?” Anran asked.

Aila jogged over. “Let me tell you…”

She poured out the whole story in one go.

“A crazy customer, plain-looking, and very fast?”

Anran’s expression immediately darkened.

Aila thought Anran was angry at her and immediately lowered her head.

“Let me see that card,” Anran said.

“Oh.”

Aila handed the card to Anran.

“Golden Splendor Grand Hotel, huh.” Anran narrowed her eyes. “I’ve finally found your location.”

An injured madman actually dared to try attacking Aila again while I was away. This time, I absolutely cannot let him leave.

Anran clenched her fists.

The best way to deal with a madman like this, someone utterly devoid of humanity, was to send him straight to hell.

Anran patted Aila on the head. “Let’s go pull a big job!”

It was Sandi who had killed Colin. No matter what, she had to bring Aila along.

“Ding-dong! Quest triggered…”
