Chapter 401: I Know You!
Chapter 401
"What’s going on?" Vanessa shouted as the whole family could be seen twisting and turning around after hearing a reverberating boom from outside.
They had all been sitting around, breathing raggedly due to exhaustion from fighting a hundred men. Luckily, they managed to win their fights, albeit not easily, since the order from Yami was to not kill them.
That’s why the hundred men were currently seen groaning in pain on the ground. Some were unconscious, while others were still conscious but unable to lift a muscle as they writhed and whimpered.
"Your dad... he..." Clarice stuttered as she stared up at the huge hole in the ceiling. "Let’s go out now," she ordered as she bolted outside, followed closely by Finral, Vanessa, Millie, and Grey.
In less than a minute, the whole family was outside. What they saw shocked them to the core.
