Chapter 25: She’s going to kill me...
Nick cursed inwardly the moment he heard Beast Slayer’s grating voice.
Just the one thing he didn’t need to hear at the moment.
However, while Beast Slayer was too busy laughing with his lackeys at Nick’s public embarrassment, Nick decided to make a swift exit.
He was already in the square, and the teleporter was less than a hundred metres away from him. All he needed to do was reach it and pass through before Beast Slayer could react.
With that, he activated his Sabertooth Wolf Beast Armament and felt his speed become augmented several fold.
But he didn’t keep the Beast Armament active for long, since his lungs would quickly give in if he kept it active for more than 10 seconds.
So he put his all into his legs and started running as hard and fast as he could, reaching the teleporter in less than 3 seconds, and immediately passed through it, skipping the orderly line of people already waiting their turn.
He couldn’t care if his actions were rude to all those queuing, him making his escape from Beast Slayer’s ridicule was more important than the scorn they already felt for him increasing a bit!
Of course, Nick couldn’t care less about the words Beast Slayer had for him, he just wanted to make sure he made it through the teleporter before he did.
He could already see that Beast Slayer and his lackeys were heading towards the teleporter before he’d even begun prostrating openly in the street, it was just that his original plan was to remain lowkey and pass through the teleporter largely unnoticed after Beast Slayer and his lackeys had already done so.
...But his excitement of finding out about the Whiteclaw Snake King Beast Armament got the better of him, and attracted too much attention to himself.
