Someone else was here? This was the first thing that came to Liam's mind. Just like he had sniffed out this shady bunch and arrived here, there was a high chance that someone else had also come here to hunt down these mongrels. However, this third party was very intriguing. There was no one visible at all. Liam could only see the darkness of the night and nothing else. There was absolutely no trace of someone else present in the vicinity. Rather than the actual enemy, this was more worrisome. If they could escape his attention so easily, then their skills were quite good, or at least their stats in agility was impressive. Liam did not linger around any longer and quickly dashed forward to take a look. This situation was getting more and more interesting by the second. He went around the hospital compound, and just like before, the armed men were dropping like flies left and right. Someone was actually killing them all right in front of his eyes, and he was still not able to catch sight of the killer. Liam did not rush and took care of the souls first, one after the other. They were far too precious to let them go to waste, and besides, he needed information from these people. He then observed the corpses, and every single one had decayed and desiccated just like the previous one. Liam continued following the trail of dead bodies and soon arrived at the main hospital block. All the other armed guards were already dead, and he also had twenty-three newly forged souls in his possession. "Now for the main event?" He hurried inside and heard some noises coming in from a room on the right side. "I am the King! I am a fucking King! You cannot treat me like this." Someone was shouting. When Liam walked in, the first thing he saw when he stood in front of the room was blood. There was blood everywhere! And the six women whom he had seen alive and well only just now were all lying on the floor, pale and dead. Their heads were unceremoniously ripped off from their bodies, and the halves were randomly tossed around without any remorse or respect. More importantly, the person who was responsible for all of this was currently in a pitiable situation. With his face jammed onto the ground, the thin person was squished like a bug and barely alive. Standing on top of him was a person fully clad in black clothes. Only his eyes were visible. More importantly, this person was looking right at Liam. Glaring at him like a silent tiger. "Step aside. I am not here to fight you." He growled. "Hmmm?" Liam smirked. "That's my friend, you know?" He purposefully lied. Even the person who was flattened like a pizza on the ground looked up at him oddly. Friend? What the hell was this guy talking about? "You are not my friend, peasant. I am the King!" The guy growled. Hearing him, both Liam and the black-robed figure turned to look at the idiot at the same time. He was not even reading the room. Both of them had the itch to facepalm. "Like I said. It is not your fight. Step aside. I am warning you." The black-robed figure curtly warned Liam again. Liam chuckled, and then he stepped aside. "Alright. See. I am more than willing to step aside, but first, you need to do one thing for me." "Hmmm?" "Simple. Kill him. Right here and now." Liam shrugged casually. The black-robed figure immediately clenched his fists. Liam's eyes trailed along his movements to see that he had gripped a pair of not too shabby-looking daggers in his hands. In fact, they looked quite good. Liam's impression of the guy was steadily increasing every second. "Why do I see hesitation?" He smiled again, his gaze slightly turning cold. "Perhaps I was mistaken here. Perhaps you are the one who is his friend." Ptui! The guy immediately spat out. "He is a heinous person who has committed a lot of crimes. He is not my friend." "Then kill him and leave." The black-robed figure shook his head. "I can't do that. I need him alive." "To interrogate him?" Liam chuckled. The other person solemnly nodded. He did not try to hide it. What he did not know was that Liam wanted him to kill the guy for the exact same purpose. "It looks like we are at an impasse here, my friend." The next second, unexpectedly, the other person dropped his prisoner on the floor. "I don't think so." He dashed forward, his figure becoming a blur. Liam had to admit. He was taken aback by this sudden display of skill. Mastering something like stealth or some kind of movement technique like the one displayed in front of him right now was extremely difficult. It required a different kind of comprehension, and not everyone could do it. Only geniuses of Mia's calibre could even dream of achieving something like this. The black-robed figure was undoubtedly very talented, but that stopped here. As the opponent disappeared, Liam's eyes immediately darted to the side. In a single swift motion, he used his hand to block the dagger coming at him, right for his throat. Shing! Not only was the dagger blocked, but he had also caught it! The black-robed figure's face briefly materialized at the same time. However, there was only shock and awe on that face. Ha! The person grunted and quickly tried to take his dagger back for the next attack, but Liam's hold was simply too strong, and the dagger did not budge even an inch. In the end, the black-robed figure flinched and completely gave up on the dagger as he disappeared again. "I suggest you stop this now," Liam smirked in amusement as he spun the dagger in his hand and looked at the cold metal and how sharp it was. The dagger was really not bad. As if enraged by the way the opponent was playing around with his weapon, the next second, the person again appeared, this time right behind Liam, and he again went for the throat. "So ruthless." Liam chuckled as he once again swung around and blocked the attack, this time gripping the other dagger as well. If he could do it once, he could naturally do it again and again. Perhaps he had overestimated the abilities of this person? But just as this thought crossed his mind, Liam's eyes instantly darted to the side. It was not over yet. There was another attack coming right at him!
