Chapter 346: Chapter 169: It’s time for the much-anticipated settlement!
Five minutes later, Wayne withdrew his tentacles and covered Philomena’s pristine white right arm with the white shirt.
The doctor wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, the surgery was a success, the patient was out of danger, and with some rest, she would be ready to be discharged.
"Boss, I’ve brought back the item."
Mona returned with a suitcase and handed the mask to Wayne, "The mask seems a bit strange, it might be the key to leaving, so I brought it along."
"What about the head?"
"Turned to ash."
"Well done, let’s go."
Anticipating a possible ambush from the opposite side, Wayne stood up to leave and, seeing Philomena unconscious, bound her in the white shirt and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
To be on the safe side, it was better to take her with them, just in case any perverts showed up!
Mona, unhappy that her VIP seat was taken, knew Wayne was kind-hearted and would certainly reach out to help the weak.
But why did he have to carry her on his shoulder? Wouldn’t it be better to hold her in his arms, like a princess?
Definitely not!
Tucking her under his arm was more convenient and he didn’t lack the strength for it.
Armed with the mask, Wayne walked through the corridor and, seeing three headless corpses, had Mona pick up three masks before setting them alight with a burst of flame, leaving nothing behind.
The enemies had considerable strength and were sworn enemies of the Moonlight Church.
He didn’t care who they were specifically, as long as he could erase the traces of his actions, he refused to believe they could follow him to Lundan.
Laughable! Let them come if they dare!
The two used the masks to reach the window at the end of the corridor, and Wayne waved his hand, finally seeing the starry night sky. He vaulted up to the roof with one leap, releasing his thought perception to detect magic power fluctuations around him.
"Found it!"
Wayne spotted the core of the enemy’s Magic Array, patted his behind, and quickly descended from the fifth floor with Mona, making their way to the grove of trees behind the hotel.
He memorized the shape of the two Magic Arrays, and his five fingers touched the Crystal Ball, ready to extract the Four Elements.
But he didn’t act.
The hotel building was in shambles, and if he removed the Four Elements, the Mirror Space would disappear, potentially causing the building to collapse instantly.
Earlier in his urgency to deal with the enemy, he had no chance to rescue anyone, and there were other guests in the hotel rooms. If the building collapsed, these people would undoubtedly die.
He placed Philomena down on the grass, collected the tools used to set up the Forbidden Magic Domain, and immediately destroyed the Forbidden Magic Domain to ensure Philomena’s teammates could use magic.
His vast mind enveloped the hotel, and the Four Elements extracted from the Crystal Ball divided, with the Earth Element taken out separately.
The moment the Mirror Space dissipated, Wayne used the Earth Element to cast magic, erecting walls of earth to act as load-bearing walls, stabilizing the teetering hotel building.
In the aftermath, Wayne declared he could help no further; he had done his best, and it was now up to the city government to worry about the rest.
It was a pity for the hotel; unable to be repaired, it could only be demolished. The owner would likely wake up the next morning to tears.
Half an hour later, police cars surrounded the hotel, starting rescue operations.
Wayne watched from a distance until Nicholas, stumbling drunk, returned to the hotel’s entrance with his team members around midnight.
Hearing of an earthquake and casualties, Nicholas broke out in a cold sweat, sobered up on the spot, and immediately wanted to rush into the rubble to save the owner.
But it wasn’t the owner; it was his own livelihood, life, and future at stake.
"Stop howling, I’m not dead yet."
Wayne emerged from behind the bushes, very pleased with Nicholas’s performance, and had him arrange for them to stay in a new hotel and expedite the arrangement of a private flight.
They couldn’t stay here for long and needed to leave quickly.
Nicholas had experienced huge emotional swings in one day, and with his expression management out of control, he began to sob and laugh as he arranged everything according to Wayne’s orders.
Wayne took pen and paper from a team member, wrote a few lines, returned to the grove, and stuffed the note into Philomena’s collar.
[Lady, I have not failed my mission and saved your companion at the last moment]
[The enemy is too strong; there are still ambushes around. I only had time to save people, not to protect the luggage, which was taken by the enemy’s reinforcement and is now missing]
[I have healed the diseases in your body using the Holy See’s Secret Technique. Don’t thank me, the sword will serve as the consultation fee]
[Your charm is astounding; until we meet again, if fate allows, Jack]
After sorting everything out, Wayne waved his hand, taking Mona with him as they were about to leave. Before leaving, he gave Philomena’s face a very firm pinch.
The intense pain was enough to rouse Philomena from her exhaustion, and in a drowsy state, she saw the silhouettes of Wayne and Mona walking away with the suitcase.
Suppressing the painful exhaustion of her mind, she stood up with support from the tree trunk, took the note from her collar, and after reading, she could not help her eyes from twitching.
If the suitcase was taken by the enemy, then what had she just seen? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Such a perfunctory excuse!
Deception requires at least some respect, done with some heart while she lay unconscious...
Oh, what a good man.
Such a gentleman, and it warmed her.
She unwrapped the shirt tied around her, put it on herself, and with fingertips bathed in moonlight, she brushed against her face, dispelling the swollen cheeks.
Philomena’s face darkened, the man might be nice, but now was not the time to think about that: "Magic Department, the Moonlight Church will not let this go, you must pay a price."
Laying in ambush, attacking ruthlessly, leaving no room for survival, killing people and stealing the box, this matter was far from over!

Elsewhere, Nicholas found a hotel near the airport.
He received a call from upper management at the Albert Steel Company, who expressed deep concern for their safety. After confirming there were no casualties, they apologized profusely.
They promised to make it right for the inadequate hospitality and used the opportunity to negotiate cooperation terms, securing certain benefits for the Lando Consortium based on the original quote.
