两男一女的双龙挺进

"I know what you\'re thinking, kid, but we\'re not like the others. We have morals," Captain Bofan stated, clearly seeing through Nox\'s thoughts.

As if to stress his point, the weapons in his men\'s hands vanished into their inventories.

"So what do you want?" Nox asked in an unfriendly tone. "I don\'t recall making any appointments with you guys."

"Why don\'t we go somewhere more appropriate to discuss this?" Captain Bofan suggested, but Nox shook his head.

"So you can ambush me? I\'m not that foolish."

Though he said this, Nox strongly doubted Bofan\'s men could ambush him—he could easily use Divine Velocity to outrun them. Still, he was curious to hear what the captain wanted to discuss, which was the only reason he was lingering.

Captain Bofan looked around. Citizens were walking about, and he didn\'t want to discuss the murder case here. He had already warned the eyewitnesses to keep their mouths sealed, not to reveal even a single detail about the store owner\'s death.

The reason for this was simple: he didn\'t want the news to spread and unsettle the citizens. For now, the only people who knew about it were the Mayor and his strike team, and Bofan intended to keep it that way.

After a lot of convincing, Nox finally agreed to follow Captain Bofan to a secluded place, but only Bofan himself was allowed to talk to him.

Of course, Captain Bofan readily agreed, laughing in his mind. \'I don\'t need the others; I\'m more than enough to arrest you.\'

"He\'s cooked," one of the soldiers couldn\'t help but laugh at Nox\'s foolishness.

"True. If only he had refused to follow the captain, he might\'ve had a chance to escape by taking advantage of the crowd."

In a nearby alley, Nox crossed his arms. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Kid, I won\'t beat around the bush." Captain Bofan\'s face turned extremely serious as he held Nox\'s gaze. "What happened in that store?"

"What store? What are you talking about?" Nox\'s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "store," but he expertly masked his expression. His mind was racing—how had this man tracked him down so quickly after the event in the store, which had just happened a few hours ago?

"Nice try, kid, but we already know what you and your squad did," Bofan stated, ramming his large fists together. "Now, let\'s do each other a favor and make this easy for everyone... Take me to your leader. You can do this the easy way or the hard way."

\'Phew, I thought he had some sort of tracker on me or something,\' Nox thought as he looked at the Captain. Because of how quickly Bofan had located him, he had feared this world had trackers. Fortunately, Bofan asking meant he had no idea.

Of course, Nox would never reveal their location.

"From your expression, I take it you\'re choosing the hard route. So be it." Captain Bofan charged forward, a wind current behind him as he slashed the air.

*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*

Two wind blades split the air, hurtling towards Nox with incredible speed.

"Hmph." Nox turned his back on Bofan and dashed forward.

"Run, run—you\'ll never get away from me." Bofan sneered as he bolted after Nox. Being a mage who specialized in wind magic, he was incredibly swift, closing the distance between him and Nox in a split second.

"This old fool," Nox smirked, feeling an intense urge to mess with the older man welling up inside him.

Oblivious to Nox\'s thoughts, Captain Bofan grinned. He had covered the distance and was now just an arm\'s length away from catching the boy. He stretched out a hand to grab him, but a sudden gust of wind slammed into him.

"Huh, where did he go?" Captain Bofan exclaimed in surprise as he grabbed empty air. Just a few meters ahead, Nox stood, a mocking smile on his face.

\'How? He\'s just level 14, and I\'m level 50. There\'s such a huge power difference between us. My stats are certainly higher, so how did he outrun me? It must be a fluke.\' The Captain convinced himself as he closed the distance once more.

"You got lucky the first time, boy, but tha—huh." The older man\'s eyes widened.

"What were you saying, Captain?" Nox called out from afar.

\'Two times... He played me two times. This can\'t be luck... How is he so fast?!\' Captain Bofan\'s frown deepened. He made a swipe at the air, and several wind blades whistled through it.

\'Since I can\'t catch you, I\'ll cut you down instead!\' he sneered in his mind. The level 50 mage had never thought he\'d struggle to catch a kid who wasn\'t even a teenager yet.

\'[Divine Velocity!]\' Nox activated the skill for the third time. The first two times, he had used it to distance himself from his pursuer, then deactivated it; otherwise, Captain Bofan, with his far superior stats, would have caught up to him without a shred of doubt.

This time, Nox used Divine Velocity to weave between the extremely sharp wind blades. He jumped, flipped, and ducked in mid-air, purposefully evading over a hundred wind blades, leaving Captain Bofan so stunned that he momentarily forgot he was chasing someone.

Divine Velocity didn\'t just increase Nox\'s speed; it also heightened his reaction time, enabling him to dodge the wind blades effortlessly.

With a sudden boost in speed, Nox, now a golden blur, disappeared into the city, leaving a level 50 mage in the dust.
