Since the situation was not in their favour, Theodore and the others were forced to go with these people, and Theodore guessed that the arrogant man who seemed to be the leader of these people was the Boss Celia had mentioned earlier.

Finally, they were gathered among the collapsed buildings not far from Celia’s hiding place. Theodore still didn’t need to understand what these people were looking for by capturing them.

Slowly, the man called Boss walked towards Celia, who looked pale and anxious. Theodore, who was watching, already knew that their current situation had something to do with Celia.

"It’s not wrong of me to let you out of my grasp," Boss said as he grabbed Celia’s jaw and pulled her up to look at him.

"You! How did you find me when I made sure no one knew of my escape?" Celia’s voice was getting quieter and quieter; she really couldn’t figure it out at the moment.

Even though Celia really made sure that she was not being followed or known by Boss and his men. But in the end, Celia had to accept the fact that she was found again by Boss.

"Who do you think you are to be able to trick someone like me, huh?" The look on Boss’s face began to change. He also threw Celia’s jaw, which he had grabbed.

Celia was even more panicked at this time. Honestly, she had no intention of endangering Theodore and the others. But after all this happened, Celia felt really bad about them because they could have been captured by the Boss like this.

"Please let them go. They have nothing to do with this matter. I’ll do anything as long as you let them go," Celia said, quickly crawling towards Boss and hugging his legs to plead.

"Isn’t it already too late? Of course, I won’t just let them go," Boss replied with a wide grin on his face.

"I’ll pay the price! So please let them go! I beg you." Celia was already on the verge of tears as she begged Boss to let Theodore and the others go.

Boss was secretly happy to hear that, but he tried to hide his excitement. Boss slowly squatted down in front of Celia so that he could see Celia’s desperate expression right now.

"Even if you have to give up your strength?" The Boss looked straight at Celia, trying to intimidate her.

For a moment, Celia looked doubtful after she heard what Boss had said to her. She had expected this, but she was still surprised when she heard it directly.

Theodore, who was in the back, could hear their conversation. Actually, he suspected that Celia had something on her. Looking back, it was actually impossible for an outsider to get into their car at that time, considering that the magic scroll had been activated.

Therefore, Theodore guessed that Celia had the power or used something to get into his car.

"What are they talking about? It seems very serious. Look at Celia, really uncomfortable," whispered Roxanne, who was beside Theodore.

"Celia seems to have powers, and she intends to give her powers to Boss so that we can be free," Theodore explained with a flat face.

"She would go that far? Isn’t that dangerous for her?" Roxanne couldn’t believe it when she heard Theodore’s words.

Although Roxanne didn’t know much about the state of the bodies of the awakened humans who had powers, she was sure that if Boss took Celia’s powers, then it would be hazardous for Celia.

Roxanne was actually disappointed with what Celia had done in selling their position to Boss, but still, she also felt unwilling if Celia did all that just to save them.

"Then, do you guys mind if we help Celia?" Like the rules they had made before, Theodore also asked the others first whether they should help Celia at this time.

"I don’t mind. It doesn’t seem like she intends to do that to us anyway," Roxanne replied, feeling that they needed to help Celia right now.

"But, we’re stuck in this situation because of her anyway. Let her bear the consequences." Geoffrey unexpectedly seemed to disagree with Celia’s rescue plan.

Roxanne also slowly turned to Geoffrey. She did not expect her younger brother to reject this plan because she saw that Geoffrey was quite close to Celia so far.

Now, the only person who has yet to cast his vote is Theodore. Roxanne and Geoffrey dramatically turned to Theodore to hear his opinion.

"Since I suggested this, of course, I agree. So we will help Celia and get out of this situation alive." Theodore grinned as he said that.

Geoffrey, who heard that, sighed, "So it was useless for me to say my opinion earlier," he said as he rolled his eyes lazily.

"Do you still remember where our car is?" Before taking action, Theodore made sure to check with both of them first.

"Yes, I still remember," Geoffrey replied quickly.

After hearing that, Theodore took out the car keys from his pocket and gave them to Roxanne.

"Your current task is to escape from here and find our car. I’ll take care of Celia and the situation here," Theodore explained in a low voice.

Roxanne and Geoffrey nodded their heads in understanding. They were not going to question whether or not Theodore could face the Boss and his men because the answer was obvious.

"They will definitely chase you, so use your weapons to deal with them as much as possible and escape as quickly as possible." Theodore gave his final warning.

"I understand," Roxanne and Geoffrey replied simultaneously while nodding their heads steadily.

The Boss didn’t really care about Theodore and the others. He was more focused on manipulating Celia so that she would be willing to give up her power to him.

By Celia giving up her powers, it could be said that she would work forever for Boss and have no possibility of being able to free herself again.

That’s why Celia was still hesitant because of all the people. She was the one who best understood what it meant when she decided to work for Boss.

Theodore took advantage of the situation to surprise the people who were holding them hostage. In one fell swoop, the ropes binding Theodore’s hands were released. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Followed by Roxanne, who already had a dagger in her hand to cut the ropes, she immediately helped Geoffrey to break free from the shackles in his hands.

Not giving others time to react, Theodore immediately uses his black sword to attack the person closest to him.

The Boss, who was not far from where Theodore was, immediately noticed this. He was furious with what they were doing.

"Why are you guys doing nothing! Go catch and beat that bastard up!" Boss roared with his eyes bulging angrily, ordering his men to beat up Theodore and his two friends.

Hearing Boss’s booming voice like that made Theodore grin. Feeling excited, he quickly activated his Sprint skill, and in an instant, he was already in front of Boss with a sword pointed at his neck. Thin blood could be seen flowing from Boss’s neck at this time.
