Capture
The next moment, the large group emerged from the mist and came swarming over.
Feeling her heart sink, Derila watched them with a frown.
There were hundreds of members of the Mafia who were all armed with a weapon each. The moment they saw Daemon, their leader signaled for all of them to stop.
Despite the fact that Daemon was alone, they were still fearful of walking into a trap.
As a result, they approached him warily while holding tightly onto their guns.
Meanwhile, Daemon was unfazed as he swept his gaze across the men as if he weren't the one that they were looking to kill.
The Mafia's leader spoke in Ustranasion, "Mr. Lierger, the pastor wants you to be captured alive. As long as you give yourself up without a fight, we will not make things difficult for you."
"Is that so?" Daemon broke into a smirk. "As of now, it isn't clear who it is that will be captured without a fight."
"Erm…" Stumped, the leader of the Mafia added coldly, "I'm surprised that you can still be feisty under such dire circumstances. Now that your subordinates can't make it here in time, you are all alone. Regardless of how powerful you are, there's no way you can beat us."
"Haha…" Daemon burst into devious laughter, as if they were nothing but ignorant insects.
Consequently, his reaction unsettled the members of the Mafia further.
One of them asked their leader softly, "Boss, can this be a trap?"
"That's right. I heard the Liergers have many battle-hardened bodyguards under them. How can it be that he is alone?"
"Given that the Liergers are a famous warrior family, there's no way we can defeat them that easily. Therefore, is he trying to lure us into a trap?"
The situation perturbed many members of the Mafia. Despite facing Daemon with a force that numbered more than a hundred, none of them dared to attack him.
In fact, their leader was stricken with fear just by looking at Daemon. After all, he had seen for himself what Daemon was capable of at Casino Inferno. Thus, he was cognizant that the latter wasn't a normal human being at all.
Why is he keeping such a low profile today? Can it really be a trap?
The leader instructed softly, "Go around and check if there's an ambush."
"Yes, boss." His subordinates did as they were told.
At that moment, Derila knitted her brows while watching from amongst the trees. She didn't understand what Daemon was trying to do.
"Mr. Lierger, please put down your gun and come with us."
The leader aimed his gun at Daemon. Despite the uneasiness he felt, he was sure that they could still deal with an ambush due to their overwhelming numbers.
That was where he derived his courage from.
"Okay!"
Unexpectedly, Daemon didn't resist. Hanging his gun by his finger, he gradually walked up to them with a smile.
His calm and cooperativeness unsettled the leader and his subordinates instead.
Upon the leader's hand signal, his men pointed their guns at Daemon, worried about the tricks he may pull out of his sleeve.
Meanwhile, hidden in the trees, Derila was filled with anxiety.
Is he really going to surrender? What if he gets captured? Who's going to pay for his hundred million medical fees?
Just when she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard an agonizing scream.
The next moment, the leader was captured by Daemon. The latter had one arm around his neck and the other pointing a gun at the leader's head. He thundered, "Back off!"
Everyone was dumbstruck by the sudden turn of events, for they had their guns pointed at Daemon all the time and didn't realize when he held their leader hostage.
His movements were so swift that they had missed it the moment they blinked.
Everyone was stunned by Daemon's threat.
"Mr. Lierger, there's no point in holding me hostage. With so many of us around, there's no escape for you."
Regaining his senses, the leader tried his best to put up a strong front.
"You're mistaken." Daemon's eyes glistened as he looked out toward the horizon. "I have no plans to flee."
