While Neia was the one who began the massacre by killing the first man, it was Samur who was going to finish it.

The hundreds of ice spears Samur had conjured in the air darted towards their targets with incredible speed.

Of course, the guards guarding the door were no pushovers. They were the elites, the best of the best 'lent' to Mr. Kidnappers aka Tristan.

Originally, Tristan wanted to take Lecia back to their HQ. There, he intended to put her under the highest level of security the HQ had to offer.

That way, even if Lecia's so-called comrades came to rescue her, Tristan would be able to repel them.

However, the leaders at the HQ thought differently. According to them, while Lecia was an incredibly valuable asset, it wasn't worth endangering their HQ.

After all, their HQ hid secrets far more important than a mere 'Lecia'.
