Can I really keep my Goddess Wife to myself and away from all the Crazy OP MCs - 56 Chapter 55.
(POV little Han)
“Eh? What was that? You said it was a false alarm? The prison break ended with no criminals escaping? Are you serious? A wall in the shower room collapsed while they were bathing and experts believe they didn’t escape due to the shame of running about the streets in their birthday suits?”
“What the hell?! Give us some interesting news! Useless reporters. Ehem. I apologize dear viewers, it looks like I got your hopes up for nothing. Moving on… Eh? What? More breaking news? Are you sure this time? Man discovered near death after dropping soap in the prison that had it’s wall collapse?”
“Can we even broadcast that? Are you crazy? You have pictures? There’s even a recording? What?! No! We can’t air that! You’re doing it anyways? What? I’m taking responsibility if things hit the fan? No way! Stop kidding me!”
It was then the picture on screen changed to a man pushed against the ground with a large black man on top of him from behind. What are they doing?
“Big sisters, what is that black man doing?”
They glared at me like I was asking a stupid question.
I really don’t get it. Everything is blurry and you can’t really make anything out.
After hearing the terrifying wails of despair coming from the man on the ground for a few minutes the cries eventually died down. The two figures parted and the black figure walked over to another person and it looked like he was handing something over to him.
The other man appeared to drop it but managed to miraculously catch it with his foot and kick it back into the air. The black man jumped up like he was going to smack it away but the other man acted quickly and went to his back and looked like he was going to karate chop him from behind.
The black man turned around quickly and caught his arm but the other man poked out with his free hand and stabbed him in the eyes.
After that the wall collapsed and a figure could be seen in the video footage. He said some lines that were censored, raised his shades and walked away without looking back at the dust as it cleared away.
I had to admit, he looked really cool. I took note of it in my heart and decided I would one day pull off a similar exit one day.
After that the recording cut off and what happened after was probably as the broadcaster reported.
“Dear viewers, that was quite the graphic scene. Please don’t flood us with complaints. It’s not my fault, I swear! Eh? What did you say? Our ratings are at an all time high right now? I’m getting a promotion?”
“… Hell yeah! Take that beautiful, busty, female, late night broadcaster! I bet you’re green in the face now! Ha you didn’t want to sleep with me? Take that! Ah. Sorry viewers, I got a bit excited there, please forget everything you just heard.”
“This just in, more breaking news. Wait. Are you serious? I’m getting tired. Can we call it a day? I don’t want to do any more work. I want a vacation.”
“Lets see, hmm? Mysterious man in black suit with cool shades who was starring in an action movie outside of a prison flees the scene of the crime after detonating a bomb? Reveals a shocking revelation to the cops at the scene? Hot damn! Live footage too?!”
(POV aide of crown prince, Ten Jo)
Hah, this idiot crown prince. Why are you not escaping? I went through all that effort just to break you out and you’re not coming?! What was the point of this whole act I put together?!
I worked really hard to get to where I was you know. It wasn’t easy beating out all those people to get this role that would allow me to bust you out. I sacrificed a lot, i’ll have you know! The lead actor in a certain action movie had an “unexpected accident” and I just happened to show up to save the day.
How I even got to this point was a true mystery even to myself. You might wonder where I got this fancy suit and a bomb, right? Well forget about that for now, I’ll be honest, at this point I have something I want to do even more than bust the crown prince out. There’s something that has been scaring me for some time now.
To get a better understanding of how all this came to be, we would have to rewind time back to yesterday when my group made our great escape from that bank.
…
The sun was still high in the sky shining down on my face. I felt warm all over my body and It would truly have been a wonderful moment if it wasn’t for all the annoying weeeeewooooo sounds in the background. There were a few cars not too far behind me chasing me down.
That stupid liar! He said he would delay the reaction from their side. Then what is this? I knew that jerk was going to stab me in the back as soon as he had the chance.
While I ran along the streets I zigzagged from left to right to prevent them from getting a clear shot at me with their guns. After the first encounter with their guns I thought of everything I could to find a weakness. The only thing I realized was, as long as I had a visual on them and I could move out of the way before they pulled what looked to be a trigger, I could avoid taking any damage.
That of course required me to see them though.
When I was running at high speed like this I didn’t have the time to do that. The best I could think of was running in a zigzag pattern like this to avoid staying in their line of sight. As a peak semi transcendent realm cultivator I was capable of speeds up to two hundred miles per hour.
I was no match for the car the crown prince had stolen but these cops weren’t a match with their vehicles when matched against my nimble moves. I could easily make turns at high speed while they would have to constantly slow down to speeds similar to that of a turtle.
They could not keep up even in their dreams.
While I was getting overconfident thinking their guns really weren’t that scary after all, a sudden sense of extreme danger overcame me. While I was moving at high speed I felt a horrible foreboding feeling approaching at high speed from far away directly in front of me.
I don’t know what it was, it may have been my body’s instincts to survive, but while I was still in motion I bent backwards at a right angle while I continued onward with my forward momentum at high speed. It was then a large projectile just narrowly passed over in front of my eyes horizontal to me.
Oh my god! That thing is scary! I almost lost my little life from negligence. I was once again reminded not to underestimate these mortals. I don’t know what that was, or how I did not detect the person who shot that. All I could determine was they were extremely far away.
Sweat broke out all over my body and I quickly ducked into an alleyway at the side of the street and made countless twists and turns to make sure they would have no chance of catching me.
I was like a frightened rabbit fleeing for its life. How did a mighty cultivator like me fall to this level when facing these little mortal ants?
This is too scary! Do I really have to save that idiotic crown prince? At this point, I decided to just drop the stupid bags filled with money. They weren’t worth anything to me now that the cop’s accomplice got their share. That should be more than enough to bail that idiotic crown prince out of prison.
While I was in the alley way I noticed there was a ladder leading towards the roof. I naturally decided to climb it to try and dodge their pursuit. However, to my horror a flying object appeared overhead while I was climbing the ladder. I could see what looked to be a man with a long barrelled gun pointing directly at me.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger I jumped off of the ladder towards the wall of the building adjacent to me.
I just narrowly avoided the projectile as my heart leapt through my chest. I kicked off of the wall with my left foot towards the building with the ladder and repeated the process of zigzagging back and forth between the walls as I made my way upwards towards the flying object with spinning blades that was overhead.
I managed to land on the roof of the building, but before I could make an attempt to assault that flying object, it put distance between us to my horror.
“Fight fair and square you dirty cheater! Get over here and have a good old fist fight with your great grand daddy!”
“Pft, dumbass.”
Are they mocking me? Are they? You dare? I’m an aide to the crown prince of the Celestial Empire! Since when have I ever been looked down upon like this?
I let the blood rush to my head as I set my sights on the object that hovered a bit above the building across from me.
I exchanged glances with the man holding the long barrelled gun, it was like we came to some sort of understanding.
Both our eyes turned serious and it seems we had some sort of mutual understanding. I understood clearly, this man would not come closer to me, ever. He clearly understood if I got my hands on him I would squash his little head out of existence.
Once the two of us had acknowledged our opponent, I made the first move. I madly sprinted towards the edge of the roof towards the roof the flying object was above.
The man holding the long barreled gun reacted quickly like a trained veteran and stared down what looked to be a scope attached to the long barrelled gun and took aim. He held his breath and calmed his heart.
I had an intense sense of dread at the change in his atmosphere like I was looking at a dragon hidden in a deep pond getting ready to bare his fangs.
I felt if things played out as they were I would be doomed. It was then I made a quick decision. I punched out heavily on the ground destroying the ground beneath and sending debris flying everywhere high up in the air in the direction of the flying object the man was in.
He was slightly startled and shouted out, “what the hell?! That’s cheating!” But he quickly regained his composure and said, “up” to the man who appeared to be controlling the flying object.
The flying object started to ascend higher up in the air while I had already begun to make my move. I continued running across the collapsed ground towards the edge of the building I had sent the debris flying towards.
When I reached the air I made a grand leap of fate towards the debris that was still increasing in height in the direction of the flying object. The man once again took aim, but this time I felt confident. I was no longer merely heading in a straight line after all. I quickly pushed off the piece of debris I was on and jumped to other large pieces in the air.
I jumped around the air like a trained acrobatic while I pushed off left and right and zigzagged through the scattered pieces in the air. To the man in the flying object I’m sure I looked like a god ascending the nine heavens. With serious looks on our faces we clashed. The man didn’t give up so easily and began to rapidly fire towards my direction while we had our great dance of dodging and attacks.
Bang. Bang. Bang. BaBang!
Five bullets came flying in rapid succession towards me. One was aimed at me directly, while the other four were aimed at positions I could flee towards.
“Naive!”
I grabbed ahold of a piece of debris that was in the air beside me and kicked off another.
I threw the debris to intercept the path of one of the bullets. You may wonder how I accomplished this. Naturally I reacted before he shot the bullet I was aiming to block with the rock.
When he fired the first bullet I had already reacted, grabbed the rock and threw it in the path of where he aimed to fire the second bullet that was intended to seal my path of retreat.
When it was blocked I had naturally kicked off towards that direction.
“Tch. Damn flying monkey man.”
Bang. Bababang!
He fired in rapid succession slightly flustered at having his first wave of attacks countered so skillfully.
Everything happened almost instantly in our showdown fought between life and death.
When the man had fired out nine times he finally stopped. He said regretfully, “you’re lucky I didn’t think it would take so many shots. I was too confident in my skills and only brought one magazine.”
“We’ll definitely have a rematch! Next time, I’ll make sure to bring a few more magazines you freak of nature. Don’t get killed our caught until then!”
“You think you can escape just like that?”
“Of course. We can fly, what can you do to stop us?”
He was right, the momentum of the debris had already stopped their ascent and had begun to fall back down to the ground. There was nothing more I could do at this point, but I couldn’t just let these cocky little mortals have their way and escape scot-free.
I decided to use a forbidden technique that would leave me in a weakened state. Like hell I’m going to do that! Do you think I’m a moron?! Instead I turned around and pushed off strongly on a piece of debris and made my escape.
The debris I kicked off of was sent flying towards the flying object in the sky and got lodged in and damaged the rotating blades above it. I looked back and saw that smoke was coming out from the top of the slightly damaged flying object and it descended back towards the ground.
“Hmmp! You got away lucky little mortal brat with the big gun. I’ll remember you!”
I turned away and leapt from building to building and finally managed to lose the cops that were pursuing me. Without their eyes in the sky it looks like they had lost their means of following me. I was curious how they had managed to track me the entire time when I was so much faster than them.
They kept magically appearing from around the corners all the time scaring me half to death.
By travelling across the top of the roof tops and without any flying objects chasing after me I was finally free.
