Chapter 244: What Assassin? Handicap

It did not take a long time for the two groups to meet. Henry and his group were moving around blindly while looking for any method that they could use to get out of this place.

On the other hand, the group of three was actually in the know in the direction which they were supposed to be looking for Henry and his group. So, they did not waste any time and approached them directly.

Although they were trying to control the killing intent that was leaking out of their bodies, they could not do that completely. For that reason, before they could even arrive before Henry and his group, Henry and his group had already noticed their presence.

For that reason, everybody became vigilant, ready to act. They had already been expecting that there was going to be another person other than the baldy that Julie had killed, so, they were not surprised the moment that they realized that there was someone else that was approaching them.

But, it was also during this moment that they realized that it seemed that the opponent already knew about the location that they were in. From this, they could infer that the enemy was monitoring every movement of theirs.

As for the three that were approaching, after realizing that Henry and his group had already noticed their presence, they did not hide anymore. Anyway, it was not as if they were afraid of this group.

Of course, they were a little careful as they had already witnessed the baldy getting killed. And, from the looks of it, he was actually killed by the lowest ranking member of the group.

For that reason, they believed that Henry and his group were actually so strong. But, since it was just the beginning of the second stage of the apocalypse, they believed that there was no way that Henry and his group were going to be so overpowered.

As for them, they were this strong because of the fact that they were not from this era. The strength that they currently possessed was something that they were having previously, and in fact, it had only depreciated recently during the time that they were away.

And after they woke up, they were not as strong as they were previously, but still, they maintained some strength that was way above the current power level of the human race at this stage of the apocalypse.

"Who is going to attack? I really don’t want to make a move right now. I only came here as a guarantee to make sure that we took care of this group." The guy with sharp eyes stated as he looked at Henry’s group with contempt clear in his eyes.

"That’s up to you. In any case, we are here to attack together. We don’t know the current power level that they possess, but we know that they are in the silver rank. So, we have to be cautious of them to make sure that we complete this mission well. You know if we fail, there’s going to be punishment for that." The lady with long hair stated.

As for the bulky guy, he did not say anything but just looked at Henry’s group. But of course, he was focusing on one person, and that was Julie. He was not willing to let her out of his sight considering that she was an assassin.

So, if they lost her for just a moment, then, they could be attacked at any point. So, it was better to keep an eye on her to make sure that she did not attack them when they were least expecting.

"Humph! Whatever! I already said that I’m here to guarantee that we complete the mission. So, you guys can go ahead and take care of them. Don’t tell me that you cannot take care of a group of brats now." The sharp eyes guy snorted as he responded.

"Can you shut up for moment? You are talking as if you are so strong as compared to us. But, you have to know that we are actually at the same level when it comes to combat strength. So, you better not try playing the superior role here." The bulky guy finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and spoke.

Of course, he did not try to move his eyes away from Julie. He made sure that no matter how long it took, he had to keep an eye on her. Currently, he was considering her as the hidden danger that could be easily underestimated considering the position that she was standing in.

After hearing what the bulky guy had said, the sharp eyes guy simply scoffed before remaining silent. But from the looks of it, it did not seem like he was going to make his move anytime soon.

...

Henry observed the three people that had appeared in front of them. One of them was a lady with black hair. It was just that, this hair was kind of unnatural considering that it was so long that it was already sweeping the ground.

And, the way that it was currently, it was actually already folded two times, but it was still sweeping the ground, indicating just how long it was.

Then, there was a bulky guy. This guy was not wearing any shirt, just a pair of pants and boots. His muscles could be seen clearly as several veins were popping on his skin. These veins were black in color, making him look a little bit sinister.

As for the last person, he was wearing an armor, something that stood out completely in the entire crowd. And other than that, he had the appearance of an elegant person with his eyes completely sharp.

His pupils were black in color, and they looked so tiny, but at the same time, they gave a person whom he looked at a crawling sensation on their skin, as if this person was completely evil.

Of course, Henry and the group were not just focusing on the outward appearance of the group. Instead, they had already focused on the information about this group.

But, what surprised them was the fact that this entire group was at the same power level. All of them were at level 9 of the silver rank. As for the skills that they possessed, they were kind of innate, but of course, all of them possessed the puppet creation skill. It was as if this was a must have skill for all the people that were related to this group.

"This time, let me take care of this group. You know, last time I did not have a chance of taking action before Julie here took care of that stupid guy." Adam stated as he began moving forward.

He really wanted to vent a little bit. He felt uncomfortable all along. Of course, they had been traveling for an entire day, but they had not actually taken action personally when it came to taking care of the monsters that they had met along the way.

Instead, the Jeep was the one that was taking care of them, just a single attack from the Jeep was able to take care of them. For that reason, Adam was feeling a little bit restless considering that he had not actually gotten a good fight in a while now.

Since this was a chance for him, he was not going to give up. As for Henry and the rest of the group, they did not object. In any case, to them, it was not as if it was a problem to them to take care of this group.

Of course, only Henry could see the skills that these people possessed. So, before Adam could go far, he told him the skills that the other party possessed in advance.

Of course, it was not as if he was not sure that Adam could take care of this group. It was just that, it was better to be cautious, rather than being reckless.

After hearing what Henry had said, Adam was a little surprised. He had not expected that Henry was actually capable of seeing skills that other people possessed. He was not the only one considering that both Olivia and Julie looked at him with surprise.

Of course, the one that was the most surprised was Julie. As for Olivia, she had already began getting used to the skills and abilities that Henry possessed. After all, she had been together with him since the first day of the apocalypse, so, she understood that there were a lot of things that could not be explained around Henry.

When the group of three saw that Adam was the one that was stepping forward, they could not help but be a little surprised. After all, they had been expecting that the group was going to attack them all together, but, surprisingly, it was only a single person that was coming forward.

"Let me take care of this brat. He seems to be more overconfident than the entire group." The bulky guy stated as he took a step forward. At the same time, he said to the lady, "Keep an eye on that assassin. We don’t want her to disappear again, do we?"

"What assassin are you talking about? I don’t see her." The lady asked in confusion. Of course, she had actually noticed that Julie was present during the time that they had arrived. But surprisingly, right now, she looked over, she could not see her.

After hearing what the lady had said, the bulky guy looked in the direction where Julie was in before, but he was surprised that she had already disappeared. He could not believe that she was that fast.

"Whatever. Just keep an eye on the surroundings and make sure that you subdue her the moment that she appears. As for me, I’ll take care of this brat first." The bulky guy shook his head and decided to focus on Adam first.

When Adam saw that the bulky guy was the one that was stepping forward, he was a little excited. After all, from the looks of it, this guy was also focusing on the physical strength.

But, he was not satisfied with that. So, he said, "Why don’t the three of you attack me at the same time? I don’t believe that this guy is going to be capable of dealing with me. What do you think of that handicap? I need a good fight right now."
