Luke was naked in the bathtub filled with cold water and Roberta was massaging his shoulders. “So, what are we going to do? Do we stay hidden here or do you have a plan?” Luke asked. "We're not going to stay here for long because they'll find us eventually. I'm gonna make some calls and see if I can get help from old associates. The plan is to leave Nolan City and go into hiding. It's good that we're in the Southern Residential Area which is closer to the city entrance. The entrance is roughly fifteen thousand kilometres away from here, we just have to escape.” said Roberta. “Fifteen thousand kilometres? That's roughly a week if I spend most of the time running. Alright, you make your calls and prepare everything, my job is to protect you.” … “Damn it! I can't reach any of my associates, both Rachel and Hugh and they were the ones I was depending on to get me out of this mess!” Roberta shouted in frustration. Luke then hugged her waist from behind and perked her neck. “Calm down, we're gonna figure it out, the two of us, alright?” “Luke, it's not alright. A day spent here is danger getting closer to us. We must leave this place as soon as possible otherwise our lives are at risk.” “Since no one is going to help us, how about we escape on our own. I was thinking that we can use the sewers to esc…” “ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'LL NOT BE SWIMMING IN EXCREMENT JUST TO ESCAPE, I'D RATHER DIE!” said Roberta with an extremely solemn expression. “Okay, okay, the sewer system plan is out of the way. My plan B is that we disguise ourselves then slowly make our way towards the entrance.” “Disguise ourselves? But I don't know anything about disguises.” “I do,” “You do? You know how to disguise yourself?” “Of course, I read about it in a book that I found a few months ago, it's quite simple really.” … “Captain, how sure are you that they're not gonna use the sewerage system as an escape route?” “Hahaha, we're hunting one of Nolan's richest women, do you think she'd be willing to swim in excrement just to survive? I highly doubt that. Let's just follow the hound and let it lead us to the target.” A group of twelve people were chasing after two dogs that were running in front. These people were all big and muscular, bigger than even bodybuilders but their speed was incredibly fast. The direction the dogs were running in was the same direction Luke had used a few days ago. Soon, the group of twelve men reached the less crowded area, catching the attention of the pedestrians who stopped to watch the commotion. The two dogs that were around one metre tall and about 1.3 meters long stood outside a beautiful house and whimpered, their tails tucked between their legs. “Why won't they go inside?” someone asked. “I also don't know but we have to be careful. I heard that the target’s bodyguard is quite capable so be on high alert.” The group then surrounded the house like a police task force, kicked open the door and flooded into the house but the house was completely empty. There were traces that people were living here and had left not long ago but besides that, they couldn't find anything else. “They're gone! We must find them as soon as possible! Get the dogs to circle around the neighbourhood, I'm sure they'll sniff out something, do it now!” “Yes Captain!” ‘Damn it, I don't like playing these cat and mouse games, why can't targets just stay in one place so I can capture them.’ … “Hehe, it worked, it worked! Luke, your plan actually worked!” “I told you that it would work, didn't I? Next time, be sure to trust the process otherwise you'll ruin my plans.” Luke and Roberta were currently inside a low class carriage but their style of clothing was completely different, especially Roberta's. Luke was wearing leather boots, leather pants and a shirt, his hair cut very short and his facial appearance was that of an innocent and ignorant young man from the backward villages. Roberta on the other hand looked like a granny with her black boots, long woollen
