Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Fighting for Time

When Thor decided to flee, his actions were without any hesitation or delay.

Ronald clearly felt that after this guy walked out of the cabin, he quickly blended into the crowd and then jumped off from the side of the deck where there were fewer people.

Tonight, he was indeed simply caught for hard labor.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Ronald turned his gaze toward the mysterious practitioners in front of him.

Though Thor’s actions had been very obvious,

seeing that Ronald, the holder of the original, stood at the door, none of them dared to make a move directly.

After another period of silence, finally, a practitioner couldn’t resist and stood up.

After glancing at the ordinary person beside him, he addressed Ronald:

"Mr. Ronald, does tonight’s event mean that you are providing support for the Green Spots from behind?"

"If that’s really the case, then I voluntarily give up tonight’s action."

"..."

This person could be lying.

Although his tone was very serious and there were no flaws in his expression,

after using the power of ’Fury’ for several months, even if it wasn’t just pure anger, Ronald could somewhat subtly sense the general state of people’s psychological activities.

And the reaction of this man when he spoke.

It felt like that evasive and perfunctory attitude when someone is feigning politeness.

If Ronald straightforwardly stepped aside now, these people might immediately start pursuing Thor as soon as they left the "White Rose."

Although Ronald had great trust in Thor’s capabilities,

since he had promised to offer help, he might as well do his best to handle the situation.

"Volume Eleven, Page Two Hundred Sixty, Item Six ..."

"..."

After muttering the lie detector spell in a voice that only he could hear, Ronald gently swept his gaze over the others in the cabin, then immediately solidified his and the other party’s stance.

Being afraid of his status as the holder of the original, these practitioners would protect themselves by not allowing the last ordinary person to lose consciousness at any cost. In their view, if this ordinary person was lost, Ronald might immediately take action and capture them all at once.

Correspondingly, Ronald indeed had the capability to do so.

Take an example, it was like bank robbers holding hostages inside a bank while the police were already blocking the entrance.

However, for Ronald, there was one situation extremely favorable to him.

—the investigators had arrived.

In about five minutes, these genuine mystical side police would arrive by the cabin, and facing a scene where mystical side individuals had killed ordinary people, Ronald would naturally be able to relax.

What he needed to do now was to keep these people stable.

Just for a few minutes.

Having affirmed this, Ronald naturally replied:

"Sir, you can rest assured about this issue."

"My purpose here is merely to deal with some private matters, and earlier when you were chasing that young girl, something rather unpleasant happened at my place. My pathway crossing with the Green Spots was merely a convenience for coming here."

"As long as you leave the perpetrator behind now, I absolutely won’t interfere with what the rest of you do."

"..."

Ronald was very clear about the thoughts of these practitioners.

Ordinarily, they might sincerely cooperate with him to find the culprit.

But now, it was Thor who had just left with the original, and under the influence of their urgent emotions, they would start to get confused themselves.

As for the talk of finding the culprit, it would become their hindrance to stalling for time.

Things went exactly as Ronald had anticipated.

After he spoke, the expressions of these practitioners immediately changed, and then they began to look at each other with suspicion. Ronald’s words had made them quite nervous, but they had no proper reason to refute.

Everybody was taking risks to snatch the original.

No one could guarantee their own actions were clean.

Just then, an anxious-looking man pointed at the guy who had confronted the young girl earlier, and then spoke up:

"Mr. Ronald, it must have been this guy!"

"He’s capable of killing someone on the ship; it’s not surprising he could have done the same thing earlier!"

Immediately, someone who saw which way the wind was blowing chimed in:

"That’s right, I also think it was this guy."

"Mr. Ronald, we always respect someone as knowledgeable as you; how could we possibly do something that could cause you trouble!"

"..."

Subsequently, another person picked up the topic.

In just a few words, almost half of the practitioners seemed to have ’gifted’ the blame to that guy.

Yet this was a practitioner capable of killing ordinary people directly to drive them away.

Seeing that the conversation was turning against him, the guy immediately said loudly:

"If you think I’m crazy, I can treat you."

"Why I would act at this point, don’t you understand?"

"If you really want to impose an undeserved charge on me."

"Then today... we all go down together!"

While talking, this now anxious practitioner, taking advantage of his location, had already walked over to the ordinary person, and with one hand, pulled him up from behind the table, his fierce eyes telling everyone his intentions.

And seeing that the only ordinary person was controlled by this guy, immediately some practitioners looked nervously towards Ronald.

This was crucial to whether Ronald would take action.

Absolutely not to be lost.

"You don’t be impulsive!" Another person who hadn’t spoken yet finally moved, "Everybody calm down, don’t do anything ’out of line,’ understanding the true situation is the most important right now."

"That’s right, that’s right!"

Echoing this person’s conciliation, another practitioner immediately looked at Ronald and asked:

"Mr. Ronald, what exactly happened at your place?"

"I swear in the name of the Queen, we will handle it as quickly as possible!"

"..."

Seeing that these people had argued for a long time before switching the topic, Ronald’s face revealed a satisfied smile.

So, shrugging his shoulders, he explained in a light tone:

"Actually, the roof of the apartment I live in is in disrepair; someone just now broke some part of it, you just need to compensate a little."

With these words, Ronald stepped aside.

Accompanying his action, three fully equipped investigators immediately entered the cabin, one of them nodding slightly to Ronald in thanks, while the other two immediately aimed their guns at the people inside.

"Now, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

"Anyone who dares to make any move will bear the consequences!"

Seeing the situation in the cabin now, Ronald also affirmed one thing.

His work helping Thor buy time.

It shouldHave been successful.
