"FFFFFF-Felix, what are you...?"
Before Heloise could finish her sentence, Tyler had already hoisted her up around her waist and began to run.
With a swift leap, he used the head of one of Babur's minions as a stepping stone and vaulted over them. Heloise finally understood then that Tyler's intention wasn't to touch her butt in public; instead, he had lifted her to bypass this rabble swiftly.
Once on the ground, Tyler continued to carry Heloise, and within monts, they were far away.
By the ti Babur's gang had reacted, the young boy and girl had already vanished from sight.
.
After being set down, Heloise was still caught in the afterglow of bridal carry.
She hadn't expected that Tyler could lift her so effortlessly, and even jump so high while holding her.
— (Tyler... did you really only pass the "White Trial"?)
No matter how she looked at it, Heloise felt that Tyler's strength was undoubtedly above her own. She could only attribute this to his status as the "ssenger of the Benevolent Deity."
— (Oh, how I wish I could quickly awaken the power of the Nefarious Tiger King...:;(∩´﹏`∩);:)
"Heloise, there are so things I'd like to ask you; shall we walk and talk?"
"Hm? Okay."
Felix wanted to ask about the Earthly Ghost and the Shadow Serpent Society.
He first asked Heloise if she knew of an entity called the "Heavenly Ghost." She shook her head, stating she had never heard of this na.
Then, Felix asked if she knew an old man nad "Splurt." This ti, Heloise confird she had heard the na. He was said to be a low-level executive, but Heloise had never t Splurt in person.
Heloise told Felix that the Shadow Serpent Society did not have a fixed headquarters. They had countless branches scattered across various towns in different countries.
The branch where the tigern tribe was located was in "Rock Town," not far from Delis Town, but it was likely that it had been relocated by the Earthly Ghost by now.
The thought of her tigern tribe mbers still being deceived by the Earthly Ghost filled Heloise with rage.
She wanted to set off imdiately to find her tribe mates, but Felix told her it wasn't the right ti. If they rashly confronted the Earthly Ghost with just the two of them, they would likely fall into his trap.
Despite her resentnt, Heloise had to admit that she was not a match for the Shadow Serpent Society with her current strength.
In the society, apart from the Earthly Ghost, there were nurous high-level, mid-level, and low-level executives. Based on Heloise's current strength, she wouldn't even qualify as a low-level executive and could only serve as a reserve.
"Don't worry too much, Heloise. Since the Earthly Ghost is using the tigern tribe, he won't harm them in the short term," Felix comforted her, patting her head. Surprisingly, this simple gesture was enough to calm Heloise's anxious heart.
"What we need to do now is to beco stronger as quickly as possible. For that, we need to first cure the "Parasitic Blood Serpent" in your body and then strive to raid the labyrinth to acquire new power."
Hearing Felix's calm analysis, Heloise felt much better. She admired Felix's ability to maintain such a calm deanor at all tis.
(However, I wish he would be a little less calm when he's examining my body...,,Ծ‸Ծ,,)

Perched in the barren wilderness about twenty kiloters from Delis Town, a vulture stood in silence. It had been waiting there for nearly an hour.
Clearly, it was no ordinary vulture. Its peculiar behavior was due to being controlled by an entity known as the "Heavenly Ghost."
After half an hour, the Heavenly Ghost finally heard the voice he had been eagerly waiting for.
"Well done, you are a man of your word." (Evilkind Language)
The voice drifted from behind the Heavenly Ghost. Turning around, he saw a black mist that had mysteriously appeared.
The black mist hovered above the ground, neither dispersing nor moving, and the voice continued to emanate from within it.
"This vulture isn't your body, is it? This is truly an impressive feat, Lord Heavenly Ghost."
"The impressive one is you, Corki, the 'Invisible Assassin.' Your title is well-deserved."
Until the black mist appeared, the Heavenly Ghost had been continuously surveying his surroundings.
Given the 270-degree field of vision of the vulture, there should have been no way for sothing to suddenly appear behind him, yet this entity known as "Corki" had managed to do so.
And this was precisely what the Heavenly Ghost had wanted.
The "Invisible Assassin Corki" was a top-rated killer amongst the demons.
The reason Corki was ranked first was not due to his power, but rather his unique and nearly indefensible thod of assassination.
He didn't emit any murderous intent, nor did he leave any traces. Those killed by Corki often died clutching their throats or chests, as if struck down by a sudden illness.
The Heavenly Ghost had contacted Corki through a middleman and arranged to et at this location.
The Heavenly Ghost had arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed ti and had waited for one and a half hours.
Assuming that Corki had arrived on ti, that ant he had deliberately observed the Heavenly Ghost for an hour before revealing himself to ensure his safety.
Such a cautious and unguardable assassin was exactly the kind of individual the Heavenly Ghost needed.
If Corki wasn't so independent, the Heavenly Ghost would have loved to recruit him.
"Alright, let's get to the point, Lord Heavenly Ghost. What does your target look like?"
"He looks like this, rember well."
The Heavenly Ghost, manipulating the vulture's body, scratched a stern-looking young man's likeness into the ground with his talons.
"He used to have black hair, but now it's dyed brown. So don't be deceived by the hair color."
"Understood."
"As I ntioned earlier, this guy nad 'Banning' or 'Felix' is currently in Delis Town. My minions are watching him. If he leaves, I will contact your informant again."
"Understood."
"The timing of the assassination is up to you, but the sooner, the better."
"Understood."
Corki demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, carefully noting the employer's words. Then, when the Heavenly Ghost had finished speaking, Corki only had one thing to confirm.
"Lord Heavenly Ghost, I want to confirm with you one last ti. The target for this ti, his combat occupation level is below third tier, right? My rule is that I don't take orders for targets above third-tier."
"Rest assured, Corki. I've confird it. He has at most second-tier strength."
"Alright, then wait for the good news."
As he finished speaking, the black mist beca transparent in an instant and completely disappeared before the Heavenly Ghost's eyes.
The Heavenly Ghost looked around in astonishnt, fluttering about, but couldn't find any trace of Corki's departure.
He marvelled inwardly, the "Invisible Assassin, Corki" truly lived up to his reputation.
— (Banning, tomorrow will be your end.)
— (Sorry, Earthly Ghost, the credit for this ti... will be mine.)
