The Goddess Of War
Chapter 88 - Again, Stalker

As Anna had requested, Ren and Yola Silvia were already waiting for her near the Academy gate.

Anna promises Yola to meet her brother today.

While Ren, because Anna happens to want to go to the lab, he invites Ren to go together because they have the same destination, the flower shop where Rin's business is.

While still at the Academy cafe, Ren tells Anna that he will go pick up Rin after the lesson is over.

After they had gathered near the Academy gates, the three students finally ordered a taxi for transportation to go to the flower shop which was only 1 hour drive from the Academy.

°°°

There are a lot of things that Yola wants to ask Anna about her sister. But because Anna was the boss of her brother, she hesitated to do so and only kept those questions in her heart.

She thought that she would also find out later from her brother.

In addition, Yola also became a little afraid of Anna, after she saw the girl finish off Luke Stewart and Milena Williams with just one buzz.

Along the way, Anna exchanges messages via her smartphone to Gina and Miyuki. They were the only close friends Anna had right now.

After the taxi entered the block which was still some distance away from the flower shop and the underground laboratory, Anna asked the driver to stop at the place and drop them there.

"Why do we stop here?" Ask Ren.

"You'll know later. Come with me first." ask Anna to Ren and Yola.

Anna took the two to a small cafe that was in a rather quiet location. It was a cafe that he often visited when he lived in his apartment which was only 5 buildings away from the place.

Before entering the cafe, Anna stopped and stood for a while to observe the situation around the cafe which is a slightly worn-out old-fashioned shopping building.

Just silent for 1 minute in front of the cafe, Anna finally invites them to go inside and order a drink.

As usual, Anna ordered hot chocolate which later became her favorite drink.

After their order is served, Anna takes Ren and Yola to a chair on the terrace of the cafe to enjoy the quiet night view and the cool night breeze.

That's the reason Anna gave them to take them sitting there.

Actually, there is another reason that makes him choose to sit outside the cafe.

°°°

Unlike in the city center, the suburban area is completely deserted even though it is still 8 pm.

The air pollution that so filled the air of the city center was also not so pronounced in that place.

Since the city center was moved to a new area that was far from the outskirts of the city, this suburb, which was previously the center of the city, now gradually had clean air.

The density of vehicles that used to be there, automatically moved to downtown C, where offices and large guilds now stand.

"Anna, are we waiting for my sister?" asked Yola who seemed impatient to meet her brother who had been missing for 1 month without news.

"certain." Anna then smiled softly at Yola. Just as Yola was about to speak again, Anna raised one hand and gave a code to hold Yola to keep her quiet. "Wait a minute."

Shortly after Anna spoke, a group of men in casual clothes approached them.

The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the entourage, who was wearing a black suit, pointed at the CCTV that was precisely highlighting where they were, then ordered a subordinate of his to go inside the cafe.

Anna actually did choose the place because it was highlighted by CCTV cameras. For this reason, he monitored the situation around before entering the cafe.

Anna had also known that there were people following them since the taxi they were riding in came out from the Academy's outer gate.

Anna was not at all surprised or confused whether the two cars that always followed the taxi she was riding in were really following her, because she could see firsthand who the people who had followed her were.

By giving her focus to both eyes, Anna could see anyone who was in the car trailing them.

Because of this, Anna asked for a taxi to stop at a location a little far from the flower shop so that the people did not know the location of the underground laboratory.

As the man who was ordered to turn off the new CCTV camera walked a few steps towards the main door of the cafe, he suddenly collapsed and collapsed without them all knowing what the cause was.

"What's going on? What's wrong with her?"

Rudyard Lau asked the other man.

One of them finally went to check on his partner. He was surprised when he saw the jawbone of his colleague who fell face down was shifted.

Unbeknownst to them, Anna flicked the tissue paper she had clumped up to the size of a marble on the man.

°°°

But, he could still suppress his panic when he saw the calmness on Anna's face. He knew, not without reason that the girl was calm in their current situation.

From the calmness that was seen on Anna's face, he guessed that Anna knew creepy people who were currently surrounding their table and she also guessed that Anna had the confidence to overcome the problems that might befall them.

"They seem to be stronger than those Minotaurs, but it seems like Anna is not afraid of them." Ren thought, trying to calm himself down.

Ren knew, they were powerful Hunter-hunters. His body even trembled just because it affected the Mana energy of the people around him.

And so is Yola.

"It's okay. They're just lost people." Sahut Anna in a soft voice while staring at Ren and Yola alternately. "Drink while watching the show that will happen later."

°°°

"Mr Lau, I'm glad you came alone to turn yourself in" Anna said without looking at the middle-aged man's face.

Although his words were threatening, everyone could hear there was a hint of sadness from his tone.

Anna used to have a good look at Rudyard Lau.

As he was about to meet his father and was always rejected due to the bustle of the Black Diamond guild leader, Rudyard Lau always accompanied him and spoke kindly to Anna to replace the girl's father.

Rudyard Lau had always been an extension and messenger of Anna's message, when she was about to ask for help or talk important things to her father, until Anna finally felt closer to Rudyard than to her own father.

Today, forcedly, Anna will drag Rudyard Lau down because of the trouble Cassey caused.

Therefore, Anna was not comfortable to look directly at Rudyard's eyes.

Anna still feels a sense of closeness to the middle-aged man, who has devoted himself to the Lloyd family since he was a teenager.

Anna finally stood up and walked over to the strongest man who was among the besiegers.

"I'm actually uncomfortable with having to catch you myself. Who would have thought you could escape Wang Zhu Ming," Anna said. His face looked sad when he said that.

"J-so... You know that man Wang Zhu Ming?" Rudyard Lau was now aware that it was no coincidence that Anna spoke in front of Wang Zhu Ming about her plight. He was now convinced that the girl had framed him.

"It is precisely me who wonders why you do not recognize the most famous Hunter in Southeast Asia. It should have been..," Anna took a slow breath before continuing her sentence. "You should be in retirement by now. You've even lost focus on the important people in the Hunter world."

His tone did not sound like a mockery at all. Even Rudyard Lau could capture sympathy for the girl's voice.

Anna felt sympathy for the middle-aged man, who later had to spend his retirement in Hunter Prison.

Ignoring Anna's true feelings being conveyed to him, Rudyard Lau switched the conversation and immediately conveyed his purpose.

"Miss Anna. If you want to come with us properly, I promise I will not use violence on you" Rudyard Lau said threateningly.

Anna ignored him too. He hadn't even looked at his father's personal assistant since then, even though he was talking to her.

Anna still felt Rudyard was a person who had always been kind to her, even though he had just blatantly threatened her.

Anna instead looked at the man before her whom she knew to be the Hunter with the greatest Mana energy among the people Rudyard Lau had brought with him.

Anna already knew the man's face from the list of Black Diamond Hunter guilds she had searched through the guild's official website.

"Mr Maxim Williams, right? Wait, is Milena Williams your daughter?" anna asked the burly man.

His height is almost 2 meters. Anna even had to look up to look into her eyes.

Maxim frowned when he heard his daughter's name called.

"You... Are you the one who's been having trouble with Milena today?" ask Maxim who is suspicious.

Earlier this morning, Milena contacted her and asked her father's men to investigate someone by the name of Anna.

At the time, Rudyard Lau happened to be with Maxim for his help getting rid of the man they thought was Gina's hire who always kept them from taking Anna.

The next day, before the game began, Milena finally sent a photo of Anna she had taken secretly, to her father.

Maxim, who was around Gina's apartment at the time, was waiting for the person Rudyard was referring to, showing Rudyard his picture and asking the middle-aged man for help to find information about the person in the photo of his daughter.

Rudyard was completely shocked when he saw the face in the photo Maxim showed him.

It was then that Rudyard found out that Anna was in the Academy and he finally took his entourage to the Hunter Academy and waited for Anna outside the gates.
