Looking at those guys getting closer and closer, Angelia's brain veins were almost bursting out.
She tried signaling towards Renault, hoping he would do something, but Renault completely ignored her small actions and was still busy on the other side of the shop, checking the last several kinds of goods.
In the face of these people who clearly did not intend to do anything peaceful, although Angelia wanted to act, this city was not a place where one could act casually. Of course, Statesec couldn't do whatever they wanted here.
Not to mention that among those people, there was more than one guy with a press card around his neck, and a few video drones were following them around.
Who knows if they had already started filming...
Seeing the approaching crowd, Angelia's heart complained about Renault, this troublesome guy who was just staring without helping.
But just as she turned her head back towards the store, she found that the large-as-a-doorplate Renault had disappeared!
Where is he?
This gift store had only one exit in the front and back, and although there was an employee aisle, the door was closed tightly, and she hadn't heard any movement indicating it had opened.
She had only turned her head back for a moment, not more than two seconds, and Renault had disappeared from her line of sight!
Astonished, Angelia looked towards Gentiane in the store, but found that Gentiane also had a shocked expression, showing she had reacted to what had happened.
On the contrary, the shopkeeper, smilingly counting the money, had completely not noticed that Renault had disappeared from his store.
Although she wanted to immediately get up and rush into the store to search, considering those guys who were about to walk up to her, Angelia held back and shouted towards Gentiane, "Gentiane, have you finished buying? Time is running out, I have to go back."
Hearing Angelia's call, Gentiane immediately came back to her senses, "Coming, coming!"
She wondered how Renault had disappeared into thin air.
The reason was already in front of her eyes: beside Angelia at that moment was a camera-wielding guy standing beside her, a reporter?
After thinking about it, Gentiane did not hesitate, directly picked up the doll she had just bought, and with a large shopping bag in the other hand, walked towards Angelia and Helian sitting at the door.
Originally, that reporter saw Angelia sitting in the doorway and intended to ask what had happened, but Gentiane squeezed him to the side, leaving his questions choked back.
"Alright, hurry up and send this drunk back to your headquarters. I still have to go back and take a shower." Tugging the mesmerized Helian, Angelia said this, turning around and walking in the direction of the G&K HQ.
Apart from those reporters who were approaching, the other guys with ulterior motives had already clenched various weapons in their hands, ready to arrest Renault, the owner of the airship. But after seeing that the one who came out of the store was a Griffin commander wearing the same type of uniform as Helian, they all turned away in disappointment.
Thinking that it wasn't Angelia who had discovered the situation but was just accompanying her friend to buy something?
"Hey, what just happened? Where's that bastard Renault?"
After walking a little farther, Angelia couldn't wait to inquire towards Gentiane.
Although she knew that Renault have some strange abilities, this time he almost disappeared under her nose!
If she didn't ask this matter clearly, her heart would be as restless as if a hundred claws were scratching it!
"Eh, this, actually, I didn't see it too clearly either. I just slightly inclined my head and saw Commander Renault start to become transparent, just like...." Gentiane looked around, confirming there was no one around to overhear, before she continued.
However, halfway through her words, Gentiane realized that something was distorting the air beside her...
"What?"
Angelia looked towards the direction of Gentiane's gaze. She also noticed that the air beside Gentiane didn't seem quite right.
The scene over there seemed like it had been refracted by some kind of lens, creating a slight distortion compared to the normal scene.
"What is it!?"
Noticing the abnormality, Angelia immediately tugged Helian to jump away from her original position, looking over there vigilantly, her hand already resting on the matching gun at her waist.
"Good eyes, don't stop, keep going."
Seeing that both of them had noticed the abnormality, Renault no longer hid and directly took out a cigarette and lit it.
Gentiane and Angelia watched as the cigarette in mid-air suddenly lit up with an orange-red bright spot, and couldn't help but feel a sense of creeping dread...
If Renault were an enemy, they might have died many times over by now...
Frightened, the two did not make a sound to ask questions. They watched as Renault, from the shadows of a street, walked out and suddenly appeared!
The two were close enough to still feel surprised, but from a distance, it would seem as if Renault had simply walked out from the shadows.
"Renault, what kind of outrageous technique is this? Don't tell me you're from an alien race."
Seeing Renault reappear, Angelia immediately looked Renault up and down with a curious gaze.
Of course, it wasn't the first time she had seen Renault's unusual abilities. This guy could walk through heavily polluted areas without wearing any protective equipment, and now he could be invisible. It didn't seem so strange.
However, Angelia was more willing to believe that this was actually some kind of device on Renault's body that had taken effect. After all, there was technology that could make one invisible, but those devices usually required a lot of energy support.
Like Renault who didn't wear any external equipment. Being able to make his entire body along with the cigarette in his hand, invisible, was a technology she had never heard of.
"Don't think about it, you can't use it."
He didn't have any invisibility technology that could be used on humans, but most of the ones he had required psionic energy to support them.
However, he can consider the dolls; next time he replaced their bodies, he could consider adding invisibility tech to them.
"Ah!"
Angelia blankly glanced at Renault and raised her hand to tug on Helian who was about to slide down.
It wasn't known whether it was the tug that made Helian wake up or if it was the guy's stress reaction to hearing Renault's name...
Helian who was in a daze all along suddenly stared up!
"Renault! Renault, where! Where is this heartless guy!?"
