Seeing Huo Sining leaning against the wall, motionless, the lead thug's face darkened as he shook his head and signaled to the thugs beside him.
Those thugs immediately understood and surrounded Huo Sining.
Huo Sining felt tense inside, then suddenly looked past the thugs, to the alley behind, and shouted in surprise, "Miss Hattori!"
Upon hearing Huo Sining's words, the thugs instinctively turned their heads to look toward the alley entrance.
In the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the moment they turned, Huo Sining's lips moved slightly as she recited the Invisibility Spell.
The thugs didn't see Hattori Keiko at the alley entrance, realizing only then that they'd been tricked, but by then it was too late—the girl they surrounded had vanished without a trace.
The lead thug's face changed dramatically; it was a dead-end alley with nowhere to hide. The only possibility left was the more than two-meter-high wall.
