Conquering The Game's World-Chapter 148 Hidden Shed!

At his words, everyone nodded with a serious expression. Then Mira suggested. "My home is close by, so we can just get my hover car to go there." To this, everyone agreed without hesitation. After all, this option was way better than running all the way there.

As they were about to leave the café, Diana spoke up. "Ah! What about the professor? Shouldn't we call her as well?"

Alicia just glanced sideways at her and said, "We shouldn't. She told us only to call her when we needed her help. What if she counts this as our loss? You don't want to risk losing our rewards. Right?"

To this, Diana nodded in understanding and said in amazement. "You are so smart, Alicia. I almost made such a stupid mistake."

"As long as you understand." Alicia's lips curled up slightly in satisfaction.

Luis, on the side who heard their conversation, sighed. 'It seems the professor is already on Alicia's bad side. Now, I guess she is going to have a hard time if she decides Alicia as a subject for her direct guidance.'

Some distance behind them, Olivia also heard everything, and her brows twitched in annoyance. 'Did you truly understand, Diana? And Alicia, what kind of grudge do you have against me? Is it okay to treat your professor like this when I just teased you a little? Shouldn't you show some respect towards this beautiful professor of yours?'

She complained, but as she saw them leaving, she also followed them behind.

While riding in Mira's Hover Car, Luis and the others left for the south forest towards that hidden shed. Although the kidnappers haven't been confirmed yet, the current situation and suspicions point to those humans as the most likely suspects. In addition, there are also those drums made of anti-scan materials that concern them.

Olivia also followed them by running all the way. Though, given her rank, this much speed was nothing for her. Rather, she had to slow down herself to their level.

Some minutes later, when they were just around 400 meters away from the location. Luis asked Mira to stop the Hover Car.

"Are we there?" Diana asked as she looked around, not finding the shed anywhere. "Their stealth artifact is so powerful. I can't see it at all." She said with caution.

Alicia rolled her eyes and said, "… We are still some distance away from the shed."

"!?" Diana turned around abruptly. Then, seeing Alicia's serious expression, she looked at Luis and asked. "We aren't there yet! Then why did you ask Miss Mira to stop?! Hurry! We need to save those children!"

With a concerned look on her face, she implored him to take action. She was both worried about the children's safety and eager to confront the kidnappers.

"Calm down for a second," Luis said. Then pointed in the direction they had to go. "Do you want us to just barge there with the Hover Car? We are here to rescue, remember? We can't alert those kidnappers until we can ensure the safety of the kids."

"Huh? Kids?" Diana was confused. "Didn't the scan show there were only five humans inside? Where are the kids?"

Luis rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache from her continuous questions. 'Just why is this na?ve girl one of the top students on the entrance exam?' Then, thinking of her written test result, which was barely over the passing mark, he calmed down and reminded her.

"Did you forget the drums?"

For a moment, Diana was confused, but then she realized something, and her expression turned furious. "No way! Are you telling me they are keeping the kids inside those drums?!"

"Possibly."

At this answer, Diana gritted her teeth while Mira's eyes drooped with worry.

Luis understood their current mood. Because he was also angry. He also wanted to save those kids. However, he was sane enough to not make a rash decision.

So, taking a deep breath, Luis turned to Mira and said, "Miss Mira, you please stay here and wait for us. Once we complete the rescue, we will call for you."

With those words, he was about to get out of the Hover Car, but Mira grabbed his arm to stop him. "Mr. Luis, please save my Ashly. She is the only family I have left in this world. I don't want to lose her."

Hearing this, with a slight smile on his face, Luis clasped the hand that was grabbing him and assured her. "Don't worry, Miss Mira. We will bring your daughter back to you."

When Mira heard his assuring words and saw the confident smile on his serious face. The worry in her heart slightly diminished. She had a feeling that she should trust this handsome young man in front of her. That he would do what he had promised to her and bring Ashly back.

Alicia also patted Mira's back and said, "Have some confidence in us and fix your face. You don't want to reunite with your daughter looking like that, right?"

"Huh?" Confused, Mira looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen because of excessive crying. Dried up tears and her pale face because of worry and stress. From the dark circles under her eyes, it was obvious she hadn't slept yet since her daughter was kidnapped. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Was I looking like this all this time?" She mumbled. In reply, Alicia just quietly nodded.

"You are right, Miss Alicia. I shouldn't look like this when I meet my daughter." Mira said with a forced smile on her face. No matter what she says. In her heart, she can never stop worrying until she sees her daughter with her own eyes.

The others also understood that, so they didn't console her further and left the Hover Car. Just after they left, Olivia appeared beside Mira. "I thank Miss Mira for assisting my students."

Her sudden appearance surprised Mira, but she panicked only for a moment, then calmed down when she heard Olivia's words.

With a doubtful expression, she asked once again to confirm. "Are you their teacher?"

"Yes, I am."

Mira wanted to beg Olivia to do this mission along with those youngsters and save the children. But Olivia spoke first. "You don't have to make any requests to me. Even if I let my students complete this mission. I am not irresponsible enough to put the children in danger. All the children will be safe, that I can guarantee you."

When Mira heard this, her heart was a little more relieved as she asked.

"Um, then, can you tell me why you suddenly appeared here?"

As she saw the doubtful expression on Mira's face, Olivia smiled and spoke. "Oh well, it's nothing much. I just wanted you to do me a favor."

Amidst the lush greenery of the dense forest, teeming with the vibrant sounds of nature, three figures could be seen darting past the tall, bare trees. With their hurried but silent steps through the woods, they made their way towards a secluded shed, hidden away from the prying eyes, using artifacts. Though, even after all that caution. They were still found.

Luis and the girls approached the shed while hiding their presence and now were only 30 meters away from it. That is when Luis signaled for them to stop.

He tapped on his mana bracelet and turned on the screen of number 50.

'They are still resting, or probably waiting for something or someone. From their looks, it doesn't seem like they have found us.'

'Hmm, with this we can judge that they all are below C rank, and they have no one with powerful sensing abilities among them.'

'Sigh, I better get that power-sensing skill soon. It's too troublesome when I can't judge the strength of the enemy unless they release their mana.'

'No wait! Maybe I can just develop a power scanning function based on the fundamentals of the DNA scanning of the Mana Bracelet.'

Thinking so, Luis had an idea in his mind, but that is something he could only test later. For now, they could only hope that what Luis judged was correct and their strength wasn't above C-Rank. Otherwise, they will have to ask for the professor's help, as Luis wasn't going to expose his abilities for this mission unless the situation turns to the extreme.

"Luis, let's attack them," Diana said in a low voice while clutching her fists.

He just gave a blank look. Then, shaking his head, he said, "First, listen to me."

After he saw that their attention was on him, he started speaking. "Diana, see those two guys in the right corner?" At her nod. He continued. "I need you to attack them when I give the signal. Try to defeat them, but if you can't, wait for our help. Just keep them busy and don't let them reach the drums."

Diana tightened his fist and said seriously. "You can count on me. I will crush them in seconds and won't let them anywhere near the drums."
