"So I'm saying, all this is just a misunderstanding. I simply wanted to rob some money, do you believe me?"

Although Johnny Blackbird wore a mask, making his expression unreadable, his outstretched hands revealed his mild helplessness.

Time rewinds to an hour ago.

Kingdom Grand Hotel.

At the moment Ethan was preparing to step off the stage.

The lights suddenly went completely dark.

Then, he felt an indescribable force of control.

It seemed like a voice was telling him he had to do something.

To go to the door, quietly.

Like a command, an irresistible command.

Ethan instinctively took a step forward.

Then, with the authority and power brought by the 'True God's Name', he regained his mind.

That feeling was very much like the moment when Ned used Isis's statue to control him in the past, only stronger.

Fortunately, Ethan was not the same as before.

Besides the 'True God's Name', he also possessed the authority of the King of Beihai, and part of Isis's authority.

This kind of seductive control was quickly neutralized by him.

However, he did not stop moving, he continued heading in the direction guided by the other party.

Because he wanted to see who was scheming against him in the dark.

Previously, there were no indications at all.

This ambush without any information would make anyone feel uneasy.

He silently arrived at an entrance designated by the other party.

There, a man dressed as security personnel was quietly standing, his face seemingly disguised, looking very average without any distinct features. He waved at Ethan.

Then, they both exited through this entrance.

Outside, there was actually a cart.

Ethan received another order to push the cart and continue walking.

During the long blackout period, they walked out of the auction area and arrived at an emergency exit.

For some reason, there was no one along the way. Theoretically, there should be security arranged here.

Then, when they exited the emergency escape, gunfire began to ring out.

The security personnel seemed somewhat stunned, even though it wasn't visible through his disguised face. He hurriedly instructed Ethan to load the items onto a vehicle.

Ethan picked up the items on the cart. Feeling the weight, he instantly realized what it was.

It was his own toilet.

The opponent was indeed taking everything.

"Alright, we need to hurry, there seems to be a problem inside, but it has nothing to do with us. By the way, do you know how to drive? Please drive, I don't like being a driver."

Though the security personnel's face was rigid and expressionless, his words seemed very playful and witty.

"Oh, right, I forgot you can't understand what I'm saying right now, huh? Never mind, just go drive."

Ethan could only go drive.

He was finally a driver this time.

Meanwhile, behind him, the security personnel seemed to be still entangled with the problem.

"Can he understand my words or not? Can he? Can't he?"

The vehicle had already left the Kingdom Grand Hotel.

The emergency exit was relatively hidden, so there were no journalists lying in wait, Ethan drove the car without obstruction.

The security personnel then instructed him: "Just keep driving straight, let's go to the West District first. Do you know how to get to the West District?"

Ethan didn't reply, too lazy to, and unsure if he should even answer.

"Does he know or not? This is troublesome, I should have driven myself."

The security personnel muttered to himself, seemingly going through some movements.

Ethan dared not move or look around. The security guard's strength wasn't weak, it was something perceptible, random moves or glances might alert the other party.

Since things have reached this point, Ethan could not fail.

Simultaneously, he began to deduce the reason for going to the West District.

Could this person be connected with the western bandits?

The car kept driving for a while.

The person spoke again: "A bit boring, why not turn on the radio and listen up, let's try it out. Thank God, the owner of this car has good taste and is quite wealthy to equip it with such a novel thing as a radio."

After speaking, without waiting for Ethan to act, he leaned forward himself and turned on the new and somewhat bulky car radio.

Immediately, cheerful dance music roared up.

But Ethan didn't care about the music, he was concerned with the security personnel's face.

Or rather, not the face, but the mask.

This guy had been rustling around behind, actually changing his attire.

Now he was no longer so ordinary.

He looked distinctly characteristic, especially the mask on his face.

Ethan had seen that mask on his first day in the Royal Capital.

At the time, the owner of this mask was on a speeding car, shooting wildly at the pursuing officers behind.

Johnny Blackbird.

They finally met.

But it was in this strange setting, at a strange time.

If there were a reporter nearby, they would surely go insane with excitement because this was a historic meeting.

The two most buzzworthy figures in the Royal Capital currently, meeting for the first time.

Johnny Blackbird, Ethan.

Even more thrilling, the former had kidnapped the latter.

The car kept going for a while, with Johnny Blackbird dancing to the music for a long time. He seemed tired then began to switch channels.

But there were not many radio stations at this time, and most were quite repetitive.

Johnny Blackbird grew a bit impatient. Just as he was about to turn off the radio, a new signal was accepted, after the noisy prelude, the subsequent content made Johnny Blackbird halt his hand that was about to turn off the radio.

"...News flash: A major accident occurred today at the charity auction organized by Ethan at the Kingdom Grand Hotel, with renowned artist Ethan and Princess Aine Beize missing. Moreover, a shooting occurred inside the hotel, sources say that the person shot might very well be the Eldest Prince. Additionally, a black beak mask alleged to be left by Johnny Blackbird was found in the hotel. This incident is highly possibly the doing of the notorious bank robber Johnny Blackbird from prior cases!"

Upon hearing this, Johnny Blackbird seemed to freeze.

He glanced at Ethan again and uttered a sentence.

"Oh, I forgot again, you can't understand what I'm saying now. But how come things turned out this way, exactly where did it go wrong?"

Ethan remained calm, indeed, Johnny Blackbird had no time for the shooting, but what about Princess Aine Beize?

Where did she go?

Just as he pondered this, the trunk of the car started banging.

"Knock knock knock, is anyone home?"

Could it be the voice of Aine Beize?
