050 Anjie's Great Crisis

The woman who escaped was none other than Anjie Novak, a bounty hunter who was bent on revenge against Li Shanze.

Although it is said that revenge is never too late for a gentleman, Angel is not a gentleman. She does not have the patience to wait ten years. She would rather take revenge the next day.

After noticing that Li Shanze left the church alone, the bounty hunter lady concluded that this was a good opportunity for revenge.

In any case, this is much safer than being surrounded by countless knights and FBI agents in the church.

I want to see what you, this damn old pervert from the church, are capable of!

Humph, this old pervert seems to have a high status in the church. As long as I tie him up, I believe the generous church won't mind using a small piece of debris to exchange for their big shot...

The anger of being teased, the shame of being manipulated, and the humiliation of having the fragments stolen all surged into my heart.

Whether it was to retrieve the last piece of debris or to vent her anger, Anjie was determined to teach Li Shanze a lesson.

Under the cover of the falling snow and wind, the bounty hunter lady used all her skills to silently use the cover of various trees and corners to quietly approach Li Shanze.

In order to avoid Li Shanze's sight, Anjie made a big circle. Finally, she successfully went around the dead tree and was only one tree away from Li Shanze.

She held her breath, took out a small pistol from her bosom, and then hesitated for less than a second, and then like a magic trick, she replaced the gun with a dagger - using a gun alone could not vent her anger towards Li Shanze, the "old pervert of the church."

Then, Anjie curled up like a civet cat, ready to go. She couldn't wait to give Li Shanze a surprise.

However, at this moment, Anjie suddenly noticed that Li Shanze, who was separated by a tree, suddenly jumped up.

She was startled and had no time to dodge before she felt a strong magical wave coming at her.

Oh no, it's a trap! I've been fooled by this old pervert again!

Angel felt like she was completely under a spell, but fortunately she was not injured. Without time to think about it, she made a quick decision, leaped out, and immediately escaped.

What Li Shanze saw was Anjie's running back.

It's just that Anjie changed her clothes and hairstyle, and her agile figure like a civet cat is completely different from her previous panic look, so Li Shanze couldn't recognize her.

Although they kissed and hugged, and Li Shanze touched her all over her body, to be fair, Li Shanze was not really familiar with the famous bounty hunter Angel Novak.

Li Shanze quickly chased after her, but Anjie disappeared very quickly. After turning a corner, she was completely out of sight.

Li Shanze frowned and looked around the busy intersection, but Anjie was nowhere to be seen.

Li Shanze looked helplessly at the elf Ella who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, shook his head, and gave up chasing him.

Forget it, I'd better go back and see Charlie first, say hello to her and have breakfast together, and then I'll start my investigation into the "Good Buddy" herbicide factory.

So Li Shanze turned around and walked towards the Glass Palace.

Even though she had shaken off the pursuit, Anjie didn't feel much better.

The bounty hunter's breathing became rapid and her steps began to stagger. She felt the heat surging from the inside out of her body.

Damn it! That old pervert! What kind of dirty magic did this bastard cast on me?

As expected of the Catholic Church, it is extremely dirty!

Anjie felt something strange in her body, and then she immediately realized what had happened. This made her extremely angry, and she wanted to stab Li Shanze to death with a knife.

However, the waves of desire coming from her body were not fake. Even the winter wind carrying snowflakes could not suppress the fire in Anjie's body.

Fortunately, that spell also made Anjie's physical strength extremely abundant. Anjie felt as if she had endless strength. Therefore, she still had enough willpower to suppress her instincts that had been aroused.

Anjie quickly headed towards the safe house she had left earlier. The bounty hunter couldn't wait to find a safe place where she could release herself and escape the raging passion within her.

No, that's not right. There's a problem with the safe house.

Although the desire in her body continued to burn her patience and attention, Anjie still noticed something strange in front of the safe house.

On the usually deserted road in front of the safe house, she saw shallow tire tracks that hadn't existed when she left, and weren't covered by the falling snow.

Obviously, this is the tire that was just left behind.

Damn, these rats with a keen sense of smell found my safe house so quickly.

Anjie cursed silently in her heart.

Without hesitation, she pulled out her pistol, gripped it tightly, turned around and ran away.

The bounty hunter had just turned around when a loud shout came from behind her: "FBI! Stop, Angie Novak! You are under arrest! Surrender!"

Following this loud shout, four agents rushed out from Anjie's safe house.

Are you kidding me? Are you going to surrender and be delivered to your old pervert from the Vatican?

Angel was so angry that she stretched out her long legs and ran away quickly, completely ignoring the FBI agent's roar.

However, the valley between the bounty hunter's legs had begun to wet, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. This invisibly increased the difficulty of her escape and made her hate Li Shanze, the "old pervert of the church", even more.

"Don't shoot!"

"Damn it, she's running away!"

"Get someone to block her from the front! Bastard, I told you not to shoot!"

"Why? She's running away and we can't catch up with her!"

"Damn it, use your pig brain to think carefully. What if you kill her and Agent Mackenzie's things can't be recovered?"

Fortunately, the FBI agent, who was afraid of the consequences, did not dare to actually shoot, which gave Angel space to create distance. However, just as she nimbly turned the corner, a knight in full dress on a gray horse blocked Angel's way, with the black muzzle of a gun pointed at her.

"Angie Novak, you've been—Ah!"

Before the knight could finish his arrest order, Anjie flexibly curled down and dodged his gun with a flexibility that was not human-like.

Then, Anjie suddenly jumped high and threw a punch full of hatred with her backhand.

In Anjie's imagination, this punch was meant to hit Li Shanze's face, so she didn't hold back at all and knocked the tall and strong knight away with one punch.

Anjie was surprised by her own punch. She never expected that she could knock the church knight away with just one punch.

But now was obviously not the time to be surprised by such things. Angel took advantage of the situation and landed on the gray horse. She turned the horse's head, bent down, and lay on the horse's back, dodging the angry bullets shot from behind, and rode away.

At this time, several FBI agents finally arrived. They helped the knight who was knocked unconscious by a punch, looked at each other, stopped involuntarily, and called for help honestly through the radio.

It is obvious that Angel Novak is no longer an ordinary female thief. We must strike hard and ask the Grand Knight to send her to heaven!

Angel, who escaped from the FBI's pursuit, had a harder time.

Although she rode away on the stolen horse, the ups and downs of the horse's back caused the fire that had originally gathered in her heart to spread to her limbs and bones.

Damn it, damn it! Damn that old pervert Li Shanze! I must avenge this!

While cursing Li Shanze in her heart, Anjie forced herself to calm down and think about where else in Fern Town was safe.

No, I'm afraid there's no safe place in town right now. Everything is heavily blocked off, so perhaps the best option is to head to the place I'm most familiar with.

Anjie gritted her teeth and made a decision. On the way, she exchanged the knight's good horse for a poor horse from a local farmer.

After saying goodbye to the farmer, who was overjoyed and felt he had gotten a great deal from the little girl who knew nothing about horses, she rode her nag to the vicinity of the Glass Palace.

After observing calmly, she confirmed the location of the FBI agent, then quietly dismounted and stabbed the horse's butt with a dagger.

The poor horse was frightened and in pain, and rushed towards the Glass Palace roaring, causing great chaos.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Angel avoided the FBI's spies stationed outside the Glass Palace and slipped back into the Glass Palace.

051 Escape

Because she had consumed a lot of energy during the escape, Anjie found it increasingly difficult to suppress the fire in her body that seemed to burn everything.

She was now in a state of disarray, panting, and barely relying on her bounty hunter instincts to walk in the glass palace, avoiding the patrolling knights and FBI agents.

This won't work. I have to hide in the suite. Anjie thought with her remaining sanity.

Angel used up her last bit of patience to hide, and when a waiter with a room service cart passed by, she used the surveillance camera and blind spots to knock the waiter unconscious, and quickly changed into the waiter's clothes.

Then, the bounty hunter lady lowered her head—partly to read and find out to whom the meal should be given, and partly to avoid the sight of the patrolling FBI—and pushed the cart forward slowly, at the normal pace of a waiter.

Damn, the delivery room is right across from my room. My room must be heavily guarded!

But turning around now would be too abrupt and would only arouse suspicion. Having just brushed past an FBI patrol agent, Anjie could only bite the bullet and push the cart forward.

Oh no, it was becoming increasingly difficult to control my breathing, and the fire in my heart was growing stronger and stronger... Anjie suppressed the throbbing in her heart and walked towards the heavily guarded area ahead.

Anjie struggled to keep her pace steady as she gradually approached her room. She felt that every step she took was unusually loud, as if each step was stepping on the tip of her heart, and the tide in her valley became more and more turbulent.

Just a few steps left, and they were about to reach their destination... Angel forced herself to suppress the restlessness in her heart, held her breath, and in front of the FBI agent standing guard in front of her door, she turned the room service cart around and headed towards the destination.

Very good, the most difficult level has been passed, and Anjie breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, as soon as she let go of her breath, her control over her body went awry, her legs went limp, and she barely managed to hold on to the cart and avoid falling.

The attention of the two FBI agents behind her was undoubtedly drawn to this inexplicable mistake.

The two detectives looked at each other, and one of them suddenly said, "Wait a moment, miss."

Oops!

Anjie cursed in her heart and reached into her arms to take out the gun, but at this moment, the door in front of her suddenly opened.

Charlie glanced at Anjie and said impatiently, "Why are you here so late? You're so slow! Your tip is gone. Hurry up and get in! Also, I need to clean my room!"

"Yes, ma'am." Anjie calmed herself down and quickly pushed the dining cart into Charlie's suite with her head lowered.

Charlie looked at the two FBI agents. "What's up, gentlemen? Do you have any complaints about my room attendant?"

The two FBI agents looked at each other—this Miss Charlie Butner was a friend admitted by Agent Kate McKenzie, and neither of them wanted to offend her—then they shook their heads: "No, it's okay, we have the wrong person, ma'am."

"Oh, that's good, gentlemen, have a nice day." Charlie nodded politely and closed the door.

The two FBI agents exchanged glances and continued to follow the suspected female thief.

After closing the soundproof door, Charlie turned around with a smile and said to Anjie, "Angie, I didn't expect to see you here. What are you planning to steal? Let me tell you, the lock-picking technique you taught me—Huh? What's wrong with you? Wow! What's wrong with you!"

Charlie was just about to catch up with her old friend Angel when she suddenly collapsed.

Angel was breathing heavily, her hands were touching her body in an indecent manner, and she was taking off her clothes quickly. Soon, her waitress clothes were thrown all over the place.

What made Charlie even more unable to look directly was that Anjie's delicate silk underwear was already covered with water stains and looked soaked.

"I, I've been cast into an evil spell by an old pervert in the church. Come on, take me to the bathroom. I want to take a shower and calm down." Angel's mind was very confused now. She didn't even recognize Charlie. She resisted the urge to pounce on Charlie - I can't let Gray down - and spoke quickly with her last bit of clarity.

There was no need for further explanation. Charlie roughly understood what the "evil spell" that Angel had been hit by was, and the witch also basically knew what Angel's so-called "bath" was for.

After trying several times to break Ange's spell but failing, and Ange trying to wrap herself around her like an octopus, the witch gave up studying this "evil magic".

Charlie's face flushed red as she helplessly supported Anjie and sent her to the bathroom. Then she quickly closed the bathroom door and ran away.

Because her hearing was too sharp, Charlie could still vaguely hear the loud screams coming from the bathroom - from another perspective, the sound insulation of this bathroom was quite good.

Does the church still have such evil magic? This is so terrible!

Charlie was extremely ashamed. She couldn't connect the "old pervert in the church" that Angel mentioned with Li Shanze, the "young cannibal", so she could only blame the church.

But although Angel's screams in the bathroom gradually became hoarse, there seemed to be no sign of stopping. Charlie had no choice but to pick up the list on the cart and read it to divert her attention.

"Oh, this is Mr. Guy's complimentary breakfast service... What a hospitable gentleman." Charlie picked up the list and began to read it. "So, Anjie pretended to be a room attendant to get into my room, right? It seems like the two gentlemen standing guard at the door are here to follow her. What is she planning to steal again?"

If Xia Li hadn't waited for Li Shanze to come back, standing at the door and looking out through the peephole, she wouldn't have noticed Anjie in time.

Of course, if Xia Li knew that Anjie stole the ring given to her by Li Shanze, she would probably confront Anjie angrily, or at least listen to the bounty hunter lady explain the misunderstanding.

In fact, the fragments of the ring and box that Ange had stolen were now hidden under the shirt that Ange had taken off.

"I have to divert Angie's attention." While recalling what Angie taught her, Xia Li tiptoed to pick up the waiter's clothes that Angie had taken off.

She was careful not to touch the underwear and shirt Anjie had left behind on her way to the bathroom - Charlie definitely didn't want to touch them.

After changing into waitress clothes, she used magic to turn her brown hair into Ange's blonde hair, and cast an illusion on her face to make it look somewhat like Ange, and then she swaggered out of the room.

The two FBI agents' eyes swept across Charlie's changing face, then looked away.

"I just said we just saw it wrong before."

"Nonsense! I was the first to say we were mistaken. There's no way she could be the female burglar."

Charlie listened to the two FBI agents arguing in hushed tones behind her, her steps relaxed and complacent.

"Let me think, where would Anjie put the poor waitress... ah, got it."

Charlie went all the way to the first floor and found a corner of the restaurant, where she finally found the unconscious waitress and Anjie's changed dress.
