World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Diana Is In Danger!

In Locke’s eyes, the mobsters did not deserve a single ounce of pity.

He did not care whether or not they were under the ketchup’s influence. After all, if they were truly out to get more ketchup from Armstrong, they would not have attacked the houses and stores nearby.

They were only using their addiction as an excuse to carry out their sinful desires.

Locke refused to forgive them.

In just a few minutes, Locke had sent most of the mobsters back to meet their maker.

The two survivors’ legs buckled. Their bodies slumped backward, and the coins they had stolen earlier was scattered across the ground.

Locke was like the Grim Reaper to them, and it scared them out of their wits.

“This is the money I just robbed, it’s all yours! Don’t hurt me!”

“Please, we just want to eat ketchup! We didn’t do this on purpose!”

Hiss… !

The two-headed snake that had just finished off a dozen thugs quickly appeared and took one of the mobsters away!

Upon noticing Locke’s expression, the other mobster realized that his fate was sealed. He pointed at Locke with a trembling finger, “You… You’ll go to hell! The Devil will come to harvest your soul…”

“Really? That’s great. I’m curious to see what the Devil looks like…” The moment Locke finished speaking, Lil’ White appeared and brought the mobster away…

The judicial officer was stunned by this scene. He knelt on the roof that he was transported to and shivered in terror.

Locke turned around to look at the official. He then asked, “Sir, according to the Federation’s laws, my actions fall under self-defense, right?”

“Of course! Of course! I saw them attacking you with my own eyes! They even shot at you! These guys deserved it, your counterattack was reasonable and legal! I can testify for you if anyone disputes it!” The judicial officer nodded repeatedly like a puppet.

After returning his divine beasts to his spatial inventory, Locke ordered, “Head to the academy and find Hobrick. I believe that you two will need to discuss matters with one another, and since I’m rather busy right now, you’ll need to head there alone…”

With that, Locke then sped towards the Holy City’s South Gate.

…

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep…

The three directors had encountered a road block at Tanning Street.

The mobsters’ presence had made it impossible for Jacques to drive any further.

Diana snapped at Jacques, “This is all your fault. The city is in such a mess, and yet you decided to drive! Even riding a bicycle would be faster!”

Jacques scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, “How could I have expected this?”

“Alright! Let’s walk there. Although it’s still a bit far, I believe doing so will still be faster than riding a car…” Tristan was the first to get off Jacques ride.

Along the way, they looked at the destroyed shops along the street and the empty containers littered everywhere. Anger surged within their hearts.

Trista, who was the most knowledgeable, had already guessed what had happened. “The Trent family really lives up to their reputation. They like to enslave the masses and incite unrest. They’re truly a despicable bunch! I’m really clueless as to how they managed to obtain the title of Viscount…”

Jacques kicked away a gasoline barrel and lit a cigarette. “I believe Locke has already reached the South Gate. With him around, there’s no need to worry…”

Diana frowned at the messy street. She had roughly calculated the scale of the riots.

After taking a few steps forward, the three directors were suddenly surrounded by a dozen or so mobsters.

“It’s them! They’re Locke’s teachers! We saw them on the streets together once!” A thug pointed a baseball bat at them.

A brawny mobster pushed through the crowd. His upper body was naked and it revealed his bulging muscles. He seemed to be the leader of the group.

“Speak! Where’s Locke! Tell us and we’ll consider letting you go!” The mobster fixed his gaze on Diana’s beautiful legs that were wrapped in black silk while he spoke.

Jacques frowned at the burly mobster and glared directly into his eyes.

“What? Didn’t you hear my question? I heard that you aren’t able to summon your Battle Beasts right now! You don’t scare me!” After saying that, the big guy clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds.

Tristan was a quiet scholar. He was not good at dealing with such situations. He could only cast a hopeful look at Jacques who had stepped forward.

Diana also mentally praised Jacques, “Not bad. You’re actually acting like a man for once…”

After locking gaze for several seconds, Jacques then reached into his pockets with an angry expression.

The mobsters assumed that Jacques was bring out a gun, and thus, they immediately brandished their baseball bats and prepared to attack!

Unexpectedly, however, Jacques was only taking out a cigarette. With a smiling, Jacques requested,” Let us pass please, Big Brother. Locke’s headed towards the South Gate, and we’re headed there too…”

Everyone present was speechless!

‘Are you kidding me?’

‘This is the plan you came out with?’

Tristan felt his face burning.

Diana also rubbed her temples in disappointment.

However, Jacques had no other choice!

Without his Battle Beast, the old smoker was just a piece of trash!

He had no offensive ability whatsoever!

This was the only way he could think of, and he had learned the move from television!

The dozen or so mobsters that came back to their senses and burst into laughter!

“Hahaha…”

“Are all the instructors in the Federal Academy this funny?”

Once the burly man had finished laughing, he knocked the cigarette out of Jacques hand, grabbed his collar and shouted, “Don’t lie to me! Where is Locke?”

“He really went to the south gate! I’m not kidding…”Jax was not a fool. The reason why he sold out Locke’s whereabouts was because he knew that Locke was not interested in the ketchup, and his mana core was still in peak condition.

“Boss, I think he’s lying to us. How could Locke fall into such an obvious trap?” A mobster came forward and whispered into the leader’s ear.

After thinking for a while, the burly loosened his grip and smiled. “Hehe… It’s okay. We’ll find out later. But right now, we still have other things to do…”

He turned to look at Diana, whose hot figure was perfectly accented in her professional attire. His eyes were locked on her chests, and he was drooling with lust.

“Girl… My house is nearby. Wanna join us in some lovemaking? Hehehe…”

“What are you guys trying to do!” Jacques and Tristan were truly furious this time.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…

However, the mobsters quickly surrounded them. One was a scholar and the other was a smoker. They stood no chance against the mobsters.
