"Regiment...leader, and you..."

Qian Xi seemed to understand what they wanted to do, and her face was too pale to say a word.

At this critical moment, Luken endured his heartache and did not comfort Qianxi, but whispered something to Atlas. The latter was silent for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

"Good boy, let's go."

Lukorn finally showed a smile and patted Atlas on the shoulder.

"Captain...you must survive too."

"of course."

Seeing Lucien nodding, Atlas also breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he held Qian Xi's hand tightly and led her into the forest.

"Qianyue."

"Dad Luken... you have to survive, you must survive."

Qian Yue looked at Lu En with red eyes, already so sad and incoherent.

Hearing her name, Lu Keen couldn't help showing a nostalgic smile.

The little kid who called him mother back then has grown so big. It was because he was unable to protect her and would only let his two daughters suffer with him. However, although those days were very hard, they were also unforgettable.

It would be great if someone could help him protect them... not someone as greedy as Bibiru, but someone who purely protects them...

Thinking of this, Lu En shook his head helplessly. I felt like I was really going to die, but I was still thinking wildly.

He actually didn't even think about escaping. Because he is the leader of the Starlight Theater Troupe, it is impossible for him to leave his members and survive alone.

But he still lied to Qianyue and Atlas.

"Well, I'll live."

"It's agreed, for sure."

"must."

Kaguya watched the interaction between the two silently from the side without interrupting.

Seeing the city guards chasing after her, Kaguya took a deep look at Lucien and rushed into the forest with Qianyue.

In the early morning of that day, Kaguya and Qianyue walked cautiously in the forest, looking for the boat Lukorn mentioned.

It was the darkest time before dawn. If the city guards wanted to find them, they could only enter the forest with lights. Therefore, they can hide until dawn just by hiding from the light.

Lucken had no choice but to hide the boat in the forest. Bibiru was afraid that they would run away, and the coast was heavily guarded. In this case, they had no chance of hiding the ship on the beach.

"Haven't you caught it yet?"

Bibiru arrived at the outskirts of the forest under the protection of the city guards.

He has already plotted against the troupe so hard that even if they struggle to the death, there is no possibility of a comeback. He just needs to wait in the city lord's mansion for his men to bring Aquamarine Star.

but? Even though so many city guards were deployed, no one was caught? He deeply doubted whether he was raising a bunch of losers.

"The remnants of the troupe are very cunning. We have no way of continuing the search in this darkness."

A city guard captain reported truthfully.

In this darkness it is better for those who hide than for those who search. Even if they found dawn, they would not be able to find any trace of these people.

After listening to the analysis of the city guard captain, Bibiru suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

"There are people around those two sisters, right?"

"Huh? Ah, yes. At that time we saw two men leading them into the forest from a distance."

Hearing this, Bibiru showed a strange smile.

"Very good, then you don't have to worry about hurting them."

The captain of the city guard looked at Bibiru in confusion, wondering why this incident made the city lord so happy.

However, it didn't take long for him to understand Bibiru's plan.

Seeing several city guards leading more than thirty hounds, the captain of the city guard couldn't help but sympathize with the remnants of the troupe hiding in the forest. If you let so many hounds into the forest, aren't you afraid that the two men won't be able to protect Aquamarine Star and her sister?

"Do you think your ship's cook and helmsman can stop these hounds?"

Bibiru looked at the middle-aged man standing behind him and asked.

"Atlas is a user with the Devil Fruit ability of the Grizzly Bear Fruit. Kaguya is born with supernatural powers and her skills are not simple. These hounds can't do anything to them."

The middle-aged man shook his head and told Bibiru more detailed information.

His name is Fela, he is a senior member of the troupe and an old member who followed Lucken in the early days. However, over the years, he has become more and more dissatisfied with Lukorn's approach, and does not understand why he does not dedicate his artists to nobles or high-level government officials in exchange for a better future.

He felt that Luken's insistence had ruined the future of the Starlight Theater Company.

This time Bibiru wanted Qianxi, so he planned to dedicate her to the city lord. But he knew that no one in the troupe would agree, so he simply pretended to agree with Lu Keen's plan and secretly passed the information to Bibiru.

This is also the main reason why every move of the Starlight Troupe is seen through by Bibiru.

"I didn't expect your troupe to have Devil Fruit users."

Bibiru was surprised when he heard about Devil Fruit users. But that was all, he waved his hand casually, and the mercenaries who had been waiting in secret slowly walked over.

"boss."

One of the mercenaries bowed to Bibiru on behalf of all the mercenaries and waited for his instructions.

"Did you hear that? The hounds can only help you find someone. After dealing with the two men, bring the two sisters to me."

"Yes."

Following Bibiru's order, the hounds rushed into the forest. Each hound was followed by five or six mercenaries, as well as a large number of city guards.

How long can they hide under this kind of carpet search? One hour? Half an hour?

Bibiru was not in a hurry at all now, and leisurely asked the maid to pour him a glass of red wine, and sat there waiting for the fruits of victory.

Wang Wang Wang --

The hounds barked one after another, and Kaguya couldn't help but turn around and curse in a low voice.

In order to catch them, they released hounds? Can't we wait until daybreak to look for it? Are they felons or people who killed the city lord? Is it necessary to make such a big show of things?

"Kaguya..."

Qianyue also heard the sound of the hound, and her face suddenly turned pale.

In the dark night, she clearly saw the eyes of a hound in the distance, staring in their direction and barking, and then rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Kaguya also saw this scene and couldn't help but curse secretly.

"These beasts have really sharp noses!"

Looking up at the sea not far away, Kaguya shouldered the boat and pulled Qianyue forward.

"Now that things have come to this, Qianyue, just go ahead and attack."

"it is good!"

With Kaguya's permission, Qianyue took out her jade flute and held it in her hand.

From the moment she hid in the forest, Kaguya prohibited her from attacking anyone. The reason is simply because Qianyue's attack method is flute sound. You can think about the effect of playing hide and seek if the person hiding suddenly plays the flute.

Now, this is simply the best way to attract enemies.
