Kapitel 706: Underdog Rebellion

Ai and Layla escaped before they were identified and reported. The two men started shouting as Layla failed to knock them out, although their faces were swollen. Once they were far away from the train station, Layla stopped to check on Ai.

"It's okay. It's over. Sit here," said Layla as she pulled Ai to sit on the edge of a fountain. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, no." Ai shook her head repeatedly. "I'm sorry, I should've reversed them back to sleep. I... panicked..."

"I know those two didn't scare you as much as they triggered a fear within you. Do you want to tell me?"
