But this wasn't the time for idle thoughts.
The situation took a sharp turn.
Leonard Churchill's superb marksmanship reaped through a dozen Vampires in a flash, significantly halting the pursuit of the Commerce Guild's common folks by the vampire army.
However, this momentum didn't last long. Suddenly, the vampire army behind them erupted into turmoil.
Captain Sam, upon seeing Vera Williams appear, was struck with an ominous premonition, and he shouted, "Miss, run for your life! Don't worry about us, it's dangerous here!"
As if hearing this shout, Vera Williams, still at a distance, didn't dare to delay any longer and turned to run.
Even in Leonard Churchill's plan, she was merely a bait.
The fight had to happen, but the further from Bolton Mechanical City, the better.
Only then could the people of the Rose Chamber of Commerce truly survive.
...
The moment Leonard Churchill and his companion showed up, they were running for their lives.
