Chapitre 207: [Final Event] [Closing Ceremony] [7] Rescuing Layla

"Shut up and don't move."

After placing Layla on his shoulders, Edward glanced around the room. "Bring us back."

Silence greeted his request, leaving Layla confused about whom Edward was addressing. However, it didn't take long for her to realize.

"Hey, Nihil!" Edward called out.

To Layla's astonishment, it was indeed Nihil, and Edward seemed familiar with him, evident from the casual tone in his voice.

"What do you mean, 'No'?" Edward's voice now carried a hint of anger as he stared into the void, the only exit seemingly blocked.

Growing frustrated with the lack of help from Nihil, Edward clenched the handle of Trinity Nihil with his free right hand and took a deep breath. "Useless system," he muttered before kicking the door open.

As they stepped outside, mercenaries appeared, brandishing their weapons at the sight of Edward carrying Layla.

"He has the chick with him!"

"Damn it! Kill him!"
