Chapter 75:Sheffield’s Demonic Claw (3)

“Ah… what’s going on, my head feels so heavy…”

Her vision gradually cleared, the wind whistling past her ears.
The sound of footsteps approached from a distance, tapping against her consciousness one by one.

When Su Xiao Zi fully awoke, she found herself on the rooftop of a skyscraper.

Beyond the cold metal railings, the lights of the entire city flowed through the night.
A youth dressed in luxurious clothes stood with his back to her at the edge of the rooftop, looking down upon the city.

She subconsciously tried to move her body, only to find she was firmly tied to a pillar behind her with tough ropes.

A tide of exhaustion washed over her, every muscle screaming for sleep, but the biting night wind slapping against her face made her nerves instantly tense up.

“Wait, what’s going on?
Tina?
Tina!”

A startled cry escaped her lips.

Memories reassembled like fragments—just a moment ago, she was clearly carrying Tina and retreating away from the battlefield, so how had she been brought to a place like this in the blink of an eye!?

Hearing the commotion, Sheffield turned his head slightly, his peripheral vision sweeping over the struggling girl.

Then, he turned and walked towards her with slow steps.

“Oh?
You woke up earlier than expected.”
His voice carried a hint of playfulness.
“It seems I don’t have to hold back so much, after all… you are a descendant of the Holy Breath family.”

Su Xiao Zi’s crystal-clear eyes filled with suspicion as she looked up at the man standing before her.

That face, it seemed familiar.

Yes, she remembered.
She had been carrying Tina away from the battlefield when an incomprehensible pressure came from behind her, and before she could even react, she was struck and knocked unconscious.

And that face… there was no mistaking it.

Although the magnificent uniform of the Seraphim Legion made him seem unfamiliar and imposing, she recognized him.

The corner of Sheffield’s lips curled into an arc as he calmly leaned down.
“Miss Su, do you still remember me?”

“You-you are…!”

There was no mistaking that voice either; he was her brother’s former friend…

They had met once because of that.

But, why was this happening?
Why would her brother’s friend appear here at a time like this, and this uniform… was it a Bloodkin legion’s uniform?
What did this mean?

People without special abilities cannot remain in the Imaginary Space.

So, it was obvious that he also had a reason for not being expelled from the Imaginary Space.

The already chaotic situation became even more confusing with the appearance of this familiar yet strange figure.

“Where’s Tina?
Where is Tina?”

“Are you referring to that humanoid weapon?”
Sheffield chuckled and shook his head.
“Just a pile of scrap metal, I have no interest.
You, on the other hand, Miss Su, should be more concerned about your own situation.”

“What do you mean… who exactly are you?
Aren’t you my brother’s friend?”

“Ah~ You still remember me, what an honor.”
He removed his hat, pressed it to his chest, and gave a slight bow.
“To be remembered by such a beautiful young lady, I am truly gratified.”

Su Xiao Zi furrowed her delicate brows.

Sheffield’s affected mannerisms were unsettling.
More importantly, the aura emanating from him—it wasn’t that of a Bloodkin, nor did it have the unique energy fluctuations of the Extermination Army.

It was a deeper, more dangerous feeling.

“Since Miss Su is now awake, I’ll be direct.”

Sheffield raised a hand to adjust his hat, revealing a meaningful smile.

A chill ran down Su Xiao Zi’s spine, and her pupils trembled involuntarily.
The Sheffield before her was different from the impression he had once left on her, or rather, it was as if he had become a complete stranger.

“Su Xiao Zi, give me all of your power.”
