At this moment, the nightlife has just begun.
However, the scene before their eyes was a bit unusual.
Centered around the Blue Tin Hotel where he resided, the streets within a few hundred meters radius were desolate, and even the hurriedly passing carriages were rarely seen.
If not for checking the time, one might mistakenly think it was the middle of the night.
But such a situation did not surprise Lynn.
On the eaves in all directions, armed figures stood watchfully, casting their gaze toward him.
A rough estimate suggested that there are over two hundred Transcendents gathered in the vicinity of the streets, seemingly mobilizing all the forces of the nearby Silent Church.
In addition, the Military Department has also sent people, and Lynn even saw several familiar figures among the crowd.
There was Sister Louise, a friend of Tiya, and the Great Imperial Princess Hillena with a complex expression, and even that guy had come.
At this moment, his face was gloomy and angry, his murderous intent pointing directly at the mastermind behind all this.
And everyone had only one target.
That was to rescue Tiya and to slay the villain, Lynn, on the spot.
Clearly, after receiving the report from the maid, everyone thought they knew the truth of the matter.
And indeed, this was the effect Lynn had desired.
He had already been regarded by them as an existence that must be removed.
As the saying goes, the more debts, the less one worries.
Besides, fundamentally speaking, the truth spoken by the maid controlled by the Lie Swallowing aligned more with common sense.
Rather than suggesting that the noble and aloof Holy Daughter would commit such heretical acts, it is more reasonable to blame everything on the villain who dared to assassinate a senator in broad daylight and torture a Prince.
Compared to the facts, people are more willing to believe the things they conjure up in their own minds.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the French windows in front of Lynn shattered and fell from the height to the ground.
"Lynn Bartleion, going against the Empire will not end well, release Miss Tiya immediately, and surrender!"
From the distant crowd, came the loud warning of Priest Andrew.
Countless gazes collectively focused on Lynn, the atmosphere reaching an extreme tension, and the active presence of the Divine-given factor filled the air.
It seemed that any slight movement from him would attract an overwhelming assault that would utterly submerge the entire hotel.
From afar, Xiya looked at the girl held by Lynn, his eyes nearly splitting with rage, his fists clenched tightly.
What the hell did he do to Tiya?!!!
At this moment, Xiya wished he could tear the boy before him to shreds, yet he was still unable to quell the hatred in his heart.
Seemingly noticing the murderous gaze from the other party, Lynn casually glanced in Xiya's direction.
Although the system couldn't show the deviation of Xiya's plot, irritating the other party felt rather satisfying.
It was also to completely extricate Tiya from this affair.
Then, the next second, a smug smile appeared on the corners of Lynn's mouth.
"I had plans to break the extremely depressing curse on her tonight, and then do some exciting things with the beloved Holy Daughter. I didn't expect a group of annoying pests to come and mess things up."
"But you guessed one thing right."
"From the beginning to the end, everything was planned by me, Lynn Bartleion."
"Including kidnapping this silly woman."
"Regrettably, she never submitted to me until the end. Not only that, she even managed to resist effectively in desperation... Tsk tsk, I don't know whether I should be surprised or angry about this?"
"Never mind, that's something to consider the next time we meet."
"As for now, I'll temporarily return her to you... everyone at the Silent Church, please take good care of her, okay?"
The next second, he slowly let go with his arms.
With no external force to support her anymore, the dreaming Tiya no longer held on Lynn's collar, and her hands let go involuntarily, falling limply downwards.
This scene undoubtedly shocked everyone.
Simultaneously, the fragile equilibrium that had just barely been maintained was completely broken as the girl fell.
"Damn it!!! I'll kill you!!!"
In an instant, countless Transcendents rose explosively, attacking towards Lynn.
Among them, Xiya took the lead with his violent Extraordinary Power sweeping across the field, causing alarm to all present.
Driven by his fury, he even subconsciously forgot to catch Tiya first, his sole purpose being to eradicate Lynn from this world.
Only Sister Louise, with a panic expression, blinked and appeared under the high building, catching her friend's body in her arms.
It's really... as expected.
As their eyes met, a mocking smile appeared on Lynn's lips.
And this scene, to Xiya's eyes, made his emotions lose control even further.
What are you laughing at?
What the hell are you laughing at?!!
At this moment, the glowing lights of the Divine-given factors coming from all directions nearly submerged the place where the young man stood.
In the end, it seems unavoidable to face a solitary struggle.
Faced with the dire situation before him, Lynn collected his thoughts, then gradually raised his hands.
