The fact that Michael recognized him was not something that he found strange. He was quite popular within the city, and of course, a large population of the younger generation knew about him.

Even if they were not from his circle, some people knew him from rumors, or maybe they had just heard of his reputation.

From the fact that Michael could talk about the rules of the auction house, it was clear that he was not just anybody. At least, he had the qualifications to enter the auction house, considering that he was coming from there.

There was a difference between the auction house and the auction hall. It was in the auction hall that the auction was held.

After leaving the auction hall, some people would immediately leave, while others would stay behind, intending to form connections with the VIP or the VVIP guests.

Therefore, the fact that Michael was just leaving the auction house at this moment was not something that surprised him that much. Even though they had been searching for this group for quite a while, without finding them, not even for a moment did he suspect that Michael was a VVIP guest of the auction house.

As for why he decided to ask, it was mainly to verify something. He was someone who acted cautiously. Even though he was a hedonist, he was not the type to act recklessly.

Previously, when Julius informed him that there was a girl that he had spotted, Robin was interested. It was clear to him that Julius wanted to gain his favor.

Therefore, he believed that for a girl that could be targeted by Julius, she definitely did not have a big background.

So, the moment that they noticed that Michael and his group were leaving, they immediately followed, after hours of searching.

From the fact that Julius had been talking about one of the ladies in the group, it was clear that he was familiar with her. And possibly, he was pursuing her, yet she had not accepted him.

This was something that had surprised him. But even before he could ask Julius about this, Kate took action, which was something that attracted him to her.

She was young, beautiful, and strong at that. If he could conquer her, as a hedonist, he would feel fulfilled.

But now, before taking any further action, he just needed to understand what kind of background these three possessed.

To Robin’s question, Michael did not bother to respond. Instead, he looked at Kate and said, "If they won’t let us leave, just beat them up. But, try to restrain yourself, don’t overdo it."

Michael’s words caused a sensation around him. Even Kate was momentarily stunned, as she had not anticipated that Michael would say something like that.

But then, she just shrugged, smiled back at him, then, while popping her knuckles, she gazed at the remaining bodyguards that were blocking their path.

As for Carol, she really could not understand Just how much Michael trusted Kate. But based on what Kate had just demonstrated, it seemed, she really should hold back. After all, those two, after they had been struck by Kate, they were still lying on the ground, with one of them unconscious.

As for the two young masters, and the bodyguards around them, they looked at Michael with widened eyes. Disbelief could be seen within them, as they failed to register what was going on.

Never had they ever encountered a situation like this. Most of the time, they were the ones that instructed their subordinates to hold back.

But now, facing a woman, there was a guy that was telling the woman to hold back? Even though she was strong, was she really capable of handling all the bodyguards that they had with them?

Robin was also infuriated, because it had been a very long time that someone that he did not even recognize, ignored him. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Therefore, he totally ignored the possibility that Michael might be from a bigger background than his own. So, he gazed at the bodyguards around him and instructed, "All of you, beat that guy up! As for that girl, just restrain her. I will handle her later on."

Even though the bodyguards hesitated, as they had clearly felt that there was something unusual about Kate, they could not ignore the instructions given. So, they began cautiously approaching Kate.

This was completely contradictory to the first two bodyguards that had recklessly rushed towards Michael, with the intention of beating him down.

As they approached, they began looking at each other, while making signals. They communicated with each other, as they had worked together for quite a long time.

They had developed a tacit understanding of each other. So, at this point, they developed a strategy on how to deal with this situation.

With a total of six people, three in front, three behind, it was decided, two on both fronts would target Kate, who had obviously shown incredible combat capability.

As for the other two, they would target Michael and Carol. That way, in case the other four could not deal with Kate, they could use Michael and Carol as a leverage.

While they were trying to communicate with each other, others might not understand, but Michael could not? As a person with a myriad of skills at the expert level, especially the human insight skill, the skill would have been useless if he would not have noticed what this group was planning.

Despite already understanding what they were planning, Michael had no any intention of taking action.

During the past few days, Kate had improved a lot. It had been a short time, but how frightening was the grade SSS ability?

As compared to the day that Kate returned to Brenton city, she was at least three times stronger than before. And it was only just a matter of time before she reached the limits of human capabilities, before breaking past it.

And of course, Michael had some plans, especially after Kate reached the limits of human capabilities.

Even though Kate could not fully understand what these bodyguards were implying with those subtle signs, she did not bother. Instead, stomping against the ground, she charged forward.

She rushed towards the person closest to her. And as she lived forward, there was a very slight dent on the tiles, demonstrating the force that she had used to launch herself forward.

So of course, the speed that she moved at was extremely high. It was to the extent that by the time that the bodyguard who had been targeted reacted, she was already in front of him.

Without a single word, she punched towards his face. There was a faint cracking sound, as the guy’s had suddenly jerked backwards, before he collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. At the same time, as his head slumped to the side, trickles of blood began flowing from his nose.

Kate did not bother to look at the person that she had just attacked. Instead, the moment that she struck, she changed her trajectory, moving towards another target.

This time, this bodyguard was able to react. Regardless, despite him being able to react, there was nothing that he could do against Kate’s kick towards his chest.

The arms that were crossed in front of his chest were suddenly smashed by Kate’s sole. The force that was contained in that kick immediately broke the guard in front of the chest, pushing the arms to smash into the chest.

Even though Kate’s foot did not come into direct contact with the guy’s chest, she smashed him, throwing him backwards, as he glided against the tiles, before his head smashed onto the wall behind him.

Kate did not pause for a moment. She immediately charged towards another bodyguard. Who, at this moment, realized that things had gotten out of hand.

He had realized that they had no possibility of doing with Kate. So, he thought, it was a wise choice not to face her head on. He decided to retreat.

Of course, this was a tactical retreat, so that he could pull Kate towards him. That way, he would give the other two a chance to grab Michael and Carol.

Unfortunately for him, just as he began retreating, Kate’s figure flashed forward. Before he could even react, her shoulder rammed into his chest, launching him backwards.

The guy coughed in the air, before his back heavily smashed onto the elevator doors, before he eventually slumped onto the ground, unconscious.

Kate did not look at the results of her attack. Instead, with anger in her eyes, she immediately charged towards the person that was approaching Michael.

At this moment, she did not bother about the fact that Michael had told her to hold back. She unleashed her full speed, covering the distance of over 4 meters within just a few milliseconds.

The bodyguard, whose hand was stretched towards Michael’s collar, widened his eyes in disbelief. He had not anticipated that Kate was as he had thought.

This was definitely beyond what a human could do. Such speed, it was definitely a rumored mutant. As he thought about this, he felt a chill running down his spine, as he regretted his actions.

Despite what he was thinking, Kate, who was angered by the fact that Michael was being targeted, did not hold back this time.

A straight punch into the chest, with a sickening sound of bones breaking ringing in the air, the bodyguard’s eyes bulged, as his mouth widened, with air forced out of his lungs, before he was sent flying backwards.

Julius, who did not even have a chance of reacting, only saw a figure hurtling towards him. As he attempted to raise his hands to block what was charging at him, it was already too late.
