Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 511 - 506: Escape

As Ye Tong had speculated, Ji Ning and her group had already arrived near the Rick Family members’ residence.

But it wasn’t the castle where she lived; instead, it was the manor built on the Rick Family estate.

This manor also has a history of several hundred years and is considered an ancient building in the West Continent, inhabited by quite powerful old individuals.

After sensing the aura inside, Ji Ning still threw the fireball she held into it.

Under her deliberate control, the fire spread silently, growing more intense, nearly burning Bob Rick, who came to inspect, to death inside.

By the time the Rick Family elders noticed, a quarter of the manor had already burned down.

"Who is it—"

The voice, mixed with the Fifteenth Rank superpower fluctuations, instantly spread throughout the entire manor, but no one replied.

Having set the fire, Ji Ning and her group immediately headed to the castle where Ye Tong was located.

At the moment, the Rick Family had already descended into chaos, with most elites rushing to the estate to fight the fire, even one superpower user guarding Ye Tong had been summoned away.

Although the maids who received the news remained calm, their slightly flustered actions suggested something to Ye Tong.

"Miss Su, the wind is picking up outside, let’s go back."

However, Ye Tong pretended not to notice her panic and, holding a coffee cup, refused, "The breeze is taking away some of the heat, it’s quite comfortable."

The maid was anxious, enemies had broken into the family estate, who knew when they might arrive here?

The matriarch had just ordered, on behalf of the old patriarch, that all women and children must return to their rooms immediately, close all doors and windows, and not come out.

Other women and children had already returned, only this Miss Su had yet to go back.

If the matriarch found out, both she and Miss Su would certainly suffer, and her life would be greatly endangered.

No, she couldn’t die!

"Miss Su, you must go back now, please—"

The maid’s voice turned somber, even signaling to the remaining superpower user.

Ye Tong still didn’t move, her well-maintained fingers rubbing the coffee cup handle, counting the steps of the approaching superpower user.

"What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly telling me to go back? Didn’t we just come out?"

Ye Tong feigned ignorance, intentionally stalling for time.

The maid naturally wouldn’t tell her the truth and directly ordered, "Catch her and send her back to her room."

As the superpower user prepared to grab her, Ye Tong had already smashed the coffee cup in her hand, pressing the sharp shards against the maid’s neck.

"Don’t come closer, or I’ll kill her. I know you’re a hearing superpower, and I may not be as strong as you, but my hand speed is definitely faster!"

The superpower user saw the sharp shard stained with a trace of blood in those beautiful fingers and had to stop.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t have been intimidated, but this maid was an elder in the Rick Family, having served both the master and the young master for two generations, holding some status among the maids.

"Don’t listen to her, she wouldn’t dare kill me. If she kills me, she won’t escape, hurry up and grab her!" The maid shouted angrily.

Ye Tong’s eyes turned sharp, and the shard in her fingers swiftly changed direction, stabbing fiercely toward the maid’s neck.

The sudden change was horrifying.

The maid screamed in pain, "Ah—"

Dark red blood trickled down the shard, staining Ye Tong’s fair fingers.

Ye Tong’s face was full of murderous intent, she said coldly, "Then try it, come any closer, and I’ll kill her immediately!"

Ye Tong’s technique with the shard was exquisite, not directly piercing the major artery, so the maid wouldn’t die immediately, just looked terrifying.

The superpower user stopped again and started to back off slowly as Ye Tong moved forward with the maid.

He had never seen a woman as ruthless as Ye Tong.

The women of the West Continent were all gentle, bad-tempered wives, even those as hot-tempered as the Fifth Madame wouldn’t dare kill with a shard.

Luckily, the young master didn’t marry her, otherwise, one bad move and in their chamber...

The superpower user suddenly had this thought, sending shivers down his spine.

Ye Tong knew this standoff couldn’t last long, the maid would soon lose too much blood and faint.

By then, the hostage would be useless, and she would undoubtedly be caught.

She had to quickly find an escape route.

Now, something major must have happened in the Rick Family, otherwise, the stronger strength superpower users wouldn’t have been called away, leaving only a hearing superpower user.

Her every move before had been monitored by this person, making escape difficult, but the situation was different now.

She speculated that the experts in the castle had already left, and if she were to escape, this would be her only chance.

Ye Tong counted the time as she quickly moved toward another exit from the garden.

Once through this door, there was a small corridor ahead; she could temporarily shake off the superpower user with a rapid run.

If she encountered a direct descendant of the Rick Family halfway, her chances of escape would be greater.

Ye Tong calculated silently, and before reaching the small corridor, she forcefully shoved the maid toward the hearing superpower user and turned to run.

During her time at the castle, she calculated the time it took to walk through this area every time they went out for fresh air, while constantly simulating her escape route and timing in her mind.

Now—

Extreme parkour finally began.

Ye Tong fully let go, placing her spiritual power and strength on the task of escaping.

Without noticing, her spiritual power and physique gradually broke through to S-level during the extreme run.

The hearing superpower user in pursuit was shocked, noticing the woman in front gradually increasing her speed, even surpassing him.

Had she already awakened her superpower?

The hearing superpower user saw passing servants up ahead and urgently shouted, "Stop her—"

But the servants were ordinary people, how could they stop someone with martial power and an S-level physique.

Almost in a flash, they were thrown several meters away by Ye Tong, who was in a state of facing gods and killing gods.

Ye Tong, in this peak escape state, ran out of the castle gate and onto the lawn.

Just as she was about to rush out of the outer gate, a sharp pain shot through her running leg, and her knee suddenly buckled, causing her to skid over two meters forward due to the running momentum.

Two deep red streaks of blood were left on the lush green lawn.

Ye Tong lay on the ground, unwillingly lifting her head to look at the gate within reach, trying to get up, but her legs seemed numb and uncontrollable.

"Run... why aren’t you running?"

The hearing superpower user, panting heavily, finally caught up and kicked Ye Tong hard.

He then turned and bowed to the slowly approaching old woman.

"Thank you, matriarch."

The slowly approaching old woman, dressed in a maroon long dress, with her hair immaculate, exuded a noble and graceful demeanor, as if she were a noblewoman from some past society.

Following her were a group of maids and manservants.

They held trays in their hands, each containing an instrument for punishing disobedient women.

Ye Tong turned back, glaring with resentment at the slowly approaching old lady, asking unwillingly, "I don’t want to bear children for your grandson, what is the point of stopping me? We are both women, you are willing to share a husband with many women, but I am not. Why make this difficult for me..."

She met this old woman on her first day here.

Like a woman of the old social order, obedient to her husband, talking only about the Rick Family’s oppressive women’s family rules.

The general meaning was to obediently bear children for the Rick Family, to produce high-gifted offspring.

But Ye Tong disagreed, publicly refusing this demand.

The old woman then ordered the servants to teach her the Rick Family’s rules in public, but was stopped by Bob Rick.

After that, she hadn’t seen this old woman again.

Unexpectedly, the old woman was also a superpower user.

And a Control System user at that.

Damn—
