Chapter 46: “Hunted Down By The Entire City”
The six "defeated dogs" could only return to their master empty handed.
When Jaime heard that Charlie and John escaped with a bus, he immediately scolded the six hunters while hissing like a monster.
"Damn it! Useless! You— ahabsjnakznshak— Go catch them! I don't care! Just catch them!"
Lee helped Jaime to contact the Okko Family and within ten minutes, the Okko Family mobilized their entire resources to sweep the Slime City.
They hired hunters with high prices and put bounties on the two people on the run.
It wasn't just the Okko Family. The Bureaus were also sending their guards to find the "dangerous slime".
The whole city was mobilized.
Some recorded videos about the incident with Jaime just now were quietly circulated to the internet, and more people knew about the trio.
When they saw the Okko Family's bounties, both hunters and ordinary people were excited.
"The bounty to catch them or kill them is good, but we ordinary people can't do that...what a pity."
"Wait! We can also get money just by telling accurate information about these two people!"
"The Okko Family also gave bonuses to those who provide clues about these people's whereabouts."
"Why is the Okko Family making such a big deal? What did these two people do?"
"Look at the newly circulated video...they injured the Okko Family's third young master so badly."
"Eh. This golden slime...isn't this the one who got viral earlier? The one rumored to be able to use special effects?"
"It thought it was just an edit or hype. The second video clearly recorded the slime's strange special effects several times."
"So it's real! There is a mutated slime that can use special effects!"
Some people were excited, but more people, especially ordinary people, were concerned.
"When will the bureau catch this wild slime? It is so dangerous...what if it is a hidden dungeon boss or something?"
"Please, let the slime and the two evil humans leave our city. I don't want anything bad to happen to our city!"
As more and more people knew about this, even Charlie and John, who were inside the bus, started to get glances.
"Are these two..."
"The one in the video..."
"Really? Quick! tell the Okko Family and the bureau!"
"Okay, okay. I'll take a pic as proof."
John and Charlie had just caught their breath for less than fifteen minutes when overheard the excited conversation around.
The two people's hearts jumped to their throats and they quickly checked their phones.
Something is wrong! There must be some big news related to them out there!
After the two humans watched the viral videos on the internet and read the following news, articles and many more things related to them, their hearts went cold.
It's over. They have to leave Slime City and never come back.
John immediately gestured at Charlie to walk to the bus's door, waiting for the right moment to go down.
The bus was big, but it was inconvenient to fight with so many ordinary people here.
Maybe the few hunters in the bus also took this into consideration, so they didn't do anything to John and Charlie, just furiously typing or calling people.
Apparently, they all had reported Charlie and John's whereabouts to the Okko Family.
Maybe because Charlie's luck was still good, the bus soon stopped at another bus stop.
John and Charlie didn't care about the whispers and strange gazes behind them.
The moment the bus's door was opened, they quickly jumped out!
The few hunters inside the bus immediately reacted and jumped down one by one in unison.
"Catch them! Catch them!"
"Those two are running! Quick! Tell the Okko Family their latest location!"
The ordinary people huddled inside the bus and got a little money from reporting John and Charlie's whereabouts.
They watched three hunters chasing after the two people, not daring to follow.
Anyway, let the hunters solve the problem among themselves.
Charlie and John were chased all the way until they entered another bustling safe zone, effectively shaking off the three tails behind them.
Before Charlie could sigh in relief, John had already pushed him to leave the safe zone.
[Go! Go! Go! Find a nearby ATM and take out all your money!]
John had a feeling that soon, the government or the Okko Family would block their bank account, and they would be left penniless.
[O-okay!]
Before the hunters inside the random safe zone could recognize Charlie and John, they had already left without a sound.
The two hunters managed to find a nearby ATM and immediately withdrew all their money up to the ATM's limit.
Then, they changed ATM machines, repeating their actions a few more times.
Throughout the process, Charlie was still confused with all the rush, while John had started to discuss an emergency plan with Neo.
[Neo, we have to leave the city and go to the suburbs quickly. After that, we go to another capital city through the suburbs.]
Usually, people would take the highway or train to go to other capital cities.
However, they would face security checks, which was what John and Charlie had to avoid right now.
[We don't need to pass the security and show our ID cards if we go through the suburbs.]
John looked experienced with such "smuggling", so Charlie and Neo could only obey his arrangements.
Charlie didn't have many things to take out from his house anyway.
He could leave right away.
It was John he was worried about.
[Uncle John, don't you need to say goodbye to your family first...or do something else?]
After all, once they leave, they might never be able to step foot into this city again.
John was silent at Charlie's words, but soon, he tried to cover up his gloom.
[It's okay. I lived alone, and all my hunters' necessities are inside this backpack.]
As for his teammates and friends...
He looked down at the constantly vibrating phone in his trousers' pocket and didn't even dare to look at it.
What if the government and the Okko Family tracked the text message and phone calls to find them?
