Chapter 229 - Chapter 227: Who Said You Could Leave?

"Isabella?"

Roy could tell for sure that it was Isabella controlling the black-clad nun's body right now, not the archangel Michael.

Michael's eyes wouldn't be so gentle, and her voice wouldn't be so soft.

"Mr. Black, um, can I get in the car?"

Although the events of that night were several months ago, Isabella still looked at Roy with a somewhat evasive gaze.

This kind of personality reminded Roy of Needy.

When he first transmigrated, Needy was also as insecure as Isabella, her eyes darting around whenever she saw Roy, like a cute little quail.

"Of course, no problem. Hop in!"

Isabella got into the car without saying anything specific, just fiddling with her fingers.

The atmosphere in the car was very awkward, so Bumblebee, on its own initiative, started playing a radio station with suggestive music.

It turned out that silicon-based lifeforms weren't as good at reading the room as carbon-based ones. In short, this suggestive music station made the atmosphere in the car even more awkward.

Reluctantly, Roy had to break the silence.

"So, Ms. Isabella, have you been doing okay lately?"

Isabella's small face flushed slightly.

"Yeah, I've been doing alright."

Roy didn't have any ulterior motives. He knew Isabella was definitely the most devout nun; otherwise, she wouldn't have been chosen as Michael's vessel.

So, the blush was likely just from being a little embarrassed.

Therefore, Roy continued to question Isabella.

"Ms. Isabella, how did you find me?"

This question made Isabella's face turn even redder.

"You, you have my blood on you, so I can sense your approximate location."

Could it really work like that? Roy scratched his head a little.

"Ms. Isabella, is there something specific you wanted to talk to me about?"

This finally brought Isabella back to her senses.

"I, I'm here on behalf of the FEA."

Hearing this, Roy raised an eyebrow.

Roy knew that Illyria was working with the FEA, but he didn't expect Illyria to have brought Isabella in as well.

This was the difference in style between the angels Uriel and Michael.

Uriel was more shrewd, so after realizing the trouble, she would cooperate with the authorities.

Michael was just a headstrong warrior who didn't think so much and always solved problems on her own.

This time, it was likely Illyria who actively pulled Isabella in. He wondered how that gal managed it.

"What did the FEA say?"

"Illyria's point was that the FEA can't tolerate the Witch Coven anymore and wants to take this opportunity to eliminate them in one fell swoop."

After the power of the Church gradually declined, the Witch Coven's attitude became more and more aggressive.

The incident where Ophelia controlled Fiona's body and cursed the FEA agents wasn't an isolated case. The Witch Coven's overbearing behavior was evident in all aspects, including Cordelia forcibly abducting Emma.

This was enough to illustrate the problems within the Witch Coven itself.

When you're strong, you act this domineering; don't blame others for kicking you when you're down.

Currently, the Supreme of the Witch Coven had been confirmed dead. The remaining witches' fighting power was far inferior to Fiona's, and there were also some internal divisions. The Witch Coven could be said to be in an unprecedented state of decline.

It seemed the FEA wanted to launch a new era of witch hunts.

However, many witches were also ordinary people. Was the federal government planning a blanket crackdown?

"Ms. Isabella, do you support the FEA's actions?"

Isabella shook her head.

"I, I only target the wicked."

This relieved Roy. He was really worried that Isabella would indiscriminately deal with ordinary witches.

"In that case, let's go back together."

Roy started the car. After being out for so long, he was still a little worried about the situation back at the hotel.

As soon as he drove Bumblebee to the bottom of the hotel, he heard the sound of an explosion from above.

Roy looked up and saw that the explosion had occurred on the floor where Jennifer and the others were staying.

Damn it! That woman actually came!

Roy had discussed with Jennifer before, thinking that Ophelia might come to silence them, which was why he had restricted Madison and the others' movements.

He didn't expect Ophelia to be so bold as to take action that very night.

He had to remember that, on the surface, Myrtle, the body Ophelia was inhabiting, should be under FEA control.

"Mr. Black, let me take you up there!"

Isabella's gaze suddenly became firm. Clearly, the person inside had changed. A pair of light wings suddenly sprouted from her back, and she took off with Roy.

Inside the hotel's presidential suite, Jennifer's expression was incredibly serious. The other witches around her had all suffered some degree of injury.

The incident had started ten minutes ago when someone suddenly knocked on the presidential suite door, claiming to be room service.

Why would there be a service worker doing room service in the middle of the night? Jennifer immediately sensed something was wrong, so she directly refused to open the door and told the other young witches to be ready.

Just as Jennifer had guessed, the knocking service worker had been controlled by Ophelia. This guy's role wasn't to trick them into opening the door but to confirm the room where Madison and the others were staying.

After all, Ophelia's previous divination had been several hours ago. Who knew if the young witches had moved? She still needed to confirm.

After a series of probes, Ophelia confirmed that the young witches were indeed in this presidential suite, so she launched her attack.

Jennifer had been watching the peephole and was a little strange when she saw the service worker leave without doing anything.

Suddenly, she heard some strange noises, followed by the screams of several young witches.

"There are rats!"

Well, a group of witches who could easily take down the Irish mob screaming like this at the sight of rats was truly a bit speechless.

Rats? How could there be rats in a five-star hotel?

Jennifer's expression changed, and she immediately realized there was something wrong with these rats.

"Watch out for the rats!"

Just as she finished speaking, the rats exploded violently. This was the explosion Roy had heard at the bottom of the hotel.

Fortunately, before the rats exploded, Madison heard Jennifer's warning and immediately used her telekinetic abilities to throw the rats away, preventing the explosion from happening near them.

However, it was precisely this action that caused the rats to explode directly.

"Cough, cough, cough! Are you guys okay?"

Jennifer quickly asked about the others' conditions and soon received feedback from the other young witches.

"Sister Jennifer, I'm okay! But Sister Zoe is injured pretty badly!"

The youngest, Emma, had been shielded in Zoe's arms the moment the explosion occurred, so her condition was the best.

But Zoe, who had protected Emma, suffered more significant injuries. She was closer to the center of the explosion, and her body had multiple blast wounds.

"Maria and I are fine too!"

Next was Madison. While throwing the rats away, she also used her telekinetic abilities to lift the coffee table to block the blast damage.

This action successfully allowed Madison and Maria to only suffer some scratches, so their situation was relatively good.

"Why doesn't anyone ever ask about me?"

A slightly unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in the presidential suite, causing all the young witches' expressions to change.

Just as the smoke from the explosion dissipated at this moment, Jennifer and the others saw a tall, beautiful woman appear in the center of the presidential suite at some point.

Ophelia!

This woman was currently looking down at the young witches in the room with a condescending gaze, as if searching for something.

Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. She knew Ophelia was probably looking for Lilith inside her body. Fortunately, Lilith had suffered a direct mental trauma and was currently sleeping to recover, so she probably wouldn't be discovered, right?

Ophelia ignored Madison and the others' small actions and looked at Jennifer with a suspicious gaze.

"I seem to smell a familiar scent on you!"

Just as she finished speaking, Madison controlled the television to smash towards Ophelia, but this small trick couldn't fool her at all and was easily dealt with.

Immediately afterward, Maria released her soul double, wanting to sneak attack Ophelia.

But for witches, this kind of sneak attack could only succeed once. After all, they could sense the existence of soul doubles, so Ophelia directly created a fire cage made of purple flames, trapping Maria's sister, Elaine.

"Hehe, you think the same trick can work on me twice? How naive!"

Ophelia looked contemptuously at Madison and Maria. Just as she was about to turn back and continue questioning Jennifer, she heard the sound of shattering glass.

Turning her head, Ophelia saw a fist getting bigger and bigger in her line of sight.

Bang!

Having no time to use her teleportation ability, Ophelia was slammed into the wall by this punch.

"Jennifer, are you guys okay?"

As soon as Jennifer saw that it was Roy who had come in, the tension in her heart immediately eased.

"I'm fine, but the others seem to have been injured a bit."

"Then take them out of this room first. I'll deal with this woman."

Roy cracked his knuckles as he looked at Ophelia plastered against the wall, a grim smile on his face.

At this moment, Isabella also flew in through the shattered French windows.

Everyone was very surprised to see the black-clad nun with light wings on her back. Her appearance and that holy aura were just too much like a legendary angel.

Isabella's silver pupils scanned the room. When she saw Maria and Emma, she frowned slightly. Both girls carried a certain degree of sin, but it wasn't enough to warrant her executing them on the spot.

On the other hand, Ophelia plastered against the wall was practically glowing crimson, a true red-named monster.

"Sinner!"

Isabella took out her pistol. This angel of judgment still really liked using guns.

"Isabella, she's mine!"

Roy's words stunned Isabella for a moment. If it had been in the past, she would have completely ignored Roy and directly taken out Ophelia.

But the events at the private club and the series of events that followed had a huge impact on Isabella, or rather, on Michael.

Even Michael herself hadn't realized it, but she had already begun to become a little more like a human from an angel.

So, Isabella put her pistol away.

On the other side, Ophelia sensed the power of both Roy and Isabella and immediately lost the desire to continue fighting. Moreover, Jennifer had already run off with the young witches.

So, after seeing Roy approach her, Ophelia immediately released a pink mist.

This pink mist was the same magic Jennifer had used before to get rid of Ophelia, a magic unique to Lilith that could effectively disrupt perception and had a certain bewitching effect.

Ophelia, as Lilith's daughter, naturally knew this magic, which was why she was so surprised when Jennifer used it to escape her before.

After releasing the pink mist, Ophelia immediately shattered the walls of the room and entered the hallway, wanting to take down Madison and the others as quickly as possible and then flee the scene.

As for Jennifer's problem, Ophelia couldn't worry about it for the time being. She needed to protect herself first.

As long as the Witch Coven continued to exist, Ophelia could use some tricks to become the Supreme as Myrtle, and many problems could be solved easily.

At this moment, Jennifer had just led the injured young witches into the elevator when she saw Ophelia float quickly towards her.

"Bastard, who said you could leave!"

Roy's super-high willpower completely ignored the pink mist. He chased after her in a rage, his speed even a bit faster than Ophelia floating in the air.

Ophelia looked at Roy in horror. Her jaw still ached from that punch. If she hadn't used magic in advance to dissipate most of the physical damage, that punch might have killed her.

The elevator doors had already closed. Ophelia could only float towards the emergency exit, quickly diving down the stairwell, and then floating up against gravity the moment she reached the bottom.

Without saying a word, Roy also jumped down the stairwell, smashing a large hole in the ground floor and continuing to pursue Ophelia.

Ophelia had already rushed into the hotel lobby, waiting for the elevator to open for a "守门杀" (shǒumén shā - door-guard kill, a term from games meaning to ambush someone coming through a door). But when the elevator opened, it was empty.

It turned out that during the elevator's descent, the clever Emma had made a suggestion. She guessed that Ophelia would definitely be waiting for them on the first floor, so the best choice was to leave the elevator on an intermediate floor and let the elevator continue to the first floor, making Ophelia guard an empty elevator.

You could tell how good this strategy was by looking at Ophelia's expression right now. The woman was about to explode with anger.

But Ophelia couldn't vent her anger because Roy had already caught up. If she ran again, she would just get punched again.

"Damn little bitches, you just wait!"

Finally, Ophelia could only choose to say a harsh word and then prepare to run.

In an instant, more than a dozen Ophelias appeared in the hotel lobby, running in all directions.

This scene terrified the hotel staff on duty and also startled Roy.

Grabbing one of the Ophelias running towards him, Roy discovered it was a mirror magic, creating mirror images that looked and acted exactly like her to hide her true self.

These mirror images would actually shatter upon touch.

However, if there were enough mirror images, they could still create a very good deceptive effect.

At least Roy was now hesitating, not knowing which one was the real Ophelia.

Wait a minute, didn't he previously get a ring that could track enemies?
