"How is that possible?" Hearing that these people came to kill her, Anqi shook her head in disbelief. Not only did Anqi not believe it, but no one in the academy believed it either. Who was Anqi? Before she was lucky enough to summon Wang Han, Anqi was just a student in the summoning department who was always hungry, at the bottom of the class, a pushover, powerless, penniless, and had never offended anyone. How could someone come to assassinate Anqi, and with such a grand display?
“The second attack in the forest was aimed at you, Angie.” Wang Han looked at Angie and said seriously, “From the attack, I guessed that you were their target, and the subsequent capture and interrogation confirmed that.”
"Wang Han, didn't you say that the people who attacked us the second time ran away? How did you know that?" Vivian asked, puzzled.
"Run!" Wang Han smiled.
"Although I don't know exactly what you encountered in the Monster Forest, I don't believe an ordinary person could escape from Wang Han," the vice-dean said. Looking at the white-armored divine rhinoceros with some trepidation, Wang Han was at least a high-level summoning saint and a powerful super-rank insect master. Without special abilities, even the king of thieves would have a hard time escaping from him.
"But why do these people want to kill me?" Anqi, now believing Wang Han's words, asked with a puzzled look and a lot of nervousness in her heart.
“I don’t know, I’m puzzled too.” Wang Han shook his head. “All I know is that these people were sent to kill you. I haven’t been able to get anything else out of them. These assassins know only limited information; they are just following orders.”
"Do you know who wants to kill Anqi?" the vice dean asked.
"I don't know. These assassins are all death squads. We only know that the target is Angie, but we don't know anything else, and we can't get any information out of them." Wang Han shook his head and said, not revealing the information about Duke Angela. After all, since the other side was able to send out so many super-level professionals, Wang Han couldn't be sure if there were any of their people among these students and teachers.
From the fact that the other party twice dispatched numerous top-level experts to assassinate Anqi, Wang Han knew that the man called Duke Angela was very determined to kill Anqi. However, the other party seemed to have some kind of apprehension and had been doing it very secretly, trying to make Anqi's death look like an accident, even at the cost of affecting more students.
"Let's set off tonight!" the vice-dean said. The person who wanted to kill Anqi dared to attack even the academy's team, and will likely continue to send powerful assassins. Even with Wang Han's protection, oversights are inevitable, so returning to the academy is safer.
"It's good to go back as soon as possible." Wang Han nodded and opened a divine power space passage with a diameter of nearly ten meters.
The Divine Might Space Channel opened, and a centipede (or thousand-legged insect), eight meters wide and over five hundred meters long, covered in thick, hard armor, crawled out of it and crouched down under Wang Han's command.
Wang Han said to the vice dean, "Let the students go up. If they squeeze in, all the students can go up. With it carrying us, we should arrive in Ang City by tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Gulp..." Upon hearing this, the dean swallowed hard and asked Wang Han uncertainly, "Are you sure there's no problem?"
This was the King of Beasts, and he couldn't help but worry. Even the students who heard Wang Han's words were terrified. What if riding on the King of Beasts? Would it flip over and crush them all to death?
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and take the students up there!" Wang Han said, flipping himself onto the back of the armored rhinoceros.
The teacher and students looked at each other, and finally mustered their courage to climb onto the centipede's many legs. They dared not leave Wang Han's protection; who knew if the assassin would return? Without Wang Han's protection, they would die if the assassin appeared again. However, no one dared to blame An Qi, because Wang Han was protecting An Qi.
After seeing that all the students had climbed onto the centipede's many legs, Wang Han patted the Ironclad Rhinoceros's neck and pointed in a direction.
The white rhinoceros, having already completely concealed its aura, immediately understood and took off running. Many-legged creatures followed immediately.
————————————————
Even with the Ironclad Rhinoceros and the Multi-Legged Beast deliberately slowing down to accommodate the students, they were still more than three times faster than a carriage. What would normally take seven days on foot or two days by carriage was covered in a journey that took them just as the sun was rising.
Upon arriving near Ang City, Wang Han retrieved the centipede, otherwise it would have caused trouble if it had led to a misunderstanding.
After the centipede was killed, the vice dean came to Wang Han and thanked him, saying, "Wang Han, thank you very much this time."
"You're welcome. I'll do my job once I've received the money; it's what I should do," Wang Han said with a smile. "The students are exhausted. Let's go back quickly and get some rest."
Seeing that most of the students had their hair slicked back and looked exhausted, he said loudly, "Everyone go home, pack your things, and get some rest. We'll meet at the academy at 2 PM in fifteen days. Those who live far away can come too."
,School."
"Yes..." The students answered listlessly and then dispersed.
Angie said to Wang Han expectantly, "Wang Han, Uncle Eliza, let's go. I'll take you to my house."
"Let's go, I'll go see your mother too." Wang Han nodded and walked into the city with Angie and Elizabeth, with the Ironclad Rhinoceros quietly following behind him.
"Anqi, wait for me." Vivian caught up and said, "Anqi, my house is quite far from here. Can I come to your house for a while and wash off the dust?"
"Um, I'm sorry, it's not very convenient at my home." Angie shook her head upon hearing this.
