The Goddess Of War
Chapter 52 - Stalker

When Anna returned to Gina's apartment from the Dungeon, it was already noon.

Anna immediately took a shower to clean herself and changed her clothes to the same type she was wearing, a t-shirt accompanied by a hoodie and jeans hotpants, before she finally went out of the apartment, this time he did it in a normal way. Through door.

Due to her promise to Miyuki to bring the girl more magic crystals, Anna intends to go to the truck rental place to transport the magic crystals again as before.

Although she was able to go directly to her destination by teleporting, Anna did not want to do so and chose to go to the rental place by taxi.

He did not want to surprise others and make trouble by appearing suddenly, because he still did not know a safe place to directly teleport there. Unlike the one inside the Dungeon, he could not carelessly teleport in the human world.

“Dealing with humans will be very troublesome.”

While in the elevator, Anna suddenly remembered the cake shop which made her feel guilty because the other day she just left from there without taking and paying for her order.

He decided to go there first before going to the truck rental. After all, he felt a little curious about the taste of the cakes there that looked good.

°°°

After he exited the main door of the apartment building, Anna could feel that there were some people watching her, even tailing her all the way to the cake shop.

Although she knew it, Anna simply ignored it and continued walking down the sidewalk to go to the cake shop.

After being at the cake shop, Anna ordered a few pieces of cake that she found delicious. It was the same cake he wanted to buy the other day.

After handing it to the cashier, Anna paid for all her orders and asked to deliver them to the second floor of the cake shop.

Anna then went to the balcony of the two-story store and waited for her order to be delivered there.

Not that he chose that place. From where she is, Anna notices a silver sedan carrying several people who have been following her.

After a while there, two men finally got out of the car and seemed to be walking into the cake shop.

Anna picks up her smartphone, then sends someone a message while waiting for those people to get to her place.

Anna wanted to meet them.

When the people she was waiting for finally arrived, Anna returned her smartphone to the hoodie pocket and looked at them calmly.

The two men in casual clothes came over to Anna. One of the men then sat opposite her, while the other man sat on a chair at the other side of the table, next to Anna.

The man sitting across from Anna was about to speak, yet he fell silent upon seeing Anna's beautiful face that completely dazzled his eyes.

Although her head was covered in a hoodie, the pira could now see Anna's face clearly. Unlike a few days ago, when Anna wore a mask that covered her face.

“Do you have a need with me?” Anna asked, as the man had not even opened his mouth to speak, as he was still stunned by her beauty.

The man smiled awkwardly as he glanced at his friend who was sitting at another table near Anna.

His friend's face looked red, and his eyes looked like someone who had fallen in love at first sight.

Not getting an answer from the man, Anna spoke again.

“If there is none, can you leave me alone?” Anna said it quietly without being harshly impressed. He smiled softly after finishing his sentence.

The man, who thought Anna would be afraid of them and guessed that the girl might be trying to escape, suddenly felt uneasy upon seeing Anna's calm and polite demeanor.

The two men were Brandon Lloyd's Hunter-hunters. They are asked to bring Anna home to meet Brandon.

The two men knew Anna, who had been betrothed, had run away with her personal driver for not liking her match.

If they find out that Anna was actually picked up to silence her for the crimes that Cassey Lloyd has committed, maybe the two men will think twice about doing the forced pick-up order on Anna.

At that moment, a middle-aged man arrived there.

With his face fiercely impressed, the man stepped arrogantly until he arrived and stood in front of the table, near Anna.

As if the other party wasn't important to him, the middle-aged man without regard for manners to greet his interlocutor first, directly spoke in a slightly threatening tone.

“Nona, we were ordered, Mr. Lloyd to take you with us.”

Anna glanced at the man who looked the same age as her father. Anna had intended to meet this person.

With the power he had, Anna was able to see the middle-aged man in the car, even though he only glanced at him at a glance when he just came out of the apartment building earlier. That's why Anna was waiting for him here.

“Mr Lau, long time no see.” Greet Anna to the middle-aged man.

Receiving a warm greeting and a gentle gaze from Anna, Rudyard Lau looked slightly misbehaved and somewhat regretted his disrespectful attitude.

However, he was a follower of Brandon Lloyd who always obeyed his master's orders.

The middle-aged man spoke again.

“Nona Anna, please come with us. Sir wants to meet you.” Rudyard's tone sounded gentle, yet the gazes of his two eyes seemed menacing.

Anna did not pry at the middle-aged man's words which sounded like a request, but looked like an order from the way the man looked at him.

Anna looked at him while smiling for a while.

He recalled Rudyard Lau was a person who used to be very friendly to him.

Previously, Anna thought she could talk comfortably to the middle-aged man and wanted to ask him how his father responded after learning that Cassey had tried to kill him.

But, his original intention had been lost.

“You seem to have been spying on me for a long time, right? You're not even surprised by my recovery from the severe injuries caused by the Cassey persecution. You know, I should have been dead by then if someone kind didn't save me.” Anna said calmly.

Upon seeing Rudyard seeming to be at a loss for his words in response to what he had just said, Anna again spoke with her voice that was as calm as before.

“Lagian, if dad really wants to meet me, wouldn't he be able to contact me directly and ask me to come? How could a father never call his own daughter?”

After saying so, Anna again smiled at the middle-aged man.

"Miss, master actually wanted to pick you up since two weeks ago. But Miss Stewart's paid Hunter always blocks us as if we were about to kidnap you."

Anna was a little surprised to hear the information. At one point, Gina told no one else about her whereabouts other than her family doctor.

"Did Gina lie?"

"If that's true, wouldn't you be able to pick me up if he came alone? Are those people able to stop him?"

Now it was Rudyard's turn to be silent. What Anna said is true. Even if it wasn't Brandon Lloyd straight away, enough of him to handle it himself, he was confident of defeating one of Gina Stewart's hired bodyguards and taking Anna away with them.

Rudyard then looked around the balcony. He wanted to know how many people were there. It would be very bad if someone else listened to this talk.

Fortunately, there was only one man there who was sitting a bit away from them.

Rudyard could sense the faint Mana energy from the man. He suspected that the man was a beginner Hunter who was still ranked F. He also felt a little calm.

He was not too worried if he had to make a fuss with her, if later seen taking Anna away by force.

Rudyard Lau looked back at Anna.

“Nona, please. We don't want to make a fuss here.” Rudyard said in a half-whispering voice. This time his expression softened a little.

At that moment, a waiter came to bring Anna's cake.

Anna looked at the bewildered waiter to place her customer's order on the table, as Rudyard blocked her.

“Please on the pack only, I have to go immediately.” Anna said to the waiter.

The servant glanced at Rudyard, who was looking at him haughtily, then he left from there.

Anna looked back at Rudyard after the maid had already been far away from them.

Rudyard thought Anna would go with them, forcing his smile on the girl.

However, what Anna said afterwards, made Rudyard's face stiffen.

“Very strange, the guilty ones even have a relaxed attitude like you guys. You know if Cassey's trying to kill me, but you seem to be on his side.” Said Anna. He no longer bothered to speak politely. His eyes this time seemed threatening.

Rudyard looked surprised at first, but his expression turned cold again afterwards. The middle-aged man looked unhappy with what Anna had just said. Especially, since there are two followers here, who don't know the real problem that's going on between Anna and Cassey.

The middle-aged man advanced his body and placed his hand on the table to speak to Anna with the intention to give the girl a little intimidation.

But just as he was about to speak, Anna suddenly stood up from her seat and gawked away leaving him.

Still thinking Anna was going to go with them, Rudyard nodded at his two followers to escort Anna to the car.

At that moment, a handsome man of tall stature and had burly muscles protruding from behind his shirt, was already standing beside Anna.

Staring straight at Rudyard Lau, the man spoke to Anna.

“Nona, You don't need to go with them if you don't want it.”

After saying those words to Anna, the man stepped behind Anna to block Rudyard Lau and his 2 followers who were now looking at her with puzzled gazes.
