The staffer then saw the sword that was drenched with blood and the injured Lu Xiao. He realized the severity of the situation as fear appeared on his face.

"I-I'll… go call the guards." The staffer said as he turned back to run downstairs, without even being prompted to.

A few seconds later the staffer was gone, as he shouted out for help.

"Well, that was easy. Onto the next part then." Lin Mu spoke.

The others nodded, and Lin Mu turned around to go out through another balcony that opened to the front of the town center. This balcony opened above the mercenaries that were standing outside the town center. This was also the very balcony that the mayor used for giving his announcements and orders to the common people.

Lin Mu made sure that he made enough noise to attract attention. To do this, he slammed open the door of the balcony and walked onto it. The noise of the doors slamming attracted the attention of the people as they looked up at the balcony.

"Is the mayor going to do an announcement today?" A commoner said.

"Huh, has he finally decided to see us?" A mercenary spoke with dull eyes. Evidently, he was under the effect of the memory confounding powder.

"No! Who is that?" A few people shouted after seeing Lin Mu appear on the balcony disguised in the black clothes of the culprits.

People pointed at Lin Mu, and he noticed this.

'At least they see me.' Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu then looked to the side and jumped onto the lower roof that was to the side. Then from there he ran forward and leaped on to the building that was next to him. Lin Mu would have taken this route before instead of leaving from the office, as this was much easier, but the people would have seen him.

Mu ensured that he made flamboyant moves so that the people remembered him here. It was now that Hei Bao appeared from on the balcony and
