"I knew it was true, he really did get the money." A man's voice declared.
Karl turned and found that four men were standing near the door, while one stood near Rae with a blade at her throat.
"Don't do anything stupid, and nobody gets hurt. Just transfer over the credits, and we won't kill your little goth girlfriend." The apparent ringleader of the group, a human man in the later Spirit Immortal Stage, if Karl's guess was right, insisted.
His aura was stronger than the others, but Karl could still feel that there was something missing, the Immortal Spirit only partially formed.
Karl gave the cashier an apologetic look. "I'm sorry for what's about to happen."
The girl looked confused, and the leader of the group made a signal to his crony, whose blade sunk through Rae's suddenly incorporeal body.
