Jasmine pushed the two away and turned toward Tim. She used her Ring of Illusions to place invisibility on him, but for so reason, the illusion would land on him. It just didn't work.
Jasmine wondered if it had sothing to do with Silvereye and his weird eyepatch. That was the only answer.
Several of the people in the bar weren't sure what was happening, but they had brought out their guns at this point, aiming to shoot if need be.
Jasmine quickly ran up to Tim to try and see if she could do sothing by touching him. When she touched him, she saw herself go from invisible to becoming visible.
"Well, well, well," Silvereye spoke as he stood up. "What do we have here."
Jasmine's face paled now that she was visible to everyone. "Hello, young lass. Who might you be?"
Jasmine slowly moved back while Tim stood in front of her.
"Are you the one with the ring?" Silvereye asked.
Jasmine used her ring to beco invisible once more, but Silvereye snapped his fingers and the invisibility disappeared from her once again.
"Do not test , wench," Silvereye said with an angry look. "Or I won't hesitate to kill you. Answer , who sent you two."
Jasmine breathed in and out deeply, completely paralyzed by fear at the mont. The many guns that pointed toward them were enough to make her regret every single thing she had done leading up to this point.
She should have rejected Ning's mission. He had sent her to a death trap without her knowing.
"We ca here on our own," Tim answered.
Captain Hook finally managed to get himself up and muttered sothing angrily as he tightened the loosened hook on his hand. "Just kill them already. Why are you having them talk?" he asked.
"I think I'll just do that," Silvereye asked. "The boy said no one sent him and he ca on his own. So he can die on his own."
He pointed his gun on Tim. "Everyone, shoot him."
Tim heard the guns click and knew if he did not act in any way, he would die. He wished he could do sothing, anything at all, and that was when he realized that he could use his Jewelry box again.
He didn't know when it had beco accessible again, but it had and Tim used it.
There were only so many things within that could save his life right now. In fact, there was perhaps just once.
Before sleeping the earlier night, Tim had tested the various aspects of his Jewelry box and what he could save within it. Of them, the thing that he had checked just once was its ability to save ti.
Tim had used it and had seen a minute pass by in just a second. The ti that he should have experienced had been saved in the box.
As such, when he accepted it right now, he got the additional 59 seconds he had lost back, all of which he chose to use within the next 2 seconds.
Along with Ti, he pulled in Strength and ntal Aptitude to think better. His brain took in all the variables at once and formulated the perfect escape asure.
He jumped away from where everyone shot and rushed over to where Captain Hook and Silvereye were.
He moved next to Hook and grabbed the hook, pointing it to Jasmine. He activated the hook, knowing what it did thanks to Silvereye earlier, and pulled Jasmine away from where a stray bullet could hit her.
He changed his attention toward the other side of the room and pulled a few of the people in the crowd to cause chaos there.
Then, he reached for the floor where the Book of Treasures was and grabbed it, placing it inside his shirt with no wasted movent. At this point, it was ti to run away from the bar, but as he did, he saw Silvereye and the silver eyepatch.
Tim made the instant decision. He grabbed Silvereye's eyepatch and ripped it out of his face, revealing a hideously wounded eye underneath that was all white, even the iris.
The bullets had already struck the wall where Tim had been, so the way pathway to run away was clear. He rushed down toward Jasmine and grabbed her to run away.
Just when he grabbed her, the box stopped working and he was out from slowed ti.
'What?' Tim thought, a possibility coming to him at once. The eyepatch had so sort of power to stop soone from being unable to use their treasures, and anyone who touched that person.
Silvereye felt the force of the sudden pull and faceplanted into the ground in front of him, while Captain Hook felt his hook get pulled for so reason. "You bastards!" he shouted at Tim, who stared back at him.
Tim felt sothing pull onto him and instantly realized Hook was using the hook to pull him.
Without hesitation, he let go of Jasmine's hand, feeling the ability to use treasures co back to him. Ti slowed at the sa ti, and he used the silver eyepatch on his hand.
He realized he could target a location or a person with it, and if there was soone using power there, it would get canceled.
Tim targeted Hook, and as soon as he did that, the pull he felt coming toward him disappeared.
Then, he reached for Jasmine's fingers within the remaining few seconds of slowed ti and used her ring to turn themselves invisible.
An acute pain filled his head from using too many of the treasures at once, but cool energy gave him relief, flowing from the box where he had stored health previously.
He was more than happy to learn that health could help him in this instance as well.
With little ti to spare now, Tim carried Jasmine onto his shoulders and left the bar with everyone confused as to what had happened, running away into the streets in the evening, and making their way back to the hotel.
