"Sir, I didn't mean to reveal your information. My friend is very influential in this field. Coincidentally, he learnt that I had found my son. It turns out that he is also looking for someone. I hope, of course, that if you don't want to..." Alberto sounded nervous as if he feared offending the person on the other end of the line.
Bruce replied coldly, "I'm only helping you because I have goals. You should know that I am a selfish man. It's best not to contact me again for something like this. Besides, I still look forward to another chance to work with you, Mr Bert."
"Yes, I understand."
Their conversation ended just like that. Bruce didn't think he was being heartless by refusing to help his friend.
Bruce never thought of himself as a kind-hearted man. He could do a good thing, but it depended on his mood. Bad things happen all th

At that moment, Bruce could feel his body becoming lighter, and he could see the movements of the Waylen Guards surrounding him."They're slowing down! No. That's not it. I'm faster!" he thought.Feeling confident, Bruce grabbed the wrist of the dagger-wielding Waylen Guard and easily kicked him in the stomach.Guardsman Waylen's eyes were shocked, his expression slowly turning to fear. Nevertheless, the man still bounced off. The bodyguard crashed into the warehouse wall, coughing up blood and then collapsing on the spot.Although Bruce's strength had not increased in strength, the speed that increased to a certain point allowed him to generate power by applying the concept of the laws of motion."The target strength does not match the information provided. Number eight can't fight anymore. We have to change our approach. Numbers one, two, and three will go in on the target, while numbers four, five, and six will cut off its escape route. Numbers

The sniper raised his head slowly. The grenade launcher had paralysed his shoulder."Sir, the target...""Cough! Cough! Cough! I didn't expect you to be so cruel when dealing with your comrades."The sniper stared wide-eyed. He placed one hand on the dagger attached to his waist. Before he could pull the dagger out, his throat was already cut by the dagger."Since you like to play with guns, I'll play with you." Bruce appeared in front of the dead sniper, whose body was covered in blood. Bruce picked up a sniper rifle and started shooting into the air like a madman.BANG!"The sniper has been killed. Everyone, move to the eleven o'clock position in the warehouse and start firing at the target!"Gunshots rang out in the warehouse. Soon after, there was silence.Amidst the smoke from the guns, the smell of blood spread through the air.Phoenix's heart sank as he stared at the floor covered in a thick layer of dust. Just th

"H-how can you be so strong?" The burly man incredulously looked at Bruce. In shock, Bruce took the punch head-on, and the reflected wound paralysed his arm."Is this strong enough? I'm not done yet."Bruce laughed out loud as he continued to pound the burly man with his fists. At that moment, Bruce felt a sensation he had never felt before, and his entire body was filled with power.Meanwhile, the burly man gritted his teeth and took the punch head-on, punching back at Bruce.Neither used any skills or dodged; they just smashed each other with their fists.There was blood on their fists, and cracks had formed in the ground beneath them due to the constant impact they were making.As Bruce thought the burly man was even more frightened, "This young man is a monster. He has exchanged dozens of blows with me, but even he hasn't lost. Instead, the speed at which I throw my punches has slowed, and I can't even feel my hands anymore. I'm just unc

In response, Bruce nodded."This guy is a good fighter. His fists are very strong. It took me a long time to beat him. Most of the injuries on my body were caused by him," Bruce speaks up while staring at his shaking arm.If Bruce hadn't exchanged a power boost from the System at the last moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat the burly man.After a moment of silence, Henley asked, "Mr Waylen, do you know the identity of this burly man?"His identity? " Bruce shook his head."If I'm not mistaken, this man is a Carlton Boxing athlete, a student of Zander of Mount Taurus High School in Jedaka," as Henley spoke, he pointed towards the bull's head tattoo on the man's thigh, where his underwear had been pulled down. "This is the Carlton family crest. ""Carlton boxing? What is that? Is it some fighting skill?" Bruce looked at Henley in confusion. The burly man was indeed quite strong. He was much stronger than the average special f

On Monday morning, Bruce followed Claudia to school."When will Mr Jennings be back?" Bruce asked quietly."My father is busy with some business overseas. He won't be back for a week at the earliest," Claudia said softly.Seeing Bruce fall silent again, Claudia quickly started another topic. "Pierson asked me to thank you. Pierson transferred to another school and left this city.""Leaving town?" thought Bruce.Then, Claudia nodded. "I hope she can start a new life.""I-I heard Sarah say that even the big drug gang in Carthage was wiped out. Is that because of you?" Claudia also looked at Bruce, even though she already knew the answer. Bruce didn't say anything.It had been a few days since the events of that night. Bruce's wounds had recovered quickly. Although Bruce still had some internal injuries, he looked no different from the outside.Many people got what they wanted from that incident. Because someone had surrendered vo

"That way, when you see me at school, don't call me your brother-in-law," Bruce said awkwardly.Paula nodded. "I understand. I'll refer to you as my schoolmate.""Good. I'll leave if there's nothing else." Bruce was relieved and prepared to leave. However, Paula stopped him."Wait. Um. Bruce, don't you need to return the favour to me for keeping your secret?" Bruce saw the girl's devilishly sly gaze."Shit! Beautiful people, indeed, have no brains! Paula is even blackmailing me right now!" Bruce thought to himself."All right, I'll treat you to a meal sometime." Bruce laughed.Paula shook her head."Then, I'll take you to the amusement park in Carthage," Bruce offered.Paula shook her head again. Bruce needed clarification. "Then, what do you want?"Paula thought momentarily and replied, "I want you to promise me one condition. No, there are three conditions.""Wait, you said one!""Really? I'm not sure. An

Mrs Augustine rolled her eyes at the teachers around her.Then, the woman looked at Zara with a smile. "Thank you! By the way, Bruce should attend our meeting tonight!"Of course, Mrs Augustine realised that Zara and Bruce had written the paper's information.Previously, Mrs Augustine might have been sceptical about the young man. However, at this time, Mrs Augustine did not doubt Bruce. Bruce could have told her that the financial crisis would happen the next day, and she would have believed him.After that, Mrs Augustine started calling.

They invited Henley to a private room in a hotel and planned to kill him secretly.Although Henley was a good fighter back then, he could not defeat many opponents by himself. Moreover, Henley's opponents were more than ready to kill him.When Henley was in a difficult situation, unexpectedly, Sasha appeared out of nowhere.Sasha fought them off with a knife and was unafraid to face the thugs.

"You said your evidence was stored in a shopping mall in the centre of Carthage?" Bruce looked at the Masked Fox suspiciously.The woman nodded. "Yes. How can I take those things with me? Of course, I'll find a place to hide them."Bruce thought for a moment."Bruce, I think this woman might be lying to you," Derek said cautiously.Bruce looked at the Masked Fox again."Believe it or not, but I value my life very highly," the woman responded with a shrug."Sarah, wait here. You can call the police and have them come. I'll go with him to get the evidence." Bruce made a decision.The Masked Fox smiled and looked at Bruce. "Young man, aren't you afraid I will attack you if you go alone?""Before you attack, my sword will split your veins," Bruce replied coldly.Bruce pushed the Masked Fox out.

Roy continued to crawl on the ground. Roy did not have the courage of Dextor, who could kill everyone, including himself, and all he wanted to do right now was live.SLASH!Roy screamed in pain. There were four Soul Swords embedded in his thigh."Release me. Please let me go. Bruce, we are still family, after all." Roy prayed while crawling.Bruce moved his finger slightly, and four more Soul Swords pierced Roy's back."Family? Now you know that we're family? I haven't forgotten how you, the family, treated us, mother and daughter."A murderous aura and a cold feeling, at this moment, everything appeared in Bruce's mind. Four more Soul Swords were stuck on Roy's back."Ah, Bruce. I am guilty. I know I'm guilty; I'm just a dog from the Waylen family. That, those things are not what I want to do." Roy cried and shouted; he was scared.SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!Roy's arm was in pain as four Soul Swords were stabbed into h

"At that time, you already knew that person was a fraud. Why didn't you expose that woman at that time?" Sarah asked in confusion.Bruce shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, I'm not sure if that woman is an imposter, and if she really is an imposter, and I expose her directly, won't you be in danger?"Bruce walked towards Roy."And I really couldn't find any clues at the time. I'm not sure who was trying to hurt Mr Maverick.""So, instead of looking around like a blind cat, I co-operated. After saving Sarah, I created a fake death scene."Bruce took out the Supreme Gold Card from Roy's pocket."Some things that are not yours will never be yours!" Bruce said indifferently."Son of a bitch!" Roy gritted his teeth, and his hand pulled a gun from his waist.Bruce's fingers moved slightly, and a cold light flashed.A hand holding a gun landed on the ground, and blood splattered all over the floor."Ah... my hand."

In a villa on the city's outskirts, the morning light shines on the villa's roof."This is the first time I've felt so happy waking up in the morning, and with a glass of wine too. What a nice life." A young man in a nightgown holds a glass of red wine in his hand."Don't get too cocky, Lad. Everything is set. From now on, there is no more Mr. Maverick or Bruce in Carthage.""Everything in the underground world of Carthage is yours."Several figures walked out from behind. "But don't forget who gave you all this. Dextor, Mr Shelton."Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at Dextor in front of him. A smile appeared at the corner of Dextor's mouth as he raised the glass before Roy."Of course I understand. Without the Waylen family, I wouldn't have been able to take down my godfather.""It's all thanks to the Waylen family and Mr. Waylen," Dextor said in a flattering tone,"Feel free to let me know if you need anything!

Bruce was surprised to see Sarah with a wicked smile on her face."Cough! Why? You..." Bruce vomited another mouthful of blood and instantly fell to the ground.In disgust, Sarah threw away the bloody dagger in her hand and walked to Roy's side while swaying her hips."Mission accomplished. That dagger I used was poisoned, so she can't show her skills now, no matter how strong they are.""You'll be poisoned to death in half an hour." Sarah smiled wickedly.Bruce looked at Sarah and said angrily, "You're not Sarah! Who the hell are you?""Ranked third in the Apol Slayer Ranking, Masked Fox.""Sarah" licked her lips and grabbed the back of her neck.A crack appeared in Sarah's skin. Then, Sarah's scalp and hair were removed. The real face under the mask was revealed. The person had short hair, a sharp nose, fair skin, and sly eyes."How, how did this happen? Where is Sarah?"

"This is indeed too coincidental; could it be that someone..." Sarah muttered. Bruce raised his head and looked at the rehabilitation centre behind him."This is not possible. It must have been planned.""Someone got rid of all these people before we could get any information and left us with no leads!" Bruce clenched his fist.Now, all the clues that might have existed were gone. Even if Bruce believed in Mr Maverick, it was useless that he had no evidence to prove that Mr Maverick was not a drug dealer. The court needed evidence!"Then what should we do now?" asked Sarah. Bruce said nothing."Well... we haven't eaten since this morning. How about... let's eat something?" Sarah whispered.Bruce raised his head and walked while pushing his motorbike."Hey, where are you going?""Eat.""Who do you think is behind this? Everything is well planned; the person behind all this is not someone to be underestimated.""And I know Mr Maverick's influence very well. " While eating, Bruce frowned

I heard that something happened to the Sea Queen that you travelled on Yakut during a business trip!""Captain Johnson!" Everyone in the police station was surprised by Sarah's arrival.The two went to the innermost room of the police station where the prisoner was."Why is Mr Maverick still locked up at the police station?" asked Bruce.Bruce says the inmate must be transferred to prison after the first hearing."I heard that because Mr Maverick hasn't explained much, and the police still want to know how many drug dealers there are in Carthage, so he's locked up here for now."As Sarah explained, a gate blocked her way."Captain Johnson."

Leviathan walked up to Bruce.Bruce looked around. "Why did you wake up so early? Did you not sleep well?""I woke up when you opened the door, Bruce. I have installed infrared alarm devices on the walls and all the gates of the welfare house. Once someone enters the welfare house, I will be alerted by the tablet."Leviathan took out a small tablet, which showed the display of some software.

"Look out!" Bruce suddenly pushed Sarah away.BANG!The bullet hit the ground and left a hole."Again?" Sarah fell to the ground. Fortunately, Sarah quickly held her hands to the ground to balance herself. Otherwise, Sarah would have been injured.Saran wondered why people in Carthage could get guns so easily. Sarah had already experienced several gunshots in a day.BANG! BANG!There were two more shots. Despite the silencer, Bruce could still hear the gunshots faintly.Two Soul Swords appeared in Bruce's hands; then he parried the two incoming bullets—the impact produced sparks."There is one right in front, 1 o'clock direction.""One more at seven o'clock."Bruce confirmed the shooter's location through the bullet trajectory.
