Derek nodded and pointed to the building. "This private welfare home has been established for a long time. Since it's a private company, it can't receive financial assistance from the government. This welfare home has survived on donations from generous people. But donations have decreased over time as the number of public welfare homes increases, and many children leave. There are probably less than ten children left here."
Bruce entered the building while listening to Derek's explanation. Just as Bruce approached the entrance, a floating rock flew towards him.
Bruce raised his arm and caught the stone before it hit him.
Bruce looked in the direction where the stone came from and found several children who looked thin and weak. However, their eyes looked otherwise as they stared at Bruce stubbornly.
One of the lads pointed at Bruce and Derek and shouted, "Get out of here. You're all bad people!"<

Leonard angrily pointed his finger at Bruce, sneering, "Who are you? How dare you hit me! Don't make me kill you!"Meanwhile, Bruce put away the blood-stained bricks and cleaned his hands. Bruce replied calmly, "I'll leave the rest to you, Derek.""Don't worry, Mr Waylen. This insignificant person is not worth your effort," Derek replied as he walked over with a wooden stick. At the sight of Leonard trying to get up, Derek stomped viciously on the man's body in the suit."Didn't you just ask who that guy was?" Derek pointed at Bruce, who helped Troy up.Derek smiled and added, "Now, I'll tell you who that man is. Mr Waylen is my boss."Derek's heart was overjoyed at the turn of events. Derek had no chance to help Bruce. After all, Bruce's enemies were usually above his abilities. Derek was determined to use this golden opportunity to show off his skills.Meanwhile, Leonard snapped at his men, "Why are you all just standing around? Please get

Shortly after, Derek brought food and distributed it to the children per Bruce's instructions.The food Derek brought was bread, milk, oatmeal and doughnuts.The children were already drooling at the sight of all the food. Instead of eating them immediately, they stare at Lydia and wait for her permission.Lydia smiled and said, "Mr Bruce bought this for you. Hurry up and thank him.""Thank you, Mr Bruce!" the children said gratefully."Eat up; if there's not enough food, we'll buy more." After getting Bruce's permission, the children began to devour the food as if they hadn't eaten anything decent in a long time.Bruce then turned towards Lydia.Bruce already understood the situation Lydia was in.Their location was one of the few undeveloped areas along the border of Carthage. It was an ordinary old district. But recently, the Millennium Group became interested in developing it. They sent people to buy houses in the area to r

"Bastard, where are you from? It is my territory." Henry took a few steps forward and glared at Bruce.More than fifty people around him were also glaring at Bruce. Most people would have backed down when in this impossible situation."Are you the head of this area?" Bruce looked at Henry and then at Derek, who was beside him.Derek approached Bruce and murmured in a low voice in Bruce's ear, "Mr Maverick is not in charge of this area. Although Mr Maverick is the head of the Carthage area, several people are still under him.""I'm the leader here. Tell me who supports you," Henry demanded haughtily.Just as Derek was about to show him who they were, Bruce stopped him. Bruce smiled as he patted Derek's shoulder and instructed Derek gently, "Don't scare them. I have plans in Carthage, so I need to start exerting dominance. Since there are so many people on their side, call our people too, as many as possible."Derek's eyes lit up. Derek nodded

"Tell me your account number," Bruce said as he took out his mobile phone and started typing. Although still a little hesitant, Henry said it anyway.Within minutes, a notification appeared on Henry's mobile phone, informing him that about $150,000 had been transferred to his account."T-this..." Henry exclaimed before his voice disappeared. Although Henry was the head of the gang, he was still nothing more than a child. It was the first time Henry had seen so much money, and he couldn't stop staring at Bruce in disbelief."I'm allowing you to work for me," Bruce replied calmly. "As you can see, money is not an issue."Henry immediately turned to his men and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Come, welcome, Mr Waylen!"No one could understand the situation. However, they followed his orders."Mr Waylen!""Mr Waylen, I apologise for my ignorance earlier. Feel free to tell us what we need to do," Henry said with a loving smile.

A middle-aged man was talking on the phone in a room on the top floor of a high-rise building."What? The construction of the old district is being held up? A man named Bruce Waylen, who has the support of Mr Maverick, wants to buy the land. All right, I understand." After hearing the news, the man's expression turned grim as he put down the phone."Bruce again. Tell me, what are you going to do now, Miguel?" The man looked at the other man next to him. That man was none other than Miguel Kovacic.Miguel smiled sarcastically and said, "Bruce? I can't believe now that Bruce has dared to offend you, Mr Fuller. Bruce is everywhere.""Cut the crap, Miguel. When we worked together before, you promised me that you would handle matters related to the House of Jasmine. However, I just got the latest news that Wayne Jennings got a business deal from overseas. Wayne is probably on a plane on his way home right now, and by then, the House of Jasmine will be even str

"You, you're driving too fast!" Claudia reprimanded Bruce. The woman held the handle beside the car seat tightly. Claudia saw the car before them and felt like hitting it, but Bruce managed to swerve and avoid the collision. The same scene kept happening along the highway. Claudia's adrenaline was surging. "The distance from here to Nohan is about twenty kilometres, and they only give us ten minutes to get there. If we fail to do so, only God knows what that bastard will do. Just calm yourself." With that said, Bruce gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator even harder. Claudia stopped talking after hearing Bruce's explanation. Claudia fastened her seatbelt and sat down obediently. System: "Mission: Fast and full of energy. Reach Nohan with the fastest speed. The faster the speed, the bigger the reward. There is no penalty if you fail the mission." The system suddenly sounded, adding to Bruce's lethargy. However, what happened had happened, so Bruce decided to leave. "Is

"Why do I feel like we're going to fly? Claudia wanted to open her eyes, but she closed them again as soon as she opened them.As Claudia looked at the retreating scene, she felt like her heart would jump out of her chest."Flying? Haha! We can fly if we have wings now," Bruce said while looking at the dashboard of his car.On the dashboard of his Porsche 911, the highest speed the car can travel is 330 kilometres per hour. However, the speed indicator has been wavering around that figure since about half an hour ago.System: "Mission complete. Time taken to reach the destination: 8.35 minutes. Mission reward: 7 Expertise Points. Current remaining Expertise Points: 45."Bruce breathed a relieved sigh while Claudia exited the car and vomited on the roadside."Are you okay?" Bruce walked up to Claudia and looked at her pale white face.Claudia waved her hand and took a deep breath before she spoke. "I-I'm fine. My father, where is he?"<

It seemed like Flying Spikes had unlimited spikes as he kept throwing them one after another. The man kept shifting and kept his distance from Bruce.Since Bruce needed to dodge attacks while charging forward, getting close to the Flying Spikes became difficult."Damn! This guy is good at long-range combat. If this keeps up, the duration of my skills will run out!" Bruce was annoyed.System: "Mission: You must not die in the next ten minutes. Reward: 30 Expertise Points. Additional conditions: The user cannot redeem skills in the next ten minutes. Countdown: 9.59."Bruce was dumbfounded when he felt a crisis coming over him."I can't die in the next ten minutes," Bruce mused.Normally, the system would not assign such a ridiculous mission. That meant Bruce would be in danger in the next ten minutes."Is this Spike Gate in front of me the threat? I can't defeat him quickly because of his attack skill with spikes. Although that guy is h

"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. There were several cars parked on the roadside by the men in black.Bruce casually found a car and threw the Masked Fox in th

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."

Bruce couldn't believe the boy had undergone so much change in less than half a month. But Bruce could still recognise Leviathan's voice."Bruce, did you return because of Mr Maverick and the others?" 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.

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.
