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

    While Bruce saw Wayne getting ready to sign, he kept thinking of ways to escape their predicament. "Most importantly, the Silver Flora is ranked higher than the Flying Spikes. That means it's very likely that the Silver Flora is stronger than the Flying Spikes. Not to mention, Claudia is still in her hands. Shit! Damn mission. I can't even change my skills because of this!" Bruce cursed in his heart. If Bruce did nothing, the three of them would probably die. Bruce didn't believe the killers would keep their promise and let them go. Wayne also realised that. Because of this, Wayne wrote very slowly, his fingers trembling endlessly. "Hey, old man, what took you so long? It was only a few words. Are you done?" Flying Spikes shouted impatiently. Wayne said weakly, "Me, my hands are shaking." "Alright, alright. Hurry up." Silver Flora glanced at Flying Spikes, signalling him to end Bruce's life once Wayne finished signing. Meanwhile, the woman would end Wayne and his daughter's lives

    There were seven bullets in Bruce's gun, and Claudia fired them all at once. After the shot, Flora Silver stopped her attack on Bruce and turned her gaze towards the seven bullets flying towards her. Regardless of how fast Flora Silver moved, she could not dodge the seven bullets successfully fired at such close range. Bruce managed to dodge the bullets from the sniper because it was from a long distance. Even though the sniper had used a silencer, the person could faintly hear the gunshot as the trigger was pulled. Having good hearing is important for an assassin. Silver Flora can also easily determine the origin of gunfire through her voice and observe the path of bullets with her sharp eyes. Still, after doing both above, the woman could not dodge a bullet aimed at her twenty metres away. Even so, the woman smiled as she stared at the seven bullets approaching her. It was clear that none of the bullets could hit the woman. Nonetheless, the next second, the woman was confused

    At Carthage Hospital, the red lights outside two operating theatres brightly burned as Claudia waited anxiously.After an hour, the red light outside one of the operating theatres dimmed.A nurse left the room, saying, "Madam, the patient is now stable. The wounds on his limbs have been stitched up, but he is still in a coma due to heavy blood loss.""Thank you." Claudia thanked the nurse. Then, Claudia returned to face the operating theatre, where the red light was still on. The person lying in the operating theatre was Claudia's father.PAKK! PAKK! PAKK!Heavy footsteps echoed, and a figure appeared in the corridor. That person was Sarah. The woman looked around her and quickly hurried when she saw Claudia."Claudia, how is Mr Jennings?Claudia raised her head and turned to Sarah. When Claudia was about to open her mouth, her tears flowed uncontrollably."Sarah, a-my dad, d-he..."Sarah immediately gave Claudia a warm

    Bruce looked at Wayne, who was lying on the operating table. Bruce recalled the scene where Wayne rushed to run and got stabbed by the silver flower in place of Claudia."You are a good father. How I wish my father had half of your goodness," Bruce said and sighed deeply. Bruce looked up and closed his eyes.With a thought, the system's screen was projected inside Bruce's head."Now that the scientific method has failed, only the unscientific method remains. The basic Divine Healing skill is currently in the waiting period, and the waiting period is seven days. There will still be a chance if I can perform the skill now that Wayne's body has just died. However, if I wait for another seven days, I think his body will start decomposing," Bruce thought."System, is there a method to reset the waiting period time of the skill? Or are there other healing skills that have similar effects to the Divine Healing Skill?" Bruce mentally projected it into the system.

    Someone suddenly appeared on the roof floor of the hospital."Bruce is here." The three people, enjoying the view from the hospital's top, turned around after noticing the approaching man.Bruce approached the three as he observed their clothes from top to bottom. The three were a woman, a young man, and a middle-aged man.The woman was most likely a sniper who had helped him back then, while the middle-aged man was their leader."Hello, Mr Waylen. You must have a lot of questions by now. But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Freddie Guillermo."After speaking with a smile, the man pointed at the woman beside him. "This is our team's sniper, Amanda Bell.""Nice to meet you," the woman said with a smile."And this is my assistant, Felipe Gustavvo."On the other hand, the young man looked at Bruce with a burning gaze. "You are very good. Let's have a match when we have free time.BUCK!Freddie immediately h

    Bruce walked down the stairs; there were many thoughts in his head. Bruce was thinking about the two assassins, who were both extremely powerful. Bruce had to use some super abilities to match their strength.Although wounded, they were in the darkness while he was in the light.No one knows what kind of dirty tricks they will pull.The biggest problem right now was that Bruce still owed the 65 Points of Expertise system. Bruce didn't know what punishment he would receive if he couldn't return everything in seven days.As Bruce continued to think about things, he arrived at the special care ward without realising it.Wayne lay in the ward, still in a coma. The thin and dry Claudia sat beside him, holding her father's hand and whispering. Claudia's swollen red eyes were already drained of tears. It was probably the first time they were so close to each other in more than a decade."When will Mr Jennings wake up?" A voice sounded from the side

    PRAK!The glass bottles on the table shattered, causing the broken glass to scatter everywhere."You failed again! Again! What are you all doing?" Dominic looked angrily at Miguel, who was standing in front of him.Miguel's expression did not look good either. Miguel never expected that the seemingly perfect surgery would fail."I didn't expect this to happen either. I spent over $150 million to hire those two assassins," the man said grimly."More than 150 million dollars? Ha. But those two expensive assassins couldn't even kill a single kid! You must be joking now, Mr Kovacic!" Dominic glared at him."Wayne is still alive. If and when that man's collaboration with overseas companies succeeds, he'll come and mess with me! When that happens, I'll ensure the Kovacic family won't be free."Despite the slight threat in his words, Miguel smiled. "You don't have to worry about that, Mr Fuller. According to my eyes, Wayne is currently in a coma at Carthage Hospital. It's hard to say whether

    Inside the hospital, Sarah walked towards Wayne's ward with a box and bag of clothes in her hand.Claudia was still sitting by Wayne's bedside and looked at him with a puzzled look."I brought you some clothes, Claudia. I don't know what Bruce was up to, but he said he was leaving to sort out some issues. Bruce asked me to bring you this box and said I should only open it before you. Bruce also warned me not to break it because I won't be able to replace it," Sarah said as she put down the bag of clothes.Sarah then started to open the box right in front of Claudia. However, Claudia did not notice Sarah. Claudia continued to watch her father with a confused look."That lad only knows how to talk nonsense. How could a box like this contain something I can't replace if I break it? Is this gold? Diamonds? I know Bruce..." At that moment, Sarah stopped talking."Claudia, Claudia, look at this." Sarag's voice sounded emotional."I'm not in a good

    "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?" Bruce gritted his teeth and roared."You

    "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. "Infrared alarm device?""Did Mrs Sanders buy this tablet for you? How did you get an infrared alarm device?" Bruce asked in surprise."I bought the tablet while I installed the infrared alarm device and others in the welfare house. I did it when everyone was asleep at night.""Miley and Mrs Sanders don't know about it.""The whole thing cost

    "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. Bruce looked to the side and kicked the wooden door next to him."Go in and hide inside. I'll get rid of them!" Bruce pushed Sarah into the room.BANG! BANG!Ther
