2024-10-29 19:42:56While wearing a serious expression, Bruce touched Emma's body, and the piercing cold made Bruce shudder.
Emma's body temperature must have been around minus 30 degrees Celsius.
Had it been an ordinary person, they would have been frozen to death. However, Bruce could feel that the woman's vital signs were normal, besides her pulse and blood pressure dropping.
"Emma has what disease?" Frowning, Bruce looked at Emma, whose face was contorted in pain. Emma's body temperature was still dropping, falling drastically by at least ten degrees Celsius in a minute.
When Bruce touched Emma's body earlier, at that time, he only assumed that Emma had a condition that caused her body temperature to drop.
Despite having medical knowledge at the time, Bruce could not find a condition that could cause such symptoms even after racking his brain. It is no exaggeration to call this an unprecedented disease.
"Mmh... Mmh..." Over time, Emma seemed to be in even m

The next morning, a knock came from outside the room, followed by a girl's cries."Come out for breakfast!"Emma rubbed her eyes. "I slept so well yesterday. It felt like I was hugging a big heating pad," the woman thought."Mmm," Emma's sigh sounded.Suddenly, Emma felt something in her arms, like she was hugging an item. The sensation made Emma open her eyes, and in the next moment, she felt as if her heart would stop beating.A man's chest was right in front of her. Emma's arms were wrapped around a bloke, while Emma's long, slender legs were pressed against his thighs."Ah!" Emma cried out in surprise. At that moment, her eyes focused, and she recognised that the man was Bruce.Shocked by Emma's deafening scream, Bruce moved but only waved his hand lazily without opening his eyes fully."Shut up. Last night was excruciating, and I only fell asleep at dawn," Bruce said."Last night? Excruciating?" As Emma echoed those

The morning sun shines on Bruce's smiling lips as he mocks himself for his current situation."I now owe more than 100 Expertise Points. If that amount isn't repaid in one day, I'll have to collect another 20 Expertise Points as interest," Bruce thought.At that time, Bruce recalled the high-quality glass jade he saw in the tower on Jade Street.Bruce's eyes lit up as an idea came to his mind. "It's almost impossible for me to pay off this huge debt bit by bit by waiting for the System to give me an assignment. I have no choice but to take the risk now," Bruce mused.High-quality glass jade was the only solution Bruce could reach for. Although Bruce was still determining the number of Expertise Points he could absorb from it, it was still worth a try."Whatever. We're going to the auction today, so I'll take advantage of the opportunity to try and think of a way to buy that piece of glass jade. If I can't, I have no choice but to take a shortcut,"

Before Bruce could catch his breath on the bed, Liam jumped up to attack him with a dagger.At that time, the difference between armed and unarmed people became clear.Bruce's fighting skills were on par with Liam's, but it was clear that Liam had more experience in combat. All the moves Liam made were deadly, and he was clearly in an advantageous position with his dagger.While Bruce was dodging Liam's punches, he heard footsteps from the stairs. Instantly his expression changed."Are Emma and Donna coming? Shit! They will be in great danger if they enter the room at this time. Liam is a c-class criminal fugitive. I'm not even a match for him to begin with. If I have to protect them, my position will be even worse," Bruce thought.But if Bruce shouted to stop them from going upstairs, normally, people would be more likely to rush upstairs. They would rush in out of curiosity."Don't switch your mind when you're fighting."After that

Liam looked at Bruce, who was sliding towards him. Liam's right leg might have been injured, but it didn't affect Liam's ability much. Their abilities were still evenly matched, just like before. Their battle zone slowly moved right until they were by the side of the dressing table. Bruce's eyes lit up when an idea came to his mind. Suddenly, Liam felt like his trousers were caught on something. Liam's trousers somehow pulled down, exposing almost his entire bum. "Oh? So even murderers like to wear cartoon underpants." Bruce was dumbfounded when he saw Liam's underwear. They were blue underpants with pictures of cartoon characters posing. Although Liam was slightly surprised by Bruce's interruption regarding his favourites, Liam's attack did not seem hesitant. Liam ended up getting very angry. Liam did not even have time to pull his trousers back up. However, the crotch of Liam's trousers affects his movements. The sound of ripping fabric rang throughout the room as she furiously

The wardrobe was messy, but Donna didn't find anything strange.Emma breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you looking for? Tell me. I'll help you find it."Emma's tone at that moment sounded like she was back to being an older sister like before.Donna frowned slightly as if wondering why there was nothing in the room. When she looked around again, a cylindrical object under the blanket suddenly caught her attention.Donna lifted the blanket, only to find a curling iron for women.It is common to see such an object in a woman's room. However, Dona noticed that there were some liquid stains on it.A hint of curiosity flashed in Donna's eyes before she looked at her brother meaningfully. "Hmm, I know it might be hard not having a boyfriend, but... you don't need to use this. I-I think my stuff should be in my room. Let me go back there and look for it. I'm already a tomb, and I'll be out shortly."After saying that, Donna ran out of Emm

The Phaeton car drove along the road; Bruce glanced at Emma in the front passenger seat. Before, it took him a lot of effort to lie to her. As for the previous two items, he had thrown them away. When Bruce pulled to the hotel entrance, he saw Emma's car still parked there. "I'll go upstairs to pick them up. After that, come with me to the auction," Emma said coldly, then she opened the car door and exited the car. The black dress she wore brought out a mature and calm aura. Bruce watched as Emma entered the hotel and then called Freddie. "Hello," Bruce greeted once the call was connected. "When are you coming back? We've been waiting for you at the hospital all day," Freddie's slightly agitated voice came from the other end of the line. "I met Liam earlier." Freddie was silent for a moment. His voice turned serious as he said, "Where's Liam? You should never have come into contact with him. Liam's skills..." "I already fought with that guy," Bruce interrupted. Immediately, Br

Quinton felt his heart break into pieces as he saw the "raw stones" he had carefully selected being picked up by others individually. From time to time, Quinton would glance at the auction panel Emma had left on her chair; then, he would feel the urge to pick it up. However, Quinton was well aware of the rules of the auction. The person holding the auction panel must be the same person registered to attend the auction. Alden leaned into Quinton's ear and whispered, "Do you think we'll get caught?" Quinton frowned slightly. The man hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No way, we've managed to play the role very well. Emma shouldn't be suspecting us." "But..." Alden wanted to say something, but Quinton glared at him. The younger man immediately shut his mouth. At that moment, they heard footsteps coming from behind them. Emma finally returned, but her face looked so pale. Bruce was seen following behind her. After sitting in her chair, Emma looked at Quinton apologeti

Bruce was tempted to take a picture of Quinton's face immediately. The man's expression was very good."Emma Agnesia, what are you doing?" Quinton asked as he looked at Emma. Her face was grim.Emma replied, "What am I doing? I want to ask you the same question, Mr Morrison! If I remember correctly, you owe a favour to my father, don't you? My father's company. Agnesia Jewellery Shop was doing quite well twenty years ago. You were friends with my father at that time. However, you have a foreign debt of $45,000 because you participated in a round of rock gambling."As Emma spoke with a serious expression, her eyes were glued to Quinton. It was a gaze so intense that Emma couldn't help but look away a few times."45 thousand dollars! You should know that 45,000 dollars twenty years ago was equivalent to today's purchasing power, Mr Morrison! My father felt sorry for you, so he helped you pay off your debt of $45,000. My father never pressured you to pay him

"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.

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."

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.
