Bruce saw Freddie and Noah lying on the floor when he ran to the roof. Bruce ran up to them and pinched Noah's neck. Fortunately, Noah had only fainted.
"Captain Guillermo? Where are they?" Bruce looked around warily.
"Hiding. Amanda shot from a distance, and both were injured," Freddie said.
Bruce breathed a sigh of relief as he looked around.
His X-ray vision was still within the limit of five minutes of continuous use, so Bruce could still use that ability.
Bruce quickly found them. They were hiding five metres ahead, behind a bucket on the roof.
"Be careful. Five metres to nine, behind the bucket," Bruce whispered.
Freddie glanced at Bruce in surprise. The man mused, "How does Bruce know where the two hitmen are?"
"It's a pity that the signal here is blocked, and we can't contact Amanda. We're too far away from each other. Not only can they not hear you, but we can also warn the enemy."
Bruce knew he could see throug
"You don't have to pretend you're not worried about this woman. The situation is also clear. If this woman dies, the sniper is in the distance, and you will kill us quickly.""We are assassins, but we are not criminals."Flora Silver walked out and looked at Sarah, who was pointing a gun at her. "But since we're going to talk, let's talk quietly. Please put the Pistol in your hand." Sarah frowned."Put it down." Bruce signalled Sarah to put the gun down.Sarah put down her gun, but her eyes were still on Flying Spike, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If you dare touch her, I will kill you.""Oh, you're quite excited." Silver Flora chuckled."Stop babbling. Let us go, and we'll give this woman back to you," Liam said impatiently.Liam's stomach was covered in blood, and if they continued to delay, no matter how well his body condition was, he would die from massive blood loss."About that, I'll repeat what I just said. How c
"Bruce!"Sarah was shocked to see blood flowing from Bruce's eyes, nose and mouth.Bruce appeared to be bleeding almost all over his face.Bruce knelt on the ground as he stared forward, his eyes staring at the bloody hole in his head.The Flying Spikes' eyes lost focus momentarily, and he did not know how the last bullet deflected before the man died. The Flying Spikes slowly fell backwards.Similarly, Claudia backed away, trying to pull Flying Spikes' arm around her neck. But the man's arm wrapped firmly around Claudia's neck."Watch your back!" Freddie shouted from the side.At this moment, the Flying Spikes took a few steps back with Claudia until they reached the roof's edge. The man fell off the roof with Claudia in his arms.Bruce's eyes flashed, and he rushed out regardless of the pain in his head."Claudia!" Sarah ran to the roof's edge and stretched out her hand to grab Claudia, but it was too late, and Claudia
Freddie helped Noah up and was about to go downstairs.On the other side, Sarah received a phone call. When Sarah heard the voice from the other end of the line, she was surprised."Bad news! Bruce says there's a bomb in the hospital. They're in the bathroom on the second floor, the doctor's office on the fourth floor, the intensive care unit on the sixth floor, and the roof. Sarah, come down quickly." On the other end of the line came Claudia's anxious voice.Sarah's expression changed, and she looked directly at Freddie. Sarah's face became serious then, and she quickened her pace."What are you waiting for? Get a move on!"Sarah put down the phone and went up to help Noah to the stairs to the roof.Just as the three walked towards the stairs, an explosion occurred behind them.BOOM!A wave of heat knocked the three of them to the floor. Sarah saw with horror the flames and smoke from the explosion from the rooftop floor behi
"Report, a man and a woman were buried in the rubble. The woman's vital signs are normal and not in danger. The man's abdomen was pierced by a steel bar, and his head was bleeding. The man is now in a coma, and his vital signs are weak."Miley watched as the medics, feeling empty, carried Bruce away from her body."Miss, are you all right? Is something wrong?" A female doctor stepped forward to help her up.The doctor's coat was dusty, so he must have been hospitalised."Me, I'm fine. Where's my dad?" Miley asked."Your father is fine. The nurse has taken care of the man to place him in a safe ward. We were very worried when the ceiling in that area collapsed, and we had just arrived there. But we couldn't do anything and watched as it fell on you. Fortunately, the young man jumped up and protected you. Judging from that young man's situation, he probably was," a nurse replied worriedly to Miley.Miley was startled, and she fell to the floor
"System request: The user failed to pay the debt on time. The system will release Special Missions based on the debt amount. After timely completion, the debt amount will be reset to zero. During the Special Mission, the user cannot redeem any skills, accept other missions, and complete other normal missions.""Special Mission: The user must become one of the top ten assassins on the Apol Mercenary Assassin Ranking within ten days. Punishment for failure: User loses their life."The instructions were simple, but they managed to give Bruce a tremendous amount of pressure. There were still many messages in the system that Bruce didn't read, which he had missed for five days while unconscious."Mission completed: User gained 50 Expertise Points.""System reminder: Currently, the user has 11 arrears remaining."It must be the mission reward for the rescue mission five days ago."System reminder: The interest fee charged is 3.

Bruce's expression changed. Bruce stared at Freddie in silence."You don't have to hide it. Amanda was the last person to shoot the Flying Spikes when we were on the roof that day. Oscar and Amanda had confirmed that the bullet would miss, but the direction of the bullet changed before it hit Claudia."Freddie looked at Bruce. "And you're the one who gave Amanda and Oscar the secret signal."Bruce smiled and sat back on the hospital bed. Bruce knew he couldn't hide that he had special abilities. Bruce was worried about how to explain this problem to the outside world, but now.Freddie gave him the perfect excuse. A superpowered Soldier?It sounded like people with special abilities in novels and films, which Bruce said never existed.Those practising martial arts might have some special ability thinking about it now. Those fictional things may exist in the real world.Nowadays, Bruce has a new curiosity about the world. But now, Bruce
Claudia's face hardened as she looked at the visitors."What are you doing here?"Ollie smiled hypocritically, "Claudia, I'm your uncle. When your father dies, I'll attend his funeral.""How dare you!" Claudia was getting angry, but Bruce stopped her."There's no need to get angry when the dog barks at you. Are you trying to bark it back?" Bruce's tone was flat.Ollie looked at Bruce with fear as he recalled what Bruce had done to him that day."Hmm. We'll see who's the dog tomorrow morning," Ollie sneered and took a stack of documents from his backpack, handing them to Claudia."Claudia, you can't say I don't care about the past. I got word that the SFC will suspend the shares of House of Jasmine tomorrow morning and will undergo bankruptcy proceedings.""This is a contract. Based on my calculations, the market value of the House of Jasmine is only 150 million. I offered to buy it for 15 million dollars, which should be enough
"Registered in New Wuni?"One of the reporters scratched his ears when he heard the news and asked the photographer next to him, "Did I hear wrong? Did they say they will be registered in New Wuni?"The photographer gulped. "Unless we were hallucinating at the same time."After a moment of silence, a discussion broke out at the venue. House of Jasmine will be registered in New Wuni?Sitting in a corner, Ollie was dumbfounded before he came to his senses and laughed, "Looks like your arrogance has no limits, Lad. House of Jasmine's share price is about to hit the lower limit, and you're planning to get listed on New Wuni?""Mr Parsons, that person must be dreaming. Forget about the current conditions; even when the House of Jasmine was in its prime, they never considered enrolling in New Wuni!" joked the manager sitting beside him. That person used to be in charge of the stock market at the House of Jasmine.Being listed on the New Wuni and t
"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." Roy h
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! I will do anyt
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
[Location: at the police station.]"Come on, let's go see Mr Maverick now." Bruce looked at the door of the police station."Come with me."Sarah led Bruce to the police station."Captain Johnson, why are you back?""Sarah, you're home! 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." A police officer stood up.<
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
