2023-09-12 13:01:45"Why do I feel so familiar with Joslyn?" Bruce muttered to himself.
But Donna heard Bruce's mumbling. Then, Donna rolled her eyes at Bruce and said, "You just said that you're not interested in Joslyn, and now you're saying she looks familiar. Maybe you've seen her on TV before?"
Bruce shook his head and thought, "I think I've seen it somewhere in person, but I can't remember."
Bruce had a strong feeling that he was right. Bruce must have met Joslyn somewhere before.
Then, the host came on stage. "The weather is fine today. Surely everyone is destined to gather here at Lake Arka to watch the Musical Instrument Competition together."
But the audience was impatient.
Some young people held up signs in their hands and shouted, "Joslyn! We want to see Joslyn!"
"Bring Joslyn out!"
"I love you, Joslyn!"
The audience started making noise, and the show went out of control for a while. The host started sweating and had to skip his

With that, Donna began her performance. Donna played very carefully, but Bruce could hear some flaws in her performance."This song was very difficult for Donna, and so difficult because she was on the violin," Alison says regretfully.Meanwhile, the judges were writing something on their signs. After Donna finished her performance, the judges held up their signs."6,5""6,9""6,2"Finally, Joslyn held up her board that read "7.9". Joslyn gave the highest score among all the judges."Miss Conley, your score is rather high. An old lady next to Joslyn said, This contestant's performance is mediocre and has many flaws!"But Joslyn smiled and said, "Well, I think this contestant has tried her best. It's hard for that girl to perform this song on a violin. This girl was just unlucky."Since the celebrity said it, the other judges remained silent.In the end, Donna's total score was thirty-two point eight points. Donna

After gaining superhuman abilities, Bruce felt no pressure. But at that moment, he realised that Donna was missing."Alison, where's Donna?" Bruce asked.Alison looked around, just to make sure that Donna had disappeared."Oh? Donna was still here originally. Where did that girl go?"Hearing that, Bruce quietly chastised Donna as a "silly girl". Bruce knew where Donna was going."Ah, I remember. Donna said she wanted to go to the washroom. I'll go look for her now." Then, Bruce turned around and walked towards the washroom not far from the backstage.There was a large forest behind the stage. After looking around, Bruce saw Donna bowing her head outside the washroom. And Brian looked at Donna with a cigarette in his mouth."Hey, what's going to happen? The competition is about to start. Stop trying to buy time." Brian threw away his cigarette butt and turned to leave, "I don't want to force you either. I can leave now if you don't wan

Soon, the third round began. This time, the contestants performed in order from the highest total score to the lowest total score.Those who performed well in the previous two rounds proved they have solid skills. Although the songs they played in the third round were not as good as the famous songs, they were still good. One by one, the contestants performed their songs."Brian, what's going on? It's almost your turn. Why are you here now?" Frowning, Noora looked at Brian, who seemed to have just washed his hair.Somehow, Noora smelled a strange odour on Brian.Noora waved her hand over her nose and asked, "What is that smell from you?"Hearing that, Brian felt bitter. How could that man tell Noora he had just come out of the toilet hole?Brian couldn't say that to Noora. Brian could only pretend that he didn't smell anything. At that point, it was his turn to perform.Then Brian gulped and walked on stage towards the piano."

There was a tense discussion offstage. As Donna clutched her chest, she couldn't help the wave of emotions she felt in her heart. Until now, Donna didn't know how to react."Contestant number eleven, that is a beautiful song. Can you tell me the title of that song?" Joslyn smiled and looked at Donna."The Blue Sea," Donna replied in a soft voice."Blue Sea?""So that song was called "Blue Sea!"""Wow, I saw a picture of the sea in my mind."The audience discussed the song, and many people were still lost in the melody. Some even asked Donna to perform again. The atmosphere was just as heated as when Joslyn came on stage earlier.Then, the host hurriedly took to the stage to control the crowd. "Alright. Contestant number eleven has finished performing. Now, it's time for the judges to judge his performance."As soon as the host finished speaking, Joslyn held up her board. Looking at the score on the board, Donna covered her mout

The remaining contestants finished their performances. Then, the organisers announced the champion of the competition. It was none other than Donna.After the awards ceremony, it was time for the closing ceremony. And Joslyn would sing a song for everyone.Once again, things got heated. As Donna walked off the stage with the trophy, Zara and the others gathered around her to congratulate her."Donna, congratulations on getting first place." Zara was proud of her students.On the other hand, Yolanda admired Donna and said, "Donna, you did a great performance earlier! You were even better than Bruce!"Upon hearing that, Bruce smiled without saying a word."Donna, I saw Joslyn say something to you when she gave you the trophy. What did she say?" Yolanda asked curiously.Other people also cast curious glances in Donna's direction. Feeling a little embarrassed, Donna said, "Joslyn doesn't talk much.""The lady just told me that I did well. And Joslyn hasn't found the theme song for her upc

"Users to confirm and accept tasks.""Mission: Rescue Joslyn Conley. Reward: 50 Expertise Points. Punishment: Deduct 50 Expertise Points."Bruce stood at the centre of the stage with a glum face. As the smoke spread, Bruce could see five or six thugs lying on the stage.Joslyn was nowhere to be seen. Bruce examined the bodies and found only a sharp cut on the neck. There were no traces of a fight.In other words, they were killed with a knife. Bruce felt that he might have been given a real mission this time.The reward is 50 Expertise Points. The system would not award so many Expertise Points without a good reason. This meant that the kidnapper who took Joslyn away must be very powerful."There's something more than just a kiss between us. I can't just watch that girl die." Bruce took out his mobile phone and operated his laptop remotely inside the hotel.Bruce used it to attack Skynet. In an instant, several videos were sent

"Their men took away Miss Joslyn." Granny Perrish looked at Bruce for a while and spoke.The woman said pleadingly, "Mr. Waylen, Miss Joslyn was taken like that by their people. Please help me to save her. There will be a large reward from the Conley family!"Bruce followed the directions indicated by Grandma Perrish. It was a country road, and the end of the road led to the mountain. That Bruce didn't know where it led."But what about..." Bruce looked around at the people around him and said, "Leave them to me. Just go and save Miss Joslyn!" Granny Perrish shouted."Old witch, with imminent death, yet you still want others to save people for you?" The man in the black mask added with a knife in his hand,"Don't worry. We will take good care of that woman.""I wonder if his mouth is useful other than singing." Granny Perrish stared at the man angrily and moved her feet. The woman smashed the stick in her hand towards the man with the black mask: "Bastard, I'll tear your mouth out!"

Bruce turned around and saw the dagger right in front of him. His eyes fell on the man in the white mask who appeared behind him out of nowhere."This guy is fast. If I didn't have someone place a tracker on this woman, I probably wouldn't have caught up with her," said the man in the white mask while taking out his carved knife.The man looked at Bruce with a smirk. "Heh, what are you going to do now?"Bruce gritted his teeth, turned his head, and glanced at Joslyn with his eyes emitting a strange light.Joslyn covered her body. The girl's entire body was wet, causing her clothes to become semi-transparent. Joslyn was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Bruce.Just as Joslyn was about to get angry, Bruce reached out to take the pendant from Joslyn's chest and threw it to the ground.The outside of the pendant cracked, revealing a flickering red light inside. It was the tracker!Bruce turned his head and looked at the man in the

"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

[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."

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
