2023-03-13 01:01:32Bruce was silent for a while. He disliked Harry for a long time. However, he didn't think it was appropriate for him to interfere in other people's family affairs because he was just an outsider. It was rude of him to interfere.
"Aunty Yael has lived alone for a long time. It's only natural that she would want a mate. But..." Bruce stopped his words, feeling inappropriate to express his thoughts.
Since Bruce had moved out, he felt no need to mention the past events between him and Yael.
"Do you think I'm bad?" asked Yolanda.
The sudden question took him by surprise. While staring in surprise, Bruce wondered if this was still the same grumpy girl who had lived under the same roof with him for three years.
Bruce's silence made Yolanda bow her head in regret for her question. The girl snorted, scoffing at herself as she stood up and straightened her wrinkled shirt. "I know my temperament is difficult to deal with, and I can sometimes be fickle. Oh! Ne

"Bruce."Bruce, almost asleep, was awakened by a voice calling his name. He opened his eyes and saw 4 to 5 people standing before him. Some of his teachers were also there.As expected, Bradford was at the centre of those people.System: "Mission: Bradford is a hypocritical criminal. His presence is dangerous. You must find evidence of his guilt and expel him within one month. Reward: Ten Expertise Points. No penalty if the mission fails.""Proof of guilt? The system never makes things up. It looks like Bradford is indeed hiding a dirty secret. No wonder I never liked him!" thought Bruce.However, he grinned and asked, "Why did you come to me?"Bruce hated Bradford. Although Bruce had never offended him, Bradford had sided with Mateo and targeted Bruce for no reason.The system had given that mission to Bruce, so there was no reason for him to be nice to Bradford anymore. Bradford was surprised by Bruce's authoritative tone.He

"Miss Christine, we have a big problem. Please come with me now!" a teacher pleaded with Zara. Zara quietly opened her mobile phone behind a student line when the teacher approached her."So? What business is it of mine?" Zara commented exasperatedly."You think only you can get angry? I can, too," she thought."Miss Christine, please! There's a big problem. An expert came here and asked to see Bruce. Hurry up and find him!" the teacher shouted, breathless.Zara rolled her eyes as she said, "No. If they want to meet Bruce, let them find him themselves.""An expert is coming here? Then let Mr Sebastian bring Bruce."The teacher smiled bitterly and looked at Zara while pointing towards the stage. "This time, the expert who came is exceptional. He is Mr Hammer from Jericho University. ""Who cares if..." Zara responded, but her expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, "Wait a minute! You mean the mathematician from Jericho Univers

The teachers were stunned to hear that Bruce would likely receive severe disciplinary action.To them, Bruce is an academically bright student. He got first place in the semester exams held some time ago. They thought that it was inappropriate to punish a student like him. Everyone turned their attention to Bradford.Bradford gulped as he gathered his courage and said, "Although Bruce is a student with good grades, he was involved in a fight between students last week. What's more, it happened outside the school building. The other student was just discharged from the hospital. Judging from that incident, I think Bruce needs a harsh punishment."Hearing Bradford's explanation, everyone became sceptical."Bruce, what happened?" asked Jack while looking at Bruce.Bruce shrugged and replied calmly, "If I'm going to be judged as a criminal, then it's true that I beat someone up."The teachers' faces changed after they heard his answer.Br

Thiago walked towards them with a big smile. He stood in front of Jack and shook his hand. "Mr Hammer, why didn't you tell me you were coming today? You even rejected my offer to hold a seminar at our school."Jack instantly sensed the sneer in Thiago's tone. Therefore, he looked at Thiago and said, "All right. If you let Bruce move into my school, I'll organise some seminars."Thiago needed clarification. Shaking his head, he replied, "Each choice is completely unrelated.""How can it not be related? He is a good lad who was not accepted into this school. Therefore, let him transfer to our place instead." Jack pushed Thiago's hand away and started to wrap his arms around Bruce's body."We want him to transfer to Cabin Wood Highschool.""He should transfer to the Police School."Bruce giggled bitterly, not knowing how to behave. Back then, he felt like a best-selling item that everyone wanted.Thiago understood the hidden meaning in J

System: "Time is up. You have completed the mission and earned 3 Expertise Points."Bruce paused when he heard that the time to complete his mission had expired. His legs were already numb."A-all, that's the lesson for today. Shall we take a break first?" Bruce glanced at the teachers."But we still have so many questions to answer." Some teachers seemed less than satisfied.They were all impressed with Bruce's lectures. They also felt they needed better knowledge than Bruce, even though they were teachers.As the lectures got more exciting, Bruce stopped. It was as cruel as letting guests smell the food without letting them taste it."Teachers, I shouldn't let you linger here for too long. How about we move to a bigger classroom and ask Mr Wilhelm to prepare a snack?" Bruce then stood up."Of course. Bruce is right. Since it is rare to gather everyone in Carthage, we should be good hosts and welcome you all warmly. Then, let's have a discussion over a snack." Thiago smiled at the su

Time seemed to slow down, and the sun was almost setting. The food Thiago had provided had yet to be savoured and had gone cold. Everyone was so focused that they didn't have time to savour the food.Meanwhile, Zara looked tired as she was busy helping Bruce. She was so tired that it convinced her that Bruce was intentionally torturing her."Miss Christine, can you take the blackboard down?""Miss Christine, please move the board a little.""Miss Christine, please clean the board."Zara felt annoyed every time Bruce called her name. She wanted to throw the blackboard eraser. However, Zara maintained her demeanour as the teachers took Bruce's class seriously.Bruce noticed Zara's anger from the side and found her behaviour interesting. He then teased Zara with a wink. Zara snorted, ignoring Bruce and paying attention to the problems on the board.As Zara wrote down the problems, she mused, "I have to admit that Bruce's explanation was

With trembling hands, Jack stood up slowly. His gaze lit up as if he saw something unbelievable."Mr Hammer?""Mr Hammer?"At that moment, everyone was surprised by Jack's demeanour. Although they were all his students, they had never seen him like this."Finally! Yes, that's it! It's finally solved!" Jack slowly walked towards the podium. His wrinkled hand was about to touch the blackboard. However, he hesitated for fear of erasing the numbers on it.LUP-DUP!Suddenly, Jack fell. His gaze blankly looked up as foam came out of his mouth. In addition, his chest and body were also shaking uncontrollably."Mr Hammer!""Mr Hammer!"Everyone came forward and surrounded him as soon as they saw Jack fall."This is bad! The symptoms are similar to someone going into shock.""Mr Hammer is suffering from heart disease. Go get Mr Hammer's medicine," Zara shouted anxiously.A middle-aged man ran into the crowd c

"What are you guys doing? Someone, hurry up and help Mr Waylen," a teacher shouted."That's right. Quick, get me a bandage."Eventually, everyone started to get busy with Bruce's injuries. Unfortunately, since they were just ordinary teachers, none knew how to treat Bruce's injuries."Everyone, stop! Mr Wilhelm, can you get me some bandages and medical alcohol from the infirmary?" asked Bruce, smiling while holding his injured palm."Of course." Thiago headed straight for the medical room."Zara, why were you so rude earlier?""Yes, look what you did to Bruce.""Isn't Bruce your student? Why are you hurting him? Look at his blood. Ah, I feel dizzy..."Everyone started blaming Zara for her actions.Zara looked at Bruce guiltily. Although she wanted to say something, Zara didn't know how. She just lowered her head and stared at the floor limply."All right. Don't blame Miss Christine anymore. I'm sure she didn't do

"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."

Chapter 493: Delayed Death
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
