The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 214 The Night Before 2
Victor looked around at the Regal Rock estate from the terrace battlements. There were seven towers, two reserved for key individuals the NWO wanted to protect. The guests included the Triumvirate billionaires Claire Holt, Rose and Carol Atelier, and Sebastian Damone, among others.One of Victor's thousand gifts was superhuman vision. He could see far-off things on activation with an eagle's accuracy and an owl's night vision. Scanning the estate, he saw a female standing on the northwest tower's terrace.Optimizing his eyes, Victor realized she was none other than Claire. The beauty was wearing a thin nightgown and was looking straight towards his building. Naturally, she couldn't see that far… But did Claire expect him to notice her?Victor climbed the terrace's edge and kicked off with a gentle takeoff, covering over fifty yards airborne. He landed lightly on the northwest tower, skipping down to the terrace. The man stealthily approached Claire from behind."Ahem."Claire jumped i
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 215 The War Council
Victor walked into the conference room with urgent steps. His War Council had already gathered and was waiting for him."Where is the attack coming from, Mav?" he asked, briskly joining the group at the head of the conference table. Their faces looked sullen as they had been awakened from their sleep. The council members had expected no attacks before dawn."The enemy is approaching from the ocean, sir," Maverick said, his eyes on the laptop screen. "Your instincts were right about keeping an eye on the coast."Victor nodded. "How large is their fleet? And what class of ships do they have?""Their choice of naval ships is curious, sir. I had expected Monolith to bring destroyers, but they've brought thirty Littoral Combat Frigates (LCFs) instead.""Hmm. It naturally means the enemy wants to bring the ships up close to the shore.""What would that achieve?" Michael asked. "Our anti-aircraft guns are equipped to handle ships as well. They will riddle holes in their frigates."Victor sho
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 216 Advanced Technology
“Mayday! Mayday!” Panicked voices echoed over multiple radio channels. The distress signals came both from the Burke-class destroyers and Lance Baker’s fleet.Victor stared at the LED screen in the conference room with displeasure. Three of Lance’s Destroyer ships blipped out from the radar map. One of NWO’s Burke-class Destroyer also disappeared. The enemy’s explosive barrage had sunk them.“How are they doing this, Mav?” Victor asked with a clenched jaw. “How can mere littoral combat frigates (LCFs) defeat destroyer warships?”“I have no idea, sir!” Maverick replied, scratching his head. The destroyers were firing at will but couldn’t land a scratch on the enemy vessels. On the other hand, the LCF attacks were decimating their navy.An hour had passed since the battle for Springfield coast began. In the beginning, it seemed the NWO fleet had an advantage. They had technologically superior ships with battle-seasoned crews. With their powerful anti-ship weapons, they were supposed to

“I know!” Val replied with a huff. “But the littoral frigates are firing AM rays at us. We have taken cover in the polycarbonate bunkers, the only things that can repel Disintegra attacks.”Maverick slumped in his seat. “I see. So, the enemy’s landfall is inevitable. Our only chance will arrive when their soldiers engage with you. The LCFs won’t be able to fire AM rays, or they would risk killing their own people.”“I am counting on that, Mav!”Soon enough, fifty Monolith motorboats landed on the shore, and armored soldiers clambered onto the sand like ants. However, they carried only two men per boat, bringing their total number to a hundred. The AM ray attacks stopped abruptly.“Are they crazy or foolish?” Val asked aloud. “We have at least eight hundred boots on the shore. The terrorists sent only about a hundred! Now that the Disintegra attacks are paused, we will decimate them!”Valeria ordered her team to roll out the howitzers, which began pelting cannons at the enemy.Boom! Bo
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 218 Action Movie
Carol and Claire ran into each other in the common recreation room. They had been wandering Regal Rock like tourists. Claire, who was filthy rich, was awestruck by the villa. It was way more luxurious and dreamy than she imagined. Carol thought she had arrived at paradise.The two girls stared at each other speechlessly for a few moments.“I’m so glad you’re safe,” Claire said with a warm smile. However, a shade of guilt was written across her face. How could she maintain a poker face in the first place? She kissed Victor last night and almost had sex with him.Carol noticed the awkwardness but dismissed it from her mind. Her own head was filled with depressing thoughts.“Thanks,” she replied politely. “I had lost hope, but Victor rescued me. As usual. But this time, I discovered his real identity.”“So… You know?”Carol smirked bitterly. “Know what? Victor is Caesar? That he is the Chairman of Springfield Rapids Project? That he leads a mysterious superhero life, saving the world? Or
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 219 Human Shredder
Haley and Julia had been admitted to an outer hospital after being rescued from Krull Island. However, as soon as they were discharged, they rushed to Springfield.“Where’s Victor?” Haley asked in an urgent tone.“Miss Haley…” Maverick mumbled. He was a big fan, and her sudden appearance seemed to have shaken his composure.“Mav, stop staring and answer her question,” Claire urged.“Uh… Well… He is on his way to the battlefield.”“What?” Haley exclaimed. “Even though Monolith has acquired Thanatos? Why did you let him go?”“I am Caesar’s underling, Miss Haley. I don’t tell him what to do. Besides, the enemy had an ace up their sleeve. Their super soldiers decimated the NWO team. If Caesar doesn’t step in at this juncture, we will lose the coast.”Haley and Julia frowned and settled into chairs. They exchanged curt greetings with the other girls.“What are these super soldiers?” Julia asked curiously.Maverick shrugged. “I have no idea. Just like their AM ray guns, they achieved anothe
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 220 Starfall
Victor checked his phone, and a set of coordinates appeared on the map as a red bookmark. He narrowed his eyes and determined the position in his field of vision.Tap! He traversed over a hundred feet with a horizontal leap and landed in the hot sand."What is he doing?" Claire asked Maverick. Victor had just contacted Drew Archibald to bring him a weapon called Starfall. What was he up to?"Oh, he's just positioning himself at the drop site," the five-star general replied with a smirk. "You guys are up for a treat today! Expect fireworks!"The girls exchanged glances of intrigue. By fireworks, did Maverick mean literal firepower? The young man was being vague unnecessarily."What is Starfall?" Julia posed, curious about the term. "Is it a missile attack?""Starfall is one of Victor's Trinity Weapons," Haley replied, opening a beer can. She was the only other person in the room who knew the man's history."The Trinity Weapons are so dangerous that they are normally hidden far away. Th
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 221 Short Battle
"Awesome!" Julia exclaimed."That is unbelievable!" Claire said aloud.Carol covered her mouth in shock while Haley smiled to herself. Such raw power that could blow up massive enemy units was unprecedented. Victor could destroy an entire fleet like playing a video game!And he actually did the very same. Victor launched consecutive attacks in different directions, blowing up the LCFs in line. Explosions rocked the water's surface, causing whirlpools and spouts to erupt all over. It was as if the ocean was being churned by a monster."The enemy has given up!" Maverick declared over the radio. "The ships are retreating into deep waters!" "Not so fast," Victor said, smiling fiendishly. After all the massacre Monolith caused, he was not prepared to let them go.Starfall roared again and again. Its power beams were straight, accurate, and devastating. They landed on all thirty LCFs, no matter how far they escaped into the ocean.When the last ship fizzled out and sank, Starfall powered d
