…

The moment the bullet left its chamber, the world became still.

Baller, who woke up and chased after them, fainted once again.

Trumpeter, who secretly watched the events, fell to the ground with putrid liquid on her pants.

Vince shook his head helplessly and vomited blood once more.

It was Randolph who took the full grunt of the bullet’s power because he kept shielding Sheila! His hair turned white and his lifespan was reduced! He should have had two more chances but now, he knew he now lost one! He couldn’t even maintain his transformation!

Sheila felt Death with her entire being. The bullet went through her shield and to her hair with a swoosh. The bullet missed but Sheila still fell on the ground. Her eyes stared wide-eyed at the piercing gaze similar to the Crime Lords!

In fact, they all thought they were facing a Crime Lord!

The phantom soon dissipated as if they just imagined the whole ordeal.

“Want some more?” The man approached them with a thin smile. They backed up and were on the verge of escaping.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Truth be told, Adrian felt weak. His legs screamed at him that it was painful. But he knew that he had to do it.

“I just need your concession.” Adrian brought out a syringe and punctured the half-dead Randolph. The green color on his face receded. “This is the antidote.”

“What do you want?!” Sheila gritted her teeth to show some might but her trembling voice betrayed her.

“You can say… an encounter with the hidden fellow.” Their face changed but Adrian sneered.

“Is your life important? Or your secret is more important? I think you have gained enough. Maybe you are thinking you are saving humanity but at what cost?”

“Killing humans? Is that your humanity?” Adrian clicked his tongue.

“What do you know?! You are just an orphan! But we are different from you! Friends, families, loved ones – they all died! We wanted revenge! Regardless of the cost!” Trumpeter dragged herself and Baller to the venue. Red face, she was in a state of agitation. Surprisingly, she was the first one to forget her fear. In Adrian’s view, she had a deep story.

“Orphan? Yes, but I got family later on. We are just not registered.” The man scratched his head and shouted at the heavens. “Damn, Mom! That’s why I said you should register us already! See! The earth is going to end and people thought I don’t have a family!”

The team had already forgotten their fear of him. They argued against him but from an outside perspective, they looked bickering. All because Adrian was too shameless.

“Aiyah! You are hurt! But you hurt people too!”

“Your trumpet is dead! Let’s pray our respect to the deceased!”

“Hey, your body is muscular! Where is your gym?”

“Throw that sword away! Don’t point it at me! Help! He’s killing people!” Vince’s body shook in anger but he could only throw his sword at his foot.

“There we go. Where are we again? Right! Let me meet that fellow.” Adrian smiled. But from others’ eyes, he looked like a grinning demon.
