Bang! Barrett Walker finally couldn't help but pull the trigger, but he missed Ray-Oran for the first time, and there was a moment of bewilderment in his whole person.

"Haha! Sniper God, you lost." It turned out that Ray-Oran's sword did not actually slash, which was able to deceive Barrett Walker. He was also gambling, and obviously this win or lose had nothing to do with strength or weakness.

"Can you gamble on the battlefield?"

Ray-Oran incredulously covered his chest, wanting to stop the flowing blood, but he found that the blood flowing out was unstoppable. His eyes dimmed as he fell to the ground. He knew that this day would come eventually, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

The leader is dead, and the collapse of the hunters seems to be a matter of course, just like in the movies. The police are always late, and the hunters escape. The seriousness of this incident is something these police officers probably dare not bear. Soon, police cars, military vehicles, and ambulances surrounded this semi-independent Nan Zhu Mountain. Reporters swarmed at the foot of the mountain, aiming their cameras at every possible passage.

"What are you doing? This matter can't be suppressed by you or even me. Wait to be investigated!" Wint Roland got out of the car and looked at the almost empty terrain of Nan Zhu Mountain. This rare director's outburst in front of everyone set the police officers at a loss for words.

Tiger came in a tired and dusty state, watching Wint Roland erupting in anger. He hurriedly pulled him away and whispered something in his ear. Both of their faces turned extremely bleak. Wint Roland asked for confirmation, and Tiger nodded. Wint Roland paced back and forth with a heavy heart. Finally, he sighed in resignation, making the tense police officers around him tremble, feeling a sense of terror for some reason.

When Barrett Walker crawled out of the ruins, every part of his body was intact. When Monica saw him, she ran up to him and hugged him tightly, disregarding the strange looks from others. In that moment, the two of them pressed against each other. Barrett Walker thought of the scene when Monica jumped off the elevator, and his heart trembled. In the end, he hugged Monica back, resigning to fate.

Claudia White watched the scene in the center of the field and became strange. Such a grand occasion couldn't be without her. Taking advantage of Wint Roland's inattention, she sneaked in. Now she felt conflicted. In the end, she forcefully intervened, attempting to separate the two and grab Barrett Walker.

Barrett Walker didn't expect this woman to be so persistent. He shook his hand forcefully, managing to break free from Claudia White's grip. This almost caused all the surrounding police officers, who were already on edge, to aim their guns at Barrett Walker and Monica. "Hands behind your head, get down!"

"Get down quickly! Hands behind your head!"

All the police officers around were a bit nervous, and some reporters pointed their cameras from a distance. The atmosphere was as heavy as a powder keg, just one spark away from exploding out of control.

Barrett Walker tightly held Monica's hand and looked around. Regardless of their power or abilities, as long as they lost control even a little, the bullets from all sides would definitely turn them into Swiss cheese. At that moment, everything else was of no importance. "Let's do as they say."

"What are you doing? Put the guns down quickly. If the reporters report tomorrow that we let the culprit go and acted arrogantly towards the people, where would we, the heroes of the city, put our faces? Who do they think we are, ancient warlords, taking credit for others' achievements?" Monica's face was covered in dust, but she stood next to Barrett Walker, looking noble like a queen. She would not suffer any loss. She looked at the police officers aiming their guns at them and realized that they had caused a big disaster this time. She couldn't imagine how the entire federation would be in a state of turmoil.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Wint Roland's anger almost exploded. Listening to Monica's reprimand, the police officers reluctantly put down their guns and retreated to the side, their faces dark and the atmosphere even more eerie.

Monica pulled Barrett Walker and walked out, saying, "Wint Roland! I'll cooperate with you, but you can't treat me like this. This matter is far from over!"

"Oh! It's all about love and friendship. When are you going back?" Barron and Danny squeezed in, and Barron punched Barrett Walker's chest as if angry, pretending to be upset.

"Hehe! I'll call you later!" Barrett Walker looked at the two people who had come over, intending to let go of Monica's hand, but she held on tightly. He didn't want to leave like this, so he made a gesture to contact them later and left with Monica.

"Don't be sad, don't you still have me?" Danny said with a hint of a sob, patting Barron's shoulder to comfort him.

"Get lost! Don't stand with me, or those beautiful women will misunderstand that I'm with you. It would be a disaster. I, the pillar of the generation, have charmed countless women. Do I care about this?" Barron tossed his golden hair, sending a cloud of dust floating down, and the two of them laughed.

"Monica! You better not spread this matter further, otherwise the federation will be in a state of turmoil because of your recklessness!" Wint Roland called Monica's small house in Hero City. It wasn't far from Jazz High School and just across from Twenty-One Public High School.

"Does the federation have any shortage of turmoil and bloodshed every day?" Monica retorted, looking at Barrett Walker, who was rubbing his body with medicinal alcohol and sitting on the sofa. She gestured that he was fine, then took the phone and quietly went to the study, closing the door.

Claudia White stood next to Wint Roland, looking like a wronged little wife, constantly tugging at her clothes, which had been neatly ironed but were now wrinkled. She stared at her toes for a long time, eavesdropping on Wint Roland's conversation with Monica. Suddenly, she looked up, snatched the phone from Wint Roland's hand, and shouted into the receiver, "You are the suspect, and I trusted you, thinking you were kidnapped by him and taken to Hero City, but you joined forces with him to deceive. This is not only illegal, but also a crime..."

The sudden roar in her ear made Monica momentarily stunned. After recovering, she quickly moved the handset aside, listening to Claudia White's long and angry rant, looking slightly bewildered. Suddenly, she felt a tightness in her abdomen. Barrett Walker had already entered the study and hugged her, resting his head on her shoulder. She took the phone and waited for the voice on the other end to quiet down, then said, "Let's calm down. I haven't committed any crime. I hope you don't deliberately target me in the future."

Barrett Walker hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and hugged Monica tightly, pressing his face into her hair, inhaling its fragrant scent. He said, "Why isn't it as strong as it used to be?"

"Oh! You're so dirty! Go take a shower!" Monica blushed when she heard Barrett Walker's words. Her skin was as clear as porcelain, and after a bath, it would be rosy and fresh, with a delicate and fragrant breath. She couldn't bear the heat emanating from Barrett Walker's body and the smell of sweat. She turned around, pushing him away.

"This is your body fragrance!" Barrett Walker looked straight at Monica, unable to take his eyes off her.

"Go take a shower!" Monica couldn't stand Barrett Walker's wolf-like gaze, quickly pushing him out the door.

The phone suddenly rang again, and both of them were startled. Was there something else going on? Monica picked up the handset, and it was the same number as before. She frowned slightly and glanced at Barrett Walker, who shrugged helplessly.

"Monica! Are you listening? Was that person with you just now?" This time, it was Claudia White's voice.

"What's the matter? Hurry up and tell me!" Monica looked at Barrett Walker and was wondering what was happening. She didn't go to take a shower and hurriedly approached and grabbed her arm, asking, "What's wrong! Is something big happening? Don't just stand there, tell me!"

"Do you know why I wanted to arrest him? It's because of the Mark Smith incident. At Jazz High School, he harassed the famous star Julia Menard. You must not believe his sweet words." Claudia White lowered her voice.

Monica didn't know how she ended the call, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. She was dazed, not knowing anything. Barrett Walker looked at Monica, not knowing what had happened, and didn't go to take a shower. He quickly approached and grabbed her arm, asking, "What's wrong! Is something big happening? Don't just stand there, tell me!".
