Kenneth didn’t blink an eye, as if he had eyes in the back of his head. He spun around and fired a shot. In an instant, he took down the man aiming at him with precision.
The guild members saw Kenneth’s skills for the first time today, and they were far superior to theirs.
A loud explosion occurred, mud flew everywhere amidst the chaos of battle.
Kenneth’s glasses were smeared with grime, hindering his vision slightly, yet he stayed calm and collected, as if everything was still within his grasp.
Even with mud stains on his white shirt, his commanding presence was unmistakable. He wore a black bulletproof vest over his lean and sturdy frame.
At this moment, he walked forward, rifle in hand, seeming to ignore everyone in front of him, like a reaper from hell with bloodlust burning in his eyes.
Melanie and Ghost drove around to flank the enemy, opened the sunroof, mounted heavy weapons on top, and launched a relentless barrage from both sides.
Another explosion sounded as Barrett suddenly dived, losing his grip on his gun. As he reached for it, bullets zipped past from the front. Each shot stirred up clouds of dust in the yellow dirt.
Barrett pulled back his hand, leaning against the tree trunk as a bullet skimmed his shoulder. He gritted his teeth, pulled out. the gun from his waist, turned, and fired a shot.
Eric’s gun quickly ran out of bullets, and as he was changing the clip, the enemy threw a grenade at him. “Ray!”
Ray was holding a heavy machine gun when he turned around. But before he could react, Eric tackled him to the ground.
The grenade exploded behind them, sending dirt flying and covering Eric. There was no time to react as a machine gun started shooting at them from a distance. The two quickly dodged on the ground, got up, and fired back. Kenneth was hiding behind a wide tree, reloading his gun. As soon as he showed even a bit of himself, the enemy began to spray bullets. He was targeted by two groups, giving him no chance to counterattack. This delay allowed Fabio and his group to escape deeper into the dense forest.
Above them, a rumbling sound echoed in the sky. They looked up with grave expressions, as the plane’s direction seemed to be heading to meet Fabio and his cargo, rather than coming to support them. After flying over their heads, it drove off in the direction Fabio had escaped. The police quickly jumped into their vehicles to chase after.
Just then, a black SUV skidded to a stop next to the tree where Kenneth was hiding. Ophelia leaped out of the vehicle, using it as a shield, and turned to fire a shot across the way. The sound of machine gun fire suddenly stopped. She moved around to the other side of the vehicle. Another shot, and she took down someone on the other side.
Kenneth squinted at Ophelia, his bloodthirsty gaze becoming even more sinister. “Ophelia,” He gritted his teeth and slowly spat out her name, each syllable filled with fury.
“All guild members have partners, and you should too. I’m your partner, so you’ll protect me, right?”
Kenneth was momentarily taken aback, exhaling heavily. He should’ve known Ophelia wouldn’t play it safe.
Right behind Ophelia were DarkHawk and the others, quickly moving to help Barrett and the rest of the team. Seeing this,

Ophelia looked up at the helicopter slowly coming down.
“Get in the car first. That helicopter’s probably here for backup. We can’t let them get away,” With that, Ophelia turned to Ray and Eric “You two, get in the car!” With cover from DarkHawk and the others, Ray and Eric moved toward the car. They needed to chase them and couldn’t waste any more time here.
The two of them got in the car, and as Ophelia opened the driver’s door, Kenneth stopped her. “What’s wrong?”
Kenneth didn’t say anything, looking upset. He took off his bulle proof vest and put it on Ophelia without a word.
Just beyond the dense forest was a wide river, making it easy to escape.
Carl was the first to give chase and had just surrounded Fabio’s car when the helicopter flew over, its machine guns firing wildly.
Clouds of yellow sand rose around them as a boat appeared on the river, and from it emerged a group of mercenaries who quickly surrounded Carl and his team.
Soon, Carl and a few officers were badly injured, held at gunpoint by the mercenaries. The cruelty of drug traffickers towards narcotics officers was something most people could hardly imagine.
If they fell into their hands, the final outcome was certain death, but they wouldn’t make it an easy one.
The bald man from earlier pointed a gun at Carl’s head. Fabio stepped out of the armored vehicle. Despite the chaos and gunfire around, his white robe remained pristine.
He was surrounded by his own men, and with most of the officers dealt with, he was sure he would escape, so he wasn’t afraid to say a few more words.
“I didn’t expect you to pass my tests three times, my friend,” Fabio adjusted his round glasses, showing some admiration for the Helorian narcotics officers. Getting through all those layers of testing to finally reach him was no easy task. Carl’s face was full of blood, and when he smiled, his teeth were covered too. He had to use his own life to hold them back, buying time for backup to arrive.
Fabio gestured for the bald man to lower his gun. “I admire you, but you know, I hate being lied to, yet you tricked me three times,” Fabio looked at the SWAT officers behind Carl.
“Here’s the deal. You lied to me three times, so I’ll take three lives. Pick three people from behind you and kill them yourself, or I’ll do it for you.”
Carl quickly turned to look at his wounded comrades.
“Pick me, Carl.”
Carl looked at each of them. They were all his comrades, some were even married with kids. There were also two young officers, both so inexperienced, neither could be killed.
He shook his head frantically, his eyes bloodshot, and streaks of blood ran from his forehead into his eyes.
“I’ll count to three, and if you don’t choose, I’ll pull the trigger. One, two-“
“Kill me, just kill me!” Carl shouted.
“Well,” Fabio chuckled darkly. “There are worse punishments than death in this world. Three,” As Fabio’s words fell, a

mercenary behind the officer cocked his gun.
A gunshot rang out. But it was the mercenary with the gun who fell to the ground.
BOX
Kenneth took out the heavy machine gun operator on the helicopter, sending a body plummeting from above.
Fabio didn’t know Carl had more backup. His expression turned grim.
“Mr. Sanchez, get to the boat!” A nearby mercenary said, raising his gun ready for battle to shield Fabio as they transported the goods and the hidden money. At the same time, they lifted the injured officers as human shields. This way, Kenneth wouldn’t dare to fire.
