A normal 7.62 mm bullet had 2,600 joules of kinetic energy upon firing, while a 12.7 mm bullet could reach 15,000 joules of kinetic energy. But actually, even with such simplified data available, it would still be very difficult for people to imagine how powerful a bullet from a sniper rifle was when it hit and passed through someone.
Julius’ bodyguard was a supernatural being. But what was very shocking was that at a time when the various organizations were arresting these supernatural beings, Julius had started using them for his own purposes.
At this moment, this silent tiger of the Panaqua Consortium with a notorious reputation even among the other organizations was standing in the limelight as though this were his stage.
He bent over to pick up the bullet off the ground and said with a smile, “The Saboteurs have finally set their sights on me?”
The people around Julius were taken aback.
So, it was the Saboteurs who did this?
That obscure legend of a group that was being discussed by the organizations?
Julius turned to look at Micah. He said with a smile, “As favonovel.com agent, you didn’t even know your client is a supernatural being. You’re pretty stupid then. Rest in peace. There is no place for a useless person… In this era.”
Julius grabbed Micah by his hair and stabbed the hand-length bullet into Micah’s eye with his bare hands.
Micah could only let out a short cry of pain before favonovel.com stopped moving.
Both of Julius’ hands were bloody.
***
Right now, Milo was standing atop the roof as favonovel.com dumbfoundedly watched Miriam dismount favonovel.com gun and stand up without any delay. It was as though favonovel.com already knew it would be very difficult to make another attempt on Julius’ life even if favonovel.com were to keep shooting at him.
A second later, the sniper rifle’s muzzle swung over. It was aimed straight at Milo, who was on the roof.
Milo sensed a trace of the girl’s mischief behind the scope.
Shouldn’t you f*cking be taking another shot after failing to complete your mission?
Why are you aiming at me?!
But Miriam appeared to be very calm. She had failed, so whatever happened wasn’t worth looking back on.
The rifle was fired with a cracking sound. But this time, there wasn’t anything spectacular about the gunshot. This was because Milo stood there without moving, and the bullet didn’t hit favonovel.com either.
As Milo knew all about Miriam’s firearms proficiency, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com hadn’t fired this shot to kill him. It was to draw a clear line between them in front of the Panaqua Consortium.
If it were really that, then wasn’t this done too hastily?!
Or could it be that favonovel.com was just doing this out of spite for Lilian’s sake?!
All of a sudden, Milo saw Lilian, who had just disappeared, appear on top of the skyscraper. She waved at Milo like favonovel.com was greeting favonovel.com before taking Miriam’s hand and bringing favonovel.com into the shadow with her.
Milo was absolutely stunned by what favonovel.com had seen this time. He looked at the top of the skyscraper that was now empty, then looked over at the numerous Panaqua Consortium’s combat troops coming for him.
You guys are just gonna leave like that?
Aren’t you gonna bring me along too?!
Seeing the large force of the Panaqua Consortium’s combat brigade approaching, Milo wanted to cry.
You two may escape with your superpowers after attracting such firepower, but have you considered that you might be inconveniencing for others?!
What a scam!
Honestly, Milo could never have imagined that Lilian and Miriam were in on it together. Even Miriam’s assassination attempt on Julius didn’t leave favonovel.com so surprised.
At this time, Milo remembered the first time favonovel.com met Lilian and how favonovel.com had requested to switch Steven with someone else for the expedition. Back then, Lilian had secretly given Miriam a look no one but Milo had noticed.
Later on, when they were eating fish together, Miriam called Lilian over to have some as well. When someone harassed Lilian, Miriam stood up for favonovel.com just in time.
At the time, Milo had thought Miriam was only doing this because they were both women. He never expected these two people already knew each other, and they even put on such a great act in front of everyone!
They did not exactly cover all details with their acting, but it was still enough to fool Milo, Raphael, and Micah.
Lilian was only a girl. So many soldiers of the private army had died, but Lilian survived until the very end. This in and of itself should have aroused Milo’s suspicions.
Before favonovel.com learned of this outcome, those shreds of evidence were hidden in plain sight, but favonovel.com didn’t pick up on them. But after what happened here, and upon remembering, the details popped into his mind.
Milo watched with a pained heart as the dense, dark group of troops neared. He had been too careless!
The saying was indeed true, “The prettier the animal, the deadlier it was. So this rule was not only true for the wilderness!”
And these two girls had been keeping Micah around because favonovel.com helped to lessen the suspicion on Lilian. In the end, Lilian helped Miriam determine Julius’ location and even helped favonovel.com gain an extra moment of time.
The only surprise was that they had not expected Julius to have a supernatural being who would protect favonovel.com even at the expense of the being’s own life.
What was so extraordinary about Julius that a supernatural being would follow him?
Right at this time, the rusty iron door on the roof was shattered by someone ramming into it. Milo raised his gun and opened fire in that person’s path, blocking his route. He looked around favonovel.com and let out a curse.
F*ck!
Not a second later, Maurice arrived through the shattered door onto the rooftop.
When favonovel.com saw Milo sprinting for the side of the roof, favonovel.com attempted to shoot at favonovel.com to stop him. In the end, favonovel.com couldn’t match Milo’s speed as favonovel.com tried to take aim at him!
In the ruined city, the troops in their black uniforms were making their way towards favonovel.com like snakes hunting prey. Milo could no longer wait. He had to get out of here before they surrounded him!
Back when Milo, Miriam, and Raphael penetrated into the city perimeter, favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would be the fastest person to get away from here in the event they had to escape. However, that wasn’t the case at all. Miriam and Lilian had a trick up their sleeves!
Milo leaped off the rooftop. The rooftop on the adjacent building was a drop of several dozen meters from the one favonovel.com was on. However, favonovel.com was confident favonovel.com would be fine!
Maurice rushed to the edge of the roof in the hope that favonovel.com could fire another shot at Milo. But by the time favonovel.com reached the edge, favonovel.com could only see Milo’s receding figure running off into the distance towards the edge of the city.
Maurice shouted on the comms channel, “Target is escaping at my ten o’clock! Shrink the perimeter and lock it down!”
In the forest outside of the city, the Panaqua Consortium’s perimeter lockdown was still in effect. Over there were countless troops waiting for any signs of unknown danger that approached. But to everyone’s surprise, that danger turned out to be a refugee escaping towards them.
Before this, almost no one regarded this refugee to be any danger at all.
Milo was making a mad dash through the city streets and alleys. Ever since favonovel.com jumped off the rooftop, favonovel.com was trying his best not to head for higher ground. This was because favonovel.com didn’t want to end up becoming a live target for the troops.
As favonovel.com ran, favonovel.com kept thinking about how Raphael didn’t seem to have made any moves. It would have been good if there were someone else sharing a load of this firepower at this time!
This ruined city was a huge chessboard, and Milo was a small chess piece running around on it. On this chessboard, the other white chess pieces on his team were gone. Meanwhile, those heavily armed black pieces were all looking to hunt favonovel.com down and kill him.
