Chen Hao led the two demi-human girls behind him toward the central district. Tsukuyomi, having not eaten enough and having suffered a lot of torment in the basement, was a little weak and carried Setsuna at a slow pace.
Therefore, Chen Hao could only slow down and wait for them. Now that they were outside, there were many people around, and as the master of the demi-human slaves, he couldn't be too gentle. In the lawless land of Lanarita, gentleness would only be seen as proof of weakness, and weak people would only be bullied.
He keeps a low profile and doesn't want to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, trouble sometimes comes knocking on your door.
Because there was a slow-moving burden behind them, their speed was naturally slowed down considerably, as they had cultivated their mental abilities and were extremely sensitive to the perception of thoughts.
Chen Hao now sensed that some people had surrounded him, disguised as pedestrians, subtly observing him while harboring malicious intent.
Is he blind? Or... is he sent by the store to double-cross us?
In the slums of Lanarita, even the shops you visit can't be trusted easily, because most of them are shady businesses.
Without a powerful background, one can easily become a target for double-crossing.
This is Lanaritta, where human selfishness and greed are most clearly displayed.
There's no need to hold back against these malicious individuals; their hands certainly aren't clean either.
Chen Hao had already prepared to launch a surprise attack. As a partner of justice, he felt no guilt and had nothing to worry about when dealing with these villains.
In this place, you don't need to ask permission before making a move. After all, everyone's in the underworld, so there's no need to talk about chivalry or honor.
Let's begin then; the first move is always the best.
Chen Hao began to carefully confirm the location of all enemies around him who were hostile to him, and calculate the appropriate angle and posture for his attack.
Seven people? That's alright, I can handle it.
These people noticed that Chen Hao was secretly observing them, and realized that they might have been exposed. They were already prepared to take direct and forceful action.
They were indeed the people sent by the shop to double-cross them. According to the intelligence they received, this boy was just an alchemist with low combat power, but he was very wealthy. If they took him down, they could get a lot of money.
Many people have already secretly slipped their hands into their pockets and grabbed the daggers hidden inside.
A dagger, as a weapon for covert attacks, is naturally the best choice. It is small, convenient, and very easy to hide.
Although I did consider bringing a crossbow, its size made it difficult to conceal and it was easy to be spotted, so I didn't bring it.
The gangsters slowly and stealthily approached Chen Hao, now only seven steps away at the closest point.
Within seven steps, the knife is swift.
Thinking of this, the gangster couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile. He leaned forward, his pace suddenly quickened, and the dagger in his hand was ready to stab.
But the next second, he froze, because the boy had turned around and a short gun appeared in his right hand, which he didn't know where he had taken out or when it had appeared.
More accurately, it was a pistol, a large-caliber pistol, with the muzzle already pointed at his forehead.
"Bang!"
Within seven steps, the knife is swift.
Within seven steps, the gun is both fast and accurate.
The supersonic, large-caliber bullet blew the gangster's head off.
The other gang members were momentarily stunned upon hearing the gunshot, but quickly reacted and began to run and charge towards the boy.
It's just a short-barreled rifle. Most short-barreled rifles can only hold one bullet, and those with multiple shots are the rarest kind. They didn't believe that this boy would have one.
Take him down while he's out of bullets!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Five shots rang out in quick succession.
Chen Hao had already calculated the positions of all the enemies. The instant he fired the first shot, he immediately adjusted his posture, direction, and aim, and pulled the trigger again to fire the next shot.
Although these people are also level 20 or higher, which is considered elite among humans, their speed is already very fast.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao was faster. Not only was his level higher than theirs, but he also possessed a speed talent value of 200, which was far beyond what ordinary people could achieve. This created an insurmountable gap between them and Chen Hao.
Moreover, no matter how fast they are, they can't outrun a bullet.
Bullets traveling at supersonic speeds struck their designated targets one after another, the heads of the five targeted gangsters exploding one after another, their bodies falling to the ground one after another.
After the gunshot, smoke filled the air, and only one gang member remained in the room.
The last remaining gangster in the room stopped in his tracks, watching his companions fall one by one, his body covered in cold sweat.
They all miscalculated; it was a rapid-fire attack!
At that moment, the boy had already pointed the gun at him. The gangster looked at the dark muzzle of the gun and despair began to set in.
Tsukuyomi watched all this in astonishment, completely unprepared for this sudden battle.
Are all humans... this cruel?
Tsukuyomi looked at her master, the boy in front of her who was holding a strange weapon. Even though he had directly killed six of his own kind, Tsukuyomi's expression remained calm and unwavering.
It was as if life was worthless in his eyes…
