Immediately, Jia Wu and Shi Wu, with perfect coordination, pursued the sniper.

The sharp blade and lightning streaked towards the sniper on the opposite building rooftop at incredible speed.

At the same time, both kept moving forward, always prepared to engage with the opponent.

However, after leaving the base hotel building, they saw Dr. Jin, falling from the back window of room 909, heading straight down. The two quickly used their abilities to attack Jin Tai Lin’s fatal weak points.

Jin Tai Lin looked at their attacks, astonished.

Upstairs, Nan Muran was gradually adjusting her mental abilities, and she too saw what was happening in the back alley of the hotel. But what was more troublesome than the back alley was that, about fifty meters outside the hotel, Chen Shuhan was leading more than thirty abilities users straight toward the hotel.

“Chen Shuhan doesn’t have any evidence, does he?” Seeing his confident demeanor, Nan Muran was starting to have doubts.

Si Ye thought her question was rather cute: “What do you think?”

Nan Muran was handling things with Xiao Liu and Xiao Bai.

With Jia Wu and Eagle, two top-level experts, handling the aftermath, Chen Shuhan wouldn’t be able to get any evidence.

“Then with all this momentum, isn’t he worried about not being able to finish the job?” Nan Muran wondered.

“Maybe he’s just lost his reason out of anger,” Si Ye replied, thinking about Chen Shuhan’s attitude toward Zhou Jing and roughly guessing what he was thinking.

Nan Muran nodded. “Let’s go meet him.”

The two opened the door.

To their surprise, in addition to Eagle and Qijin, who had been there since the morning, there were Han Yingtian, Cheng Cheng, and Xiang Xi standing by the door.

Seeing the two of them safely coming out, everyone relaxed.

“Let’s go downstairs. Our trouble has arrived,” Nan Muran said coldly, as if nothing had changed.

With her mental abilities gradually recovering, she had already sensed the surrounding situation.

She clearly saw that the person who had rescued Jin Tai Lin was a peak-level fifth-tier control-type ability user. And now, this person was quietly staring at her.

As long as she didn’t act, he wouldn’t act recklessly. But if she moved, he wouldn’t stand by.

His threat to her came from Jia Wu and Shi Wu, whom they had just chased after.

Nan Muran’s sensing abilities were extremely accurate. Indeed, there was a control-type ability user nearby who had also sensed her strong abilities.

At the same time, Jia Wu continued to approach the back of the opposite building, looking for the sniper who had attacked Nan Muran and Si Ye earlier.

Shi Wu stayed behind, attacking Jin Tai Lin, who was fleeing from 909.

However, all of Shi Wu’s attacks, within about five meters of Jin Tai Lin, were blocked by an invisible barrier, falling to the ground.

Jin Tai Lin watched Shi Wu’s swift and fierce attacks, and panic began to set in.

His defense-type ability, “Fortress,” had been used during his earlier fight with Nan Muran and Si Ye upstairs. Now, it could deplete at any moment.

If the strong man in front of him continued his attacks, there was a high chance he wouldn’t be able to escape.

After a quick glance at the dark alley, Jin Tai Lin immediately activated the “Fortress” on Shi Wu and ran off down the alley without looking back.

Seeing him retreat, Shi Wu tried to break through the barrier, but the forcefield stopped him. Without hesitation, he pursued Jin Tai Lin.

Faintly, Shi Wu heard the sound of the blade piercing flesh, though he wasn’t sure if it was a fatal blow.

At the same time, Jia Wu had already reached the bottom of the opposite building. He didn’t immediately go upstairs but carefully confirmed the route Jin Tai Lin would take to leave.

He slipped into the shadows around the corner, waiting silently like a hunter.

As time passed, Jia Wu stared at the exit direction, his eyes not blinking.

As expected, two figures appeared and exited the building in succession.

Jia Wu, whose body had been still, exploded with astonishing speed, his dagger rapidly approaching the two snipers.

The two snipers reacted quickly, sensing the danger and dodging to the side. Jia Wu’s dagger missed.

He changed direction, blocking their escape route and quietly observing, only to realize they were from Black Ice.

“If you don’t want to die, get lost,” said one young sniper, about twenty years old, with a cold tone as he stared at Jia Wu.

The older sniper beside him turned pale. “Jia Wu? You’re still alive.”

The younger sniper froze. He knew the name Jia Wu all too well—a legendary mercenary. He single-handedly slaughtered a hundred-plus members of a mafia base for revenge and walked out alive.

Jia Wu didn’t show mercy just because they were old acquaintances. His gaze was cold, and the power of lightning gathered and released in a split second.

In an instant, the two snipers trembled uncontrollably before collapsing to the ground.

After confirming they were both dead, Jia Wu turned and headed straight for the base hotel.

“Jin Tai Lin has escaped,” Shi Wu quickly reported as he caught up with Jia Wu.

Upstairs, a petite woman turned to the elegant man in a white shirt beside her, confused by his inaction while Jia Wu and Shi Wu killed their enemies. “Xingchen, you just watched them kill our people and didn’t stop them?”

The man with phoenix eyes shook his head gently, speaking in a soft tone. “If I acted, we wouldn’t be able to leave today.”

“How is that possible?” The woman clearly didn’t believe him. Xingchen was the world’s most powerful ability user—how could they not leave?

Xingchen sighed lightly. “She’s a fifth-level mental-type ability user, and an attacking one at that.”

“What does that mean?” The woman was confused.

Xingchen didn’t answer her directly. Instead, he spoke gently, “Alright, let’s go back. Our mission is complete.”

The woman looked at him reluctantly but didn’t press further.

Since meeting him, Xingchen had always been a mysterious person. He was extremely handsome but not effeminate. He appeared gentle but was stubborn and resolute. Hardly anyone knew what he was thinking—least of all the woman who was closest to him.

Nan Muran felt the strong control abilities leave, and sensing that Jia Wu and Shi Wu were safely returning, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Shuhan, leading thirty-seven ability users from the Chen family’s Villa No. 5, immediately identified the rooms Zhou Ling had booked two days ago in the hotel lobby.

“Fifteenth floor, the eleven rooms on the east side of the elevator.” The hotel staff trembled as they looked at Chen Shuhan’s murderous aura.

Chen Shuhan’s eyes turned even more sinister as he heard the response.

He was almost certain that the ability users on the fifteenth floor had killed Zhou Jing.

At the same time, Zhou Ling had arrived, and as soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he shouted, “Chen Shuhan, what are you doing?”

Hearing Zhou Ling’s arrogant voice and recalling the tragic way Zhou Jing had been hung outside the window and tortured to death, Chen Shuhan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Zhou Ling. “Don’t you know?”

Zhou Ling feigned ignorance, shaking his head as he looked at Chen Shuhan. “I heard you’re targeting the Zhou family’s ability users.”

“They killed Zhou Jing, don’t you know?” Chen Shuhan became agitated.

Since both were prominent figures in Lan City’s security base, their confrontation soon attracted a growing crowd of onlookers.
