Chapter 8

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone in the corridor was stunned by the sudden attack.

Smith’s act of killing his subordinate had already brought their morale to the brink of collapse.

Even if they had been through hundreds of battles, they didn’t want to die so abruptly. Meanwhile, the enemy would attack from an unexpected place.

At that moment, they felt as if bullets were going to shoot out of every door in the corridor.

They seemed to be surrounded—surrounded by one person.

The solid concrete wall could only block their bullets, but it couldn’t stop the enemy’s attack at all.

Jin Yuchen didn’t continue fighting. Instead, he broke another wall and escaped the room.

“He’s moving to the right room!”

“Stick to the wall! Stay away from the door!”

Smith casually wiped the blood off his face. A ricochet bullet had just grazed him.

Jin Yuchen’s surprise attack had almost killed him.

His anger and blood loss had reduced his judgment. Although he had given the order, he had clearly ignored an important factor.

If the room’s walls couldn’t stop Jin Yuchen, could the walls outside do so?

A fist broke through the wall.

The wall made a tearing sound like a cloth, and then a horizontal breach was drawn.

A man in a suit who was close to the wall grabbed his shoulder and looked down at his body in horror.

Jigen-ryu!

This was a Japanese katana technique named after the wound of the person who was slashed vertically.

At that moment, Jin Yuchen used his palm to perform a blade technique!

The ability of Nero Gold Coins was to strengthen one’s physical fitness. Jin Yuchen’s fingers had become weapons after all kinds of cruel training, so their lethality was beyond imagination after the enhancement.

This scene, which was close to tearing a living person apart, completely shattered the psychological defenses of everyone present.

“Monster!”

“It’s strange!”

“Help!”

…

The crowd didn’t care that the door behind them was wide open, and they ran up the stairs.

There was only one exception, and that was Smith. He was the only person in the corridor who was still rational.

The blood on his face was like a small fountain. After activating his ability, his blood flowed at an exaggerated speed, but he didn’t dare stop the bleeding. He knew the reason the other party let the living escape.

He didn’t run away. This unknown and terrifying enemy was creating a 1v1 environment.

If he were to escape, the enemy would definitely pursue him, and his chances of survival would be close to zero.

As long as he maintained his ability, the other party might not be able to kill him even if they fired a shot.

A moment later, Smith took a deep breath.

“Friend, I’ve lost this fight. Since you can’t kill me, why don’t you let me go?”

Jin Yuchen did not answer.

Smith continued. “It seems like you are very confident. But you’re definitely not as strong as you look.”

“I’m guessing Vera must have injured you. That b*tch also had gold coins. It shouldn’t have been easy for you to win.

“If you were really that strong, you wouldn’t have had to hide from the start and play a game of cat and mouse, am I right?”

Jin Yuchen remained silent. On the surface, he seemed to have the upper hand, but in reality, they were in a stalemate.

Smith’s guess was right. He wasn’t as strong as he looked. He cherished the number of times he could use the ticket.

After all, the entrance ticket was not just a ticket. There were all kinds of dangers in the tomb.

It was far more dangerous than fighting with this group of mercenaries.

It would be a big deal if he entered the tomb and died because of the limited number of ticket uses.

‘As expected of a future well-known ability user. Although he does not have any combat experience in terms of abilities, he’s quite smart.’

Jin Yuchen’s silence gave Smith enough information.

You haven’t said anything, nor did you continue to attack. It seems that my guess is right.

“How about this? Let’s make peace. It won’t do you or me any good if we continue to waste time, especially you.”

Smith smiled and put his hand to his ear.

“Listen.”

Jin Yuchen’s ears twitched as he heard the sound of police sirens.

“The police are here. I have my company’s protection. At the very least, I’ll have to go to court.

“As for you, you have no one to rely on. If you get caught, you’ll probably be sentenced to death.

“You are experienced and must have taken more lives than me. You can still leave at this time, but if you wait any longer, you won’t be able to leave. You don’t want to die with me, do you?”

It was a compelling reason, and Jin Yuchen was tempted.

No wonder this fellow was so arrogant and cruel that he had lived for so long and could even make a name for himself in the future.

‘But that’s why he’s going to die.’

It was not scary to have enemies, but it was not good news to have an enemy who was smart and vicious.

Jin Yuchen was afraid that he would have to eat in fear in the future.

“I don’t care,” said Jin Yuchen. “I’ve lived long enough.

“That Vera was so moist. You guys are so shameless to use her as bait, huh?

“Tsk, tsk, what a wonderful memory.”

Blood suddenly spurted out of Smith’s face.

He had not f*cked that woman yet!

Jin Yuchen knew about Smith’s special fetish. As long as he had a female subordinate, he would try to sleep with her.

He was notorious in the company.

Although he never succeeded, he would treat his female subordinates as his exclusive property during his missions.

There were also female members who took the initiative to form a team with him for the so-called sense of security.

Therefore, this was also a semi-public secret in the company.

It was not that he lacked women, but he was simply a psychopath.

Of course, the employees of McRae Corp. all had psychological problems…

“Oh, is that so?”

Hearing Smith’s words, Jin Yuchen was relieved.

The man in front of him was starting to get emotional and abandon his greatest weapon—his rationality.

Then, in the next second, both sides fired at the same time.

The sound of gunfire rang out, and Smith turned into a shadow as he scuttled around the corridor.

This man’s marksmanship was frighteningly accurate. He would have been shot full of holes if he had been too slow.

Then, in the next moment, Smith felt a pain in his chest.

A spray of blood spurted into the air.

He looked at the big hole in his chest in disbelief, his mouth full of blood.

What was this?

Jin Yuchen put down the cement block in his hand.

There was no need for a second shot.

A single magazine couldn’t take out Smith, whose reaction was enhanced. But when both sides fired simultaneously, the number of ricocheting bullets in the corridor experienced a two-fold increase.

And because of the cover, he was born to be invincible.

Multiple ricocheting bullets would consume Smith’s physical strength and the Nero Gold Coin’s remaining times of using its ability.

It was the beginning of the Great Tombs Era, so Smith definitely didn’t know that the tickets’ usage was not unlimited. The remaining gold coins were probably not as good as Alexander’s.

Jin Yuchen had been stalling for time. Smith was in a state of energy depletion, but Jin Yuchen was not.

This was an information gap. He only needed to fire another shot the moment Smith’s ability disappeared before he could adapt to his body, and he would be able to kill him.

There was no second sound in the world as Jin Yuchen threw the cement block like a shuriken!
