Chapter 107: Turf war

'This woman is annoyingly persistent,"' I cursed inwardly as I attempted to outrun her. However, she proved to be even faster than me. The only reason I managed to maintain some distance was because I wasn't bothered by the crowd bumping into me, whereas she skillfully dodged them.

"Stop chasing me!" I yelled.

[Suggestion: Failed]

"I knew it," I clicked my tongue in frustration. My stamina wasn't that great compared to my other stats, and I needed to figure out a way to escape this relentless pursuit.

I scanned ahead, and my eyes landed on a group of people dressed in flowery clothing - they were my fellow gang members. It looked like a potential escape route, so I decided to make a dash for it, hoping to lose the police officer in the crowd.

"Stop her!" I commanded, attempting to use my abilities.

[Suggestion: Succeed]

One of the gangsters rushed forward to block her path on my behalf, but she swiftly incapacitated him with just one powerful kick to the stomach. My attempt to stop her had failed, and she was still hot on my trail.

'Useless,' I cursed under my breath, thoroughly unimpressed. He hadn't even lasted a second. With that level of skill, he should have been working an office job, not pretending to be a gangster.

'This woman is incredibly bothersome,'I muttered to myself in frustration.

"Stop her!"

"Stop her!"

"Stop her!"

[Suggestion: Succeed]

I spammed my skills in a desperate attempt to buy myself some time. I saw other gang members trying to stop her. Then, I quickly turned a corner, hoping to lose her in the alley.

[Complex Cognitive Instinct Level 5 —> Complex Cognitive Instinct Level 12]

I decided to invest in increasing my Complex Cognitive Instinct skill because at this moment, it provided the most significant boost to my fighting capabilities. As the skill level up, a multitude of scenarios flooded my mind, offering improved strategies and approaches to handle the ongoing situation more effectively.

"Chased him!"

A voice jolted my attention, and when I turned around, I saw Rak, one of my lackeys, being chased by six guys. The people around us also started running away in panic, creating a chaotic scene.

"Boss!" he shouted, coming to a sudden stop. It seemed like he had mustered some courage now that I was here to face off against the gangsters.

"This dimwit," I cursed silently, frustrated that the element of surprise had been lost with his abrupt announcement.

"Run to that alley!" I commanded, pointing in the direction of a nearby escape route.

Rak heard me and started running again. I wasted no time and followed them.

I quickly sprinted toward Rak, my fist clenched, and unleashed a powerful punch to one of the rival gangsters' faces who was chasing him.

*BAM!

His companions attempted to gang up on me, but with my heightened senses, I managed to evade their attacks easily , slipping through their attempts to corner me and made my way closer to Rak.

"Keep an eye on my back. If you spot someone trying to use a weapon, stop them no matter what," I whispered urgently to him.

In the midst of an all-out turf war, the likelihood of weapons being drawn and lives at risk was incredibly high.

[Suggestion: Success.]

"Yes Boss,"

"Good," I replied, and then turned towards the rival gangsters.

"Let's settle this like real men, with our fists!" I taunted them, a hint of confidence in my voice as I tried to bait them into a fair fight.

[Suggestion: Success.]
