"Idiot," Reign coldly remarked.
"That's what you get for biting off more than you can chew," he added, letting out his anger one last time.
If there was one thing he was disappointed about right now, it was the fact that he couldn't torture Vincent slowly.
After confirming his target was dead using his undead eye, he lowered the seemingly ordinary pistol he was carrying.
Normally, a handgun wouldn't be capable of hitting a target at such a distance due to the limitations of its muzzle velocity and aerodynamic drag.
But, using his blue lightning element, he imparted additional kinetic energy to the bullet, augmenting its speed and force.
This enhancement extended the projectile's effective range beyond conventional limits, resulting in a shot that surpassed even the longest distances achievable by the most powerful sniper rifles currently available.

In addition, because of the bullet's incredible speed, the wind had minimal effect on its trajectory, enabling him to accurately shoot Vincent.
As he stood there, he heard the distant sound of rotor blades approaching.
'So the backup has arrived' he mused inwardly, observing as dots in the sky grew closer and closer.
In the distance, a fleet of helicopters approached the building, their presence growing nearer.
Looking below, the roads were also filled with tanks and other military vehicles rushing in, a formidable show of military might converging on his location.
There were even combat robots, at least five dozen of them surrounding the entire area.
It was clear that the authorities weren't taking any chances.
He would have loved to play with them, but he needed to ensure Cyril was safe.
'I'll kill you all later,' he thought.
Before exiting the office, he inserted a Data Stick into the desk computer . This way, the mainframe could be hacked, and the CCTV footage erased.
With the flash drive in place, he watched as the hacking program quickly did its job.
Within moments, the screens flickered, and the data began to disappear.
Satisfied, he turned around and went to check on Cyril.
She was still sleeping soundly in the bed, which was better for him—it meant he could move unhindered.
'I'll bring you to a safer place,' he muttered, even though he knew she couldn't hear him.
"Welcome back," she greeted.
Her back turned toward them so George and Melissa didn't see her face, but her voice alone suggested she was a beauty.
"You made quite a commotion," she giggled, showing that she wasn't displeased with what he had done.
"You helped me a lot this time," Reign responded, his tone surprisingly thankful.
Normally, he would be too reserved to admit it, but he must give credit where it was due.
"Of course I'll help you, we are partners," Lilith replied.
This time, she stood up and turned around to face them while holding her glass of wine.
George and Melissa were shocked; she was even more charismatic and alluring than Cyril.
'Why is this guy a chick magnet?' George thought, glancing at Reign and noticing how Lilith seemed to hold this man eating monster in high regard.
'Is it just me, or am I becoming less attractive?' Melissa wondered silently. She could sensed her confidence slipping with each passing moment.
Anna, Cyril, and now Lilith—she felt like all the women in Reign's life were stunning beauties of their generation.
While Melissa knew she was beautiful in her own right, she couldn't help but feel that her genes were too ordinary compared to theirs.
"I'm sorry, where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lilith," she apologized warmly, her tone instantly making everyone lower their guards down.
Melissa nodded and smiled politely, while George was still struck by her beauty.
Even his wife, Annabelle, couldn't compare to Lilith's effortlessly charming face. Her purple hair and eyes made her stand out even more—she was otherworldly beautiful.
THUD!
Reign kick George's behind after seeing him waste time.
"Pervert," Melissa sneered in disdain, knowing exactly what was going on in George's mind.
Lilith, on the other hand, just smiled at their interaction.
She was accustomed to this kind of situation; after all, her beauty was renowned even in the highest echelons of Hell.
She even recalled a time when even the King of Hell himself tried to win her over.
It was a rough period, and she had ended up hiding for countless years until the connection to the human world was reestablished.
"Please bring her to the other room. I've already called a private doctor to check on her," Lilith said, breaking the awkward silence.
