Once the police chief was knocked out Stephen mouthed some words, "Destroy the cameras."I nodded slowly and then turned around, saying, "When are we leaving?""Now," he said and ran straight towards the door. I immediately followed him as I activated the Explosion skill. This is currently the best skill I have in destruction.I would have used the Shadow skill to silently remove the cameras but I didn't know where all the cameras were installed. Stephen would have told me but time was not on our side. We needed to get things done!Boom!There was a very big expression which sent flames billowing towards us like powerful waves capable of sweeping us through."Come on!" Stephen yelled as he continued running towards the door. He leaped into the air, thrust out his right foot, and kicked at the door with all his might.Bang!The door came off its hinges crashing to the ground. There was another long corridor with several cells filled with criminals."We need to get out of this place!" S

With those words, Stephen shot off the ground toward the Mercenary player, his right arm moving backward to swing his sword at the Mercenary player."The skill I displayed earlier is called the Confinement skill," the Mercenary player said casually as he blocked the sword with his bulky gun before throwing a powerful kick at Stephen's right leg. The latter was immediately sent down on one of his knees, his expression turning into a grimace.The man then kicked him in the torso, sending him flying into the air towards me. Stephen crashed to the ground with his back but bounced right up, pinning his sword to the ground."That skill allows me to lock a particular target or group of targets within another space," the man said. "In other words, no one is gonna find us until I kill you!"With those words, he charged at Stephen and fired the gun again. My eyes narrowed as I immediately leaped into the air to get Stephen from harm's way. But before I could get close, a large shield had alread

Seeing that Golden Buddha had escaped I couldn't help but collapse to the ground in exhaustion. I hadn't expected the seemingly young man from the virtual reality to be the ex-soldier. I had been fooled by my own teammate and would have been even killed at this point.I looked up in the direction where he had escaped and touched my right arm with my left hand. My arm seemed to have become numb and there was this pulsing sensation. I couldn't help but grimace as I stared at Stephen who had banished the door and was staring at me."You seem to know that guy," Stephen said as he scrutinized me with his cold eyes. "The way he looked at you after he saw you take that strange sword...""Retribution," I corrected him. "It's a demigod weapon with its consciousness. It wouldn't be like it if you kept calling it a strange sword."Stephen didn't appear surprised that I had a demigod weapon. His face was as expressionless as ever as he sized me up. He then said in a flat tone, "I have a demigod w

After seeing that the issue had been resolved by Stephen I felt very glad. I was no longer a wanted man and could leave my life freely. I wouldn't have to fear the Wade family for some time because they would definitely lay low. They would even go into hiding. Their secrets had been leaked and the government was already after them. Staying in the public would be detrimental to them. It was at this moment I realized something. Having supernatural powers didn't mean one could achieve everything.After becoming a player I had expected to become invincible. I thought I would be able to do anything I wanted to do. But I'd been very much free wrong. With every passing day, I realized how far I was from achieving my dream. Possessing wealth and player skills wasn't everything. It was very much evident in the Wade family's case. They were even wealthier than me and had several players working for them but chose to go into hiding after the government declared them wanted. Despite their power,

I kept silent for several minutes, my gaze fixed on Stephen whose expression had become indifferent as usual. I watched him wear his glasses and put his hair into place before reaching out my hand to wipe the beads of sweat on my forehead."Why did you guys keep this secret from me for a long period of time?" I couldn't help but ask Stephen. My tone was very much unpleasant as if I'd been scammed."It was to protect ourselves," Stephen replied."From what?" I couldn't help but ask in annoyance. "You were a player for God knows how long. What kind of protection wouldn't you be able to offer her?""You won't understand," Stephen. "Staying hidden was what we always did after escaping from the presidential villa.""And you think you haven't been noticed?" I asked Stephen."Noticed?" Stephen raised his eyebrows. "Are you talking about the Wade family being exposed to the government? I erased any traces pointing to me. The lawyer I employed would also hide my identity.""You..." I wanted to
