“Get out of my sight, bastard.”Even though her leg felt locked in place and she couldn’t move her body, Valentina refused to remain silent.Death was better than surrendering to this ugly, foul-smelling giant.Yet for some reason, her body was growing weaker.At the same time, Doris’s heartbeat quickened with excitement. Drool even dripped unconsciously from the corners of his mouth.Valentina was no longer human. She was like a goddess—so beautiful she felt unreal.“I want to make you mine. Forever.”Doris could no longer hold himself back as he lowered his face toward Valentina’s leg, about to kiss it.“They say Havenport is the best city in Norvia because you’ll never see wild animals roaming the streets unless they’re about to be taken to the zoo. But why do I feel like the worst one is being left free?”A calm, low, yet resonant voice suddenly filled the entire fifth floor.Turning her head toward the source of the voice, Valentina murmured softly, “Martin.”Tears immediately st

“So you’re the one called Martin?”Staring sharply at Martin, Axel’s gaze was no longer as cold as before. The unease in his eyes could not be hidden.But let alone answering, Martin didn’t even turn his head.Instead, he shifted his gaze toward the pile of logs in front of him.A young girl leaned against a large beam, her hands tied.Taking off his suit jacket and placing it over Valentina’s body, Martin continued walking until he reached the stack of wood.Tap!His movement was incredibly smooth, as if his feet weren’t stepping—but gliding through the air.Standing about five meters away, Martin’s calm face suddenly tightened slightly when he saw the young girl’s condition.Unconscious and without a single thread on her body—it made his chest tighten.At the same time—“Damn it!”Clenching both fists tightly over his thighs, the muscles on Axel’s face bulged. From the corners of his open mouth, his upper and lower teeth ground against each other as if trying to crush one another.“

“Fuck this!”Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Axel threw a punch at Martin’s face.Punch!Punch!Anticipating that his opponent would dodge, Axel continued unleashing a relentless barrage of punches.“I told you,” Martin said calmly, tilting his head left and right to evade the attacks. “Your technique is seriously outdated.”The Twelve Steps of Death relied heavily on the opponent’s movements.If your opponent couldn’t read you, that was your advantage.But in front of Martin—who had mastered the same technique—it became a boomerang for Axel.Instead of reading Martin’s movements, Axel was being drawn into the rhythm Martin created.So rather than controlling the fight, he was the one being controlled.Bang!Martin’s fist shot straight forward, smashing into Axel’s eye and forcing him to stagger back several meters, shaking his head.“Damn it!”A dark bruise quickly spread across Axel’s left eye.Taking a deep breath, he glared sharply at Martin.“Don’t celebrate yet! Ta

Punch!Punch!Lowering his head, leaping, even shifting his body to the right and left, Martin was no longer fighting a human being—but a furious King Kong.Roar!With blood-red eyes, Axel kept intensifying his attacks.Missing his target only fueled his desire to strike faster and more viciously.“Alright, that’s enough playing around,” Martin said.Jumping into the air to avoid Axel’s sweeping arm, he lashed out with his right leg as fast as possible.Bang!What?The moment his kick landed squarely on his opponent’s face, Martin frowned.The previous two opponents would have been sent flying by that kick.But now Axel, in his gigantic form, merely shook his head and staggered back less than half a meter.“Damn! He’s much stronger than I thought.”Of course. Martin had overlooked one thing.If the serum could turn Mrs. Horner—an ordinary human—into a super-strong being capable of throwing four grown men with ease, what would happen if that same serum were used on someone who was alre

“Did you find it?”Limping toward Martin, Cassandra couldn’t hide her impatience as she waited to see whether he had discovered anything on the computer screen he had been working on.“Yes.”Martin nodded.“I think I’ve found a lead.”At first, Martin hadn’t expected that the dozens of screens in front of him were part of Cassandra’s highly advanced supercomputer system.With this computer, finding an ordinary person was nothing—let alone tracking down the most elite fugitives in the country.It was connected to CCTV cameras across almost the entire nation, and its servers were also linked to military satellites.Finding someone was far easier than searching for a needle in a haystack.“Look over there.”Martin pointed at one of the screens.Inside what looked like an abandoned building, a girl was sitting on the ground. Her hands were tied to an iron pole behind her.Because her head was lowered, Martin couldn’t clearly see her face from the CCTV angle displayed on the screen.“Are y
