2023-02-06 17:25:09Bruce Waylen, a man lying on a hospital bed opened his eyes. Bruce saw the flicker of lights and smelled the strong cent around him. Bruce tried to understand his situation as he felt dizziness.
"What happened? Why am I ended up here?" Bruce said as his eyes looking around.
Flashes of memory seemed to shine back in his blinking eyes. Bruce was at a Halloween party. He came because he heard the news that his girlfriend, Valerie Brown, was dancing with a famous guy who had just joined their Officer Military School.
Bruce had heard the rumours about their relationship lately, but he decided to close his eyes and believe Valerie's words, even though his girlfriend was treating him so coldly.
"Why didn't Valerie invite me? Why did she have to lie to me too?"
Bruce realised that the gap between Valerie and him in their relationship was getting wider. She often made excuses whenever Bruce wanted to spend time with her.
While thinking about his life, Bruce took the medicine he bought online. The pill is helpful as an immune booster so the condition can continue to be fit. The medicine seller said that it was not just any pill. It contained an efficacy effect in it. Bruce didn't care; as long as his body felt fit after drinking it, he didn't have a problem, even though sometimes he felt like he was getting electrocuted.
Amid the guidance Bruce was feeling, his mobile phone rang. He quickly checked it—a message from an anonymous sender, sending Bruce a photo of a crowded party scene. The picture showed Valerie dancing intimately with a man.
RING! RING! RING!
Bruce's mobile phone kept ringing, and the school's gossip group account started discussing the same. This time there were more messages and pictures. They complimented her appearance, but at the same time, they pitied her.
"Poor Valerie, she said her boyfriend just dumped her."
"Yes, even though it's unfortunate that a beautiful and popular girl seems to want to be with a guy like that."
"Her boyfriend is quite handsome but too bad he's just a poor and weak man."
Bruce was then surprised to see such a statement from another student in the group gossip account. He couldn't believe what he had just read.
The other messages kept coming, and some started talking about how foolish Bruce was when he decided to leave Valerie. The students sympathised and supported Valerie, and they even vilified Bruce.
"What the fuck? I can't believe this!"
Bruce felt that they messed everything up and needed to clarify the situation. He knew that this was just a misunderstanding.
Bruce decided to head to the party immediately because everything was so chaotic. He knew where they were holding it. It's just that Bruce didn't get an invitation at all.
After getting ready and about to leave the house, Bruce suddenly felt a shock effect like an electric shock when he opened the door. It didn't stop there, he also heard a voice he didn't know where it was.
"System activated. Adjusted to the user. Installation process started."
But Bruce ignored it, thinking that he might have heard wrong or it was coming from a neighbour who also happened to be having a movie show together in the yard. He was hurrying to the Halloween party.
When he arrived, Bruce immediately went inside the building. The sound of music echoed clearly. The glow of the dance lights also made Bruce's vision blurry.
"Valerie, Valerie," Bruce tried to call out his girlfriend's name.
The people who began to realise Bruce's presence in the middle of the party started to stare at him and sneer at him. They weren't even ashamed to address Bruce directly.
But Bruce didn't care about them; he focused on finding Valerie's whereabouts. Bruce felt it was vital for him to clear up all the misunderstandings.
In the middle of the crowd dancing, a woman came closer and deliberately threw the drink she was drinking into Bruce's face.
"Oops, sorry, not sorry. That's for what you did to Valerie."
Several other girls, angrily looking at him, doused Bruce with the drinks in their hands. Bruce knew them, as the girls were among the most popular students at Officer Military School.
But Bruce still didn't respond to them, even though he felt humiliated by the girls in his heart, whereas he had done nothing wrong.
Glancing at the end of the room, Bruce found the silhouette of Valerie making out with another man. Bruce, who was hurt, became even more emotional at sight. He continued to walk in that direction.
"What are you doing, Valerie?" Bruce shouted when he got there.
"I really didn't expect you to get this low," he continued.
Valerie caught off guard, was shocked that Bruce had met her there. As a few glances turned towards them, Valerie quickly played her act.
"Bruce... you still dare to come here after what you did to me."
"Well, I admit I lied when I said you had dumped me. But it's all because I still love you. The retaliation you gave me was unnatural. I'm tired of you assaulting me and treating me with contempt. Yet you still dared to appear before me after I reluctantly broke up with you."
Bruce couldn't believe that Valerie had completely twisted the situation. The girl had had an actual affair, but she accused Bruce of being responsible.
She ruined Bruce's reputation in front of his schoolmates. He had no idea that Valerie would behave this ridiculously in front of everyone. Bruce came with good intentions, but instead, Valerie treated him unpleasantly.
Amid the tense situation, a voice rang out in Bruce's mind. "Synchronisation complete. The Mission launched, avenging Valerie's deeds right now. If not, punishment will follow."
But Bruce, who was still in a daze, ignored the notification. He thought it was just the moaning sound of his heart screaming because it hurt. But Bruce's love still clouded his vision.
In a chaotic condition, some students from the basketball club came up to Bruce and took him away. They were not Bruce's friends, but they were all so friendly.
"Never mind, mate, don't be too sad. You can persuade your girlfriend later. Now enjoy the party."
"Have these pills; you'll be much happier," he said, putting some pills into Bruce's mouth.
System: "Mission declared a failure. The user will receive punishment. Body protection will be deactivated."
Bruce, who was in turmoil, followed whatever they did. Bruce's mind could have been clearer, so he ended up on the dance floor. He even forgot that he didn't recognise the people around him.
On the other hand, the basketball club lads didn't stop to give him pills and drinks that they had mixed with a special liquid. They were playing a prank on Bruce because he had ruined Valerie's mood, so the girl would no longer dance with their boss. The students played around with Bruce before they finally sent him away.
"What liquid did you mix into the drink?"
"I don't know; I just bought it online."
Bruce started to feel restless, hot, and sick from drinking too much. He then disappeared into the toilet. But not long after, the basketball club kid immediately followed him and was about to ask Bruce to leave. The students in the basketball club were friends of Valerie's mistress.
"Where are you guys taking me?" asked Bruce.
"To a place that's more fun than here, mate," they replied, then carried Bruce out of there.
"As military lads, we won't let you off easy. After what you've done, you should be punished, my friend. Let us show you the real war situation," muttered one of them.

"You said your evidence was stored in a shopping mall in the centre of Carthage?" Bruce looked at the Masked Fox suspiciously.The woman nodded. "Yes. How can I take those things with me? Of course, I'll find a place to hide them."Bruce thought for a moment."Bruce, I think this woman might be lying to you," Derek said cautiously.Bruce looked at the Masked Fox again."Believe it or not, but I value my life very highly," the woman responded with a shrug."Sarah, wait here. You can call the police and have them come. I'll go with him to get the evidence." Bruce made a decision.The Masked Fox smiled and looked at Bruce. "Young man, aren't you afraid I will attack you if you go alone?""Before you attack, my sword will split your veins," Bruce replied coldly.Bruce pushed the Masked Fox out. There were several cars parked on the roadside by the men in black.Bruce casually found a car and threw the Masked Fox in th

Roy continued to crawl on the ground. Roy did not have the courage of Dextor, who could kill everyone, including himself, and all he wanted to do right now was live.SLASH!Roy screamed in pain. There were four Soul Swords embedded in his thigh."Release me. Please let me go. Bruce, we are still family, after all." Roy prayed while crawling.Bruce moved his finger slightly, and four more Soul Swords pierced Roy's back."Family? Now you know that we're family? I haven't forgotten how you, the family, treated us, mother and daughter."A murderous aura and a cold feeling, at this moment, everything appeared in Bruce's mind. Four more Soul Swords were stuck on Roy's back."Ah, Bruce. I am guilty. I know I'm guilty; I'm just a dog from the Waylen family. That, those things are not what I want to do." Roy cried and shouted; he was scared.SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!Roy's arm was in pain as four Soul Swords were stabbed into h
Chapter 494: Counterattack
"At that time, you already knew that person was a fraud. Why didn't you expose that woman at that time?" Sarah asked in confusion.Bruce shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, I'm not sure if that woman is an imposter, and if she really is an imposter, and I expose her directly, won't you be in danger?"Bruce walked towards Roy."And I really couldn't find any clues at the time. I'm not sure who was trying to hurt Mr Maverick.""So, instead of looking around like a blind cat, I co-operated. After saving Sarah, I created a fake death scene."Bruce took out the Supreme Gold Card from Roy's pocket."Some things that are not yours will never be yours!" Bruce said indifferently."Son of a bitch!" Roy gritted his teeth, and his hand pulled a gun from his waist.Bruce's fingers moved slightly, and a cold light flashed.A hand holding a gun landed on the ground, and blood splattered all over the floor."Ah... my hand."

Chapter 493: Delayed Death
In a villa on the city's outskirts, the morning light shines on the villa's roof."This is the first time I've felt so happy waking up in the morning, and with a glass of wine too. What a nice life." A young man in a nightgown holds a glass of red wine in his hand."Don't get too cocky, Lad. Everything is set. From now on, there is no more Mr. Maverick or Bruce in Carthage.""Everything in the underground world of Carthage is yours."Several figures walked out from behind. "But don't forget who gave you all this. Dextor, Mr Shelton."Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at Dextor in front of him. A smile appeared at the corner of Dextor's mouth as he raised the glass before Roy."Of course I understand. Without the Waylen family, I wouldn't have been able to take down my godfather.""It's all thanks to the Waylen family and Mr. Waylen," Dextor said in a flattering tone,"Feel free to let me know if you need anything! I will do anyt
Chapter 492: Betrayal
Bruce was surprised to see Sarah with a wicked smile on her face."Cough! Why? You..." Bruce vomited another mouthful of blood and instantly fell to the ground.In disgust, Sarah threw away the bloody dagger in her hand and walked to Roy's side while swaying her hips."Mission accomplished. That dagger I used was poisoned, so she can't show her skills now, no matter how strong they are.""You'll be poisoned to death in half an hour." Sarah smiled wickedly.Bruce looked at Sarah and said angrily, "You're not Sarah! Who the hell are you?""Ranked third in the Apol Slayer Ranking, Masked Fox.""Sarah" licked her lips and grabbed the back of her neck.A crack appeared in Sarah's skin. Then, Sarah's scalp and hair were removed. The real face under the mask was revealed. The person had short hair, a sharp nose, fair skin, and sly eyes."How, how did this happen? Where is Sarah?" Bruce gritted his teeth and roared."You
Chapter 491: The Perfect Trap
"This is indeed too coincidental; could it be that someone..." Sarah muttered. Bruce raised his head and looked at the rehabilitation centre behind him."This is not possible. It must have been planned.""Someone got rid of all these people before we could get any information and left us with no leads!" Bruce clenched his fist.Now, all the clues that might have existed were gone. Even if Bruce believed in Mr Maverick, it was useless that he had no evidence to prove that Mr Maverick was not a drug dealer. The court needed evidence!"Then what should we do now?" asked Sarah. Bruce said nothing."Well... we haven't eaten since this morning. How about... let's eat something?" Sarah whispered.Bruce raised his head and walked while pushing his motorbike."Hey, where are you going?""Eat.""Who do you think is behind this? Everything is well planned; the person behind all this is not someone to be underestimated.""And I know Mr Maverick's influence very well. " While eating, Bruce frowned
Chapter 490: False Accusations
[Location: at the police station.]"Come on, let's go see Mr Maverick now." Bruce looked at the door of the police station."Come with me."Sarah led Bruce to the police station."Captain Johnson, why are you back?""Sarah, you're home! I heard that something happened to the Sea Queen that you travelled on Yakut during a business trip!""Captain Johnson!" Everyone in the police station was surprised by Sarah's arrival.The two went to the innermost room of the police station where the prisoner was."Why is Mr Maverick still locked up at the police station?" asked Bruce.Bruce says the inmate must be transferred to prison after the first hearing."I heard that because Mr Maverick hasn't explained much, and the police still want to know how many drug dealers there are in Carthage, so he's locked up here for now."As Sarah explained, a gate blocked her way."Captain Johnson." A police officer stood up.<
Chapter 489: The Mystery of Intelligence
Bruce couldn't believe the boy had undergone so much change in less than half a month. But Bruce could still recognise Leviathan's voice."Bruce, did you return because of Mr Maverick and the others?" Leviathan walked up to Bruce.Bruce looked around. "Why did you wake up so early? Did you not sleep well?""I woke up when you opened the door, Bruce. I have installed infrared alarm devices on the walls and all the gates of the welfare house. Once someone enters the welfare house, I will be alerted by the tablet."Leviathan took out a small tablet, which showed the display of some software. "Infrared alarm device?""Did Mrs Sanders buy this tablet for you? How did you get an infrared alarm device?" Bruce asked in surprise."I bought the tablet while I installed the infrared alarm device and others in the welfare house. I did it when everyone was asleep at night.""Miley and Mrs Sanders don't know about it.""The whole thing cost
Chapter 488: Following the Trail
"Look out!" Bruce suddenly pushed Sarah away.BANG!The bullet hit the ground and left a hole."Again?" Sarah fell to the ground. Fortunately, Sarah quickly held her hands to the ground to balance herself. Otherwise, Sarah would have been injured.Saran wondered why people in Carthage could get guns so easily. Sarah had already experienced several gunshots in a day.BANG! BANG!There were two more shots. Despite the silencer, Bruce could still hear the gunshots faintly.Two Soul Swords appeared in Bruce's hands; then he parried the two incoming bullets—the impact produced sparks."There is one right in front, 1 o'clock direction.""One more at seven o'clock."Bruce confirmed the shooter's location through the bullet trajectory. Bruce looked to the side and kicked the wooden door next to him."Go in and hide inside. I'll get rid of them!" Bruce pushed Sarah into the room.BANG! BANG!Ther
