The Purifier System

A Robbery

Ryder glanced at the man rushing towards him and couldn't help but smirk.

His reflexes and reaction time were not ordinary anymore. After all the system had injected into him, even if there were fifty of the men, they wouldn't be able to beat him.

What's more, they were only about fifteen, so he didn't put them in his eyes at all.

Ryder stepped back a little the moment the man got closer to him, making the baton hit nothing but the air.

At the same time, Ryder moved, grabbing the man’s outstretched hands.

Using the momentum to his advantage, he pulled him closer, raised his legs and kicked the man's groin.

"Argh!"

A blood-curdling scream resounded throughout the room, but Ryder was not done yet.

He grabbed the man's collar, raised him, his elbow connected straight with his jaws..

"Arghhhh!"

The man screamed again, but this was just the beginning, Ryder was not ready to let go.

Ryder released the man and he fell to the floor on his fours breathing heavily

Before he could breathe properly, Ryder raised his legs and kicked his abdomen, sending him flying.

"Bang!" The man flew, colliding with the glass table nearby by breaking it almost immediately.

But Ryder was still not satisfied and walked over to the man, grabbed his collar, raised him, and punched his abdomen.

"Splurt!"

The man immediately coughed out blood. His eyes were swollen and there were shards of glass on his body.

Ryder glanced at the man and punched him again before finally releasing him and turning around to observe the others.

Everyone's eyes were wide open as they all stared at Ryder in disbelief.

"Whose next?" Ryder grinned, scrutinizing the men who were covered in sweat

"You can all come, but remember I'll not show mercy, " Ryder continued with a smile while motioning with a hand.

Instantly, the men moved backward; none of them dared to move closer to Ryder.

"Seems like you're all still having the thoughts of attacking." Ryder narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal dropping to the floor echoed throughout the Villa, and the men took a step backward again; none of them dared to face Ryder.

A smug smile slowly crept into Ryder’s face and he turned to the three men who were still sitting on the sofa.

Their expressions had changed. Sweat covered their foreheads, while the hands holding the cigarette shivered, their whole body trembled.

"Are you going to get up, or should I come get you up?" Ryder scowled, moving towards them.

Just as if there were needles on the couch, the three-shot up almost immediately.

They had seen how cruel Ryder was. Their men were cowards and they had no skills whatsoever.

They didn't want to end up like the first man, so they had to do all that Ryder was going to say.

"Now, let's go," Ryder commanded, and the three men nodded.

In the face of real power, they didn't dare make a sound and just nodded.

After all, they were not hardened criminals and were just some miscreants who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

------

Thirty minutes later, a car pulled up before the police station.

Alighting from it was Ryder and the three men following him with their heads down.

Though Ryder didn't handcuff them, they didn't dare run away.

Walking into the police station, Ryder's colleagues froze, gazing at Ryder, their mouths open wide unable to close anymore while they blinked as though they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Then they stared at the three criminals who were following him like they were his children..

They naturally knew what had happened and knew he had been punished. But what they didn't expect was that he was going to come back with criminals.

"Ryder, you've done a good job." A familiar hoarse voice came just as Ryder locked the criminals in the cell.

"Thank you, sir." Ryder turned around and bowed to the man, who happened to be his superior and was the one who had punished him.

Ryder sighed in relief, knowing that there was no need for him to go and meet him in his office.

"Next time, you have to be more careful, I won't ask how you managed to bring them back." The hoarse voice sounded and Ryder felt a hand pat his shoulder.

Hearing this, Ryder was even more relieved, but just as he was about to say something, a mechanical voice rang in his head.

"Mission Accomplished."

"Reward is ready. Check your rewards icon to redeem." The mechanical voice continued and the light screen popped up in front of Ryder.

Looking at the screen, Ryder noticed that the last mission to capture the three criminals that had escaped was full and soon it disappeared.

The one to capture fifty criminals in a month read three out of fifty, while the one for ten criminals read three out of ten. This made Ryder satisfied and he wondered what was the reward he got.

He wondered if it was going to be money or something else as it was what he needed the most. After all, he was broke. And once he left work, he would have no money on him. So he hoped it was going to be money.

Just as he was about to click on the rewards panel, he heard a voice bringing him back to his senses.

"But why aren't you in your uniform?" Tim, narrowed his brows looking at Ryder.

"I..."

"You don't have to explain, we have more crucial issues on ground." Tim waved his hands, interrupting Ryder who was about to explain himself.

"Everyone, gather around." He ordered, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

Immediately, the police officers gathered around Tim, wondering what he wanted to say.

"There's a robbery going on at Crestwood Bank." Tim announced, his voice low, but serious, causing the expression of the police officers to change the moment they heard this.
