Chapter 1490: It’s Begun!
With a tone that seemed like a sigh, the man holding a longbow suddenly revealed a strong malice on his face.
"Of course, I want to see him!”
"After all…”
"An idiot like this, it’s the first time I’ve seen one!”
The man’s once decent face twisted with the malice in his heart, making him look extremely ugly, and when those venomous words came out, his ugliness was fully displayed.
Just like a clown entering a hall.
‘Old man’ glared angrily at the other.
Lauren Delder tried to open his mouth, but not a word could come out.
They were not only physically restrained, but their voices were silenced as well.
"Oh dear, I forgot, you can’t speak now.”The man with the longbow feigned surprise, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Huff, huff.
‘Old man’, Lauren Delder gasped for air as if recovering from drowning, especially ‘Old man’, who was breathing so hard that snot and tears streamed down his face.
Despite maintaining regular exercise, ‘Old man’s age meant he couldn’t keep up with the young, and the ‘Extraordinary Power’ he encountered was more inclined towards prophecy and warnings, offering little physical aid.
So, at this moment, he was quite in dire straits.
Upon seeing ‘Old man’s condition, the man holding the longbow laughed.
"Realize your mistake, and now wallowing in tears?”
"Or is it for your impending fate?”
"Cry and wail, it’s what you deserve.”
The man with the longbow stretched his tone.
‘Old man’ held back his tears, glaring at his opponent again.
He knew it was intentional from the other side.
The ‘Law Enforcers’ of Uptown in ‘Nightless City’, he’d heard about them.
A group of ruthless and cruel beings who love to toy with their prey.
But hearing and experiencing are worlds apart.
Seeing is believing.
Only by truly experiencing can one understand that such ‘Law Enforcers’ are far worse than imagined.
And…
Just like ‘Jing’!
Suddenly, ‘Old man’ realized.
When he first saw these ‘Law Enforcers’, he felt a sense of familiarity.
But he couldn’t place it.
Now, he finally realized.
It’s ‘Jing’!
These Law Enforcers are very much like ‘Jing’!
But not as good as ‘Jing’.
In terms of tactics or rhetoric, they’re somewhat contrived.
Would the ‘Law Enforcers’ of Uptown be worse than a ‘Lower City District’ agent?
‘Old man’ felt absurdity.
Maybe…
It’s because these people are the lowest of the ‘Law Enforcers’?
Or perhaps not even entering the ranks?
Only then could it explain why they pale in comparison to ‘Jing’.
And explain why they seemed so shallow.
As he thought more, ‘Old man’s gaze changed.
"Your gaze is really annoying!”
"Always reminds me of some unpleasant things.”
The man holding the longbow’s eyes turned cold.
His killing intent was undisguised.
‘Old man’ smiled.
If he was only guessing before, now he confirmed that they were indeed the lowest among ‘Law Enforcers’.
Otherwise, how could they be so easily read?
Even less than a street boss in District 16.
At least the street boss of District 16 knew not to let the opponent see his true intentions.
Of course, what made ‘Old man’ relax the most was that the warning in his heart began to fade.
It disappeared silently.
One must know that every time a warning fades, it is a gradual process.
This time, however, it vanished abruptly.
So sudden.
Though unsure why it disappeared so suddenly,
‘Old man’ knew he was safe.
His ability had never deceived him.
That was enough.
"Flustered and exasperated?”
"A bunch of weaklings in a superior guise.”
"Merely dressed in ‘Law Enforcer’ skin.”
Lauren Delder was more direct than ‘Old man’, speaking out with sarcasm.
‘Old man’ guessed, and so did Lauren Delder.
In some ways, Lauren Delder thought even more.
Because Lauren Delder used to be under ‘Jing’s command.
He knew more than ‘Old man’.
Therefore, the feelings were deeper.
The ‘Law Enforcers’ in front of him were indeed not as good as the troublesome ‘Jing’.
As for danger being averted?
Lauren Delder didn’t think that far.
This once collaborator of a big shot was now completely thrown to the wind.
Simply put, he had disrupted ‘Jing’s plan.
Moreover, ‘Jing’ had issued a ‘warrant’ in front of everyone in Ring City, Lower City District of ‘Nightless City’.
With such a premise, once caught…
It was a dead end.
No chance of staying alive.
And now, he was caught.
Rather than begging for mercy and enduring humiliation before dying,
Why not opt for a straightforward death.
In other words, Lauren Delder chose a straightforward manner of dying.
Those words naturally angered the man with the bow and arrow.
‘Old man’ merely used his eyes without speaking it out loud.
But Lauren Delder bluntly put it into words.
This Law Enforcer with the bow and arrow knew clearly this would make his already vulnerable reputation plummet further.
Just look at the eyes of those surrounding teammates.
This Law Enforcer with the bow and arrow could already imagine what he’d face upon returning to Uptown.
Damn it!
Cursing inwardly, this ‘Law Enforcer’ grew ever more resentful.
