Despite the wounds, it seemed as if Gobo did not sense any pain at all. Instead, he howled as he continued to charge forward.The super cannon could not get a fixed aim on Gobo anymore, and Ryder took out his Alloy Dagger and ran toward Gobo.Wilbur crossed his arms in front of his chest, watching the battle.Both parties collided as Gobo swung his fists at Ryder relentlessly, a murderous expression on his face.Despite being burly and clumsy, Gobo was strong enough for each of his blows to pack a punch. As such, Ryder had no choice but to avoid them.However, Ryder himself was a skilled enough fighter. His combat skills were a force to be reckoned with too.The Alloy Dagger slashed and swiped, and Ryder was able to wound Gobo considerably even as he avoided the other's attacks.Gobo's animalistic instincts seemed to be triggered even more by his newly-inflicted wounds. He howled and roared as he continued to attack Ryder.The battle between them was exhilarating.A few minute
Wilbur coughed twice. "I've still got enough left for something like this."Ryder's expression darkened. He propped himself up against the nearest rock, using his remaining spiritual energy to deal with his injuries.Gobo was still thrashing about like a trapped beast. However, Wilbur paid him no heed as he continued inspecting Gobo's body."Why did you become like this, Gobo?" Wilbur asked.Gobo merely roared in response.Wilbur huffed. "It seems like you no longer have any sense left in you."A while later, Wilbur was finished inspecting Gobo's condition and walked over to Ryder. "So what's the next step?""Destroying him, of course," Ryder said.Wilbur shrugged. "Okay then."He then walked up to Gobo, looking at the skull etched onto his chest. "You're from the Skull Cult, huh? Do you know that I've already killed your leader?"Gobo roared again in response.Wilbur chuckled. "You could have done anything with your life, and yet you chose to join the Skull Cult. Look what
Wilbur had no choice but to exit the car. He looked at Jonah. "My good man, I told you not to start any trouble.""We're not close enough for you to call me that!" Jonah immediately shouted in response."What an idiot, he doesn't even know what he's gotten himself into.""I can't believe he still had the nerve to say that. What a joke.""Anyone who dares get on Mister Jemson's bad side has a death wish. I'm surprised he doesn't know that.""Acting all cocky in Rivertune City, does he take us for a joke?"Everyone mocked and jeered at Wilbur coldly with disdainful expressions on their faces.The two ladies even covered their mouths from how hard they were giggling, shaking their heads as they looked at Wilbur.Wilbur could just about guess that all of them came from backgrounds of wealth and power. They were used to getting things their way.He chuckled at Jonah. "Dude, we just had a little argument. Are you sure this is necessary?""This isn't about the argument anymore!" Jon
Jonah saw the officers coming over and immediately called out for his men to stop. He did not want to make his position of power look too obvious, after all.Jonah always felt a thrill whenever he saw the pleading expression on other's faces as they begged him for mercy. He wanted nothing more than for Wilbur to be his next victim.He was going to have the officers arrest him. After that, he would slowly torture him at the detention center.Jonah held back his anger, the scowl on his face turning into a smirk.Just then, the captain of the officers glanced at Wilbur before turning to Jonah. "What's the matter here?""What's your name?" Jonah demanded.Jonah actually did not know who this team captain was. He had only just called the vice-captain of Special Forces to send a team over, but this team captain probably knew who Jonah was."Team Captain of Team Two in Special Forces, Captain Burt Mackel," the team captain said.Jonah smirked as he nodded. "I suspect this man of illeg
Wilbur said coldly, "I just called you a bootlicking disgrace! Am I wrong? It's so clear that they're the ones who are doing illegal hunting with illegally owned firearms, and they even threatened to kill me! The moment you heard a few comments from them about me, you immediately changed your opinion regarding this matter and didn't ask me a thing. You're even arresting me right now. You're a huge disgrace to the force!""You bastard! Arrest him! Shoot if he retaliates!" Burt shouted.Two officers ran toward Wilbur, attempting to arrest him. Meanwhile, the other officers aimed their guns at Wilbur.A satisfied smirk appeared on Jonah's face, and his men began to laugh as well.See? Anyone who went against Jonah Jemson in Rivertune City was dead, regardless of whether they were truly in the wrong or not.However, Wilbur's foot swept out in a kick just then that immediately sent the two officers coming toward him tumbling over.The other officers had barely blinked when Wilbur sent
The sight of the cars seemed to give Jonah a boost of confidence as he immediately straightened up and rushed over to report the situation to the officers who had just arrived.Jonah and the rest of his posse were smiling. They were curious to see just how a bastard like Wilbur would hold up against all these officers.As Jonah reported the situation, up to a hundred Special Forces officers and police officers surrounded Wilbur's car. They were all armed, the barrels of their guns pointed at his car.The situation had blown up, and both the head and vice captains of the Special Forces, along with the head of the police department, had shown up.An officer having their gun taken from them by force was a big deal. All the superiors did not take such an offense lightly.Burt walked up to the head and vice captains of Special Forces, reporting everything that had just happened to them.Vice-captain Gordo Canne knew exactly what was going on. He had been the one to send Burt over when
Wasn't that the car Wilbur had been driving, the one that belonged to the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense?Ronan turned around. "Are you sure the perp's in this car right here?""That's the one, Captain. Look, all the guns he took are right next to it," Burt responded immediately.Gordo's expression was stern. "I think we should just let the officers storm him, Captain. This man was strong enough to take down several officers. He's extremely dangerous.""Yeah, Uncle Ronan, just shoot the guy! It's not worth you or anyone here getting hurt." Jonah smirked.Ronan was able to make out the face of the man smoking in the car right then.He could tell without a doubt that it was Wilbur. That meant that Ryder was probably in the backseat.These guys had messed with the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense. Were they out of their minds?After giving it some thought, Ronan turned to Jonah. "Jonah, tell me the truth. Do you have a personal grudge with the man in th
Ronan had honestly made the situation pretty clear.He had implied to Jonah that this man here was not to be messed with and the situation could still be salvaged as long as Jonah apologized.However, Jonah was too used to things going his way and did not get the hint at all.Jonah was quiet for a long while before fuming, "I don't care that you two know each other. If you don't arrest him today, you're going to get it."Ronan could not help but sigh. It looked like Jonah was still as dense as ever.Ronan turned to Jonah. "This man is from the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense. This matter is out of our hands. Do you understand?"Ronan had wanted to at least try and save Jonah, seeing as they were both from the same city.However, Jonah still could not take the hint and cried out, "I've never f*cking heard of such a department! You're dead if you protect this bastard, Ronan Black."The words made Ronan stop trying to help him altogether as he said, "I don't have the
