"You're right."Shania nodded heavily.Sean's expression looked much better now that he had cleared the misunderstanding.The singing and dance performances also began, and Central Square started becoming lively and joyful.Although the gala was prepared at short notice, the singing and dance performances on stage were good. At least most of the people were happy.Feeling the harmonious and lively atmosphere, Sean nodded with satisfaction."Mayor Lewis, I didn't think you'd try to soothe the crowd with a gala. It's a good idea."Quentin instantly smiled when he heard Sean's compliment."Hahaha, it's actually my daughter's idea. She suggested that I hold a gala.""I see."Sean nodded and glanced approvingly at Shania.Shania instantly felt embarrassed. Though Uriah nearby did not do anything, you could tell he looked slightly nervous.It seemed Uriah still had a crush on Shania and saw Sean as a love rival.However, Uriah also knew he was too far behind Sean in terms of str
Uriah was confused. He felt like he was listening to a complicated tongue twister."Let's just say that when you fought Killer X, every attack was a prediction." Sean stopped at this point, giving Uriah time to think.Uriah immediately nodded to show that he understood what he was saying.Every attack Uriah launched on Killer X was a prediction of Killer X's behavior. For example, when Uriah saw that Killer X was about to dodge, he attacked her first.However, Uriah never managed to hit Killer X with any of his attacks. Instead, he was repeatedly wounded, leaving him covered in cuts after the fight."Your anticipated attack failed to hit Killer X because she predicted what you predicted."Sean continued saying.When Uriah heard that, something instantly clicked."And that's what happened when Killer X attacked me. She predicted what I predicted, but I thought further ahead. I predicted what she predicted I would predict, so I knew what she would do and found an opening. And as
The beautiful reporter, Mary, and the cameraman were at the edge of the crowd.It was already the closest they could get to the big shots near the stage. Even so, they could not get any interview opportunities.Several security guards were watching the two of them not far away. If they harassed the high society members, they would be thrown out of the venue.That way, their interview mission would be a complete failure."D*mn it. How dare that stupid commander-in-chief reject my interview!"Mary said bitterly, her white teeth almost shattering from clenching."I told you so."The cameraman also looked shocked as he spoke helplessly."Am I not beautiful? Am I not young? Is my figure bad? Am I not attractive? But he didn't even look at me. It pisses me off!"Mary said and stomped.Fortunately, she wore high heels of good quality. Otherwise, her heels would have broken after that stomp."Save it."The cameraman sighed.Mary tiptoed to look at the table at the front and saw Se
"What do you think of the gala's performances today?"Shania asked suddenly."It's pretty good."Sean nodded."All that matters is that you enjoy it, Mr. Lennon."Shania said with a smile.Just then, Zander suddenly said, "Commander, look over there."Sean looked in the direction Zander told him to look and saw a female usher in a red gown coming this way with tea and drinks in her hand.Of course, a female usher was nothing to worry about.However, the problem was that the female usher was the beautiful reporter, Mary, who had been clamoring for an interview with him!Besides, Mary put the microphone on the tray she was holding without any concealment, which indicated her identity even more."This darn woman..."Sean could not help frowning."What happened?"Shania looked in confusion toward where Sean was looking, but she did not find anything wrong with the female usher after looking for a while."She's the female reporter who wanted to interview me earlier. I just do
The assassin was good—probably better than the female assassin before him.The few security guards present were no match for him. He defeated them one by one. They fell to the ground, and they had difficulty getting up.The male assassin rushed at Sean—as fast as lightning.The beautiful reporter Mary was terrified and on the verge of tears as she looked at the male assassin's savagery.The male assassin was now in front of Sean.Sean suddenly raised his left hand and struck into the air as if anticipating the assassin's attack.However, the male assassin made a ghostly sideslip that eluded Sean's attack.His prediction failed!Uriah's expression instantly changed as he watched.He was just asking what if the assassin was in level four and predicted what Sean predicted he would predict Sean to predict.His fears had come true so quickly!The male assassin was close at hand as he smiled sinisterly as if saying, "You're dead!"Just then, Sean's left hand that had missed earli
...It was late at night.The gala was over.The male assassin had also been arrested. However, it was unknown whether he died of poison like the female assassin or was being interrogated by the sheriff's department.The top floor of an apartment in an upscale neighborhood near downtown.There was a sudden banging on the door.Wesley frowned before walking to the door and opening it.No sooner had the door opened than several figures appeared outside.One was Alfie, Dorodo's biggest weapons dealer, and the other was Alfie's son, Lorenzo. Then it was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and crooked mouth and eyes.The middle-aged man’s face was full of hostility, and the look in his eyes was even terrifying.Wesley's expression instantly changed when he saw them."What are you doing here? Didn't we agree to only contact each other by phone and not meet directly?"However, Alfie had already strode into the room, followed by his son and the middle-aged man."My two companio
"Who is it?"Wesley shouted toward the door.Then a young man's voice rang outside the door. "We're here to check the water meter.""Checking the water meter in the middle of the night?"Wesley fumed, but he got up and walked over to open the door for the people outside anyway.The door opened with a thud, and countless city defense soldiers in military uniforms rushed in. Wesley was immediately grabbed by several city defense soldiers!Alfie and Lorenzo's expressions instantly turned ghastly at the sight of it.They quickly looked for a chance to escape, but the door was blocked. Where else could they run?They were on the top floor, at least 30 or 40 meters above the ground. They were incapable of jumping from mid-air and not dying!"D*mn it..."The middle-aged man cursed hoarsely before drawing a black dagger from his waist.Almost at the same time, rows of arrows were flying toward the middle-aged man. The cold gleams from the arrows made his scalp tingle.There was a t
The middle-aged man roared as if in a rage.The middle-aged man was the strongest assassin in Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment and was famous throughout Crosac.However, the young man was shameless!He had gone too far!"You're too arrogant. I will not only hurt you but also kill you myself!"The middle-aged man spoke harshly before jumping at Sean.The middle-aged man was so fast that his body seemed to cast a trail of shadows in the air. It was hard to capture his exact line of attack.Seeing this, city defense soldiers present secretly feared for Sean!However, as the attacker, Sean stood still with a faint smile as if he never took the assassin seriously!"There's an opening!"With a shout, the assassin stabbed at Sean in the right side of his neck with a black dagger.The black dagger was like a pitch-black serpent, biting Sean's neck with its scarlet tongue.However, Sean suddenly raised his right hand and grasped the black dagger!"You want to kill me when that'
