"Again?"Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled again. Their breathing grew tense. Jennifer, especially, was anxious and on edge. Just one bullet was terrifying enough for her. If this continued, Frederick's chances of dying would only increase. And if Frederick died, these thugs surely wouldn’t spare them!Despite that, Frederick remained calm and composed. After Blade added another bullet, he slowly raised the gun. But suddenly, he lowered it again.Seeing this, the Bloodfang Order members chuckled arrogantly. "Haha! Scared? Have you chickened out? Are you thinking of surrendering?""If you can't handle it, you can surrender. I'll be kind and leave your corpse intact. But everyone else here still dies!" Blade teased. Frederick smiled. "Sorry, I just find this game boring. I'm planning to change the rules a bit."The next moment, he put the gun barrel into his own mouth. And then, he pulled the trigger.Instantly, the whole scene seemed to freeze in time. Everyone w

What a shock!Everyone couldn't believe their eyes—Blade had actually wet himself!The members of the Bloodfang Order were dumbfounded, and their mouths fell open.Blade was drenched in cold sweat, unable to pull the trigger. He was afraid of dying!"Hahaha!"In an instant, a hearty, mocking laughter filled the entire scene. It was Frederick, laughing uproariously.Everyone was stunned. How could he dare to openly ridicule Blade in front of everyone? Blade was a ruthless killer! Did Frederick not care about living anymore? Even though Blade had been scared enough to wet himself, no one dared to be so reckless!"Do you know why you can't pull the trigger?"After he was done laughing, Frederick said, "Because you've grown old! Your ambition is gone. When you were young, you relied on courage to roam the world. You even dared to bet your life with a revolver. That's why you were victorious time and again! But now, you're just a plucked chicken! You're a coward that's worse tha

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Now, can you all please leave?" Frederick said calmly.His words were like adding fuel to the fire. The law enforcement team erupted like a volcano, their anger boiling over."So arrogant!""He's clearly just scavenging, and yet talks as if he's righteous! How shameless!""If you've got guts, come and fight us one-on-one!"They were so furious, they wanted to pin Frederick down and beat him senseless.However, Willa dropped a bombshell. "Everyone, retreat."Everyone froze, stunned into silence. "Captain Zephyr, did we hear you correctly?"Within the law enforcement team, Willa was known for her short temper. Normally, Frederick's provocative words should have triggered her wrath instantly. Strangely, she remained unusually calm.This was highly unusual!She continued impassively, "Because you can't beat him.""Captain Zephyr, are you kidding? We're not just anyone! As members of the city's law enforcement, we're either Krav Maga

Jennifer felt her heart ache for George. She had tried several times to help him become a permanent employee with a raise, only to be politely refused each time. George was a principled man. Once an agreement was made, he stuck to it. All he wanted was a stable job at Prospera Corporation."You bastard!" One of the men ignored Jennifer and slapped George across the face, sending him sprawling to the ground. Blood immediately trickled from his mouth.Jennifer's anger flared instantly. "Gentlemen, this is a workplace! How can you resort to violence?""Ms. York, don't you know the saying that a dog's behavior depends on its owner? Your dog bit us, so it's your responsibility as the owner!" The men sneered sinisterly. "We had a good impression of you before. But now, with this incident, it's hard to trust Prospera Corporation. We'll report this matter truthfully to the new chief!"Jennifer hurriedly interjected, "Please calm down, gentlemen! I spoke out of turn and said some harsh wo

On the first floor of Prospera Corporation, Jennifer bid farewell to the Public Works Department representatives."Ms. York, apart from the unpleasantness earlier, we're quite satisfied with your company," one of them said with a smirk, twirling the emerald cross in his hand.To Jennifer, their hideous grins were uglier than devils from hell. They were nothing but robbers pretending to be gentlemen, which made her sick to her stomach. Forcing herself to smile, she said, "I'm counting on you, then.""Won't be a problem at all!"Just as they finished speaking, the entire building plunged into darkness."A power outage? How is that possible?""Did someone trip the circuit breaker? Quick, check the control room!"Panic spread throughout the company. Jennifer raised her voice to calm them. "Everyone, stay calm. It's just a minor glitch. We'll resolve it soon."However, screams suddenly erupted from the group."Who is it?""Someone slapped me! Who was that bastard?! I'll kill h
