Amos tried to endure the pain of the bullet digging into the flesh of his back. He had no choice but to be thankful that the bullets he had equipped in his car were ordinary bullets with low-lethality instead of the expensive enhanced ones.

Although the ordinary bullets had torn his skin and muscles after being launched by the machine gun, they were not powerful enough to penetrate his powerful muscles and injure his internal organs.

Of course, if he were shot by more bullets, he wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer.

However, the attack of the rapid-fire was coming to an end, and he grabbed below. Edna’s lowly method of dodging made it impossible for her to escape his grasp.

At the instant that he grabbed Edna, he pulled her and placed her behind him before speeding off in another direction.

If the smart assistant of the car, Dora, was fully controlled by Edna, the rapid-fire machine gun would automatically come to a halt. That would also allow Amos to have a hostage in hand, which was enough to threaten Captain Feroman into letting him go.

Those were the best decisions Amos had ever made in a split second, but there would always be accidents. 

He moved too quickly, and Edna did not gain full control over the smart assistant Dora. She merely forcefully activated the automatic tracking attack function of the machine gun and set Amos as the target.

Hence, when Amos placed Edna behind him, the machine gun did not stop and instead continued to attack. 

Within a short period of time, tens of kinetic bullets struck Edna’s body. Even though she was also an armorer, she was of the lowest level among armorers. Even Amos was also unable to block the bombardment of so many kinetic bullets.

In an instant, Edna’s body was almost broken, and even Amos felt the bullet hit his back after penetrating through Edna’s body.

“Edna!” Captain Feroman’s eyes were bloodshot. Edna’s death triggered his urge to go insane. 

Electronic Warfare Division members who were also armorers were rare because the main enemies of armorers were the bugs. Hence, members of the Electronic Warfare Division usually did not have much of a place among regular armorers.

However, in mercenary corps, the electronic warfare masters were important for raiding starships. Without them, the mercenaries might not even be able to open the doors of their target starships properly, let alone the numerous defense systems on the ships.

In order to keep Edna, Captain Feroman resorted to every means he could and even went so far as to agree to get engaged to her, even though she was not pretty. He used his charm to make her stay.

However, all of his efforts were ruined by Amos. 

Captain Feroman’s eyes were filled with murderous intent and the power in his body erupted in an instant. The special-ops combat sword in his hand darted out as well. 

At the instant that the sword left his hand, Amos’s body quivered while he was trying to flee, after which he fell to the ground.

The special-ops combat sword pierced Amos’ right knee. It then collapsed into shattered pieces as it pierced into solid bone.

That caused his right knee to be almost covered densely with debris that was mixed with the broken bone of his right knee, making him feel excruciating pain. 

At this moment, Amos tossed Edna’s corpse aside and hugged his right knee while wailing continuously. 

The machine gun on the car had also launched all the bullets at him continuously with crackling sounds. 

Holding the Level 1 sword with one hand, Feroman strode towards Amos and revealed a cunning smile. 

“Since you had the audacity to kill Edna, pay for it with your life!” Feroman exclaimed with extreme infuriation. While speaking, he slammed his Level 1 Warhammer against Amos’ arm. 

The terrifying power of the Level 1 Warhammer was reflected in Amos’ body. Every strike of the warhammer launched by Captain Feroman crushed the flesh and bone of Amos’ arm brutally.

Amos’s eyes were filled with fear and plea, but those emotions that he revealed could not move Captain Feroman who continued to hit Amos’s arms with the Level 1 Warhammer, followed by his legs. 

In just twenty seconds, Amos felt like he would be better off dead. He just wanted to die as soon as possible, instead of being trampled on and ravaged in such a manner.

If there was enough time, Captain Feroman would have wanted to torture Amos for longer, but he knew that the police would arrive anytime soon, and he had run out of time.

“Die!” He pounded Amos’ head with the Level 1 Warhammer, and right before it landed on his head, there was a look of relief in Amos’ eyes.

“Clark, have you found the target?” Captain Feroman asked via the identity bracelet after glancing at Edna once more with a sympathetic gaze. In the next moment, he didn’t bother with her anymore.

“Captain, there’s no one in this building, we’ve looked everywhere!” Crocker exclaimed in a calm voice. 

“We’ve run out of time, evacuate immediately!” Captain Feroman looked at the time and decided to give out a decisive order because he knew that there was no chance today.

There were still 30 minutes until the next location of the T3 Sniper Assist Device would be sent. He simply didn’t have that much time to wait.

“Yes, Captain!” Clark responded, still sounding composed. He then brought Ed and Fessier out of the building. 

“Did something happen to Edna?” Ed asked, surprised to see Edna’s mutilated corpse.

At this very moment, the police patrol hovercar flew in from the distant sky with its lights flashing. The few mercenaries did not have time to say anything more as Ed picked up Edna’s body and quickly evacuated the scene.

David, who was cowering and staying all huddled up in the corner of the underground gym, heaved a sigh of relief. One of the mercenaries was less than a centimeter away from him just now and would have touched him if he had stretched.

The reason that the mercenaries did not find him, even with their life sensors, was because of the Shadow Servant.

As soon as he discovered that someone had infiltrated Emma’s system, the robot butler of the residence, David took control of the Shadow Servant and made it cross the surface to stealthily look outside the door.

In the end, he saw that the security system which he had considered to be extremely powerful, was completely useless, while the thick steel alloy door was easily broken open by the enemy.

All of that gave him his first glimpse of the horrors of this world, as the intruders completely ignored the security system which he thought would keep his residence safe.

When David saw that three of the five mercenaries had entered the residence while two remained outside, he knew it would be impossible to escape from it today.

The other party’s actions were extremely professional, from the blocking of the Skynet signal to the breaking of the security system, followed by the slicing of the steel alloy door.

At the same time, apart from the woman with the strange device in her hand, the other party had also deployed cold weapons, which made him even more frightened.

In his memories, those with weapons in their hands were not the most terrifying because only armorers would discard hot weapons and opt for cold ones. 

From that point on, it was unrealistic for him to resist.

The only option he had was to hide, and he soon thought of the Shadow Servant’s stealth ability.

He did not know if Shadow Servant would be able to hide him with him, but he had no other choice.

Therefore, when the three mercenaries entered his residence, he retracted the Shadow Servant and found a corner in the underground gym to hide in. He shrunk his body as much as possible in order to reduce the amount of space he occupied.

The Shadow Servant’s body size was almost the same as that of David. David could only make the Shadow Servant hide him completely by reducing his body size.

Fortunately, David had been practicing the eighteen movements of Bodywork, which allowed him to be flexible enough to bend each joint to a tremendous extent, so much that he could bend his body into a cube in the corner.

He then connected himself to the Shadow Servant and controlled the Shadow Servant to make it wrap his body with itself. Although he had developed that idea, he didn’t know if the Shadow Servant would be able to completely envelop him, given his body size.

Under his control, the Shadow Servant flew to his body, followed by an unexpected change. The Shadow Servant’s body began to morph from its humanoid form into a fluid that covered the exterior of David’s body.

Even the part of his body that was in contact with the ground was covered by the Shadow Servant, which passed through the ground to maintain full coverage of David.

The three mercenaries searched quickly, and they managed to discover the entrance to the basement in a short while. It was probably because they had done such things too often. 

Through the Shadow Servant’s eyes, David watched as the mercenary continuously scanned and searched the underground gym with the device in his hands, even though the decor of the underground gym was very simple. Despite being able to see everything clearly at a glance, he nonetheless conducted the search according to the strictest standards.

That mercenary was Clark. The device on his hand informed him that there were no traces of life detected there. However, just half an hour ago the positioning system showed that the location of the T3 Sniper Assist Device was right there. Yet, he did not manage to find it either.
