‘Jin’ was completely stunned as he stared at the scene in front of him.
‘Cuffs of Binding’…
Broken.
One of the classic symbols of "Uptown", the "shackles of bondage", was broken.
He struggled many times, but the 'shackles of restraint' that he couldn't break free just shattered.
That crisp sound.
It was like a mocking laugh.
It kept echoing in ‘Jin’s’ ears.
He stared blankly at the tongue sticking out of Jason's still-cracked mouth. He swallowed all the fragments of the 'Cuffs of Binding' in one lick.
Involuntarily, the corners of 'Jin's' mouth began to turn up.
Then
"Hahahahaha!"
‘Jin’ laughed loudly.
The kind that makes you laugh so much that tears flow from your eyes.
If Jason hadn't been holding it in his hands, he would have laughed so hard.
Jason paid no more attention to the laughing 'Jin'.
He swallowed the 'Cuffs of Bondage' that tasted like chocolate, and glanced at the words rising in front of him.
【Swallowing Shackles】
[Excessive recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Satiety +300]
【Satiety: 30314】
[Excitement of eating +1]
【The excitement of eating:593】
…
Then, the flames rose.
Isn't Jason curious?
curious.
He also wanted to know why 'Jin' was laughing.
But he knew even more that the other party was an enemy.
When you can kill the enemy more smoothly, don't add unnecessary complications.
With such a simple mind, Jason suppressed his curiosity very well.
Under [Charles Burning Technique], 'gold' turns into a torch.
scorching hot.
Burn.
But even so, 'Jin' still laughed wildly in the flames.
He even raised his hands and covered his eyes.
"We met too late!"
"Too late!"
"It's too late, you know?"
The sound of 'gold' echoed in the alley, and his body was swallowed up by the fire.
die?
Maybe.
Jason frowned as he looked at the charred corpse standing there.
With a thought in his mind, a silver slash followed.
【Destroying Evil】!
The habit of last-hitting is one of Jason's best habits in his mind.
Go to bed early and get up early.
puff!
The charred corpse was split into two, and then fell to the ground.
Jason's brows furrowed even more.
He instinctively felt that 'Jin' was not dead.
As a person on the 'mysterious side', Jason is extremely trusting of his intuition.
Jason is about to go to 'Kim'.
But as soon as he lifted his feet, Jason stopped and his head turned slightly to one side.
Behind Jason, a figure stood there.
No white suits.
However, clean and decent clothes and an equally clean and decent face are enough to explain where the other person comes from.
‘Uptown’.
There is a groove on the other side's face, his youth is long gone, but his eyes are extremely bright.
And, sharp.
It's as bright as a light bulb.
Sharp as a sword.
When Jason was looked at by the other person, his skin felt like it was pricked by needles.
Very awkward.
Very uncomfortable.
What's even more awkward is the way the other party appears.
Jason didn't realize when the other party appeared.
After eating [Kaldman's Key], his perception has reached a level of 18.2.
However, with a perception that is 18 times greater than that of ordinary people, it is still impossible to detect the other party's appearance.
If the other party hadn't actively leaked part of his aura, Jason wouldn't even have noticed that the other party was standing there.
Suddenly, Jason's vigilance reached its highest point.
From the moment he left Tell Street, Jason knew that he would encounter a situation beyond his control.
Therefore, he has always been extremely careful.
He hopes that this time will be delayed slightly.
It gives him more time to cope.
However, he didn't expect that, assuming he was careful enough, it would only last three days.
Seeing Jason's alert look, the middle-aged man in front of him smiled.
"You probably don't know who I am."
"But, I think I need to introduce myself."
"After all, I don't like to use force."
"If you can choose to cooperate after hearing my introduction, I think it is a very suitable solution."
The other party said politely.
But the words were filled with an omnipresent pride.
as well as……
A touch of charity.
It's like giving alms when some big shot sees a stray dog on the roadside and can't help but throw away the buns he doesn't want to eat.
There is no compassion.
That's where the dog happens to be.
He happened to have a bun in his hand that he didn't want to eat.
Then, he threw it to the dog.
"I am Yao."
"One of the twelve members of the 'Uptown District'."
"Newcomer."
The middle-aged man in front of me said.
Jason squinted his eyes and stared at the other person.
He had never heard of this name at all.
But he knew about the congressman from the "Uptown District".
‘Big shot’!
If 'Jin' is the 'big shot' in Lower City District, then this 'Yao' is the 'big shot' in 'Shangcheng District'.
Councilors are the decision-makers of ‘uptown’.
The operation of 'Uptown', including the entire 'City that Never Sleeps', is closely related to their decisions.
The ‘old man’ once gave a general introduction.
It’s not that I don’t want to introduce it in detail.
But the 'old man' himself doesn't know the details.
In fact, the 'old man' didn't even know how many council members there were in the 'Uptown District'.
Are there as many as twelve with similar strength?
Jason's eyes almost narrowed into slits.
There was a cold glint in his eyes.
The 'Yao' in front of him had already raised Jason's vigilance to the highest level.
But there are still as many as twelve such people.
Jason has always had some speculations about 'Uptown'.
However, those 'law enforcement teams' made Jason's guess somewhat biased.
It wasn't until the appearance of 'Yao' that Jason suddenly woke up.
‘Uptown’ was stronger than he imagined.
and……
Are MPs the strongest?
Isn't there a more powerful being above the MPs?
Jason didn't know.
At this moment, Jason didn't think much about it.
Because, the ‘Yao’ in front of me has stopped smiling.
"Tsk, really it doesn't work?"
"Whether you are in the 'Upper City' or the 'Lower City', do you have to show force?"
"It's really troublesome."
"Originally, I hoped that you would be aware of current affairs and save me some trouble. Now..."
"We still have to take action."
‘Yao’ frowned.
The next moment, the congressman disappeared from where he was.
When he appeared again, he was already standing in front of Jason, raising his hand to hit Jason in the lower abdomen.
It's not aimed at the neck or anything like that.
Because, Jason is more than a head taller than the other person.
If both sides were the same height, Jason could imagine that the congressman would aim at his neck.
A quick and easy move to resolve the battle.
And now?
Naturally, I hit him on the abdomen first, making him bend over due to pain, and then exposed his neck.
Jason can't read minds.
But the other person's gaze was too obvious.
It was as if he was telling Jason that he was going to do this.
In fact, the other party then spoke
"I will hit you in the abdomen and then knock you out."
Bang!
With these words, the other party punched Jason in the abdomen.
There was a muffled sound.
Jason frowned slightly and took two steps back.
The member named ‘Yao’ had surprise in his eyes for the first time.
Then, he nodded as if in admiration.
"Very strong defense."
"You can actually take my punch."
"I'm afraid you will be unscathed in the explosion."
"I changed my mind."
The other party seemed to have thought of something and said suddenly.
"It's such a waste for a person like you to be executed in public. I'll give you a chance. Join me and I'll find someone to replace you. When your substitute dies, how about you appear next to me in a new disguise?"
"
Faced with such a proposal, Jason said nothing.
He stared at each other with both eyes.
He didn't react at all to the punch just now.
Whether it's perception or body.
When he felt pain in his lower abdomen, he realized that he had been punched.
speed?
Skill?
Jason adjusted his breathing and calmed down quickly.
All along, most of the enemies Jason faced were huge monsters.
To deal with this kind of monster with huge power and size but not enough dexterity, Jason relied on his 'talent' and unique fighting method to take advantage of it.
But when he faced the same size, and the speed exceeded his reaction.
Especially when there are enemies with special skills, you will be in trouble.
Jason knew this very well.
Therefore, he simulated similar battles in his mind more than once.
Can……
Those fighting methods are not suitable for the ‘Yao’ in front of you.
Because the opponent's speed is really too fast.
Bang bang bang!
Amidst a series of muffled sounds, Jason had already retreated from one side of the alley to the other.
The pain spreads.
Jason gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting.
He has already surpassed the 'fighter level' defense and resisted the fist of 'Yao'.
But such resistance is not completely offset.
Jason still felt the pain.
Moreover, this kind of pain has already gone beyond an ordinary blow.
Every punch seemed to break him to pieces.
No!
It hurts more than having your body broken into pieces.
Because, the pain of being shattered to pieces, Jason tried it.
But the pain in front of me was the kind that penetrated into the bones and internal organs.
even,
There was a trance in front of his eyes.
It's not a trance where the body is pressed to its limit.
But the spirit is stretched.
His whole body seemed to be pulled into something.
Illusion!
Jason stood there motionless, his eyes losing their luster.
‘Yao’ shook his head and ignored Jason.
Under his illusion, it was impossible for Jason to resist.
Although the physical defense is excellent, what about the mental resistance?
It's more than a step behind.
With this judgment, he turned and walked towards the charred corpse on the ground.
After looking at it carefully, he raised his hand.
An emerald green light shines.
Immediately, the charred corpses on the ground returned to their original appearance.
‘Gold’ came to life.
Or to be more precise, he woke up from suspended animation.
When he opened his eyes and saw 'Yao', he raised his hand and hit himself on the head.
