Once, I wanted to be a good person

With the guidance of the Marking Spear, Fang Ze's speed in searching for his target with Void Eye was extremely fast.

In just over a minute, Fang Ze once again spotted the woman in the leather jacket.

She was riding a huge motorcycle, swiftly weaving through the city's buildings. She twisted and turned as if to evade tracking and finally stopped in a small alley.

Seeing the alley, she looked around left and right, confirmed that no one was there, stopped her bike, took off her helmet, and then simply leaned against the motorcycle and sat down on the ground.

After sitting, she took out a massive handgun, played with it a bit, and then pulled down the magazine.

The magazine contained only two chambers.

She took a wedge-shaped bullet from her tight leather pants, loaded it, and closed the magazine. Then, she looked up at the sky and began to wait again.

Fang Ze had no idea what she was waiting for, so he just continued to wait patiently, observing, trying to see through her intentions and gather more intelligence about her.

Like this, the two of them maintained a "distant standoff" for about two to three hours.

Meanwhile, Fang Ze even took some time off to have dinner and phoned Bai Ling to borrow some defensive artifacts from her.

Bai Ling indeed was a wealthy lady.

Hearing Fang Ze's request, she began to pack up and soon "clattered" over, handing Fang Ze a bag full of defensive artifacts.

Perhaps because Fang Ze had a good reputation. The bag was filled with 10 defensive artifacts.

Though they were just basic items, capable at most of withstanding a blow from an intermediate Awakener due to their automatic triggering mechanism, they could at least be used for protection in the meantime.

Therefore, Fang Ze did not hesitate to accept them and strung them together, placing them close to his body.

After that, without even discussing interests, he sent Bai Ling out of his house.

Watching Bai Ling leave with puffiness in her vigor, Fang Ze returned inside his house, sorting through his current resources and tools he could use.

After confirming his combat capabilities and getting ready, Fang Ze once again started to check on the movements of the woman in the leather jacket.

Possibly because the night had grown darker and the streets had become less populated, after sitting still for four to five hours, the leather-jacket woman finally made a move.

She stood up, stretched her long legs, held her helmet, and climbed back on the huge motorcycle, then started it again, heading towards... Fang Ze's home.

Fang Ze saw this and couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

He had been curious what this woman had been waiting for!

It turned out she was waiting for darkness to fall! To come and assassinate him!

Indeed, she was here on a suicide mission!

Thinking this, Fang Ze chuckled, then double-checked his fully prepared equipment, and picked up the shrunk One Two Three, leaving the apartment.

Downstairs, Fang Ze examined the surroundings.

Possibly because it was already late at night, there were very few people around. It was perfect for concealment and ambush.

And even if there were a fight, it wouldn't cause accidental injuries, and as long as it was brief, it probably wouldn't attract the Security Bureau.

With this in mind, Fang Ze observed the terrain and then quietly hid in the tall ornamental bushes by the roadside, patiently beginning his wait.

Like this, he continued to wait for another hour. Through the perspective of Void Eye, he watched the leather-jacket woman circling around the vicinity of Fang Ze's neighborhood, seemingly waiting for the right time and opportunity.

By 11 PM, her roaming circle began to shrink, one round, two rounds, three rounds... Finally, she stopped on the roadside of the apartment where Fang Ze lived.

Straddling the motorcycle, she surveyed her surroundings, ensuring there was no danger. Then the woman in the leather jacket got off the bike, hand resting on the enormous handgun at her waist, and started heading towards Fang Ze's apartment!

She had been extremely cautious, but just as one of her feet touched the curb of the street. The unexpected happened!

As her foot touched the step, suddenly, she felt a surge of the Power of Laws explode from the bushes about seven or eight meters to her left!

Immediately after, her vision blurred, and she was suddenly joined by a large man's figure by her side!

Years of life and death struggle made her yell out, then reflexively jump back!

However, something miraculous happened; despite her retreat, it had no effect, as the man, ghostlike, merely stepped forward and was beside her again.

She stepped back, and he followed!

Eventually, she ran out of strength and couldn't dodge anymore!

She looked a bit desperate at the man close at hand and thought mournfully: What is this situation! Why can this person move so fast! Is it some special artifact!

But how expensive must such an artifact be! To use it three times consecutively on her!

While she was thinking this, the man wasn't idle; he clenched his fist, and above it there was the terrifying sound of "rumbling" thunder and a shrill "buzzing" noise!

Then he heavily slammed her on the chest!

With a "boom," the woman felt an irresistible force strike her!

She was thrown back like a rag doll!

Luckily, her Spirit Attached leather jacket absorbed some of the damage from that terrifying punch, lessening the severity of her injuries!

But it was useless!

Possibly sensing that she was not severely injured, the man once again moved swiftly, and delivered another punch, striking her chest again!
