Edwin
pulled the trigger, sending a bullet in Gloria's direction. At the life–
or–death moment, the bulky Cougar positioned himself
to shield her, arms crossed over his chest in a protective stance. At the
same time, two heavy metal rings slid out of his sleeve.
The sound of metal clanking was accompanied by flying sparks as the bulle
t was sent flying astray after it came into contact with the metal rings.
Cougar sneered as he stood in front of Gloria like a mountain. He clearl
y did not fear Edwin.
Bullets from an average pistol were not a threat when he was at the heigh
t of internal energy cultivation, thanks to his speedy response in compar
ison
to that of an average shooter. He could either dodge the bullet or stop i
t with his weapons. It was impossible to hurt him as long as it wasn't an
ambush from the back, and that was the power of a trained martial artist
!
"D–
did he stop the bullet?" Florence was shocked once more. At that point, t
hey wondered if Cougar was even human for blocking both the fruit knife a
ttack and the gunshot.
"Do you think you're invincible with that pistol? You bumpkin!" Gloria re
covered from the initial scare and collected herself. With
Tarragon and Cougar beside her, no one could hurt her.
"How dare you
shoot at my grandma? You're asking for death! Cougar, I want him crippled
!" Dakota gave out the orders.
"Roger that!" Cougar cackled and launched himself into the air by jumping
lightly. He sailed across like an arrow from a bow as crushed the tiles
underneath his feet, and he barreled toward Edwin at a frightening speed.
"That's just a minor trick!" A short guy in a cap, who was standing behin
d Edwin, suddenly made his move and charged at Cougar. The two collided a
nd set off an explosion. As the dust cleared, everyone could see that the
short guy caught Cougar's fists in his hand. The impact of the collision
had shattered the tiles underneath their feet into pieces.
Cougar's eyes wavered
with shock as he grunted. He never thought that someone would have the po
wer to stop his punch.
"Boss, he doesn't look like our target today." The short guy held his cap
with one hand to prevent it
from blowing it away. At the same time, he cast a cool look at Edwin. "If
you want him killed, you need to top up."
"50 million for each person," Edwin replied, unperturbed.
"Haha! No problem!" The short guy grinned in excitement.
"You're asking for death!" Feeling belittled, Cougar was infuriated and l
ashed out with a punch. The punch was so heavy that it could break metal.
"You don't know your limits." The short guy shook his head and suddenly l
urched at Cougar. He dodged the punch and hit Cougar hard in the abdomen.
A dull thud was heard. Cougar's abdomen, which had withstood the fruit kn
ife stab, had a hole in it. The fist of the short guy penetrated through
Cougar's flesh and emerged from the back. The scene was a horrifying, blo
ody mess.
Cougar froze up and stared at the fist that pierced through his abdomen i
n disbelief. Never in his wildest dream had he imagined that someone woul
d put a fist through the steely body that he trained and built for years.
"How is that possible?" Gloria and the rest were terrified and shocked, e
specially knowing that Cougar was powerful enough to take down a hundred
men. He could even defend himself against guns with ease. To their dismay
and bewilderment, Cougar was taken down by a martial arts expert in one
move.
"50 million pocketed."
