A few days passed, and havoc still mercilessly reigned in different parts of the country.
Over to a police station, screams and shooting could be heard. Civilians were scared for their lives as they kept far from the station.
"AAHHH!! WHY CAN'T WE KILL THIS ONE GUY!" A police officer frustratingly asked as he was shooting his firearm. However, he could not do much as a bullet pierced his shoulder and arms, wounding him.
There were many officers wounded and one or two dead on the ground, and there was no furniture in sight. Nathan, who was wearing his hoodie and mask, walked out and entered a car.
I'm getting much better at fighting a lot of enemies at once. I'm increasing my understanding of my powers more and more and I don't need to be as cautious because law enforcement is very occupied with the others by now.
Just as Nathan assumed, over to Jack, he was indiscriminately murdering numerous civilians in the area he was in. At the same time, he was running from military vehicles chasing him.
Haha! You buggers are such fools! Why don't you get your super soldiers if you don't want more people to die!?
It was a pathetic display by the military in attempting to stop Jack from killing civilians as he ran by. The civilians also were pathetic, as they could do nothing more than cower in fear as he mercilessly murdered them.
I love the look of fear in these buggers' faces! If I had more time, I could break them by torturing them...I can't wait to get rid of the country's defense so I can have all these prey to myself!
They fired at Jack, disregarding civilians, and ended up grazing his sleeve, tearing it.
Wow, good job! That was kinda close! That won't be happening again though!
"Damn it! Why can't we get any more reinforcements!" A soldier in one of the vehicles asked.
"Everyone's occupied all over the country!" The soldier driving the vehicle answered. "In case you forgot, there are five S-Class criminals on the loose now!"
"Then why doesn't the military let the super soldiers on them!?"
"Because they'll end up destroying everything! It will take multiple super soldiers, so something as destructive as that is a last resort."
"Damn it...the state's gonna wait until everything goes to shit..."
At the same time, Charles was alone in an alleyway. He seemed to be eating some meat.
Sigh, this meat that the NPC gave me is good, but this would be even better with a good fight. I'm the only one that hasn't gotten anything good. I know we'll eventually fight super soldiers, but I'm bored out of my mind right now. Can't something just come to entertain me for a bit?
Just as he said multiple military vehicles blocked the entrance of the alleyway, and many soldiers got out.
"Huh?" Charles said with curiosity.
"S-Class criminal Charles Warner. You and Jack don't like hiding when you're wanted." A soldier said. "Well, you are S-Class so we can kill you on sight if you don't immediately surrender."
Charles quickly got excited.
Haha! These guys may not be super soldiers, but it's better than nothing. They even have powerful firearms, too, so if I hold back, I can make this fun!"
"Judging by that battle-crazed smile, I suppose you won't surrender. That's fine."
Just as the soldier said, another aimed an RPG at Charles.
"Wow!" Charles exclaimed with a look of excitement." The soldier fired the rocket, and Charles didn't move. The soldiers put their hands with their firearms in front of their faces in advance. It impacted and exploded on his body.
Smoke filled the alleyway after the explosion.
"Wow, guys! I didn't expect you to shoot a rocket launcher in a passageway between buildings!" Charles excitedly said as he walked out of the smoke. His cargo pants were tattered, and burns were on his body.
"Of course, that bastard ate it." The soldier said. "There's no point in worrying about buildings if it means that we'll get rid of you!"
"HAHA! I LOVE CRAZY GUYS LIKE YOU!"
"Fire!" The soldier ordered, and they all obeyed. Charles got pelted by several bullets. The strength of the bullets when they hit him surprised Charles.
Armor Piercing Rounds?
"Not bad! You guys prepared yourselves!" Charles complimented before running at them while getting shot. He wasn't moving fast, however.
"My turn!" Charles said as he balled his fist to attack, but when he got close, the soldier who told him to surrender aimed a shotgun at his chest and blasted him. It sent him back a few feet. He didn't take his feet off the ground as he got knocked back, so his feet left a trail.
"Ooh, I felt that!" Charles said. He had a discoloration on his chest, where he got shot.
"Don't let up, guys! Keep firing!" The soldier ordered as they quickly reloaded their firearms and fired.
Their weapons are strong enough and have enough piercing to damage me with each bullet. Plus, they didn't get scared when I started to run at them. What an amazing performance by people who aren't even super soldiers!
"You guys likely can't hear me because of the shooting, but I thank you for this. I was so bored waiting for super soldiers to finally be sent out, so I'm super glad for this. I'll gift you with this." Charles said. His muscles and abs got more toned and noticeable on his body.
"Physical Enhancement - Adrenaline Doping!"
Charles dashed at the group of soldiers, much faster than before. The soldier tried to raise his shotgun but was immediately met with a clothesline by Charles. He threw him so hard with the clothesline.
It was so strong that it rocketed the soldier into one of their vehicles, sending it a few feet back, busting his head on impact, and instantly killing him. It had also generated enough air pressure to blow the surrounding soldiers away.
Charles didn't let up and attacked every one of them with his punches. They tried to fire at him, but the bullets did no damage. A soldier even got hold of the shotgun that the previous soldier had as Charles was killing his comrades and fired. Charles didn't flinch whatsoever from the shotgun shells.
"Sorry, that won't work anymore. You guys were very entertaining, though!" Charles said before appearing in front of that soldier, grabbed his head, and bashed it on the alleyway wall, busting his head open. He finally finished up the remaining soldiers.
"Well done guys. I hope you're happy I killed you guys for giving me a good fight." He said before walking off, his muscles going back to normal.

At the warehouse, Olivia and Ada were engaging. Olivia seemed to have numerous glass bottles on a table, filled with a purple substance.
"Good job, Olivia," Ada said. "This amount of poison will make a difference for them for a good while."
Olivia didn't respond. She seemed to have a tired expression. Olivia took her phone out and dialed a number. After several rings, the line on the other end connected.
"Hello?" A voice that was none other than Leon answered.
"Hey Leon, we have the batch of poison ready," Ada responded. "When do you want to meet up?"
