Unbeknownst to Duke, Dominique's men were surveilling his house, waiting for Brad and his friends to provide feedback on the pill. They had planted a tracker on the group, ensuring they wouldn't escape once they retrieved the valuable item.
After seeing Duke enter his house, the men hoped for a successful outcome, expecting to finally get their hands on the pill. However, their tracker suddenly vanished, leaving them baffled and concerned. How did it disappear? They had secured it in a place the boys couldn't access, and now it was gone, as if it had never been there.
Suspecting something had gone terribly wrong or that Duke had somehow disabled the tracker, the men decided to take matters into their own hands. More than ten armed men emerged from their cars, approaching Duke's house with menacing intentions. Operating under the Tierany system, they avoided using their Tier abilities, opting for a more mundane approach: brute force since they believed he wasn't like them.
One of them kicked open Duke's door, startling him and causing the money he had been tossing in the air to scatter across the ground. The men gazed in disbelief at the scattered cash, their eyes widening in shock. That was money they had earned over a year or more, and Duke was spraying it around like it was mere chicken change.
The men's temptation to claim the money for themselves was palpable, but they knew they had to prioritize dealing with Duke first. They stormed into his house, their weapons at the ready, prepared to use force to get what they wanted.
Duke raised his hands mid-air in a gesture of surrender, but his mind was racing.
Just then his system dings, announcing a new Special Order.
*Special order- Eliminate the Bandits*
*Time- 20 Minutes *
"Give us the pill!" one of the men yelled.
As Duke tried to think of a way out, an idea struck him. He quickly accessed the shop list and purchased the Double Barrel Gun, counting down the seconds until it would arrive. Exactly ten seconds later, the gun materialized in his raised hands.
*Double Barrel Gun~ Successfully purchased*
With the men momentarily stunned, Duke seized the opportunity. He swiftly rolled onto the ground, using the momentum to aim the gun at the first two men standing in front of him. As he rolled, he exclaimed, "Here!" and fired both barrels, shooting the men with precision. The shots rang out, and the men crumpled to the ground. The sudden turn of events left the remaining men reeling in shock giving him a temporary advantage.

Duke seized his temporary advantage and swiftly kicked his bunk bed with newfound strength, pushing against the men who had lunged forward. He shot them in the forehead, taking two more down. Satisfied, he pushed against the bodies, and they landed on the ground.
Duke then swiftly dodged an oncoming object with his Viewpoint skill. It was his new television, which he had yet to turn on. He turned in anger to the man who had thrown it in his direction, but got hit with another object, making him fall to the ground.
The man crouched down and tried hitting him again, but Duke shot him in the grin, his brains splattering around. Duke used the body to duck several gunshots from the others. When they ran out of bullets, he muttered a quick sorry to the dead man before tossing his body aside and resumed shooting the men who tried to use more objects to take him down.
Six down, four more to go. His system kept singing, earning more points as he fought for his life. Duke took down another attacker, the man's weapon flying from his hand as he crashed to the floor. The next man fell, his body jerking backward as the buckshot tore into him.
Duke shot another man who had gained on him from the side, stabbing Duke on his arm repeatedly. Duke momentarily lost his balance as he tried to push the body away, dropping one of his guns.
The remaining man seized the opportunity to pick it up, pointing it at Duke and making him raise his hands again in surrender.
"Where's the fucking pill?" He yelled as he breathed heavily.
"I don't know." Duke shrugged out an answer, even with his battered form.
"How did you get your hands on the gun- how did you earn that money?"He questioned, pointing to the scattered cash on the ground. "Talk goddamit!" He thundered in exasperation when Duke said nothing.
But Duke simply gave him the same response and a nonchalant shrug.
Out of annoyance over Duke's character, the man tried to shoot Duke with the gun, but no bullets came out. He tried repeatedly but nothing came out.
"I'll just kill you with my knife." He threw the gun at Duke, aiming for his head as he brought out his dagger and launched at Duke.
Duke swiftly grabbed the gun and shot the man right on his head three times. He sighed, reeling in the CONGRATULATIONS he got from his system.
As he caught his breath, Duke realized that he had taken down ten men in total, his system rewarding him with points and accolades. He leaned against the wall, his adrenaline slowly dissipating, and his focus returning.
The bodies started to disappear one after the other.
The room was quiet now, the only sound the heavy breathing of Duke, his chest heaving with exertion.
How much money did we make? He asked his system and the 3d girl appeared to give him all the information.
