Chapter 16

Jacob stepped on the emergency brake when he noticed a car parked horizontally, blocking his way.He answered the phone call calmly, “What’s the matter?” “Boss.” Jerry’s voice sounded on the phone. “Ijust received news that Paramount Police Bureau’s Ministry of Defense is targeting you. Please wait amoment.” A few seconds later, Jerry continued, “Boss, has someone from the Ministry of Defensecome to see you?” Jacob looked at ‘Ministry of Defense’ written on the car before him and nodded.“Yes.” Then, he glanced into the rearview mirror and saw a black and white car blocking his path ofretreat. “Do you want me to deal with them?” Jerry asked. “No.” Jacob arched an eyebrow and endedthe call. A burly man stepped out of the Ministry of Defense’s car fully armed. He looked alert as hecame to Jacob’s car and shouted, “Put your hands where I can see!” Jacob sensed at least three gunsaimed in his direction and had no choice but to place his hands on the steering wheel. The burly manlooked into Jacob’s car and saw nothing unusual. Then, he ordered, “Get out of the car!” Jacob archedhis eyebrow slightly and glanced out of the window before opening the car door. The burly man grippedhis gun tightly and pointed it at Jacob’s temple. “Put your hands on your head and kneel!” “Shut up!”Jacob mumbled as his eyes flashed with a cold gleam. His figure suddenly flickered and reappeared infront of the burly man before snatching the gun from his hand and shaking it. Soon, the gun broke apartand fell to the ground. There were also a few yellow-colored bullets littered among the gun parts.Suddenly, a sniper fired a shot from a distance, sending a bullet silently toward Jacob. Jacob squintedhis eyes and moved to dodge it. A loud bang ensued, and a crater the size of a ping pong ballappeared on the ground. Then, the burly man began attacking Jacob again. He pulled out a daggerfrom his belt and slashed it toward Jacob. Jacob sneered as he grabbed the wrist of the man’s dagger-wielding hand. At the same time, he slapped the burly man with his free hand. A muffled slap sounded.The burly man widened his eyes as his body shot up into the air and turned a wide circle with Jacob’sgrip on his wrist acting as a fulcrum. Pop! Pop! The burly man groaned, and two bullets dropped fromhis body onto the ground. Meanwhile, an armored car with the word ‘Ministry of Defense’ parked in anearby alley. A middle-aged man with vigor in his eyes, gray-streaked hair, and dressed in a grayspecial combat suit sighed. “As expected of the leader of a large-scale organization whose powerspans multiple domains. He can face an army alone and is unbelievably strong!” Jacob stood in the

middle of the road and threw the burly man about eight meters away. Then, he stepped aside to dodgea sniper bullet before shaping his hand like a sword and waving it. Swoosh! The air tore apart with aboom, forming a white wave which grew in size as it rushed toward the car blocking the middle of theroad and sliced through it like a blade. In the blink of an eye, a loud crack sounded, and the car brokeinto two in the middle. Jacob heard the panicked voices in the car and commanded, “Send mesomeone who has decision-making power.” A short silence ensued before a small team of SpecialForces soldiers rushed out, fully armed from both ends of the road. Jacob narrowed his eyes as fightingspirit and energy surged within his body, filling the air with his intimidating aura. However, the soldierswere only ordinary people armed with thermal weapons. Jacob believed he could destroy them easily.However, before a confrontation could break out, an electronic message swept across the scene. In thenext moment, the group of Special Forces soldiers had no choice but to retreat with expressions ofresentment and unwillingness. Soon, the middle-aged man in the armored car stepped out. He was asquadron leader of the Special Operations Brigade under the Ministry of Defense. He gestured to hismen to carry away the burly men who attacked Jacob before tilting his head slightly and said, “Since Iam here, what do you wish to say?” Jacob had an indifferent expression as he said, “I don’t botheranyone if no one bothers me. However, if you try to harm me, I will not hesitate to kill.” The middle-agedman seemed impressed. “But this is Avalon’s capital, Paramount, and not the war torn Four OuterDistricts!” Jacob replied, “They are all the same to me.” The middle-aged man arched an eyebrow, “Ihave the power to arrest you for the crime of threatening national security!” “You can try.” Jacobsneered. “If you wish to oppose me, be ready to face destruction.” Jacob seemed intimidating as heglanced at his surroundings. “Keep in mind that I do not mind subjecting the whole of Paramount to mywrath.” Suddenly, the strong wind howled and sent dust into the air. Then, the air within a hundred-meter radius of Jacob instantly froze and became still as ice. The middle-aged man took a deep breathand gradually felt his limbs turn stiff. His pupils constricted as he felt fear to the depth of his heart. Itseems the intelligence department has way underestimated the leader of the Scarlet Dragons. He canaffect the physical state of his surrounding with his willpower alone. Even the legendary few… Themiddle-aged man let out a breath and raised his clenched right fist before forcing it back down. In the

span of a few breaths, his men finished clearing the road. Even the car that was slashed in half waspushed into a neighboring alley. “Alright, Mr. Lynch. Let me introduce myself again. I am fromParamount Police Bureau and Ministry of Defense’s Special Operations…” “I am not interested in whoyou are.” Jacob interrupted the middle-aged man. “Furthermore, I do not want to waste my time withyou. Remember what I said. I won’t bother anyone if no one bothers me. However, if anyone tries toharm me, I will kill without hesitation.” Then, he paused before continuing, “You can treat this as awarning.” After that, Jacob got into his car and sped away. “Hmph! What an arrogant fellow! TeamFernando, I request permission to use Thor-001 sniper bullet!” Hearing the angry voice of Number OneSniper from the headset, Fernando clenched his right fist and gave a thumbs up before swinging it leftand right three times to stop all operations. Twenty seconds later, one of the three top leaders of theMinistry of Defense called on his phone. “Why did you cease the arrest operation?” Fernando looked atthe thin line that stretched nearly ten meters on the hard road and responded solemnly, “The target isnot someone ordinary weapons can deal with. I request permission to increase the defense level. Inaddition, I suggest dispatching the Elite Forces…” “You want to seek help from the Elite Forces?Fernando, stop replaceing excuses for your failure. I need you to return immediately. You are no longer incharge of this arrest operation!” The caller hung up immediately. Fernando’s expression turned gloomyand a little worried. What are those bureaucratic heads up to this time? As everyone in the Ministry ofDefense puzzled over how to proceed, Jacob had driven his blue car into an alley. Suddenly, a three-meter-tall street lamp crashed down and pierced the bonnet of his car. Jacob narrowed his eyes as amurderous aura burst out from him! Half an hour later, on a secluded road with gradually decreasingtraffic, a three-meter-tall street lamp suddenly fell and pierced through the front of a blue car.
