On the outer ring highway, the stream of traffic was like weaving shuttles, and the sound of horns echoed endlessly.

Night Owl gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze like a hawk staring at the silent night ahead.

There stood a solitary television signal tower, with its red aviation light flickering rhythmically at the top, like a beating heart.

Continuing four kilometers in this direction, there was the unfinished building area located in the East Suburb.

A dozen minutes ago, there were gunshots suddenly from Ghost Scythe’s end, who was originally in communication with him, and then the signal was completely cut off.

No matter the call or reconnection attempts, all that responded was the "zzzz" sound of electric currents.

"Damn, what the hell happened?"

Night Owl’s brows were tightly knit, his foot lowered the accelerator by another notch, and the sports car engine roared like a beast.

It was obvious that an intense battle was taking place at the unfinished building side.

Even Ghost Scythe’s specially made communication headset lost contact, indicating that the battle was much fiercer than anticipated.

But now he was like a blind man, unable to see the situation clearly at all.

Was it that Special Search Team Commissioner who was playing possum, suddenly opening fire to ambush?

Or... had the big fish that had been lurking in the shadows really shown up as planned and collided with Ghost Scythe?

In comparison, Night Owl was more inclined to believe the latter.

According to the original intelligence provided by the organization, the target of this operation was a tough and ruthless character.

Besides having extremely high spiritual resistance and a will of iron, his physical body seemed to have undergone some kind of unknown enhancement, with tremendous strength.

Back in Cui City, not only did this person destroy the organization’s secret layout against the Chen Family, he even single-handedly killed Xuan Zhen, who was possessing Chen Hongye.

One must know, even though Chen Hongye had already deceased, his physical body was as sturdy as gold and stone, able to remain undecayed for decades.

As for Xuan Zhen, he was a monster surviving from the previous dynasty, known for his soul-capturing abilities, mysterious and unpredictable.

Once targeted by him, even those with bodies of iron couldn’t escape the fate of their souls being scattered.

Even Night Owl, an S-Class Spiritual Ability User, would retreat in the face of this old predecessor.

Since this person could successfully kill Xuan Zhen, it’s naturally possible he could give Ghost Scythe a hard time, even threaten Ghost Scythe’s life.

"Just don’t kill the guy outright..."

Night Owl glanced at the dashboard where the speed soared to 180, feeling a bit anxious inside.

What he worried about wasn’t that Ghost Scythe would lose.

But rather that the battle would be too intense, and that lunatic would get excited, use his full strength, and blow the target to pieces.

If that happened, this trip would be in vain.

Night Owl knew all too well the skills and fighting style of his companions.

As one of Black Shark’s three aces, in terms of the destructive power caused by battle, Ghost Scythe was definitely a top-tier power user.

With his mind-boggling explosive art and the extraordinary Talent of the "Demon Lizard Evil Eye", this guy was a complete nemesis of those who were purely physical strength enhancers.

Moreover, after performing the terrifying Domain named "Infinite Explosion Beehive", its power was enough to rival a Super S-Class power user.

As for spiritual attacks?

Ghost Scythe was someone who could simultaneously control hundreds of Clay Bombs, how could his Spiritual Resilience be weak?

Although his abilities indeed had many limiting factors, as long as he prepared well in advance, he could deplete most S-Class power users simply by outlasting them.

At worst, he could resort to a desperate, mutually destructive move.

It was hard for Night Owl to imagine a reason Ghost Scythe would lose.

Unless, the opponent’s strength had reached a Super S-Class...

Thinking this, Night Owl shook his head self-deprecatingly, throwing this absurd idea out of his mind.

Throughout the entire Xia Country, there were only about a dozen Super S-Class monsters.

Either they were overlords, the ultimate leaders of various forces, or reclusive hermits, ancient monsters who had lived for over a hundred years.

Or they were the ultimate cyborgs, created by elite laboratories with vast resources.

None of these matched the muscular image of the man in the documents.

If he guessed correctly, the mysterious man was indeed Fang Shijie, the one who defected from the organization years ago.

Nineteen years had passed, even if he had some stroke of luck, advancing from A-Class to S-Class would be like ancestral smoke rising from his grave.

Expecting to ascend to the sky in one step, reaching Super S-Class?

How is that different from daydreaming and whimsical fantasies?

"So..."

Night Owl’s eyes turned cold, changing lanes to the left again, overtaking forcefully.

If Ghost Scythe solved the culprit who sabotaged the organization’s plans on his own.

The credit for this mission would fully belong to that bomb fanatic?

Where would that leave his face?

More importantly, if the man died, there would be no way to extract the secret intelligence concerning Ideal Land from Fang Shijie’s mouth.

That’s what those big shots above were truly concerned about.

He had to arrive on-site before Ghost Scythe dealt a death blow.

He couldn’t let this guy completely lose control and blow the target to ashes; otherwise, everything would go to waste.

This incredibly valuable prey must be captured by his own hands!

Night Owl slammed the steering wheel, the sound of the tires skidding on the road became even sharper.

"Boom————"

Just as he was fantasizing about how to share the credit, a thunderous explosion instantly drowned out the roar of the engine.

It was as if thunder exploded from the clouds, reaching his ears, and it shocked his heart to its core.

The enormous sound wave caused violent air vibrations, even the car windows were humming and vibrating.

"Screech————"
