Bronya saw this and unleashed a burst from her gun at the person, emptying the magazine.

But no matter how many rounds she fired, the opponent was still standing straight.

"I feel great right now."

"This Power! It's so strong! Hahahahaha!!!"

The middle-aged man laughed wildly, his expression contorted. "Alright, Silver Wolf, it's time for you to join that guy."

Bronya's pupils contracted. She casually tossed her gun aside and drew her dagger.

What was going on with this guy in front of her?

Bullets couldn't even kill him?

Whoosh—

In just a few seconds, Bronya found that the opponent had already reached her!

How could he be so fast?!

He threw a punch!

Smack!

"Same thing I said before, don't touch her with your dirty hands."

"Lin Nai?!" Bronya's face was full of shock.

He was alive?

Was this for real?!

"Hey, hey, Bronya, this young lady is here too!" Kiana jumped out.

Lin Nai, who had suddenly appeared, easily caught the opponent's fist, filling the middle-aged man's face with terror.

"You... How are you not dead?!"

"I crawled back from hell to get revenge on you." Lin Nai chuckled and threw him away with a backhand!

The middle-aged man landed with a backflip, got up, and revealed a mocking smile. "Can you really do it?"

"How will we know if we don't try?"

With that, Lin Nai walked towards the man, a smile on his face.

"Ho ho, after witnessing my current Power, you didn't run away, but instead walked towards me, Buka?"

Oh, so your name is Buka.

What a shame.

I've been calling you "middle-aged man" for almost two chapters, so there's no point in giving you your name now.

"If I don't get closer, how can I beat you up?"

Lin Nai walked along the road, rubbing his hands together, eager to land a punch on the old man's face!

He already wanted to make this Old Man explode into Gold Coins!

The two stood facing each other.

However, before Lin Nai could make a move, the opponent suddenly started twitching erratically, which greatly shocked Lin Nai.

Creak, creak!

"Ugh! Hngh ah ah ah ah!!!"

The man suddenly screamed in agony, scaring Lin Nai into retreating repeatedly.

Someone's losing it!

I hope this doesn't mean he has Epilepsy or some other contagious disease, right?

"Hngh hngh hngh ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Kiana, save me!!!"

The foul shouting scared Lin Nai like a rabbit, and he turned to flee!

This guy is crazy!!

Retreat!

Quickly retreat!

"Lin... Lin Nai?"

Kiana and Bronya stared blankly at Lin Nai, who had shielded them.

"Sorry, I'm really scared that guy might have an episode..." Lin Nai chuckled awkwardly.

Seriously.

Splat!

The man fell to the ground, motionless.

It looked as if he were dead.

"Is he dead?" Kiana stood on tiptoe, peering for a few moments.

Lin Nai glanced over. "He seems to be dead... there's no energy reaction anymore, though there's still quite a bit of Honkai energy left in his body."

"Honkai energy? Huh? That guy had Honkai energy on him?"

"Mhm... I can sense it."

Lin Nai nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly as he felt it out carefully.

His life energy was gone, but there was a lot of Honkai energy.

Bronya didn't understand anything about Honkai energy, but she felt it was necessary to explain what had just happened.

"So, that means... the person was staring at some unknown liquid?"

After listening briefly, Lin Nai and Kiana wore expressions of sudden realization.

But what was that liquid?

Lin Nai then picked up the syringe from the ground; there was still a little residue on it.

These things would have to wait for later.

They had no way to test it now.

What was inside was unknown.

But it definitely wasn't anything good...

So, next, it was time for the most crucial matter!

"Lin Nai, you... why are you okay?"

"Ugh!"

Chapter 18: Kiana: OMO

"So, Lin Nai, please tell Bronya why you are standing here perfectly fine?"

"Gulp!"

"And why are you and Kiana here?"

Lin Nai quickly looked at a certain Kiana.

Kiana's eyes darted around, and she whistled guiltily, completely ignoring Lin Nai.

Lin Nai: ???

Kiana?

Kiana, help me out here?!

Why are you just watching?!

Did you really betray me?!

Kiana!!

Kiana: OMO.

"Haha... Ugh! Ahhh! Ah↗ah↘ah→ah!"

Lin Nai collapsed onto the ground. "I've sustained severe internal injuries..."

Bronya narrowed her eyes, her gray irises filled with disbelief and suspicion.

"Lin Nai."

"Yes!"

Lin Nai sprang up with a sudden burst of energy.

"Tell Bronya the truth," Bronya said, putting on a cat-like face.

Bronya: (? _ ?)

"Mmm... I'm sorry," Lin Nai apologized sincerely. "Bullets don't do much to me."

"Mhm, and then? Why are you two here?"

"Uh, well... I used a little trick to lock onto your position..."

Lin Nai sighed and clasped his hands together. "I'm very sorry."

At that time.

The flash Bronya saw wasn't the reflection of glass, but a sniper scope.

Even Kiana's intuition had sensed it.

Lin Nai had only sensed it slightly, so of course he knew.

Huh?

How did he sense it?

Ask this land.

To prevent Bronya from being ambushed alone, he locked onto Bronya with energy.

To avoid her being separated, it would be troublesome if he couldn't make it in time.

"I hope I can help Bronya overcome her psychological trauma..."

"Even at the risk of getting hurt yourself?"

"Well... they were just a few bullets after all..." Lin Nai didn't dare to look at Bronya's face.

He hadn't come out to save Bronya immediately.

But waited until now...

"Lower your head."

"Huh?"

"Lower your head."

Lin Nai didn't know why, but he lowered his head anyway.

Immediately after, he felt a hand placed on his head.

Gently stroking it.

"Thank you..."

"Huh?" Lin Nai's face showed surprise.

Bronya withdrew her hand, her expression still blank.

"Bronya doesn't know the meaning of patting someone's head, but Kiana is always very happy when it happens."
