In the experimental area, there were many others who had suffered the same fate.

After Su Wen executed those researchers one by one, he calmly said to Grace, "You have experience as a caregiver in orphanages. Please take care of them here for now."

The black strongman smashed open an experimental cabinet with a punch, rescuing the children despite the blood seeping from the cut on the back of his hand.

Upon hearing Su Wen's words, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Settle the score with the managers here," Su Wen replied calmly. "It's the Night Watch's duty."

"I'll go with you."

Su Wen, the Racecar Driver No. 25, patted his partner on the shoulder. "No need. This place is just as important. Take care of the people you cherish."

Then, he coolly adjusted his headset and asked, "Caroline, did you record everything?"

"Yes, the surveillance data will be backed up and uploaded via the South American base station springboard today. It should significantly impact the stock price of the Les Anges headquarters in California."

Les Anges was conducting human experiments through cybernetic modification, brainwashing mental control, and Abyssal Contamination. Even in Detroit, it was enough to cross the line of human morality.

And all of this was now irrefutably proven.

"It's hard to imagine that while consuming so many social resources, Les Anges' bottom line has become even more appalling," Caroline continued, sitting in front of her split-screen computer. "I just retrieved the background encrypted logs through that researcher's identity information. Vern's daughter, Jier-Onions, was secretly transported to the core area on the 17th floor of Block A twenty minutes ago."

Su Wen pondered, and then came to a conclusion: "It seems they want to use this to threaten Vern."

Those scumbags wanted to escape, they had to shake off the White Hound's pursuit. Therefore, they would definitely use such dirty tricks as threatening Vern with his most precious daughter.

[Current Stage Mission Changes:] [Priority #1: Prevent the death of White Hound, Fern Onions] [Priority #2: Eliminate Andrew-Brady, Head of Les Anges' Detroit Branch] [Please note: The power of High-Level Transcendent is still beyond your ability to confront head-on at this time]

Looking at the system prompt, Su Wen smiled. Then, he calmly said, "Mark the fastest route to reach her on the map for me."

"Marked. The elevator is currently the fastest, but the safety level is extremely low. It is recommended to go through the fire escape in the experimental area."

He didn't act tough. Instead, he quickly climbed to the 17th and a half floor according to the fire escape route.

At the 17th and a half floor, Su Wen saw that he was at the edge of a sealed observation room. Below was a huge and complex experimental site. And countless Resistors who had come in response to his call were already surrounding the center from all directions.

They clashed, brandishing various weapons, against the Trauma Team's heavily modified cyborgs.

At the center of the experimental arena, protected by the experimental shielding and the Trauma Team's cyborgs, a man with a somber expression aimed his gun at the young girl beside him.

[Identification: Andrew-Brady. Les Anges Detroit Branch Manager, Tier 3 Transcendent, Sublimation Lineage: 'Apostle of Calamity']

That's him.

Su Wen calmly said to Caroline over the earpiece:

"Remember what I told you?

While the Carnival Convoy creates a diversion, spread the Trauma Team's simulated signal."

"No problem, the jamming signal has been deployed."

In the distance, inside the protective layer at the center of the massive experimental open space, the 17th-floor skylight of Les Anges was gradually opening.

A Les Anges top-tier armored rescue helicopter was already waiting outside the building.

Andrew said viciously:

"Vern, as a dog kept by Les Anges, are you sure you want to risk your life for this experimental subject who isn't even considered a 'person'?

If you're willing to save her, I'll give you ten seconds to drop your weapon and crawl in front of me."

"10"

"9"

"8"

As the countdown reached two seconds, a sniper bullet flew towards Andrew-Brady's brow.

But the next second, accompanied by layers of cracks spiderwebbing across the glass protective wall, the bullet ultimately failed to penetrate.

Andrew fired without hesitation. Bang! Vern's daughter fell into a pool of blood.

[Time Reversal] [Load Save] [Return Point: Ten seconds prior]

Su Wen analyzed silently:

"This glass wall has a high level of protection, but that's all it has."

He kicked open the hidden door to the 17th-floor observation booth.

Raising the muzzle of his M16, he unleashed a hail of bullets upwards.

Amidst the fine shards of shattered glass, everyone's attention was drawn to his appearance in the high, mid-air location.

The next second, Su Wen made a move that shocked everyone.

He leaped, jumping down towards the experimental arena, still a dozen meters below.

"It's Rider 25, is he trying to die?"

"Kill him!"

"Just how many more shocking things is he planning to do!"

During his mid-air trajectory, Su Wen snapped his fingers and calmly said:

"Margarita, full speed ahead!"

Instantly, Hum~~!!

Accompanied by the roar of a massive engine, a black racing car with blue streaming lights smashed through the wall on the right and flew out.

That's right.

This was the 'gift' that Su Wen had Caroline spread Trauma Team simulation signals to conceal.

Then.

The race car caught its driver, number 25, with incredibly precise aerial maneuvers.

This scene.

Left everyone dumbfounded.

But Su Wen didn't hesitate at all, gripping the steering wheel with one hand.

In the other, a pale gold, seventeen-sided die appeared:

[Fals Merchant Guild Buff: Seventeen-Sided Dice +10] [Roll: Result 10, Minor Good Luck]

Not enough.

[Load Save: Re-roll]

Ten times.

Twenty times.

Su Wen waited for the result he wanted:

[Roll: Result 17, Triggering Effects 'Strike of Destiny' 'Absolute Strong Luck']

A faint golden layer adhered to the race car's shell, which now shimmered with pale blue light.

It rushed towards its target at an extreme speed.

Like a falling star, it slammed into the earth with blazing fire.

Instantly shattering the protective mirror wall constructed entirely from the Tier 3 Transcendent's Spiritual Energy.

Simultaneously.

Vern, presented with the huge opportunity Su Wen had created.

Held his breath.

Aimed.

And pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet, carrying the massive kinetic energy of the anti-materiel sniper rifle, accurately struck the enemy.

Andrew-Brady's skull was instantly blown open.

Completely dead.

[Two-Star Mission Progress: 83%]

At the same time, Su Wen landed with a stylish drift, using the momentum to save Jier-Onions.

And incidentally crushing all the surrounding enemies with his tires.

Including that trash who was just clamoring moments ago, now with a gaping hole in his head.

Only now.

Was the final sprint of racer number 25 truly complete.

He stopped the car.

And surveyed his surroundings.

Calmly looking at all the armed individuals who had answered his call and said:

"I said I would keep my promise.

Now, be proud of your choices!"
