Steve and Matt instinctively activated their Telekinesis and electric currents.

They wanted to resist Andrew.

But they discovered that Gu Qing had not been wrong.

Their strength was simply far too weak before Andrew.

What was more, Andrew had grown stronger again over the past few days!

He had reached Seventy Thousand Volts!

Matt was in immense pain. He demanded the most of himself and had always exercised the greatest restraint when it came to power.

Among the three of them, aside from Andrew, Gu Qing had actually placed the most importance on him!

Matt possessed potential that even he himself did not know about.

His willpower was not to be underestimated either!

"Yah! Current Propulsion, burst forth for me!!"

The electric current within Matt surged sharply in a short span of time!

It climbed higher and higher, even forcing Andrew back.

Terrifying currents darted wildly through the room.

The furniture and appliances could not withstand them at all, turning into a complete mess in the blink of an eye.

The cash box exploded as well, sending US dollars spilling everywhere.

Quite a few had already been scorched into ashes by the currents.

Watching so much money get destroyed, Andrew immediately flew into a rage!

"Yah! Die!!"

This time, Andrew unleashed his full strength without holding anything back.

Current Propulsion, Seventy Thousand Volts!

—Boom!

His fist smashed viciously into Matt, and the violent force of the punch even tore through half the wall.

Matt shot out through the breach.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the sky above the street outside.

But Andrew had no intention of letting him go and followed close behind!

Before Matt could react, Andrew appeared above him.

He brought down a savage axe kick, like a descending Tiger-Head Guillotine!

It carried surging killing intent!

And crashed heavily into Matt's abdomen.

Bang!!

A burst of compressed air exploded around Matt as he plummeted into the ground.

A terrifying shockwave spread outward, shattering every window within several hundred meters.

The tremendous commotion even left the officers outside the block utterly shocked!

That was right, these officers had come to arrest Andrew.

His incredibly crude robbery plan had easily left clues for the Seattle police.

And they had followed those clues here.

But they had only just arrived at the block when they witnessed this astonishing scene!

The police cars flashing red and blue came to a stop, and a large number of officers stepped out.

They stared at everything before them with incomparably stunned expressions.

What lay before them was a massive crater!

The asphalt road had been utterly unable to withstand the impact. It had completely shattered, and the ground had sunk inward.

Black cracks stretched outward in every direction.

At the bottom of the crater, Matt's clothes were torn and his entire body was drenched in blood.

His eyes were tightly shut, and it was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead!

The officers immediately drew their guns and disengaged their safeties.

They aimed at Andrew, who floated in the sky and looked down at them with utter indifference.

The chief shouted, "Andrew Detmer! Drop your weapons and surrender with your hands up! You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used as evidence in court..."

Before he could finish, Andrew spoke coldly.

"Annoying!"

As he spoke, lightning bloomed from both hands.

He intended to kill every last one of them.

"No! Andrew! I won't let you do this!!"

Steve flew out through the broken wall of the room.

He lunged fiercely at Andrew, who hovered in midair.

At the same time, after realizing Andrew intended to fight back,

the chief decisively gave the order.

"Fire!! Fire!!"

The Metal Storm formed by the bullets swept Steve into its range as well.

Andrew was furious.

These people!

Why did these people always come to make trouble when he was happiest, most delighted, and full of beautiful hopes for the future?!

Waaah! Why?!

"Die!!"

Andrew roared and smashed a fist wrapped in violent electricity into Steve's face.

Sending him flying at once.

As for the bullets, they had been blasted back by his roar long ago.

Because they had not been deliberately guided, they turned into a chaotic barrage of stray bullets.

Yet not a single officer was hit by one.

It was not because they were lucky, but because of one person!

Someone who had stood back up!

The upper half of Matt's clothing burst apart, revealing exaggeratedly bulging muscles.

He was covered in dust and blood, looking thoroughly battered, yet his aura was exceptionally powerful.

The lightning in his eyes grew ever brighter.

"Andrew! I won't let you hurt anyone ever again! Anyone!!"

—Boom!!

He shot forward like a cannonball leaving the barrel, hurtling toward Andrew in the sky.

Even the ground where he had been standing collapsed into a large pit under the immense recoil, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.

Andrew was also extremely surprised that Matt could stand back up.

He was certain that he had not held back at all in that strike.

A full-force eruption of Seventy Thousand Volts should have killed Matt in one blow!

But not only had he stood back up, he had become even stronger!

"Current Propulsion, Hundred Thousand Volts!!"

—Boom!!

Before Andrew could react, a fist carrying thunderous bursts of compressed air slammed heavily into him.

Bang!

Andrew shot away at once, punching through several houses in succession.

He crashed into the living room of one home.

By then, every sofa and coffee table in the living room had been reduced to fragments, while the entire floor had collapsed into a huge crater.

Fortunately, the mistress of the house had not been in the living room. When she came out of the kitchen, she let out a terrified scream.

Andrew crawled out of the crater. Even with Telekinesis protecting him, his shirt had been shredded to rags by that ferocious punch.

His lean, muscular body was exposed, and fine arcs of electricity still danced across his skin.

Lightning flashed violently in his eyes. With just one look at the woman, he frightened her into fainting.

Andrew did not bother with her. He leaped up, smashed through the ceiling, and returned to the sky.

"Matt! If you want a fight, then fight! Today, I'll teach you what a true Top Predator is!"

High in the sky.

Gu Qing stood above the clouds.

Quietly watching everything below.

Gu Qing was very satisfied that Matt had erupted at such a critical moment.

Compared with Steve, Matt and Andrew undoubtedly had a greater chance of evolving to the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation.

They had that potential!

Andrew had also grown to Hundred Thousand Volts by now.

The two clashed continuously, and everywhere they passed looked as though a tornado had swept through.

Chaos and devastation filled the area, with homes and streets reduced to ruins.

Many innocent people did not even understand what had happened before they died in the aftermath of the battle.

Matt was the first to notice this. He knew what kind of destruction they would cause if they continued fighting at their current strength.

Thus, his Fighting Spirit began to wane, and he tried to persuade Andrew with words.

But Andrew had already fought himself into madness!

His relentless barrage left Matt struggling to cope, unable to speak at all!

When Andrew noticed Matt trying to fly away, he spread his fingers wide. Threads of electricity formed a net that enveloped Matt.

He gave him no chance to escape!
