"You're the commander of our S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Operations Team, an invincible super soldier. Even HYDRA is no match for you. A few Mafia organizations? Wouldn't taking them down be effortless for you?"

Howard lavishly praised Chen Mo before finally revealing his true purpose.

"I'm a scientist. I'll just follow behind and lend a hand."

Howard was very careful about his own life. With a powerful warrior like Chen Mo around, he was more than willing to follow along, win easy battles, and enjoy the thrill. But if he was expected to charge to the front and fight, he knew his own limits.

Chen Mo nodded at that, adding another line in his heart: A warmonger who's afraid of death.

Ignoring Howard, Chen Mo saw that Wang Kun had more or less finished comforting his family and said, "Wang Kun, take your wife and child back to the Martial Arts School first. Have them move in there from now on."

"Yes, thank you, Headmaster!" Wang Kun was overjoyed. After what had happened, he did not dare leave his wife and child alone outside anymore. He had been worrying over what to do, and Chen Mo's words completely lifted that burden from him.

"I hadn't thought things through before. If I'd had them move in earlier, today's incident wouldn't have happened," Chen Mo said self-reproachfully.

"Headmaster, please don't say that! You've already treated us more than well enough!" Wang Kun said hurriedly.

Chen Mo waved a hand. "All right, you go back to the Martial Arts School first."

"Then what about you, Headmaster?" Wang Kun asked doubtfully.

"We're going to Green Street!"

Green Street was the territory of one of the two major Mafia families, the Lucien Family.

"Tonight, I'm wiping out these threats once and for all!"

Hearing this, Wang Kun understood that Chen Mo intended to completely eradicate both families tonight.

He hesitated as he glanced at his wife and child, then quickly made up his mind. Turning to Chen Mo, he said firmly, "Headmaster, I'm coming too!"

Seeing the determination in Wang Kun's eyes, Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction. "Good! Take them back first. We'll meet at the entrance to Green Street later."

"Don't worry. The Martial Arts School is very safe. No one will be able to hurt them!" Chen Mo promised solemnly, patting Wang Kun on the shoulder.

Chen Mo had arranged for elite HYDRA agents to secretly guard the area around the Martial Arts School. Ordinary gang forces would never be able to break through their defenses, and the people inside would be perfectly safe.

Wang Kun had long experienced the extraordinary abilities of his Headmaster and held a blind trust in Chen Mo. Seeing him speak with such certainty, he knew Chen Mo must have made arrangements and finally put his worries to rest. He nodded heavily and took his family back to the Martial Arts School.

Half an hour later, the group met at the entrance to Green Street.

This time, there was no threat from hostages, so they did not need to hold back. Against a mere Mafia family, Chen Mo decided to launch a direct frontal assault.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Mo nodded and led the way toward the gates of the Lucien Family headquarters.

The others followed close behind, striding forward with their guns clenched tightly in their hands, murderous intent blazing in their eyes.

The Lucien Family headquarters was a sprawling, luxurious estate. Inside the iron fence gate, two guards spotted Chen Mo's group marching toward them menacingly under the dim streetlights.

The two had just opened their mouths to shout a warning when the tall figure at the front drew two pistols with incredible speed and aimed them at them. Before they could react further, two flashes erupted from the muzzles across from them. The guards' vision went black, and they lost consciousness completely.

Chen Mo casually shot the two gate guards in the head, then strode up to the gate, raised his right leg, and kicked the Iron Gate with all his strength.

Clang!!!

A deafening crash rang out.

His whistling leg carried immense force, kicking the sturdy iron gate clean off and sending it flying into the estate, where it crashed down into the courtyard.

Chen Mo entered the Lucien Family headquarters with a cold expression. Behind him, the others marveled at his terrifying strength as they hurried in after him.

The people inside had already been alarmed by Chen Mo's gunshots. Several guards who had rushed into the courtyard stared stupidly at the two gate panels lying in the grass and could not help swallowing hard.

When they looked up again, they were met by a row of gun barrels aimed straight at them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the guards in the courtyard were wiped out in an instant.

After sweeping his gaze over the empty courtyard, Chen Mo led the others straight through the open front doors on the first floor.

The Lucien Family headquarters was extravagantly luxurious. Enormous ancient, solemn oil paintings hung on the walls, while ornate European-style hardwood furniture filled the space. Eight towering Roman stone columns stood upon the smooth marble floor of the hall, and a massive, exquisite crystal chandelier illuminated the first-floor hall as brightly as day, making it resplendent and magnificent.

Two lavish curved staircases sloped down from either side of the second floor, merging opposite the entrance into a broad, magnificent staircase that extended all the way to the hall floor. The gleaming marble reflected a splendid radiance beneath the dazzling light of the crystal chandelier.

Several Mafia members in the hall had been about to go outside to investigate the gunfire when they saw Chen Mo's group suddenly burst in. They immediately drew their guns and tried to fire, but before they could pull their triggers, Chen Mo and the others, whose reactions were faster, had already opened fire first. The men were hit several times in an instant and collapsed to the ground.

After clearing the enemies from the hall at incredible speed, Chen Mo did not rush upstairs. Instead, he had Howard and the others take cover where they were and prepare for battle.

Chen Mo could hear chaotic footsteps coming from above the stairs. Clearly, more men had been alerted by the gunfire and were rushing toward the hall.

According to the intelligence Chen Mo had gathered, there were roughly fifty people at the Lucien Family headquarters. Their main weapons included large numbers of pistols, along with a certain number of hunting rifles and Thompson submachine guns. Other than that, they had no heavy weapons capable of threatening Chen Mo. The Bulletproof Armor worn by Howard and the others could easily withstand attacks from those weapons. As long as they were not hit in the head, they would not suffer any harm.

Each of them found cover and raised their guns toward the upper staircase. Howard, meanwhile, stuck close behind Chen Mo, knowing that Chen Mo's back was the safest place to be.

Seeing through Howard's little scheme, Chen Mo rolled his eyes helplessly and ignored his cowardly behavior.

Before long, a group of armed Mafia members came running down the stairs.

"Fire!" Chen Mo barked.

The others, who had already raised their guns and taken aim, pulled their triggers together.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

The Mafia men rushing down the stairs were caught completely off guard. Several were shot directly in the head, and their running bodies tumbled down the staircase.
