If the other side had a Second Tier Transcendent, they most likely wouldn't be able to beat them.
And there was a chance Jack's ability would be seen through.
The kid was too young.
"Captain, is there no other way? If we wait any longer, they'll leave."
"Don't rush." Ryan waved a hand. "It'd be even better if they leave. Let them take the map and go; we'll just intercept Norman. They know the defensive layout, but so do we. The advantage is ours."
"Huh?"
After thinking it over carefully, Jack immediately understood.
"Captain, you're incredible."
He gave a thumbs-up.
About ten minutes later, Norman came out and got into a car.
There was another person with him.
Meanwhile, Ryan saw two people rapidly leave the factory. They were probably Supernatural Beings; they were so fast that they vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.
Two against two.
"Can you stop that car?" Ryan asked.
"Piece of cake."
The two hid along the car's only route. As Norman drove over, Jack raised his right hand and gripped his right wrist with his left. A milky white glow radiated from his right palm.
Supernatural power!
Boom!
The space on the street warped. The car slammed into an invisible spatial barrier with a dull crash. Since he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, Norman was violently jolted forward, his head striking the steering wheel, and he went still.
Because the car wasn't moving very fast, it wasn't reduced to wreckage.
Just then, the car door was kicked open by tremendous force. Ryan drew his gun and fired without a word.
But the other person was fast and dodged the shots.
Without needing Ryan to call out to him, the college student bravely charged out. He did so while invisible, intercepting the enemy halfway when they tried to rush Ryan and take him out, then smashed a fist hard into their head.
"Pegasus Fist!" Jack shouted.
"Meteor Fist! Butterfly Fist! Explosive Kick! Count up your sins!"
Ryan froze. What the hell was that?
Jack had clearly received combat training. His fighting skills were even fiercer than Ryan's, and with the initiative in hand, he suppressed the opposing Supernatural Being so thoroughly that they couldn't fight back at all.
No... kid, where did you learn those embarrassing lines?
Seeing Jack had the upper hand, Ryan rushed over to the car to check on Norman.
At that moment, Norman's head was spinning, and waves of intense pain radiated from his chest.
"Director!"
Hearing the voice, Norman turned around and instinctively reached for his gun to attack.
"Don't shoot, Director, it's me. Friendly!" Ryan said in a low voice. "Lord Adler sent me to support you!"
Norman was stunned, not quite understanding the situation.
But since Ryan could mention Adler, he had to be one of their own.
"Director, do you know me?" Ryan asked.
"Who... who the fuck are you?" Norman cursed. "What the hell is going on?!"
He didn't know him. That made things easier.
"The Burning Covenant has set its sights on you."
"So it was them. Damn it..." Norman looked through the car window at the two people fighting in the distance and snarled, "Take that guy out for me!"
"Of course. Everything for Grand Duke Magana. But the situation has changed... Director, did you tell the Hand of Darkness about the Bureau of Governance?"
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, what was I doing here?"
"How did you tell them?"
"Of course I gave them a map of the defensive layout."
"Do you still have that map?"
"Of course. What I gave them was a copy."
"What about the other map?"
"It's on me... Fuck, why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and get me out of here first!"
Norman cursed. His brain had been scrambled by the impact, and he nearly failed to react. Why was he wasting time talking to Ryan here?
"Oh."
Ryan pressed his Revolver against Norman's forehead. "Director, I'll send you on your way."
Norman froze. "What are you doing..."
Bang!
His head burst open.
You didn't know me, yet you still dared act so arrogantly?
Ryan searched Norman's pockets and found the guard layout for the train station. This time, Adler had arranged for headquarters to take over security management, so only Norman knew the overall situation. Jonathan didn't.
Considering that "Lin Qi" was also involved in the battle to protect the Princess, Ryan had only decided to act at the last moment. Using the guard layout to deduce the Hand of Darkness's actions was extremely important to them.
As for Norman, dead was dead. He was going to die later anyway. When Adler asked about it, Ryan could just pin the blame on the Burning Covenant.
"If even someone at Norman's level doesn't know me, then it seems only Adler knows my identity... Heh~ if I take him out too, I'll successfully clear my name."
