If the opponent were a second-tier Supernatural Being, they likely wouldn't be able to win.

And Jack's abilities also had a certain probability of being seen through.

This kid is too young.

"Captain, is there no other way? If we wait any longer, they'll leave."

"Don't rush," Ryan waved his hand. "It's better if they leave. Let them take the map, and we'll intercept Norman. They know the defensive layout, and so do we. The advantage is ours."

"Huh?"

Jack thought about it carefully and immediately understood.

"Captain, you truly live up to your reputation."

He gave a thumbs-up.

About ten minutes later, Norman came out from inside and got into the car.

Another person was with him.

Meanwhile, at the factory, Ryan saw two people quickly leave. They were likely Supernatural Beings; their speed was too great, and they vanished from sight in an instant.

Two against two.

"Can you stop that car?" Ryan asked.

"Piece of cake."

The two hid along the car's path. As Norman drove over, Jack raised his right hand, placed his left hand at the wrist of his right hand, and released a milky white light from his right palm.

Supernatural Power!

BOOM!

The space on the street distorted. The car hit an invisible spatial barrier with a dull thud. Because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, Norman, who was driving, slammed forward, his head hitting the steering wheel and becoming still.

Since the speed wasn't high, the car didn't turn into wreckage.

Just then, the car door was kicked open with brute force. Ryan pulled out his gun and, without a word, aimed and fired.

But the opponent's speed was very fast, and they dodged the gunfire.

Without Ryan needing to shout, the college student bravely charged out. He went in while invisible. When the opponent tried to rush over to deal with Ryan, he intercepted them halfway and smashed his fist hard into their head.

"Pegasus Fist!" Jack shouted.

"Meteor Fist! Butterfly Fist! Explosive Kick! Count your crimes!"

Ryan was stunned. What was all that?

Jack had clearly received combat training, and his fighting techniques were fiercer than Ryan's. By seizing the initiative, he had the opposing Supernatural Being completely unable to fight back.

No... kid, where did you learn these embarrassing lines?

Seeing Jack gaining the advantage, Ryan rushed to the car to check on Norman's condition.

At this moment, Norman's eyes were dazed, and he felt intense pain in his chest.

"Director!"

Hearing the voice, Norman turned his head and instinctively reached for his gun to attack.

"Don't shoot, Director, it's me, an ally!" Ryan whispered. "Lord Adler sent me to meet you!"

Norman was stunned, a bit confused about the situation.

But since Ryan could mention Adler, he must be one of them.

"Do you recognize me, Director?" Ryan asked.

"Who... who the hell are you?" Norman cursed. "What's going on here?!"

If he didn't recognize him, that made things easier.

"People from the Burning Covenant have targeted you."

"So it's them, damn it..." Norman's gaze passed through the car window to the two fighting in the distance, and he said fiercely, "Take that guy down for me!"

"Of course, everything is for Grand Duke Magana. But the situation has changed now... Director, did you tell the people from the Hand of Darkness about the Bureau of Governance?"

"Isn't that obvious? Why else would I be here?"

"How did you tell them?"

"I gave them the defensive layout map, of course."

"Do you still have that map?"

"Of course, I gave them a copy."

"Then what about the other map?"

"It's on me... Damn it, why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and get me out of here!"

Norman cursed. His head was still ringing from the impact, and he almost didn't react. Why was he wasting time talking to Ryan here?

"Oh."

Ryan pressed the revolver to Norman's forehead. "Director, I'll send you on your way."

Norman froze. "What are you going to do..."

Bang!

His head exploded.

He doesn't recognize me but still dares to be so arrogant?

Ryan searched Norman's pockets and found the guard deployment for the train station. This time, Adler had arranged for the main bureau to take over security management, so only Norman knew the overall situation; Jonathan wasn't aware.

Considering that 'Lin Qi' was also involved in the princess's defense, Ryan decided to make his move last. Deducing the Hand of Darkness's actions from the guard deployment was very important to them.

As for Norman, his death was inevitable anyway, so it didn't matter. When Adler asked later, he'd just push the blame onto the Burning Covenant.

"Even someone at Norman's level doesn't recognize me. It seems only Adler knows my identity... Heh~ If I take him out too, I'll be in the clear."
