Action Movie? No, a Legendary Drama!

"What could it be? Military weapons? Chemical weapons? It can't be a bacterial weapon, can it?" Feng Xue mentally assessed the limits of these assassins, and secretly reached out to touch the S-Clash Driver, ensuring she could transform at any time.

But at that moment, the [Acuity] attribute from the Assassin Tag suddenly triggered, a sense of crisis stimulated his brain, and the frantically throbbing blood vessels made him realize something instantly.

Meanwhile, inside the Live Broadcast Room, the commentator suddenly stopped talking and said in a slightly somber tone:

"Strange, this was the best sniping spot before, why didn't anyone attack? Wait, what is Mr. Augustus trying to do? Oh no, he dropped his display terminal!"

Seeing the gold-rimmed glasses that George Augustus had tossed into the air without hesitation, the host exclaimed in disbelief:

"We all know that Augustus was able to escape the recent assassination attempts not only because of his robust physique, but also because of his excellent ballistic prediction system, the origin of which is unknown. But now he has actually lost his display terminal!"

"Oh, wait, that terminal..."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, sparks flew from the gold-rimmed glasses that were being focused on by the drone. After a brief silence, the host immediately shouted:

"Hacker! It's a hacker attack! The assassin actually used a hacker attack, causing the display terminal's battery to overload and explode instantly. Although the explosive power is not enough to kill, if it explodes close to the head, it will at least cause a concussion, and might even damage the eyeballs. This is really too insidious!"

"However, Mr. Augustus's terminal hardware should be a new model from Konstantin Company. It was able to breach its firewall. No wonder the assassin had to hide his identity! Constantine's stock is going to plummet!"

"But how will Mr. Augustus deal with the current situation? I remember his medical report didn't seem to mention the installation of a built-in personal terminal, did it? No, it's probably better to be uneasy in this situation, since those devices mounted inside the skull can't be thrown away like glasses!"

"Will Betting Company has opened betting odds for this clash, and interested viewers can place bets through the hotline. Mr. Augustus's odds of survival have now skyrocketed to an all-time high, so don't miss out—oh no, I'm not trying to entice anyone to bet, so don't blame me if you win or lose..."

"Ah! It's moving, the sniper is aiming! Oh, the muzzle brake on this gun seems to have been modified... Oh my god, I know, it's going to use the PTV22 high-penetration noise-reducing round. Viewers who often play shooting games should be familiar with it, right? That's right, it's the infamous 'Old Six Bullet, a limited-use weapon that's said to ruin the entire game experience with just one magazine!"

"Using this weapon after already destroying the display terminal, they're really cautious! Director, give us an overhead view. Yes, everyone, look, Mr. Augustus is about 1,500 meters away from the sniper and is still moving. At this distance, even if the Old Six Bullet's flight speed is relatively slow, there's less than two seconds to react from firing to hitting the target, and he clearly hasn't noticed yet..."

"Oh, he turned his head! At a distance of over 1,500 meters, while moving at high speed on his motorcycle, he actually turned his head to look at the sniper!"

"My God, I don't know if this is a coincidence, but judging from the sniper's movements, their lines of sight have already met!"

"The trigger has been pulled, drone, give us a close-up of the bullet!"

"Was he off course? No, he dodged! In the split-screen rewind, we can see that after turning around, he made a clear zigzag maneuver. There is no doubt that Mr. Augustus has the vision to spot a sniper 1,500 meters away!"

"Director! Close-up of the face!"

"Okay, with the locomotive moving, we can clearly see the condition of Mr. Augustus's eyes. From the texture of the iris, the degree of reflection, and the distribution of blood vessels, I can say with certainty that this is absolutely true to the naked eye!"

"How exactly did he do that? Was it a new type of stimulant from Rhine Life? Or the brain-computer interface chip in the Loken Water Tank? Although the medical report from the notary office shows that Mr. Augustus has no prosthetic modifications, frankly speaking, such performance is clearly beyond the capabilities of a mortal!"

"Oh, let's talk about that later. As we can see, while they were engaged with the snipers, the War Bishop had already sealed off the nearby exits, and Mr. Augustus's current route..."

"Four units! There are actually four War Bishop Exoskeleton Warrior!"

"At this moment, I desperately wish Mr. Augustus were watching our live broadcast, so that he would at least know that he should change course."

"Unfortunately, his display terminal was destroyed beforehand. Those who bet on Augustus and failed can pop the champagne now, but those who bet on the survivor shouldn't rush to tear up their tickets; there might still be a chance?"

"We'll meet in ten seconds. Whether he lives or dies depends on whether he turns at this intersection! Oh, what a cunning sniper shot. Mr. Augustus has lost his chance to turn. 4, 3, 2... Here it comes!"

As Feng Xue listened to the passionate commentary echoing from the Kamen Rider Armor, she suddenly jumped off the motorcycle. The motorcycle, now at full speed, crashed into the alleyway after losing its rider. Before it could even get out of the way, it was engulfed in the smoke and flames of the exploding flame bombs.

With a flick of his fingers, a small hook gripped a protruding section of the building's wall, instantly neutralizing the impact of the blast from the speeding motorcycle.

He lightly stepped on the wall, grabbed a cable, and swung out.

If it were just a simple chase, this would have been enough for him to escape his pursuers. However, with several drones and snipers monitoring him, his every move was also being kept under surveillance by his pursuers.

With a loud bang, two red exoskeletons, each over three meters tall, came into Feng Xue's view with the aid of jetpacks. The rockets that had already deployed from their magazines were now ignited.

However, instead of changing direction, Augustus, who should have chosen to flee, let go and, using inertia, lunged directly at the two War Bishop exoskeletons.

A total of twelve rockets ignited in that instant, streaking through the air in white plumes of smoke as they hurtled toward the approaching Augustus.

But in this somewhat tragic atmosphere, Mr. Augustus seemed to have a cheat code, performing a gymnastic-like twist in mid-air, narrowly missing the rocket barrage and landing precisely on top of a War Bishop.

"I'll treat you to some pineapple!"

In the all-around, unobstructed footage captured by the drone, countless viewers watched in astonishment as this man, with his smooth, fluid movements and a single, continuous shot, pulled a grenade from his pocket, pulled the pin, and shoved it into the War Bishop's neck.

"Holy crap, how did he manage to pry open the exoskeleton helmet with his bare hands?!"

Regarding why the sentence for assassinating the mayor was lenient...

Please note that this is not a mayor, but Mayoral Candidate.

Ultimately, the so-called mayoral election is nothing more than a nationwide talent show disguised as an election.

You should view dealing with assassination attempts as a platform for candidates to demonstrate their strength and skill. If you die, it only means that you don't have enough background, skill, or talent.

Furthermore, in the Cyberpunk World, the axe is merely a decoration; real power resides in the hands of capital. Therefore, the greater the profit from an action, the lower the sentence. Conversely, if an action yields no profit or may threaten capital, its sentence will skyrocket.

Assassinating Mayoral Candidate can bring in a lot of benefits, so the sentence is lenient, it's that simple.
