Gohan strode to the rooftop of the school building and stood on its edge.
Feeling the gentle breeze, his school uniform rustled in the wind, and his light blue hair swayed freely.
He glanced at the azure sky ahead and took a deep breath.
"Call!!"
" Black Heart!"
One after another, platinum-gold armor parts appeared around Gohan.
"Arm up!"
Gohan crossed the edge of the rooftop, his feet dangling in the air, and the armor gradually spread upwards from his feet until it covered his entire body.
"Armor Combination!"
With a heavy, magnetic mechanical sound, Gohan's entire figure disappeared into the sky.
He Instant Transmission away...
Half a minute after the vault door was blown open, a platinum-gold figure appeared inside the bank.
Gohan looked at the group through his sky-blue goggles; their reactions were very unusual.
It looked as if they were waiting specifically for me!
Clap clap clap!
The man in the suit, who was in the lead, slowly walked forward, clapping his hands continuously.
"As expected, the Light arrived very quickly! In just half a minute."
Aren't you afraid?
A cold, mechanical voice came from inside the armor. Gohan looked indifferently at the man in the suit, unafraid of any conspiracy.
Faced with absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery is nothing but wishful thinking.
"Fear? Why should we be afraid?"
The man in the suit glanced back at his companion with a cold smile, and then everyone burst into laughter, bending over with mirth.
"Our goal is to find you!" The man in the suit looked at Gohan again with a chilling gaze, his cold eyes filled with endless malice.
"Looking for me? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Isn't it better to be alive?"
Sensing the evil aura Gohan spoke dismissively.
The malevolence of their aura was enough for me to pronounce their deaths.
"Hahaha! Suicide? Shadow, or you call yourself Light, who knows who will die here today?"
Why do you think we're so bold?
Gohan scoffed. How would he know? Could their reliance be that person hiding in the shadows?
I'm sorry, but the difference between myself and that person is like that between an ant on the ground and a star in the sky.
How can ants compare to the sun? They are not even worthy of looking up at the sun!
"Really? Is it that hidden person who gave you courage?"
Gohan had already sensed that person before they arrived, but he hadn't taken it seriously.
"Come out, stop hiding."
As the mechanical, electronically synthesized voice rang out, the room door slowly opened, and a man dressed in a peach-pink coat stepped out.
If Goku were here, he would definitely recognize Mercenary Tao.
"I didn't expect you to notice, but so what? This is the world's number one assassin—Mr Mercenary Tao!"
The man in the suit quickly went to Mercenary Tao's side and flattered him, then looked at Gohan with a mocking expression.
"We did this to lure you out. Do you know how much profit your underground forces in West City have lost?"
"To this end, the underground forces joined forces and hired Mr. Mercenary Tao, the world's number one assassin, and set up a trap, all for today!"
Gohan calmly watched the man in the suit perform. Was attacking the bank and blowing up the vault door just to kill him?
But why kill innocent people!
Gohan glanced at the bank employees lying in pools of blood, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.
What do they take the lives of ordinary citizens for?
Judging from my perception of the qi, everyone here is capable of being sent to Hell by me. In that case, I don't need to hold back.
You went to such lengths to kill yourselves, you really went through a lot of trouble.
But I'm sorry, you can't even let me use my full strength.
"What?"
Mercenary Tao's hair stood on end; his premonition of danger, honed from years as an assassin, constantly reminded him to lie down.
I'm going to die! I'm going to die if I don't run!
Gohan stretched out his right hand, his fingers slashing forward, and an invisible air slash, sharp enough to cut through everything in the world, suddenly appeared.
boom!!!
In an instant, the entire bank was filled with smoke.
When the smoke cleared, there was no one else standing in the entire bank except Gohan.
A deep crack appeared in the surrounding wall, and countless pieces of rubble fell to the ground.
The man in the suit stared at the glass chandelier in front of him, and for some reason, his eyelids felt heavier and heavier.
Why? Why? Why did my gaze suddenly shift upwards?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a body standing there, only the lower half of it; it seemed to be his own.
At that moment, he already knew the answer in his heart.
So that's how it is? I was actually cut in half at the waist.
(I'm so sorry I couldn't get Lord Light to use his full strength. Just kidding, this is a joke, please don't take it too seriously.)
The man in the suit gradually lost his vitality.
Due to the high temperature generated by the air abrasive cutting, the expected scene of blood gushing from the wound did not occur; instead, the blood was charred and stopped bleeding.
Gohan still felt utterly disgusted by the sight of blood splattering everywhere.
Mercenary Tao covered his head and lay on the ground, luckily and just in time to escape this ordeal, but he was already drenched in sweat.
What's going on? How can some unknown guy who just appeared out of nowhere possess strength far exceeding my own?!
Who on Earth is stronger than Tien Shinhan and his gang? If I hadn't dodged in time, I probably would have been cut in half like them!
That's right. Because of the butterfly effect Mercenary Tao didn't encounter Goku. Instead, he was taught a lesson by Tien Shinhan beforehand. Considering that they were from the same school, Tien Shinhan didn't do anything to Mercenary Tao.
He learned about Goku and the others' strength from Tien Shinhan's words, so he didn't bother to approach Goku.
No, we have to escape!
At this point, Mercenary Tao no longer cared about any mission objectives.
Money? You need to be alive to spend it!
Gohan was somewhat surprised to see Mercenary Tao lying on the ground. Logically speaking, although he had only used a small amount of force in his slash, it should have been enough to finish him off.
It seems this person's martial arts skills aren't low, but that's about it.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so strong? But..."
Mercenary Tao got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and pretended to be calm, but his wandering eyes betrayed his purpose.
Gohan smiled without saying a word as he watched Tao Mercenary Tao, observing his pretense. Did Tao really think he couldn't see through Tao Pai Pai's intention to escape?
Just then, Mercenary Tao spotted a broken section of the load-bearing column in the corner of her eye. Her eyes lit up – she had an idea!
"Kid, you're nothing special! Take this!"
Dodon Ray!
Mercenary Tao Gohan, then swiftly arrived beside the load-bearing wall.
He quickly hoisted it up, leaped outside the bank, and hurled the load-bearing wall towards the sky. Mercenary Tao followed closely behind, jumping onto it and soaring into the sky alongside the rapidly flying load-bearing wall.
Pillar Riding Technique!
It has to be said that when it comes to showing off, Mercenary Tao is the best. He even manages to show off while running away.
"Goodbye, kid!"
Inside the bank, the energy wave, capable of penetrating any matter on Earth, stopped half a meter away from Gohan, blocked by a wall of energy.
Gohan subtly moved his feet, turned his body, and quietly watched Mercenary Tao escape from the bank.
"Trying to escape? Too bad I've already locked onto your presence."
The next second Gohan disappeared from the spot.
