A moment ago.
Jay had arrived at the hospital grounds after receiving the message from Melody.
The hospital didn’t seem to have turned into a battlefield. Hence, Jay walked to one of the benches in the small park in front of the hospital and sat down. Of course, he also checked the rooftop and all the windows that had the potential to host a sniper.
His childhood friend was a sniper, so he could find a sniper much easier because he had gotten used to it.
Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be anyone who could kill him all of a sudden. Still, he had chosen a bench that was located a bit far from the people. It was also covered with trees to prevent anyone from ambushing him from far away.
’Should I call Clovis? I’m worried about Melody, but calling her right now might give away her position. Besides, Melody should be the one to call me after she determines that she is safe.
’Has Clovis been notified? Or should I call for our reinforcement? Maybe I should notify the mayor about this. He should be able to send some reinforcement… at least to protect the hospital and Melody’s brother.
’Still, turning this place into a battlefield doesn’t feel good, even though the opposite party might not feel the same.’ Jay was trying to figure out their current situation.
However, before he realized it, a few people were approaching him. More importantly, there was one person who managed to get close to him after erasing his presence to the limit.
It wasn’t at the level of Aileen, but he managed to get close enough where he could pull out his knife.
"!!!" Jay’s instinct was screaming danger. He hurriedly raised his left hand to block whatever was coming.
The knife ended up striking his phone, which bent it ninety degrees.
With a single glance, Jay realized that he had been surrounded. He quickly threw the phone to the first attacker.

"Gah!" The attacker abruptly stopped after getting hit by the phone, giving Jay an opportunity to hit him.
Jay used his Dire Wolf beast soul to punch the guy in the stomach. He allowed the momentum to move to his fist, which ended up getting transferred completely upon impact.
"Gah!" The attacker spat a mouthful of blood and acid as he was blown away. Jay skillfully launched him at another person, so he ended up taking them both out at the same time.
The attackers realized that they had been recognized. Without hesitation, all of them charged toward Jay.
Jay couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows. The attackers’ levels weren’t that high. Most of them were Tier 0 and Tier 1. However, he saw two Tier 2 humans among them.
It was definitely not enough to kill him.
Still, how could these people attack them in broad daylight? Jay was perplexed.
When the attackers entered his range, Jay waved his blade without drawing it. He smashed the knife with his blade and ultimately hit the head so hard that the guy instantly passed out with his head bleeding severely.
After that, Jay jumped to the side, choosing to go after the weakest people first. However, moving here caused him to notice the glint coming from the rooftop.
"!!!" Jay hurriedly jumped back because it could only mean one thing.
Bam!
A bullet actually hit the ground.
He was lucky that he jumped away before the guy shot, or the bullet would have hit him with that speed.
He hurriedly positioned himself in a way that the sniper couldn’t aim at him. It was clear that the sniper had been hiding this whole time and waiting for the perfect opportunity. The rest of the people were just there to lure him out.
Still, the perfect chance had gone.
The rest of the guys continued onward, desperately trying to drag Jay out of this position so that their sniper could take him out.
However, Jay overwhelmed them with his strength, blasting them one after another.
Surprisingly, not a single one of them was holding a gun, even though that was the most effective weapon for lower tier people.
’Are they planning something? Melody is coming here. My phone is dead, so how do I inform Melody about the sniper’s existence? The sniper on the rooftop can reach that position because he is not going for Kanaria’s brother. If we’re outside the base where no one is around, I would have cut them clean. I guess I shouldn’t kill them easily.
They can still be interrogated to know everything about this attack.
’In addition, even if it’s self defense, it is not good for our reputation… at least for the time being. In that case…’
Jay took a deep breath. The remaining three people were Tier 2 and Tier 1.
He observed all of them as well as the position of the building.
"Aaaahhh!" The Tier 1 guy became desperate, trying to create an opportunity to take Jay down.
Jay simply hit his right arm, causing it to bend in a weird way. After that, he spun the guy and grabbed the collar of this person from behind before running toward the second guy.
"!!!" They thought Jay was insane, but he actually used the Tier 1 guy as a meat shield, trying to protect himself from the sniper.
’Do you think it’s a movie? You don’t know what a bullet of this caliber can do.’ The sniper aimed carefully and shot at Jay’s body.
The shot hit the Tier 1 guy.
"Aaahhh!" He was wailing in pain because the bullet pierced through his body and hit Jay.
However, Jay also knew about this fact. If not for the clothes from Clovis, he wouldn’t dare to do something like this.
The jacket alone wasn’t enough to block it, but the meat shield had reduced a portion of its power.
That was why the jacket managed to block the bullet even though he still felt the impact.
"Kh." Jay gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. He still had one second before the sniper could shoot again. Hence, he threw the guy in his hand to the Tier 2 guy.
"Gah!" The Tier 2 guy fell to the ground, but when he was about to get up, Jay was already there, his saber hitting his head, which ultimately knocked him out.
After that, Jay used this guy as a meat shield again, so the sniper had no choice but to shoot his colleague to kill Jay.
Once again, the bullet was blocked. However, before the sniper could hit him again, Jay had reached the building.
Without hesitation, he jumped toward the window and smashed it. His body rolled down as he immediately lowered his body to avoid entering the sniper’s point of view.
’There is still one more Tier 2 guy, but it can’t be helped. I will think about their reasons later, but I have to take the sniper out before Melody arrives.’
The Tier 2 guy was wondering if he should chase after Jay or stay in his position. They had been found out, and the civilians were already scattering because of the fight.
Meanwhile, Jay took a deep breath and looped around, using the building as a cover as he made his way toward the rooftop.
