Clovis stared at the sky while listening to the alarm. "It has begun. Why do humans have to kill each other when we have a common enemy? I guess whether it’s the real world or a simulation world, the human’s nature can’t be changed."
"Waaf!" Reolf let out a small bark.
Clovis smiled. "Let’s go, Reolf. We have a strong opponent to fight today."
"Waaf!" Reolf’s eyes were excited. He wanted to test his newfound strength as well. Now that he became a Tier 2 and his strength had been boosted by items, he had become equal to a Tier 3 beast.
Clovis opened the door of the minibus and said, "Get on. We’ll be opening our own path."
"Waaf!" As soon as he entered the car, Reolf saw a lot of food. It was human food, but this was the last preparation Clovis had. As long as Reolf ate this food, his strength would be boosted to equal to that of a Tier 4 beast.
…
"Alpha Six, approaching the target!" The team was moving carefully, almost reaching Thomas’ office.
They looked at each other and started planting a breaching charge on the door, but before it could explode, a hand crushed through the door and grabbed the neck of the one planting the charge.
"Gaaahh!" The guy grasped the hand, but it was too late. With a single motion, he broke his neck.
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
They immediately pointed their guns at the door and started shooting.

The noises filled up the quiet office as the people started running away. Screams echoed from the lower floor, but as if he had expected, there was no one other than Thomas on the top floor.
After shooting all their bullets, they couldn’t help but look in confusion, wondering if they had killed him or not.
All of a sudden, the door was blasted with a kick, crashing into one of them.
"Gah!"
"He’s not dead yet!"
When they were about to shoot, Thomas emerged from his room. His movement was so fast that it was hard to follow him. Before they could release another bullet, Thomas passed through them.
"!!!" The entire team widened their eyes as if they noticed something. All of a sudden, their necks suddenly slid down their bodies.
Meanwhile, the team outside the building got a report. "Sir. We’ve lost contact with our team inside."
"What?!" The captain bit his lips. "Get ready. We’ll have to engage him here. Don’t underestimate him. He is still one of the Tier 6 humans in this town."
The entire team was using the police cars as cover as they aimed at the entrance. People were coming out, not wanting to get involved in this. The police had a problem rescuing them due to the sheer size of the company.
To their surprise, instead of using a single of them as a hostage, Thomas emerged from the building by himself. He said, "What proof do you have? You don’t simply throw around such an accusation. I’m going to sue both the police and the city after this."
"If that’s the case, please follow us to the police station first. This is your warrant. If you’re going to resist, we will have to use force to apprehend you."
"Hah! Do you think I don’t know what you’re planning to do?" Thomas snorted. He glanced at his building. "I have built this empire correctly. To think that a single mistake would destroy the very thing I’ve built in my entire life. And now, no one is bothering to stand beside me and believe your empty accusation."
Thomas’ eyes turned bloodshot.
"Here he comes!" The captain shouted, signaling his team to shoot Thomas down. However, Thomas actually moved right before they shot, his speed surpassing their reaction.
As a result, none of the bullets hit him.
It wasn’t that Thomas was faster than the speed of sound. He simply saw the movements of their fingers and reacted to them.
The police unleashed all the bullets they had, but none of them hit Thomas.
"We can’t hit him."
"Hurry up!"
"Reloading!"
"Shoot him!"
The moment they needed to reload, Thomas sped up, reaching them in a split second.
"You…" The captain punched Thomas in the face, but he was only a Tier 4 human.
Instead of injuring Thomas, what he found was his arm bending in a weird way. "Agggghhhhh!"
"It seems that you don’t understand anything. It’s because of me that we have a power balance. Since you’re planning to eliminate me, I’ll destroy that power balance." Thomas stated coldly.
"Get out of the way!" The captain shouted.
With a single wave of Thomas’ hand, the police cars were split into two as the upper parts were sent flying into the air. In fact, several officers got sliced in their bodies.
The captain managed to block it with his remaining arm, but there was a deep cut mark on it. "Kh."
"You just have proved that you are involved in this beast wave. We can’t forgive traitors of humanity." The captain gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.
"Traitors? None of that matters if all of you die. In the end, the dead tell no tales." Thomas raised his hand, ready to slash the captain down.
The moment he waved his hand down, he heard an aged voice coming from the side.
"Everyone will die, but not today." A cane hit Thomas’ hand from above.
Despite the collision looking weak, the impact produced a shock wave that cracked the ground and almost flipped the cars around them.
Bam!
"!!!" Thomas’ face darkened as he was staring at the figure who had just come. It was an elderly man with a long white beard. He looked thin and required a cane to walk, but his eyes were oozing killing intent.
With a calm expression, the elderly man asked, "What did you say again, youngster?"
"Davian Renvolt." Thomas gritted his teeth.
…
Meanwhile, the Rusth family’s mansion was also sieged by the police. A muscular old man emerged from a car. He was wearing a white shirt and black vest, looking so thigh as they barely covered his muscles.
"Sir Andrew Havenson, please help us."
While taking off his round hat, he inhaled the cigar while saying, "I guess I’m the one who is responsible for taking down that old fox. It’s been so long since I moved around that my muscle has forgotten how to fight."
