Chapter 23 - E Chapter 22:The Destruction of the Bandit Gang

Lim He: Who paid the money? I'm going to his house to congratulate him on getting rich.

Xuan Lan: The president paid it.

Lim He: What's a president?

Xuan Lan: Are you sure you're a superpower user? You don't even know what a president is?

Lim He: I never went to school.

Xuan Lan: School is for learning knowledge. This is common sense. Simply put—you're just dumb. The president is the highest-ranking person in a team. In a company, he's called the boss. In the underworld, he's called the big boss. And in the superpower base, he's called the president.

Lim He: Oh.

Xuan Lan: If you're here for treatment, then lie down on the bed properly.

Lim He: No need. I'm already fine.

Xuan Lan: Are you sure?

Nurse: What? I don't believe it. You were that badly injured, and now you're suddenly fine? That's an insult to us doctors.

Lim He: Are you a doctor?

Nurse: I don't care about that. Come on, take off your clothes and let me take a look.

Lim He: Wait!

Lim He raised his hand in a stopping gesture.

Lim He: Miss Nurse, this doesn't seem very appropriate. We haven't even properly introduced ourselves yet.

Nurse: No, this is perfectly appropriate.

Lim He: If that's the case, Xuan Lan, come here for a second.

Xuan Lan: What is it?

She walked over to him.

Lim He: Sorry about this.

He suddenly picked Xuan Lan up in his arms.

Xuan Lan: W-What are you doing?!

Then he dashed toward the window.

Xuan Lan: Stop! This is the fourth floor—ahhhhh!

Ignoring her screams, Lim He jumped out.

Lim He: Goodbye, Miss Nurse.

Xuan Lan: Ahhh! Help!

Lim He (inner thoughts): Crap, did I overdo it? I'm actually kind of scared. I should've just taken the stairs. Whatever—Leg Strength Enhancement!

Bang! With a loud crash, Lim He and Xuan Lan landed on the ground.

Lim He & Xuan Lan: We're fine?

Xuan Lan's face suddenly darkened.

Xuan Lan: Lim! He!!!

Lim He: I sense killing intent! But as long as I run fast enough, you won't be able to throw a punch.

Xuan Lan: Are you sure about that?

Lim He!!!

In an alley…

Wei Tian: Pfft… (…I'm coughing up blood again. Though it doesn't feel uncomfortable.)

???: Are you alright?

Wei Tian: I'm fine, Hei Zi.

Back in C City…

Lim He: Ah… a few ribs are broken.

Xuan Lan: If you're fine, I'll be leaving first.

Lim He: Wait, Xuan Lan. I need to tell you something.

Xuan Lan: What is it?

Lim He: Let's create our own team.

Xuan Lan: You mean go to the superpower base and start a faction?

Lim He: No. A team that belongs only to us. A team to fight against the coming apocalypse. We can survive—and grow stronger together.

Xuan Lan: I refuse.

Lim He: But—

Xuan Lan: I'm not joining. That's it.

Lim He: …Alright then. Stay alive.

Xuan Lan (thinking): Is this guy an idiot?

Meanwhile…

Wei Tian stood before a shabby wooden warehouse.

Wei Tian: The bandit gang…

He pushed the door open.

Bandit Leader: Who's there?

Wei Tian: You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I'm the one who's going to kill you.

Bandit Leader: Hahaha, interesting. Boys, come out.

Nearly thirty people suddenly surrounded Wei Tian.

Wei Tian: Is this all of them?

Bandit Leader: Come on then. Kill me if you can.

Wei Tian: Foolish. Hei Zi, make your move.

Boom!

A small explosion suddenly erupted above the warehouse. Since the building was made of wood, even that minor blast caused massive damage. Burning planks began crashing down one after another.

Bandit Leader: What?!

The falling, flaming wood gradually crushed the nearby bandits.

Wei Tian: You've lost.

Hei Zi: Impressive, brother.

Hei Zi jumped down.

Hei Zi: How did you manage not to get hit at all by that explosion?

Wei Tian: I was standing in the center, and the wood above was already about to collapse. I predicted where it would fall—and where the safe spots were.

Hei Zi: I didn't expect you to analyze the terrain the moment you stepped in.

Bandit Leader: I underestimated you. But you don't seriously think I'm dead, do you?

Wei Tian: Hei Zi, leave him to me. I just happen to want to test my current strength.

With a calm expression, Wei Tian walked toward the bandit leader.
