I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 545

“I still think this is inappropriate. Maybe I should apologize to the person behind me… I heard that he doesn’t like to kill innocent superhumans indiscriminately. Many people have spoken rudely to him and still survived.”

Hearing such unrealistic thoughts from a member of the team, Casper wished he could turn around and twist the head off this guy who was undermining morale.

"Insolent words are one thing, but what is our purpose here?! People act according to their status. The provocations of ordinary people pose no threat to him and can be ignored, because they can't do anything. But who are you?!"

You're a complete idiot with a brain full of shit!

Will taking someone's confidante hostage really make them hesitant to act and give them a chance to survive?

Kasper didn't know that all those who hadn't taken any action and were focused on escaping had been burned to ashes.

Since we've already formed a grudge with them, there's no turning back; we have no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

Snatching chestnuts from the fire! Snatching chestnuts from the fire!
Kasper gritted his teeth, and blood gushed from between them.

From the moment he gained the ability to take on his first commission, he risked his life.

He won his gamble against those eerie and bloodthirsty ghosts, used the ruthless and cunning gangsters as his springboard, and carved out a bloody path among numerous competitors.

Everything is for the sake of success.

He must not fall here!

It doesn't matter if they failed to complete the mission. As long as they can safely escape the enemy's pursuit, they will have broken the myth of Su Fan's inviolability. There will be plenty of people who want to recruit them.

If you win the gamble again, you can obtain wealth and power that you never dared to dream of before.

Thinking of this, Kasper's eyes filled with determination.

"If we all move together, we'll make too many targets. Let's split up and not let them realize our purpose in chasing those two women!"

"Thomas, you take the squad you're usually in charge of and head to the left!"

"Don't overthink it. Once we succeed, you'll all be safe and sound, but you must persevere until then. Trust me!"

Upon hearing this, the man named Thomas's expression changed. At this critical moment, going to distract someone was no different from sending them to their death.

Kasper is ambitious but trustworthy and enjoys an excellent reputation within the team. Given the current negative consequences of disobeying orders, Thomas and his squad have no choice but to trust him and act according to his instructions.

Less than a minute after the group separated from the main force, a thunderclap erupted behind them, a thick pillar of lightning seemingly reaching the heavens and the earth, followed by an orange-red light symbolizing death shining from behind the speeding group.

But the survivors, including Kasper, had no time to grieve for their fallen comrades, because their mission lay ahead.

About fifty meters away from the group, around the corner, a woman in tattered clothes was carrying another person on her back, walking hurriedly.

When Casper and his group spotted her, she happened to be looking in their direction.

The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's positions and purposes.

Chase! (Run!)
The woman's figure vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, but for these superhumans with enhanced bodies, a mere fifty meters was just a matter of a few steps.

They were in dire straits, with their only hope of survival right in front of them, and all the team members, including Kasper, had tears in their eyes.

Forcibly squeezing out a sliver of strength from their exhausted bodies, the group unleashed an incredibly terrifying speed, rounding the corner and catching up with the woman's figure once more!

A woman following behind Casper closed her eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them. "Stop!"

The prey, which had just increased its speed, suddenly stumbled.

The woman's ability is to briefly leave an impression on the other person's mind by making eye contact, thereby achieving a control effect. The higher the level of the target, the less effective it is.

The target of this spell was clearly someone like that; the illusion created by the woman's ability vanished in an instant.

Not only that, the caster himself was completely exhausted due to the backlash, and fell to the ground without any defense. He eventually rolled to the side and was buried by the rubble of the building that was shattered by the lightning behind him, and his fate is unknown.

"Tia!"

Someone in the squad let out a painful sob, clearly grieving for their lost comrade.

However, their steps will not stop; victory is just around the corner!
The target affected by Tia's ability quickly adjusted his center of gravity, but because there was another person on his back, his movements were a beat slower. It was this half beat that shortened the distance between the two sides by more than ten meters.

The paper dolls mentioned in the intelligence report had already been completely destroyed in the previous hunts by other superhumans. As a priestess, she had no ability to resist except for a body enhanced by holy power.

The members of Casper's team had long been focused on researching how to deal with other superhumans.

They are experienced in handling this kind of prey and can catch it with ease!
Without hesitation, Casper leaped into the air and, before his speed had slowed down, clapped his hands together!

The walls of the buildings on both sides of the road ahead suddenly detached from their original structures and rapidly closed towards each other, creating a piercing whistling sound as they moved!

Seeing this, the nun who was carrying her companion and running away had no choice but to stop.

Such attacks could not stop her, but she could not protect the person behind her.

1 seconds!
In the blink of an eye, Casper had already landed in front of the nun and grabbed her by the neck!

That slender, elegant neck, like that of a swan, could easily extinguish a life with the slightest force.

Kasper was absolutely certain that he had completely seized control of the other party's life and death.

Before he could even feel happy, he discovered that less than two meters in front of him stood a completely unfamiliar figure.

The young man with black hair and black eyes looked very young, even making people wonder if he hadn't left school yet. However, the empty street behind him and the constantly falling orange fire rain revealed his identity!
"you……"

Kasper was speechless.

He was clearly the one in control, but now he felt as if his body was being locked onto by countless infrared sights, and even a slightly larger breath would cause bullets to pierce his body from who-knows-where.

Two meters.

At this distance, let alone extraordinary beings, even for ordinary people, killing or taking a life would only take a moment.

Kasper realized that if his actions had been even a millisecond slower, he would have been reduced to ashes!

Thinking of this, he mustered his courage and roared, his voice sharp but his heart weak.

"Step back! Or I'll strangle her!"
