I work as a sorcerer in the US, and my side hustle is building Gundams.

This is Lynn's fifth day in Seattle, USA.

His and Mike's combined assets have exceeded $4500. With only 9 days left until Carlos's debt deadline, they only need to earn another $5500 to pay off the debt.

"But I don't think they'll be that easy to talk to."

Mike had somehow gotten a sweet potato and was skewering it on the front of the heater, roasting it. It was unclear when it would be cooked.

"I don't think so. After all, we already demonstrated my witch doctor skills to him, right? I think they'll need my help again in the future, so I don't think we'll make things too awkward, will we?"

Lynn had just gotten up and was rinsing her mouth in front of a small bucket with a toothbrush, her mouth full of foam.

"Heh, you haven't seen the greed and shamelessness of these gangsters..."

Mike didn't say much, but resignedly threw away the sweet potato that hadn't softened at all after roasting for half an hour, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

He lit his lighter, intending to smoke, but then suddenly remembered that he was indoors and Lynn was very sensitive to and averse to smoke, so he reluctantly put the cigarette back in the pack.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door of their little house.

Who is it?

Mike stood up alertly and shouted loudly.

They have recently gained some fame, and some people who have suffered from drug poisoning or food poisoning have come here seeking their help.

These people usually knock on the door quite lightly, at least not so rudely as to knock loudly.

The fountain gang also bought several mobile phones, so they can call them if they need anything.

"I, Chen, am your landlord!"

A middle-aged man's voice with a Guangdong accent came from outside the door.

"Is there something you need?"

"The wiring is old and needs repair. I've called a repairman, please open the door quickly!"

Mike and Lynn, who had turned around, exchanged a glance, shrugged, and then stepped forward to open the door.

"bump!"

But the moment he unlocked the door and opened it, he was violently knocked to the ground by the door that was suddenly pushed open!

"SPD, hands up!"

Two police officers, dressed in Seattle Police Department dark blue uniforms and wearing hexagonal caps, rushed in with handguns in their hands!

"What the fuxk? SPD?"

Mike was completely stunned and instinctively raised his hands. It seemed that his time on the run had taught him a lesson.

Lynn was a beat too slow to react. With a cup in her left hand and a toothbrush in her right, before she could react, one of the tall and strong policemen grabbed her hands, twisted them behind her back, and pinned her to the ground!

"Hey sir, what's up? What did we do wrong?"

Lynn felt a sharp pain as he was pinned to the ground, his face pressed against the cold earth, and a heavy, pillar-like object pressed against his neck!

"We have received a report that you are illegally possessing firearms. Please cooperate with our search and surrender your weapons!"

The other, slightly shorter policeman, also holding his gun with both hands in a horse stance, aimed at Mike's head and shouted loudly!

[The Skeleton Guards of Stratholme have their eyes on you. Geller and Vincent received a report that you are illegally possessing a firearm, and the informant is none other than Bruno, the mini-boss of the Three-Eyed Mule gang who lured you to Massachusetts Avenue near the bay three days ago to rob you.]

[The two skeleton guards initially had no interest in this, but the latter gave them $1000, which motivated them to retrieve the gun and, incidentally, create a "little accident" of the suspect resisting arrest, so they could rightfully kill you.]

[You will receive a reward for eliminating/defeating/driving them away.]

Holy crap!

After reading this, Lynn felt a chill run down his spine. He naturally remembered the two corrupt cops. Weren't they the same two who bullied Daniel and DeShawn and even tried to kill the former by shoving his head into the mud?

How did I run into those two damn bastards again? And they're here to kill me!

"No, we have no weapons!"

Mike shouted loudly, "Of course they wouldn't be stupid enough to put something so important and dangerous in such a small, cramped space. They had already hidden it in the loose floor tiles under the trash can outside."

But the short policeman ignored him and continued shouting, "Hand over your weapons, NOW!"

"Let me tell you, we have no guns, no weapons!"

Mike shouted excitedly, his voice full of energy, showing he was truly unafraid of being questioned by the two men!

"Requesting backup/Code 3 backup!"

"The suspect is armed with a deadly weapon!"

But the short policeman shouted louder and louder, even pulling out a walkie-talkie clipped to his shoulder and yelling into it!

"Hey, damn it, I already said we don't have guns, you're framing me!"

Seeing that he had already started calling for backup, Mike took a step forward in desperation and shouted his defense again!

"bump!"

"Assaulting a police officer! Assaulting a police officer! The suspect assaulted a police officer, and I was forced to fire in self-defense!"

A loud gunshot rang out in the narrow basement room. Mike was shot in the chest, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground!

"No! Those damned corrupt cops, they're here to kill people!"

Before Lynn could even come up with a solution, the short policeman had already shot Mike, knocking him to the ground, his fate unknown!

"This can't go on, or I'll end up like that! I have to rebel!"

In this life-or-death crisis, Lynn no longer cared about keeping any secrets!

"【Corrosion Spell】!"

With the burly policeman pressing his neck with his knee, Lynn, who was already struggling to breathe, could no longer care about anything else. He raised his left hand and threw a cloud of black mist upwards onto the burly policeman's head!

"what!"

A scream suddenly came from above him!

[Lion King's Power] Potion!

Strength +4!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lynn pulled out a bottle of potion and drank it down, instantly increasing his strength!

With the opponent relaxing the pressure on his knee due to the intense pain, this combination of increased pressure and decreased pressure allowed Lynn to suddenly exert force upwards and flip him to the ground!

"Holy shit! This familiar feeling! Why the hell is the booster's side effects acting up again now?!"

Geller was thrown to the ground, clutching his head in his hands as if he were holding a balloon that had been inflated too much and was about to burst. He rolled around in agony and howled in pain!

"Geller!"

Vincent, who was about to give Mike a few more shots, suddenly saw his partner fall to the ground in such pain. He didn't care about shooting him anymore and immediately rushed forward to kneel down next to Geller, trying to take out the pills from his pocket and put them in his mouth.

"【Corrosion Spell】!"

Lynn, who had been lying on the ground waiting for an opportunity to save himself, was not about to give him a chance. He immediately jumped up, a cloud of black mist rose from his right hand, and threw it hard at the head of the short, corrupt cop!

"Ouch! My head hurts so much, so much, so much!"

Vincent, who had just opened the bottle, immediately covered his head with his hands and rolled around on the ground, scattering the white pills inside.

The two rolled around on the ground frantically, roaring and screaming.

Just like a few days ago when they tried to torture and kill those two homeless black men on the street!

"Damn it, this, this can't be a side effect of the enhancement drug, this, this is, this is witchcraft!"

The burly, black-clad cop was in so much pain that his eyes were bloodshot. The two identical experiences made him seem to suddenly understand something. He mustered all his strength to lift his head and look at the thin white man standing next to him, staring at them angrily.

A few seconds later, in excruciating pain, he finally managed to make out the person's appearance through his barely open eyes!

"You, it was you? Holy shit, I've run into you twice like this! This is your doing, isn't it? Release us now, or I'll fucking shoot you dead!"
