I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan didn't follow David immediately; instead, he ran into the apartment.

Instead, she looked towards the second-floor window that David had just looked up at.

He aimed at the second floor and pushed off the ground with both legs!

Then, take a running start, accelerate, and leap into the air!

The strong physical fitness after the job change

This allowed Li Yuan to instantly jump to a position between the first and second floors.

Li Yuan gripped the windowsill of David's house tightly with both hands.

With a powerful push of his arms, he flipped himself into the house!

'Plop'

The moment Li Yuan entered the room, alarm bells went off in his mind.

He rolled away alertly and quickly hid behind the furniture.

Bang bang bang!

Just after Li Yuan concealed himself,

Three bullets were fired instantly at the spot where Li Yuan had just landed.

"Ah! Help—!"

Trish was being held in the arms of the murderer.

Hearing the loud gunshots, she immediately let out a piercing scream.

At this moment, David, who had run to the door, also stopped.

He pulled out his pistol, leaned against the door, and peered inside.

But in an instant, a rapidly approaching bullet forced him to shrink back, not daring to even raise his head!

David brushed away the smoke and dust in front of him and spoke from outside the door, putting pressure on the situation:

"Damn it! John Du, drop your weapon! You're surrounded!"

Inside the room, facing John who was attacking from both sides, he remained completely calm.

He held Trish in his arms and said slowly and deliberately:

"Hehe, that's amazing. I never expected you to come looking for me."

At this moment, William and Edward also ran up.

William spoke calmly from outside the door, offering his advice:

"John, I can keep everyone outside still. Let her go, and we can have a proper talk."

While William was trying to persuade him, David was also gripping his gun and taking deep breaths in an attempt to calm down.

His wife was the one who could be taken hostage.

David couldn't control his emotions at all; he was trembling all over.

John ignored William's advice.

Instead, he gently stroked Trish's face in his arms:

"David, I really envy your family, even to the point of being jealous."

He looked at Trish, who was trembling in his arms, and continued:

"You have a good wife."

David could no longer contain his inner turmoil, and he shouted:

"You shameless bastard, you scum! Let go of Trish!"

John, hearing David's shouts and curses, suddenly smiled with satisfaction:

"Hahaha! Yes, that's it."

He slowly pressed the gun against Trish's head.

Then, with a meaningful tone, he said loudly:

"David, remember to maintain this anger."

As he spoke, he slowly exerted force with his right hand, about to pull the trigger!

At this critical moment,

John, who was smiling, suddenly felt his head...

It felt like being hit by a sledgehammer.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over me, followed by a complete blackout.

Along with Tracy in his arms, there was a "plop."

It fell straight to the ground and remained motionless.

"Ah—! David, come in quick, he's fainted!"

Trish, who had been tackled, screamed again.

She called out David's name, hoping her husband would come in and help.

Upon hearing this, David immediately drew his gun and slipped inside.

They discovered that John had indeed fainted on the ground.

He strode quickly to John's side, gun in hand.

He kicked the gun next to him away.

He then pulled his wife, Tracy, out from under the man.

"That damn bastard!"

David took the opportunity to kick John.

At this moment, Li Yuan also slowly walked from the window to John's side.

He glanced at John lying on the ground and curled his lip.

I thought I'd encounter a different kind of Seven Deadly Sins.

Unexpectedly, the other party was just an ordinary religious fanatic.

In that critical moment, he used the [Hammer of Retribution].

They barely managed to save Tracy from her impending death.

At that moment, William and Edward, who were outside the door, also walked in.

William looked at Li Yuan and said gratefully:

"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Li."

He knew very well that the prisoner wouldn't faint for no reason.

Li Yuan must have done something.

"It's nothing, just remember to pay the balance."

Li Yuan felt a little bored. He dusted off the wall dust that had gotten on his clothes.

He led Edward downstairs.

But just as his figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs...

John, who was lying on the ground, suddenly twitched his eyelids.

This bizarre scene went unnoticed.

William was on the phone contacting the station, while David comforted his wife in his arms.

But just then, Li Yuan suddenly returned.

William looked at Li Yuan who had returned and asked curiously:

"Mr. Li, don't worry, the bonus will be sent to you as soon as it's available."

Li Yuan looked at William seriously and said:

"I want to kill him, is that okay?"

The three people inside the room froze on the spot, completely petrified, upon hearing the words uttered by Li Yuan.

Is this a case of killing someone in front of the police?

Even if it's a criminal, it wouldn't be appropriate...

William said somewhat awkwardly:

"This...is not in accordance with the rules..."

"I can waive half the cost for you."

Li Yuan looked intently at William; he desperately wanted to kill the prisoner.

Li Yuan was really curious about what level of villain this guy could be rated as.

William and David exchanged a glance and said with difficulty:

"He... woke up and suddenly resisted arrest and was shot dead... What happened?"

"I knew you'd have a way."

Li Yuan winked at William, then snatched the pistol from David.

He decisively pulled the trigger toward John's head!

"Bang--!"

After being shot, John Du's body jerked violently and then fell completely still.

[Ding! Killed C-level villain: Zealot John Du! Gained 5 Holy Light Points and 50 Experience Points!]

Hearing the notification sound in his ear, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He took out a handkerchief, wiped the fingerprints off the pistol, and handed it back.

"Detective David has excellent marksmanship!"

Li Yuan patted David on the shoulder.

He then ignored the expressions on the faces of the three men and walked out on his own.

David gripped the pistol and muttered to himself:

"I think he's a madman too."

At the same time in hell, an angry roar rose to the heavens:

"Damn it! So close! Those bastards deserve to die!"

The low-ranking demons surrounding the demon territory lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, not daring to make a sound.

At that moment, an elegant and calm voice suddenly rang out:

"Shut up."

"Yes, sir..."

The guy who had just roared immediately went limp.

Li Yuan and Edward hailed a taxi on the street, intending to return to the firm.

However, just as the two got into the taxi, Li Yuan's phone rang.

Li Yuan answered the phone casually:

Hello.

A woman's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello Li Yuan, I'm Pepper, do you remember me?"

Li Yuan was taken aback by the question.

It took me a while to recall the image of the curly-haired girl.

She was one of the two women whom Li Yuan rescued from Leatherface.

"Oh! It's Pepper, I remember her!"

Li Yuan smiled to cover his embarrassment, then changed the subject and asked:

"Is there something you need?"

"Um... I happen to be in Los Angeles, and I was thinking of inviting you to dinner. Is that convenient for you?"

"Sure! Hehe, where are you? I'll come pick you up."

Pepper gave her location: a hostel in the city center.

That's basically the cheapest hotel in Los Angeles.

After returning to the firm, Li Yuan parted ways with Edward and went to pick up Pepper alone.

Before leaving, Edward couldn't resist teasing Li Yuan:

"I'm telling you, you're always messing around outside, be careful you don't catch a disease."

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Edward and gave him the middle finger:

"You'd better watch yourself, bye!"

He then started the car and drove towards the city center.
