Driven by anticipation for his new abilities, Mark is now highly motivated and unwilling to waste any time collecting Sunlight Points.

Shortly after Mark boarded the plane, he received a call from Jon Financial Law Firm.

A month ago, Mark had commissioned them to investigate and screen suitable small private banks for acquisition.

“Hello Mr. Payne, this is Yamila Jon. We have completed your previous request. Based on your requirements, we have shortlisted three small private banks that meet your criteria. The details have been sent to your email address. Please check them. Once you have finalized your target, we will develop a contingency plan for the acquisition.”

A middle-aged woman's voice came through the phone.

"Okay, I'll let you know once we've chosen our targets."

Mark nodded and hung up the phone.

He turned on his computer and saw the email the other party had sent.

The three banks selected by Jon Financial Law Firm all fit Mark's target, with asset valuations ranging from $5000 million to $8000 million.

After reviewing the materials, Mark chose Carroll Bank as his target.

This bank is located in Los Angeles, and its valuation is probably the lowest among the three banks. Moreover, its debt is clean, with no bad or uncollectible debts.

Although the other party had the fewest depositors, Mark didn't care.

What he wants to build is an online bank, which is primarily for online users; the number of depositors in the real world is not important.

Mark informed Jon Financial Law Firm of his chosen target and entrusted them with the entire task of completing the acquisition.

He had already had Alice hack into Jon's financial law firm's network and wasn't worried that they would secretly steal his money.

Evening arrived quickly, and the plane landed slowly at Tokyo Airport. Mark and the crew found a luxury hotel nearby and checked in.

"Beep beep! Warning, warning, Kirian's heartbeat is abnormal, and he may have fallen into a coma."

Around midnight, Mark suddenly received an alert from Alice.

"Huh? Something's happened to Killian!"

Mark was taken aback and immediately ordered Alice, "Play the recording of Killian before he fell into a coma."

He had previously planted an explosive device on the back of Killian's neck, which combined location tracking, eavesdropping, and signal transmission/reception functions.

Alice immediately played the audio recorded by the bugging device before Killian fell into a coma, as Mark had requested.

"Woo~woo~"

There was no sound of anyone speaking in the recording; only a series of whimpers that seemed to be Killian struggling could be heard before silence fell.

Mark checked the location and found that Killian should have been sleeping at home before he fell unconscious.

At this point, his location had already left his home and was rapidly heading towards the suburbs.

Chapter 80 Fierce Battle

"Notify Grayson to take Ian, Olive, Harumi Aoi, and a security team with him and set out to rescue Killian at all costs!"

Mark gave the order to Alice.

The future research direction of Extremis viruses will be human enhancement, which will inevitably involve Killian.

Moreover, the other party's attack on Killian at this time was likely aimed at extracting the Extremis virus formula from him.

From any perspective, Mark could not allow Killian to be kidnapped!

Grayson quickly received orders and immediately led his men in an armored vehicle to pursue Killian's location.

Following Alice's planned shortest route, Grayson and his team would intercept the other vehicle in 37 minutes.

Perhaps sensing that Killian might have a tracking device on him, the people who arrested him threw all of Killian's bracelet, watch, cell phone, and other items out of the car window.

However, the other party was unaware that there was another tracking device behind Killian's neck.

Therefore, 39 minutes later, Grayson and his team accurately intercepted the black jeep that had hijacked Killian, following the pre-set route.

"boom!"

Neither side would give way, and they collided violently, causing both vehicles to crash into the fields on either side of the road.

Both vehicles had been modified, and neither suffered serious damage after the collision.

"Bang bang bang..."

Grayson rolled off the car and frantically pulled the trigger at the other vehicle.

The other security personnel and Ian's two companions also got out of the car, looked for cover, and opened fire on the other side.

"Da da da……"

Five armed men also got out of the black jeep and took out submachine guns to fight back.

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting, separated by tens of meters.

"Watch out, don't shoot Mr. Killian inside the car!"

Grayson alerted other security personnel via walkie-talkie.

At this time, Killian was still inside the other car, unconscious.

Fortunately, the other vehicle was also armored, so as long as they didn't focus their fire on Killian's position, they shouldn't be able to harm him for the time being.

Just then, the slightly deformed door of the black jeep opposite was suddenly slashed open by a pair of bone claws, and a crew-cut young man pushed open the broken door and stepped out.

He raised his arm with bone claws, crossed it to protect his eyes, and charged towards Grayson and the others with his head down!

"Bang bang bang..."

Grayson and his men fired their guns at the crew-cut youth, causing blood to bloom on his body.

But he seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing his charge without slowing down at all!

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Grayson and the others were shocked by the inhuman behavior of the crew-cut youth!

Although this was their second time fighting mutants, they still found it hard to believe that someone could actually withstand bullets with their bare flesh.

"It's him!"

Upon seeing the crew-cut young man, Ian, Olive, and Harumi Tsangta all felt a pang of anxiety, recalling the scene from six months ago when they were being chased by him.

At that moment, the three of them had almost no power to resist this crew-cut youth.

If Mark hadn't intervened and drawn away their pursuers, the three of them would probably be used as subjects for human experiments by now.

However, now that six months have passed, Ian and his two companions, having undergone training in firearms and various tactics, are no longer the weaklings they once were.

"Kill him!"

Ian, Olive, and Harumi exchanged glances. Without a word, they had already reached the same conclusion!

Not only for revenge, but this crew-cut youth was also a nightmare for them, and they had to shatter it themselves!

Harumi Aota's eyes emitted a faint, seven-colored light, and an invisible wave enveloped the bald-headed youth who was rushing towards her.

The scene before the crew-cut youth changed in an instant, and he couldn't help but change direction as he was charging forward, rushing to the side.

But he quickly stopped, his nostrils twitching slightly, and charged towards Grayson and the others again.

Although there was nothing in front of him, his keen sense of smell told him that the enemy was in this direction!

"Quick! Everyone focus fire on this monster, don't let it charge!"

Grayson gave the order with an anxious expression.

He knew that once the crew-cut youths charged in, they would be powerless against this monster after losing their advantage with firearms!

Just then, Ian bent down and pressed himself to the ground.

"boom!"

A crater two meters in diameter and three meters high suddenly appeared in front of the crew-cut youth.

Caught off guard, the crew-cut youth tumbled head over heels into the pit.

Then, one by one, soil spikes emerged and appeared diagonally above the cave entrance, completely sealing it off!

This is the improvement Ian has achieved by continuously developing his abilities over the past six months.

"Good job!"

Upon seeing this, Grayson's face immediately lit up with joy.

The other security guards also looked at Ian with surprise.

Only then did they realize that Ian, who had suddenly joined their security team, possessed such amazing abilities!

"Olive, hurry! I can't hold him for much longer!"

Ian, however, looked serious and called out to Olive beside him.

At this point, Grayson and the others had lost their line of sight and could only rely on Olive to attack the enemy.

"Swipe!"

At this moment, the flat-headed youth was rapidly swinging his bone claws, easily severing the earth spikes above.

Once he destroys all the soil spikes blocking the entrance, he can use his powerful jumping ability to leap out of the pit.

Without hesitation, Olive put down the long box she had been carrying and quickly assembled the gun body and barrel inside.

A rather oddly shaped gun appeared in her hand.

This is the electromagnetic gun that Mark himself built!

Olive, holding the electromagnetic gun, jumped five or six meters high in an instant.

Through the scope, she aimed the gun at the crew-cut youth inside the crater.

"Zizi..."

The electromagnetic gun emits a loud electrical sound and generates a strong electromagnetic field inside the gun.

The alloy bullets in the magazine are attracted into the barrel by the magnetic field and are fired instantly after multiple accelerations.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the alloy bullet struck the flat-headed youth in the chest almost instantly.

"boom!"

A huge hole exploded in his chest, gushing out a large amount of blood. The bones, internal organs, and even his beating heart inside his chest were clearly visible.

Anyone else would not have survived with such severe injuries.

But the crew-cut youth stubbornly refused to fall, and the wound on his chest was healing rapidly at a visible speed.

"This guy's mutant abilities are terrifying; he's practically an unkillable monster!"

Olive's expression changed slightly. She jumped up again and fired two more shots at the crew-cut youth.

One shot hit the opponent in the back, and the other shot hit the opponent in the shoulder.

Both shots caused serious injuries to the other person, but neither was fatal.

What's even more frightening is that these injuries are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Chapter 81 Killing X-8

At this point, the barrel of the electromagnetic gun was already glowing red.

Olive can fire a maximum of two more shots before she has to stop and allow the gun to cool down; otherwise, barrel deformation will cause a sharp drop in shooting accuracy.

But the crew-cut youth trapped below clearly wouldn't give her that time.

"Therefore, I must finish him off completely within two shots!"

Olive's expression turned serious as she quickly began to think of ways to deal with the other party.

She recalled how the crew-cut youth always crossed his arms to shield his eyes when facing gunfire, and it suddenly dawned on her: "I know, his fatal weakness is his eyes!"

However, the other person kept their head down most of the time, and their arms were always ready to protect their eyes, making it difficult for Olive to hit their eyes.

"Ian! This monster's weakness is its eyes. I need your help!"

Olive spoke to Ian over the walkie-talkie.
