Chapter 722:
He sidestepped effortlessly, not even sparing a glance. In one decisive stomp, he shattered the attackerâs leg like snapping a dry twig.
Another man leveled a gun at him. âGo to hell!â he yelled, his voice cracking with fear.
In the blink of an eye, Verruckt was on him. Within seconds, the sleek black gun was already in Verrucktâs grip.
âSo this is what youâre bringing to the table?â he said, his tone calm as he snapped the gunmanâs neck like a dry twig.
Gordonâs voice came through the earpiece, sharp with analysis. âHis speed and strength are beyond human. No amount of training can make someone move like that. If this pace continues, the entire group will be annihilated soon.â
âYouâre not wrong,â Allison replied, her voice steady. âIf the Mafia thought this was enough manpower, they clearly underestimated Verruckt. He wonât even break a sweat tonight.â Gordon caught the underlying meaning in her words.
âYouâre suggesting more reinforcements are on the way?â Allison gave a slight nod.
âKnowing Daniel, Iâm certain this is just the opening act. These guys are meant to tire Verruckt out, wear him down for whatâs coming next.â She spoke with the certainty of experience, her teacherâs lessons etched into her mind. The Mafiaâs cunning was no mystery to her.
Just as she finished her sentence, a flashbang erupted in the distance.

Bangâ
The battlefield was suddenly bathed in light, exposing a grim tableau of corpses and crimson-streaked earth.
âNot good.â Allison instinctively flattened herself against the container, minimizing her silhouette.
Before Verruckt could react, a smoke grenade screamed through the air, hitting him dead-on. It detonated with precision, leaving no time for evasion.
âWhatâs going on?â Gordonâs voice crackled with tension. The surveillance feed was swallowed by an impenetrable white haze.
Allison retreated quickly, her movements calculated as she escaped the smokeâs reach. Only then did she pause.
âChemical weapons,â she said, her tone carrying a sharp edge. âTailor-made for Verruckt. The flashbang was just to light him up like a beacon.â
Her gaze lingered on the swirling smoke in the distance.
âImmortality Pharmaceuticals isnât just playing games tonight â theyâre gunning for his head.â
As the smoke began to thin, the scene revealed itself once more. Twice the number of adversaries now faced Verruckt, their ranks swollen with reinforcements. Despite this, Allison held her ground.
