America's Greatest Villain: I Defeat Magic with Magic

Chen Yuan, wearing an orange hoodie, walked silently down the deserted street.

It was already late at night, and the old and dilapidated streetlights in the South District were dim, only illuminating a small section of the road ahead.

At this time of day, a decent person would never casually wander around the area.

Occasionally, groups of two or three people can be seen along the roadside, including young people in their early twenties and elderly people in their fifties or sixties.

They came in all colors, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all homeless.

Those with slightly better conditions set up tents by the roadside or on park lawns, while those in worse circumstances simply wrapped themselves in cardboard they had found and slept on the ground.

Although winters in Los Angeles are not particularly cold, nighttime temperatures still hover around ten degrees Celsius.

For homeless people who are having too much fun, this temperature could be deadly.

Perhaps tomorrow morning, their remains will be collected by special vehicles like garbage.

Of course, these "parts" that are deeply contaminated by chemicals will ultimately not fetch a high price.

In the past, Chen Yuan would never have dared to go out at times like this.

But tonight is different.

After a brief period of research, he had basically figured out the function of the "American Villain System".

Simply put: do what villains do to earn villain points.

These points can be used to exchange for US dollars, enhance personal attributes, or even exchange for skills.

A few hours earlier, he brandished a gun and "threatened" three gangsters who came to collect loan sharks. The system judged this as an evil act and generously rewarded him with 30 points.

He converted 10 points into $1000 for emergency use, and added the remaining 20 points to the [Agility] attribute.

One villain point can be exchanged for 0.01 attribute points, thus increasing [Agility] by 0.2.

As an Asian student who was engrossed in his studies, Chen Yuan's physical fitness was unremarkable, with all indicators at a standard 1.0.

With this 0.2 point added, Agility jumps to 1.2.

Don't underestimate this 20% improvement.

This means that his 100-meter sprint time has been reduced from the usual 14 seconds to 11.6 seconds, which is comparable to some professional track and field athletes.

More importantly, the body's coordination and reaction speed also undergo a qualitative change.

Chen Yuan walked quickly past a bar, glancing out of the corner of his eye at a few black men at the entrance.

Almost simultaneously, the other party also noticed this idiot who was still wandering around late at night.

Hey! Yellow-skinned monkey!

One of them immediately recognized Chen Yuan as the gold-toothed man who had been "threatened at gunpoint" not long ago.

He immediately leaned close to a tall, thin Black man next to him and whispered in his ear:

"Johnny, this is the guy who pointed a gun at me just now, which is why we didn't get our money back tonight!"

The tall, thin black man who was reported by the gold-toothed man was none other than the notorious "Mad Dog Johnny" in the area.

He glanced coldly at Chen Yuan, then strode over.

"Hey kid, stop right there!"

The man with the gold teeth and several of his men immediately followed, their arrogance reaching its peak.

After all, at night, this area is their gang's private territory.

Knowing that Chen Yuan might have a gun, Johnny kept one hand in his hoodie pocket the whole time.

Years of gang warfare have given Johnny a great deal of confidence.

If Chen Yuan dares to make any unusual move, his gun will only fire faster!

As Johnny and the gold-toothed man drew closer, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.

Above the foreheads of the two black men, a pale red virtual panel suddenly popped up out of thin air.

The gold-toothed man's panel clearly stated:

[Target: Marcus (nickname Gold Tooth)]

Age: 24

[Recent crime: Three hours ago, a young Pakistani man was assaulted in an apartment building on 5th Street.]

The panel above the other person's head reads:

[Target: Johnny (nickname: Mad Dog)]

Age: 31

[Recent criminal act: Half an hour ago, harassed a female server who was leaving get off work at the Pink Flamingo Bar.]

Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Could this suddenly revealed private information also be some kind of hidden function of the villain's system?

However, he no longer had time to think.

Marcus and Johnny had closed to within ten meters of each other.

In the dead of night on the streets of Los Angeles, confronting a group of armed desperados is clearly unwise.

Therefore, Chen Yuan made the most logical choice.

run!

He turned around abruptly, and like an orange whirlwind, ran wildly back the way he came.

"Chase!"

Johnny grinned maliciously and waved his hand to give the order.

Although Chen Yuan got off to a fast start, Johnny saw it as nothing more than a death throes.

In this neighborhood, no one has ever escaped the teeth of a rabid dog.

Moreover, that orange hoodie was practically a mobile lighthouse in the dark, making it impossible to lose track of.

The wind whistled in my ears.

Chen Yuan felt an unprecedented speed.

Enhancing his agility gave his legs explosive power, making each push off the ground light and powerful.

But as the cold air continued to rush into his lungs, he soon felt a burning pain in his chest.

After all, adding points only improves agility; constitution remains a weakness.

His biggest weakness right now is his lack of stamina. If he gets bogged down in a long-distance run, he'll eventually be overtaken by the gang members who fight in the streets every day.

But this was part of his plan.

A dark alleyway appeared ahead, and Chen Yuan went in without hesitation.

After running a few dozen meters, his steps began to falter, and his breathing became increasingly heavy, as if he had reached the limit of his physical strength.

At the same time, two dark figures rushed into the alley.

Although the other black guys fell behind, the leader, Mad Dog Johnny, and Gold Tooth Marcus kept chasing after them.

As they watched their prey grow weaker before them, cruel smiles appeared on their faces.

"Be careful when you do it later."

Johnny gave the order to Marcus beside him.

"These yellow-skinned monkeys that don't take drugs are valuable from head to toe; they could be sold separately for a lot of money."

However, at that moment, Chen Yuan, who had already reached the alley exit, suddenly stopped.

He turned around quickly and raised his right hand.

There were no streetlights in the alley; only the shop signs at the alley entrance cast a faint glow.

In the dim light, Johnny vaguely sensed that Chen Yuan was holding a dark, strip-shaped object, which was pointing at the two of them.

It's a gun?!

Johnny's years in the gang had instilled in him a conditioned reflex.

He pulled an M1911 from his pocket with lightning speed and, without any hesitation, pulled the trigger.

Get started first!

"Bang!"

A dazzling burst of fire shot from the muzzle.

Almost the instant Johnny raised his hand, Chen Yuan, who was prepared, threw himself to the side with all his might.

Agility 1.2 played a crucial role at this moment.

Although his posture was somewhat awkward, he successfully avoided the bullet that was originally aimed at his chest.

He then rolled away and quickly disappeared behind a huge metal trash can.

Johnny missed his shot and was about to rush in for a follow-up shot when he suddenly froze in place.

To his horror, he saw a blinding red and blue light flashing at the exit of the alley!

Surprisingly, an LAPD patrol car was blocking the alley entrance.

Johnny had no idea that Chen Yuan's house was just across the street, so he knew very well that the patrol car had been parked there every night recently, and the occasional flashing police lights made it hard for him to fall asleep.

Therefore, this "escape route" was a trap that Chen Yuan had carefully designed before setting off.

In addition, Chen Yuan had been blocking the alley entrance, so Johnny only saw the patrol car at this moment!

The bullet he fired just now hit the driver's side door of the patrol car.

"Shots fired! Shots fired!"

A police officer yelled as he pushed open the car door and saw two menacing-looking black men standing in the alley.

The leader was holding a pistol.

In free America, this would be suicidal.

The officers immediately used the car door as cover, drew their Glock pistols, and fired a rapid burst of shots at Johnny.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The other officer in the passenger seat was even more ruthless. He pulled a Remington shotgun from the weapon rack behind him, opened the car door, lay on the hood, and pulled the trigger into the narrow alley.

"boom!"

A dense barrage of bullets swept across the entire alleyway like a torrential downpour.

In just over ten seconds, the pistol and shotgun emptied their magazines.

However, the two officers did not stop firing. They simultaneously changed to new magazines and fired another round!

Poor Johnny didn't even have time to throw away his weapon and surrender before he was riddled with bullets by the fierce firepower.

The narrow alley offered no escape, and not only Johnny, but also Marcus, the gold-toothed man behind him, fell into a pool of blood, completely dead.
