Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The bullet shot out, and a dazzling spark flew from the muzzle.

"Go to hell!"

Tang Wei roared, releasing all the pent-up frustration and despair that had been building up inside him.

The instant his finger pulled the trigger, countless thoughts flashed through Tang Wei's mind.

Actually, he had a much better option.

He could use a feint, pretending to attack Amber, while secretly sniping the white-haired girl playing the flute on the rooftop.

This plan is very safe and has a very high success rate.

As long as he kills the girl, he can complete the task William assigned him, successfully complete the mission, and save his own life.

But the ensuing consequences made him instantly abandon the idea.

What's the point of killing someone to cover it up and delivering a perfect report?

Amber was there and saw everything clearly. She witnessed him committing murder and would definitely arrest him immediately.

Once on trial, with conclusive evidence of intentional homicide, he will undoubtedly die.

At this moment, Tang Wei was completely caught in a dilemma.

If he retreats or fails to complete his mission, William will not let him go; he will surely die.

Whether he completes the mission, kills the girl, is punished by Amber according to the law, or is destined to die.

There was no way forward or backward; death was inevitable either way.

What really blew him away was that Amber kept pressing him the whole time.

Each sarcastic remark and repeated pressure relentlessly shattered his psychological defenses, leaving him breathless.

The overwhelming pressure completely shattered Tang Wei's rationality. Without further hesitation, he aimed at Amber and fired the bullet.

The instant the gunshot rang out, Tang Wei's extremely tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his muddled mind instantly cleared.

He really did shoot Amber.

But he showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he remained incredibly calm.

Because he knew that this was his only way out of the predicament, his only path to survival in this desperate situation.

Amber is an S-class superhuman, with a powerful physique and terrifying strength.

No matter how powerful his sniper bullet was, it could never kill her.

The nature of this shot changed instantly.

It wasn't intentional homicide, but intentional injury.

They committed the same crime and were punished the same way, but they completely avoided the death penalty.

At most, he'll be imprisoned in a mermaid prison for a few years.

With the Tang family's connections and wealth, they could easily smooth things over with their connections, not only reducing his sentence but also ensuring that his time in prison wouldn't be too difficult.

In a single thought, he turned an unsolvable deadlock into a miraculous recovery.

Tang Wei thought about it more and more clearly, and his mind was completely at ease.

In addition, he also considered the deeper pros and cons.

The highly anticipated Music God Festival in the Mermaid Kingdom is about to begin.

William is ambitious and will stop at nothing to win the championship.

Tonight's assassination mission is not the end, but only the beginning.

Even if he disregards everything tonight and perfectly kills the flute-playing girl, leaving no evidence and completing a perfect crime.

Even afterward, William would continue to manipulate and exploit him relentlessly.

He will only be assigned more dirty and insidious assassination missions from now on.

There's even a high probability that William will actually send him to assassinate the noble Princess Doria next time.

The endless dirty work will eventually lead to his death on a mission, or he will be silenced by William.

Rather than living in constant fear of death, it's better to voluntarily go to prison.

He spent a few years in prison, which conveniently allowed him to avoid the entire music festival.

He not only saved his own life but also completely escaped all of William's insidious orders.

Saving oneself from a desperate situation is a win-win situation.

At that moment, Tang Wei even secretly admired himself.

He actually came up with the most perfect solution to this seemingly hopeless situation, which is simply brilliant.

However, Tang Wei's wishful thinking was laughable and naive in Amber's eyes.

As Amber watched the high-speed bullet flying towards her, a chilling glint flashed in her eyes.

Without dodging or flinching, she raised her hand to grab at the rapidly approaching bullet.

A crisp, light sound rang out.

She held the powerful sniper bullet firmly in her bare hand.

Amber slowly opened her fair palm, and the bullet, spinning rapidly and burning hot from friction, lay quietly in her hand.

Tang Wei was shocked to see this.

These are sniper rifle bullets! Not ordinary handgun bullets!

Powerful enough to pierce a steel plate, yet someone caught it with their bare hands?

After the initial shock, the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished completely, and he felt even more grateful that his choice was absolutely correct.

He let out a long breath, suppressing all his emotions, and stared coldly at Amber.

"Amber, I admit you're an S-rank extraordinary powerhouse. This shot of mine won't kill you!"

"But you listen to me!"

Tang Wei suddenly raised his voice, almost roaring, the sound echoing throughout the night sky.

"I, Tang Wei, am a man with a temper! Even if you are a musical genius admired by all, or the noble heir of the An family, I am not afraid."

"My repeated concessions weren't because I was afraid of you, but simply because I didn't want to cause trouble! Don't take me for a pushover!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked furious and crazed, as if he had been completely enraged.

But only he knew that it wasn't anger.

This is a release that has been suppressed for a long time.

He was fed up with William's manipulation and Amber's condescension.

Taking advantage of this confrontation, he vented all his pent-up frustrations.

After a roar, Tang Wei felt completely refreshed, and all the pressure in his heart vanished.

He stared coldly at Amber, his face expressionless, but his mind was racing.

Arrest me!

Arrest me and put me in jail right now!

Sentence me to a few years in prison and let me live a peaceful life away from all this!

A gentle evening breeze blew, and the melodious sound of a flute from a distant rooftop lingered without ceasing.

Amber looked down at the bullet in her palm and remained silent for a long time.

She looked up at Tang Wei, her tone devoid of any emotion.

"Tang Wei, for intentional assault, is sentenced to more than three years in prison according to the laws of the Mermaid Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wei remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

That's right! That's exactly it!

Conviction, arrest, trial, imprisonment!

Three years is a minimum, which is perfectly acceptable!

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Amber's icy voice rang out again.

"You have attacked royalty in public and shown contempt for the law, which makes your crime even more serious."

Tang Wei's expression suddenly changed.

He almost forgot this rule!

The laws of the Mermaid Kingdom are strict, with vastly different punishments for harming civilians and attacking nobles.

Attacking nobles will result in far more severe punishment.

After a brief moment of panic, he forced himself to calm down.

He didn't know exactly how many years his sentence would be increased by one degree, but he was absolutely certain—he wouldn't die.

Even if he were sentenced to ten or twenty years, let alone a few more years, he would be willing to accept it.

As long as I can live, as long as I can get away from William, it's all worth it.

Just when Tang Wei thought victory was assured, Amber said something that sent chills down his spine.

"Therefore, I now have the right to cut off your tail and send you to jail."

"What?" Tang Wei's face turned pale and then purple in an instant, his expression filled with disbelief.

What do you mean you want to break my tail?

Amber was too lazy to waste words with him, giving him no time to think or explain.

With a sudden jerk of her wrist, the sniper bullet in her palm shot out with terrifying force, slamming into the middle of Tang Wei's tail!

Bang!

A dull, loud bang rang out.

Tang Wei's strong coccyx was directly smashed and broken!

The excruciating pain instantly swept over my entire body, as if my tendons and bones were being torn apart.

His body went limp, and he curled up on the ground, clutching his broken tail tightly with both hands. His face was contorted with pain, and cold sweat instantly soaked his entire body.

"Aaaaaah! My tail!"

"My tail broke off!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the night.

Seeing his pathetic, wailing, and agonizing state, Amber showed no pity whatsoever.

"Serves you right."

Immediately afterwards, Amber's palm surged with magic as she slowly walked towards Tang Wei on the ground.

The footsteps were like a heavy hammer, each step striking Tang Wei's heart.

Overwhelmed by fear and excruciating pain, Tang Wei twisted his body desperately, retreating in a disheveled state.

His voice trembled, his face filled with terror: "W-what else do you want to do?!"

Amber repeated calmly, "I'll break your tail."

Tang Wei completely broke down, roaring hoarsely, "My tail is broken! You broke it!!"

Faced with his frantic questioning, Amber parted her red lips and uttered a sentence that sounded like a devil's whisper.

"I know."

"I'll heal your tail first, and then I'll continue breaking it."

boom!

These words struck Tang Wei like a thunderbolt.

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Heal it first, then interrupt it?

This is not an aggravated crime; this is blatant torture!

At this moment, on the rooftop.

Chu Ge, who had been playing the flute with his eyes closed, clearly heard Amber's extremely cold words.

The melodious flute music suddenly stopped.

She slowly opened her eyes, a hint of curiosity appearing in them.

She wanted to see what methods Amber would use to heal her injuries.

Is it a healing technique? Or time reversal?

On the ground, Tang Wei stared intently at the approaching Amber, his heart filled with endless regret.

What I thought was a flawless and perfect plan now seems incredibly foolish and laughable.

If he had known he would end up in such a miserable state, he would have preferred to have died right then and there.

It's better than being tortured at will now.

Overwhelmed by extreme fear, Tang Wei screamed hysterically as Amber drew ever closer.

"Don't come any closer!!"
