"FCUK!"

boom!

With a powerful flick of his wrist, Wesley, in bullet mode, clearly saw the 9mm bullet hurtling straight toward Firefox.

Just when he was about to despair, the bullet suddenly veered off course, grazing Firefox's hair before finally striking the target on the wall.

"Hahaha, kid, you did it!" Sloan couldn't help but burst into laughter, even patting Wesley on the shoulder with some excitement.

Gunsmith and Firefox laughed at the same time; Wesley had not let them down after all their hard work.

"Damn it..." Wesley was not happy at all. He was leaning on the table with both hands, barely able to stand, and was almost exhausted.

"Now you finally have the strength to rival Kroos," Sloan said.

"I'll give you three days to solidify your skills. After three days, we have a big operation."

With that, Sloan left with the gunsmith, leaving only the gentle and charming older sister, Fiery Fox, who was still taking good care of Wesley, filling him with renewed strength after he was exhausted.

However, what no one noticed was that there was an ear and an eye hanging on the wall, which listened to all their conversations and watched all their actions.

As Sloan and the gunsmith left, the ears and eyes quietly transformed into flower petals and disappeared.

……

Ten minutes ago, on the overpass

thump!

Cao Gui jumped off the bridge and plunged into the Hakensak River: "System, exchange and equip the character card: Octopus Xiao Ba!"

[To exchange for the Octopus Xiaoba character card, 200 merit points are required. Please confirm.]

"confirm!"

[Host equipped with character card: Octopus Hachi, effective time 300 seconds]

Hachi, one of Arlong's executives, fought Zoro during the battle in Cocoyasi Village, using six swords as weapons, and his fighting ability was decent.

However, Cao Gui didn't equip this character card because of his combat ability, but because he valued his octopus-man identity.

With a sudden push of his feet, Cao Gui, underwater, transformed into an arrow released from a bow, swimming swiftly towards Textile Factory No. 17.

However, before he even got close, Cao Gui noticed several sensors flashing red light. Sure enough, the defenses were very tight.

Thanks to the unique nature of the Little Octopus Man, Cao Gui accurately bypassed all the sensors without triggering any alarms. Fortunately, the Brotherhood wasn't so heartless as to install landmines or bounding mines, which are deadly weapons.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This is America's core territory. If someone dares to illegally install this kind of thing, then America can probably go to its grave.

Before long, Cao Gui arrived at the base of the wall, reached out and pressed his hand against it. Suction cups kept emerging from his palm, firmly fixing Cao Gui to the wall.

Using both hands and feet, Cao Gui quickly climbed onto the wall of Textile Factory No. 17.

This spot, facing the river, is the steepest part of the entire textile factory; practically no one comes here.

Upon arriving here, Cao Gui took a deep breath. Originally, he wanted to equip himself with the character card of a transparent fruit user to explore the area, but after seeing the pair of sensors underwater, Cao Gui felt that this was not a good idea.

The effect of the transparent fruit is only optical invisibility, and it may not be able to fool so many sensors. Cao Gui kept sliding his finger on the character card column, he needed to find a suitable character card again.

A moment later, a profile picture caught Cao Gui's eye.

Nico Robin (Dark-skinned and unattractive version)

The dark-skinned, ugly version?

Cao Gui muttered to himself, "Come on, she wore stockings and garter belts even when she was dark-skinned, how was that ugly... although she does look a little better when she's fair-skinned than when she's dark-skinned."

"System, exchange and equip the character card: Nico Robin."

[To exchange for the Nico Robin (Dark-skinned and Ugly Version) character card, 800 Merit Points are required. Please confirm.]

"confirm!"

[Host equipped character card: Nico Robin (dark-skinned and ugly version), effective time 300 seconds]

With his new ability acquired, Cao Gui didn't hesitate. He placed his hands on the wall: "Ability... Fully activated!"

Suddenly, eyes sprouted from the wall and stretched into the distance.

Cao Gui knew nothing about the terrain here, so he could only use the most rudimentary carpet search method. But Cao Gui wasn't stupid; he would glance at any place that wasn't worthwhile and then leave.

The weapons room is useless; the college dormitory is useless; the textile factory workshop is useless.

As Cao Gui's gaze extended further and further, it became increasingly difficult for him to control his abilities. But perseverance pays off, and Cao Gui finally found Sloan in an underground shooting range.

Not only Sloan, but also Wesley, Firefox, and a black man.

"..."

Under Cao Gui's watchful eye, Wesley learned gunfighting, and his conversation with Sloan reached Cao Gui's ears.

"Three days later?"

"A major operation?"

Cao Gui stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming: "A major operation by Wesley must be aimed at the cross. Why is this old black man suddenly in such a hurry? Shouldn't he find a couple of ordinary people for Wesley to practice on?"

Upon realizing this, Cao Gui's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of crisis lingered in his mind.

------------

Chapter 20 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

It's clear that the Brotherhood is planning to take action against the cross!

Once the threat of the cross is gone, and the Brotherhood can free up its resources, we'll be in big trouble.

Although Cao Gui can eliminate the attacking assassins by using character cards, it still comes down to the fact that the effort and reward are not proportional.

Cao Gui's lips twitched slightly. This damned old black man, why is he not playing by the rules at all? Shouldn't he have been angry and attacked him hard, continuously feeding him kills?

Why the sudden change of target?

Swish swish swish~

Countless eyes turned into petals and scattered. The character card's time limit had expired. Cao Gui glanced at the No. 17 textile factory in the night, without lingering, and jumped over the wall.

But instead of freefalling as expected, he gradually drifted toward the distant overpass.

[Host equipped with character card: Miss. Valentine's Day, valid for 360 seconds]

This character card cost Cao Gui 300 merit points.

The situation has changed, and Cao Gui has had to abandon his original idea of ​​bleeding the Brotherhood dry. The only way now is to join forces with the Cross.

However, before joining forces, he wanted to collect some interest from the Brotherhood; the merit points he had spent today had to be borne by the Brotherhood.

……

Three days passed in a flash, and Wesley lived up to expectations by consolidating his gunfighting skills. Now, he can handle gunfighting with ease, and his record is firing five curved bullets in one go.

In this respect alone, Wesley is already on par with other top assassins, but it's unknown whether this record has caused any damage to his body.

night.

Firefox led Wesley out of Textile Factory No. 17. This was the first time Wesley had left the complex in the past month and a half.

The two drove to an old apartment building under a light rail bridge, which was Wesley's former home.

"Five minutes." Firefox leaned against the door frame, her bright eyes gentle and tender, seemingly very proud of Wesley at this moment.

"Two minutes will be enough," Wesley laughed. They were just a pair of scoundrels; he no longer cared about them.

“Okay.” Looking at the confident Wesley, Firefox’s eyes softened even more.

With battle imminent, the two's mission is to retrieve Wesley's prized possessions, such as his mother's photograph, his father's pistol, and his pet cat named Annabelle.

Thank goodness Annabelle is just a pet cat; if she were a plush toy… that would be quite a scene.

Bang bang, tie it up!

Wesley slammed his fist against the door.

"Shit, who is it?!"

With a click, the door, secured by a security chain, opened a crack, revealing Star-Lord's face in Barry.

Upon seeing Wesley's gloomy face, Barry immediately burst into laughter:

"Hey Wesley, where have you been these past few weeks? I miss you, bro."

With a fake smile, Star-Lord-like Barry had been the object of Wesley's affections for weeks, and his girlfriend had taken on Barry's guise.

No, even before Wesley disappeared, his girlfriend was already in the shape of Barry.

Hearing Barry's insincere concern and address, Wesley's expression turned cold. He kicked the door, breaking the security chain and hitting Barry in the face at the same time.

Wesley shook his hand and walked into the house he hadn't seen for weeks with a look of disdain.

However, neither Firefox nor Wesley noticed that at the end of the hallway by the door, a brand-new surveillance camera had captured everything.

From a car two streets away, Cao Gui could see everything clearly through his phone screen; he had already guessed what was going to happen.

What do you do after a loser's comeback? Of course, you find the people who bullied you before and give them a good beating!

Inside the room, Wesley picked up a photograph from the bedside table, then went straight into the bathroom and took his "father's" pistol from the water tank.

However, Casey felt no joy at seeing her "boyfriend" return: "Look who's back, you piece of shit bastard."

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Who do you think you are? You're nothing, you're nobody."

"You can't even match half of what Barry did for me. You can't imagine how good Barry was to me."

When the woman opened her mouth, it was like countless flies buzzing and snarling, with vicious and offensive language constantly escaping from her lips. Even the fox outside the door couldn't help but frown.

Wesley remained unmoved, packed up his pistol, and prepared to leave, only to see Firefox walk in confidently.

Under Wesley's puzzled and surprised gaze, Firefox put her arms around his neck and gave him a deep and tender French kiss.

"Wesley, who is she? Your new girl? Damn, she's a bitch, isn't she?"

Unfortunately, Wesley and Firefox were so engrossed in their own world that they completely ignored her.

Stepping out of the apartment, Wesley felt as if he had been transported to another world. The passionate kiss from the goddess made him feel lightheaded, as if he had wasted the past twenty-odd years of his life.

The two held hands intimately, but Wesley was a little unsteady on his feet. The rush of blood to his head made him feel dizzy and lightheaded, and he needed to catch his breath.

"Are you ok?"
