People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

"If I have to hesitate even when saving someone because of my position as sheriff, then I'd rather not be a sheriff at all!"

Bang! The door slammed shut, the police badge still spinning on the table.

Old Ross shook his head with a wry smile.

In a corner where no one could see, a ruthless glint was hidden in his eyes.

..............................

"What did you do?" Mu Bai grabbed Butler by the collar and lifted him up. "Did you plant explosives underground too?"

"More terrifying than dynamite, hehehehe..." Butler laughed sinisterly, as if to say, "If I don't live, you'll die too."

"You people... never mind, it doesn't matter."

Mu Bai shook his head, trying to maintain his balance on the violently shaking floor, and then took out handcuffs to cuff the other person.

"I'm not interested in knowing what you're going to do; I just want to know what you've done."

"I'm asking you, were the previous robot shooting incident and the cyborg bodyguards around Joseph your doing?"

"Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist... be shot on the spot."

"I did it, so what?" Butler was still laughing. He admitted it not out of fear, but out of a sense of recklessness, wanting to provoke the young man in front of him.

"I'll do things if someone pays me. Your worthless lives aren't even worth two gold bars, understand? Hahaha..."

"Oh." Mu Bai nodded slightly.

Although Jinx had mentioned this information before, some things only count if the culprit admits it in person.

Right, you dog system?

[Mission [Piltwolf Peacekeeper] Completed]

[Obtained [Hextech Revolver]*1, Skill Point*1

The mission description says "find the mastermind behind the robot attack," not "the mastermind behind the threat to Caitlin."

So once the mastermind behind the attack is identified, the mission is complete. As for the person above Butler...

Wash your neck and wait.

A flash of white light, and Mu Bai immediately felt a hard object in his pocket.

It goes without saying that the task reward has been credited to my account.

"The house is about to collapse..." Mu Bai nimbly dodged the falling rocks, his brows furrowed.

The onlookers outside sensed something was wrong and scrambled to a distance of over a hundred meters, peering through the thick haze as they tried to watch the whole thing unfold.

Who would have thought that a young man wielding a sword could actually drive Butler to the brink of despair all by himself?

This is nothing short of a fantasy, yet it actually happened.

"This is only the power of a half-finished product, it's terrifying..." Butler gave a bleak smile, his eyes fixed on the secret passage leading to the basement.

"You people from Zu'an just like to do weird experiments."

Mu Bai glanced at Butler, too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore, and knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck, then dragged him out.

As for the monster that caused the "earthquake," he couldn't be bothered with it.

It's not like there aren't police in Zu'an.

"Stop, stop! Stay here or you'll regret it." Mu Bai dragged Butler along with one hand and held up his police ID with the other, scattering the onlookers like kindergarten children.

However, before he could even take a few steps out of the casino, something unexpected happened.

A thick, powerful mechanical arm smashed through the wall beside him and then slammed squarely into him.

Mu Bai felt as if he had been hit head-on by a cannonball, his body flying backward for more than ten meters until he crashed into a telephone pole on the side of the road and came to a stop.

In the ruins of the casino, two red dots, each the size of a fist, stared menacingly at everyone.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Script Movement

Caitlin left in a hurry, without even having time to change her dress. She grabbed a noblewoman's sun hat, put it on, slung her Hextech rifle over her shoulder, and left the ballroom.

Her outfit—a luxurious gown paired with a rifle—was odd, and despite trying to avoid crowds, she inevitably attracted a lot of attention.

But she couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

She just wanted to get to Mu Bai's side as soon as possible.

"Why did you act on your own, you idiot..."

Caitlin stood inside the shrieking elevator car, beads of cold sweat trickling down her delicate face.

The scene outside the glass window changed rapidly; the light grew dimmer, and the air became murky... but she could no longer feel any of it.

..............................

"hiss……"

Mu Bai stood up from beside the fallen utility pole, his body covered in a mixture of dust and acid.

That sneak attack almost made him vomit his stomach acid.

The onlookers were completely dumbfounded. They hadn't even seen a shadow clearly before Mu Bai was sent flying in the blink of an eye.

What kind of monster is that...?

"Target: None. Activate Level 1 Alert: Eliminate all potentially threatening organisms." Just then, a cold, mechanical voice echoed from within the casino ruins.

Everyone turned their heads to look and finally saw the culprit that caused the earthquake—a huge robot.

Standing nearly three meters tall, humanoid in shape, with a hunched back, a heavy machine gun mounted on its left arm, two blades crackling with electricity on either side of its right arm, a miniature cannon muzzle on its forehead, and jet injectors attached to the back of its legs...

A pure killing machine.

"The Alchemist Baron's killing machine!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something first, and then everyone fell into chaos, scattering like a swarm of wasps whose hive had been knocked out.

Soon, several patrolling guards noticed the situation and, cursing, squeezed into the crowd.

But when they saw the enormous robot, they ran away faster than the onlookers, shouting things like "Let's go ask for backup" and "Keep order, don't crowd."

The increasingly shrill screams continuously stimulated the robot's information processing center, and its weapons began to heat up.

First, the heavy machine gun barrel began to rotate, and then the miniature cannon muzzle was prepared to be filled with explosives.

It targeted the densest part of the crowd.

Mu Bai raised an eyebrow, forcefully threw the unconscious Butler far away, and then rushed to the robot, brandishing his sword.

In a sense, an indestructible wind wall was instantly formed, directly blocking the robot's first round of strafing.

"Stop yelling and get out of here!" Mu Bai shouted at the crowd, and kicked a man next to him.

He wouldn't risk his life to save someone, but he could easily set up a wind barrier to block the wind.

Little did he know that what he thought was a simple act of kindness was pushing him into the eye of the storm.

"Heavy defense system detected..."

"A massive energy source has been detected..."

"Target locked."

Using an alloy lens and an energy sensing device, the robot detected the runic energy within Mu Bai's body and immediately identified it as a top-level threat.

Two chains, each as thick as a normal adult male's arm, shot out from behind it, bypassing the wind wall and attacking Mu Bai.

The latter quickly raised his sword to block, the blade colliding head-on with the chain, causing a sharp pain in his hand.

"This strength..." Mu Bai gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his palm as he forced out a sword strike, barely managing to slice off a piece of iron with his Steel-Cutting Flash.

However, this level of attack is completely ineffective against the robot.

Is this something a Baron alchemist could create?

Piltover might not even have robots with such advanced technology!

Damn it... what kind of energy does it use to power it, and where is the power unit hidden...?

"Clear, target."

The robot's analytical capabilities far surpass those of the human brain. Seeing that attacks such as guns and cannons were ineffective, it immediately switched to melee attacks, launching simultaneous and extremely fierce attacks with chains and electric blades.

Mu Bai only had a longsword in his hand, so he naturally couldn't fight head-on. He immediately parried with his sword and then used the opponent's push to leap to the street corner.

He did a 720-degree mid-air spin and landed perfectly.

“If you don’t use a gun, I will.” Mu Bai sneered and took out the Hextech revolver he had just acquired from his pocket.

The revolver's design wasn't particularly unique, but its craftsmanship was extremely exquisite. The connection between the muzzle and the barrel to the cylinder emitted a faint glow, surrounded by a ghostly blue magical dust, like a leaping dark elf, elegant yet deadly.

The biggest difference between the Hextech Revolver and other Hextech weapons is that its bullets are not physical, but magical bullets.

As long as the user has enough magic power, they can shoot indefinitely.

Coincidentally, the energy of the Enlightenment Rune is inexhaustible...

With a deafening gunshot, the Hai Technology revolver fired its first magical bullet.

Of course, this was also the first time Mu Bai had ever fired a gun... not counting the BB guns he played with as a child.

Fortunately, the target is big enough that you can hit it even if you shoot blindly with your eyes closed.

The magic bullet easily pierced the robot's alloy armor, then exploded, spread, and vibrated inside its body, with wisps of smoke immediately drifting out from the breach.

"Not bad."

Mu Bai whistled happily, then charged forward with his sword in hand, wielding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, employing attack methods that belonged to two different eras simultaneously.

The effect is remarkable.

As the six chambers of the Hextech revolver were emptied, the Doran's sword left more than a dozen scratches of varying sizes on the robot.

It's about time to bring in some tough guys.

Doran's sword emitted a sharp whistling sound once more, like a bloodthirsty dragon, waiting only for the prison that restrained it to break so it could tear the enemy apart in the most brutal way.

"Swift Wind Slash!" Mu Bai slashed upwards, his sword intent and whirlwind coalescing into a single force.
