An almost identical scenario.

Leonard Churchill had the same look of uncertainty when he got stabbed last time.

The sharpness of the scalpel was far beyond common understanding.

The ambulance was already engulfed by raging flames. There didn’t seem to be any more experts involved.

Leonard didn’t give the guy another chance. He saw the parcel he was clutching and charged at him.

Regarding agility attribute, a God Thief Sequence Curse Card Master would score above 10; hence, under normal circumstances, Leonard wouldn’t be able to catch him.

Originally, Leonard had thought about setting off the firecrackers to attract reinforcement.

Now it seemed unnecessary.

The reckless bloke was grievously injured by the explosion, and his leg bone had been pierced. It wasn’t easy for him to escape.

The two of them were engaged in a desperate chase that led them into a dilapidated building.

The reckless guy was aiming to lose Leonard by using the terrain.

But how could Leonard let him achieve his wish?

God Thieves were indeed skilled at vanishing, but ironically, that’s exactly what Leonard had been studying recently.

After gulping down a Night Vision Potion and an Excitement Potion, he felt invigorated, and his speed increased significantly.

He had spent hundreds of thousands on bombs already, so these potions were trivial.

Fueled by his considerable wealth, Leonard wouldn’t let go.

But while they were running, the reckless guy suddenly disappeared.

“Heh… Invisible now?”

Leonard sneered internally, unsurprised.

Invisibility was an essential skill of the God Thief Sequence, enabling one to almost disappear in the dark.

This somewhat resembled a simplified version of the Shadow Submarine.

But Invisibility had a significant drawback. It used a tiny bit of the dark element to cloak one’s body, mostly causing a physical disappearance.

Therefore, one couldn’t move, or move too quickly after using it.

Otherwise, they could easily expose themselves.

In Leonard’s eyes, the enemy not running away served his purpose.

Old Ford, known as “The Ghost”, was no fool. Realizing that escape was impossible, he stopped fleeing.

After being pursued for a while, he realized he was being chased by a single Card Master Apprentice.

Could an apprentice dare to target them?

Suddenly enlightened, Old Ford felt embarrassed and self-mocking, as though he was a tiger chased by a dog.

He thought he was being traced by experts from the Golden Oak Tree.

Though he didn’t know why Hensen’s scalpel was in Leonard’s possession, Old Ford was just a Card Disciple. What was he running for?

If the enemy had gone invisible, it would indeed be challenging for Leonard to find him.

However, Leonard could clearly sense the impending attack.

But the enemy had overlooked one thing – Leonard was carrying a Mithril Spirit Medium.

The extraordinary traits of the Mithril Spirit Medium, radiating like fire, were like a candlelight in the darkness in Leonard’s eyes, and couldn’t be hidden.

Having been injured, Old Ford was not agile.

As an experienced God Thief, he still managed to reveal no flaws.

The dim environment concealed his figure.

However, Leonard could clearly see that the energy emanating from the spirit medium was slowly moving toward him.

Without the agility advantage, the combat power of a God Thief was reduced to half;

Without invisibility to conceal traces, the combat power was cut in half again.

At this moment, Leonard viewed Old Ford as nothing more than a durable target.

Leonard pretended not to see and continued to grope in the dark.

They had unwittingly reached a staircase corner.

It was then that Old Ford suddenly lunged!

In an assassin’s eyes, the moment of turning around while climbing or descending the stairs is undoubtedly the best chance to kill.

However, a bizarre episode occurred.

As soon as he rounded the corner, Old Ford, raising his dagger for a stab, was astonished to discover…there was no one there!

“How is that possible?”

Old Ford didn’t even have time to figure out how the person could disappear right under his eyes,

When he suddenly felt a surge of killing intent from behind.

A heavy object was pressed against his neck.

It was the barrel of a large-caliber gun.

His hair stood on end due to the immediate threat. Despite his best efforts to dodge, the bullet was discharged.

“Bang!”

In the darkness, the green and blue flame from the Demon-breaking Bullet burst forth.

A large cloud of blood erupted from Old Ford’s neck.

Not necessarily fatal, a headshot rarely kills, but the carotid artery is amongst the weakest areas of the body and can easily inflict severe injuries.

Not to mention the close-range gunshot.

With one shot, Leonard gravely wounded Old Ford, then withdrew hastily, narrowly avoiding his retaliatory stab.

He had no intentions of engaging in close combat with a God Thief.

Having successfully ambushed, he immediately maintained a safe distance.

Now that the enemy couldn’t escape, killing him was just a matter of time.

Leonard wasn’t in a hurry at all.

Old Ford clearly discerned Leonard’s intention.

Covering his profusely bleeding neck and eyeing the widening gap, he felt despair.

He knew he had no chance of killing.

However, the stubborn fool still didn’t give up. He turned and leaped downstairs.

Leonard chased after relentlessly.

If he had been shot somewhere else, he would have been alright for a while.

But once the carotid artery broke, he would bleed to death if not treated immediately.

Moreover, due to such intense activity, the internal pressure in the blood vessels was exceedingly high.

At this point, the blood spurting from his neck couldn’t be staunched, oozing out between his fingers.

Leonard didn’t give him time to catch his breath. He kept the pressure up while chasing and firing his gun.

After running only a short distance, Old Ford finally felt dizzy and collapsed.

He struggled to get up and run, but Leonard didn’t give him the chance. Two more shots hit vital parts, ending his life.

The corpse on the ground was still twitching.

Without hesitation, Leonard took the parcel and Storage Ring off the corpse.

He glanced through it, and also stripped off the inner armor.

After gathering all the Spoils of War, he did some clean-up work on the injuries caused by the flying knife on the corpse and then set it on fire.

Leonard didn’t plan to stay here long. The explosion had caught much attention, and the longer he stayed, the riskier it got.

He quickly returned to the previous street corner, found the flying knife embedded in the cement wall, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not having time to ponder, he could already hear the sound of people approaching at the end of the block.

Leonard quickly checked the body in the truck, found another Storage Ring, and disappeared swiftly into the dark, dilapidated building..
