Chapter 27 Round 2

The two split up to run, and the Hunters Association's members had to chase after them separately, as neither of the two could be allowed to escape.

The mysterious woman in a cloak and Uncle Gong went after Mister L, while Lin Zheyuan and Lin Lu chased after Grandi.

As both escapees from the secret organization had different styles of running, Mister L moved extremely fast, much faster than Wen Wen, and shook off Uncle Gong in a moment. The surrounding supporters couldn't even make an effective interception, with only the cloaked woman continuing to follow closely behind him.

Grandi, on the other hand, was not quick on his feet, but his peculiar abilities caused those chasing him to run even slower than he did, making it very difficult for Lin Zheyuan and Lin Lu to catch up with him.

However, moving slowly meant he needed more time to break through the encirclement of the supporters, resulting in him being completely covered by their firepower. With the two relentlessly pursuing him, he couldn't afford to distract those supporters.

...

Wilson sat in the corridor, filled with mixed emotions.

The fight with Wen Wen made him realize his own weakness, and Grandi's attitude after the battle made it clear that he wasn't particularly valued by Mister J either.

"Why did I impulsively kill someone back then? But once I killed someone, there was no turning back. Apart from following him into the darkness, I could find nowhere else to belong."

Lost in self-pity, Wilson was startled by a loud bang. His ears tingled with the shock, and the wooden door of the inn flew off its hinges from the explosion and fire spread through the entrance, the blistering wind forcing Wilson to cover his face.

He hurried to the door and peered inside, only to see Mister L and Grandi fleeing in opposite directions, without taking him with them!

Wilson panicked, rushing to the end of the corridor and opening the window to try and climb down from there.

Ironically, he felt somewhat relieved that those who had launched the surprise attack were focused on Grandi and not on him.

But what he did not know was that supporters were stationed at every vantage point and key entry and exit locations. They had not ignored him, they simply hadn't moved against him because Lin Zheyuan had previously instructed that Wen Wen would deal with him.

At this moment, Wen Wen stood on the rooftop of the inn, watching Wilson climb down the pipe!

"Hmm, round two, begin!"

Wen Wen leapt down, landing a foot on Wilson, who had just reached the second floor, causing him to fall to the ground. Had it not been for his steel wings digging into the ground to break his fall, the impact alone could have knocked Wilson out again.

With a graceful flip, Wen Wen landed firmly on the ground, pointing a gun at Wilson.

"Wait, don't shoot, I surrender!" Wilson raised his hands, and the pair of wings on his back also lifted.

"It was all that man's doing, I had nothing to do with it. I can't even control these wings, please don't hurt me," Wilson said rapidly to Wen Wen, hoping he would be let go.

"Surrender... Tsk, first, put the cuffs on," Wen Wen said with a smile, pulling out handcuffs as if he was completely off guard, approaching Wilson.

Seeing Wen Wen get close enough, a fierce look flashed in Wilson's eyes. He wasn't someone who liked to leave his fate in others' hands, and with only Wen Wen nearby, killing him would allow him to make a clean getaway.

"At this close range, he shouldn't be able to escape!"

The two steel wings swiftly transformed into chains of blades, slicing towards Wen Wen!

After launching the attack, Wilson was shocked to discover that Wen Wen not only lacked a surprised expression but instead had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Of course, Wen Wen would never believe in Wilson's surrender; he was acutely aware that after taking a life, one's pattern of thought subtly changes, making it unrealistic to expect Wilson to surrender under such circumstances.

Moreover, the last thing that Wen Wen wanted now was for Wilson to surrender!

Facing the sudden assault, this time Wen Wen remained calm. Black material separated out, and the Catastrophe Gloves took form, seizing the attacking wings!

With such a long weapon designed for attack, the closer the distance, the easier it was to discern its trajectory and the easier to grab!

After the last fight, Wen Wen knew all too well that those razor-sharp wings couldn't inflict any damage on the Catastrophe Gloves, so this time, he planned to use that to his advantage in combat!

Grabbing the wing, Wen Wen spread his legs apart and exerted all his strength to hurl Wilson, sending him flying into another room of the hotel, then Wen Wen leaped in after him.

What he had to do next was not suitable for the eyes of his Supporters, so he needed to change the battlefield!

Wilson, who landed in the room, was thrown into disarray and was just about to beg for mercy when a foot stomped on his back, knocking him out cold.

Then Wen Wen grabbed one of the long steel wings with one hand and fired several shots at the other, the potent force of the Demon Hunting Bullets rendering it immobile; thus, Wen Wen completely controlled both wings!

The fight was simple—Wilson, who had slightly injured Wen Wen in their previous encounter, completely failed to make a hit this time!

Wen Wen had only recently become a superpower user, but Wilson was merely an ordinary man with extraordinary strength, not even qualifying as a superpower user.

After understanding the ability of the steel wings, in Wen Wen's eyes, Wilson was just like a child swinging a weapon randomly!

The steel wings, though agile and sharp, lacked strength. Once up close, Wen Wen easily subdued them.

"Now I need to consider how to remove this thing from his back; after all this trouble, I want to put these wings in jail..."

Wen Wen didn't care whether incarcerating wings was too bizarre; what he needed now was to enhance his own power.

He stepped on Wilson's body, trying to pull the wings off, but found they were attached too firmly; mere brute force couldn't do it.

However, during the pulling process, Wen Wen realized that the wings were only clinging to Wilson's skin, not penetrating his body...

So...

Wen Wen took out a small knife, intending to cut away the skin that was attached to the steel wings!

To be honest, doing so was somewhat perverted, but to obtain a Supernatural Item, it was worth it.

As the cutting reached its halfway point, the steel wings gave up resistance, detaching from Wilson automatically, sparing Wen Wen a lot of effort.

Afterward, Wen Wen placed a hand on the bloody wound and let out Cold Qi, freezing the bleeding injury to prevent Wilson from bleeding to death.

As for whether this would have adverse consequences for Wilson, that wasn't something Wen Wen considered.
