Inside an office, Sphinx was looking at the body under his feet, his face was extremely gloomy.
Yesterday, he didn't just lose a temporary hideout, Elponk, a very useful man, was killed as well. Now, another core member of the organization had his throat slit in front of everyone's eyes.
"Damn it!"
Sphinx smashed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, his gloomy face showed a sense of regret.
He really regretted it now!
He originally thought it was a chance that he and Bloody Ridges couldn't miss but who would've thought things would turn out like this.
Before the grand blueprint that the mastermind described could be realized, his right-hand man was killed.
Then …
Who would be next?
The question appeared in Sphinx's heart, it made the boss of Bloody Ridges restless. He waved his hand and told his men to clean up the body. Then, he took out a phone from the bottom drawer of his office desk.
The phone was left for him by the mastermind to contact Sphinx.
It also reminded Sphinx not to call him unless it was absolutely necessary.
No doubt now was the best time to do so.
Sphinx dialed the only unknown number in his phone and waited patiently.
Then, the busy tone came from the phone.
The other party hung up on him.
Sphinx was stunned for a while before he called back.
This time, it was more direct, the caller's voice told him that the phone was off.
"Bastard!"
Sphinx smashed the phone on the opposite wall.
Pak!
The phone was smashed to pieces. Sphinx started to pant heavily when he saw the splashed parts.
Sphinx knew he was abandoned by the mastermind, or rather, it was the mastermind's intention from the very beginning: using him, abandoning him and using him to attract the attention of the people around him.
Sphinx, who wasn't an idiot, woke up from his greed and quickly realized the mastermind's intention.
But it was too late!
Sphinx already knew what he was going to face.
However, Sphinx didn't plan to give up.
Growing up on the streets, Sphinx who managed to get his hands on an independent turf was definitely not lacking in perseverance. Although to others, such perseverance was considered a bastard's behavior, Sphinx relied on such perseverance every single time to get through tough times.
"This time will be no exception!
I will … "
"You are Sphinx?"
Sphinx clenched his fists and began to think about how he should fight back. However, before he could even think of anything, a sharp voice entered his ears.
"No!"
Without a second thought, Sphinx denied it straight away. He then reached for the gun in the drawer.
Crack!
However, the moment Sphinx's fingers touched the handle of the gun, the bones in his palm exploded.
Bang! Bang!
It was like the sound of firecrackers.
After a series of popping sounds, Sphinx's right hand was completely shattered from his palm to his elbow.
"Ahhhh!"
Amid the painful groan, Sphinx tumbled down from his chair. Blood gushed out from his elbow and instantly dyed the office desk in front of him red.
A figure walked up to the blood-stained office table and sat on top of it, looking down at Sphinx with a condescending attitude.
"Are you Sphinx?"
The other party asked again.
"Yes, yes."
"Save me!"
Sphinx didn't deny it this time.
Pain and a large amount of blood gushing out from his body was enough for Sphinx to make the right choice. Following Sphinx's answer, the blood gushing out from his elbow suddenly lessened and the pain faded away.
Only then did he get a clear look at the person before him.
The black mantle was tainted with his blood, the pale white skull mask reflected the sunlight, sending chills down one's heart.
"Slither Bone!"
The extremely familiar outfit made Sphinx cry out in fear.
"Nice to meet you.
Believe me, this will help in our upcoming conversation. "
"Where is' Hell Breath '?"
Slither Bone asked with a laugh.
His laugh was sharp and sonorous, like a claw scratching on a blackboard, causing numbness in Sphinx's scalp.
"I am just a pitiful bastard being used.
I don't know … Aaaargh! "
Before Sphinx could finish his words, his left hand exploded just like his right hand from before.
"I don't want to hear this, you know!
Of course you are just a pawn, I am asking about the person behind you. Who is he? "
Slither Bone asked in a heavy tone.
"I don't know!
"He's always masked his face. I've sent someone to follow him, but every time, the person who followed him didn't return. After that, he warned me again and again, so I chose to give up."
After all, I am just a common man and he is an extraordinary individual!
Every time we met, he was the one looking for me, not the other way around. Other than giving me an emergency phone, he gave me nothing else!
I swear!
"I'm telling the truth!"
Sphinx laid down on the ground like a fish thrown ashore after losing both his hands. He wanted to struggle but he was powerless, looking very pitiful.
If it was someone else, they would surely sympathize with Sphinx in his current state.
But not Slither Bone.
As the infamous supervillain in Alkender City, Slither Bone was famous for torturing people for his own enjoyment.
Therefore, the moment Sphinx's words subsided, the bones in his feet exploded as well.
Bang!
Bang!
Two loud bangs later, Sphinx screamed in agony again.
His screams would never be pleasant but Slither Bone felt like he was listening to a concert, not only was he immersed in it, he even danced in joy.
After a full 10 seconds, when Sphinx's screams turned hoarse, Slither Bone finally stopped.
"Where is the phone he gave you?"
Slither Bone asked.
"Over there!"
Sphinx said in a weak voice.
Upon turning his head, 'Lie Gu' saw the phone that was smashed into pieces.
Slither Bone grunted coldly when he glanced over the broken phone.
"Useless trash."
Bang!
Following this evaluation, there was another muffled explosion.
This time, it wasn't just his limbs but Sphinx's head.
His brains splattered everywhere.
Slither Bone didn't even have the intention to dodge, allowing the brains to splatter all over his body.
Through the clothes and mask, 'Lie Gu' could feel the slight bit of warmth coming from the air. Feeling the warmth, 'Lie Gu' hummed a small tune in enjoyment and walked towards those phone parts.
Although the phone was broken into parts, it didn't mean it couldn't be repaired.
But just when Lie Gu was about to bend his waist, Lie Gu suddenly rolled to the side.
A bullet practically brushed past Lie Gu and drilled into the wall.
A man with a gun in his hand and a double-barreled hunting rifle on his back walked out from the shadows. His face was covered by a big felt hat.
"Predator?
You want to interfere as well?! "
Slither Bone stared at the man.
As supervillains from the same city, both of them had met before and even fought before, so Slither Bone knew how hard it was to deal with this man.
"Not just me, even that bastard Ironjaw Croc is here.
I don't want to fight that bastard, so can you give me those phone parts? "
Predator waved the gun in his hand, his tone was frivolous but Slither Bone's heart sunk.
Predator didn't want to fight Ironjaw Croc, neither did Slither Bone.
In fact, in Alkender City, there weren't a lot of people who wanted to fight Ironjaw Croc, the original wrestler, who was now a supervillain.
Whether it was those superheroes who upheld justice or those supervillains who acted recklessly, it was the same.
Slither Bone was too hard to deal with.
Not only was his body invulnerable, he was also extremely strong. During Slither Bone's first robbery, in order to stop his pursuers, Ironjaw Croc flipped a 3-ton truck and swaggered away.
Countless people remembered that scene clearly.
Commoners were shocked when they saw the truck flipped over, so were the extraordinary individuals.
One needed to know, Ironjaw Croc's forte wasn't flipping trucks but wrestling.
With such strength and his wrestling skills, Ironjaw Crocodile was recognized as the most dominant supervillain in Alkender City after Death Knell, Mr. Ghost, and Grudge Dragon after that robbery.
"Give it to you?
Do you think that's possible? "
Slither Bone laughed coldly.
"Of course!
I think it's the truth! "
Predator took out the double-barreled hunting rifle on his back.
The battle between both of them was about to break out.
Right at that moment, a series of footsteps without any intention of concealing sounded.
Dak Dak Dak.
The footsteps were heading towards the office.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan pushed open the door and entered.
Lie Gu and Hunter looked at the door without a care in the world.
In their hearts, the person who pushed open the door was already a dead person!
As supervillains, the two of them were not worried about harming the innocent.
However, when the two of them saw the figure in the crow feathered cloak, they couldn't help but hold their breaths.
Because …
