77: Chapter 077: God Descends to Earth!
“That kid might be able to fool ordinary people, but he can’t fool , no way!”
Flynt Lockwood said solemnly, and then got into his car and left the hotel.
At this mont, Lionel Yeager and Julia Stewart were also walking out of the hotel.
“He still doesn’t believe it?”
Lionel Yeager asked.
Bill Sheehan sighed and said, “Yeah, Brother Livingston doesn’t believe a word you said.”
Lionel Yeager said, “Don’t worry, in three days he’ll believe.”
“Doctor Yeager, is there really sothing wrong with Brother Livingston’s health?”
Bill Sheehan asked half-believingly, half-doubtingly.
“Hmm.”
Lionel Yeager nodded.
Bill Sheehan nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll talk to Brother Livingston later.”
Afterwards, Lionel Yeager chatted with Bill Sheehan for a while, then they both left the hotel separately.
On the way ho.
Julia Stewart sat in the back seat, staring out the window in a daze, silent.
Lionel Yeager glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, “Julia, what are you thinking about?”
Julia Stewart turned her head and said, “Lionel, why has a person changed so much in just a few years?”
Lionel Yeager smirked, “Are you talking about Claire Weil?”
Julia Stewart nodded, her eyes filled with a touch of nostalgia.
“She wasn’t like this when we were in university.
She was very innocent, very kind, and never looked down on students from impoverished hos.
But I never thought that in just a few years, she’s beco so snobbish.
I thought this dinner party would be very enjoyable, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this…”
Lionel Yeager said lightly, “People change.
Society is like a big dye vat, and it changes everyone’s original appearance.”
Julia Stewart sighed deeply, “I just think it’s a pity, we were such good friends back then…”
“There’s nothing to be pitied about.”
Lionel Yeager shook his head and said, “Claire Weil and you are not from the sa world, your social circles and horizons are different.”
Julia Stewart didn’t say anything more, but turned to look out the window at the neon lights, the passing cars and pedestrians, her eyes filled with regret and sadness.
Lionel Yeager didn’t say anything more either, and focused on driving the car.
Shortly.
Lionel Yeager drove off the main road and drove smoothly on a less populated street.
But just as the car was about to pass an alley!
Suddenly!
Lionel Yeager’s mind tensed up and he sensed danger!
He accelerated abruptly, turned the steering wheel sharply, and then slamd on the brakes!
Whiz!
The car skidded sideways, the tires screeching on the road!
And at that very instant!
Clang!
With a slight sound, a bullet grazed the roof of the car, producing a shower of sparks!
Julia Stewart didn’t have ti to react, so she leaned forward, hitting her forehead hard on the front seat, leaving her dazed!
After the car ca to a stop, Julia Stewart rubbed her forehead and quickly asked, “Lionel, what happened?
What was that sound on the roof just now?”
Lionel Yeager didn’t answer, but a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly got out of the car, ran to the opposite side of the street, and bent down to pick up sothing.
Julia Stewart also sensed that sothing was wrong, and followed him out of the car.
Lionel Yeager ca over and pointed at the roof, “Take a look at the roof.”
Julia Stewart looked at the roof and was instantly shocked.
There was a long scratch on the roof, as if it had been cut by sothing extrely sharp.
“What…
what happened?”
Julia Stewart asked blankly.
Lionel Yeager raised his right hand and spread his palm.
“Bullet?!”
Julia Stewart’s body trembled, her face turning a bit pale.
Indeed, there was a burnt bullet in Lionel Yeager’s palm.
“That’s right.”
Lionel Yeager nodded, saying, “And it’s a sniper rifle bullet.”
“A sniper rifle bullet?”
Julia Stewart looked puzzled, “Is soone trying to kill us?”
“Maybe they want to kill .”
Lionel Yeager looked far into the distance, then said, “Julia, get in the car and lock the windows and doors.
Don’t run around, just wait for to co back!”
“What are you going to do?”
Julia asked in surprise.
“I’m going to find out who that guy is.”
Lionel Yeager replied, then dashed into the alley, disappearing into the night.
Julia watched the direction Lionel had left for a mont, then got in the car and locked the windows and doors as he instructed.
After entering the alley, Lionel propelled himself with great force from his legs, like a cannonball, and leaped onto the roof of a three-story building.
Then, he sprinted forward and, with another powerful leap, landed on the roof of a ten-story building a hundred ters away.
At this mont, Lionel was like a cheetah in the night, moving extrely fast, jumping from one building to another, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
Fortunately, it was nightti; otherwise, if anyone saw this, they would be shocked…
At this ti,
On the rooftop of a twenty-story building so eight hundred ters away from the street,
“FUCK!”
A muscular white man in black tight clothes, holding a sniper rifle, glanced at the distance and cursed angrily.
This white man was nad Andrew; an international assassin with the code na “Shell.”
A few days ago, he saw the Bounty Order to assassinate Lionel on the darkweb, and when he saw the 30 million dollar reward, he was tempted.
So, after arriving in River City, he investigated Lionel’s daily commute and then set up an ambush here, ready to snipe Lionel.
Unexpectedly, the target was extrely vigilant and managed to avoid his attack.
Now, his assassination attempt had failed, and he was at great risk of being exposed.
Therefore, he decided to leave quickly and try to snipe Lionel again next ti.
He hurriedly put the sniper rifle into the cello case and prepared to leave.
But just as he turned around, at that instant!
Crash!
A loud noise ca from the rooftop of a distant building!
He looked up abruptly, his body trembling and eyes filled with terror!
He saw a lone figure, standing silently on the rooftop of a building a hundred ters away, like a javelin!
The moonlight shone on the figure, casting a faint glow, making it seem as if a god had descended from heaven.
Through the moonlight, he clearly saw the face of the figure.
It was none other than his target, Lionel Yeager!
How could it be?!
A few minutes ago, Lionel was on the street 800 ters away; how could he suddenly appear here?!
More importantly, the building across from him was over thirty stories tall; how could this kid have gotten up there?!
Even taking the elevator wouldn’t be this fast, would it?
“Found you.”
Lionel Yeager looked at Andrew and spoke faintly.
Although Lionel’s voice was low, it sounded like the whisper of the Death God itself in Andrew’s ears.
Before his voice had even fallen,
Lionel jumped, leaping directly over the eighty-ter gap, landing with a “clang” on the rooftop where Andrew was…
