The fierce-looking young nobleman was still searching for Hawke when he suddenly heard a mocking laugh beside him:
"I think you're like Cao Pi's wife entering the vegetable garden—like Zhen Ji pulling up vegetables..."
The young nobleman turned his head sharply, only to be greeted by Hawke's mocking smile and an extremely fast uppercut!
"boom!".
The sound of his jaw shattering was clearly audible!
The young master was sent flying into the air by this punch!
Before he could land, Hawke's figure disappeared again, reappearing at a higher point on his ascent trajectory, and delivered a powerful whip kick to his side!
Snap! Rib broken!
06 "Ugh!" The young master coughed up blood and was flung like a broken sandbag towards the skeleton of another unfinished building.
Hawke was always by his side.
He no longer used heat rays, relying solely on melee combat to cruelly toy with the enemy.
Every time she appeared, it was from the angle where the young master was most vulnerable and defenseless.
Every attack landed precisely on his joints, ribs, or newly healed wounds!
Grab him and smash him down!
Kick it away, then catch up!
Every punch landed squarely, every sound cracking bones!
"The ceiling of our company?"
"That's it?"
Hawke's taunts, delivered with each strike, reached the young nobleman's ears clearly and were broadcast worldwide.
Every word was like a knife cutting into his pride.
The young nobleman's pride in his telekinetic abilities became a joke in the face of Hawke's ghostly speed and energy absorption.
despair!
An unprecedented despair enveloped the young nobleman.
Physical injuries can heal, but the mental trauma and the complete collapse of his dignity cause him to let out a beast-like howl.
"Ah—!!!" He abandoned his defenses and desperately gathered all his mental energy into a highly compressed energy ball that shimmered with a dangerous light, intending to perish together with his opponent!
However, just as the energy ball was about to explode...
The last trace of amusement in Hawke's eyes vanished.
"game over."
Two crimson-gold rays, as thick as an arm and so hot they distorted space, shot out from Hawke's eyes like spears of judgment!
This is no longer a test, no longer a cut, but a decisive blow!
The energy sphere that the young master had condensed was as fragile as a soap bubble in the face of the terrifying high-temperature rays.
"laugh--!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the ray pierced through the energy sphere instantly, striking the young master's wide-open eyes, which were filled with despair and madness!
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
The young nobleman's ferocious expression froze on his face. His eyes, which were once cold and proud, but now only filled with endless fear and disbelief, rapidly carbonized under the extremely high temperature!
Immediately afterwards, terrifying energy surged into his eye socket, destroying everything in its path!
"boom!!!"
A loud, muffled bang, not particularly earth-shattering.
The young master's head, from the eye sockets upwards, suddenly exploded like a watermelon detonated from the inside!
Red, white, and charred fragments sprayed out with the impact. The headless corpse froze in the air for a second before falling limply downwards, crashing heavily onto the ruins and kicking up a cloud of dust.
That body, which once represented the pride of the company's strongest cyborg and possessed powerful regenerative abilities, is now reduced to a charred neck cavity and slowly flowing tissue that is still futilely writhing in an attempt to repair itself.
Hawke landed slowly, his bare feet making a slight sound as he stepped onto the scorching gravel.
He glanced at the grotesque headless corpse on the ground, his eyes filled with regret: "It's a pity you can never head the ball again..."
"???"
Viewers behind countless cameras swallowed hard... What kind of hellish joke is this?
The battle ended, and the entire neighborhood was reduced to ruins. This was a result of Hawke's ability to control the battlefield, given the relatively high population density in the area.
This is the best possible outcome.
Unfortunately, the Ryan Bio Building, whose foundation had already been laid, was destroyed once again...
……
At that moment, on a cargo ship on the Ganges, Killian, wearing a hood and completely covered up, stared in astonishment at the screen showing a Manhattan block reduced to ruins and Hawke, who looked like a god. His face was grim.
He instinctively pulled his hood down lower and hid inside the cabin.
……
It was only then that Koo Ja-yoon arrived in a hurry, even slower than the New York Police Department.
Shen Shiya, standing beside her, looked worried. She breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that Hawke was almost unharmed, but she also rushed over with tears in her eyes.
Hawke patted the petite Shen Shiya in his arms, then glared at Gu Ziyun: "Where have you been fooling around all day? Aren't you afraid I'll die?"
Gu Ziyun chuckled: "Didn't you say yourself that this so-called young master can't even beat me, let alone you?"
Hawke's lips twitched, and he gestured with his chin toward the two-sword-wielding women, Zheng Duoen and Zhao Xian, on the ground: "It's up to you to train them."
Gu Ziyun seemed to know she was in the wrong, and quickly nodded. Then, her eyes darted around, and seeing that Hawke seemed to be in a good mood, she casually said, "Two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"I'll slap you so hard you'll fly away, believe it or not. Good news or bad news, say what you have to say and spit it out if you have to."
Gu Ziyun cleared her throat, trying to appear more formal: "The good news is that the human trials of the Extremis virus have been successful. Both the African and Ganges laboratories have been successful. Overall, the results from the African laboratory, Stern, are better because, through reverse engineering of the Extremis virus serum you provided, there are subtle differences in the chemical formula. The first batch of verification serum produced so far has a higher initial success rate, reaching 50%, and the failure mortality rate is very low, less than 30%."
Hawke smiled, nodded, and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. You haven't disappointed me. Do you have any experimental results yet?"
Gu Ziyun nodded. "Stern used local chimpanzees for experiments. After the serum was completed, he conducted ten experiments, five of which were successful. After confirming the effect and after stability testing, Stern removed these five finished products."
"Great, great!" Hawke was delighted, happily rubbing his ear before asking, "And the bad news? Did someone die?"
Gu Ziyun lowered her head and muttered, "It would be better if I were dead..."
"What exactly happened?" Hawke asked impatiently.
“Killian…he ran away…”
Hawke: ? ? ?
210 Eunfi…you make me look like an idiot.
"A cripple like him? Where could he run?" Hawke laughed, then his expression suddenly changed slightly: "Did he inject himself with the Extremis virus?"
Gu Ziyun nodded: "That should be the case."
Hawke sighed and questioned, "So, what is Enfi good for? Can't she even keep an eye on a cripple? She was too afraid to tell me herself, so she told you first?"
After saying that, he turned on his headphones: "Z, target tracking, Killian."
"...Sir...Insufficient information available...Unable to confirm whereabouts...Last known location was...outside the Ganges Laboratory..."
"Fxxk!"
Hawke immediately took out his phone and called Enfi.
At that moment, in the Ganges Laboratory, Enfi was furious and suddenly overturned Killian's usual workbench.
He then quickly directed all armed personnel to place everyone inside the laboratory under strict control.
The investigation covered everyone's residence and their nearest contact, leaving no stone unturned in an attempt to uncover any possible clues.
Several researchers who were close to Killian became the focus of special attention.
As the deputy, Maya Hansen was the focus of the investigation.
Maya Hansen was clearly dumbfounded. She had absolutely no idea that Killian was going to run away, and she hadn't even considered that possibility. All she knew was that the experiment had been a success and she was about to achieve great fame and fortune. But the next second, Killian ran away with the research results.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang in her pocket. Enfei, furious, saw the caller ID and immediately deflated, thinking to herself, "What's coming will come eventually."
He answered the phone immediately: "I'm sorry, boss."
"Eunfi...you make me look like an idiot..."
"I……"
"Get back here right now!"
Snapped!
The phone hangs up.
Hearing the busy tone of the phone, Eun-bi sighed, staring blankly at the somewhat chaotic laboratory, feeling that life was not worth living...
Just as Eunbi was about to speak, she received another text message from Koo Ja-yoon: Don't worry, although the boss is angry this time, he won't be too harsh. However, there will definitely be necessary punishments. You were indeed too careless this time. Do a good job of cleaning up the mess.
After reading the message, Eun-bi breathed a sigh of relief, a smile unconsciously spreading across her face. Suddenly, she felt... life was truly worthwhile...
Enfei addressed the armed personnel beside her: "Listen up, the boss wants us to return to headquarters immediately for a report. Start packing now. Take all research materials, work logs, and surveillance data. Take everyone alive in the lab with you. If anyone doesn't want to leave, they can't live! After clearing the area, seal off the entire lab. Don't leave any details behind."
Hawke returned Gu Ziyun's phone to her. Gu Ziyun glanced at the message he had just sent to Eunbi using her phone and laughed, "Boss Ryan, you've got a good tactic of using both kindness and force!"
"No matter how good the methods are, Killian still managed to escape!"
Gu Ziyun awkwardly pursed her lips, deciding not to provoke the trouble, and left with the double-sword woman Jung Da-eun and Zhao Xian.
She watched Hawke dominate the entire live stream. Although she felt she could achieve the same results, she knew it wouldn't be as easy and would require more effort.
At this moment, Shin Shia separated from Hawke, her face streaked with tears, but her expression was firm. She said, "Hawk oppa, I will protect you from now on. I have almost fully developed my abilities. Koo Ja-yoon unnie said that I am no weaker than her."
"Oh?" Hawke was somewhat surprised. In the original novel, Witch 2, Shen Shiya did not undergo any professional ability development or training. She relied entirely on her friends to sacrifice her abilities.
But this time, with Gu Ziyun personally developing it, he felt that it would at least be no weaker than the original work.
