Chapter 789: Chapter 25: If you have questions, you need to ask in advance

The gunfire almost occurred simultaneously.

But upon closer scrutiny, there was a distinction.

Wittes had pulled the trigger before Luodeni, and moreover, this representative, this agent of the ‘Amiel Family,’ had executed an extremely standard evasive maneuver while still pulling the trigger.

As a representative, an agent of the ‘Amiel Family,’ aside from his own status, the thing Wittes was most proud of was the robust physique and practical combat training he had gained through his relentless physical training.

At this moment, he was exceedingly grateful for his self-discipline.

Not only had he attained good health.

...

But also the chance to survive.

Though it was just a slight gap, Wittes understood this would determine the final outcome between him and Luodeni.

Even with a standard evasive motion, the bullet still burrowed into the chest.

This was something Wittes had anticipated.

What he didn’t expect was the pain!

He had not anticipated this kind of pain!

Wittes had encountered a gunshot for the first time!

Moreover, following a burst of impact, the pain spread throughout his body.

Brought to the ground by the force of the impact, Wittes curled up into a fetal position and began to convulse all over.

Even so, he made a strenuous effort to lift his head, his eyes intently fixed on Luodeni opposite him.

He wanted to witness Luodeni hit the ground.

He needed to confirm Luodeni’s death.

It was inevitable!

Wittes was extremely sure of this.

As the representative, the agent of the ‘Gibson Family,’ Luodeni had aged, and although he took great care in his maintenance, the cane in his hand was no longer just for show, and even at this moment, he displayed a trace of his youthful vigor, surprising everyone. But Wittes believed the outcome wouldn’t change.

After all, time is merciless.

It will take everything from you.

Your loved ones, friends.

Your wealth, your life.

Even the memories you leave for the world will gradually fade away over time, like wisps of smoke carried away by the wind.

Unconsciously, while assuming a foregone conclusion, this representative, this agent of the ‘Amiel Family’ lamented.

Then,

his eyes widened.

Because!

Luodeni not only didn’t fall, but he also hadn’t suffered even the slightest real injury.

It wasn’t an evasion!

The bullet had indeed hit Luodeni.

HIs lapel was torn.

But underneath was not flesh and blood.

Instead… metal!

Ding!

The collision between the bullet and the metallic chest sparked a shower of sparks, leaving not a single mark on the metal chest while the bullet was deflected away.

Luodeni, with a gun in his hand, elegantly raised his hand to brush off his metallic chest, revealing a smug smile on his aged face.

“Surprised?”

“Technology changes life.”

Luodeni looked at Wittes’ shocked eyes and smiled again.

Moreover, with those words, Luodeni seemed to completely open up.

Or rather, he had been holding back for too long, without anyone to share with.

Now that someone had appeared, he naturally seized the opportunity.

“My body had reached a limit twenty years ago, so I had to seek some special methods to live a bit longer.”

“Infusing young blood.”

“Replacing with younger organs.”

“But this was drop in the bucket, you know, every surgery required a recovery period, and my already weakened body could not endure more rejection.”

“Bit by bit, my body was still weakening, so I needed the fresh blood and organs of stronger people that fit my ‘target.'”

“Therefore, I came to Sector F…”

“It’s truly not bad here.”

“‘Tool People’ are everywhere, and I no longer need to operate in the shadows, as others would handle everything for me, and then, I simply take advantage while it’s hot.”

“But as time passed, even such a method became ineffectual.”

“I had to choose a riskier path.”

“Mechanics!”

“Just as you see.”

“I have undergone ten augmentations one after another, and then, I felt reenergized, I felt physically strong, I felt young once again.”

While speaking, Luodeni wiped his chest again.

A sickly obsession emerged on his aged face.

Anyone who saw it would feel uncomfortable, awkward.

To be precise: disgusted.

Wittes felt the same way.

Even more intensely so.

Because he was lying underneath the other man’s gun muzzle, and that muzzle was still pointed at him.

“Is all this your doing?”

Wittes didn’t ask Luodeni how he was able to undergo such surgeries, such augmentations.

Clearly, the ‘Gibson Family’ was not skilled in that area.

Betrayal!

It was destined to be!

Luodeni had betrayed his own family.

Otherwise, Wittes couldn’t think of who else would give Luodeni such generous rewards.

To receive something, you must give something.

Wittes knew this truth well.

Unfortunately, even knowing this, he still fell into the other party’s trap.

Thinking of the person who had contacted him in secret, Wittes clenched his teeth in hatred.

What could bring more benefits to the ‘Amiel Family.’

What choices could reverse one’s destiny.

Everything was a scam!

All part of this twisted old freak’s scheme!

Just look at the surprise in the eyes of this scumbag before you.

Still pretending even now!

Anger caused Wittes to cough loudly, spewing blood from his mouth.

“Wasn’t it you?”

“The person who contacted me in secret before, wasn’t it you?”
