Sequence Five, Arcade.
This is a guy who, just by looking at him, you can tell he isn't a good person!
"Here he comes."
Tang Haofei didn't even turn his head, just calmly said a single sentence.
Wen Yu also furrowed his brows.
The smell of blood emanating from Arcade was too intense, even affecting Wen Yu's sense of smell!
Even Caius, standing beside him, carefully closed his Bible, then kept his gaze focused on Arcade's face, his expression growing increasingly profound.
...
Gently adjusting his top hat, Arcade slowly lowered the brim to shield his long, slender eyes.
He licked the corner of his mouth and walked leisurely toward the front row.
The blood-red trench coat floated lightly, the smell of blood spreading around, even making some weaker professionals feel nauseous.
This man, just by walking, could bring immense torment and suffering to the lives around him!
"Amen..."
Caius sighed softly, repeatedly drawing a cross over his chest, as if seeking forgiveness and divine will.
Arcade, as if ignoring everyone's expressions and attitudes, walked to the front row without a care in the world.
...
Arcade's seat was the fifth in the front row, with Sequence Four—Qin Min, and Sequence Six—Fang Bai on either side.
Coincidentally, both of them had interacted with Arcade before, though it wasn't under pleasant circumstances.
Once, when Arcade unleashed a sea of blood in the United Kingdom, Qin Min, Fang Bai, and now Sequence Seven, Michelle, were responsible for hunting him down. However, looking at Arcade's current state, it seemed they hadn't achieved much by teaming up; instead, they had only deepened their grievances.
His long, evil eyes scanned the crowd sitting in the front row.
Then, Arcade's gaze lingered slightly on Caius before swiftly turning to Qin Min.
"Hehehe, heh heh~~"
His laughter grew increasingly low and eerie, and then, two pure black pistols appeared in his hands, firing frantically at Qin Min!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The explosive sounds were like cannon fire, echoing continuously, while Qin Min merely crossed his arms, sitting in his seat without moving an inch!
The rules of the sequence challenge match stated that while inside the Eternal Sky City, professionals could not inflict any harm on each other. Although Arcade's actions sounded impressive, they had no real effect!
However, it seemed Arcade was simply venting, and the firearms in his hands were no ordinary weapons. Even as bullets whizzed and fired in a continuous barrage, they showed no signs of running out!
Three minutes later, Arcade silently retracted his guns, a cryptic smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, then he bypassed Qin Min and plopped down in his seat.
Qin Min slightly opened his eyes, an unmasked disdain on his face: "Boring trick."
"Hehehe~ this is no trick; this is revenge, avenging my 865 lives! One bullet for one life, how fair, how harmonious?"
"Your life really isn't worth much!"
Qin Min casually retorted, then ignored Arcade.
But Arcade seemed to have found a topic to latch onto; with an eerie smile, he leaned in closely, his long face almost touching Qin Min's ear as if whispering, though his voice carried far.
"Actually, I want to say, those weren't my lives. When you killed me 865 times, it was my subjects who died. Oh, one of them was named Wang Dong, right? Do you remember that time you guys launched missiles at me? Wow, what a scene... that Wang Dong was taken out as a scapegoat and blown to bits... But do you know? My subjects aren’t that easy to kill; even when their bodies were shattered, one half of a brain remained, staring at me as if to say 'I died such a tragic death...' Dying twice in a lifetime, he really got his money’s worth..."
After speaking, Arcade glanced at the increasingly grim expression on Qin Min's face, then gently extended his long, pointed tongue and lightly touched Qin Min's face...
"He seems to be your personal guard, right?"
"Son of a btch! You're looking for death!"
Provoked by Arcade, Qin Min finally erupted, his entire body radiating golden light as he raised his fist and struck forcefully at Arcade's head.
