Chapter 16

Jacob stepped on the emergency brake when he noticed a car parked horizontally, blocking his way.He answered the phone call calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Boss." Jerry's voice sounded on the phone. "I just received news that Paramount Police Bureau'sMinistry of Defense is targeting you. Please wait a moment."

A few seconds later, Jerry continued, "Boss, has someone from the Ministry of Defense come to seeyou?"

Jacob looked at 'Ministry of Defense' written on the car before him and nodded. "Yes."

Then, he glanced into the rearview mirror and saw a black and white car blocking his path of retreat.

"Do you want me to deal with them?" Jerry asked.

"No." Jacob arched an eyebrow and ended the call.

A burly man stepped out of the Ministry of Defense's car fully armed. He looked alert as he came toJacob's car and shouted, "Put your hands where I can see!"

Jacob sensed at least three guns aimed in his direction and had no choice but to place his hands onthe steering wheel.

The burly man looked into Jacob's car and saw nothing unusual. Then, he ordered, "Get out of the car!"

Jacob arched his eyebrow slightly and glanced out of the window before opening the car door.

The burly man gripped his gun tightly and pointed it at Jacob's temple. "Put your hands on your headand kneel!"

"Shut up!"

Jacob mumbled as his eyes flashed with a cold gleam. His figure suddenly flickered and reappeared infront of the burly man before snatching the gun from his hand and shaking it.

Soon, the gun broke apart and fell to the ground. There were also a few yellow-colored bullets litteredamong the gun parts.

Suddenly, a sniper fired a shot from a distance, sending a bullet silently toward Jacob. Jacob squintedhis eyes and moved to dodge it. A loud bang ensued, and a crater the size of a ping pong ballappeared on the ground.

Then, the burly man began attacking Jacob again. He pulled out a dagger from his belt and slashed ittoward Jacob.

Jacob sneered as he grabbed the wrist of the man's dagger-wielding hand. At the same time, heslapped the burly man with his free hand.

A muffled slap sounded. The burly man widened his eyes as his body shot up into the air and turned awide circle with Jacob's grip on his wrist acting as a fulcrum.

Pop! Pop! The burly man groaned, and two bullets dropped from his body onto the ground.

Meanwhile, an armored car with the word 'Ministry of Defense' parked in a nearby alley. A middle-agedman with vigor in his eyes, gray-streaked hair, and dressed in a gray special combat suit sighed. "Asexpected of the leader of a large-scale organization whose power spans multiple domains. He can facean army alone and is unbelievably strong!"

Jacob stood in the middle of the road and threw the burly man about eight meters away. Then, hestepped aside to dodge a sniper bullet before shaping his hand like a sword and waving it.

Swoosh! The air tore apart with a boom, forming a white wave which grew in size as it rushed towardthe car blocking the middle of the road and sliced through it like a blade.

In the blink of an eye, a loud crack sounded, and the car broke into two in the middle.

Jacob heard the panicked voices in the car and commanded, "Send me someone who has decision-making power."

A short silence ensued before a small team of Special Forces soldiers rushed out, fully armed fromboth ends of the road.

Jacob narrowed his eyes as fighting spirit and energy surged within his body, filling the air with hisintimidating aura. However, the soldiers were only ordinary people armed with thermal weapons. Jacobbelieved he could destroy them easily.

However, before a confrontation could break out, an electronic message swept across the scene.

In the next moment, the group of Special Forces soldiers had no choice but to retreat with expressions

of resentment and unwillingness.

Soon, the middle-aged man in the armored car stepped out. He was a squadron leader of the SpecialOperations Brigade under the Ministry of Defense.

He gestured to his men to carry away the burly men who attacked Jacob before tilting his head slightlyand said, "Since I am here, what do you wish to say?"

Jacob had an indifferent expression as he said, "I don't bother anyone if no one bothers me. However,if you try to harm me, I will not hesitate to kill."

The middle-aged man seemed impressed. "But this is Avalon's capital, Paramount, and not the wartorn Four Outer Districts!"

Jacob replied, "They are all the same to me."

The middle-aged man arched an eyebrow, "I have the power to arrest you for the crime of threateningnational security!"

"You can try."

Jacob sneered. "If you wish to oppose me, be ready to face destruction."

Jacob seemed intimidating as he glanced at his surroundings. "Keep in mind that I do not mindsubjecting the whole of Paramount to my wrath."

Suddenly, the strong wind howled and sent dust into the air. Then, the air within a hundred-meterradius of Jacob instantly froze and became still as ice.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and gradually felt his limbs turn stiff. His pupils constricted ashe felt fear to the depth of his heart.

It seems the intelligence department has way underestimated the leader of the Scarlet Dragons. Hecan affect the physical state of his surrounding with his willpower alone. Even the legendary few…

The middle-aged man let out a breath and raised his clenched right fist before forcing it back down.

In the span of a few breaths, his men finished clearing the road. Even the car that was slashed in halfwas pushed into a neighboring alley.

"Alright, Mr. Lynch. Let me introduce myself again. I am from Paramount Police Bureau and Ministry ofDefense's Special Operations…"

"I am not interested in who you are." Jacob interrupted the middle-aged man. "Furthermore, I do notwant to waste my time with you. Remember what I said. I won't bother anyone if no one bothers me.However, if anyone tries to harm me, I will kill without hesitation."

Then, he paused before continuing, "You can treat this as a warning." After that, Jacob got into his carand sped away.

"Hmph! What an arrogant fellow! Team Fernando, I request permission to use Thor-001 sniper bullet!"

Hearing the angry voice of Number One Sniper from the headset, Fernando clenched his right fist and

gave a thumbs up before swinging it left and right three times to stop all operations.

Twenty seconds later, one of the three top leaders of the Ministry of Defense called on his phone. "Whydid you cease the arrest operation?"

Fernando looked at the thin line that stretched nearly ten meters on the hard road and respondedsolemnly, "The target is not someone ordinary weapons can deal with. I request permission to increasethe defense level. In addition, I suggest dispatching the Elite Forces…"

"You want to seek help from the Elite Forces? Fernando, stop replaceing excuses for your failure. I needyou to return immediately. You are no longer in charge of this arrest operation!"

The caller hung up immediately. Fernando's expression turned gloomy and a little worried. What arethose bureaucratic heads up to this time?

As everyone in the Ministry of Defense puzzled over how to proceed, Jacob had driven his blue car intoan alley. Suddenly, a three-meter-tall street lamp crashed down and pierced the bonnet of his car.

Jacob narrowed his eyes as a murderous aura burst out from him!

Half an hour later, on a secluded road with gradually decreasing traffic, a three-meter-tall street lampsuddenly fell and pierced through the front of a blue car.
