"No. Please don't kill us!" A man was pleading for the people behind him, who seemed to be his wife and son.

"Shut up!" The terrorist punched him while dragging him out. "Hurry up and join the others!"

"Mama…" The boy was crying while the wife was too scared to speak. She just hugged the young boy so that he didn't see much.

In the end, the entire family was dragged outside until they reached the group of people the terrorists had gathered.

However, everything changed the moment they joined together with the rest of the hostages.

Suddenly, a man's voice echoed from the second floor. "Stop! Do you know that what you are doing is wrong, terrorists?"

"!!!" The Tier 4 captain raised his head, looking at Ran on the second floor's bridge.

All the other terrorists had also raised their weapons, aiming at him. All of them were ready to shoot.

However, the terrorist captain felt that this wannabe hero was another Tier 4 human like him. In other words, this battle would definitely become tricky.

Still, one thing made the terrorists think they could win this. Even though Ran was a Tier 4 human, it didn't appear he was a smart one.

After all, he should have known that ambushing the enemies would be much better than just showing up like this. At least he could eliminate a few people first.

"To think there is a Tier 4 human in this place…" The terrorist captain smirked while pointing his finger at him. "Don't be afraid. As long as we have enough people, we can kill him."

All the terrorists had a resolute expression and started moving forward.

"Then, you shall fight me here." Ran harrumphed.

"This is why I hate the justice bastard. You all are idiots." The terrorist captain laughed while sending his people forth.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

The terrorists began to shoot Ran from the first floor, but to their surprise, Ran simply raised his coat to block all the bullets.

The glasses shattered, the metal was punctured, yet the coat remained intact as if it were made of something more durable than steel.

"What?" The terrorists were shocked, but the captain simply said, "It doesn't matter. Surround him. That coat won't be able to protect him from all directions."

The terrorists then formed a position as they made their way toward the dead escalators. They continued shooting Ran to provide cover fire so that Ran wouldn't be able to attack them.

Once they reached a certain store, someone suddenly broke out the window.

"!!!" The terrorists widened their eyes in shock, but it was already too late. The only thing they could see was a man sending their heads flying with a long sword.

There were at least four of them dying from a single slash.

"Shoot—" The terrorists tried to change their focus, but Jacksie cut down two more people before a Tier 2 terrorist took out a knife and charged at him.

"You bastard!" The Tier 2 terrorist tried to stab Jacksie, but the latter lowered his weapon and blocked the dagger with the body of the sword. He even raised a similar coat that protected Ran from the bullets the terrorists shot.

The Tier 2 terrorist immediately got away so that he didn't get hit.

Meanwhile, the terrorists from the other side were coming toward him. Even the captain was fuming in anger. He was glaring at Ran, who actually bluffed his way out of this.

"Oops. It's not me. It's us." Ran smirked while jumping off the second floor to stop these terrorists from helping their comrades.

"You motherfucker!" The captain jumped toward Ran and swung his giant sword before Ran could land on the ground. In fact, his swing was so powerful that Ran was launched back to the second floor.

Ran skillfully grabbed the railing and stabilized himself, but the captain had jumped once again.

Ran's choice of weapon was actually a spear. He managed to stop the first attack, but the captain now had all his momentum and waved that big sword at him.

"Haaa!" The captain roared and smashed Ran with everything he had.

To Ran's surprise, the big sword actually bent the spear.

"A Tier 3 spear can't stop it?" Ran muttered before he tried to kick the captain from the right.

However, the terrorist captain immediately changed his stance and completed his swing, smashing his sword to the ground.

Ran abruptly stopped his kick or that sword would have cut his foot. More importantly, the swing was so strong that it actually left a small crater on the floor. If this continued, the bridge might collapse after a few swings.

Ran skillfully grabbed the bent spear and made a couple of thrusts.

The terrorist's captain easily blocked them, but Ran never intended to fight the captain head on.

With a single blink of an eye, Ran's vision suddenly changed. It felt like the world had become a simulation, and he could see the world from an omniscient point of view.

Even though his vision was blocked by the floor, he could actually see Jacksie being suppressed by all those bullets from the terrorists. If this continued, the bullets might pierce through that coat.

Ran suddenly grabbed a grenade from his back as though he wanted to blast the terrorist captain with this one. Even if a Tier 4 human could survive the blast, it would still hurt him.

Seeing this grenade, the captain took a step back but soon realized that he had fallen into his trick.

Ran tossed the grenade to the first floor, specifically in the middle of the terrorists.

"!!!" Jacksie definitely saw that grenade and immediately jumped back. Meanwhile, the terrorists were still confused as to what happened.

"Get down!" The Tier 2 humans had higher reaction speed, so they shouted while throwing themselves away.

*Boom!*

The grenade hit seven people, of whom two died on the spot while the other five sustained quite a lot of injuries.

Seeing this opening made Jacksie feel delighted. This was the sign of their counterattack.
