Glah!

A dull thud and the sound of bones breaking rang out. The man who was finishing off the enemy was like a water bag that had been squeezed to the point of bursting. Under the violent impact, the liquid inside his body burst out of his pores and exploded in all directions.

With the body gone, Mo Jiang's view was now completely unobstructed.

The remaining three men who were cleaning up the mess were horrified to see their colleague die; they could understand that someone was killed by a gun or a sharp weapon.

But at this moment, the way Mo Jiang killed the two finishers with his bare hands exceeded their expectations.

Not only can it tear apart bulletproof vests with its bare hands, it can also tear apart human bodies.

They were able to charge forward while lifting a corpse weighing over 200 pounds.

They could clearly see that Mo Jiang's charging speed just now definitely exceeded 100 kilometers per hour.

That wasn't a person at all, but a brand-new sports car that could accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in less than 1.5 seconds.

Surprise, fear, and other negative emotions kept arising and even began to spread.

But as well-trained finishers, they instinctively raised their guns and aimed them at Mo Jiang.

Now that he no longer had a human shield, and trusting in the guns, the finisher assumed that Mo Jiang would surely die in the face of the three guns.

But they seem to have forgotten something.

They forgot their goal; there were two people involved.

Suddenly, the three men's headsets emitted a piercing noise, causing them excruciating headaches. They failed to notice the red warning lights emanating from their phones.

The phone overloaded, the battery exploded, and the explosion further detonated the explosives and grenades they were carrying.

"boom!!!"

Smoke filled the air, and gunshots rang out continuously.

After the smoke cleared, only three charred and mangled corpses remained, along with many other men lying on the ground, left to clean up the mess.

They were all shot in vital areas and killed instantly.

As for who fired the shot, besides Aiden, it was Mo Jiang.

After he snatched a pistol from the finisher, the chase was essentially over.

Mo Jiang, whose five senses and reaction speed are stronger than the Reaper's, unleashes a more powerful and terrifying lethality when he gets his hands on a gun.

All the cleanup crew members have been taken care of...

No, there's one more!

A sniper, having found a high vantage point, held a sniper rifle, the scope already aimed at Mo Jiang's brain, his finger on the trigger.

The next instant, he would pull the trigger and see through the scope that Mo Jiang's head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

But at that moment, the person finishing up saw Mo Jiang turn around and face him...

laugh? !

Before he could understand what Mo Jiang's smile meant, the person in charge saw a scene that infuriated him.

He saw Mo Jiang raise his pistol and point it in his direction.

He wants to snipe me with a pistol?!

With a straight-line distance of over thirty meters between them, how could someone intend to shoot themselves with a pistol that had no sights?!

For a fleeting moment, the finisher didn't know whether he should laugh or be angry, but neither of those things stopped him from pulling the trigger.

However, before the finisher could pull the trigger, Mo Jiang pulled it first.

Two gunshots rang out, echoing through the quiet alley.

The bullet left the barrel, spiraled upwards, and shot out in a straight line, covering a distance of thirty meters.

The two bullets converged and collided in mid-air. The sniper rifle bullet veered off course and flew off to an unknown destination, but the pistol bullet rose several angles upwards.

It was precisely these slight angles that caused the bullets, which should have missed their target, to shoot straight at the sniper.

It pierced through the sniper rifle's scope, entered the finisher's eye socket, and released its powerful kinetic energy into his brain, twisting it into a brain-destroying mess.

……

Five minutes later, after confirming through various hacking methods that all the cleanup crew members were dead and without reinforcements, Aiden emerged from the shadows.

His face showed a rare expression of surprise and astonishment.

"Did you just... kill a sniper with a pistol?"

Pistol, sniper, sniper...

Aiden had never imagined that words could be combined in this way.

After the crosshairs on his left eye slowly faded and his pupil returned to normal, Mo Jiang turned around. "I was just lucky. If that shot had missed, I would have had to hide in a sorry state."

This wasn't good luck; it was the effect of the [Archer's Potion].

Through this experience, Mo Jiang learned one thing: the Archer's Potion is more suitable for firearms than bows and arrows.

By collecting data such as wind speed, distance, recoil, and bullet impact angle using his mental power, he ultimately calculated the trajectory of the bullet as it appeared on his retina, enabling Mo Jiang to perform what could be considered "impossible"—a "pistol sniper kill."

However, this was not without its side effects. The sudden surge in calculations greatly depleted Mo Jiang's mental energy, consuming more than 70% of it in just a few seconds.

At this moment, Mo Jiang felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if he were being pricked by needles. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he was using mental energy as the computing medium.

If you were to use his brain to calculate...

I reckon it's about 40% cooked by now.

85. A fierce tiger and a cunning fox, criminal partners, and a gangster superstar.

After dealing with the cleanup crew, Aiden made a phone call and then left the alley with Mo Jiang.

"Don't we need to dispose of the body?"

Aiden shook his head. "The Cleaners' organization will handle the situations involving the Cleaners themselves."

This is a kind of unspoken rule in the shadows of Chicago: the chaos created by those who clean up the mess will be dealt with behind the scenes.

Of course, if they were to engage in a gunfight or explosion in public, it would be impossible to conceal.

Meanwhile, police in the city will increase patrols, and many security companies will also launch special offers during this time.

In this country, security is a business, not a free service to be taken for granted.

An hour later, the two stood in a secluded spot in the harbor.

Chicago is not on the coast, but the vast expanse of Lake Michigan gives one the illusion of being at sea.

They hadn't even changed their clothes. Given Aiden's hacking skills, it would be very difficult for him to find him through Chicago's surveillance cameras.

"You've been targeted by Lucky Quinn."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Aiden revealed a fact that would be extremely disheartening for anyone else.

Corruption was rampant in Chicago. Gang leaders like Lucky Quinn, the head of the Southern gang, and Iraq, the leader of the Vansroy gang, colluded with high-ranking officials such as the mayor. Chicago's police and prison systems were also infiltrated from top to bottom, turning the city into a breeding ground for crime.

Lucky Quinn was a powerful figure in both the legitimate and underworld circles in Chicago, with a business empire so vast and his power so immense that he was practically the uncrowned emperor of Chicago.

On the white path, the mayor had leverage over killing his secretary, and the Chicago Police Commissioner had also accepted bribes. The police not only turned a blind eye to the activities of Southern gangs, but even provided assistance when necessary.

In the underworld, the Vansroy gang, Chicago's second-largest gang, was now working for Lucky Quinn.

Under the leadership of Delford "Iraq" Wade, a former U.S. Army officer who had served in the Iraq War, the Vansroy gang quickly became a powerful organized crime group, second only to the Southern gangs in Chicago.

While the majority of the Vansroy gang's revenue comes from traditional drug manufacturing and distribution, their activities have expanded into new areas, including corruption, extortion, bribery, kidnapping, and even cybercrime.

Furthermore, under Iraq's leadership, they reached an agreement with Southern societies to protect the latter's newly established human trafficking network, which also brought the Vansroy gang closer to international crime.

To convince the public that the Vansroy gang was merely a street crime syndicate, Iraq divided its members into two categories. The first category consisted mainly of gang members who served as an outer force under the control of senior members appointed by Iraqi authorities.

The second group, referred to by Iraq as his "family members," consisted of his staunch supporters who had received formal military and combat training and were equipped with proper military gear.

It can be said that the Vansroy Gang is actually a military group composed of armed men who have received military training, are equipped with regular military equipment, and obey orders.

This terrifying power was now in the hands of Lucky Quinn.

The phrase "[Being targeted by Lucky Quinn]" means that you have been maliciously targeted by this city.

"Don't try to fool me with those words. I'm not easily intimidated."

Mo Jiang knew that Aiden intended to cooperate with him, since it was almost impossible for him to deal with both the underworld and the legitimate world of Chicago on his own.

The purpose of pointing out that Lucky Quinn was targeting Mo Jiang was to instill fear in Mo Jiang, thereby gaining the upper hand in the subsequent talks and team formation.

To put it simply, this fox is scheming and plans to become the captain.

Mo Jiang didn't intend to let Aiden control the pace of the conversation, and retorted directly, "I can fight or run away as I please, but what about you? If I'm being watched, won't you be watched too? Won't your family be watched?"

"Don't forget, Lucky Quinn has never been a kind guy. He's also involved in human trafficking. Guess how he'll treat the families of his opponents?"

The saying "the sins of the family should not be visited upon the innocent" is something ordinary people might just listen to and let go of, but for the overlord who controls Chicago's underworld, once provoked, he will inevitably crush any dissent.

Meanwhile, the families of those who oppose the movement will also face a hellish future.

Aiden's face immediately darkened. He knew perfectly well that what Mo Jiang said was true. From the time he was very young, Lucky Quinn had long been the overlord of this city.

He grew up listening to stories of Lucky Quinn and knew how cruel the guy was to his enemies.

“So let’s put aside this pointless probing.” Mo Jiang leaned forward slightly, like a tiger facing Aiden. “You can’t fight Lucky Quinn alone. You need me, and I need you.”

Mojang needs Aiden's hacking skills, and after witnessing Mojang's combat prowess, Aiden also realizes that he needs Mojang's fighting ability.

The ability to wipe out a squad of finishers without taking any damage in a very short time is undoubtedly what Aiden desperately needs.

"what do you want?"

Upon hearing Aiden's question, Mo Jiang's lips curled slightly as he sat on the railing. "I, Mo Jiang, have a dream: to become a gangster superstar."

There can only be one superstar, and right now, Chicago's mob superstar is Lucky Quinn.

If Mo Jiang wants to replace Lucky Quinn, there is only one way: kill Lucky Quinn and destroy the Southern Society and all organizations connected to it.

Aiden offered no comment on Mo Jiang's dream; all he needed to know was that Mo Jiang was going to be an enemy of Lucky Quinn.

Even if the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, he is at least on the same side.

A ferocious tiger and a cunning fox formed a team.

After confirming that the other side was on the same side, Aiden said, "Maurice, the guy who shot at my tires that day, I'm going to catch him. He's seen what Lina and Jackson look like."

"Also, I want to go into Bloom's system and erase my and my family's information."

The series of attacks made Aiden realize the danger, not only for him but also for his family.

Therefore, he had to erase his and his family's information from the system to avoid being hunted down by Lucky Quinn.

As for Morris?

He had met Aiden's family in person, so naturally he couldn't let him pass on the information.

Upon seeing Aiden and hearing his needs, Mo Jiang also promptly raised his own requirements.

"I took down a gang, help me find out if they have any hidden money."

"At the same time, I also need a safe house."

"By the way, do you know any gun shops that you can recommend? Preferably ones that offer discounts."

86. What haven't I seen? Paying for groceries in full? I've never seen anything like it.

Mo Jiang and Aiden have teamed up, but they haven't taken action yet.

Aiden needs more time to relocate his family, especially since Lina has only recently been out of danger and is not capable of a long-distance relocation.

At the same time, this team of two is not enough; at least, it is far from enough to destroy Lucky Quinn's underworld empire.

To destroy a force, you must completely destroy it in terms of funding, personnel, equipment, and even the relationships between its various organizations.

If they merely kill Lucky Quinn, then the next leader of the Southern Society will spare no effort in hunting down Mo Jiang and Aiden, thus raising the banner of revenge and succession.
