Chapter 235: A Mutant?

Bang!

The sound of the gunshot echoed in the air, with everyone around having mixed reactions to the sudden attack.

For the lady, she yelped in shock and fear, as she had not expected that there was someone else that was going to be implicated because of her.

Additionally, she had expected that they would end up beating Michael, but not straight away killing him. After all, Michael had not tried to resist, or fight back like her bodyguards.

Each of her bodyguard had a gun on them, which was why they had been killed the moment that they tried to pull them out.

The leader of the group on the other hand simply raised his brows slightly at that. Even he himself had not expected that his subordinate would suddenly pull the trigger.

But he thought to himself, it didn’t matter. In any case, this was just a collateral. So, even if he died, it wouldn’t matter, as long as they completed the task that they had been assigned.

As for Michael, his expression turned completely cold. Unexpectedly, this guy would suddenly pull the trigger, just because he had dodged the attack.

Of course, Michael already anticipated that these guys were cruel, considering that they had already killed two people. It was just that, he did not expect that they would suddenly try to kill him just because he said a few words.

Yes, the words that he had said were kind of stupid, that he had to admit. Still, was it really necessary for them to pull the trigger?

Nevertheless, since this guy had decided to strike, then Michael would not hold back either. So, he took action in the next moment, while everyone was left dumbfounded.

The guy who had pulled the trigger, was already expecting that at such a close range, Michael’s head would suddenly passed from the sheer power of the bullet.

But what he did not expect was the fact that, just before he pulled the trigger, Michael would move, managing to dodge the bullet.

And even before he could express his shock, Michael suddenly made a move, clumping his shoulder with his hand.

At the same time, Michael’s other hand suddenly moved, gripping the wrist of the hand that was holding the gun, not giving the guy the chance to shoot at all.

Michael’s movements were extremely fast, to the extent that the masked guy did not even have a chance of reacting.

By the time that he reacted, he had already been grabbed by Michael, so, he could only try to resist.

Unfortunately, Michael increased the pressure that he was applying on the wrist, and the sound of cracking bones could be heard, making many people tremble.

Aaah!

As the guy began screaming from the pain, Michael suddenly twisted the other hand that was grabbing the neck, while increasing the pressure as well.

The man fought at first, fingers of his free hand digging into Michael’s hand, while his boots scraped the ground, struggling.

But, the struggle faltered as the grip tightened. And as the sharp twist followed, a quiet crack rang in the air.

Then, all the resistance that Michael felt vanished.

The man’s body went limp, hands slipping away as his eyes lost focus. For a fleeting second, a faint tremor passed through him.

But in the next moment, he ceased breathing and moving.

Michael did not continue holding the body in his hands, as he released it, allowing it to collapse onto the ground with a thud.

This time, nobody reacted, as they had not anticipated something like this. They just gazed at the corpse on the ground, failing to blink.

Michael on the other hand did not have much of a reaction to this. Instead, he just turned around, gazed at the leader of the group, before he asked in a low voice, “Are you also going to attempt to kill me?”

It was only at this moment that the leader of the group finally came back to his senses. With his body trembling slightly, he pointed his gun towards Michael.

The others around also ignored the lady that they were initially pointing guns at, all of them aiming at Michael. They understood, at the moment, Michael was very dangerous.

“Who sent you here? Are you here to rescue this lady?” The leader of the group mastered his courage as he asked, masking his shock with a harsh tone.

Michael on the other hand, upon hearing the man’s words, was left speechless for a moment. Could it be that this guy had been scared out of his wits, that he had begun talking nonsense?

He could not help but ask, “Are you not the ones who asked me to come here? I was just about to leave, then one of you stopped me from leaving. So, how is it that you are claiming that I came to look for you guys?”

There was a moment of silence, as the group of men gazed at Michael, before they gazed at each other, not sure how to respond. After all, thinking about it, it seemed that they really were the ones who had called Michael over.

More than that, he had attempted to leave, only for one of them to stop him.

“Since that is the case, then it is our fault for bringing you here. But even then, you have killed my man. For that, you will have to pay.” The leader of the group gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Then, not wasting time with unnecessary words, he aimed the gun at Michael’s chest, before he pulled the trigger.

He had experienced quite an above situations involving murder. For himself, he had already killed quite a number of people, so, he did not have any qualms with killing more people.

The only reason why he had spoken to Michael was simply because he was trying to calm down his nerves.

After all, what Michael had just demonstrated exceeded what was expected of a normal human. Even if someone trained for years, they would not be able to do what Michael had done.

That speed, the strength that he possessed, all of them, even the leader of the group understood that he would not deal with it.

So, he did not dare to approach Michael, instead, he shot from a distance. He believed, by doing this, he would avoid a situation where Michael would suddenly clamp his neck or wrist.

As for why he did not aim for the headshot, did they not see what had happened before? Michael had somehow managed to dodge the bullet.

So, by aiming for his chest, at least, the area of the target would be bigger, making it difficult to miss.

Bang!

There was yet another gunshot, but just like before, in the incredulous gazes of the group, they watched as Michael suddenly twisted his body, dodging the bullet.

But, the leader of the group had already thought of the possibility of Michael dodging the bullet. So, he did not just shoot once, instead, he continuously pulled the trigger, until the magazine was emptied.

But the result was still the same. Michael had managed to dodge all the bullets, with his movements extremely fast, sometimes, his body bending in an almost impossible angle.

At this moment, unknowingly, the entire group was already sweating. By now, they had realized, they had messed up.

It was clear, this was not a normal human. Otherwise, by now, those bullets would have already turned him into a sieve.

“Damn it! Are you a monster? Wait, no, don’t tell me, are you a mutant? How is that even possible that there is a mutant here?!” The leader of the group gazed at Michael with horror in his eyes, as he continuously asked.

The content of his words was quite shocking, not only to Michael, but even the people around. It seemed that what Michael had demonstrated was something that was expected of a mutant?

Michael did not even know about the existence of mutants. It seemed that he would have to pay much more attention to the happenings around the world, even if it did not involve him.

But that was something that he would have to deal with later. As for now, looking at the horrified gazes of the group of men around, Michael decided to take action and deal with them all.

“Shoot! All of you, shoot at once! Don’t allow him to get closer, or we will be done for!” The leader of the group hurriedly shouted.

Though there was a slight delay, the group reacted, as they all began shooting towards Michael.

On the other hand, Michael did not react. This time, he did not even bother to try and dodge the bullets.

Since it seemed that he was being linked to the so-called mutants, then so be it. He could as well deal with them in a much more easy way.

So, as the hail of bullets descended on him, the bullets were blocked by the adaptive dermal lattice armor, to the extent that they were suddenly flattened from the force of the propulsion from the gun muzzle and the hardness of the armor.

And just a few seconds later, after everyone had stopped shooting, they all gazed at Michael as though they were looking at a monster.
