After blasting the jeep with a shot, He Ao slightly adjusted, turning the gun barrel toward the second vehicle in pursuit.

This vehicle was also a modified jeep with a Hyena logo on the front.

Click—

He Ao pulled the trigger.

Under the roar of engines, the glittering bullet instantly pierced the jeep’s windshield, went through the driver’s body, and struck the high-performance battery below.

Boom!!!

Right next to the jeep that had just been blown up, the thunderous sound of an explosion erupted once again.

Following the two jeeps was a pickup outfitted with a Hyena skull.

This pickup truck drove through between the two flaming jeeps, and then,

Boom!!!

Another shot rang out as the fire from the two jeeps sprayed onto the pickup truck, a massive explosion sounded in the middle of the road.

The pickup continued forward on its momentum, then stopped in the middle of the road; the three burning vehicles formed an arc-shaped blockade, blocking the path of any pursuers that came after.

He Ao slowly shifted the gun barrel, looking at the fourth vehicle in pursuit.

Hmm, the driver looked familiar—a scar-faced man.

But this time He Ao didn’t fire immediately. In his sights, the scar-faced man was fiercely turning the steering wheel, performing an extreme U-turn between the three blazing vehicles, with half the wheels off the ground before speeding away in a cloud of smoke.

And after the scar-faced man fled, the vehicles that were chasing behind him quickly turned tail and ran as well.

He Ao smiled, put away his sniper rifle, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, holding it in his mouth, his back to the three burning cars, and slowly sat back down in the passenger seat, "Let’s speed up."

Vianne floored the gas pedal, and the engine’s explosive roar thundered in an instant, whisking both away to vanish at the end of the street.

——

"They ran away?"

Sitting in the back of the sedan, seemingly resting with her eyes closed, a lady in a red dress sat up in shock, glanced at her bracelet, and picked up the smart glasses beside her to put on.

The sultry lady who had earlier handed her a tablet appeared in her field of view.

"Didn’t you call several small gangs, dozens of desperados? You couldn’t even kill a young girl?"

The lady in red rubbed her temples, speaking somewhat helplessly.

"A sniper driving a sports car saved her."

The sultry lady seemed troubled too, sighing lightly, a photo transmitted into the lady in red’s view.

Seeing that photo, the lady in red paused in brief astonishment.

"What’s wrong?"

The sultry lady on the phone asked softly.

"It’s nothing," the lady in red shook her head, leaning back into the soft cushion, "They bought tickets for tonight’s concert. I’ll go personally and send them off."

——

In the underground parking not far from the Nord building, He Ao packed away his briefcase and took off the car keys, stepping down from the sports car.

"Give me the tickets."

The roof of the sports car rose slowly, and he turned his head, looking at Vianne.

Vianne hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Are you going alone, uncle?"

"Yes," He Ao gave her a glance, handing her the briefcase, "You go back to the safe house first. Tonight might be dangerous, take good care of yourself."

He didn’t hand over the car keys to Vianne; the sports car was too conspicuous. If Vianne drove it out alone, she might not be able to protect herself.

"Okay," Vianne was quiet for a moment, then took the briefcase and pulled out a concert ticket from her pocket and handed it to He Ao, "Uncle, be careful."

"Sure."

He Ao opened the front trunk, took out the metal box inside, secured the tickets, and walked slowly towards the exit of the underground parking.

Vianne watched as He Ao entered the elevator; her overcoat slowly opened, revealing the mechanical arm hidden within slowly extending,

a silver test tube held by the mechanical arm appeared in front of her.

The gray liquid inside flowed quietly.

As one of the Federation’s top fifty consortia, Nord Consortium had industries spanning finance, agriculture, healthcare, communications, virtual networks, light industrial production, retail, and so forth, and any of its actions could stir a storm across the entire Federation.

And the Nord Building, being one of the three headquarters of the Nord Consortium, towered to 197 floors and was one of the tallest buildings in the Crown District, hailed as the gem on the crown of Dawn City.

At this moment, He Ao stood beneath this magnificent building, looking up at the towering edifice that pierced the clouds.

The height of the Nord Building even surpassed the high walls that protected the safety of Dawn City. Standing on the plaza at the building’s top, one could peer through the misty clouds to see the green wilderness beyond, a fatally tempting sight for most citizens of Dawn City who had never seen the wilderness in their lifetime.

Of course, getting to the top floor of the Nord Building to enjoy the view wasn’t cheap.

The Nord Consortium would seize every opportunity to make money.

However, the concert was scheduled for the evening when, in the pitch-black night, aside from the brilliant city lights that covered the whole city, everything else was invisible.

Now, as dusk approached, He Ao walked to the entrance of the Nord Building under the dim twilight.

"Sir, please undergo a check."

The doorman, in a crisp black suit, stopped He Ao and pressed a button on a black stanchion beside him. A pale green glow emitted from the stanchion, scanning He Ao’s body and, after which a green light illuminated on the pillar.

That gleam meant ’safe, no dangerous items.’

This security check device was designed to detect firearms and explosives, preventing dangerous elements from infiltrating the Nord Building. Roy had been here before and was quite familiar with these security measures, so He Ao hadn’t brought his briefcase over.

"Sir, may we open your case?"

Seeing the green light on the detection equipment, the doorman visibly relaxed, since He Ao was tall and wore an all-black overcoat, with a faint aura of sternness in his steps that made him fear encountering a tough character.

After making this request, He Ao hesitated visibly.

This made the doorman’s nerves tense in an instant, and he explained, resisting the urge to call for security, "Sir, this is for safety checks, for your safety as well as for the safety of other guests. It’s mandatory."

"Alright."

He Ao, conflicted, passed the case over.

The doorman carefully took the case and opened it slowly.

What first caught his eye was a cute photo collection of Qi Ke.

"Cough," He Ao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "That’s for my daughter; she really likes Qi Ke, so she asked me to bring a photo collection... to get an autograph or something... cough cough... that’s what young girls like these days... Is that okay now?"

"Of course, that’s okay," the doorman said, closing the case with an expression of understanding, "Welcome to the Nord Building, and have an enjoyable evening."

"Thank you."

He Ao said thanks softly, took his case, and entered the Nord Building.

"The uncles of today sure know how to live it up, even chasing stars."

A doorman on duty came over.

In their eyes, what He Ao said was clearly a lie; what daughter would ask her father to come to a concert for a star? Only fans themselves would come.

"Well, that’s pretty normal," the doorman who checked He Ao shrugged, "Who doesn’t love my wife Qi Ke, right? Cute and kind, and her singing is amazing too. If I weren’t working, I’d also love to go up and listen to the concert."

"Come on now," another doorman ’shushed’ him, "You talk as if you could get a ticket, ’my wife, my wife.’ Clearly, she’s my wife."

"Your wife is really awesome," another doorman joined the conversation.

"Asking for a beating!"

The three of them tussled together.

The sun set behind the mountains.

The silent night swallowed the last glimmers of light that lay upon the people.
