At night, St. George’s University transitioned from daytime hustle and bustle to gradually stillness.

Su Lu purposefully changed his clothes, donning a baseball cap, and prepared a mask, as he lurked around the vicinity of Catherine’s residence.

As a university tutor, she enjoyed a handsome income and had leased an apartment near the university.

‘If I were an official law enforcer dealing with such a Transcendent case, I definitely wouldn’t make it a big show… It would be best to quietly, without any noise, resolve it…’

Of course, such action cannot always be peaceful, even if everything goes well, the police station would have to explain to the university why they arrested a teacher the next day.

He found a coffee shop nearby, it was a low-cost community store at a glance.

“Hello! What can I get for you?”

After entering the coffee shop, a red-haired girl holding a meal tray greeted him politely.

From her appearance, she seemed to be a student working here.

“A cup of coffee!”

Su Lu glanced around and saw that the coffee shop wasn’t too crowded: “Two cream bread and a black pepper sausage!”

After ordering, he sat down at a window seat.

From this corner, he can perfectly see Catherine’s residence.

“Alright!”

The waitress quickly took note: “Anything else you need?”

“No, thank you!”

Su Lu nodded, scanned the customers in the coffee shop. Because it was already late, there were very few people, a homeless-looking guy was occupying a long sofa, fast asleep.

Well, the environment was fine.

Su Lu settled down to wait.

“Sir, your coffee!”

It didn’t take long for the waitress to bring the coffee and pastries.

Su cut a piece of the black pepper sausage, placed it in his mouth, his eyes brightened.

The fragrant sausage exploded with juice as he bit it, perfectly complementing the unique taste of black pepper, which made him eat a few more bites.

This is why such a small shop can survive, always having a trick or two up their sleeve, not just because it’s cheap.

Just as Su Lu picked up the second cream bread, his expression shifted.

Through the glass, he noticed that many shadows had appeared out of nowhere, surrounding the apartment where Catherine resided. Their trained behavior and the occasional visible logo on their clothes testified that they were a squadron of cops!

‘It’s starting!’

Su Lu downed his coffee in one gulp, took out the mask from the bag, and quickly put it on.

At the same time, he noticed that the police laid siege to the apartment, but did not attack, letting a few guys in black trench coat burst in.

‘The legendary agencies?’

He chuckled in his heart, guessing their identities.

In a world with Transcendent powers, as a great nation, the White Eagle Federation must have its own powerful Transcendent organization to maintain law and order.

Perhaps, these men in black trench coats were part of such an institution.

‘I just don’t know what it’s called, S.H.I.E.L.D.? Area 11?’

Su Lu glanced at the encirclement again.

Obviously, if someone else had this kind of formation against him, he wouldn’t have much room to fight back.

With the possibility of several Transcendents, plus a team of elite cops, it’s more than enough to deal with Catherine!

But…..

The corners of Su Lu’s mouth slightly curled up.

There are always exceptions to everything, aren’t there?

Apart from himself, who has met them, who would know that besides Catherine, there’s another Transcendent!

The addition of another Transcendent, this absolute variable, can deliver a devastating blow to a meticulous plan – if he teams up with Catherine!

‘From a logical point of view, Catherine just showed her hand to me today. It’s normal to think that she would be worried about me attacking her, so hiding another Transcendent in her flat is a logical thing to do! If she didn’t do so, she’s just not vigilant enough and can’t blame anyone else for her death!’

Su Lu thought casually.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot shard through the quiet night!

Whoosh!

In the void, it seemed as if a storm had swept past.

Outside the apartment, the cops originally hiding there were lying all over the place, like scattered scarecrows.

The situation immediately reminded Su Lu of the attack he had suffered last night, that feeling of his soul being weighed down!

As a transmigrator with a spirit Gundam of 1.6, he still felt that pressure, let alone ordinary people.

“The other witch from last night is indeed here!”

At this point, the disturbance outside had attracted much attention.

Su Lu quickly left a tip, hurriedly got up, and ran out the coffee shop.

Click!

Across the street, he could see that the glass of Catherine’s apartment was all shattered, a man in a black trench coat tumbled out in embarrassment: “Careful! She’s not alone!”

“Charge in!”

A few people struggled to stand up amidst the bodies lying around, they must have higher spirit data. Seeing the situation, they gritted their teeth, drew out their revolvers, and stormed into the apartment.

Bang! Bang!

One gunshot after another was heard, followed by a woman’s desperate shriek:

Bang! Bang!

More gunfire echoed, and then, Su Lu saw Catherine.

She was wearing a red evening gown, still breathtakingly beautiful. But her face was filled with despair and resentment as she strode out of the apartment’s blood-drenched entrance, like a queen attending a ceremony.

Even if her body was full of blood, it was unclear whether it was hers or someone else’s, Catherine’s facial expression was still so haughty.

Three stiff figures crowded around her, like guards.

‘Are they the black trench coats and police officers who rushed in? They were controlled? The limit is three?’

As Su Lu watched this scene, he involuntarily shrunk back into the darkness.

“You…you dare kill her!”

Catherine screeched, her high-pitched voice could shatter glass, it sounded so angry.

‘A newly joined Transcendent, indeed a decisive variable! Because of this, at least both parties couldn’t back out!’

Su Lu quietly waited.

Although Catherine was unexpectedly strong, how could the official power fear such a low-level Transcendent?

Furthermore, Catherine seemed to be heavily injured, and barely holding on. As for the other Transcendent, could he have been killed already?

“You…will all die!”

Falling into the madness, Catherine yelled, and the puppets she controlled raised their guns, aiming at the cops who were previously scattered all over the place.

Bang!

A larger explosion came.

Su Lu trembled, seeing a bloody hole in Catherine’s head as she fell back.

‘That’s… a sniper!’

The scene looked exactly like a long-range sniping.

‘No chance to take advantage.’

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate, turned around and left: ‘But it’s also good… at least… the puppet master was killed, right?’

Thinking of Catherine’s death, and thinking of Beryl, Su Lu felt a sudden wave

of relief in his heart..
