Chapter 29 Ambush! Unexpected Gains!
"Do I need a reason?"
Tony's words struck a chord with Horn, giving him a warmth he had never felt before.
He wasn't one to mince words; he picked up a pen and quickly wrote his name, Hornstack, on the contract.
At the same time, he secretly vowed that as long as he was alive, he would never let history repeat itself.
OK!
Seeing this, Tony smiled with satisfaction. "It's not safe to drive back so late. Stay here and rest. I'll have Pepper tidy up your room."
"No, I have things to take care of back home."
Horn shook his head, declining his offer, then flexed his arm muscles and said confidently, "Besides, with my skills, that won't happen again."
"Okay, be careful on your way back, and call me when you get home."
Tony didn't press the matter further and nodded, offering a word of advice.
As for why Horn had become so powerful, he didn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets. If Horn didn't tell him, he didn't plan to ask either, respecting the other person's privacy.
"Okay, see you later."
Horn checked the time; it was already past 10 p.m. He got up, waved goodbye, and left the lab.
Upon reaching the upstairs, they saw Pepper watching the stock market, his brow slightly furrowed, clearly somewhat worried. Seeing that Pepper was about to leave, Pepper immediately stood up and said, "It's so late, it's not safe for you to go home alone. Why don't you stay here with Tony for the night?"
"Don't worry, Pepper, everything will be alright."
Horn's confident smile reassured Pepper somewhat, but she was still a little worried. However, she didn't insist on keeping him. She just gave him a few words of advice, just like Tony did, and finally watched him get into the Bugatti and leave the villa.
Buzz—
The silver-white Bugatti roared like a beast.
Driven by Horn, we traveled along the only route home.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and without the slightest hesitation, he decisively jumped out of the car and left.
next second.
More than a dozen rockets, spewing flames, flew from all directions and struck the sports car with precision at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.
Boom—
In an instant, flames burst forth, a violent explosion rang out, and the entire Bugatti sports car transformed into a fireball, illuminating the night sky.
But that wasn't the end. One rocket after another was fired at the wreckage of the sports car, while several Gatling guns that had been set up spewed fire, raining down bullets like a storm, almost blocking all escape routes.
This high-frequency attack lasted for a full ten minutes, consuming countless bullets and rockets. The sports car wreckage had disappeared, and the ground had caved in, leaving a large crater riddled with holes like a honeycomb.
"Hmph, I don't believe you won't die by now."
The captain in the black suit was breathing heavily, his chest heaving, and his forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing the road completely destroyed by the bombing, he waved for his men to stop the attack.
"Don't worry, Captain, he'll definitely be torn to pieces this time."
His subordinate wiped the sweat from his brow and released the Gatling gun from his hands.
"Tsk tsk, I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've already delivered yourselves to my doorstep, using so much weaponry. You really think highly of me."
Just as they were about to finish their work and go back to report, a calm voice suddenly rang out behind them.
They were startled, a chill ran down their spines, and their faces stiffened, too afraid to turn around.
"Die! Die! Die!"
Some people even broke down on the spot, grabbed their rifles, turned around abruptly, and frantically pulled the trigger, firing wildly.
Are you looking for me?
The voice, like a ghost, reappeared behind him.
"Aaaaaah!"
He roared and turned his head.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared.
*Pfft*
His entire head flew off like a ball, and bright red blood gushed more than ten meters high.
Horn didn't give him a chance to pull the trigger again.
"A devil! He's the devil! Run!"
The group of burly men in black suits were stunned by this bizarre scene, completely losing their will to resist; all that remained was fear, intense fear.
Under such intense firepower for a full ten minutes, how could a human possibly remain completely unharmed and without sustaining any injury?
Only the devil!
This made them clearly realize just how enormous the gap in strength between the two sides was.
These are not even on the same level.
They hadn't even seen the other person before their head was severed out of thin air. This was something no human could do; the speed of the act completely shattered their understanding.
Only now do they understand what kind of being those armed squads of terrorists were facing.
They scrambled and crawled, covering their heads and fleeing in panic, trying to hide in the night and escape the terrifying silver light.
Thump thump thump—
They didn't expect that a burst of gunfire would suddenly erupt behind them.
In an instant, one after another, the burly men in black suits who had fled fell into pools of blood, like wheat harvested in autumn.
No one can escape the lock of Observation Haki!
At this moment, Horn was pleasantly surprised to find that after his Observation Haki was upgraded to the intermediate level, the limit of his perception range had expanded to within two hundred meters around him!
The effect was increased several times over!
"So strong!"
Horn was amazed as he experienced the effects of the upgrade.
Three minutes later, he had dealt with all fifty-odd burly men in black suits. After carefully checking them to make sure no one had escaped, he took out his phone and made a call. "I'll send you the coordinates and get someone to come and help me handle this."
"Deal with what!?"
Nick Fury, who was still at home worrying about stocks and unable to sleep, was stunned when he received the call. He was a little confused, but just as he was about to ask what was going on, the other party had already hung up!
"Fuck! What does this guy take me for?!"
He cursed under his breath, but still got out of bed and dialed Coulson's number.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully completing the iconic scene 'Being Ambushed'! Reward: One Beginner Blind Box!"
As soon as Horn put his phone away, a notification sound rang in his mind.
"Not bad, there was an unexpected bonus."
He smiled slightly, sent the coordinates to Nick Fury, and then opened the blind box.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained one [Armament Haki: Beginner] skill book!"
A dazzling golden light flashed, and a skill book appeared on the interface.
"Holy crap!? Another gold one? And it's Armament Haki?!"
Horn stared at the interface with disbelief, hardly able to believe it was real, and hurriedly clicked on the introduction.
