<h4>Chapter 1488: Chapter 1485: May the Darkness Be with You (4th Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    As the endless rain of bullets poured down, heading straight for the young man sitting at the coffee table.


    The young man sharply raised his eyes, and then all the bullets froze before him.


    Then, these bullets changed direction, turning back towards the shooter.


    The speed was so fast that it cut through the darkness with phantoms.


    No screams.


    Because before these people had a chance to react, the bullets had already pierced through, then turned into dust.


    Next, these people fell to the ground with a thud, bing corpses.


    Only Copet on the sofa was unscathed.


    But he was clearly terrified by the scene, so when he saw the young maning toward him, he abandoned resistance without any hesitation and began to beg frantically.


    But the young man paid no attention, instead, casually asking a few questions!


    Of course, due to rule restrictions, Ss could only see the scene, unable to reproduce the sound of the time.


    Then, the young man lightly waved his hand.


    Copet’s head fell off in response, the young man ced his head on the table and his mechanical arm beside it.


    After doing all this, the young man suddenly raised his eyes and nced to the side.


    It was this one nce that made Ss feel the timeline copsing instantly, the event factors scatter, and the phantoms before his eyes vanish.


    But it was already enough; at least he saw the image of the person who killed Copet!


    So a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, Xue An’s image floated in the air.


    "The person you want to protect, is it him?"


    Heda, whose facial bones had already been crushed, saw the hologram, and her pupils shrank into pinpoints.


    She didn’t understand what was happening, but she still tightly shut her mouth and said nothing.


    "Very good! It seems I guessed correctly!" Ss lightly whistled, then turned and smiled at Moritz.


    "Moritz, now take this hologram and investigate who all interacted with this young man that night, and also where he has gone now!"


    "Yes!"


    Moritz wasn’t very smart, that was evident from his performance throughout this day.


    Just with a little investigation, one could easily know that Copet’s motorcycle was gone.


    But he did nothing at all.


    Yet he was also a highly efficient worker.


    Once given orders from above, hepletes tasks in no time.


    So in less than an hour, he had fully investigated Xue An’s activities from that night.


    Meanwhile, even the driver of the ck car and Alisha were already brought back.


    Alisha still didn’t know what had happened, but she was clearly not as strong as Heda, as it took just a few tricks from Ss to make her cry out everything she knew.


    Sadly, no one believed her words.


    "Beautiful woman, are you trying to tell me that a boy who lives by scavenging trash, bullied by people like Copet yesterday, suddenly turned deadly today and tore off poor Copet’s head?" Ss said casually.


    Alisha, having lost three fingernails, cried and said, "That’s truly what happened! I didn’t lie for a single word!"


    Ss slightly raised an eyebrow, then looked toward the driver of the ck car.


    "Do you believe it?"


    The driver, frightened to the point of near incontinence, trembled even more at the words, "S...sir, I don’t know! But that Andrew gave me a gear at the end, then rode off on the motorcycle!"


    "Rode off! To where?" Ss asked indifferently.


    "I don’t know, but he did ask about the direction to Qingshi Cheng as he left!" The driver said fearfully.


    Just as he finished speaking, Heda suddenly let out a shrill howl, clearly in utmost despair.


    Ss showed a satisfied smile.


    "Sir, your honesty has earned my respect! This information is also very useful to me!"


    The driver breathed a sigh of relief, then fawned, saying, "So can I leave now...?"


    His words remained unfinished, never to bepleted.


    Because right then, Ss suddenly pulled out a small handgun and blew his head off with one shot.


    The huge gunshot echoed through the corridor.


    The driver’s head sttered across the corridor.


    Moritz, being closest, was drenched but didn’t dare to even wipe it, only trembling as he stood there.


    Ss seemed very satisfied with his shot, gently blowing the swirling blue smoke from the barrel, calmly saying: "To express my gratitude, I’ve decided to let you rest in eternal sleep beneath my gun. May the darkness be with you!"


    After that, he turned to look at Alisha.


    Alisha screamed in terror.


    Ss smiled slightly, "Beautiful woman, please don’t scream so loudly; your voice might hoarse! Besides, don’t worry, I won’t kill you two now because you both must wait to meet Mr. Andrew before having the honors to die! Now... let’s set off!"


    Ss said enthusiastically.


    Meanwhile.


    Admiring the night scene outside at a window on the second floor, Xue An felt something, turned to gaze at the distant skyline, and slightly frowned.


    "Peering into the timeline? No, it should be some secret technique tracing through event factors! Interesting!"


    He muttered gently, leaning back in the chair, calmly saying, "Since you’re here,e in!"


    As the words fell, Zhuang Linyan, dressed in new clothes, walked in.


    Different from the daytime’s iciness, Zhuang Linyan now wore casual home attire, adding a touch of softness, while in her hand, she carried an invitation.


    "Sir, here’s the auction invitation, with this you can attend when the timees!"


    Xue An nodded indifferently, "Got the invitation so quickly? Looks like you’ve prepared early on!"


    Zhuang Linyan revealed a slight bitter smile, "There was no preparation, just a friend of mine happens to be the daughter of a lord in the Inner City. Through her, I managed to get the invitation so smoothly!"


    Speaking to here, Zhuang Linyan nced at Xue An with some confusion, "Sir, although I shouldn’t ask, the auction’s items are all extremely precious and pricey, and to auction them requires strict verification. I wonder if you...?"


    She was indeed curious, as she specially visited the Inner City for this today, and the friend who gave her the invitation curiously asked her these questions at the time.


    Unexpectedly, Xue An simply smiled at the words, "I’m going to the auction just to find something I want, as for the value... that’s not within my consideration range!"
