Lek's strength was 71, and he indeed had grounds for confidence!
The World Battlefield had only been open for a little over two months. Normally, it was considered quite good to increase one's physical attributes to three to four times that of an ordinary person.
Therefore, Lek's strength level could be said to be far ahead of the curve.
In fact, Lek had never lost a close-quarters strength contest.
However…
With the enhancement from the T-virus and the Five Spirit Disc, Bai Ye's strength attribute had already surpassed Lek's. Now, with the added boost from the "Robust Physique" ability, Bai Ye's strength directly broke through one hundred!
Completely immovable!
And in the instant Lek was astonished, Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed Lek's shoulder.
Intense pain shot through him, and sweat beaded on Lek's forehead. That spot had been injured in a previous fight, and now that Bai Ye had gripped it, the immense pain made Lek's expression contort instantly.
But it wasn't over yet!
After gripping Lek's shoulder, Bai Ye suddenly delivered a sweeping kick to the side of Lek's thigh.
This time, the searing pain caused Lek to drop to his knees.
It was his wound again!
Lek roared and, still on his knees, threw a punch towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But…
Bai Ye was faster!
Bai Ye directly headbutted Lek with his knee, then used his calf to press down on Lek's neck, forcing Lek's head directly against the wall.
Bai Ye asked, "Is Alex in your hands?"
Lek gritted his teeth and raised his arm to swing backward, but Bai Ye caught it, clamped it under his ribs, and twisted Lek's arm behind his back.
"Sorry, it's not your fault for being angry, it's my mistake. Looking at you, Alex isn't with you right now." Bai Ye said, "Let's change the question. Where did Alex go?"
Lek clenched his jaw and strained with all his might, trying to break free.
"I really don't understand why some people are so foolish," Bai Ye shook his head. "Do they only speak when they're forced to experience pain?"
*Crack!*
The moment Bai Ye spoke, he forcefully bent Lek's arm, and the crisp sound of bone cracking echoed.
"Ah!"
Lek cried out in pain, sweat dripping down his face.
That arm hung limply, devoid of strength.
Bai Ye grabbed Lek's hair, pulled him up, and said, "I don't know if your companion took Alex away, or if someone else snatched Alex from you, or if you were here to grab Alex. You'd better understand the current situation. Whether you tell me or not, Alex is no longer yours. You should be worried about your own life right now."
Lek panted, his chest heaving, and looked at Bai Ye with anger in his eyes.
"Can't stand not getting beaten, huh?" Bai Ye grabbed Lek's other arm. "You brought this on yourself."
"We were ambushed!" Lek shouted. "This church is actually Alex's secret trading post. He dug a tunnel inside the church that leads to the Red Gate Bridge. After crossing the bridge, you leave the city. But when we arrived, Alex's subordinates were fighting with a group of gangsters. The tunnel was also blown up by the other side. Then, we planned to retreat, but we were ambushed, and Alex was taken away by them."
Bai Ye asked curiously, "Why would the gangsters blow up the tunnel?"
Lek replied, "They are people from other drug lords. If Alex goes to prison, all the business Alex left behind will belong to them."
Bai Ye showed a look of realization. How could he forget about these minor players? Indeed, "other drug lords" were also a faction, and they were on the side of the police.
Bai Ye said, "Then where is Alex now?"
"Don't know." Lek said, "Huang Chengjun went to chase."
Bai Ye nodded and suddenly grabbed Lek's nape.
Lek was instantly alarmed and struggled quickly, but Bai Ye's hand was like an iron clamp, and no matter how Lek struggled, it was useless.
Lek roared, "You broke your promise."
Bai Ye replied, "I never said anything about you. If you cooperate, I'll let you go!"
*Crack!*
Bai Ye forcefully twisted Lek's neck, and Lek's body went limp, slumping to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.
Bai Ye grinned, then stepped over the corpse, walked through the corridor, and quickly left through the back door.
But…
*Clang, clang, clang…*
As soon as Bai Ye pushed the door open, gunshots rang out, hitting the iron door with crisp sounds.
Bai Ye peeked out. Those police officers were well-prepared and were already encircling the back door.
Bai Ye took out his Beast Taming Ball and threw it forward forcefully, saying, "Goodra, take care of them!"
The Beast Taming Ball arced through the air, and upon landing, a white light flashed, and Goodra appeared before the police officers.
"Yaa~"
Goodra cried out, but unfortunately, the sound lacked any deterrent power.
However, Goodra's appearance still startled the police officers…
What kind of monster is this?
The next moment, the police officers quickly opened fire towards Goodra.
But…
The bullets were ineffective against Goodra!
The bullets continuously struck Goodra's body, but the mucus on Goodra's body acted like armor. When the bullets hit Goodra, they hadn't even penetrated the mucus before, due to the mucus's lubrication, they grazed Goodra's body and flew away, unable to cause any damage.
"Yaa~"
Goodra cried out, suddenly shaking its head. Then, the two antennae on its head shot forward, hitting two police officers and sending them flying.
Bai Ye shouted, "Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"
Goodra nodded, then spread its arms and opened its mouth towards the front.
The next moment, a large area of radiance appeared in Goodra's mouth, slowly condensing and quickly forming a ball of light.
Then…
Goodra flicked its head forward, and the ball of light flew forward.
The police officers had no idea what Dragon Pulse was. Upon seeing the ball of light, they instinctively retreated backward, but at that moment…
*Boom!*
The ball of light suddenly exploded, forming the Dragon Pulse!
A powerful shockwave pushed outward in all directions, sending the police officers flying and crashing into their surroundings.
"Well done!"
Bai Ye ran over from behind, high-fived Goodra, and then recalled Goodra into the Beast Taming Ball. He then jogged forward and exited the alley.
After leaving the alley, he could still faintly hear gunshots from the front, indicating that the exchange of fire was ongoing. He looked up at the sky; Scyther was nowhere to be seen.
But at this moment…
The sound of brakes suddenly appeared, and a car stopped beside Bai Ye.
…
