Chapter 410 Ambrose's Slaughter

?"Argh!" Hydra tried to twitch his finger enough to pull the trigger, but was unsuccessful.

"Ngh!" Jesse picked up a broken gun from the ground and threw it like a boomerang towards the armed men.

The gun spun through the air and slammed into a few of the armed men, knocking them to the ground.

Jesse dashed forward and shoved Hydra off balance, sending him crashing into a nearby wall.

Hydra, after colliding with the wall, stumbled to the ground, momentarily stunned. He started to feel that his mobility was recovering.

Jesse quickly snatched one of the guns from the armed man and kicked the man to the wall, knocking him unconscious.

He then used the automatic rifle as a sword and smashed it into the armed men's skulls, sending them flying across the room.

Hydra climbed back to his feet and pointed the gun at Jesse, ready to pull the trigger.

Jesse's eyes shrunk in a slightly fear, but he quickly put the gun into a slashing stance and shouted.

"Ambrose's Slaughter!"

Hydra's eyes widened in shock as he saw an illusionary figure rise behind Jesse. It was a tall, purple-eyed figure with a cold look on his face. He was wielding two gleaming swords, ready to strike.

Again, Hydra wasn't able to move; this time it was out of fear. His heart pounded hard against his chest out of extreme fear.

It was the second new skill of Jesse's. Both had the effect of stunning the opponent, and now he had three skills that could create a stunning effect.

They were Howling Rage, Ambrose's Slaughter, and High Pain.

"Aaaaah!" Jesse swung the gun and smashed Hydra in the face, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Hydra smashed through the wall and fell unconscious on a bathroom floor.

The last thing he saw was the purple-eyed Ambrose hovering above him with a dead look on his face, looking like a grim reaper.

Jesse dropped the gun to the ground and breathed heavily. He then staggered to one of the rooms that were recently lit up and whispered.

"Emily, are you all right?"

"J-Jesse?" Emily crawled from under the bed and looked at him, who was completely uninjured, with a shocked look. "H-how are you… where are those armed men?"

"I knocked them out." Jesse breathed heavily and picked out his phone from his pocket. "I'll make a call."

Emily was shocked and went to check the hallway. There were countless armed individuals lying on the ground with blood pouring out of their heads, and there were holes in the walls and ceilings as if there had been war going on.

She couldn't understand how Jesse could do all of this against armed men!

She had to admit that he looked very capable and athletic, but this shouldn't have been possible, especially against men with guns!

Jesse pressed the phone against his ear and impatiently tapped his feet against the floor.

The call was quickly answered.

"Jesse?!" Jack's urgent voice blasted through the phone.

"Father!" Jesse said with relief. "There are some armed men here! I think they are holding everyone hostage."

"I know!" Jack shouted from the other side of the phone. "Me and most High Society members have gathered to discuss the demands those terrorists gave us!

"Where are you? Are you fine?!"

"I am fine; I am with Emily." Jesse said. "We are in a safe location, for now." Follow current novelenglish.net . s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

"Stay hidden!" Jack said urgently. "Do you know if everyone is alright? What about Anna?"

"I… don't know." Jesse scratched his head in frustration. "Are the police already here?"

"They are." Jack said with a hint of anger. "The terrorists want 100 million from each family. We could easily afford it, but there are some families that don't seem to want to.

"Those terrorists don't want to free anyone before all families have paid!"

"The hell?" Jesse gritted his teeth. "These guys aren't afraid of shooting hostages, and they might!"

"Did you encounter some?" Jack asked in shock.

"A few…" Jesse sighed. "I ran away, so I am fine."

"Stay hidden with Emily." Jack's voice sounded painful. "Don't come out. This might not end well because those fools who don't want to pay!"

"But mother…" Jesse whispered.

"There is nothing you can do; please stay hidden; don't forfeit your life; listen to me, son!"

"I… understand." Jesse sighed, but then he heard a ding from his phone, and when he checked the screen, he noticed that the battery had reached zero.

'I haven't charged it because I was inside the game pretty much all the time the last week. Fuck!'

"What did your father say?" Emily asked.

"Police are here." Jesse said and pocketed his phone. "The armed men want 100 million from each family."

"That's fine; we can easily afford it." Emily said with a hopeful gaze.

Jesse looked at her, not wanting to pour cold water on her head, so he simply smiled and nodded.

"Do you have a phone?"

"I-it's in my room…" Emily stammered, her voice trembling. "It's on the third floor, and to get there, we would have to visit the lounge."

"It's fine then." Jesse looked at her and said, "Hide here; it's safe for now."

"What will you do?" Emily asked with worry.

"I'll hide the unconscious bodies for now." Jesse said, walked to the door, and looked at her. "Close the lights."

He then picked up a roll of duct tape from a nearby drawer, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

He then tied the unconscious bodies, moved them all to one closet, and left them there. He then moved a bookshelf in front of the closet, making it impossible to open from the inside.

'Now, what should I do?' Jesse left the room and slowly walked down the hallway, nearing the sounds of shouting.

After reaching the end of the hallway, there were stairs leading to the bottom floor and railings that one could use to look at the lounge.

Jesse sneaked closer, peeked through the railing's tiny gaps, and saw hundreds of figures sitting on the floor, trembling in fear.

He then saw a dozen armed figures, one dead man lying on the ground, and bright lights reflecting off the window.

The bright lights were red and blue, signaling the arrival of the police cars.

Jesse looked around the lounge, trying to find a certain someone, and then saw a beautiful black-haired woman sitting on the ground with a bloodied nose and bruised cheek, as if she had been hit recently.

'Mother…' Jesse's eyes turned red in anger. 'What if I do Howling Rage and just freeze everyone? No, that won't last long enough for me to get rid of all the armed individuals.

'Ambrose's Slaughter will also deactivate once I use it on one person, so it's even worse in this situation.

'What could I possibly do that won't cause harm to others?' Jesse gritted his teeth.

He then sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes.

'My soul, find the location of everyone.'

The world froze, and a transparent soul jumped out of his body.

The soul looked different. It wasn't a light blue color anymore, but instead purple, and it had grown muscle around the arms.

The time in the Room of Damnation was an even bigger help to the soul, making it stronger and more durable to soul injuries.

After flying out of Jesse's body, the soul flew around the house for several minutes before returning to his body.

Jesse's eyes slammed open.

'There are around a dozen in the lounge, one person on the third floor, and one on the fourth.

'They must've heard the gunshots and will soon notice that they have disappeared. I won't have time to waste, or they will find Emily.'

Jesse carefully cracked his knuckles, careful not to break his fingers, and looked coldly downstairs.

'Father, we cannot wait. It's just a matter of time before these terrorists start shooting hostages, and I don't want to wait for that to happen to Anna.'
