Lek's strength was 71, and he certainly had the confidence to back it up!
The World Battlefield had only been open for a little over two months. Normally, it was considered good enough to increase one's physical attributes to about three to four times that of a normal person.
Therefore, Lek's strength level was considered far ahead of the curve.
In fact, in terms of brute force in close combat, Lek had never lost.
However...
With the T-virus enhancement, coupled with the Five Spirit Disc, Bai Ye's strength attribute had already surpassed Lek's. Now, with the power of the Strong Physique ability, Bai Ye's strength directly broke a hundred!
Completely immovable!
And in the instant Lek was surprised, Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed Lek's shoulder.
Intense pain shot through him instantly, and sweat beaded on Lek's forehead. That area had been injured in a previous fight, and now that Bai Ye had grasped it, the immense pain caused Lek's expression to contort.
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 brought Lek to his knees.
His wound again!
Lek roared and, still kneeling, threw a punch towards Bai Ye's abdomen.
But...
Bai Ye was faster!
Bai Ye headbutted Lek directly, then used his leg to pin Lek's neck and slam his head against the wall.
Bai Ye said, "Is Alex in your hands?"
Lek gritted his teeth and swung his arm backward, but Bai Ye caught it, trapped 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 start talking when they've caused themselves enough pain?"
*Crack!*
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he forcefully bent Lek's arm, and a crisp bone-cracking sound echoed.
"Ah!"
Lek cried out in pain, sweat dripping down his face.
That arm hung limply and uselessly.
Bai Ye grabbed Lek's hair and yanked him up, saying, "I don't know if your companion took Alex, or if someone else snatched Alex from you, or if you were here to grab Alex. You'd better understand the situation. Whether you talk or not, Alex is no longer connected to you. You should worry about your own life right now."
Lek panted, his chest heaving, his eyes fixed on Bai Ye with anger.
"Can't live without a beating, huh?" Bai Ye grabbed Lek's other arm. "You asked for this."
"We were ambushed!" Lek shouted. "This church was Alex's secret transaction point. He dug a tunnel inside the church that leads to Red Gate Bridge. After crossing the bridge, one leaves the city. But when we arrived, Alex's subordinates were fighting with a group of gangsters, and the tunnel was blown up by the other side. Then, as we were about to retreat, we were ambushed, and Alex was taken by them."
Bai Ye asked, puzzled, "Why would the gangsters blow up the tunnel?"
Lek replied, "They're from another drug lord's organization. If Alex goes to prison, all of Alex's business will belong to them."
Bai Ye had a look of realization. How could he forget these small fries? Indeed, the 'other drug lords' were also a faction, and they were on the side of the police.
Bai Ye said, "So, where is Alex now?"
"I don't know," Lek said. "Huang Chengjun went after him."
Bai Ye nodded and suddenly gripped Lek's neck from behind.
Lek was instantly startled and struggled rapidly, but Bai Ye's hand was like a vise; no matter how Lek struggled, it was useless.
Lek roared, "You broke your promise!"
Bai Ye replied, "I didn't say anything about you. If you cooperate, I'll let you go!"
*Crack!*
Bai Ye forcefully twisted Lek's neck, and Lek's body slumped limply 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...*
The moment Bai Ye pushed the door open, gunshots rang out, striking the iron door with crisp sounds.
Bai Ye peeked out and saw that the police were well-prepared, encircling the back door.
Bai Ye took out a Beast Ball and threw it forward with force, saying, "Goodra, deal with them!"
The Beast Ball traced an arc through the air, and upon landing, a flash of white light appeared, followed by Goodra materializing in front of the police.
"Yaa~"
Goodra cried out, but its voice lacked any real threat.
However, Goodra's appearance still startled the police...
What kind of monster is this?
The next moment, the police quickly opened fire towards Goodra.
But...
The bullets were ineffective against Goodra!
The bullets continuously hit Goodra's body, but the mucus on Goodra's body acted like armor. When the bullets struck Goodra, they couldn't penetrate the mucus and, due to the lubrication, grazed Goodra's body and flew away, causing no damage.
"Yaa~"
Goodra cried out and suddenly shook its head. Then, its two antennae shot forward, hitting two police officers and sending them flying backward.
Bai Ye shouted, "Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"
Goodra nodded, spread its arms, and opened its mouth forward.
The next moment, a large area of radiance appeared in Goodra's mouth, slowly condensing into a ball of light.
Then...
Goodra flicked its head forward, and the ball of light flew out.
The police had no idea what Dragon Pulse was. Upon seeing the ball of light, they instinctively retreated, but at that moment...
*Boom!*
The ball of light suddenly exploded, forming the Dragon Pulse!
A powerful shockwave pushed outwards, sending all the police officers flying and crashing into their surroundings.
"Well done!"
Bai Ye ran up from behind, high-fived Goodra, and then recalled it into the Beast Ball. He then jogged forward and walked out of the alley.
After leaving the alley, gunshots could still be faintly heard from the front, indicating the engagement was ongoing. He looked up at the sky; Scyther was nowhere to be seen.
But just then...
The sound of brakes suddenly appeared, and a car screeched to a halt beside Bai Ye.
...
