Holding the large cup of coffee and two sets of fast food that he had bought from the store at the corner of the street, Amos carefully took advantage of the cover of the trees to return to his car, which was parked near David’s residence.

He prepared the large cup of coffee because he was going to stay up all night. Meanwhile, the two sets of fast food were his dinner for today and breakfast for tomorrow. Of course, he wouldn’t stay awake for the entire night. As long as he waited until after one o’clock at midnight, he would be able to sleep in the car until he was awakened by the alarm clock at five in the morning.

To an armorer like him, four hours of sleep would be enough for him to recover and reach the best condition.

When he approached David’s residence, he discovered that the door was wide open, and he couldn’t help but be astonished as he wondered, ‘Had David gone out again?’

However, he quickly thought that if David had gone out, the door wouldn’t have been left ajar in such a manner.

“No!” He saw the obvious cut in the door, and the two shadows in front of it, which left him in awe.

Due to the fact that he didn’t want to alert David and the numerous surveillance devices on that street, Amos kept himself hidden.

Amos was no ordinary man either. Although he rarely went out of town to partake in battles because he had become the head of security at the Strat Hotel, he still had his fighting instincts.

He treaded on carefully. Although he had received orders to spy on David, he knew who David was. Hence, he had to take action.

“There’s someone!” Captain Feroman exclaimed as soon as he sensed that someone was spying on them. He directed his gaze in the direction of the person peeking and alerted Edna.

At the same time, he held onto a glowing short sword and applied force with his foot, forming a dent in the ground. The rapid reaction caused his body to turn into a bolt of lightning and rush towards Amos.

Amos, who had just arrived beside the car, received a great shock. Before he could even make a move, he was already discovered. That meant that the other party was not a simple person.

“Dora, activate the automatic attacks!” he frantically ordered the smart assistant in the car.

Although his car appeared ordinary on the surface, it shouldn’t be underestimated. It had plenty of combat configurations.

He had been out battling for years, and although he no longer went out for battles, he always felt an extreme sense of insecurity when he did not have a weapon in hand. Accordingly, his car was his guarantee of safety.

“Da-da-da-da…” A machine gun ejected a barrage of bullets from the top of the car.

Captain Feroman, who was advancing rapidly, did not panic at all even though he was attacked by the sudden assault. A light curtain was formed in front of him with the wave of his short sword while his body rolled around in an attempt to dodge.

The creation of the light curtain couldn’t be attributed to Captain Feroman’s mastery of swordsmanship that had reached an extremely high level. In truth, it was due to the special nature of the short sword.

The short sword was a special combat sword that contained energy capable of activating a defensive light curtain, which could be used for self-protection at special times.

Of course, the defensive light curtain would be useless to bugs above Class 1 or weapons above Level 1. However, it could resist the bullets shot from a machine gun for a short period of time.

At the same time, Captain Feroman also knew that he only had to deal with Amos since he had the help of his companion Edna. He did not have to worry about this automatic combat system.

The moment the bullets were shot from the machine gun, Edna once again began to operate the device quickly with her slender fingers. Her fighting ability was inferior without the help of her exoskeleton armor. However, her forte was electronic combat.

It was easier for her to deal with the intelligent assistants in the car than the security systems in David’s residence. The rapid-fire machine gun halted after shooting for ten continuous seconds.

As long as Edna had another thirty seconds, she would be able to control the car, which originally belonged to Amos. She could also, in turn, attack Amos with the machine gun.

That was the scary thing about the Electronic Warfare Division. Even if Edna wasn’t involved in the fight, she could play an important and effective role.

“Why is there someone from the Electronic Warfare Division!?!” Amos hollered in anger.

He knew that he was in trouble when he saw the machine gun terminating after Captain Feroman was only affected by it for a few short seconds.

The members of the Electronic Warfare Division were geniuses and prodigies. Very few of them were actually engaged in combat.
