“Shocking news, professional killers Black Wolf and Gray Wolf failed and died in Boston!”
The latest post on the fighter forum caught Andrew’s attention.
It had been less than half an hour, but it had already been spread by someone.
It was unknown whether the people from the Martial Arts Administration had deliberately spread the news to scare these people with ulterior motives or if there were other fighters nearby who witnessed all this.
Andrew opened the post.
The post only gave a rough description of the event. There was no mention of him killing the two a.s.sa.s.sins, and it exaggerated the damage caused nearby. It was obviously a post from the Martial Arts Administration.
Just below, someone commented, “I suspect that it’s the chief of Boston’s Martial Arts Administration, Charles, who made a move. Only he can easily dispatch two peak third-grade martial artists.”
“You don’t know this, right? Two days ago, there was an energy storm in Boston. Many people speculated that a ninth-grade martial artist broke through to the Ultimate realm!”
“Ultimate realm?”
“If Black Wolf and Gray Wolf really provoked an Ultimate powerhouse, then they deserved to die.”
He continued to scroll down.
Everyone was discussing Boston’s Ultimate realm expert who had appeared out of nowhere. No one suspected him.
“I thought my name as a genius would have spread all over the country, but it seems that it hasn’t.”
Andrew was a little disappointed.
It appeared that he was too arrogant. Perhaps he could be considered a genius in Ma.s.sachusetts, but in a more prosperous city like Washington or New York, he might only be ordinary.
After buying some high-energy compressed food online, Andrew took a shower and lay back on the bed.
He closed his eyes and rested for a while. Just as he was about to go to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a video call from Annie.
After picking up the video call, Andrew spoke first, “Annie, what time is it? Why aren’t you sleeping? Don’t you know that if a woman stays up too late, her skin will age faster?
“I don’t want to spend my life with a yellow-faced woman.”
Andrew muttered the last sentence in a low voice, though.
However, Annie was, after all, a martial artist at the peak of the third grade. Her hearing was far more sensitive than an ordinary person’s.
When she heard this sentence, her heart actually started beating faster.
The next moment, she reacted and cursed with a red face, “Bah, hooligan. Who wants to spend her life with you? I’m your sister!”
There was a chance?
Her reaction made Andrew happy, and he added, “What’s wrong with that? We’re not blood-related. I remember when I was young, someone said that they adopted me because they were afraid that no one would want me.”
“That’s not true!” Annie’s face turned even redder. “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. Rest early.”
Du!
The video call ended.
“What’s going on? Did she call just to talk about this?”
Andrew was a little speechless. Shouldn’t they talk more about relationships?
However, before he could finish his thoughts, Annie called him again. This time, she said hurriedly, “Andrew, what’s going on? I saw the posts on the forum. You seem to have met with some trouble there?
“Are you alright?”
After the mess from before, she almost forgot about the serious matter.
“I’m fine. The two a.s.sa.s.sins seem to have been discovered by the Martial Arts Administration. It’s just that we might not be able to stay at home for the time being.”
“It’s good that you’re alright.”
When Annie received the news, she had already confirmed that nothing had happened to Andrew.
“Oh right, the teacher from Stanford University will be here in two days. I’ll bring you to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sessment.”
After she ended the call, Annie’s face suddenly turned cold.
a.s.sa.s.sins?
And in their apartment?
It was likely that these two killers were looking for her.
…
The next morning, Andrew received the high-energy compressed food he bought from the fighter forum.
Before heading to the wilderness, Andrew also went to the supermarket.
c.u.min.
Chili powder.
A small barbecue stove. Finally, he bought some barbecue iron sticks.
After paying the bill, he found an empty place and put all these things into the system’s storage s.p.a.ce.
In less than an hour, Andrew arrived at the city gate by car.
Now, in the wilderness, demonic beasts were rampant, and the human situation had changed greatly.
For example, India.
The original 1.4 billion people had been ma.s.sacred by demonic beasts, leaving less than 100 million people.
Moreover, these survivors could not receive any help and were trapped in their homes that were already in ruins.
Countries that were not invaded by demonic beasts had set up high power grids one after another.
There were also many heavy weapons set up around the power grids. Although the damage to the demonic beasts was limited, they could restrict the demonic beasts’ attacks through firepower and persevere until the martial artists came to rescue them.
Andrew jumped out of the taxi and walked to the entrance of the iron fence guarded by the army. He took out his Martial Artist Card.
The soldier checking his identification card was stunned. He cried out involuntarily, “Eighteen years old? A third-grade martial artist!”
Under his surprised and doubtful voice, the other staff members also surrounded him.
This was the first time they had seen such a young martial artist.
Shouldn’t such a genius be accompanied by a teacher when he went to the wilderness?
After all, even a martial artist of the third grade would find it difficult to protect himself in the wilderness.
“h.e.l.lo, is this your first time here?”
The staff member handed the Martial Artist Card back to Andrew and asked.
Andrew nodded.
“It’s like this. Most of the demon beasts in the outskirts of the wilderness have the strength of a martial artist of the first grade. However, the deeper you go, the higher the strength of the demon beasts.
“In the wilderness, try to pay attention to the signs that haven’t been destroyed. They can help you avoid a lot of danger.”
The staff patiently explained to Andrew.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as such a genius didn’t die prematurely, he would become famous sooner or later. If there were any difficulties, he might even ask Andrew for help.
