Chapter 182: Make Sure He Cannot Escape!
The superhuman killer would have tried to shoot again if Mark hadn't found out his location, but now that Mark knew where he was, the killer had to move!
The killer looked through his scope again as he waited for just the right moment when he knew that Mark would be visible! It was a gamble, but the killer trusted his instincts. If his instincts told him that Mark would be behind those cars, then he knew he would be right -
There!
The superhuman killer saw the three cars shift out of the way and he caught a glimpse of Mark behind the cars as he flew straight at him!
Ka-Cha!
Boom!
Another bullet flew straight for Mark, but the superhuman killer was shocked when Mark threw another car that he had been carrying with him in the path of the bullet!
KA-BOOM!!
The bullet exploded once it made contact with the car and the superhuman killer cursed as he saw Mark fly out from the flames like some sort of demon! Who the fuck is this kid!? Isn't he just a normal S rank!?
The killer immediately drew back his gun and rolled to the side! He grabbed the bag that was on the floor before he bolted out of the room as Mark crashed through the wall of the building and then through another wall!
Boom!
Boom!
Mark pulled himself out from the wall with a mad look in his eyes! He immediately activated [Achilles Heel] and the entire world blurred into multiple shades of grey as Mark scanned the area! Through the grey, Mark could see a red silhouette running towards the other side of the building!
The Achilles heel skill was built to see weaknesses in enemies, but Mark realized that if he activated it in an enclosed space like this, he could also use it to find enemies that were hiding. That way, he wouldn't have to waste time searching for them and he could even find out their weakness at the same time.
Mark reached to the side and grabbed a metal support beam that was poking out from the broken wall! He aimed true and released it like a javelin straight at the killer!
Phwoom!
Boom!
The pole broke through the wall of the building and flew straight for the killer! The killer heard something whizzing towards him at high speed and he turned around in shock to see the pole right in front of his face!
Fuck!
The killer immediately dodged to the side and he just barely managed to avoid losing his head to that attack! Instead, he could feel a large cut that was already leaking blood from his forehead and he held it in pain as he tumbled back into the door behind him! He arrived at the emergency staircase and he didn't waste time as he jumped over the railing and flew down to the lower floors!
[User has suffered massive strain due to repeated prolonged use of the Achilles Heel skill. The user is advised not to use the skill again until at least twenty-four hours have elapsed.]
Mark had to blink and deactivate the [Achilles Heel] skill as he felt a massive strain on his eyes. He was already bleeding from one eye because of how many times he had used the skill today, but that didn't matter to him! He raced out from the room and looked around at the area where he knew that the superhuman killer went into.
There was blood on the floor and Mark realized that the killer must've jumped to a lower floor.
Ring~! Ring~! Ring~!
Mark's phone rang as Mark was about to jump over the railing and he pressed the button on his AirPods to answer it.
"What is it!? I'm busy!"
[Mark! Arit just called! The superhuman killer is there!]
"It's a little late for that!"
Mark frowned as he leaped over the railing and began to free-fall to the lower floor! He kept an eye out so that he would not go too far down! The superhuman killer was an elusive bastard, and Mark knew that he wouldn't want to be out there when there were so many superhumans and policemen around. That means that he will not be going to the lowest floor.
Instead, it was more likely that the superhuman killer would stop at another floor and try to hide and bide his time before escaping when things calmed down!
Mark reached out and caught hold of a railing at the side as he saw a dented railing in front of him and he grinned as he swung himself forward and into that floor!
Boom!
Mark landed on the ground and spoke to Pat in a hard tone.
"Building 5A on twelfth Avenue. I need you to call Fiona and station guards all around the building exterior. Call reporters and tell them that there is a massive fight going on in the building, and call the police and tell them that a criminal is trying to escape. Use whatever is necessary, Patrick, just make sure this bastard doesn't have anywhere to go!"
Pat was already doing what Mark said before Mark even finished talking. It wasn't difficult for Pat to send out official orders since he was already inside the city system. He sent emails to reporters and direct messages to guilds and police squads to congregate at the building that Mark told him about.
Pat spoke up as he sent out another official email to one of the best reporters in the city.
[And what about you? Are you okay?]
"I'm fine. Don't bother me for now, Pat. I'm going hunting."
Beep!
This time, it was Mark who cut off the phone before Pat could say anything more. On the other side of the phone, Pat felt slight worry as he heard the tone that Mark was using. Mark sounded like he was focused entirely on catching this man no matter what.
Pat had only seen this kind of single-minded focus when Mark went to that island to look for Arit before and he knew that Mark was prone to doing dangerous things to achieve his goals when he was in this kind of state!
Pat just hoped that Mark wouldn't do anything stupid!
...
The superhuman killer was currently inside a large office that covered the entire fifteenth floor of the building. He was leaning against the back of an overturned table with his gun beside him and he was using a bandage to wrap around his head quickly to stop the blood loss.
The blood that he already lost would lead Mark to him and the killer was going to try and throw Mark off his trial once he stopped the bleeding.
The Superhuman kept his ears peeled for any movement from around him! He knew that there was a high chance that Mark could find him soon, so he already made preparations for that!
Boom!
The killer tightened the bandage around his head as he heard a wall breaking behind him and he cut off the end of the bandage and grabbed his gun.

Let nothing preoccupy your thoughts.
