As Samantha looked at Roy with pleading eyes, having witnessed his almost magical curved bullet and knowing he was an FEA agent, she had already started to see him as her rock.
Roy, with his chin resting on his hand, observed the situation outside and began to think and speculate.
Hiding in the warehouse definitely wouldn't work in the long run. After all, Black Mountain had even brought individual rockets; a few RPGs would take everyone out.
Forcing a breakthrough was even more impossible.
Here in America, supermarkets usually have no other buildings around them for easy parking.
Once they tried to force their way out, who knows how many people would die.
It seemed the only option was to try and get closer to the Black Mountain mercenaries under the guise of negotiation and see if an opportunity arose.
But before that, he had to call Gerald and put some pressure on him.
"Hello, is this Mr. Blake?"
Roy heard the sound of a helicopter on the other end of the line. Gerald still loved his helicopters. That guy was going to end up like Lao Da sooner or later.
"Mr. Allin, you better hurry. Amacham's mercenaries have arrived in town. They want to silence everyone!"
"What did you say?! Hold on, Mr. Blake! At the latest, two hours, no! One hour, and the FEA will be on the scene!"
"One hour? It'll be too late! Actually, what I wanted to ask you was, if I take out this Black Mountain mercenary group, will there be any trouble?"
Gerald on the other end of the phone went silent. After a moment, he replied.
"Theoretically speaking, you are now a credentialed FEA agent. If you identify yourself and the Black Mountain mercenaries still attack you, that's assaulting a federal agent. You have the unlimited right to retaliate."
"OK! That's all I needed to hear! You better move fast. I've already taken care of the monster Amacham created and I'm planning to sell it to you. If you're late and Amacham finds it first, I won't be able to help you."
"I'll tell the helicopter pilot to speed up. That thing absolutely cannot fall into Amacham's hands!"
Gerald sounded very excited on the phone. Hopefully, the helicopter wouldn't crash from flying too fast.
After hanging up, Roy heard the Black Mountain mercenary captain outside sounding a bit impatient, urging them again.
"Listen up inside! If you don't come out now, we're going to attack! Black Mountain mercenaries will not be responsible for any injuries sustained!"
"I'll go out and negotiate with them. You guys stay inside and don't do anything rash."
Ashley, who was standing nearby, looked surprised upon hearing this.
"Roy, isn't that dangerous?"
"It's fine. Those giant spiders couldn't hurt me, let alone these humans."
As Roy was about to walk out of the warehouse, Ashley suddenly rushed over, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him.
"Roy, you're a hero!"
Samantha, seeing Ashley's actions, felt a pang of envy, and her eyes dimmed.
Meanwhile, Moke, who was almost evolving into the Hulk, suddenly felt like he had another chance.
The girl's lips were so soft and fragrant that Roy couldn't help but savor a few more tastes before pushing Ashley away.
"I gotta go, or they're really going to make a move!"
Then, Roy took out his phone, tapped it a few times, raised his hands high, and rushed out of the warehouse.
"Don't shoot! I'm an FEA agent, and I want to negotiate with you!"
Hearing this, the mercenary captain was stunned for a moment, then immediately contacted his superiors via radio.
"Sir, there's an FEA agent who wants to negotiate with us!"
Silence fell on the other end of the radio.
"How could there be an FEA agent here? Could it be a fake? Check his credentials!"
The mercenary captain was a bit speechless.
"Sir, the FEA is a secret department. Civilians shouldn't know about such an organization. I'm guessing this guy is for real."
"Then you still need to inquire about his purpose. Could this guy be here to investigate Amacham? If things don't seem right, I can authorize you to eliminate him!"
So what if he was a federal agent? Several people sent by the White House to audit accounts had been taken care of, let alone a small FEA agent.
"Yes, sir!"
After contacting his superior, the mercenary captain signaled the others not to take action yet and let Roy walk over.
"I need to see your credentials!"
Roy reached for his credentials, but the mercenary captain was very cautious.
"Don't move! Just tell me where it is, and I'll get it myself!"
"Alright, my credentials are in my left pants pocket."
The mercenary captain took Roy's FEA credentials from his left pocket, carefully checked them, and confirmed Roy's identity.
"Roy Black, looks like you are indeed an FEA agent. Tell me, what's your purpose in this town?"
"Ha! You trying to pry into federal secrets? Who gave you the guts?"
This was the first time Roy had used the FEA's name, and he suddenly felt like it was quite enjoyable.
The mercenary captain frowned.
"You don't seem to understand the situation right now!"
With that, the mercenary captain used the butt of his gun to hit Roy on the head.
It didn't hurt at all, and there wasn't even a scratch, but a dangerous look appeared on Roy's face.
"Did you just dare to hit me?"
"Hmph! Tell me your purpose immediately! Otherwise, hitting you will be the least of it!"
"Then what else do you want to do?"
Roy looked at the mercenary captain with a provocative gaze, seemingly not afraid at all.
This made the mercenary captain very angry, so the guy pulled out his handgun and pointed it at Roy's head.
"I'll give you one last chance. I'll count to three! If you don't reveal your secrets, then take them to hell with you!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three! Sir, he won't talk!"
The superior on the other end of the radio also heard the conversation just now.
"Then take him out and stage an accident scene."
Judging by this, the Black Mountain mercenaries had probably done this kind of thing more than once.
Roy immediately asked a question.
"Have you guys killed other federal agents before?"
The mercenary captain chambered a round and then pulled the trigger at Roy's forehead.
"You're definitely not the first, and you won't be the last!"
Bang!
Roy had already entered Bullet Time. The practicality of this ability was indeed very strong, especially during gunfights.
At this moment, the speed at which the bullet was flying in Roy's eyes was as slow as a snail's pace, but it was also very difficult for Roy to make movements in this state.
Fortunately, Roy's current physical fitness was freakishly good. If it were the physical fitness he had when he first transmigrated, he would probably only be able to tilt his head or something in this state.
Contrary to expectations, there was no scene of the bullet blowing his head off. The mercenary captain looked in astonishment at the bullet Roy was holding between two fingers.
"All martial arts under heaven are ultimately about speed... Oops, wrong channel!"
As he spoke, Roy punched the mercenary captain in the face. This guy was a key witness and couldn't die.
As for the other mercenaries... well, they were irrelevant.
The sudden change caught the other Black Mountain mercenaries completely off guard, while Roy had already made his move.
Two revolvers suddenly appeared in Roy's hands, and then he fired with both hands, first taking out the mercenary operating the heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle, as well as several mercenaries carrying individual rockets.
These were the only ones among the Black Mountain mercenaries who could pose a threat to Roy. As for the others with rifles and shotguns, Roy's current physical attributes could completely withstand their attacks.
After several mercenaries were taken out by Roy in quick succession, the remaining mercenaries finally reacted and tried to fight back.
Just as both revolvers ran out of bullets, Roy directly grabbed the nearest mercenary, snatched his rifle, and used his body as a shield to continue firing.
This tall mercenary was like a slightly larger rag doll in front of Roy, completely unable to resist. He was quickly riddled with bullets by the other mercenaries.
Roy continued to make use of the "trash," using the mercenary as a projectile to throw out, knocking over several other mercenaries before continuing the same process.
Amidst the hail of bullets, Roy strolled leisurely. He discovered that his Assassin's Heart ability seemed to have some hidden effects, such as his current extremely precise grasp of bullet trajectories.
It was almost accurate to the millimeter!
This made Roy, who had originally thought he would at least get a scratch or two in this fight, feel very relaxed.
Soon, fifty or sixty fully armed and well-trained Black Mountain mercenaries all lay in pools of blood, while the only price Roy paid was a slight dizziness in his head.
Hmm, precisely calculating bullet trajectories does consume some mental energy. It was Roy's first time doing this so extensively, so he was a bit unaccustomed to it. He should be fine in the future.
After all, his Spirit attribute had already reached 48, making it his third-highest attribute currently.
Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but feel a little strange. Wasn't he supposed to be a world-destroying berserker? How come his Spirit attribute was getting higher and higher?
No, he had to go and get a few of those brute's fate treasure chests!
The people in the warehouse heard the continuous gunshots and couldn't help but cautiously poke their heads out to see what was happening. They saw Roy sitting alone in a pickup truck, surrounded by corpses.
"Oh my god! How did he do that?"
Everyone had an unbelievable look on their faces. They observed for a long time before confirming that all the mercenaries had been killed.
Samantha mustered her courage and walked out of the warehouse towards Roy.
"Roy, did you take them all out?"
"No, I left one alive."
Roy jumped out of the pickup truck and kicked the mercenary captain. The guy was sleeping soundly and wouldn't wake up for a while.
However, while the mercenary captain didn't move, a faint voice came from his earpiece.
"Hey, what happened? Why were there so many gunshots?!"
Oh, so the mercenaries' boss was listening the whole time?
Roy looked interested, took out the mercenary's earpiece, and put it in his own ear.
"Hello! Can you hear me? Moshi moshi, sawadika, bonjour, I've come to Hebei Province..."
Roy greeted the person in the earpiece in multiple languages, but the person on the other end didn't seem too happy.
After a long silence, he suppressed his anger and replied.
"You took them out?"
"Yeah, is there a problem? You guys are allowed to kill people to silence them, but I'm not allowed to fight back?"
These words left the person on the other end speechless. No matter who judged, there was nothing wrong with what Roy said.
But some people were just used to being overbearing, only allowing officials to set fires while forbidding commoners to even light lamps.
"You actually dared to touch people from the Black Mountain Military Company, Roy Black, I'll remember you!"
This guy actually knew his identity. That was a bit troublesome!
Roy himself wasn't afraid, but he was worried that after Black Mountain found out his identity, they would go after his parents.
Considering the lawless style of the Black Mountain Military Company, this was indeed possible.
"What's your name?"
Roy's voice revealed a hint of coldness. He had been provoked by the threatening tone of the other person.
"Why should I tell you?"
The person in the earpiece wasn't stupid either and could tell that Roy was a bit angry.
"Black Mountain Military Company, huh? You guys better not do anything to piss me off, or I will definitely take all of you out! Believe me, if I can take out fifty or sixty mercenaries, I can definitely take out all of you!"
The person in the earpiece's breathing hitched.
Just as Roy said, if Roy could take out fifty or sixty fully armed mercenaries by himself, and his voice still sounded very relaxed,
this level of combat power meant that Roy really had the ability to wipe out the entire Black Mountain Military Company.
"What a madman!"
After saying that, the guy cut off the radio; he was scared.
Roy took off the earpiece, his face grim, and crushed it in his hand.
Samantha, who was standing nearby, looked worried.
"The people from the Black Mountain Military Company seem to be very vengeful!"
Roy nodded.
"Yes, Samantha! After this, you guys better move away, or just move to Texas. I have connections there, and I know people in both the state police and the FBI."
Hearing this, Samantha hesitated.
Not everyone in America likes to leave their hometown; some people prefer to stay.
With Samantha's qualifications as a Marine Corps veteran, she could have a good career as a police officer even in a big city, but she still stayed in this small town, indicating that she truly loved her hometown.
Roy continued to persuade her.
"Amacham has a lab here, which means there's something they need. They'll definitely be back! Think about your children. You don't want them to live in danger all the time, do you?"
The safety of her children finally became the last straw for Samantha.
"Okay, Roy, you're right! I really should think about my children's safety."
In the distance, the sound of a helicopter could be faintly heard.
On the other side, in the secret base of the Black Mountain Military Company, a middle-aged man was playing the role of a desktop cleanup master.
This guy was the one who had the heated exchange with Roy just now. Losing fifty or sixty mercenaries meant someone had to take the blame.
Since all the mercenaries were dead, the middle-aged man would definitely be the one to take the fall.
At this moment, the middle-aged man didn't know that Roy had left one alive.
Suddenly, the phone that had been swept onto the floor rang. The middle-aged man quickly picked it up.
"Hello, this is Hanson Doug."
"Mr. Doug, this is Bartholomew. How's the situation in the mining town?"
"There was a slight accident, and I'm trying to figure out how to resolve it."
Hanson didn't dare to tell the truth because the Bartholomew on the other end of the line was notoriously difficult to deal with.
"Then resolve it as soon as possible. That lab is very important to the company!"
"Yes, I will resolve it as soon as possible!"
The phone hung up, and Hanson called over one of his subordinates.
"Investigate a man named Roy Black for me!"
