“If I die in this godforsaken place on Earth, I’ll never get the chance to return to Star Continent.” Yun Mu couldn’t stop thinking about his senior sister back on Star Continent.
But how on earth should he escape?
Enduring the pain in his body and watching the red tide getting closer, Yun Mu had to make a decision immediately.
A brick wall five or six meters high was certainly impossible to jump over in one go for Yun Mu.
If he had something to boost himself up with, it would have been much easier.
As the pursuers got closer, in this critical moment, Yun Mu felt the Swiss Army Knife in his hand.
“Hey, right, isn’t this knife supposedly a special edition? Doesn’t it have any other features?”
Yun Mu stopped in his tracks and carefully examined the Swiss Army Knife in his hand.
Seeing Yun Mu stop, the people behind him were shocked and also immediately came to a halt, as if afraid Yun Mu might do something drastic.
It’s no wonder they were being cowards.
After all, just before, Yun Mu had used this inconspicuous little knife to knock down several companions and broke through.
This brief pause allowed Yun Mu to catch his breath, and his fingers kept moving up and down on the knife handle.
When he felt the Swiss Army Knife’s shield emblem, Yun Mu suddenly felt an unusual sensation in his hand.
The material in this area was clearly different from the rest of the handle.
Could it be a button?
Yun Mu decisively pressed down.
Sure enough, he heard a click, and a blade suddenly sprang out from the Swiss Army Knife’s blade slot.
“Holy shit, that’s not scientifically possible!” Yun Mu exclaimed internally.
How could such a small handle possibly contain a sword about twenty centimeters long?
But now was not the time to ponder this issue.
Since the designer had achieved it, he had to make full use of it.
Seeing the sudden metallic gleam from Yun Mu’s hand, the people behind him were startled and began to back away.
“Brother Da Fei, does this kid have such a powerful thing in his hand?” Shen Shou said in disbelief.
Brother Da Fei took a closer look at what was in Yun Mu’s hand and chuckled, “Ah, the extendable special edition of the Swiss Army Knife, typical of someone from the Yun Family to have such rare stuff. But don’t worry, Master Shen, unless he has a gun on him today, he won’t be escaping this alley.”
After all, East River City was a metropolis, and if one dared to fire a gun in broad daylight, it would violate the unwritten rule between the underworld and the righteous path.
The police and government would certainly not care about your background then.
And, to take even a step back, Brother Da Fei also kept a smuggled handgun in the back seat of his car just in case.
Seeing that his sword had scared the group, Yun Mu felt amused and playfully waved the weapon.
This wave made the crowd retreat even further.
However, the motion tore at the wound between his abdomen and waist, causing Yun Mu to feel a heart-wrenching pain.
No, he couldn’t show off anymore; showing off any more might just kill him right here.
“Damn it, go for it, don’t you want the reward anymore?”
Seeing everyone retreating continuously, Shen Shou couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
They were all useless.
When they were hired, each one of them beat their chest, promising invincible strength.
Yet now on the battlefield, so many couldn’t capture even one kid.
At the mention of the word “reward,” the men seemed to be injected with adrenaline and surged towards Yun Mu like a tide.
“Shit, I need to run,” Yun Mu quickly turned and ran towards the end of the alley.
Arriving at the high wall, Yun Mu still didn’t slow down.
“Brother Da Fei, something’s not right!” Shen Shou had clearly noticed Yun Mu’s odd behavior.
Brother Da Fei, of course, had been watching Yun Mu’s every move, and said in surprise, “This idiot can’t possibly think he can jump across.”
To think that Yun Mu could make the jump was something neither of them would believe.
Because the high wall at the end of the dead-end alley was almost six meters tall, even a martial arts expert couldn’t leap over it without any aid—it was just a pipe dream.
But remembering Yun Mu’s various unreliable behaviors, Brother Da Fei knew full well that this kid was best at playing weak to deceive the strong.
So, he had already quietly gripped the handgun in his hand.
Arriving at the high wall, Yun Mu took a deep breath.
Success or failure depended on this moment!
With a flick of his wrist, the Swiss Army Knife flew out of his hand and stuck firmly into the wall at a height not too low or too high, about three meters from the ground.
With that, he could use the handle of the army knife as a stepping stone.
Although the point of force was a bit small, it was completely possible for him to make the jump!
Seeing Yun Mu’s actions, the two in the business car realized his intentions at once.
At the same time, Yun Mu had already leapt up, setting his foot on the handle of the Swiss Army Knife.
Seeing the reward slipping through their fingers, the crowd behind hurried their steps and surged forward.
“Click, bang, bang, bang!”
Just then, Brother Da Fei had already switched off the safety of the gun, chambered a round, and fired several bullets in Yun Mu’s direction.
One of the bullets struck Yun Mu directly in the calf.
Yun Mu winced in pain, almost unable to exert any more force, nearly failing to complete the second jump.
Luckily, the momentum from his first jump carried him to the top of the wall, and he hung there.
Brother Da Fei aimed again, intending to shoot Yun Mu down from the wall.
“Bang!”
Another gunshot rang out, but it was far off mark compared to the previous shots, only hitting the wall.
Brother Da Fei looked up to see that Shen Shou was holding down his arm.
“Brother Da Fei, have you lost your mind?” Shen Shou shouted.
While he certainly wanted Yun Mu dead, he hadn’t expected Brother Da Fei to dare to shoot at Yun Mu in broad daylight.
If the police were alerted, they would both be in a predicament.
But Brother Da Fei, as a gangster, tended to act on impulse without considering the consequences.
However, faced with Shen Shou’s reproach, Brother Da Fei knew the pros and cons well and could only silently put away his handgun.
Yun Mu, however, gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his body and leg, used his arms to flip over to the other side of the wall, and jumped down.
“Dammit, we can’t let him get away. Quick, quick, drive!” Shen Shou immediately moved to the passenger seat, and Brother Da Fei got behind the wheel, starting the car and heading towards the back of the alley.
Unfortunately, driving there from here involved a long detour.
Two minutes later, when they arrived at the other side of the wall, Yun Mu was nowhere to be seen.
“Dammit, he still got away!” Shen Shou cursed through clenched teeth.
Brother Da Fei bent down and carefully examined the ground.
“Look, young master, there’s still blood here. The kid’s been shot, he couldn’t have gone too far.”
Shen Shou also bent down to look, and indeed, there were sporadic drops of blood and a few bloody footprints, clearly showing that Yun Mu was badly injured.
“Chase, chase him now!” Holding onto the last shred of hope, Shen Shou said.
