"Void Sword and Dragon Patterned Sword?" Johnnie exclaimed as he looked at the two divine swords, one large and one small.
"What's going on? Can the Void Sword and the Dragon Patterned Sword be brought out?" He was puzzled in his heart.
When the attributes were fused, items, weapons, and equipment in the game couldn't be brought out. But these two giant swords had actually come into the real world!
"Could it be because the divine artifacts recognized me as their master?" With a thought in his mind, the two divine swords disappeared and merged into his body again.
Sure enough, these two divine artifacts had already integrated with him.
This was a good thing.
He had been worried about how to get a suitable long sword.
Moreover, consigning it would also be troublesome as it couldn't pass the security check. Now he didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Johnnie, it's time for dinner." Crysic's voice came from downstairs.
"Coming." He replied, washed up briefly, and went to the hall downstairs.
The dinner was still sumptuous, with four dishes and one soup.
"Johnnie, you promised to accompany me well. You've been in the game for another two days." Crysic complained, feeling angry and aggrieved.
Johnnie felt apologetic and said, "We'll set off tonight and go to the Western Alliance. I'll accompany you properly."
"Really?" Crysic's eyes lit up, but then she was a bit worried. "Johnnie, will there be any danger?"
She still remembered that Johnnie had said there would be danger during this trip.
"Hmph, now it's them who are in danger." Johnnie was confident. After the attribute fusion, he was no longer afraid of the Apocalypse Group at all.
"Okay, then I'll book the plane tickets and pack my luggage." Crysic was delighted and didn't dwell on the matter. She got up and was about to book the plane tickets.
"Not in a hurry. Let's have dinner first." Johnnie stopped her and added, "Call Joseph and the other person in to have some food together."
Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, he knew that the two of them definitely couldn't finish it all.
"Ah? Is Joseph here too?" Crysic was puzzled.
"He's at the door." Johnnie nodded. After the attribute fusion, his perception of the surroundings had also improved, and he clearly sensed that there were two people at the door.
They were Joseph and Luke.
Crysic was suspicious and went to the door of the villa. Sure enough, she saw the two of them standing guard there.
She was touched in her heart and invited them into the house.
"Johnnie." Joseph nodded and greeted him, with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Take a seat." Johnnie nodded and said, "Has someone been here?"
The two of them sat down awkwardly. Joseph said, "Yes. It was that Sylas who appeared before. This guy was sneaky and had ill intentions. Unfortunately, he managed to escape."
"Johnnie, that guy is somewhat powerful. Me and my two brothers couldn't keep him here no matter what." Luke beside him also spoke up, looking a bit annoyed.
It was rare to encounter a powerful person, yet they let him get away.
"It's okay. There won't be any danger for now. You don't have to work so hard." Johnnie could tell that the two of them hadn't rested much and had probably been on duty in turns.
Joseph said, "Johnnie, it's better to be careful. That guy is obviously not an ordinary person. He should have received special training. Even in the military, he would be among the top."
"Is that so?" Johnnie became interested. After his attribute fusion, he was just looking for someone to test his strength on.
"Is there really any danger?" Crysic was worried. She hadn't noticed anything at all.
"Johnnie, why don't we just not go abroad?" She was afraid that there would be danger during this trip. They were clearly being targeted, and by a group of lawless people.
"Johnnie, you're going abroad?" Joseph was also a bit worried.
Johnnie nodded and said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
Beep!
At this moment, his phone rang, and he curiously checked it.
It was an unknown number that had sent a video.
"Ugh... Ugh..." There were bursts of sobbing sounds.
In the video, a woman was tied up tightly with ropes, her mouth sealed with adhesive tape, and she was pushed to the edge of the rooftop.
The woman looked terrified and stared at the other person with a pleading expression.
It turned out to be Tyrande!
His phone received another message.
"Johnnie, you don't want anything bad to happen to your ex-girlfriend, do you? At the abandoned factory in the east of the city. I'll give you thirty-five minutes. If you don't show up, or if anyone else shows up, get ready to collect this woman's body!"
Johnnie's expression turned cold, and a flash of killing intent quickly passed through his eyes.
He guessed who this person was. It was Sylas!
He didn't care about Tyrande's life or death at all. But this guy obviously wanted to threaten him using Crysic. After being stopped by Joseph and the others, he had kidnapped Tyrande instead.
"Johnnie, what's going on?" Crysic leaned over curiously. She seemed to have heard the woman's sobbing and moaning sounds.
"It's nothing. Let's have dinner." Johnnie directly put away his phone and didn't say anything more.
"Hmph, so mysterious." Crysic was a bit unhappy.
"Joseph, Luke, don't be constrained. Just make yourselves at home." Johnnie greeted the two of them.
"Okay, we'll help ourselves." The two quickly stood up and took the bowls and chopsticks.
"Johnnie,and do you want us to take action?" Joseph had caught a glimpse of the video just now, which showed Tyrande being kidnapped.
He guessed that it was done by that Sylas to threaten Johnnie.
"No need. Don't get involved in this matter." Johnnie wanted to deal with it himself.
It would take at least thirty-five minutes to drive at the maximum speed from his residence to the abandoned factory in the east of the city.
Obviously, that Sylas had calculated the time precisely for him.
Joseph didn't say anything more. He just pretended not to know about this matter, and he didn't like that Tyrande either.
...
"Alright, you guys go and rest early. I'm going upstairs." After having dinner, Johnnie greeted them and walked upstairs.
He didn't enter his room but directly went to the rooftop, summoned the Void Sword, and used the skill Fly with the Controlled Sword.
It would take more than thirty minutes at the fastest to drive to the abandoned factory in the east of the city, but if he flew, he could get there in five minutes.
"Hmm?" At the entrance of the villa, Joseph looked at the pitch-black night sky in confusion and frowned, saying, "Luke, did you see a black shadow flash by just now?"
"Ah?" Luke was puzzled and said, "Brother, are you seeing things? There's no black shadow at all."
"Seeing things?" Joseph looked at the dark night sky. He was sure that a black shadow had flashed by just now. It didn't look like a bird, it was more like a person.
But how could a person fly? And it was completely silent, obviously without the help of any external objects.
Luke said, "Brother, should we make a homemade shotgun? If we had a gun, that guy today definitely wouldn't have been able to escape."
For ordinary people, it was impossible to make a firearm. But they were not ordinary people. They were elite soldiers in the military who had experienced actual combat and could easily make a firearm by hand.
"No way!" Joseph firmly refused and warned, "Don't do anything stupid. Making and possessing firearms privately is illegal. It doesn't matter if something happens to us, but we can't implicate Johnnie."
"I know. I was just saying it casually." Luke was a bit disappointed. He was really itching to do something.
"Remind the brothers to be vigilant. We still can't let our guard down." Joseph reminded. He realized that Johnnie had offended some lawless people and they had to be careful.
...
The night was deep.
The east of the city was deathly silent. This was an area of abandoned factories. Now that the game Horizon was extremely popular, there were even fewer people here.
On the rooftop of an abandoned factory, bursts of sobbing sounds came.
Tyrande was bound by ropes and was thrown on the ground like a dead dog. Looking at the man in front of her, she pleaded bitterly.
It was Sylas.
He paid no attention at all and was calculating the time.
Soon, thirty-five minutes had passed.
"Sigh." Sylas let out a sigh. Looking at Tyrande on the ground, he said indifferently, "It seems that your ex-boyfriend has really abandoned you. Well, do you have any last words?"
He casually tore off the adhesive tape on Tyrande's mouth.
"Ugh!" Tyrande let out a cry of pain, swallowed hard, with tears streaming down her eyes. Looking pitiful, she pleaded, "Brother, you've got the wrong person. If you want to deal with Johnnie, you should kidnap that Crysic instead."
She was vicious in her heart and was giving advice to the other party.
"Hmph, do you think I don't know that?" Sylas snorted coldly, his expression frosty.
The first person he wanted to kidnap was Crysic. But Johnnie had powerful people protecting him, and Sylas had almost been caught. He had no choice but to kidnap Tyrande.
He said coldly, "Your time is up. Well, what are your last words?"
Tyrande was terrified, struggling and pleading, "Brother, please, don't. I can give you whatever you want. Do you want money? Name a price. I'm the president of Lookforward Ltd. I have plenty of money. If you don't want money, I... I can offer you my body..."
She swallowed hard, disregarding all sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame in order to save her life.
"Heehee." Sylas sneered, sizing her up and down. Shaking his head in regret, he said, "What a pity. You're not my type. If it were that Crysic..."
He thought of Crysic, who was more to his liking than this Tyrande.
"Alright, it's time for you to go." He was too lazy to waste any more words. He grabbed Tyrande and walked towards the edge of the rooftop.
"Brother, please." Tyrande was terrified and begged desperately, "I'll agree to any request as long as you don't kill me."
"Hmm, who's there?" Suddenly, Sylas exclaimed and whipped his head around to look behind him.
Before he knew it, a figure had appeared behind him, and he hadn't noticed it at all.
It was Johnnie!
