Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

Page 186

The familiar scene caused Anselm Valencia's expression to change drastically. As a defeated opponent, he was the person present who knew Julian Lawson's true strength best, and he immediately wanted to warn Cao Han to be careful.

However, he clearly overestimated himself, or rather, underestimated Julian Lawson's speed after activating the Word of Power: Moment.

in a blink!

A sudden gust of wind arose inside the room; it was the wind resistance broken by the high-speed movement.

After activating the Word of Power: Moment, Julian Lawson disregarded any obstacles in front of him and instantly covered the distance of several meters between himself and Cao Han.

Perhaps confident in his own strength, Julian Lawson chose to attack Cao Han head-on, aiming his powerful punch at the joint where the shoulder blade connects to the arm.

Julian Lawson went there with the intention of crippling Cao Han's arm.

In his view, crippling an arm was already the greatest mercy a leader could show; those who dared to challenge the Doomsday Faction and were so ignorant of their own limitations had to be given a sufficient "lesson."

It can only be said that Julian Lawson's shrewdness is as young as his age... he wears his thoughts almost on his face.

Cao Han could easily read Julian Lawson's thoughts from his expression at a glance. "The young man's idea is good, but he's a bit reckless and has chosen the wrong target!"

To be honest, from the moment he learned of Julian Lawson's existence from Levi, he never intended to harm him.

After all, compared to Levi, who is a dispensable action team leader, the elder's grandson is obviously a more valuable bargaining chip, and it should not be a problem to use him to exchange for senior student Novsky and others.

The problem is that Julian Lawson not only spoke rudely, but also took the initiative to attack Cao Han. That's like lighting a lamp in the toilet—asking for death!

It's just a moment, as if anyone can't do it!

Cao Han, who possessed the same power of words, could see through Julian Lawson's true nature at a glance. What was there to be proud of, having just climbed to the fourth rank?

A slightly cruel smile appeared on his lips, and the next second, the even more powerful fifth-tier skill, "Moment," was instantly bestowed upon him.

then!

As Julian Lawson stared in disbelief, Cao Han's movements were swift and decisive. He flashed out his smooth, delicate right hand, which showed no signs of exercise, and suddenly exerted force at the joints of his shoulder and arm.

hiss-

Despite his tough flesh, Cao Han's strength made him incredibly fragile. His entire arm was ripped off, and gushing blood instantly splattered on the ground.

"Aaaaaaah!!! My hand! My hand is gone!!!"

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When the scene returned to normal, all they saw was the arrogant guy who had been so cocky just moments before now clutching his severed arm and collapsing, groaning in agony.

It was torn apart by brute force, and you could still see the bare white bone where the flesh had broken through the gap between the palms.

Most people present felt a chill run down their spines after seeing Julian Lawson's miserable state, and their perception of Cao Han was also drastically refreshed.

Even Lucy Pallas was no exception.

Most of the time, Cao Han's style of action tends to be ruthless and decisive. He doesn't act unless he's absolutely sure of killing someone, and he's never treated anyone with such cruelty.

"Shut up if you don't want to die!"

Cao Han's words might not be enough to stop a baby from crying, but they could certainly shut someone up immediately.

Julian Lawson was arrogant, not brainless. He still had the basic ability to assess the situation and could sense the killing intent emanating from Cao Han, knowing that the other party was not joking.

If I keep wailing to myself, I might actually take action.

For some reason, the intense pain from his broken left shoulder forced Julian Lawson to think about problems and distract himself; he had never felt his mind so active before.

Cao Han: Are you the Dragon Clan version of the one-armed swordsman Yang Guo? And what's making your mind active isn't the pain, but the adrenaline rush in your body!

"Fifth-order instantaneous speed!?"

"You do have some sense." Cao Han wasn't surprised that the other party had noticed this. "I'll treat you the way you want to treat me, that's fair!"

fair!?

Julian Lawson was already cursing in his mind, "To hell with fairness!"

But even a brief moment of contact was enough for him to fully realize the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so he could only grit his teeth and obediently listen to Cao Han continue.

"With your incredible speed, if you rush back to the Doomsday Faction now, you might still have a chance to reattach your arm..."

"Really?"

Julian Lawson practically blurted out those two words without thinking.

If there were even a one in ten thousand chance, who would want to be a one-armed hero?

Judging from Cao Han's behavior, he had already given up hope and was even prepared to have the equipment department build him a bionic prosthetic limb if he had the chance to return to Nibelungen.

Modern technology may not be able to achieve this, but it is not impossible if combined with alchemy.

Julian Lawson was a little suspicious that Cao Han might have some ulterior motive for doing this.

For example, if the other party possesses the same Word of Power, Setsuna, might they consider taking advantage of letting them go back to secretly follow them, just to find out the location of their Nibelungen Gate of Doomsday.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If I remember correctly, Cao Han had conveyed through Constantine that he wanted to block the door. How could he block the door if he didn't know its location?

He was just a little unwilling to let himself miss the best opportunity to reattach his arm.

"Stop with your little schemes."

Cao Han shook his head. This kid was too easy to understand. He could practically read his thoughts on his face. "I have no interest in you, or rather, in that cowardly doomsday faction behind you."

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for your Doomsday Faction attacking our Kassel College first, I might not be here now.

The condition for letting you go back is very simple, just two words: release you!

"Release all the members of the Kassel College you are detaining in the Nibelungen, and in return, I will return your action team leader to you."

Now Julian Lawson was completely dumbfounded.

It wasn't that Cao Han's conditions were too difficult to accept; on the contrary, they were quite ordinary.

Before this, he had considered all sorts of conditions and possibilities, but he never expected that the other party's request would be so simple.

The Doomsday faction was also having a major headache about what to do with the group from Kassel College.

Let's just keep detaining them. It seems pointless to keep such a bunch of good-for-nothings in Nibelungen, where resources are increasingly scarce.

Putting them back is tempting, but there's also a concern that if they report back to Kassel College, the conflict could escalate further.

"Okay, I can agree to this condition."

Julian Lawson felt he had no reason to refuse such conditions: "Aren't you worried that I'll change my mind after returning to the Doomsday Party?"

"You wouldn't and wouldn't dare to do that!" Cao Han's tone was full of unquestionable confidence.

Cao Han could already glean a lot of clues from the fact that the Doomsday Faction was supporting the North family.

From the moment they learned of the situation, the executive department's think tank began to collect relevant information without stopping, including the various large-scale transactions that the North family had made in recent years, which involved resources from all aspects.

Some resources are certainly not so scarce in real society that they need to be hoarded, yet Croba Noster did just that.

Some high-tech equipment circulating on the black market also ultimately ends up in the hands of the Noster family.

It seems these things ultimately ended up in the pockets of the doomsday prophet class.

Since the Doomsday Faction cannot achieve absolute self-sufficiency, it means that there are "loopholes" in their existence. Therefore, Cao Han has nothing to worry about.

You do the first grade of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth grade.

If he's really angered, he'll block the gates of Nibelungen, making it impossible for anyone to enter or leave. In the short term, it might not be a big deal, but if it goes on for too long, the Doomsday Faction might split up on its own, just like the Secret Party did back then, without Cao Han even having to lift a finger.

Julian Lawson is definitely not stupid, or rather, there are no absolute idiots among hybrids. It's just that his overwhelming strength in the Nibelungen has made him used to not thinking much.

Now, once he started thinking again, he quickly figured out the key points, and the expression on his face became terrifyingly gloomy.

Clearly, the Nibelungenists, who considered themselves brilliant within the Doomsday faction, were seen by some as the frog in the well in the fable, with its limited perspective.

Especially that fleeting glimpse just now, far surpassing my own instantaneous speed...

Julian Lawson then began to understand the meaning of the saying "there are always people better than you" and at the same time, he became even more determined to become the leader of the Doomsday faction and to completely change it.

Unlike the older generation.

The new generation of doomsday enthusiasts yearn for a wider world rather than being trapped in the unchanging Nibelungen for their entire lives.

"I will relay your terms to the leader word for word. May I leave now?"

"Of course, you can choose any vehicle available in the open space."

After all, not everyone is as physically powerful as Cao Han, for whom releasing words of power is as commonplace as drinking water.

As he was leaving, Julian Lawson, fearing that Cao Han might change his mind or that something else might happen, reactivated his fourth-order instantaneous speed buff, transforming into a whirlwind that rushed out the door.

Unless Cao Han personally takes action, everyone else can only watch helplessly as he displays his speed.

If we were to ask who among everyone present was the most unhappy about Cao Han's handling of the situation, it would undoubtedly be Anselm Valencia!

Before Cao Han and his group arrived, he had been subjected to all sorts of humiliation by Julian Lawson at Noster Manor. He had just been fantasizing about taking revenge on Cao Han after he captured him.

Unexpectedly...

It all happened suddenly, and it ended even more suddenly!

Fortunately, Julian Lawson ultimately paid the price of losing an arm. As for whether it can be reattached, no matter how skilled the medical staff is, a patchwork will never be as good as the original, that much is certain.

"Captain Renault."

"Ah, I'm here!"

Dorocel Reno, who was suddenly called out by Cao Han, felt as if he had been electrocuted. He instinctively stood up straight and raised his hand in salute in the direction of Cao Han.

There was nothing he could do; Cao Han's act of tearing someone's arm off had left an indelible impression on his young mind.

So it's quite normal to have a little bit of stress in your behavior.

"Contact your other team members who were responsible for transporting the bodies and see if they've left yet."

"Ok."

"If they haven't left, let them wait for us. I believe that after we let this guy go back, we can complete the rescue mission and bring him back by tomorrow at the latest."

"Understood, I'll contact you right away."

No one objected to Cao Han's judgment and arrangements.

Because they think so too.

Unless the leaders of the Doomsday Faction are all stubborn fools, agreeing to Cao Han's conditions is their best option, without exception.
