Chapter 200: Surrounded

As Joseph was leaving, Lucy had already learned from Dr. Mundo about what kind of person Cintheca was. "I know he's not a good person. If you meet with him, it’s like walking into a trap!" Lucy was worried about Joseph, fearing that he might be sacrificing too much for their family. But Joseph didn't seem to care at all. "Don't worry. I'm not the type to act without understanding the situation, but I'm also not someone who can be easily used. If this man can actually cure Tangna, I'll show him respect. But if he can't, I won't give him any benefits." Hearing Joseph's words, Lucy nodded in understanding. "Actually, I'm not going to see Cintheca right now. I'm going to find Gun God. I believe he might be able to save our child." As he spoke, Joseph took out a photo. The man in the picture was about the same age as Joseph, with a rough appearance, sporting a small ponytail. Although he looked like an ordinary person, his aura was anything but. This man was Gun God, the one with extraordinary abilities whom Joseph was searching for. "Ah! He's..." Lucy gasped in surprise when she saw the photo. Because... The legendary figure with immense powers wasn't some grand figure but was actually Gun God. She had just never known. "His abilities are formidable, but he's aged. He got caught up in a situation while helping his friend, Whip God, seek revenge, and now they’re both in trouble." "I plan to rescue them." "As for Cintheca, I don’t have much faith in him. Even if he agrees to treat our baby, I doubt he’ll do it properly." "But since he’s agreed to come here, I won’t let him go easily. I’ll find my opportunity when the time comes." Lucy thought Joseph’s plan was good. At least it was better than directly clashing with Cintheca. This way, Tangna wouldn’t have to worry too much. With that, the couple left together. At that moment, Joseph received a message from the AI. "Mr. Joseph, I can see that Whip God and Gun God have hidden in a corner, but the satellite signal has lost them." Joseph immediately boarded the helicopter and headed toward the battlefield. "Send me the coordinates. We’ll go straight to that location." Soon, a large helicopter flew overhead, and the AI onboard informed Joseph of their destination. Meanwhile, Whip God and Gun God were hiding in a cave, discussing how to escape. "It's going to be tough to get out of here. The area is full of traps..." Little did they know, Joseph, dressed in black and ready to help them, was already on his way. When Joseph arrived at the target location, he jumped down from the helicopter and saw that there were nearly ten thousand men in the forest, all searching for Gun God and Whip God. These men had used all their resources to find them. But they had no idea that today, they wouldn’t succeed. Because just nearby, several helicopters were waiting to pick up Joseph and the others. If they didn’t hurry, they’d risk getting captured. Suddenly, Joseph heard sounds of fighting in the distance. He immediately rushed over. He arrived just in time to see Whip God and Gun God in the midst of battle. They were surrounded by nearly a hundred men. Both Whip God and Gun God were injured, making their situation even more precarious. Without Joseph, they would likely have perished soon. "We need to get ready. I’ll clear the way, and then we can escape safely," Joseph told them. Soon, the helicopters landed, and their crew surrounded Whip God and Gun God. The other men were stunned. One man, who had been attacking Whip God and Gun God, was interrupted by the sudden appearance of this group. The man was dressed casually, with no visible injuries, and looked extremely healthy. But his eyes were cloudy, and his face was lined with wrinkles, making him seem out of place among the younger crowd. "Joseph?!" "Are you saying that’s the Reaper’s Son?" "Impossible! He wouldn't be dressed like that!" Joseph had chosen not to wear his iconic golden mask to avoid revealing his identity. Seeing that the group hadn’t stopped their attack, Joseph sprang into action. With a swift move, he took down several men at once. These small fry had no chance against Joseph. "You two, get to the helicopter. I’ll take care of this." Knowing Joseph’s strength, Gun God and Whip God nodded and quickly retreated to the helicopter. "Hand over those two scum, or none of us will get out of here alive!" the leader of the group shouted, glaring at Joseph in a threatening manner. He couldn’t believe his men would lose, so he refused to back down. Just then, something dropped from the sky. "Move!" someone shouted. As the men tried to dodge, there was a sudden explosion—boom! Joseph had quietly planted a mine while everyone was distracted by the sky, and it detonated, creating chaos. The scene was a mess, filled with the stench of blood. Many lay on the ground, some missing limbs. The leader was lying in a pool of blood, his body covered in wounds. He clutched his right eye in pain, while his left eye had been pierced by something. "Boss, what happened?!" "What's wrong with your eye?"
