Jiang Heng held a knife in his left hand, his thumb lightly pushing against the hilt, making a crisp sound.
Cyber Madman's attention was entirely focused on Jiang Heng at this moment, because out of everyone present, only Jiang Heng was walking towards him, the distance between them shrinking with each step.
When they were less than ten meters apart, Jiang Heng stopped. His right hand was now resting on the hilt of his knife.
Meanwhile, Cyber Madman's red-glowing prosthetic eye remained emotionless.
Bang!
With a deafening explosion, Cyber Madman launched another missile towards Jiang Heng. However, this time, Jiang Heng did not activate Bullet Time. Instead, he shifted back and forth with incredible speed, his movements leaving behind a blur of shadows.
The next moment, the missile whizzed past Jiang Heng, directly blowing up a nearby trash can behind him.
At the same time, Jiang Heng suddenly vanished. In a flash, when everyone saw him again, he was already behind Cyber Madman, and had begun to sheathe his knife.

Suddenly, a light sound echoed, and everyone turned to see Cyber Madman's head roll off his shoulders. The neck of his steel prosthetic body was severed cleanly and smoothly.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, then sprinkled onto the ground like rain.
For a moment, the alley fell silent. The members of Mann's Squad were shocked. Jiang Heng's speed was simply phenomenal. If they hadn't installed the Righteous Path Eyepiece, they wouldn't even be able to see what happened.
Jiang Heng hadn't actually activated Bullet Time. He achieved that incredible speed purely through his own physical prowess.
"Is this Jiang Heng's true strength? No wonder he's earned Rogue's favor,"
Mann, the tall and muscular leader, muttered involuntarily.
Although they had cooperated a few times before, Jiang Heng hadn't showcased his full potential then.
Because those gang members simply didn't deserve Jiang Heng's full effort.
Sheathing his knife, Jiang Heng flipped his wrist and stored it in his system space.
"Yo~ Everyone, long time no see."
Jiang Heng greeted the members of Mann's Squad with a smile.
The others recovered from their shock and responded. Mann, the leader, personally walked over to express his gratitude.
"Thanks for saving us, brother. If you hadn't arrived in time, Rebecca would have been killed by this madman."
"No worries, it's just a small matter. Besides, Rebecca and I are so close, I couldn't stand by and watch, right?" Jiang Heng laughed and waved his hand dismissively.
"Who's close to you, you idiot!" Rebecca immediately refuted with a defiant pout.
Seeing this, Jiang Heng walked towards her, extending his hand to pat her head.
However, Rebecca was prepared. She immediately drew her two "small" pistols and aimed them at Jiang Heng, "Don't come any closer, or I'll blast you!"
"Wow~ Rebecca-chan is so cute!" Instead of being afraid, Jiang Heng's eyes lit up at the sight of Rebecca pointing her guns at him.
Don't blame the otaku for being too perverted, it's just because the loli is too cute!
No otaku could resist a loli wielding dual pistols.
"Ah, you pervert!"
Rebecca was helpless. The crazy little loli was completely subdued by Jiang Heng.
After all, Jiang Heng was an otaku, and Rebecca was a loli. It's an unstoppable force, a natural synergy.
Furthermore, Rebecca's personality was truly endearing. She seemed crazy and volatile, like a hothead, constantly bickering with her brother, and pulling the trigger at the slightest provocation. But in reality, she was the most loyal and loving person.
In the anime finale, Rebecca stayed with David until the very end, knowing that they were walking into a life-or-death situation, but Rebecca never faltered.
That's why so many people loved Rebecca, not just because she was a cute loli.

While Jiang Heng and Rebecca were being silly, Lucy couldn't stand it anymore. She walked over, grabbed Jiang Heng, and pulled him away.
"It's getting late, everyone. We need to head back and rest. See you later!"
Lucy dragged Jiang Heng away, saying goodbye to everyone as they went. It's truly said that one person can subdue another. One thing conquers another.
The reason Lucy was acting this way was actually a bit of jealousy. She didn't understand why Jiang Heng always had a strange reaction whenever he saw Rebecca.
"Could it be that he likes Rebecca's type? That's why he hasn't confessed to me yet?" Lucy wondered repeatedly in her heart.
Over the past two months, Jiang Heng and Lucy's relationship had blossomed. Although they hadn't crossed the final line, they both knew what was going on.
As long as either one of them took a step forward, they could naturally come together.
…
"Do you like long hair?"
As they walked, Lucy suddenly asked.
"Ah? What?" Jiang Heng was taken aback, not understanding why Lucy would suddenly ask such a question.
"I asked, do you like long hair!" Lucy glared at him, asking again.
Looking at her, Jiang Heng suddenly understood, a smile spreading across his face as he replied, "Of course I like long hair, especially twintails. But…"
Lucy: "But what?"
Jiang Heng didn't answer immediately, instead asking, "Lucy, do you know a famous saying in our Dragon Nation?"
"What famous saying?"
"Everyone in Dragon Nation is a white hair enthusiast!" Jiang Heng stared intently at Lucy.
"…Who said that?" Lucy was stunned, asking softly.
"Don't ask, just say it's someone named Zhou."
"Then, what does white hair enthusiast mean?"
"White hair enthusiast, it means someone who is irresistibly drawn to white hair."
"White hair…" Lucy immediately understood. Wasn't she the one with white hair?
Her eyes fixed on Jiang Heng, she asked, "Then what about you? Are you a white hair enthusiast?"
"Me? I'm a Dragon Nation citizen!" Jiang Heng laughed and said.
Hearing this, Lucy's mouth slightly pouted, and she muttered softly, "Hmph~ You're so sly!"
She hadn't heard Jiang Heng say he liked her directly. Lucy was dissatisfied, but she was still secretly happy because she knew Jiang Heng must like her.
"Alright, Lucy, let's go home."
They didn't delay any longer and headed towards the parking lot.
