Chapter 27: Getting an ability!

E/D: fun P/R: larkspur

"Beep, connection established."

"Beep, Sabre Proficiency's size is 300mb, download started!"

"Beep, Self-Healing's size is 3gb, download started!"

"Beep, the current download speed is 1mb/s (valid within five meters)"

Bruce was not satisfied with obtaining only the Self-Healing ability, he took a risk this time so he had to go all in. After seeing that his opponent had Saber Proficiency, he also began downloading it without hesitation.

The download speed and range had not improved, but Bruce didn't care about that. Soon enough, he might make the download speed 2mb/s.

Right now though, with his current download speed, it would be another 50 minutes before he has successfully downloaded both abilities.

Even though 50 minutes sound like a long time, he decided not to speed the process up this time. After all, there was no real need to do so.

Meanwhile, Tes looked at Bruce's calm expression and became more and more nervous. The man in front of him was very mysterious, and his fighting ability was very strong as well.

He didn't know why, but he felt the danger that he was in every time he looked at Bruce.

“No, I can't go on like this.” Tes thought, and made his move.

He had to find a gap that he could use to escape. Despite searching for it for a long time though, Bruce's fighting technique was stronger than Tes's, so he was unable to shake him off. As time went by, Tes became more and more nervous, and he no longer had his usual calmness that he always possessed.

“Ah, I will send you to see G.o.d!” Tes's eyes showed a hint of red.

From that point on, he began fighting without caring for his defense, only dodging or blocking when his vitals were in danger.

"Psst!"

He was pierced by Bruce's dagger, but he didn't care. Instead he quickly slashed his sabre towards Bruce.

Bruce's facial expression did not change throughout all of this. With his Super Speed, he instantly dodged and left behind only a residual image.

“Psst, Psst…”

After four attacks, Bruce completely cut off Tes's hamstrings and the tendons in his hands, making him lose the ability to move.

Despite that, Bruce did not finish him off.

After all, if the man died, his abilities would also disappear. Bruce still had yet to finish downloading Tes's abilities so naturally he would not let him off the hook yet.

Tes was currently laying on the ground, with Bruce looking down on him in his black suit, like a G.o.d of death.

For the first time in his life, Tes felt complete despair. But, no matter how desperate he was, he was still unable to move.

Bruce didn't care about him, he was just waiting out the 40 minutes left for his download to finish.

He stood silently next to Tes, and every ten minutes or so, he cut off the tendons in his hands and in his feet, again and again.

The Self-Healing ability repaired these injuries in a short amount of time, so he had to repeat the process a lot of times in order to cut off any hope Tes had left.

As time pa.s.sed, Tes's face gradually became pale. He didn't understand what the man in front of him was doing. Why didn't he kill him, but was instead torturing him like this.

Finally, after forty minutes pa.s.sed, Bruce suddenly heard the sound of system.

“Beep, download complete!”

“Beep, congratulations, you've obtained the Sabre Proficiency ability!"

“Beep, congratulations, you've obtained the Self-Healing ability!"

Finally, the downloads finished. Bruce smiled, very satisfied with this result.

But at this time, Tes pulled out a knife. After hearing the system's notification, Bruce did not pay any attention to him. And Tes finally saw his chance, "Go to h.e.l.l!"

Tes was really excited right now, he had obtained hope amidst all his despair. Bruce however, seemingly without any effort just raised his palms.

“Psst.”

Because of the Pig Iron Body ability, even a special steel knife could only cut through Bruce's skin, and go no further than that.

Against this kind of knife however, not even a drop of blood was spilled.

Tes was completely shocked, and he looked at Bruce as if this was completely implausible. Because right in front of him, Bruce's palms were starting to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Why? How can it be!?"

Tes's face changed. First, this guy somehow had the same ability that his brother had, and now, he somehow had his Self-Healing ability!

He really couldn't understand the man in front of him.

"Surprised? That's right, you guessed it, It's your ability!"

Bruce smiled, and a cold light flashed through his eyes. He pulled the dagger out of his hand and stabbed it into Tes's neck.

After that, he pierced through Tes's heart with his sabre.

Against these kinds of injuries, even if he had the Self-Healing ability, he was done for.

After finis.h.i.+ng him off, Bruce opened up his panel.

——-

[Name]: Bruce.

[Ident.i.ty]: Level 5 agent.

[Ability]: Marksman, Anti-aging Gene, Super Speed, Self-Healing, Strengthened Hands, Pig Iron body, Superb-level Fighting technique, Sabre Proficiency, Firearms Proficiency, Covert tracking.

[Balance]: 0.

——-

Now that he had more abilities, his strength was also ma.s.sively increased. And this was just the beginning of his journey.

It's time to contact S.H.I.E.L.D., Bruce smiled.

Those two men were worth 1.5 million USD. It was a huge profit.

After some time had pa.s.sed, he contacted the reward department of S.H.I.E.L.D.. And soon after, two cars appeared in front of Bruce, and four agents came out.

"Mr. Bruce!"

These men were very respectful, they were only level 3 or 4 agents, and in front of a level 5 agent like Bruce, they were nothing.

“Take them away.” Bruce said.

And these agents's faces changed when checking the ident.i.ty of the two men.

“G.o.d, they are the Jackett brothers.”

“Mr. Bruce is too powerful, he killed both of them in the same day!”

These agents were very surprised, and after taking a glance at Bruce again, they were even more respectful.

After the handover, Bruce had an extra 1.5 million USD.

Subsequently, the agents left, and Bruce went back to his residence.

At this moment, he did not know that the fact that he had killed the two Jackett brothers had already shaken the upper levels of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
