God 223


    Chapter 223 Hunt Down


    It was early evening.


    Orion’s destination–the Radcliffe Estatey just 124 miles away from Mayby City.


    At a normal pace, he would reach his destination in no more than two hours.


    Osborne weighed his options and decided against pursuing Orion from behind. Instead, he


    veered onto a shortcut, intending to intercept Orion’s convoy.


    He pushed his car to the limit, weaving expertly through the traffic. His remarkable eyesight


    and reflexes allowed him to navigate the winding streets without a hitch, even at breakneck


    speeds.


    After an hour of intense driving, Osborne finally managed to position himself ahead of Orion’s


    convoy on the outskirts of Cloudsea City.


    By now, night had fallen, and a steady rain began to pour, nketing the area in darkness.


    He parked his car along the edge of a dense thicket, hiding it from view. As the rain pelted down


    around him, a smirk crept across his face.


    Osborne thought, “This weather couldn’t work better in my favor!


    Orion’s convoy should be right around the corner!”


    With that, he pulled out his Draco Model H mini–handgun—the very same one he hadn’t had time


    to rece.


    This little beauty fired bullets quickly but had limited stopping power, not something designed for


    taking down som wasn’t his intention; he just needed to force Orion’s convoy to a halt.


    Before long, a convoy came into view–a fleet of luxury cars.


    This had to be Orion’s entourage.


    They cruised steadily down the highway, edging closer to Osborne’s ambush point.


    He didn’t hesitate and sprang into action.


    ke Orion or his thugs. But that


    Each bullet tore through the air as Osborne’s aim, honed to perfection, sent every round smashing


    into the tires of the luxury cars.


    Inside the central vehicle of the convoy, Orion’s expression was ferocious.


    “rissa, that bitch! How dare she reject me and date another guy? She belongs to me! Just wait


    until she joins the Lark family; I’ll make her regret this!


    “I’ll have her begging for mercy on the bed!”


    Orion hissed, his heart still boiling with rage.


    The images of rissa kissing Osborne shed in his mind, fueling his murderous intent.


    “And that Osborne! How dare hepete for her affections? He’s as good as dead! I’ll break his


    limbs and peel his flesh bit by bit! I’ll make him beg for a swift end!”


    Orion’s handsome face twisted into a sinister sneer, consumed by his thoughts of revenge.


    But suddenly, the car jolted violently, swerving as if a tire had blown. The driver skillfully


    managed to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop, but confusion surged within the car.


    “What the hell just happened?” Orion snapped, his voice cold and demanding.


    One of his men eximed, panic creeping into his tone, “Mr. Lark, we’ve got a problem! It looks


    like all our tires have blown out–this isn’t a coincidence!”


    Orion’s brows knitted together in disbelief.


    “All of them? Who in their right mind would dare attack me? I want to see this supposed attacker


    for myself! Let’s get out and assess the situation!”


    Still oblivious to the danger, he exuded confidence.


    He thought, “In Skyefall territory, who would be crazy enough toy a hand on me, the heir of the


    Lark family? Not a chance!


    Even the other ancient families wouldn’t cross that line.


    And now that I’ve just transcended to ss B+, I can handle anything life throws at me.”


    LIL


    Without a second thought, he flung open the car door and stepped out.


    His men followed suit, weapons raised, forming a protective circle around him.


    “Mr. Lark, we’ve found bullet holes!


    “These tiny holes suggest it’s from a handful of handguns. There’s someone hiding in those


    woods, and they’ve taken out our tires with some serious marksmanship!”


    Orion couldn’t help but snicker. “Can you believe it? Someone actually dares to attack me? Well,


    well! This is just perfect! I’ve been in a foul mood anyway. Let’s storm in there and bring that


    bastard out!


    “I’ll y him alive!”


    His fierce resolve only grew. Instead of cowering at the threat, he was ready to charge into the


    woods, eager to face sch


    “Yes, sir!”


    ever was behind the attack.


    His men rallied behind him, a throng of thirty loyal followers, all charged up and ready to dive into


    the jungle, forming a protective wall around Orion as they advanced.


    Deep in the underbrush, Osborne couldn’t help but smirk


    He thought, shaking his head, “Orion, you really are a cocky one!


    But hey, fine by me—if you want to walk right into the trap, I won’t stop you from signing your own


    death warrant!”


    With that, Osborne deliberately retreated at a leisurely pace, not bothering to conceal his tracks.


    He feigned panic as he sauntered deeper into the woods, clearly letting his presence be known.


    “There! I see him!”


    “It’s just one guy!”


    Orion squinted into the thickening darkness. The shadows made it hard to identify Osborne, but


    something about the figure seemed familiar.


    He barked, “Don’t let him get away! I want to see who’s got the guts to take a shot at me.”


    With a flick of his wrist, he motioned his men to follow, and they surged forward with wild


    enthusiasm, eager to catch the attacker.


    But it didn’t take long before they halted in confusion.

    Because there stood Osborne, no longer fleeing but casually waiting for them, a wolfish grin


    stered on his face.


    “Well, well, well… Orion? Looks like we’re running into each other again!”
