Instigator and Protector of Violence

Chapter 278: Raising Hell


Johnny Blackbird suddenly erupted.

Travis was calm and unhurried. He pulled out his gun and started shooting, but his target wasn't Johnny Blackbird—it was the patients beside him.

Johnny Blackbird did something unexpected, even for Travis. He used his body to block Travis's gunfire.

The bullet shot directly into Johnny Blackbird's body.

Travis continued to fire.

Johnny Blackbird astonishingly caught all the bullets.

"You..."

Travis showed a look of amusement.

This guy is a lunatic, or perhaps...

He's invulnerable.

Johnny Blackbird indeed didn't die. He had taken so many bullets but still stood there, as if none had entered his body.

"It seems your shooting skills aren't great."

Johnny Blackbird stared at Travis with a mocking smile.

Travis shook his head: "My shooting skills are indeed mediocre, but my men..."

His men...

"Can they still shoot?"

They indeed didn't shoot.

They just stood in the darkness, as if something was controlling their bodies.

"Witchcraft?"

Travis smirked, flipped over, and prepared to shoot again.

This time, this shot wasn't going to be random.

Moreover, this shot was fully aimed at Johnny Blackbird, and in an instant, a strong sense of death enveloped Johnny Blackbird.

"You need to be careful with this shot, Johnny. You're not the only one who understands the true essence of death."

Johnny Blackbird seemed aware of the danger of this shot, instinctively trying to dodge, yet the shot seemed locked onto him.

And all around were those patients.

So, he finally chose to directly pounce towards Travis.

It was at that moment of his pounce that a strange feeling crept over Travis's mind, as if a voice was telling him not to shoot.

But he laughed: "Indeed, earth witchcraft. But, can you control me, and still control my men?"

"Fire, guys."

Those men of Travis, who had been fixed in place, suddenly seemed stimulated and raised their guns again.

"No!"

Johnny Blackbird let out a low roar.

But the trigger had already been pulled.

Strangely, in the next moment, no bullets fired.

All those guns misfired.

"Impossible?!"

Travis finally let out a truly astonished exclamation.

But his surprise wasn't over yet. A bright low hum echoed from the darkness, reached his back in an instant, and pierced his heart the next second.

His life stopped at that moment.

He died.

But somewhere outside the underground hospital, the real Travis opened his eyes and muttered in confusion, "Who could it be?"

Indeed, the Travis who entered the underground hospital was not him—rather the young Travis.

The young Travis was dead in the underground hospital, his body dissipating bit by bit, unlike a real human.

"Is it you..."

Johnny Blackbird looked at the person who suddenly attacked from the darkness and said slowly.

"It's me."

Ethan looked at him and nodded.

Yes, the one who came was Ethan.

He hadn't truly left the Royal Capital.

He had just sent Sofia away.

"You both hate each other dearly and want each other dead right away."

After saying this, he added another sentence.

Then, Travis's men started shooting at each other, ending their own lives.

"Why are you here?"

Johnny Blackbird spoke while removing the bullets from his own body.

"You've got trouble, and so have I. Just like you said before, we need to talk."

Ethan put away his silver thrusting sword and glanced at the darkness.

West slowly walked out from the darkness.

"Talk about what?"

"I could help you, and you could help me."

"How to help?"

"Your biggest problem right now is these people, right? What if I told you that I could help you get rid of these people and also properly arrange them later? How would you feel?"

The offer was evidently too good, bringing West a few steps forward.

And outside the underground hospital, Travis obviously thought of this as well. Originally, he wanted to claim this credit on his own, to have an edge in negotiations with Trafford, but now it seems he must unite with Trafford.

"Go call our people, meanwhile, notify that Inspector. We've found Johnny Blackbird, and he should bring enough people."

If they can restrain the people in the underground hospital, Johnny Blackbird won't be able to escape.

"What do you want?"

West was already tacitly agreeing to join forces with Ethan, but she also knew it wasn't that simple.

"Simple—none of us committed that act, but now we are taking the blame. That's not right. So, why don't we make a big noise?"

This statement made West silent.

Johnny Blackbird laughed: "You're right, Ethan. It isn't right, we should indeed make a big noise."

"So, what's your plan?"

"First I'll help you send those people away, then you take me to meet the people behind you."

"The people behind us?"

"Don't pretend there's no one, Johnny. Do you really think the Royal Capital is such a place? If there were no one behind you, could you continue robbing banks without getting caught?"

The Royal Capital isn't Wenster.

Even in Wenster, someone who commits crimes constantly in the city and robs banks wouldn't remain free for long.

The banking sector is backed by more than just ordinary people.

So the answer is clear.

"First help us get these people out."

Considered a confirmation.

Thus, before the sky fully darkened, the entire hospital was completely cleared out.

When Travis brought people to the underground hospital, the place was already empty.

Behind those curtains, there was no one.

"Impossible, they haven't made it out..."

Travis's subordinates were somewhat puzzled.

"There must be another exit here."

Travis wasn't interested in this but in where these people could go after leaving here.

And who was the one who attacked him from behind.

He had a bad foreboding that things seemed to be getting out of control from here.

"Is this the Johnny Blackbird you spoke of?"

Trafford looked at the empty underground hospital, visibly displeased.

"Don't be upset, Inspector. Right now, you should think about locking down all the docks and highway exits everywhere, shouldn't you?"
