53: Let's make a deal (10,000 daily votes for monthly tickets)

Seeing Kraven react and dodge the fatal crisis in such a short time, Locke Galahad was not surprised.

He did not feel discouraged because his four bullets missed.

After all, he had prepared himself psychologically and had long anticipated Kraven's strength.

He turned back and instructed Serena: "You hide well and don't intervene casually. This guy Kraven is not simple, and I'm afraid he might hurt you later."

The shock in Serena's eyes had not yet faded, because the one-handed shooting speed Locke Galahad displayed was even faster than what he had shown at the shooting range earlier.

That alone would have been enough, but then she actually saw Kraven react immediately under such marksmanship, making a dodging motion to avoid the four fatal bullets.

Serena felt that if she were the Kraven from just now, she would likely have had her head blown off by Locke Galahad's four bullets.

How could she possibly remain calm after seeing such a scene?

"Serena, calm down. Don't worry. I had anticipated his strength, you just need to hide well."

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Locke Galahad comforted her by gently patting her shoulder.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No, just leave everything here to me. Trust me."

Locke Galahad showed a confident smile: "I will protect you."

"Mm-hmm."

Serena didn't say anything more upon seeing this.

After all, the strength currently displayed by both Locke Galahad and Kraven had completely surpassed the power she possessed right now.

She already understood that this battle was not something she could intervene in at the moment.

So, after Locke Galahad's instruction, she nodded quickly and hid with a look of shock.

She watched Locke Galahad's back secretly from the shadows, making a silent resolution: "If the situation goes wrong later, I will risk my life to save him."

On the other side, Kraven was frightened into a cold sweat by this sudden attack, and couldn't help but curse.

If he hadn't practiced the secret codex, and if his reaction speed wasn't far superior to that of an ordinary Vampire, he would likely be meeting Lucifer in hell right now due to Locke Galahad's sneak attack.

After dodging the bullets, he also darted into the room.

Touching the blood bead sliding down from his forehead, Kraven's face was ferocious, and he couldn't help but curse again: "Damn it, damn it. How can this kid have such strength?"

The attack itself wasn't scary to him; what mattered was the personal strength Locke Galahad displayed with that one-handed shooting, which shocked him.

Kraven wasn't even sure he could achieve that kind of one-handed shooting speed without unleashing his full power.

Of course, such a shock only made him stunned for a moment.

After dodging Locke Galahad's first round of shooting, he immediately moved behind a stone pillar to hide, avoiding direct exposure to Locke Galahad's muzzle.

Although Kraven was confident that he could react even if it happened again, it was still risky, so he didn't want to take too many chances.

Of course, after hiding, he didn't forget to take out his gun and start firing back.

As Locke Galahad and Kraven began to exchange fire with full force in the room, suddenly, the whole room became like a battlefield, with bullets flying and smoke everywhere.

The two of them, relying on the guns in their hands and their super-high reaction speeds, managed to create the effect of a multi-person melee.

This scene left Serena on the side stunned.

She would have been slightly surprised if Kraven had this kind of strength, but for Locke Galahad, a newcomer who had only become a Vampire a few days ago, to burst out with such strength was what she found most incredible.

Fortunately, it was worth noting that Serena had a high enough status among Vampires, so the room was large enough—a full 100 square meters, almost equivalent to a small training ground—allowing them to fully maneuver.

On the other side, Locke Galahad naturally wouldn't give Kraven too much reaction time. After instructing Serena, he moved quickly, lifting his bulletproof suit to block incoming bullets while searching for shooting lines to continue firing at Kraven.

And because he had the bulletproof suit, he acted very boldly, barely hiding while moving through the gunfire: "Kraven, don't you want to kill me? Come on, hiding and dodging isn't what a hero does."

While shooting, he also bad-mouthed Kraven.

He had long disliked this guy who loved to be sarcastic and act sanctimonious, and today was a perfect chance to vent his anger.

Of course, he actually had a fragmentation grenade in his hand that he could throw, but throwing a grenade at a Vampire like Kraven in this room probably wouldn't be very useful; the opponent would definitely be able to react.

"Kid, don't think you can do whatever you want just because your marksmanship is a bit better."

Kraven smiled, and while firing back, he didn't forget to look for opportunities to change positions, not leaving Locke Galahad a single flaw: "Didn't Serena teach you that no matter how good your marksmanship is, you have to actually hit the target?"

"Are you so sure that I can't hit you?"

Locke Galahad leaned behind a stone pillar, reloading while mocking: "Aren't you very confident in your own strength? Why are you scurrying like a rat when facing a small fry like me?"

"If you can hit me, then go ahead and try."

A flash of disdain crossed Kraven's lips, but he didn't fall for Locke Galahad's taunts.

He had strength, and he wasn't stupid.

Just as Locke Galahad said, he was very confident in his own strength and didn't believe anyone in this room could defeat him when he exerted his full power.

However, when he saw that all the bullets he fired were blocked by the suit on Locke Galahad's body, his expression couldn't help but change slightly.

"This is..."

Staring closely, after discovering the special aura radiating from the suit, his breathing couldn't help but quicken, and his pupils even dilated.

He was very certain that what Locke Galahad was wearing was one of those legendary extraordinary items. He hadn't expected this kid, Locke Galahad, to have managed to get his hands on one.

He had been practicing the secret codex for hundreds of years and had only seen such extraordinary items on a few mysterious bigwigs in the Secret Cult.

So, the next second, his surprised expression immediately turned into ecstasy.

Looking at the suit on the unyielding Locke Galahad, greedy light appeared in his eyes.

"Kid, if you want to live, I can make a deal with you! Give me the suit you're wearing, and if you can do that, I can let you go."

"Want to make a deal? Want the suit I'm wearing?"

Locke Galahad noticed the light in the other's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "If you're willing to change the terms, I might be able to agree."

"What terms?"

Kraven's breathing almost stopped as he stared fixedly at Locke Galahad: "As long as you're willing to give me the suit, I'll agree to anything."

He had made up his mind that no matter what terms Locke Galahad proposed, he would agree to them.

Doing this naturally couldn't be just because he simply wanted the suit.

Because as long as Locke Galahad was wearing the suit, if he wanted to kill Locke Galahad, he would have to spend a lot of effort, which was very disadvantageous for him.

And once he got the suit, killing Locke Galahad would be easy.

It's just that his thinking was a bit too simple, as if he were treating Locke Galahad like a child; how could Locke Galahad not know that?
