"Damn!" Howard said, "Why did we have to run into the eight of them?"
"What's wrong?" Justin asked.
Howard replied, "Those eight men are known for their fighting skills, especially Jude. I thought they would split up and flee separately, but unexpectedly, they stayed together... and we even ran into each other. Justin, my men are no match for them. If we force our way through, they will probably become injured."
Howard didn't want his comrades, who saw him as their leader, to die for nothing. Those eight men were simply too strong, his brothers would only end up as cannon fodder.
Therefore, Howard wanted Justin to take action.
Justin slowly said, "Okay. Stand back, all of you."
Following his instructions, Howard led his men to stand behind Justin.
Seeing this, Jude laughed and said, "Not bad, that's pretty gutsy of you. In that case, today, I shall show you how powerful I am!"
Then, he said, "That guy should be the strongest among them. I'll keep him occupied while the seven of you rush out!"
"Yes, sir!"
Justin said to Nora behind him, "1 will deal with Jude. I'll leave the rest to you."
Nora nodded.
Among the eight people, Jude was the only one who was a little troublesome. The rest were no big deal.
Just as she was about to reply, Howard, who mistakenly thought that Justin was speaking to him, said loudly, "Don't worry, Justin, leave the rest of them to me! Even if I die, I will never give them a chance to leave!"
Nora:"..."
Those were just a few insignificant riff-raff. Did he really need to be so dramatic?
Justin took a step forward. Jude was indeed rather skilled, though it was also possible that his skills and great physical strength were all thanks to the gene serum, making him a little difficult to deal with.
When Jude started exchanging blows with him, he knew at once that he was in trouble. He'd originally thought that the people at this entrance would be easier to deal with since those at the other two entrances were all professional police officers, but it seemed that he'd made the wrong choice!
He immediately said to the people behind him, "You guys, break your way through first!"
Only when they left would Justin be distracted, thereby giving him the chance to escape.
The few men behind him were all subordinates whom he'd taken a lot of care to groom. They were the strongest in their circle and had also shown the best results after taking the gene-improvement solution.
Even Howard was no match for them, which went to show how strong they were.
The men nodded immediately. They bypassed Jude and Justin and rushed towards Nora and Howard.
Justin didn't intercept them.
It seemed like he trusted the people behind him very much.
At the sight, Howard was terribly moved.
In the past, Justin had always called him a good-for-nothing because he didn't make any progress despite practicing martial arts for so long. All of his moves were just fancy, without any real substance. Yet Justin was putting so much trust in him at this moment.
There were eight of them in total. They might not be as strong as Jude, but they had numbers on their side!
He must not let Justin down!
With that in mind, lofty ambitions suddenly surged up in Howard. He bit the bullet and stepped forward at once.
"I can do it, Justin! Don't worry!"
As he let out a roar, he attacked one of the eight men at once!
Howard felt that this must be the highlight of his life. He followed after Justin, using his bare hands to deal with Jude's seven henchmen... well, one of them.
He used everything he had to dodge his opponent's attack, and then he punched and kicked them.
They exchanged numerous blows without any pause.
