The middle-aged man walked up to Victoria and took out a travel guide. He flipped it open and introduced the attractions.
"Dear esteemed guest, welcome to Nags Head. I'll recommend some suitable places to take photos. Look, here is Jockey's Ridge State Park. It's not far from here. You can reach it by walking. It is home to the tallest living sand dune system on the Atlantic coast and provides an ideal location for watching sunsets.
"Also, there's the Bodie Island Lighthouse more than 10 kilometers away from here. You can go there too. The lighthouse is 150 years old and is distinctive for its black and white horizontal stripes. It is one of only a handful of brick tower lighthouses that remain in operation in the US.
"There's one more place..."
The middle-aged man spoke very professionally while Victoria listened carefully.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly took out a gun from his pocket and aimed it at Victoria's head. He was about to pull the trigger!
"Damn it!"
Victoria did not realize that the middle-aged man would suddenly try to harm her. She was almost killed.
Fortunately, Randall reacted quickly and threw his phone at the middle-aged man.
The phone made contact with the middle-aged man's hand.
Bang!
The middle-aged man fired but missed.
Victoria was so frightened that she shrank back. Randall quickly went forward to subdue the middle-aged man.
At this moment, the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly cracked!
Bang!
More than 10 armed men with machine guns and bulletproof vests immediately fired at the people in the room!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
The mutants reacted quickly and immediately entered the room to help. With the help of the other mutants, Victoria would not be in any danger for the time being.
"Damn it, this app is a scam. How dare you kill my woman? You're courting death!"
Randall grabbed the middle-aged man disguised as the travel agency's boss and wanted to kill him.
But Victoria called out, "Wait a minute, Randall."
Victoria asked the middle-aged man, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
The middle-aged man snorted. "You're a dangerous person in the US. Your existence is a threat to the safety of our people. Of course I have to get rid of you!"
Victoria knew then that these people were here to kill her because of the huge commotion she caused yesterday. The thought alone made her feel very aggrieved. "You want to kill me just because I have a special ability? Am I not also a US citizen? When I was abducted by bad people and humiliated by bustards in the capital, where were you? Did you protect me before? Jordan sacrificed me to save thousands of citizens in the capital. He could have saved me! I didn't have to be tainted!!"
Victoria was hysterical. Jordan didn't mind what happened between her and Shaun. He was only bothered by what happened between her and William.
But to Victoria, she felt that her time with William was not disgusting. After all, he was someone she liked.
She had always felt humiliated by the fact that a scumbag like Shaun tainted her. This was a pain that she would never be able to wash away in her life.
When Randall heard Victoria mentioning Jordan again, it was obvious that she was still thinking about him.
Without saying anything else, he broke the middle-aged man's neck.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
The mutants were still engaged in an intense battle with the attackers. This was because the mutants did not have any weapons and only used their superpowers. The room was also small and it was not that conducive for them to use their superpowers.
Therefore, they did not manage to kill the assassins in a short period of time.
Victoria stood up angrily and commanded mutants. "Leave!"
