Chapter 1492: Bigshot’s Woman, and Switching Between Sand and Stone

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The last two targets were indeed hiding, but not very well.

Luke had locked onto the area they were in, and would be able to find them in two days.

A bigshot like this could earn him 100,000 experience and credit points in one go. 500,000 might not even be the maximum, and he might even get a huge amount of cash and secret accounts.

It was completely worth it to spend a few days on them.

On the fourth day of his operation, Luke caught one of the key targets.

Then, he had no choice but to cross the whole of Mexico and head to La Paz on the Baja California Peninsula.

The last cartel bigshot had secretly flown here two days ago.

He had made a clean getaway, but not all his trusted subordinates had run, and these people hadn’t changed their phones either.

Luke locked onto one of the phones and found one trusted subordinate in Mexico City. He then extracted the whereabouts of the bigshot from the man.

As a precautionary measure, Luke didn’t kill the man.

If this guy died, the bigshot would immediately switch to another location. That would waste too much time.

The bigshot thought that his hiding place was very well-concealed, but he didn’t know that his trusted subordinate knew where it was.

That was because this subordinate was very familiar with Claudia Phoenix, the bigshot’s favorite woman.

Claudia was familiar to many people in the gang, and she had a pretty acerbic manner.

The strange thing was that the bigshot didn’t kill her. Instead, he liked to keep her by his side.

Luke appreciated this sort of “passionate” bigshot, who always left behind a bunch of clues for Luke to track.

Flying to La Paz through the night, Luke dropped ten experimental robots two hundred meters out over the ocean.

After that, he stopped taking action himself.

He was using this operation to complete various tests on the robots and to get rid of the cartel remnants at the same time.

Like now, for example, this was a practical test after the robots were drenched in seawater.

First, two pure black robots emerged from the ocean. Then, they split up and surrounded a villa on the beach.

Then, shouts, gunshots, and screams rang out.

Luke sat down on a nearby rock with a big helmet on his head.

It was a portable remote control terminal and had an operation platform, similar to the virtual helmet from his previous life.

It only took two remote-controlled robots 30 seconds to enter the center of the villa.

The robot in the lead broke the lock with a few gunshots and opened the basement door. The two robots walked in.

The basement wasn’t big. The cartel bigshot who had escaped the net had a pale face as he looked at the robot that walked in. “Who are you?”

The robots didn’t say anything. One of them stepped forward and grabbed the bigshot by the neck before walking out.

The black lenses of the other robot scanned the room with a red light as it started to examine the room for possible “treasure.”

When bigshots like these fled, they would definitely take hundreds of millions of dollars with them to cover their and their bodyguards’ expenses.

At that moment, the ground under the feet of the two robots rumbled and suddenly collapsed, burying them instantly.

Luke immediately frowned. This could be a test for the robots, but the first robot still had that bigshot with it; it would be a shame if the bigshot just died like this.

Then, Luke was stumped.

Suddenly, there was a problem with the two remote-controlled robots; in just a few seconds, their limbs were completely damaged.

Luke could sense that their joints had been crushed by a huge force.

Enveloped in soil and concrete, the robots hadn’t detected any attackers.

With a thought, two more robots emerged from the ocean and approached the villa.

Soon, the third and fourth robots dug out the first two robots that were buried in the ground.

At that moment, several long shadows crawled out of the cracks in the rubble and quickly wrapped around the robots.

Luke’s expression changed, and he stood up.

The sand at his feet suddenly rolled up before dropping down on him.

In less than five seconds, Luke was enveloped in yellow sand. The sand quickly hardened, turning him into a stone statue.

A graceful figure walked out of the villa, a slender dark green vine stretching out from one hand with the third and fourth robots trussed up on the end.

Dragging them to the seaside, she stood in front of the stone statue that Luke’s clone had turned into and frowned. “Just one person?”

A low male voice rang out from the stone statue: “He’s the only living person in a range of several hundred meters. The two buried in the villa and the two you’re holding are robots.”

Standing in front of the clone was a woman.

She was 25 or 26 years old. She had fair skin and was of medium height. When the night wind blew, the white silk shift clung to her; she was only wearing a bikini underneath, revealing her exceptionally lush curves.

Her long, curly black hair fluttered in the wind and her purple lips were inexplicably enticing.

At that moment, she was staring at the smiling mask that the clone was wearing. “This should be Smiley Face V; the Continental Hotel has a record on him. Hm, but the information said that he always wears a wide-brimmed hat. Why is he wearing a helmet? Move and expose his chest.”

“You’re the boss. You have the final say.” The stone statue made a muffled sound, and the stone over the clone’s chest turned into sand and moved to the side to reveal the V suit underneath.

The woman stretched out her hand, and a thin, sharp black vine grew out of the tip of her finger to drill into the suit.

Watching via the drone in the sky, Luke was surprised.

This woman was none other than Claudia Phoenix, the cartel bigshot’s favorite woman.

On the virtual screen, the damage to the suit was increasing. There was a rapidly flashing red dot on the chest, which indicated that the black vine was about to break through the armor.

Luke hadn’t expected Claudia’s super ability to be so destructive.

For now, however, this woman wasn’t important.

The important thing was the other entity which could switch freely between sand and stone, and which could attach itself to the clone and turn into a solid stone cage.

Luke had already tried, but his inventory couldn’t store this stone cage.

This stone layer had its own consciousness; it was a superhuman who controlled sand and stone.

As long as the guy was on guard, he might run.

Given his ability to switch between sand and stone, it would be easy for the man to escape, but Luke didn’t want to kill him.

His mind whirled and he didn’t hurry to take action.

The tiny black vine broke through the suit in ten seconds and pierced Luke’s chest.

Claudia relaxed and abruptly felt that this would be another smooth operation. She said casually, “Okay, you can let him go, Hodge. Just watch the show.”

“Okay,” the man said in a low voice.. The stone turned into sand and slid off Luke, before it flowed five meters away and took a human form.
