    Was he crazy?


    Of course not.


    However, he might as well have been crazy under the watchful eyes of the audience.


    “Shouldn’t Vic throw a smoke grenade here?”


    “Yeah, the motorcycle is in the middle of the road. How is he going to get on it without a smokescreen?”


    “He will be stationary once he gets on the motorcycle. When that timees, the Devil King Shroud will just deliver a bullet into his brain!”


    “Game over, man! That f*cker must be too full of himself after that flying motorcycle stunt.”


    Everyone in the live stream channel became anxious as they watched the ensuing scene.


    To prop up and ride the motorcycle under the sights of a Kar98K was somewhat ridiculous.


    However, the following scene made everyone gasp in surprise.


    Liu Zng did not recklessly get on the motorcycle as everyone had expected. Instead, he circled the motorcycle like a matador.


    ‘What’s that fe doing?’


    Everyone in the live audience and live stream channel was confused when they saw this.


    At a second-floor window in Mylta.


    Shroud lifted an eyebrow when he saw it. His first conclusion was that Liu Zng was taunting him.


    ‘Oh, a moving target?’


    The pupils in his eyes constricted.


    His crosshair followed Liu Zng’s movements for a while. Then, he pulled his crosshair to the front of him.


    Bang!


    A crisp gunshot rang out!


    A sniper bullet pierced the air!


    A prediction shot!


    “Ah!” The audience yelped in surprise when they heard the gunshot!


    “Oh! He missed!”


    “Too bad, I think Vic stopped for just a moment.”


    “Oh? Vic has gotten on his motorcycle!”


    “Wait, he got on his motorcycle this time... I understand now!”


    “Vic was drawing out the gunshot!”


    The threementators on the tform watched Liu Zng prop up his motorcycle and then ride on it as he full-throttled ahead.


    Not only had thementators figured out his n, but even the viewers had figured out what he was doing...


    Liu Zng had circled the motorcycle to get his opponent to shoot at him, and it was not because he was too full of himself.


    It was because it was hard for a sniper to miss a stationary target.


    Liu Zng would be stationary if he propped up the motorcycle and got on it.


    A top-tier yer like Shroud would definitely hit him if he stood there without a smokescreen.


    Something important to remember was that the Kar98K was a bolt action sniper rifle.


    It meant that after every shot, its operator had to pull the bolt before firing another round.


    By drawing out a shot from his opponent, Liu Zng was able to get onto the motorcycle while his opponent had to pull the bolt and could not fire.


    ...


    Shroud figured out his trick the instant he pulled the trigger.


    However, it was already toote, even if he were to swap guns.


    He tried to make the best out of his mistake. After pulling the bolt of his gun, he pulled his crosshair over to aim at Liu Zng who was speeding away on his motorcycle.


    However, because of the motorcycle’s speed, it was hard for him to hit his target even with an automatic rifle, what more a bolt action rifle.


    Bang!


    Another gunshot was heard!


    Unsurprisingly, Shroud missed again.


    In a sh, Liu Zng neared the small building with his motorcycle.


    “Amazing! Let’s record that one for the textbook on how to ride a vehicle while being aimed at. He’s onto Shroud’s face now!


    “So, what’s he going to do this time? Flying motorcycle again?”


    “Oh! Vic parked his motorcycle under the building. It looks like he’s going to storm the building normally this time.”


    “What about Shroud then? How will the Devil King wee his guest?”


    As thementators spoke rapidly, the people in the live audience and live stream channel watched the tournament screen unblinkingly with their eyes open.


    They were eager to find out how Liu Zng would redefine ‘storming the building’ once again in the seemingly normal invasion.


    Shroud did not give Liu Zng the opportunity to do so. More precisely, he did not wait for Liu Zng on the second floor.


    The moment Liu Zng pushed open the front door, Shroud jumped off the second floor through the window that had been broken earlier.


    Even though the sound of ss breaking was not heard, Liu Zng’s sharp ears heard the sound of Shroud hitting the ground. He immediately went after the direction of the sound.


    Shroud did not head toward Liu Zng’s direction. Instead, he entered another building as Liu Zng gave chase.


    “Shroud... it looks like he’s running away from Vic.”


    On thementary tform, Lord Rong took a deep breath as he furrowed his brows slightly. “He might know the extent of Vic’s skills and does not want to confront him directly. That’s why he’s looking for alternatives.”


    “Kiting,” Su Changming said as he nodded, “It looks like Shroud has managed to escape Vic’s pursuit for now. However, being in a ce like Mylta which is crowded with buildings, the one giving chase is actually on the passive side. This is because he’s restricted by the runner’s movements.”


    “I understand what Boss Su is trying to get at.” Ruo Feng adjusted the spectacles that rested on his big nose. “Once the person in front finds a hiding spot, the roles of the hunter and the hunted will be reversed.”


    “Oh! Shroud has gone into another building. This time, he has stopped.”


    “How about Vic? I think he’s lost.”


    “The blue circle is already on them. Both of them are taking circle damage now, they have to settle their fight fast.”


    “If they’re going to fight a battle of attrition while taking circle damage, no winners might be left in the end.”


    “...”


    In the match, Liu Zng was without a doubt lost.


    A backhand grenade toss from Shroud had distracted his attention earlier. By the time he came back to his senses, it was all quiet around him, he did not hear a single footstep.


    Awash in the clear radioactive blue web that was like a gentle tide, Liu Zng furrowed his brows. He was thinking of leaving.


    Without knowing the exact position of his opponent, he dared not move recklessly. Otherwise, he might be attacked from the back as soon as he got on his motorcycle.


    Liu Zng was sure that his opponent would not give him a second chance. He would not as well if their positions were reversed.


    He took a nce at the rooftop of the three-story building next to him. He had a brainwave and decided to go and take a look.


    From the high vantage point, he might be able to see if his opponent had slipped out of Mylta.


    What Liu Zng did not expect was for Shroud to be at the second-floor window of the building that was next to his; they had identally be neighbors.


    Shroud, half-crouched at the window, was waiting for his target to show up. He was surprised!


    ‘Have I been discovered?’


    He shifted his feet away from the window to prevent his opponent from lobbing a grenade.


    However, the sounds he made by shifting his feet had exposed his position to Liu Zng who was next door.


    ‘So he’s here...’ Liu Zng looked at the window opposite him.


    Then, his lips curled into a smile.


    As if struck by an idea, he swiftly headed up to the rooftop.
