Chapter 235: Chapter 188: Moment of Assassination, Unfilial Son (Part 3)

She quickly confirmed her suspicions.

Because...

Every minute or so, new ripples would appear about a hundred meters away.

They appeared out of nowhere.

’I’ve finally found you.’

Right then, Xia Yu was wondering how to get close to Sam Odyssey!

’Everyone’s superpower has a limited daily duration.’

’So Sam Odyssey definitely won’t change his swimming direction. His superpower can’t last that long. Which means... following his current trajectory, he should be coming ashore right over there!’

’That spot is more secluded!’

’No one passes by there.’

’And it happens to be out of sight of the helicopters and the bridge!’

She instantly deduced his next move based on her experience. ’It seems Sam Odyssey planned his escape route well in advance.’

VROOM.

Without hesitating, she got in the car and stomped on the gas.

She sped off.

She couldn’t drive directly to the spot Sam Odyssey had chosen to come ashore; it required a long detour. She knew she couldn’t afford to waste any time!

One minute.

Two minutes.

...

Time passed, second by second, minute by minute.

Unfortunately,

she ran into a traffic jam!

A massive one!

She glanced at the long line of cars ahead, her brow furrowing. She immediately got out...

"Hi, I’ll send you five hundred."

"Can you let me cut in on the side? It’s an emergency."

Xia Yu wasted no time. She got out and went from car to car in the adjacent lane, using money to clear a path.

As expected, it worked.

After all, five hundred... many people don’t even earn that much in a day. Why wouldn’t they agree to wait a little longer for that much money?

She spent over ten thousand in total.

Xia Yu finally succeeded in passing car after car, eventually using the dedicated bus lane to escape the traffic jam.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty.

She finally arrived near her target location.

She pulled over and parked.

She was about to rush toward the riverbank.

But the next moment...

She stopped in her tracks, noticing a trail of wet footprints not far away.

They were fresh.

The footprints were no more than five minutes old.

’Sam Odyssey should have made it to shore by now.’

’These footprints are probably his!’

SWOOSH.

With that thought, Xia Yu didn’t hesitate and immediately gave chase.

She didn’t even go to the riverbank.

...

...

Sam Odyssey.

After climbing out of the Flower River, his clothes were soaked, water dripped from his body and hair, and he was also starting to sweat. So... this mix of river water and sweat trickled down his pant legs.

It left a trail of wet footprints on the ground.

There was nothing to be done about it.

’Those warriors protecting Wang Shang probably won’t find me here.’

’By the time they get here, the footprints will have dried.’

’The most important thing now is to get out of here.’

With that thought, he didn’t dwell on it. ’The faster, the better.’

He began to recall the details of the recent fight...

He had stabbed Wang Shang three times, and he had even stabbed that powerful warrior protecting Wang Shang once. If he hadn’t been kicked by the other guy, he could have held his breath longer.

Unfortunately,

the kick made him lose his breath, drastically reducing how long he could stay under. On top of that, the warrior protecting Wang Shang was fighting like a man possessed. To save his own skin... he hesitated for just a moment before deciding to swim away.

So.

’I can’t be sure if Wang Shang is dead or not.’

’I hope that bastard isn’t that lucky.’

Sam Odyssey wasn’t annoyed. Recalling the terrifying combat power displayed by the warrior protecting Wang Shang, he felt a lingering fear.

If he hadn’t had a superpower, the element of surprise from his sneak attack, and the advantage of being underwater, he wouldn’t have even been able to injure Wang Shang...

Instead, he would have been shot and killed on the spot!

He saw a taxi and was just about to hail it.

Suddenly,

he saw a portly, middle-aged man in a chef’s uniform inside a nearby restaurant. With a ferocious expression, he was shouting at his own father, "Get lost! Whoever wants to take care of you can take care of you! I’m done!"

"All you do is eat, eat, eat! Is meat really that delicious?"

"Unbelievable."

"Get out!"

Spittle flew from his mouth as he brandished the spatula in his hand, looking like he might smash it over his father’s body at any moment.

His father, rail-thin and perhaps starving, stumbled and fell. He scrambled away, crying fearfully.

Seeing this,

Sam Odyssey, who had been about to take the taxi, stopped in his tracks. His gaze turned icy cold...
