The night had just fallen.
Jace had already worn his clown jumpsuit; only the makeup remained.
Today was the day.
Jace would be performing his final act today.
As a Seer, he had performed many divinations; for the past week, he had done nothing but prepare.
And he finally decided today was the day.
He sat before a mirror, wore a net over his head, and started painting his face.
The room was dim, illuminated only by a single flickering lamp
Finally, he put on a green hair-colored wig. Looking at his appearance, he felt that it was well done.
He stood up and went to the table in the room.
On the table were many things. He picked up the white gloves lying around and put them on his hands, and looked at the table.
He first picked up the gun, that was loaded with bullets except for one barrel as a safety; he put it inside the pocket of his jumpsuit.
Next, he picked up the square box. Inside was an iron knuckle.
He picked it up and felt its power, but he quickly put it inside his pocket; he would use it in time of need.
Now the only things remaining on the table were 2 stacks of paper cards.
He picked the card stacks and put them in convenient places.
He looked around in the shabby room, and found nothing else that he needed.
He exhaled a deep breath and walked out the door.
——
It didn't take much time for Jace to get to the operation site.
He had already mapped out the points of police patrols and hiding spots around the spot.
Currently, he was hiding in one of them.
The place he was hiding was behind the wall of a fallen house.
He peeked around the wall and saw 2 guys outside the front.
He had already looked behind the 2-story building and there was only 1 guy, but he was already kind of sleepy.
With Spirit Vision, he had already confirmed that the guy behind the building was a normal guy with a gun, and one of the two men in front was a Beyonder and the other was normal.
So he decided he would start with the one behind.
Curving around the ruined walls and houses, he made it to the back.
He sat in a concealed spot waiting for the right opportunity.
At first, he thought it would be best to just pull out a few cards and attack at the throat, but that seemed too normal.
So he walked in a crouched position silently and sneaked behind the man and stood upright behind him.
The man, of course, didn't notice him. Jace leaned closer to the man's ear.
"Peek-a-boo!" he whispered.
The man turned rigid, but before he could do anything, a gloved hand grabbed his mouth tightly, making him unable to make a sound.
Before he could think to pull out his gun, a knife entered his neck's jugular vein.
Jace didn't stop; he held the knife with strength and sliced the man's neck deeply.
Blood sprayed and flowed in silence until the man went limp.
Jace laid the body on the ground softly and stood up.
He looked at his hand, which held the bloodied knife and now a red glove.
He had stolen the knife from the same man.
This kill was different.
Unlike the usual where Jace would never engage physically and just riddle them with cards, this time he had held the man and killed him personally up close.
Stabbing someone required more strength than he had imagined.
The smell of blood was disgusting and repulsive. He didn't like it; in fact, it wasn't an overstatement to say that he hated it.
Jace was a proper man, who liked to keep things clean and orderly.
He naturally didn't like messes. And killing people was a messy act, so he hated it, but he was fine with the fact that he had killed.
Nevertheless, this wasn't the time to think.
Jace again hid in the shadows near the building.
He went around the wall and stood at the edge and peeked out.
He saw the 2 men in front of the building. One of them was a Beyonder of Sequence 9 according to Jace.
Jace could definitely "eliminate" them, but the point was to eliminate them before they could make a sound, so he had to be fast.
So he put his hand into his pocket and put on the iron knuckle.
He got out of the hiding and threw 2 cards with precision towards the normal guy, and instantly ran to the Beyonder.
The Beyonder didn't have any time to react. Jace slit his throat with significant ease.
The two men fell on the ground at the same time with soft thuds.
After completing the attack, Jace immediately removed the knuckle and put it in his pocket.
This scuffle almost seemed too easy, but it was fair.
When he wore the knuckle, Jace experienced a significant boost in his physical capabilities and with that strength and speed he threw 2 cards at the normal guy.
He now looked at the fallen man with 2 cards in his throat.
As for the Beyonder, the poor guy didn't even notice what happened. Jace was just too fast; the guy died in confusion.
This was just the difference between Sequence 7 and normal people.
Jace once again went near the wall to conceal himself.
His task was not yet done.
There were at least 2 or 3 more people in the building.
Thankfully, he hadn't made a noise at all, so he should be able to use the element of surprise.
