The Invincible Arthur Gardner

Chapter 22 - The Final Push

Arthur felt as if the knowledge of how to use the handgun had been instantly embedded into his nerves,

like muscle memory. He was immediately familiar with the cold, metallic surface of his handgun. "It's so

smooth," he whispered to himself.

Arthur spun around, his enhanced vision, memory, and intelligence allowing him to identify and quickly

commit to memory the exact positions of the 26 lights distributed throughout the room. With ease, he

imprinted the locations in his mind.

Arthur confidently wielded two handguns in each hand, while the others he tucked securely into his

waistband and jacket. His impressive dexterity and agility allowed him to easily spin the two handguns

around his finger.

With a firm grip on the trigger, Arthur pointed the gun at Aston and pulled it back. He heard the loud

bang of the gunshot that echoed through the air and felt a strange sense of normalcy, despite it being

the first time he had ever fired a gun.

The bullet whizzed past Aston's ear, narrowly missing, before continuing its trajectory toward the light

at the end of the room. The light shattered into pieces, producing a loud and piercing siren sound.

"Attention everyone! Catch him, dead or alive, or you will die!" Aston shouted desperately as Arthur

now had all the weapons in his possession.

Arthur spun around quickly, and with a careful eye and steady hand, he took aim and fired his handgun.

Every bullet found its mark. The room was plunged into darkness in a matter of moments,

accompanied by a chorus of sirens.

With his body upgrade, Arthur quickly became accustomed to the darkness, and he was able to easily

pinpoint Claudina's location on the stage. Arthur then sprinted forward at an impressive speed, ducking

and dodging the people that were guarding and surrounding him. They threw punches at Arthur wildly,

yet he seemed to be able to dodge them with a slight tilt of his upper body, and he ran back onto the

stage.

[Host, I wish I could record this incident and spread it on the internet. It would be hilarious! People

might think we were shooting the latest Mission Impossible movie! *chuckles]

Four burly men stood around Claudina, ready to pounce and cause Arthur some trouble. However,

Arthur was confident in the upgrades he had made and quickly came up with a plan. He leaped onto

the stage and ran towards the four men.

"Hey everyone! Take out your phones and turn on the flashlight app. Point it at the stage!"

Aston was dejected as he attempted to stand in Arthur's way. He was determined not to allow this

man's egregious blunder to pass unnoticed. As a ruler, he wielded a strength that could not be

underestimated!

"Whoever captures him," Aston boomed, "I promise that you will be rewarded with a life of abundance

until the day you die!" Several phone flashlights illuminated the stage as he shouted, revealing Arthur's

exact whereabouts.

"Can you handle this with ease, Mr. Glitzy?" the imposing figure before Arthur asked with a menacing

grin, his large fist raised in Arthur's direction.

Arthur seemed to be able to anticipate the man's fist, and with a swift move, he dodged downwards

and threw a punch from below toward the man's jaw. However, the man grabbed Arthur's fist with his

left hand, and three other people rushed toward him in an attempt to restrain him.

Three men simultaneously grabbed Arthur's left and right hands, and one person positioned himself

behind him, firmly locking him in place. Before Arthur could react, a fourth person stood in front of him,

ready to throw a punch at his face. Should the blow land, it was certain that Arthur would faint.

"He is incredibly proficient with a gun, is he an assassin? Or is he a professional shooter? His ability to

shoot with such accuracy and skill is certainly not something that can be acquired overnight; it requires

dedication and years of rigorous practice."

"He's shockingly agile and can even move swiftly in the dark, it's really impressive!"

The room erupted in gasps of awe and admiration for Arthur's accomplishment.

"It appears that Mr. Glitzy's days are numbered tonight; Mr. Aston won't let anyone who has slighted

him off the hook!"

Arthur attempted to flee, but he soon realized that three people of formidable size were restraining his

movement, making it nearly impossible for him to escape. With no other viable options, he was

ultimately forced to use his remaining VIP points to escape this predicament.

Claudina gazed in disbelief at the scene before her, totally shocked and unable to comprehend what

was unfolding. She noticed a man, whom she was unfamiliar with, attacking his adversary with

incredible force and courage, despite being drastically outnumbered.

He was desperately attempting to escape this predicament, even though there was no chance of him

succeeding. Who is this person with such unwavering determination? What is driving him? Is he

prepared to take risks for her, someone he doesn't even know? What if he regrets his actions later?

"Stop!" Claudina shouted desperately, her voice rising in intensity. "Let him go! I'm the one you're

looking for, not him. Please, I'm begging you, don't make him suffer because of me!"

Arthur was left with only 30 VIP points, and he considered using them to purchase martial arts skills,

but he realized that these skills would be inadequate if he lacked the strength to defend himself against

three opponents at once.

"I'm out of options. System! I would like to use 10 of my remaining VIP points to increase my physical

strength and an additional 20 to unlock martial arts skills."

A sudden rush of energy coursed through Arthur's body as if he had been injected with a powerful

stimulant. His muscles grew taut, and his body became as solid as a rock.

Arthur seemed to have calculated every move he would make against the four people encircling him.

[System Comment: Ahoy, Host! It's the perfect time for you to proclaim, "I'm here to save the day!" I

mean, what would a valiant Knight do without a legendary line to below while rescuing the girl he loves

from danger?]

"System, enough of the corny dialogue!" he exclaimed before taking action.
