The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer)

Chapter 1074 Bullets Come To A Halt

His laptop contained a wealth of information about the organization. If this sensitive data were to be exposed, Donald and his associates wouldn't need to take any direct action; the organization would send someone to take his life.

In this critical moment, Aspen recognized the immense significance of that computer more than anyone else. He even wished that all his subordinates could be deployed to scour the area for that computer.

Just as Aspen was about to lose his temper, two of his subordinates crashed through a wall, hurtling outside.

These two subordinates plummeted to the ground like lifeless sandbags, their bodies convulsing uncontrollably.

Gazing toward the shattered wall, Penelope, attired in a suit, could be seen sauntering nonchalantly from the hole in the wall, clutching a laptop in her hand.

“So it really is you.”

Aspen's countenance darkened. “Surrender the laptop, and I might consider sparing your life.”

He had good reason to speak so confidently.

The instant Penelope came into his line of sight, the other bodyguards swiftly trained their firearms on her.

These guns were loaded with godbreaker bullets, and if Penelope dared to make a rash move, these bodyguards wouldn't hesitate to unleash a hail of bullets upon her.

Penelope remained silent, her gaze fixed on Donald, who was engaged in a fight with the cyborg.

Aspen surmised that Penelope might be counting on Donald to come to her aid.

With a cold sneer, Aspen said, “He's too busy saving his own skin right now, I doubt he has the time to look after you. If you're willing to hand over the laptop to me, I might just spare your life. Otherwise...”

Aspen refrained from issuing a direct order to open fire because he harbored concerns that the bullets might inadvertently damage the laptop during the shooting process.

However, in Aspen's perspective, a damaged laptop was a more acceptable outcome compared to a potential data breach.

Therefore, if Penelope refused to cooperate, Aspen believed there was no need for further words.

Indeed, Penelope averted her gaze from Donald.

It was not that she felt Donald didn't have time to come save her, but instead, she sensed that Donald was deeply engrossed in the ongoing battle and in a heightened state of concentration, clearly exhilarated.

As Lord Campbell in Quadfield, Donald's combat prowess consistently ranked at the zenith of human capability. This effectively implied that, for many years, finding a truly challenging adversary had proven to be a rare occurrence for Donald.

Even though it was unclear what exactly Aspen and his team did to the cyborg, it was unmistakable that this cyborg possessed a formidable level of power.

The cyborg's ability to endure Donald's sustained assault for such a prolonged period was, in itself, a remarkable accomplishment.

Consequently, Donald relished the sensation of finally encountering a worthy adversary and wasn't in a hurry to end the battle.

Comprehending Donald's intentions, Penelope motioned to Aspen and uttered a single word, “Come.”

That single word was laden with disdain for Aspen.

Aspen was furious.

She's just a woman. What gives her the audacity to be so arrogant?

“Open fire!”

With Aspen's command, all the bodyguards immediately opened fire on Penelope.

Aspen had initially anticipated that Penelope would be swiftly overwhelmed by the barrage of bullets.

Yet, to his astonishment, the godbreaker bullets abruptly came to a halt about two meters in front of Penelope, as if an invisible barrier had intercepted each and every one of them.

“Impossible! These are godbreaker bullets! She can't possibly block them!”

Upon witnessing this scene, Aspen was dumbfounded.

The immunity of Stella Warriors to thermal weapons stemmed from their strength level, which was exceptionally high. They could effortlessly harness their internal Stella Warrior energy to create a protective barrier around themselves, rendering them impervious to harm from bullets or explosions.

Though this technique might appear straightforward, it demanded a specific degree of expertise and finesse to achieve mastery.

The innovation of godbreaker bullets hinged on the fact that the bullets bore an enchanting effect, allowing them to bypass conventional defenses. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Hence, the barrier created by Stella Warrior energy was essentially ineffectual against godbreaker bullets. These bullets could inflict substantial harm, even on the bodies of Stella Warriors.

However, at this very moment, all the godbreaker bullets had actually come to a halt right in front of Penelope.
