My Reborn Apocalypse Begins with a Divorce novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Bruce slowly lowered the phone.

“Sir?” The four bodyguards all turned to look at him.

Bruce had lied. He didn’t have just two bodyguards–he had four.

He set the phone on the table, his brows knitting slightly, and glanced at the beautiful woman beside him. She looked to be about twenty–four or twenty–five, a young boy of three or four sleeping soundly in her arms.

“He refused,” Bruce said flatly.

The woman adjusted the child and gently rocked him. “Didn’t you say he was lecherous? And he still turned down an offer like that?”

Bruce smiled faintly. “Yes. That’s exactly why it surprised me.”

He rubbed his temples, looking deeply troubled.

“Bruce, what do we do now?” one of the bodyguards asked. “Force our way in?”

“Force it?” Bruce laughed. “Haven’t several groups already tried that? Your combat ability is far above that of ordinary people, but in terms of raw strength, you’re at most twice that of a normal man. With just the four of you, you think you can break in by force?”

The beautiful woman spoke up. “Then I’ll go and lure him into opening the door.”

Bruce shook his head again. “His villa must have been heavily modified. If I’d spent that much money on renovations, do you think I wouldn’t install surveillance? Even though there’s a power outage now, I could easily run my own generator with diesel or gasoline and keep it going for ten days or half a month without issue.

“So the moment we show up at his door, even if we don’t make a sound, he’ll know.”

“And besides,” Bruce sighed, “didn’t Rudy say it? Ray can even control the fire sprinkler system and spray poisonous water on people. Let me ask you this–if you’re lying in wait at someone’s door and they suddenly drench you in toxic liquid, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”

The four bodyguards were dumbfounded.

When it came to fighting or killing, they were professionals. But this kind of situation, where brains mattered more than brawn, was completely outside their comfort zone.

So what now?

Bruce shook his head. “Why are you all so fixated on Ray? He probably has plenty of supplies, but under the eurrent circumstances, he’s not easy to deal with. Let’s shift our focus to others instead. For example, we take control of the entire residential complex. Once everything’s under our thumb, we can have people dig through walls. I refuse to believe we won’t be able to get to Ray.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. Indeed, there were so many households in the complex–why obsess over Ray alone?

Other people had food and water too.

In terms of brains, they had Bruce. In terms of force, the four bodyguards were each capable of taking on ten men. With a combination like that, how could they fail to dominate a mere residential complex?

The beautiful woman said nothing, simply holding her son in her arms.

Ray stretched lazily. By his count, there were already two groups in the complex that had openly threatened him.

One was a fraud. The other was a tycoon.

“Neither can be underestimated,” Ray muttered.

In his previous life, he had been a complete nobody, someone who would never have crossed paths with such ” important figures.” Even living in the same complex, they might as well have existed in two different worlds.

But now, both groups had their eyes fixed squarely on him.
