The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2147

At such a close distance, the power of the heavy-duty compound crossbow was enough to penetrate a human skull.

Also, Mr. Good was a top assassin who was extremely good at using a crossbow as his weapon, so he had absolute certainty that he could kill Charlie with a single blow. He had been working as an assassin for fifteen years and had never failed to kill his target with a crossbow.

In the blink of an eye, he aimed the crossbow at Charlie and pulled the trigger without any hesitation!

The bowstring produced a crisp buzzing sound followed by the release of the arrow made of titanium alloy and carbon fiber that sped straight toward Charlie's temple. 5

The speed of the arrow exceeded one hundred meters per second, not to mention that this heavy-duty compound crossbow was a modified killing machine, so its speed was almost close to two hundred meters per second. 1

At such a speed, the target had less than 0.5 seconds to respond at such a close distance, which meant he wouldn't even able to turn his head to see what had happened!

Therefore, Mr. Good was confident that Charlie was a

dead man, and he was ready to witness Charlie's head burst open when the arrow pierced through his skull. 3

He knew very well that the arrow was laced with poison, so the target would be dead even if it merely grazed the skin of the target. 4

Unexpectedly, Charlie didn't even look his way. Instead, he casually reached out and grabbed the arrow that was flying his way!

"H-How is that possible!"

Mr. Good was utterly dumbfounded!

The captain was equally stunned and said, "Mr. Good, do you see what I see? Is that guy clutching the arrow you just shot?!" 6 Mr. Good was sweating profusely. "Y-Yes! That guy is insane! I've never seen such a strong person...'

11

With that, he hurriedly asked, "Who the hell is he?"

The captain answered in panic, "I don't know! I just received an order from Lord Schulz to inform you to finish him off..." Gritting his teeth, Mr. Good said, "I'll shoot him again! I doubt he'll be able to catch it this time!"

The compound crossbow had two sets of bowstrings where it could reload two arrows and perform continuous shooting.

After shooting the arrows, the bowstring had to be reloaded. Reloading the arrows on the heavy-duty compound crossbow was not an easy task. Even if Mr. Good did it himself, it would take him at least ten seconds, which meant the remaining arrow was his last chance. 3

Just then, the captain suddenly stopped him and said, "Mr. Good, Lord Schulz has orders to activate the contingency plan if you can't kill him! Are you certain that you can kill him with the last arrow?" 3 Astounded, Mr. Good hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, saying, "No, I'm not sure..."

The captain said with a cold expression, "Mr. Good, if you're not absolutely sure, we'll execute the contingency plan!" 3

Mr. Good nodded lightly and said, "Okay. Execute the contingency plan, then!"

Meanwhile, on the deck of the other ship.

Rosalie was in a state of horror as she watched Charlie grab the crossbow arrow that was flying toward him at enormous speed with just one hand!

She exclaimed in her heart, 'W-What the hell is he?! Is he even a human? The speed of the arrow is faster and even more potent than the blow I just delivered him! He managed to grab it with one hand without even looking at it! What kind of power and ability does he even possess?!'

Charlie looked at Rosalie's stunned expression and smiled faintly. "Why? Does it feel as though everything you've known has just crumbled apart?" 1 Rosalie nodded slowly.
