Meanwhile, Emma was under a continuous attack of bullets. His enemy prepared for his arrival. Both the sound grenade and smoke grenade were ineffective against the last team of attackers. They adorn a mask and cover their ears with sound barriers. The boss had joined the last team, trying to stop him. The four attacks were perfect coordination. They left no opening for Emma to explore. 

>>What are you going to do now… They know all your strategies.

'Don't disrupt my train of thought!' Emma snapped.

>>..,Speechless.

>>I wanted to offer help. But now you can go to hell.

'Help, your head. Watch what I will show you… How, I, your Grandpa teach them a lesson.'

Emma took a deep breath. 'This is the last magazine. It must count.' He popped his head a little from his hidden position and started to shoot the window on both sides. Discovering this, the attacker stupefied. 

What's going on?

Anything he's planning isn't good. 

They increase their attack. But it was already too late. Emma smiled mischievously. He threw four grenades at the same time. The sound that came from the sound grenade amplified a lot, shocking the attacking while the smoke thickened. The grenades affect Emma but he endures it without losing his concentration. However, the attackers paused for a few seconds under the piercing sound and thick smoke. And that was Emma's opening.

Swiss!

Emma used the Heaven Stone Punch movement skills and jumped out of the window. Everything happened in a fraction of seconds. Unknown to the attackers they resume their attack, snickering.

'You think you can affect us with these pony grenades. Dream on. Let's see how long you last in that corner.' Boss Parker thought. 

Meanwhile, Emma landed perfectly outside without making a sound. 'Since I started practicing Heavenly Stone Punch. I have a lot of control over my muscles.' He raised his lips slightly. 'Let the hunts begin'

>>You really amaze me…

'Say it. Say it.' Emma teased Lily. 'Say I'm awesome. Call me Awesome Grandpa' He was delighted after having an edge over Lily.

>>I won't… Besides, you haven't defeated them yet. Humph. Don't come crying when you get your ass kicked. 

Emma shook his head and walked in stealthy footsteps. Emma passed the attackers and exhaled. 'The first step is over. Now let's begin the second.' He climbed the train quietly. Reaching the top of the train. He walked and stopped at the location where the attackers were firing. He checked his guns. One of his pistols was empty. While the other had three bullets. 

Sighed.

Lily wanted to talk but kept quiet and watched Emma's action. 'Can he do it?'

The cold air in the tunnel blows to Emma's face. Emma only saw the halogen light illuminating the dark tunnel on both sides and nothing else. He couldn't see the end of the tunnel. 'I guess we are in the middle of the tunnel.'

Spontaneously, Parker squinted his eyes, shaking his head, muttering "I don't believe he surrendered. He's too shrewd for that." His muscles tensed. 'Has he been hit by the bullets?'

However, Parker's heartbeat and pulse increase. He looked everywhere carefully but found nothing amiss. He only sees the death, and cries of the passenger. 'Have we finally killed the asshole'

Meanwhile, Emma took a deep breath. He calmed his breathing, facing sideways. Attaining peak condition, Emma jumped into the air and performed an acrobatic move in the air. Air whistling in his ear, his flaunting over his shoulder but he never lost his focus. Reaching the window level, he caught the edge of the window and parachuted himself inside the train. 

The attackers didn't think in their wildest dream that Emma would come from the window. They were caught off guard. Emma didn't land when he punched the nearest person using his punch skill. The attacker flies, crashing to god knows where while Emma didn't dilly dally. He shoots the two nearest people on the forehead while turning to the last person. Parker.

Parker being the leader of the team recovered faster than his subordinate. After Emma turned to him, he had already fired his gun with a victory smile on his face. But at that moment, Emma twisted his body at an impossible angle and fired his gun. They looked at each other… 

Thud!

Silence.

 Blood flows on the floor. But whose blood? Meanwhile, the train remained still, those weeping or crying in agony stopped. The air ceased to rush in, people held their breath while they widened their eyes, looking at a particular location.

Hum!

A groan came from the floor, disrupting the still train. Like a chain reaction, cheers and cries filled the train. All the hidden passengers came out from their hideout, walking to a particular young man trying to stand with so much difficulty. He clenched his teeth, straightened his back, covering his stomach with his left arm, and looked at the people around him.

The people looked at him with a smile and gratitude. Seeing them, the young man put on a forced smile. He didn't know how to react to the people around him, but kept quiet.

"…You're injured. You need to take care of it."

"Boy, you need to take care of that wound."

"Anybody here who knows how to treat a gunshot wound."

 The train quieted, everyone looking at each other. But no one among them knew how to treat a gunshot injury. Seeing this, Emma shook his head. He opened.

"Fuck! How can you be so useless? If not for this Oldman is too old. I would have done it."

Scorn.

"Old your head. Tsk"

"Shameless man."

"Don't worry. I have a way to take care of myself." Emma tried to escape from their bickering. 'God! What kind of people are these? They have all forgotten about the dead people.' 

"Boy, don't act too strong. Stay here and let us find someone to take care of your injury."

"No, thank you."

"…Y-young boys nowadays won't follow the idea of this Oldman. Forget it. I have done my part."

"What's going on here?" Lee asked in a loud voice. While Jenkins had no expression on his face. They both held their weapon ready to fire.

At once, the people turned their heads, seeing two men with rifles frighten them and horror appeared on their faces. They trembled, legs turned to jelly, and backfilled with cold sweats. 

"AH! This old man is having a heart attack…. I can't stand, I need to sit and take my drug. Please make way… don't let this Oldman die."

Rolling their eyes. Shameless.

'Call me whatever you want. I don't care. I'm not ready to die. Don't worry I will give you a nice funeral.'

 "Both of you come here," Emma commanded. 'I need to restore the system quickly. I'm losing too much blood.'

Hearing a familiar, Lee and Jenkins smile lightly. They approach the voice while the people make way for them. However, when they saw Emma's situation, their mouths slacked. But he quickly recovered and rushed to Emma's side.

"Are you alright?" They asked at the same time. 'I guess no one is strong in the presence of bullets. He is still human though.'

"I'm alright. One of you should stay here while one of you should support the control room" Emma announced with some difficulty.

Quickly, Jenkins stayed while Lee supported Emma to the control room. 'Is he really an AI engineer? Or what did he want to do in the control room.'

Inside the control room, Emma looked at the rows of devices with three monitors at the top. He sat on the control seat and began to enter a series of instructions to the console. 'I have less than a minute. I can make it.'

>>You have to hurry. Your body is about to shut down…

Emma didn't reply to Lily. He continued to type with great speed. He didn't notice the expression on Lee's face. Though if he knew he wouldn't have cared.

'Seriously, How is this possible? I can barely see his hand movement. This a freak'

>>Slow… You won't make it with this speed…

If Lee heard Lily's comment. He would have puked out blood. If this hand speed is slow. Then, others are not even typing.

Emma's eyelid became heavy every second but he struggled to maintain his consciousness. Without him, no one could restore the system. And god knows when the rescue team will arrive.

>>Follow my instructions…

Lily began to give Emma instruction and instantly his hand moved another notch. Lee finds it difficult to believe what he's seeing. 'How come his hand speed can still increase. Don't tell me that it isn't the highest speed.'

Beep! Beep!

Emma pressed the last button and his eyelid closed, falling from the chair. However, Lee quickly caught him. He looked at his face, and then back to his stomach drenched in cold blood. 'Why did he push himself so much? The system did not….'

Beep! Beep! Beep!

'System is back online.' 

Lee's jaw dropped. He shook his head. 'People of this caliber can't reason with common sense.'

With the system back online, all the robots resumed their functions while the train officials were released from their bondage by the Train AI. The quiet and gloomy atmosphere burst into noise. Mostly, cries of joy while some weep because of their lost ones. 

"Is he the one that saved us all?" Captain Murray asked, his eyes soft, filled with an inner glow. He released his bodily tension.

Lee nodded. "Without him, maybe all of us will end up in the slave market."

"I know. I'm quite thankful for his effort." Captain Murray gave a genuine smile that built and lit up his face. "Take him to the infirmary. In a few hours, he should be back up to his feet." 'I don't expect such a man to exist in Thango.. I guess all hope is not lost.'
