We should only expect any form of attack at least an hour from now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long till we reach Halden Settlement?\" Sophie asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A couple of hours from now, if we don’t take a break,\" he replied, humming a soft tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Gabriel’s voice echoed. \"For someone whose life is in danger, you seem too calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you could say I’ve done this a couple of times... doing a routine task can be numbing. That’s just how it is with experience—the fear just fades,\" Victor replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel nodded. \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group continued in silence, and after several moments, everyone became alert as they sensed a few presences surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel, who had been slowly dozing off, opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s just as Victor predicted,’ he thought, slowly getting to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You girls stay back. I’ll handle them,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" Sophie called out. \"This is meant to be a team mission. You can’t just do things your way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we all come out to fight these pests, not only will it give them validation, but also waste our time,\" he stated. \"So just sit back and let me handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie pursed her lips together. ’Why did those words sound so soothing to hear?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t the only one. Even Cassie had a complicated look across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie turned to her. \"We’ll keep an eye on him. As soon as we see he’s in danger, we’re heading out. Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood,\" Cassie nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gabriel stepped out of the vehicle onto the night air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked ahead, finding about six individuals in crude, broken armor blocking their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were riding on special motorbikes and had tattoos covering most parts of their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was more—they reeked of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bandits,’ he quickly deduced just from their looks alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were pretty common out here in the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This means these guys aren’t after the crate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, the leader—who had a large tattoo covering the left side of his face and carried a massive shield—stepped forward, pointing a hand at Gabriel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey you there, let’s not make this hard for the two of us. Hand over every treasure in there, and we’ll consider sparing your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dark Flame Orb!\" Instead of replying, Gabriel activated his skill. From his fingertip, a sphere of flame exploded outward within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-23\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader escaped the orb’s trajectory, but some of his men weren’t so lucky and suffered damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard! If you want to do this the hard way, fine then!\" he spat, his face filled with irritation as he dashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving in front of Gabriel, he proceeded to bash him with the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Iron Body!’ Gabriel activated his newly acquired skill at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound similar to two metals colliding echoed. The bandit leader’s eyes flickered with confusion as he slowly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Not even a scratch!!’ His eyes widened in disbelief. He had poured his entire strength into that attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it’s my turn!\" Gabriel smirked as his fist blurred forward, making the very air ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit hurriedly brought up his shield to parry the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOOSH! BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the hit connected, he felt his left arm go numb. He staggered backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The shield!\" one of his men shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he looked at it, his heartbeat accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield was now bent—with a deep fist imprint in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wrong! This is a mistake!’ The bandit’s blood ran cold. A single punch! That was all it took for this person to destroy his prized shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Retreat! This was a mistake!\" the leader shouted, trying to get away from Gabriel as fast as he could, as if the latter was a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining five men didn’t hesitate. They jumped on their bikes and vanished into the dead of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel watched them, not even bothering to give chase. He returned to the vehicle and got in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha! I didn’t know you could be this intimidating! That bandit looked like he wanted to shit himself there for a moment,\" Victor laughed as he started the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing. I’m sure the message will reach their friends as well,\" Gabriel calmly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassie frowned. \"Was that why you left them alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Gabriel nodded. \"I want to narrow our enemies down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s actually a clever move,\" Sophie praised softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been left to her and Cassie, their goal would have been to kill off the bandits and continue uninterrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha! With that, I’m sure no one would be dumb enough to come after us,\" Victor laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had said, no bandit came after them again. The group remained on alert, expecting an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so far, they hadn’t encountered anyone else, which made them worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Victor was silent, a look of confusion shining in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. I can’t believe a day would come when I’d be worried about enemies not attacking,\" he mumbled with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden gunfire shattered the calm like a thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Down!\" Gabriel barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor instinctively slammed the brakes, swerving the vehicle into a narrow ditch beside the road for partial cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie and Cassie ducked low, already activating their skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate guns. Fucking annoying!\" Cassie cursed with intense irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel peered through the side panel, narrowing his eyes. In the distance, flashes of light flickered between the trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Gunslingers... and well-coordinated. This isn’t random. They were waiting,’ his eyes gleamed dangerously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one of the five major guilds that had the most gunslingers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. I should’ve known,\" Victor cursed under his breath. \"No bandit carries rifles that clean—this has Crimson Star written all over it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Cassie and Sophie’s expressions paled when they realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of all the people in the world, it was Crimson Star, known for its powerful gunslingers, that had decided to come for them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-06-02T11:43:43.470Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ba5a7da2418e9bc6042d8a121942872acd5b1ae894421c3733a6454081182d3","god-tier-extraction-talent-reincarnated-in-a-gam-chapter-86","god-tier-extraction-talent-reincarnated-in-a-gam-chapter-84",561,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgod-tier-extraction-talent-reincarnated-in-a-gam-cover.jpg"]
