"You know that man?!"As they walked on the hallway, Chou Wen's eyes widened while he gazed at the girl beside him. Instead of replying to him, she maintained her frown for a while until she spoke, "We just met at the roadside in the middle of nowhere. Back then, he seemed to be chased by some armed thugs. I helped him and that's all I know. The Red Flash, Long He saw him too."Failing, Chou Wen continued, "So you didn't know that he's the suspect in our case, the recent Super Villain?"With her vein bulging, Wang Mei replied, "If I knew, I wouldn't let him go, would I?""That's true…" turning his eyes away, he asked, "So, why do you want to go and ask manager Kim to have a talk with him?""Because I hope I could try to persuade him to help us…" uttered Wang Mei doubtfully. She even said that they were just strangers, so her talking to him wouldn't matter at all. However, she still wanted to try, "Besides, he's just one of the Super Villains we caught. Since the manager Kim and Captai
"We have met before." pointed Yunzheng as he raised his eyebrows, "Back then, you tried to help me with those thugs. Though it was unnecessary, I appreciate your help."Nodding her head, she said, "I don't know that you have power before, I apologize for being busybody." parting her bangs, she continued, "I'll get straight to the point, mister Tan. You are under arrest because of your involvement in destroying others properties, murder, and robbery.""It seems so." uttered Yunzheng without even trying to deny the accusation, "So, what now?""You can help us and we can help you. I propose a trade."His interest piqued, he said, "Go on…""We want information, mister Tan, and perhaps I could try to convince my superiors-""Convince?" frowning, Yunzheng shook his head, "If you cannot uphold something that you cannot give, then forget it.""But-""However, I will propose something else." looking at the girl, he spoke, "I would say anything you guys wanted in exchange for my and my companio
"Knowledge?" furrowing, Yunzheng probed, "What do you mean?""Just like what I've said. But of course, I would give more than just one month of freedom. I will give you resources, clean your criminal record, payment, and more. "Hearing the conditions, Yunzheng became more concerned. "I want you to teach us the way to cultivate."His ominous feeling took form when those words fell. Subconsciously, Yunzheng's gaze became colder and there was even a trace of killing intent within. It wasn't known if Kim YoSoo noticed the change, however, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Do you know how I know this? Well, we have inspected your equipment, especially your pills, and I have to say, the effect is quite… extraordinary."Yunzheng snorted at those statements. The thief saw his products and wanted for more. If not for these shackles, perhaps he already rushed to kick the man's face. Still, Yunzheng wanted to humor the man's words and spoke sarcastically, "And why do you think I would
When Wang Mei walked to the lift that led her to Kim YoSoo's office, she couldn't help but frown and wondered what kind of matter it would be since usually, Chou Wen would be the chosen one to attend the briefings. Finally, she got there and greeted An Shen who said, "They are already waiting for you inside."The word 'they' caused Wang Mei to raise her eyebrows before she excused herself. She knocked a few times until there was a reply. When she turned the doorknob and was about to enter, she noticed a man's face who made her rooted on the spot. "It's you!" subconsciously, she cried out as her eyes widened. As the people in the room heard her voice, they directed their attention to her, especially the man who simply smiled at her bewildered look. "We meet again, miss Wang Mei." Yunzheng said his clothes were different from the white long sleeved ones that he wore in his confinement. This time, he wore a blue polo and long black pants, along with a red jacket. "No need to be alarm
A scorching pain followed him in every step he took. His ragged breath formed into icy mist and his body shriveled at the faintest breeze. Strength leaving him as time passed and the roaring of his stomach was what echoed the most throughout the road. He had lost the sensation of his legs for a while. Even maintaining his open eyes gave him an effort he never knew existed. The only fuel that prompted him forward was the faces of his family back home. One and only wish he held dear, to come back and to not become a cold corpse in a foreign land he never heard of. When he rubbed his hand to seek for the slightest warmth, he saw the frostbite fingers.he wanted to chuckle but instead turned into a soft whimper that escaped his lips. Despite this, he trod forward. Never looking back. Minutes stretched into eternity and his own flesh felt more of irons and steel to shackle him to the ground. For who knows how long, his feet hit a rough staircase and the big wooden door with a board on t
"So, we have our own positions and since your ability suits you in the front line, I will suggest for you to think twice before rushing in and being reckless. This is the map of the place that the association had gotten for us. This would be a nice, quick, and smooth operation, so mistakes wouldn't be acceptable."The more he heard the man called Chou Wen rambling on, the more Yunzheng couldn't help but to raise his eyebrows in amusement. It was as obvious as the day that this new colleague of his was trying to show his dominance in seniority. Strangely, he tried to focus his attention to Yunzheng but there were instances when the man would secretly take a peek at Wang Mei who was sitting quietly at the corner, watching the passing scenery in the window. Gilbert, who was sitting one his side, was gazing at Chou Wen too, seemingly as aware as Yunzheng was. Even Wang Mei herself didn't spare a glance at the man, pretending to not care or hear anything. Only Lavda was still looking arou
As his sword swiftly cleaved through the mobs, a gigantic statue was thrown to him, prompting him to execute his movement technique and avoiding it entirely. The ground shook and the statue crushed some of the mobs. Emerging from the cloud of dust were a few guardians, suffering no injuries except some tears on their clothes. A loud snort echoed throughout the vast courtyard and a giant shadow loomed over the battlefield. At the same time, hundreds of clones with the same face were shooting back bullets towards the guardians, as if they were facing an army instead of a criminal organization."It's an A rank, duplication skill, Xen Wu. Find his real body and kill him!"A guardian shouted out as he conjured a transparent wall, making the bullets passing through them to become as slow as snails. Meanwhile, another Guardian rushed forward, both of his hands morphed into one and half meters steel claws and sliced through the clones and the bullets. Giant vines and branches sprouting out
When Wang Mei and the rest finally arrived inside the mansion, some of them widened their eyes at the big pool of blood and guts decorating the place. One of them even murmured the word crazy and truthfully, Wang Mei had to agree. They were supposed to capture these criminals, no matter how heinous their actions were. Yet, one person turned this battlefield into a bloodbath. The scene was disheartening to see. Rumors of Yunzheng's ability or martial arts were heavily linked into something like a vampire or Dracula spread around, especially when there was a strange corpse of a super in the courtyard. Wang Mei commented nothing on the matter and kept marching on. There would be a group of people that would deal with this mess or aftermath. "Wait, there's a kid!"That shout caught half of the guardians attention as they approached to see the situation. A little girl, who seemed to not be older than sixteen, was lying on the ground in a ball. Clutching her stomach as she closed her eye
