More than ten minutes passed, but none of the racers who participated in the race had returned. Even when they saw three cars crashed, none of them cared about the safety of any of the drivers. But this also makes sense, after all, at least 90 percent of the people on the Laoshan Highway tonight were not “good” people.
Xie Feng stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance with a dazed look. It was only after ten minutes of standing in the same position that he finally moved.
Xie Feng looked to his left, then to his right, and finally behind him. Only then did he realize that he was completely alone. This didn’t mean he didn’t know it, it was just that somehow he felt comfortable in the company of the middle-aged man who had ended his life not long ago.
Without saying a word, Xie Feng walked slowly to the side of the mountain and picked up one of the cameras. Due to the electrical overload generated by Nangong Chen, the security camera in the hands of Xie Feng was almost completely destroyed.
What Nangong Chen wanted to do when he destroyed the security cameras was to make sure that he would not be recorded using his Espers powers, otherwise, it would become a worldwide scandal. But what Nangong Chen did not expect was that even such a move had already been foreseen by Xie Feng.
The sounds of footsteps echoed through the darkness, and Xie Feng returned silently to his car. After starting the engine, he left. His destination? The bottom of the cliff.
With the roar of the Ferrari moving further and further away, the place became silent again and, the only proof that something had happened, was a silver Porsche and a yellow Lamborghini.
***
After driving for five minutes, Xie Feng had finally left the mountain. As he was driving along the silent highway, he unconsciously pulled out a cigarette from his jacket and ignited it.
As the cigarette smoke entered his lungs, Xie Feng frowned and stared at the cigarette between his fingers.
Not knowing the reason, Xie Feng suddenly felt that this cigarette did not taste as good as the one he had previously smoked… Although it was a pack of cigarettes worth the salary of a normal worker.
After he put out the fire on the tip of the cigarette, he put it back in the box and kept it. He didn’t feel like smoking anymore.
Seeing that it was already past 10:30 pm, Xie Feng sent a text message to Xie Yao: “I’m fine, don’t worry. I’ll be home in one or two hours, so have your dinner with Qianxue and sleep. I love you “.
Apparently, Xie Yao was waiting for his message since it had not even been ten seconds since Xie Feng sent a text to her when the answer from her side turned up: “Don’t worry about us too, just do what you have to do. No matter what, I will always be on your side. I love you ❤ “.
From what happened at the summit of the cliff earlier, Xie Feng’s face looked quite gaunt and pale, like that of a sick person. However, when he read Xie Yao’s message, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Each day, each hour, each minute, and each second that passed, Xie Feng could feel his feelings for Xie Yao grow without the intention of stopping. How far could a man’s love for a woman reach? Xie Feng did not know.
Putting aside all negative thoughts, Xie Feng’s face finally recovered the indifference that characterized him when he was alone. His lips curved slightly upward and with a smile that was not a smile, he stepped on the pedal deeply.
The Ferrari soon became a lightning flash driving at terrifying speeds and disappeared in the middle of the dark winter night.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
In the deepest part of the cliff.
This was a place surrounded by trees, wild herbs, and all kinds of poisonous creatures. The only highway that connected this place with the outside world seemed not to have been used for a long time since even though anyone could drive on it, it was not in optimal conditions.
Added to the cold night and the wind that howled through the forest, this was undoubtedly a place that no human being would want to approach.
Two fluorescent yellow eyes that seemed to glow in the dark, looked at a person lying on the ground, apparently dead or unconscious. After observing its prey for some minutes, the hunter finally couldn’t resist the tempting smell of blood that assaulted its nostrils and finally abandoned its hiding place.
From the high grass, a snake that was more than ten meters long and thick as two arms of a grown man slithered slowly across the ground!
When it was only one meter away from the person lying on the ground, the huge snake opened its mouth wide!
However…
*Crack!*
Deep in the darkness, a deep violet lightning bolt appeared over the person’s body. The lightning shot at the serpent and when it hit, the vicious animal exploded into pieces; its flesh and blood flew everywhere!
Except for the smell of burning mixed with the smell of blood, as well as the smoke coming out of the snake’s body parts, the place was silent again.
“Ugh… Damn…”
The person on the ground was finally strong enough to move and talk after almost thirty minutes. This person was Nangong Chen, who had fallen off the cliff after being hit by Xie Feng.
If a normal person were to fall from a height of several hundred meters, there is no doubt that they would turn into meat paste when they hit the ground. However, due to his Espers powers, Nangong Chen survived.
The lightning power runs through to the body of 70% of the members in Nangong Family temple the body of all of them from the moment their power was awakened. Therefore, although Nangong Chen’s physical body was not as strong as that of a physical strength based Esper, it was undoubtedly powerful.
“Now I understand… Now I understand how that damn son of a bitch could have hurt me with the ball this afternoon”.
Since Nangong Chen was furious all day after being beaten by Xie Feng at the basketball game in the presence of the entire university, he had not thought carefully.
How could Nangong Chen with an innately superior body be so easily injured? Naturally, because Xie Feng played tricks from the shadows!
“Who would have thought that brat was really an Esper… The weird thing is that he actually blocked my attack so easily and destroyed my lightning barrier effortlessly… It is not good, I must inform my big brother about this”
Nangong Chen searched in his clothes and took out his cell phone. Unfortunately for him, the cell phone was completely destroyed; after all, there is no way such a fragile device can withstand such an impact.
With a look full of hate, Nangong Chen clenched his teeth and endured the pain as he stood up.
“Damn it… I guess I broke several ribs… My left arm also broke…”. With a look deformed by hate, Nangong Chen said: “I will definitely make that little bastard pay for it… Definitely!”
When he suffered so much pain? When was he humiliated in such a way? Never! Even his own father didn’t hit him that hard when he did things wrong. Therefore, how could Nangong Chen not hate Xie Feng to the bone marrow?
Xie Feng not only ” took” the woman he loves, Xie Feng also made him look ridiculous and became the laughing stock of the whole university. Probably now he is well known by the power figures all over Shanghai and the news has probably already reached the capital.
Moreover, he almost died at the hands of a brat who didn’t even have enough to eat when was young. Just thinking about it, Nangong Chen felt that he could die from anger at any moment.
Suddenly, Nangong Chen heard footsteps slowly approaching his position. Although there was still some distance, it was only a matter of a few minutes before the owner of the footsteps arrived at the site.
Scared and in persistent fear of Xie Feng, Nangong Chen turned around and began to walk away. However, after only one step, he could not go anymore.
Nangong Chen’s eyes opened like plates and a look of terror appeared on his face… He could not breathe! All the air in his lungs was completely emptied and he was quickly suffocating!
Nangong Chen fell to his knees and his face became red, then purple, soon his eyes began to lose focus and his body lost all strength. Only when he collapsed completely to the ground like a dead dog, did the air finally enter his lungs again.
*Huff… Huff… Huff*
Like a drug addict, Nangong Chen breathed heavily, as if fearing that the air would run out the next second.
After one or two minutes, the force returned to Nangong Chen and without delay stood up. However, he did not dare to walk… His instinct told him that if he tried to walk away again, the same thing would happen again.
“What happened? Aren’t you leaving?”
A voice sounded from behind his back, making the hairs all over his body stand up like a scared cat. Nangong Chen jumped forward to get away, but he forgot that his body was in terrible condition; with a cry of pain, he fell to the ground once again.
“Do you remember what I told you this afternoon? Come on man, where is all your courage? Weren’t you very manly a few hours ago? Weren’t you very wild? Come on, repeat those words you said on the basketball court this afternoon,” Xie Feng talked calmly as he approached step by step.
As he felt the footsteps of the demon approaching, Nangong Chen slowly turned his face and what he saw was a tall man with a black mask covering his face. Just a beautiful but terrifying pair of blue eyes exposed.
When Nangong Chen looked into those blue eyes and thought about his lack of air a moment ago, he suddenly remembered a report that he had seen on the sly when he snuck into his father’s study. His eyes shook in terror and he said stuttering:
“You… You’re the guy from two years ago… C-Classified as a danger level EX by the NSA… De-.. Demon Storm!”
Xie Feng looked at him indifferently and, in a neutral voice, said: “Good night”
Soon, the world of Nangong Chen became dark and he lost the consciousness once again.
