“Idiot, I am going to kill you! You cunning c*nt from Hua nation! I am going to kill you!” screamed Suzuki Ikuo.
“Now that I have offended the military, I can no longer go back to the yakuza! I can only do some random sh*t like selling barbequed meat on the streets, damn it! You are such an *sshole! What did I do to you to deserve this?” he ranted on.
“Xiao Han, I hope you will end up in hell!”
Suzuki Ikuo was on the verge of breaking down as he lost his temper. His face was flushed from the anger, and both Mute and Deaf had to pull him aside. He looked like he was about to beat Xiao Luo up and continued yelling at him non-stop. He was so furious he was inconsolable.
“Ah… Ah…”
“Ya… ya… ya…”
Mute and Deaf tried their best to calm him down and even attempted to drown out his ranting by raising their voices.
“Idiots! Whose side are you guys on? Why are you guys stopping me? Can you stay calm if you were the victim? *ssholes, stop holding me back! Let me go! Do you hear me?” Suzuki Ikuo scowled, angrily trying to break free from Mute and Deaf’s hold.
His efforts paid off as he managed to break free from them. It was probably because Mute and Deaf were both tired and had run out of stamina.
However, the moment he broke free, the atmosphere suddenly became dense and suffocating. Suzuki Ikuo gulped with much difficulty and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly turned around and raised his arms toward Mute and Deaf. “F*ck, hurry, hold me back!” he cried.
“Ah?”
Mute’s face registered a look of puzzlement. He did not understand what Suzuki Ikuo was trying to ask of them.
Deaf was also dumbfounded and scratched the back of his head, confused about Suzuki Ikuo’s true intention. He had scolded them for stopping him earlier on, so why the sudden change of heart?
Suzuki Ikuo turned around promptly and gave them both a knock on their heads. “You silly fools! Are you guys stupid? Do you think that I am going to beat him up? I was only pretending to vent my anger,” he snarled.
“Ah…” Mute grunted, looking a little despondent.
“You donkey, hold me back!”
Suzuki Ikuo slapped Mute’s head again.
Unwillingly, both Mute and Deaf pretended to pull their leader back as he continued to yell at Xiao Luo. Suzuki Ikuo played his part and even said, “Come here if you have got the b*lls. I am going to beat the hell out of you!” That shocked Mute who was worried that Xiao Luo might retaliate.
“Mie, where did you find these people of Ri nation?” Fu Yiren asked Xiao Luo at the front of the train.
“I didn’t ask them to come, but they chose to follow,” Xiao Luo replied.
“Really? They are an interesting bunch of people,” Fu Yiren commented and chuckled.
When she finished speaking, she gazed at Xiao Luo without saying a word.
Xiao Luo began to feel awkward with her intense stare and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”
Fu Yiren smiled affectionately and threw the question back at him. “Well, Mie, do you not see the fiery love in my eyes?” she quipped.
Xiao Luo knew she was up to her nonsense again and ignored what she was saying.
“Whenever I see you, all I can feel is joy and happiness. Do you not have the same feeling for me at all?” Fu Yiren asked coyly.
“No,” Xiao Luo replied coldly and swiftly.
Fu Yiren was unfazed, and she persisted with her flirting. “It is common that falling for someone would make one think of that person all the time. Nothing fills my heart but you. Everybody can see that easily. I cannot hide my love for you anymore…”
“Okay, we’ve arrived at the exit!” Xiao Luo cut her off abruptly.
“Humph, you dense blockhead,” she muttered as Xiao Luo walked ahead.
Fu Yiren sighed as she glared at Xiao Luo’s back.
The train had gradually stopped as they arrived at the entrance of the villa. It was well lit and the heavy steel gate was securely shut. The communication link between the facility and the villa was monitored on a twenty-four-hour basis. They would have communicated everything that had happened there to the guards at the villa.
“We are dead meat… they will trap us here forever!”
Suzuki Ikuo looked full of despair and said, “I wasn’t expecting a dead-end after all we’d been through.”
“Ah…”
“Ya… ya…”
His low morale affected both Mute and Deaf, and they looked dejected.
“Who said it’s a dead-end?” said Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo stared at Suzuki Ikuo and walked out. He put his palm on the steel gate that must have been at least ten centimeters thick.
“Aren’t we stuck in a dead-end now? This steel gate is at least twenty tons in weight, and at least one meter is embedded into that rock wall. Regardless of how powerful you are, you could not possibly…”
Before Suzuki Ikuo could finish his sentence, Xiao Luo channeled his inner power through his right palm and a tsunami-like palm force surged out. The twenty-ton steel gate collapsed, even though it was embedded deep into the mountain wall. A loud bang followed as the gate hit the ground, shaking the earth and creating a storm of sand and dust.
With an unobstructed view of the stone stairs before them, Suzuki Ikuo, Mute, and Deaf dropped their jaws in a stupor. If gods and demons existed in this world, then Xiao Luo would be on the same level as these mythical beings. His power was unfathomable and terrifying. How could such a powerful being exist in this mortal world? It is unthinkable that a mere mortal could wield such divine-like power!
“Did you say it was at least twenty tons heavy? Huh!”
Fu Yiren mocked as she passed the men and then followed Xiao Luo up the stone stairs. They walked up cautiously, step by step.
The moment they reached the top, red laser dots from countless weapons were aimed at them. Before Xiao Luo could react, the leader shouted out from inside the villa.
“Put down your weapons! Put down your weapons!”
The leader rushed out and yelled at his subordinates, “Listen to me! You can’t hurt them even with machine guns. Hold your fire if you want your lives.”
“Shut up, you traitor! Are you in league with these spies who had broken into our base?” another leader roared.
“Idiot! What are you saying? I am doing this to save everyone’s lives. There’s no point in suffering any more meaningless casualties,” argued the first leader.
“What are you saying? Haha…” the second leader scorned.
He smirked and rallied the soldiers. “Don’t listen to him! He is nothing but a traitor! He has been colluding with the spies from the Hua nation! Fire! Kill them all!! Do your part and serve with honor!”
Just as he finished speaking, Fu Yiren teleported right before them like a spirit and smiled. Her charm captured everyone’s attention, and her sudden appearance puzzled them.
“Have you ever felt being corroded alive while being fully conscious? It seems like none of you can relate to what I am saying. Let me walk you through it personally!” said Fu Yiren as she chuckled and swayed her palm, discharging poisonous fumes toward the squad of guards.
Within the next few seconds, the guards started screaming and were thrown into pandemonium. They dropped their weapons and started scratching their bodies. It only took a light scratch and their skins peeled off, exposing bloody wounds that immediately festered and leaked pus. They were burning up from within as white gas emitted from their bodies and escaped into the air.
“Arrgh… Arrgh… Arrgh…”
It was unbearably itchy and painful, and it horrified the soldiers when they saw their bodies melting away. The scratching made matters worse as large areas of skin were exposed, and gradually these soldiers turned into bloody skinless corpses. They screamed from the excruciating pain, and even as their souls struggled to leave, their bodies refused to give up and they suffered a cruel death.
