Wu Qin, naturally, was not to be outdone.
In his subconscious, everything in the Divine Kingdom belonged to the Wu family, including people like Number Three.
"Watch your tone. If our Wu family hadn't taken pity on you, would you have had the chance to grow to this point?" Wu Qin scoffed.
"I told you to act, so act."
"Less nonsense!"
Number Three's smile grew colder. He said to Wu Qin, "Wu Qin, you keep calling me your Wu family's lackey. Do you dare say those words in front of your father?"
Wu Qin remained defiant, "Even if my grandfather were standing here, I'd dare to say it."
As he spoke,
He pulled a handgun from his waist, pressing the muzzle directly to Number Three's temple, and said coldly, "A dog should know its place. Do as I say, and only as I say. You'd better be obedient, or I'll blow your brains out right now."
From a distance, Robinson Ross felt a surge of relief. It seemed he had a chance to live.
He said to Chen Jinzhao, "Candle Dragon, you can see the situation clearly now. I beg you to spare my life. I promise never to set foot in China again. The ten billion US dollars I promised is still valid. I hope you'll consider it seriously."
"No need to consider," Chen Jinzhao replied.
Robinson Ross felt Chen Jinzhao's foot lift off him, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
He had survived.
"Candle Dragon, thank you," Robinson Ross said sincerely.
Chen Jinzhao replied indifferently, "You're welcome."
As he spoke,
Chen Jinzhao's foot came down again, crushing Robinson Ross's chest and shattering his heart.
Robinson Ross looked at Chen Jinzhao in disbelief. He never imagined that Chen Jinzhao would kill him after all, giving him no chance at all.
"You..."
"You are inherently savage and cruel. You will surely end up like me."
"I'll wait for you on the road..."
With these words, Robinson Ross died completely.
Seeing this, Wu Qin's scalp tingled. He deeply realized that Chen Jinzhao was a formidable opponent and again ordered Number Three to kill Chen Jinzhao. However, Number Three remained frozen in place, like a statue.
"Number Three, are you trying to rebel?" Wu Qin roared.
A gentle smile appeared on Number Three's stern face. "Rebel? How could I possibly rebel? I am loyal to the Divine Kingdom, with no second thoughts."
"Good, then kill Chen Jinzhao right now," Wu Qin yelled.
Number Three still made no move. "However, I've always disliked having a gun pointed at my head. And I am an upright person, not your Wu family's lackey. Take your gun away from my head."
He said this in a commanding tone.
Wu Qin was furious, gradually realizing that Number Three was out of control. He could only suppress his anger and move the gun away from Number Three's temple.
"Fine, I agree."
"Then now, can you act?"
Number Three's lips curved into a smile. "Of course."
Wu Qin breathed a sigh of relief, only to have his hair stand on end the next moment, as he was enveloped by Number Three's chilling aura.
A murderous intent flared in Number Three's eyes, and even though it was fleeting, Wu Qin caught it.
"What do you want to do?!" Wu Qin asked in terror.
Number Three grinned, "Since you already know my intentions, I can't let you live. Young Master Wu, please go on your way."
Wu Qin's hair stood on end. He immediately turned to Xu Jinsong for help, "Number Four, save me!"
Xu Jinsong remained deaf to his pleas, standing with his arms crossed, unmoving.
In his haste, Wu Qin had to draw his gun again, but Number Three was clearly faster. Before Wu Qin could aim, Number Three's palm landed on Wu Qin's head!
Bang!
The slap was powerful, shattering Wu Qin's brain on the spot.
To outsiders, Wu Qin bled from all seven orifices, looking at Number Three, who had struck him, with disbelief. He could feel his life force rapidly draining away and used his last bit of strength to ask, "Why, why did you kill me?"
"Flies buzzing in my ear too often can be annoying. Be mindful of that in your next life," Number Three's tone was as calm as a still well, without the slightest ripple, as if he had just swatted a fly.
Wu Qin wanted to say more, but blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth.
Seeing this, Number Three tossed his body aside. This scene caused everyone else to feel a sense of dread towards Number Three.
What a vicious heart!
Xu Jinsong waited until Wu Qin was completely dead before approaching Number Three and saying, "You killed him. How will we explain this to the boss?"
The boss they were referring toβ
Specifically, Wu Zhongjun and Wu Qin's father, Wu Hongbo, who was also one of the main leaders of the Divine Kingdom laboratory.
Number Three chuckled lightly, "Wu Qin tragically sacrificed himself while trying to prevent Chen Jinzhao from destroying the laboratory's data. He died valiantly."
With these words, he set the narrative for Wu Qin's death.
Hearing this, Xu Jinsong said no more.
Meanwhile.
Chen Jinzhao had dealt with Robinson Ross. When he saw Number Three kill Wu Qin, he also sensed that Number Three was ruthless and a difficult enemy to handle.
Number Three sensed Chen Jinzhao's gaze and responded with a faint smile, "Candle Dragon, are you satisfied with the way Wu Qin died?"
"Not satisfied," Chen Jinzhao shook his head directly.
"I actually wish Wu Qin had died by my hand. Pity you got to him first."
Number Three burst into laughter, full of admiration for Chen Jinzhao's character.
He wondered if, had their factions not been opposed, they might have become brothers who lived and died together.
"Indeed, I should have let you handle it, so as not to dirty my hands," Number Three chuckled.
As he spoke, he walked up to Chen Jinzhao and waved away the remaining A-class members. He intended to deal with Chen Jinzhao personally.
The area was cleared again, leaving only the two of them.
Number Three glanced at Chen Jinzhao's injuries. "You're not lightly wounded. Even if I win, it won't be a fair victory. But I have a mission to complete, and I must kill you. Honestly, against you at full strength, I have no chance of winning. Only if Number One himself were here could you be killed."
"Do you have any last words? I can ask Number Four to help you fulfill your unfulfilled wishes and take care of the people you care about."
Chen Jinzhao felt somewhat unaccustomed to facing Number Three. This man was truly unpredictable, sometimes cunning and treacherous, and sometimes loyal and righteous.
He was unfathomable.
Chen Jinzhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then fixed his gaze on Xu Jinsong not far away, and suddenly laughed.
"Number Three is no match for me. You'll need to attack together to have any chance of defeating me."
"Even if I'm heavily injured, even if I have only one hand left, I am still invincible above and below the heavens!"
