Zhan Tai Li Ya's words struck fear into the man's heart. He knew she wasn't just making threats; to her, he was merely a plaything, one she could destroy at any moment with countless horrifying methods.
"Sis, don't worry, I'm still capable..."
The man began, though his state was undeniably diminished. Zhan Tai Li Ya showed no mercy; if he wasn't capable, she'd keep at it until he was.
Under her goading, the man's state gradually revived. Zhan Tai had no intention of stopping. With a turn, she took the lead, her pace quickening. Initially, she felt a sense of fullness, but it soon became hollow.
She was displeased, slapping the man's cheeks hard. "Damn it, I paid so much money, and you're this useless? Hurry up..."
But the man was already foaming at the mouth, his pupils beginning to dilate. Zhan Tai Li Ya, annoyed, hit him again and stood up. "What rotten luck."
The man still had a faint breath. If he received prompt medical attention, his life should be out of danger. However, Zhan Tai Li Ya offered no assistance, her gaze towards him utterly cold.
The man strained to lift his hand, his mouth opening in a soundless cry. His eyes pleaded with Zhan Tai Li Ya, and finally... with his last ounce of defiance, he shed a tear and passed away. Only then did he truly understand the fate of the previous seniors who had vanished – this was their end. It was a pity that realizing this now was too late.
Zhan Tai Li Ya didn't look at the man on the bed. She dressed, made a phone call, and left. Her affairs would be handled by others. Her calm demeanor in the face of such an event suggested she had been through much, otherwise, she wouldn't be so devoid of humanity.
Meanwhile, everything that had transpired within the room was meticulously recorded by hidden pinhole cameras. This footage then fell into the hands of a mysterious man with a grotesque face and scarred features.
Looking at the footage in his hand, the man broke into a sinister smile. "Ten years of enduring, and I finally have it. Zhan Tai Li Ya, I will make sure you die without a burial place."
The man made two copies of the video and, gathering his belongings, hastily left his residence. Ten years ago, he had nearly been killed by Zhan Tai Li Ya, left disfigured and discarded. Fortunately, fate had been kind, allowing him to reclaim his life. Thus, he sought revenge, a wait that had lasted a decade.
However, the man did not take the footage to the police. He knew it would be useless, perhaps even implicating himself further. Over the past ten years, besides waiting for an opportunity, he had also managed to uncover a considerable amount about Zhan Tai Li Ya. Though the grievances weren't entirely clear, they were undeniably present.
"I hope your families are formidable enough."
After delivering the two copies of the footage to Li Yu Lin and Chen Jun Lin, the man vanished into the vast expanse of people.
On the other side, at Li Hao Chen's residence, the conflict had escalated to a fever pitch. Both sides had sustained casualties, with the Archangel's side holding a distinct advantage.
Alice and Huang Yan Rong huddled together, their clothes in tatters, their proud figures exposed. Yet, they paid it no mind. Black Gale, however, was different. He leered and chuckled, "Tsk tsk tsk, so tender. If you two just surrendered to me, I guarantee you a life of luxury. Why not give up resisting and come with me, hehe!"
"Spit! I'd rather be fucked by a dog than have anything to do with you, you demon."
"I just love this feisty attitude. Once I subdue you, hehe..."
"Die..."
Huang Yan Rong flung a throwing knife, followed by another. They flew like letters, with great momentum.
Black Gale faced them fearlessly, his movements steady. Just as the knives reached him, a shadow flickered, and with two metallic clangs, the throwing knives fell to the ground.
The instant Black Gale effortlessly deflected the knives, Huang Yan Rong lunged, attacking his lower body with a "Moon Grasp" move. But Black Gale had anticipated this, sinking his left knee to block her sneak attack.
As she attempted another assault, her wrist was firmly gripped by Black Gale. "Trying to leave? Just let me have my fun, hahaha!"
"Flat chested!"
In a flash, Huang Yan Rong was captured. Alice, in her desperation, was about to raise her twin swords to rescue her, but Black Gale's action froze her; she dared not take the risk.
"Black Gale, let her go. I'll take her place."
The Black man grinned, licking Huang Yan Rong's face with his tongue. "Let her go? No, no, no... it was too difficult to capture her to just let her go. Wait a moment, it'll be your turn soon, hehe!"
Black Gale’s hand formed a claw, tightening its grip on Huang Yan Rong’s neck, while his other hand cupped her chest. He continued to cackle lewdly.
Li Hao Chen and Murong Yan Ran above them clenched their fists, wanting to help but utterly helpless, the feeling of powerlessness filling them with despair.
Huang Yan Rong endured Black Gale's fondling, then suddenly smiled, shouting to Alice, "In the next life, I'll be your man."
With that, her body twisted, her hands gripping Black Gale's arms tightly. "You enjoyed touching, didn't you!"
"Let go, let go quickly..."
Black Gale felt a dangerous aura emanating from Huang Yan Rong, his brain freezing. He frantically kicked and beat her body, but he couldn't break free.
"Goodbye, Alice..."
"Boom~"
A powerful energy surged from Huang Yan Rong's body, followed by a massive explosion that enveloped the entire hall in dust.
"Ah... Flat chested!"
The commotion also drew the Archangel's attention from her distant battle. She squinted, glancing over, a premonition of dread washing over her. With a single blow, she repelled the battered Hao Jin and sprinted over, "Black Gale..."
As the dust settled, only Huang Yan Rong's tattered body and Black Gale's dismembered limbs were revealed. He was severely wounded in the abdomen, but remarkably, he was still alive after enduring such a powerful blast.
"La... Lao... Boss, take... me..."
"Flat chested, ah..."
Alice's eyes turned crimson. She swung her twin swords defiantly towards the Archangel. Simultaneously, Hao Jin and his companions did the same. Their reckless fighting style put some pressure on the Archangel. Just then, a small team of heavily wounded warriors burst through the main gate.
They were undoubtedly from the Wang family. The Archangel's heart sank. As she defended herself, she retreated, contemplating withdrawal. Who knew how many more would arrive? If this continued, escaping would become impossible.
A few minutes later, the Archangel sustained more injuries. While not fatal, they affected her combat prowess. Alice and the others, though severely wounded, were numerous. This suicidal fighting method was the most deadly.
The Archangel suddenly kicked Alice and the others away with a horizontal sweep, then leaped in front of her. Her demeanor changed to one of affection. "Black Gale, help me escape..."
