"What! You killed them all? Don't tell me, don't tell me you're that man with the ghost mask?"
The flat-haired strong man stared at Chu Lingtian with a look of terror, his voice trembling as he asked.
Whoosh!
Chu Lingtian said nothing, his eyes turning cold. He grabbed the flat-haired strong man by the neck with his right hand.
*Crack!*
The flat-haired strong man's neck was snapped by Chu Lingtian.
Seeing this, Bai Mei and her two trusted female bodyguards were so terrified that their faces turned ashen, their eyes wide with disbelief.
The four bodyguards who had followed the flat-haired strong man were also shocked, their eyes bulging.
No one had expected that Chu Lingtian, who appeared so gentle and harmless, could kill so decisively and without batting an eyelid.
*Rattle!*
Suddenly, the four bodyguards, snapping back to reality, drew the pistols from their backs, preparing to shoot Chu Lingtian dead.
Chu Lingtian was swift. He grabbed the wrist of one of the bodyguards holding a gun with his right hand and flashed behind him.
*Bang, bang, bang...*
The bullets fired by the other three bodyguards all hit the bodyguard whose wrist Chu Lingtian was holding. They ended up killing their own man on the spot.
Immediately after, three more shots rang out. The remaining three bodyguards were all shot in the head and killed by Chu Lingtian using their own bullets.
It wasn't until Chu Lingtian dropped the gun that Bai Mei and her two trusted close female bodyguards finally came back to their senses.
Bai Mei looked at Chu Lingtian and asked softly, "Are you, are you really the ghost-masked man who has been killing members of the four great families these past few days?"
"Mhm!"
Chu Lingtian nodded.
Then, Chu Lingtian told Bai Mei that he was Chu Feng, the sole survivor of the Chu family, and that he had been ordered to return to the mortal world to bring order to the underground forces of the entire country.
Before this, Chu Lingtian had already decided to tell Bai Mei these things. This was because he planned to use Bai Mei's help to gradually reorganize the underground forces of Long Country. Therefore, the two of them would inevitably be deeply intertwined and would have to spend a long time together.
Thus, informing Bai Mei of these matters was also very necessary, lest she feel confused by some of his subsequent orders.
"Then, your true identity now is..."
Bai Mei never expected that the man she had taken a liking to and wanted to rely on had such an unexpected side to him.
Chu Lingtian smiled calmly and said, "I am the captain of the Dragon Country's strongest army, the Wolf Warriors Commando, known as the 'Death Wolf King'."
"You, you are the Death Wolf King?"
"Heavens, I, I actually met our Dragon Country's strongest man..."
The two beautiful trusted female bodyguards exclaimed in unison, their eyes fixed on Chu Lingtian, their gazes filled with infinite adoration and admiration.
Bai Mei was so happy that she threw herself into Chu Lingtian's arms, holding him tightly as if afraid he would escape.
All along, Bai Mei had only thought of Chu Lingtian as a man who had served in the army for a few years and possessed exceptional fighting skills. She and her Red Flower Society needed such a powerful fighter for protection.
But Bai Mei had never dreamed that Chu Lingtian was not just powerful in combat. This man was actually the captain of the Dragon Country's strongest unit, the Wolf Warriors Commando, a legendary figure hailed as the "Death Wolf King" by countless powerful individuals.
"Don't be too happy too soon. Over the years, I have killed countless enemies while protecting my country. At the same time, I have made many enemies, and I also bear the blood feud of my family. Dangers to my life will be everywhere. As long as you are with me for one day, your life will be in danger for one more day. You need to think carefully."
Chu Lingtian smiled and said to Bai Mei.
This was one of the reasons why Chu Lingtian told Bai Mei these things. If Bai Mei got scared and left now, it would still be in time for him to find someone else.
But once they officially started the plan and embarked on the path of sweeping through the entire underground world of Long Country, there would be no turning back. They could only see it through to the end, living or dying together.
This was the principle of "once you enter the martial world, it's deeper than the sea; there's no turning back, and no way to retreat."
"I do indeed want to rely on your strength, but I swear, Bai Mei will be yours in life and your ghost in death. We will share joys and sorrows, and face life and death together!" Bai Mei's eyes were filled with determination, and her expression was extremely serious and sincere. After saying this, she tiptoed, parted her red lips, and whispered seductively into Chu Lingtian's ear:
"I'm so hooked on you now that I can't leave you. What will I do without you in the future? I'd rather be dead than alive, so you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime."
Chu Lingtian put his left arm around Bai Mei's slender waist. He appreciated the honesty of this female boss in the first half of her statement, and he also liked her flirtatious charm.
"Wait, wait a moment, let's go to the bedroom upstairs..."
Bai Mei's pretty face blushed deeply. She hinted to Chu Lingtian that her two trusted female bodyguards were standing nearby and watching.
Chu Lingtian gave a roguish smile and, holding Bai Mei, headed towards the bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
"You two quickly call someone to clean up the bodies of these four people, and then continue to guard the door."
Bai Mei quickly turned and instructed her two trusted female bodyguards.
"Yes!"
The two trusted female bodyguards nodded in response, thinking shyly in their hearts, Chu Lingtian's prowess in that department was too formidable. Repeated battles, was this even human?
After one more round, Bai Mei was truly exhausted. She lay in Chu Lingtian's arms and fell asleep directly.
At this time, the four great families all received news that the flat-haired strong man and his four gunmen bodyguards had suddenly disappeared.
This immediately shocked and enraged the four great families. This was because the flat-haired strong man and his men were representing them, informing and ordering all major and minor forces in Dachang City's underworld to help them find the man with the ghost mask as soon as possible.
Moreover, the patriarchs of the four great families had all stated that if any force dared to disobey the order, they would be annihilated.
This was also a way to display the formidable strength of the four great families to everyone, so that no one would think that now that someone dared to openly challenge the four great families, the four great families were helpless and could only be slaughtered at will.
But now, the flat-haired strong man and his four subordinates had vanished into thin air. This indicated that someone not only dared to disobey the orders of the four great families but also dared to kill the messengers sent by the four great families.
The four great families, utterly enraged, immediately dispatched a large number of elite gunmen bodyguards. They scoured all the major and minor forces in Dachang City overnight. Any force that did not cooperate with the search or appeared suspicious was simply massacred.
Soon, nearly a hundred elite gunmen bodyguards from the four great families surrounded Chu Lingtian and Bai Mei, who were sleeping in the villa.
