NOVPUBOriginally, Wu Bin thought he was saved, but the moment he saw Xu Wenyao, his heart immediately sank.
What use is this old guy showing up?
This woman kills without as much as batting an eyelid!
Seeing Xu Wenyao step out from the shadows, Mino frowned, a chill running through her heart.
With her vigilance, she hadn’t even noticed Xu Wenyao’s presence before he spoke!
Could it be that Xu Wenyao is an expert?
Xu Wenyao first glanced at the body of the psychopathic murderer, then turned his gaze to the fruit knife in Mino’s hand.
"Put the knife down, my student, and let’s talk things over," he said.
No sooner had Xu Wenyao finished speaking than Mino stomped on the ground with her right foot and charged at Xu Wenyao with incredible speed!
So fast!
Wu Bin’s eyes widened.
He had thought his record-breaking sprint was fast.
But witnessing Mino attack Xu Wenyao, Wu Bin realized what truly lightning-fast meant!
Wu Bin could barely keep up with Mino’s movements, but how Mino’s right hand deployed the knife and executed the moves, Wu Bin couldn’t see clearly at all.
Just as Wu Bin thought Xu Wenyao was certainly a goner, he saw Xu Wenyao’s left hand land precisely on Mino’s wrist, smoothly deflecting the fruit knife.
Before Mino could react, Xu Wenyao countered by grabbing her wrist with his left hand and forcefully pulling downward.
Mino was shocked.
Enduring the pain that shot through her wrist, she forcefully broke free from Xu Wenyao’s grasp!
Crack!
A bone-breaking sound came from Mino’s wrist.
In just that brief exchange, Xu Wenyao had actually broken Mino’s right wrist!
Wu Bin sat paralyzed nearby, dumbfounded.
He even thought he was so weak that he was hallucinating.
Was this old guy, Xu Wenyao, also not an ordinary person?
Covering her trembling right hand, Mino said in a deep voice, "Golden Snake Wrapping Silk Hand."
"I didn’t expect that the principal of the Agricultural University would be a mid-level Martial Artist." 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Xu Wenyao looked at her indifferently and said, "You’ve committed a crime in our university, you ought to give us an explanation, shouldn’t you?"
"Give up. I will hand you over to The Ninth Research Institute. They won’t hurt you."
Mino sneered.
"Hand me over to The Ninth Research Institute? I’d rather die."
As she spoke, she retreated, trying to keep distance from Xu Wenyao.
After checking for a safe escape route, Mino turned and ran without looking back.
With her abilities, confronting a mid-level Martial Artist was still too much for her.
Rather than dying in vain under Xu Wenyao’s hand, it was better to flee and settle accounts with Xu Wenyao later.
"Principal Xu, aren’t you going to chase?"
Seeing that Xu Wenyao had no intention of pursuing, Wu Bin was somewhat confused.
Just a moment ago, his aura was formidable, as if he was ready to devour Mino whole.
Why wasn’t he chasing now?
As if guessing what Wu Bin was thinking, Xu Wenyao scratched his head and said, "No need to chase, others will handle her. Our immediate priority is to rescue people."
Right after Xu Wenyao finished speaking, several doctors from The Ninth Research Institute arrived in time.
After examining the condition of the two people lying on the ground, they quickly came to a conclusion.
"The man is dead, his life force and blood completely drained. He’s now just a dried corpse."
"The girl still has a faint heartbeat and breathing. All we can do is try to save her and hope for the best."
"Trouble," said Xu Wenyao.
It was evident that Xu Wenyao still cared deeply about the students of the Agricultural University.
While the doctors were doing their best to save the girl, Xu Wenyao stood by her side, as if to protect and escort her.
"Zhao Xiaoru."
Xu Wenyao suddenly spoke.
Wu Bin was taken aback and didn’t catch on immediately.
"President, what did you say?"
Xu Wenyao sighed and said, "I said her name is Zhao Xiaoru. She’s from your Finance College, had good grades, and was quite an enthusiastic and lively person. What a pity."
Wu Bin was puzzled. Had Xu Wenyao sensed something?
This thought had just flashed through his mind.
The doctor in charge of the rescue shook his head, indicating that they had done all they could.
In front of Wu Bin, Zhao Xiaoru was covered with a white cloth and loaded onto the ambulance.
…
Back door of the Agricultural University, barbecue stall.
Wu Bin sat alone on the chair, with a big plate of barbecue and various grilled lamb ribs in front of him.
The death of Zhao Xiaoru had a great impact on Wu Bin.
Wu Bin didn’t know what was wrong with himself; he just felt inexplicably bad.
It was at this moment that Nightingale, clad in a leather jacket, uninvitedly took a seat opposite Wu Bin.
"Have you clashed with the people from the Secret District?"
Wu Bin looked at Nightingale with confusion.
"What Secret District?"
Nightingale said indifferently, "Like our Ninth Institute, it’s a department that deals with special affairs, only they are under the jurisdiction of Mino, and they have been our long-time rivals."
As Nightingale spoke, she tossed a file in front of Wu Bin.
"This is Mino’s information, a hunting-type Supernatural Being."
"According to our intelligence, her target this time in Dragon Country wasn’t you at all."
"It’s just that your performance at the sports meet was too ostentatious, which caught Mino’s attention, so she planned to eliminate you on the spot."
After Nightingale explained in detail, Wu Bin finally realized what he had done wrong.
According to Nightingale, both Supernatural Beings and Martial Artists existed not only in Dragon Country.
Therefore, to avoid mismanagement, leaders from various countries gathered together and signed the "New World" treaty.
According to the treaty, the whole world is divided into three realms: the Secular World, the Supernatural World, and the Grey Realm.
The Secular World is easy to understand; it’s the world where ordinary people live, governed by secular laws of different countries.
The Supernatural World refers to a world subdivided from the Secular World, inhabited collectively by Supernatural Beings or Martial Artists, primarily to differentiate them from ordinary people.
The most mysterious is the Grey Realm.
It is a domain that humans cannot set foot in, still unexplored, extremely dangerous, and mysterious.
Nightingale patiently explained, "The Supernatural World has its own rules. The conflicts between Martial Artists and Technicians from different countries should try not to affect civilians. Otherwise, if the monitoring team finds out, nobody can escape the consequences."
"And the rules of the Supernatural World are simple, just four words—survival of the fittest."
Nightingale looked at Wu Bin with interest.
"For many Supernatural Beings, as long as they don’t affect ordinary people, they are not bound by secular laws."
"Just like the attack on you by Mino just now."
"If President Xu hadn’t arrived in time, Mino could have killed you outright."
Wu Bin understood.
He had thought that having an official position meant having a secure job.
Only now did Wu Bin realize how dangerous it was to be an official member of the Ninth Institute!
According to Nightingale, even if Mino had actually killed him, the people of the Ninth Institute would have acted as if nothing had happened.
Because murder is a crime, that’s the law of the Secular World, and it doesn’t govern their special group.
