The howling wind whistled past He Ao’s ears.
He Ao didn’t really understand why Selena was driving so fast without the top up.
Maybe that’s just the joy of sports cars.
He Ao only felt a bit carsick.
In the midst of this crazy sprint, He Ao suddenly remembered a question.
He looked at Selena and asked loudly, “What’s your power level?”
“Me?” Selena’s sound receiver could pick up extremely faint sounds, there was no need for He Ao to shout that loudly for her to hear.
Nevertheless, she answered with a laugh, “I’ve just reached D-class!”
“What?”
He Ao felt that he hadn’t heard clearly.
“I said I’ve just reached D-class!”
Selena repeated loudly.
He Ao: ???
You, a recent D-class, are taking me, an F-class rookie who’s used up his skills, to challenge a top-tier D-class boss?
You’re that confident?
Without any hesitation, He Ao raised his wristband and began to set it up.
“What are you doing?!”
Selena glanced over and shouted.
“Give me Smith’s number,” He Ao replied, “I need to set him as an emergency contact!
If we can’t beat them, it’ll be nice to have someone to absorb!”
Selena paused for a moment, her gaze settling on He Ao as she revealed a reassuring smile.
She, too, would call Smith at the push of a button, but if she had such a teammate before when they went after Yezola, maybe she wouldn’t have fallen into such a dangerous situation.
Although Yezola didn’t end up killing her, even saved her, that feeling of being betrayed by a teammate, one’s life hanging on someone else’s whims, was not pleasant.
Her one hand on the steering wheel, she turned to He Ao and laughed loudly, “I sent it to you!”
“Watch the road while you’re driving!!!!!!”
He Ao was shocked.
——
“Is this really a ‘waiter’?”
The man holding a briefcase swallowed, his eyes fixated on the vial cradled in the hands of the woman in the red bandage dress, encased in silver metal.
“To be precise, this is the ‘waiter’ Secret Medicine,” the woman pocketed the vial, “Take this and you’ll become ‘Talent Sequence 34: Waiter,’ and you’ll successfully advance to E-class.”
“I want it, I want it,” the man wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his briefcase, and took out an ultra-thin tablet, “I’ll transfer the money to you right away.”
At that moment, the man noticed the voluptuous and sexy figure of the woman.
He hesitated, intense desire repeatedly assaulting his reason.
He ventured to ask, “I wonder if it might be possible to…”
The woman lifted her index finger to her bright red lips and pressed it lightly, a hint of pearly white teeth peeking through as she did so,
“For your case,” she said, watching the man’s expression fill with disappointment, and smiled seductively, like a rose in full bloom, “there’s an extra charge.”
“I’ll pay it!
I’ll add two thousand!
Your payment address hasn’t changed, has it?!”
The man’s hands trembled with excitement.
Seeing the woman not object, he quickly opened the computer, verified the key, and completed the transaction at once.
“Are you sure you want to go through with the ‘waiter’ route?”
The woman teased the man gleefully, her eyes filled with mockery.
“Yes, yes!
Is there a problem with it?”
Gazing at the burgundy bandage dress and the enchanting figure before him, the man felt his whole body burning with heat.
“No, it’s fine.”
The woman held the test tube between her index and middle finger, gently shook it, and then slowly inserted it back into her chest, bending slightly forward to bring her cheek close to the man’s, “So do you want to use the Secret Medicine first, or would you like to… use… me first?”
“Ah!”
The man could no longer endure such teasing and, like a beast, violently pressed the woman against the wall.
The crystalline skin turned a tender red from the brutal pressure.
“Hahaha”
The woman laughed as if she had encountered the happiest thing in the world.
Bang—Bang—Bang—
The icy footsteps shattered the increasingly heated atmosphere.
A figure completely shrouded in a pitch-black hood approached step by step, drawing ever closer to the two.
A terrifying and violent pressure instantly descended upon them.
Spurred by this brutal pressure, the man became instantly irate.
He angrily got up and charged towards the shadowed figure in the hood.
“What the hell are you, scram, and don’t disturb me.”
He swung a slap towards the figure in the hood.
However, the hooded figure moved faster, smacking him squarely on the face, shattering his skull, and sending him flying into the wall.
Blood, bright red, also sprayed in that instant, splashing upon the pitch-black hood.
The newcomer slowly removed the hood, revealing a pale and emaciated face.
He looked at the woman by the wall, her clothes in disarray, slightly opened his mouth, and in a voice as hoarse as a beast’s low growl, he said, “Long time no see.”
The next second, he was in front of the woman, stretching out his hand to grasp her neck, lifting her forcefully into the air.
The woman’s cheeks quickly turned red and then purple.
“Let her go!”
A tall figure rushed in, holding a gun aimed at the hooded man.
“I said we could actually wait until the siege was fully set up.”
He Ao followed, panting.
He looked at the body on the ground, paused for a moment as some memories surged in his mind.
He shook those memories from his head and again looked towards Selena, who had rushed ahead, and the hooded man—or rather, Mu Xiu.
On the way over, after confirming that the location had not moved, he had already contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Agents from the FBI and the Dawn City Police had begun to set up a cordon.
Selena’s rushing over at this moment was somewhat unwise.
The girl was all right in every way, just too kind.
He Ao was quite calm, he wouldn’t mind if the woman in the red dress and Mu Xiu had a fight.
If one had to describe the woman in the red dress, it would be:
This dame didn’t seem like good folk.
Mu Xiu glanced at Selena rushing over, then at the woman whose neck he was gripping, who seemed to be on her last breath, and without any hesitation, let go of the red dress woman and crashed through the wall, escaping.
Seizing the opportunity, He Ao quickly rushed to the woman in the red dress, pulled out the electromagnetic handcuffs he carried, and cuffed her.
Selena also promptly followed after Mu Xiu.
After cuffing the woman in red, He Ao felt a bit more relaxed.
He stood up and looked at the silver pistol in his hands, which Selena had given him for self-defense just moments ago.
This gun was much larger than a standard pistol, a Gauss Gun that used electromagnetic acceleration to fire bullets, causing far more damage than a regular handgun.
He couldn’t keep up with Selena’s speed, so the initial plan was that if the woman in the red dress was still alive, he would guard her until the main forces arrived.
And while He Ao was examining the pistol, a slender arm suddenly rested on his shoulder, “Hey there, what are you looking at?”
The beauty exhaled a fragrance as delicate as an orchid.
And He Ao stood petrified.
