1025 Words
Pei Xue wore a tight outfit, paired with black boots. She looked very capable, like a character from a movie... Hearing Huang Mengde's words, Pei Xue softly said, "Young Master, Su Yuno is a woman... isn't your Aunt Pei also a woman?" "What does a young girl know about technique?" As she spoke, Pei Xue slowly walked towards Huang Mengde... "Young Master, let Aunt Pei help you relieve your anger..." Pei Xue's gaze towards Huang Mengde turned tender, but beneath that tenderness lay a hint of ambition. Pei Xue knew very well that assassins never had a good end. Moreover, as she aged, her skills would decline. If she could seduce Young Master Huang Mengde, her future would be much easier... To please Huang Mengde, Pei Xue softly said, "Don't worry, Young Master. I will kill both Lu Ming and Su Yuno..." ......
The snow continued to fall, showing no signs of stopping. The temperature kept dropping, nearing minus thirty degrees... Lu Ming looked out the window, seeing no pedestrians outside the neighborhood. This morning, almost all businesses had ceased operations... From the group chat, many air conditioner units had already frozen and broken! Panic was starting to spread. "In less than three days, chaos will erupt in the neighborhood..." Lu Ming murmured, "Compared to my situation in the past life, it's a world of difference!" "I don't need to worry about the cold or food... My concern now is the progress of activating beauty potential..." Yes, Lu Ming's villa now housed four stunning beauties. He needed to assist these four maids in breaking through their beauty potential through energy transfer... This process, while enjoyable, was not easy. "Fortunately, I have plenty of time!" "Lin Jiayu's beauty potential has reached sixty percent..." "Li Mengran's beauty potential has developed to fifty percent..." "Zhang Qianqian's beauty potential has developed to forty percent..." "Su Yuno's beauty potential has developed to thirty percent..." "As before, the progress of beauty potential development slows down the further it goes." Lu Ming poured himself a glass of red wine and took a sip. "Besides that, it seems someone is watching me..." Although Wang Chuan's surveillance was concealed, it was still detected by the Void Crystal... "Heh... it seems my boring apocalyptic life will get some excitement." Lu Ming thought, considering if he had offended anyone. After thinking it over, it didn't seem like he had. "So, it must be related to the women inside..." Judging from their status and background, it was highly likely the person was connected to Li Mengran. Lu Ming said calmly, "Mengran, come out." His voice wasn't loud, but Li Mengran heard it clearly. She came out of her room and knelt before Lu Ming. Li Mengran looked up at Lu Ming and said softly, "Master, Mengran is here." Lu Ming showed her an image from the Void Crystal, "Do you recognize this person?" Li Mengran looked carefully and then nodded, "Yes, the person in the image is Wang Chuan." "He's a senior member of the Gu Group..." Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, Gu Group? Gu Jie? I see... Lu Ming glanced at Li Mengran, "Understood, you may go back." "Yes, Master!" Li Mengran obediently returned to her room. A hint of killing intent flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, "Gu Jie... you'd better survive this snowstorm..." "As for Wang Chuan... haha... you've come all the way here in this freezing weather, I must give you a chance, right..." Wang Chuan settled in an apartment 200 meters from Lu Ming's villa, lurking. He wasn't an ordinary person, capable of observing movements within 200 meters... Wang Chuan's weapon wasn't a firearm but throwing knives! While most throwing knife experts could accurately hit targets within 20 meters, Wang Chuan could do it from 200 meters! Even farther than the range of many handguns! In a way, Wang Chuan wasn't an ordinary person... His strength, vision, and explosiveness surpassed even E-level superhumans... This made him invincible in the underworld for years. Wang Chuan had investigated Lu Ming and knew about the AK-47 incident. But Wang Chuan didn't care... If someone needs an AK to kill, how strong can they be? So, Wang Chuan was confident about this assassination mission. "Just patiently wait for Lu Ming to come out of the villa..." Though nearly a whole day had passed, Wang Chuan was not in a hurry. Patience is a basic quality of an excellent assassin. And the target would appear eventually. Sure enough, just now... The villa's door opened, and Lu Ming walked out. Wang Chuan calmly adjusted his breathing, a throwing knife already in his left hand. Lu Ming used the Void Crystal to scout the surroundings, ensuring there were no other ambushes, then stepped out the door. He deliberately walked towards Wang Chuan, his hands down, seemingly unguarded. Wang Chuan focused intently! Lu Ming's whole body was full of openings, with no protective gear. "Perfect opportunity!" Without hesitation, Wang Chuan threw the knife. A cold glint cut through the night, aiming at Lu Ming's throat! The knife was incredibly fast! In an instant, it was in front of Lu Ming! "Heh..." Lu Ming chuckled. A faint distortion appeared in the space before him, shredding the knife into powder. Seeing this, Wang Chuan's face changed instantly, "Not good, this man is stronger than I thought! I must retreat!" Wang Chuan immediately dashed out of the hallway, realizing he wasn't a match for Lu Ming. Just now, the knife was about to hit the target, but it shattered into powder inexplicably! Wang Chuan hadn't even seen Lu Ming move; he had no idea how he did it. But that didn't matter anymore. An expert assassin has a keen sense of danger, and now it screamed at him to flee. The snow was deep, greatly hindering Wang Chuan's movement... But facing a life-or-death crisis, he still retreated quickly. The snowmobile he had prepared was close! One hundred meters... fifty meters... ten meters!!! Just as Wang Chuan leaped towards the snowmobile... Lu Ming appeared in front of him. Years of combat experience kicked in... Wang Chuan didn't panic, throwing ten knives simultaneously at Lu Ming...
