Chapter 29: Instant Kill
1025 Words
Facing the assault of ten flying knives, a mocking smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips.
"Heh..." Lu Ming let out a roar and quickly swung his fists, knocking down all ten knives.
His punches were faster than the flying knives, creating multiple afterimages in the air.
This was the physical prowess of a C+ Awakened.
Wang Chuan gritted his teeth and aimed a roundhouse kick at Lu Ming. Mid-kick, his shoe revealed a hidden dagger!
As an assassin, his body was a weapon cache.
The dagger was coated with poison, lethal with the slightest scratch.
Facing the deadly kick, Lu Ming remained calm...
With a flick of his sleeve, a flash of light appeared, severing Wang Chuan's leg and nullifying his attack.
The next moment, Lu Ming grabbed Wang Chuan and slammed him deep into the snow.
"In front of this man, I am utterly powerless..."
Lu Ming's slam shattered all the bones in Wang Chuan's body.
As he was buried in the snow, despair filled Wang Chuan's heart!
He knew death was imminent,
In his final moments, Wang Chuan couldn't help but think of the Gu family's enterprise he had fought for all his life.
"Gu Jie... you shouldn't have provoked him..."
"Facing someone like this, the Gu family is doomed!"
Lu Ming watched quietly as the snow buried Wang Chuan, his face emotionless.
"The apocalypse has arrived, and the killing has just begun..."
......
At the police station, an intense discussion was underway.
Bai Yan was agitated. "Chief, I don't understand. Are we just going to let Lu Ming go?"
"The surveillance from last night shows he killed another person!"
"And a few days ago, Li Mengran, the chairman of Tianran Group, and Su Yuno, a university student, both went to his house."
"They haven't come out since. I suspect they are in danger and need immediate rescue."
Yan Shan, the police chief of the third city of Country A, looked at Bai Yan calmly.
Watching the young officer he had high hopes for, he sighed softly...
"Bai Yan, you're still too young..."
"Lu Ming is very mysterious... and recent events have many questionable points."
Yan Shan said slowly, "Firstly, the day Lu Ming chased Chen Yu, the surveillance showed Chen Yu was also armed!"
"And it was Chen Yu who attacked a woman in Lu Ming's villa first..."
"So, whether Chen Yu was the victim or if Lu Ming was acting in self-defense is still uncertain."
"As for last night's footage, it shows that Gu family’s Wang Chuan attacked Lu Ming first."
"Wang Chuan's infamous flying knives, which never miss, were somehow neutralized by Lu Ming..."
Yan Shan knew a lot about the Gu family and Wang Chuan.
In fact, if the Gu family's influence wasn't so vast and intricate, Yan Shan would have taken action against them long ago.
Wang Chuan had killed many in his early years and was a thorn in Yan Shan's side.
Yet, this top assassin was instantly killed by Lu Ming...
Uncertain of Lu Ming's stance, Yan Shan didn't want to make him an enemy.
"Bai Yan... Lu Ming might be a righteous hero. For now, let's leave him be."
Bai Yan shook her head, "Chief Yan, how can you say that? Even if Lu Ming was acting in self-defense, he can't just kill people in the street!"
"Since ancient times, those who use force for justice have been against the law. We police are here to uphold justice, not to let civilians fight each other!"
Though Bai Yan spoke harshly, Yan Shan didn't get angry.
He took a sip of water and said slowly, "Bai Yan, has Lu Ming left his villa since yesterday except to deal with Wang Chuan?"
Bai Yan nodded.
Yan Shan continued, "Besides neutralizing Wang Chuan, Lu Ming hasn't attacked anyone else."
"As for Li Mengran and Su Yuno, both went to see Lu Ming voluntarily."
"This indicates that, at least for now, Lu Ming isn't that dangerous."
Yan Shan sighed, "Bai Yan, the recent weather is too abnormal..."
"If this snowstorm continues, many unforeseen events will occur. We should focus on potential emergencies."
"As for Lu Ming... his safe house is impenetrable. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we should leave him be for now."
Bai Yan was silent for a long time before finally nodding.
But she told herself, "Lu Ming, one day, you'll be in my hands."
Another day passed!
The temperature had dropped to minus sixty degrees...
Gu Jie could no longer contact Wang Chuan. He used the Gu family's connections to pull up surveillance of Lu Ming's neighborhood.
The footage nearly made his legs give out...
The invincible Wang Chuan was effortlessly killed by Lu Ming!
"How... how is this possible?!" Gu Jie muttered, "Uncle Wang is unbeatable, his flying knives are as precise as martial arts masters. How could this happen?"
At this moment, Gu Jie finally calmed down. "Lu Ming is this powerful? Provoking him for a woman was incredibly foolish..."
As Gu Jie was lost in thought, the butler walked in.
"Young Master, the master said this snowstorm won't stop. We're to move to the doomsday safe house."
The butler's words stunned Gu Jie.
Then, joy filled Gu Jie's heart!
"Right, the snowstorm won't stop. The apocalypse is coming... Our Gu family has long prepared a massive doomsday safe house."
"It was meant as a precaution, but now it's essential..."
"Heh heh... Lu Ming, no matter how strong you are, without supplies and a safe house, you'll die in this disaster... hahaha!"
Thinking this, Gu Jie laughed out loud.
He turned to the butler, "Understood. Tell the master I'll be there shortly."
......
At the Huang family,
Pei Xue had spent an entire day soothing Huang Mengde's anger.
"Young Master, you have such a strong vitality, able to sustain for so long..."
Pei Xue, now in a nightgown, leaned on the sofa.
Huang Mengde chuckled, "All thanks to my health... and your skills, Aunt Pei..."
Pei Xue giggled, "Young Master, when you become the head of the Huang family, you'll have many beautiful ladies by your side. Don't forget your Aunt Pei."
