"Heh."
Seeing this, Zhao Yunhai crossed his legs, his eyes narrowed, a hint of danger flashing within them.
The Bad Luck Charm worked so fast.
What a pity, the thousandfold multiplier was for the Revenge System, the revenge points were multiplied by a thousand, but he had no enemies.
Enemies, Zhao Yunhai had long since sent them to the Western Pure Land.
Logically speaking, if Gu Tianfeng used the Bad Luck Charm against him, then Gu Tianfeng should be his enemy.
But filling in Gu Tianfeng's name was useless, it remained in an inactive state.
If the Gu family hadn't been wiped out so soon, perhaps Gu Tianfeng would have been his enemy.
And Gu Tianfeng's bad luck had just begun. As he was about to flee with a gust of wind, his internal energy suddenly faltered.
His Qinggong skills led him to crash into trees, his evasive maneuvers caused him to run into skills, and so on.
The young monk Wuchen, though unaware of what was happening to the other party, knew that this situation meant trouble.
"Amitabha, karma is predetermined, and karma is known."
The young monk Wuchen continued to chant sutras only he understood.
"Damn it, you little monk, die!"
Gu Tianfeng's mind was once again filled with annoying Buddhist scriptures, his eyes turned red as he charged at Wuchen with killing intent.
"Get past me first."
Li Mingyi, without a word, blocked in front of the young monk Wuchen.
The ground slipped, and Gu Tianfeng knelt before Li Mingyi as if offering New Year greetings.
The scene was incredibly spectacular, making everyone feel a sense of deep strangeness.
Even Li Mingyi, one of the parties involved, was startled. Was this guy performing some sort of ability activation ritual?
But time was money, and Gu Tianfeng's kneeling had directly cost him his life.
Gu Tianfeng's shadow was reconnected, and various control methods immediately trapped him.
Gu Tianfeng's face turned crimson with anger. What was happening? Even now, Gu Tianfeng was still bewildered.
He had never expected to fall victim to the Bad Luck Charm, feeling an overwhelming sense of misfortune.
The scriptures chanted by the young monk Wuchen made Gu Tianfeng cry out in pain.
But bound as he was, he couldn't relieve the pain with movement and could only scream loudly.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhao Yunhai stood up and walked over, looking down at him.
"Gu Tianfeng, a pity. Originally, I thought I might not catch you, as you're as slippery as an eel."
"Since you're about to die, your father will naturally join you in the afterlife, courtesy of me."
Gu Tianfeng's mind was a jumbled mess, and he couldn't comprehend Zhao Yunhai's words, though Zhao Yunhai didn't expect him to.
Bang, bang, bang. Three gunshots.
Zhao Yunhai put away his gun and looked at Gu Tianfeng, lying in a pool of blood, and said calmly, "Cremate him."
"Yes."
Ah Da quickly grabbed a bucket of oil and doused Gu Tianfeng's entire body.
Zhao Yunhai spun a flip-top lighter in his hand, and a flame appeared, which he threw onto Gu Tianfeng's corpse.
With a roar, the flames instantly engulfed Gu Tianfeng's body, burning fiercely.
Not far away, a hawk was perched on a branch, quietly observing the scene. Only when Zhao Yunhai turned to leave did it spread its wings and fly away.
Zhao Yunhai, as if sensing something, suddenly turned and looked at the hawk soaring in the sky, then withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.
This hawk should have been controlled.
With such a large commotion here, the animals and birds would have long since fled. Yet this hawk only flew away as he turned to leave.
Strange, peculiar.
Perhaps he was overthinking, but Zhao Yunhai never felt that overthinking was wrong. This hawk was definitely problematic.
"Someone, hunt this hawk down for me."
With Zhao Yunhai's order, several gifted individuals who could fly ascended into the sky, their weapons firing at the hawk.
This hawk was no match for these gifted individuals and was shot down.
"Yun Shao."
A flying gifted individual knelt on one knee, holding the half-dead hawk in his hands, bowing respectfully.
"Someone, check if this hawk has been controlled."
Zhao Yunhai stared at the hawk, unable to discern anything. Professional matters required professional hands.
A psychic gifted individual stepped forward to examine the hawk. After about half a minute, the psychic reported that there were indeed traces of control.
"Yun Shao, this method of control is unprecedented. It's not hypnosis, nor mental control, but a very subtle form of manipulation."
Zhao Yunhai waved him away and looked at Wuchen and Li Mingyi, "It seems that just as one trouble is resolved, another appears."
Li Mingyi knew this meant the matter would be handed over to him again, but his mind was preoccupied with other things.
"The task you assigned me last time, I plan to carry it out now. As for this matter, I think it can be handed over to Wang Fan."
"Haha, you, oh you." Zhao Yunhai was surprised and chuckled.
It was true that he had assigned this task to Li Mingyi, but now, it seemed the latter was eager to go cause some trouble.
"Alright, handing it over to Wang Fan will require him to be injected with the ability-enhancing serum first."
Zhao Yunhai felt that he was short-handed again. There should be many more capable people in the world. With the Zhao family's name, recruiting talented individuals worldwide was certainly feasible.
However, Zhao Yunhai favored protagonists, as protagonists didn't require his personal oversight when dealing with other protagonists. He truly didn't trust anyone else.
...
"He's gone."
A teenager, lounging lazily on a tiger, said to the mysterious woman resting by a tree with her eyes closed.
"Thank you."
The mysterious woman, wearing a veil, held a sword. She opened her eyes and bowed her head to the teenager, expressing her gratitude.
"By the way, why are you so afraid of him, and why did you monitor him killing someone?"
The teenager patted the tiger's head and asked curiously.
However, from the teenager's eyes, it was clear he held no reverence for powerful figures like Zhao Yunhai.
"Asking too many questions is not good for you. This time, thank you for saving my life, benefactor. I'll be leaving now. If I'm lucky enough to survive, I will repay this kindness."
The mysterious woman left, taking with her the teenager's nascent budding affection.
"I have the strength, but you didn't ask me."
The teenager opened his mouth but did not say words of persuasion. He was not to leave the mountain before the age of eighteen, as per his master's dying wish.
He could not defy his master's command.
Hiss hiss hiss!!!
A colorful poisonous snake slithered from under his feet onto his arm, nuzzling his cheek affectionately.
"Alright, I know, I know."
Seeing Little Cai comforting him, the teenager broke into a hearty laugh.
