"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the wall in front of Asu shattered and then exploded.
Tianmei, who was sitting inside contemplating life, was startled by the noise, but her expression immediately changed. Just as she was about to make a move, a figure suddenly appeared before her eyes.
"It's you!"
Having met an hour ago, Tianmei couldn't possibly not recognize Asu.
"It's me, my apologies, Miss Tianmei."
Asu said calmly, then pressed his hand onto her pressure points. Every martial artist knew this technique to some extent, and Tianmei was no exception.
However, the same technique yielded different results depending on who performed it. For instance, Asu infused his internal energy, and Tianmei felt as if two solid balls had been shoved into her body, directly severing the connections in her nerves!
She instantly became unable to move.
This was what the martial world called striking pressure points!
If this had happened to someone else, Asu might have been amused to watch, but it was a different story when it happened to himself.
Tianmei quickly shouted, "Are you crazy? Don't you know this is my territory!"
Asu said calmly, "My apologies, Miss Tianmei, I am merely following orders."
At this moment, Huang Jie slowly walked in through the opening Asu had created. "Miss Tianmei, I didn't expect we would meet again so soon."
In this situation, it was impossible not to understand their intentions. Tianmei stared fixedly at Huang Jie. "I advise you not to do anything rash, or from this moment on, my Charm City and you, Leopard Huang, will be sworn enemies!"
Huang Jie laughed. "I seem to recall my Leopard Huang and your Charm City have always been rivals, when did we ever become friends?"
A flicker of indignant sorrow flashed in Tianmei's eyes. If her grandfather were still alive, a mere young master like Huang Jie wouldn't dare speak to her like this!
At its peak, Charm City had over a dozen experts at the third level alone! This was why, despite being involved in gray industries, none of the Four Great Gangs had dared to take over Charm City's territory!
However, a force that rises must also fall. Ever since the first master of Charm City passed away, its original power gradually disintegrated.
Even now, ordinary people in Shangjing rarely knew the name Charm City.
Huang Jie was unaware of Tianmei's thoughts drifting far away. Believing she had accepted reality, a hint of smugness rose on his face.
"Don't worry, Miss Tianmei, I will be very gentle."
"A beauty like you must be treated well, lest we spoil Heaven's gift."
A lewd chuckle escaped him. Although Huang Jie always paid attention to his image, he couldn't help but reveal his true nature when faced with a prey he desired.
Tianmei also snapped back to reality and quickly warned again, "Huang Jie! Do you really want us to be sworn enemies from now on?"
"Miss Tianmei, why can't it be sleepless nights instead?"
Tianmei's pupils contracted sharply. She knew that further words were useless. At this point, only one final option remained in her mind.
Self-destruction!
The reason she had held on until now was to restore Charm City's glory. If the master herself was to be humiliated and debased by others, what hope would there be for revitalization?
"Master, I didn't expect we would meet so soon."
To prepare for such a situation, Tianmei had kept a poisoned dagger in her pocket. The poison was potent enough that a slight scratch on the skin could cause an adult to drop dead within ten seconds!
Even a master of their realm, if not promptly treated with internal energy, would die completely within a minute!
A resolute glint flashed in Tianmei's eyes. However, to her surprise, someone's actions were faster than hers.
The moment her right hand moved, Asu's right hand firmly seized both of hers.
"Miss Tianmei, I apologize. This is my final mission."
Tianmei's expression turned anxious, and she tried to break free, but her strength was insignificant compared to Asu's; she was completely immobilized.
Watching Huang Jie approach her with a lewd grin and start to undress, despair filled Tianmei's eyes.
For some reason, a figure suddenly surfaced in her mind.
A figure with whom she had recently shared intimacy.
"But he should have already returned..."
Tianmei closed her eyes in despair. If she were truly violated today, regardless of whether they killed her afterward, she would never choose to live again.
...
"Ah Hai, why are those two taking so long to come out?"
Yue Hai and the other person returned to wait outside, but neither of the three had appeared. Yue Hai had already spent an hour looking!
Finding someone shouldn't take this long!
"Could something really have happened inside?"
Yue Hai couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's go, we'll go in and check!"
Chen Peiyue raised an eyebrow. "You want me to go in too? But will they let me in?"
Places like this generally didn't allow women inside, as everyone knew what kind of business was conducted there. Moreover, Chen Peiyue herself felt a bit awkward.
Although Yue Hai hadn't told her the situation inside, she had her phone and could look up information online.
Yue Hai shook his head. "I don't mean for us to go find them ourselves."
"Then how should we look?"
As soon as she spoke, Chen Peiyue suddenly realized. "You mean look for that woman from earlier?"
Yue Hai didn't deny it. "She's the owner of this place. Finding her will definitely be faster than us searching ourselves."
"But will she help us?"
Pure-hearted Chen Peiyue didn't suspect Yue Hai of lying. In her opinion, they had only met due to a misunderstanding.
The most crucial point was that there were two enemies inside whom she couldn't handle. Now that they had managed to escape, if any further conflict arose, they truly wouldn't be able to leave.
This wasn't selfishness on Chen Peiyue's part, but rather a thought that if these two also met with trouble, then if Black Blade and the Forest Wolf brothers encountered difficulties, there would be no one to help them!
Yue Hai harbored no such worries, so he stated directly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've spoken with her, and she's very reasonable."
"Alright then."
Without delay, the two decided and quickly walked back.
The security guard at the entrance had seen them for the third time. However, the last time, they had been brought back by their superiors, making it difficult for him to intercept them.
"Um, shall I inform them for you?"
Yue Hai considered it for a moment, then shook his head. "I'll go in myself."
The reason was that informing them would require waiting for a response. Yue Hai's mood had become somewhat agitated for reasons unknown, with a faint premonition that something bad was about to happen!
