"What's that sound?"

Li Cheng颐, who had just parked his car, opened the door and looked up at the distant sky.

It was the wilderness far from Suiyang, no longer even considered the suburbs, but rather the wildlands between cities.

In this era, with this level of technology, the existence of wildlands was an unbelievable thing.

But they truly existed, a sanctuary for criminals and outcasts, a lawless zone without any regulation.

After a brief scan, seeing nothing, Li Cheng颐 turned his gaze to his surroundings. The massive white star overhead cast moonlight, illuminating the ground.

He and the SUV were parked beside a small path through the woods.

The path was covered in gravel and fine sand, the gray dust crushed countless times, now incredibly fine. A slight breeze stirred up faint dust clouds.

The path was only about three meters wide, flanked by sparse grass, about ten meters wide, and then bordered by bushes and low shrubs.

Beyond that lay a dense, gloomy forest.

At night, the SUV's headlights shone like two white pillars, directly onto the road ahead, attracting many insects that buzzed around.

Li Cheng颐 leaned against the car door, took out a new, cheap phone, and sent a quick text message to all the parents. Then, with a flash of golden light in his hand, he directly cut the phone into several pieces and threw them far into the forest.

Having done all this, he glanced at the feedback from his Evil Flower mark. Evil Intent: 31%'

Too slow. I wasted my time hitting up several places in a row." He was a little frustrated, the hearts of people these days were truly too fragile.

So many underlings, thugs, and yet they hadn't accumulated enough evil intent to complete the second evolution of the Wisteria Flower. He stood there by the car door, tilting his head slightly, leaning against the car, and closed his eyes to rest.

His only thought now was that the parents who came later would be more effective. Time passed slowly.

About twenty minutes later.

A faint groan of awakening could be heard from inside the car. But this time, Li Cheng颐 did not bother to knock them unconscious again. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked out into the wilderness.

"Finally here..." He walked forward slowly, countless golden petals suddenly appearing around him. The petals swirled like sand, coalescing into a Gladiolus Flower Scale Armor.

The light from the headlights illuminated his entire body from behind, reflecting a slightly dazzling gold. *Zzt.*

Soon, two black speeders rapidly approached from the distance, then slowed down and landed. The strong airflow scattered the surrounding dust, flattening the grass on both sides.

The doors swung open, and one after another, burly men in body armor and night-vision combat helmets, dressed like special forces, quickly jumped out.

Despite the similar appearance, their scattered stances upon landing revealed a large gap between them and real soldiers. Li Cheng颐 crossed his arms and stood in the headlights, quietly watching the people spilling out of the speeders.

The bright car lights shone on the armor on his body, reflecting golden light that was impossible to look at directly. There were ten in total, the last being a particularly strong, tall man.

He wore a metal mask, a bulletproof helmet, and a full-body deep-blue exoskeleton armor covering vital points, with an anti-riot shield in one hand and a submachine gun in the other.

"Full-body exoskeleton?" The man immediately stared at Li Cheng颐 not far away, his gaze passing through the night vision goggles to land on the armor on his body.

"To get a full-body exoskeleton of this level, your friend has good connections." "Where are the others?" Li Cheng颐 sized up the group.

"Where's my son?!" "Where's my daughter?!"

Among the others, two people now stood out, holding large-caliber firearms and aiming at Li Cheng颐. These two were Chen Sui and Song Chengtuo, the other two he had chosen.

"Rest assured, they are all fine." Li Cheng颐 felt the feedback from the Evil Flower. "Killing Intent +3.'"

"Killing Intent +2.'" "Killing Intent +3." "Killing Intent +2.'"

The constant stream of rising evil intent made him feel increasingly comfortable. "Did you bring the gold bars?" he asked in a deep voice.

The two exchanged a look with Long Shangui and stepped forward, each carrying a black suitcase.

The suitcases were not large. With a *click*, the lid was opened, revealing neat rows of gold bars with markings. There were three suitcases in total, three suitcases of gold, totaling nearly thirty million.

Which was less than a hundred kilograms.

"The gold bars are all here, all from Xiangyun, with a purity of four nines," Long Shangui said in a deep voice.

The three gently placed the suitcases on the open ground in front of Li Cheng颐, not caring about the dust that settled on them.

After they retreated, Li Cheng颐 stepped forward and picked up a gold bar to examine it.

The words of the manufacturing company, Xiangyun, were still in the center of the gold bar, below which was the purity, four nines, and a small row of numbers and weight.

"Not bad. Now, as long as you fulfill my last request, you can take your children home." He closed the suitcase, straightened up, and looked at the ten people in front of him.

"Friend, aren't you asking for a bit too much?" Long Shangui stopped Chen Sui, who was about to burst into curses. "People who are too greedy often come to a bad end."

"I'm not greedy at all." Li Cheng颐 smiled. He drew a golden sword from behind his back.

"From the beginning, I just wanted to play a game with you." He walked towards them step by step.

*Boom!!*

Suddenly, his figure flashed, and his speed, now several times greater than ordinary people, instantly crossed the distance of a dozen meters, rushing into the crowd.

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*

Gunshots rang out suddenly, merging into a single sound.

Everyone was shocked by his sudden burst of speed. Too fast!! www.

That was not the explosive power that an exoskeleton should have. "A complete body!!" Long Shangui suddenly realized.

He tried to aim his submachine gun at Li Cheng颐, but the bullets didn't even know where they were flying. The others were the same as him, unable to aim in the chaos.

*Chh! Chh! Chh!!*

Three muffled sounds rang out in quick succession, and three people clutched their throats, collapsing to the ground. Large amounts of blood spurted out, staining the grass on both sides.

Two others were accidentally injured by the bullets of their companions. Although they had body armor at close range, it was still like being hit by a heavy punch, staggering and bending over, losing their combat power.

"Drop the guns! Close combat!"

Long Shangui was the first to react, throwing away his gun, raising his right arm, and clenching his fist.

His spiked fist, wearing an exoskeleton glove, slammed hard at the fleeting golden figure in front of him.

The conditioned reflexes of years of combat training, as well as frequent drug enhancements, allowed him to catch the fleeting opportunity.

The punch actually hit. *Boom!!*

The spiked fist struck Li Cheng颐's open left hand squarely. The palm firmly grasped the fist.

*Crack.*

The powerful grip even caused Long Shangui's glove to make a slight cracking sound.

"You're not bad." Li Cheng颐 raised his hand, actually lifting Long Shangui, man and hand, directly off the ground.

Then he smashed him backward. *Boom!*

Long Shangui was, after all, just a slightly stronger ordinary person. Even with drug enhancements, he was only so strong. Being hit by such a heavy blow, one that could collapse a cement wall, made his whole body ache and his head spin, slowing his reactions.

By the time he struggled to his feet, there was no one else standing around him.

Chen Sui and Song Chengtuo had both fallen to the ground, their faces covered in blood, dazed and confused, obviously seriously injured. And the rest were all lying in pools of blood, lifeless.

*Boom!!* Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

Li Cheng颐, holding the giant sword, stabbed it hard through the hood of a speeder.

The golden giant sword was incredibly sharp, easily piercing a large hole in the car. Then he did the same, destroying the other speeder.

"Now, let's play a game." Li Cheng颐 pulled out the sword, turned around, and looked at Long Shangui and the three young men and women who had woken up inside the SUV.

"I, Long, am nobody, just a gang leader. To think I would be dealt with by a fully modified specimen like you, the kind that even the police have headaches with," Long Shangui tore off the broken metal mask, revealing a blood-stained chin.

"No matter what the game is, I accept! As long as you let my son go, I'll cooperate with anything!" "Dad!!" Long Yuanfu, in the SUV not far away, finally couldn't help but cry out. "Killing Intent +4'"

"Killing Intent +7'" "Anger +5'" "Hatred +1'"

Feeling the accelerating increase in evil intent, Li Cheng颐 felt increasingly happy.

This was seventeen points of evil intent in one go, an increase in speed that was much faster than before. Seeing the evil intent break through 60 at once, and still rising rapidly,

the corners of his mouth under the helmet widened further.

"Very good... The name of this game is Garden of Destiny..."

"Garden of Destiny?" Long Shangui and the other two suppressed their emotions, separated, and stood up, staring intently at Li Cheng颐, ready to see what tricks he would play.

Li Cheng颐 inserted the golden sword back into his back.

"From now on, every ten minutes, I will strike, randomly killing one person." "You need to shout out who you think I'm going to target before the time comes. If you're right, I'll give up on that attack."

He didn't say what would happen if they were wrong. If they were wrong, the target would naturally die.

"What kind of damn game is this!!" Long Yuanfu in the SUV couldn't help but roar loudly. "Dad, run! Don't worry about me!!" He still had some backbone.

But Long Shangui didn't pay any attention to his son, instead staring intently at Li Cheng颐.

"How many times? How long will we have to play?" he asked coldly, enduring the pain in his body, his eyes not blinking.

"Five times." Li Cheng颐 opened his hand. "After five times, I'll let you go back." *Bang!*

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

A small spark lit up in the center of Li Cheng颐's forehead.

But it was useless. He only tilted his head slightly and returned to normal. "Naughty children must be punished."

In an instant, his figure flashed, and he suddenly rushed to the side of the SUV, swiping the golden sword.

Feng Sihe, who had secretly fired the shot, had his right arm cut in two as easily as cutting tofu, and the hand holding the small pistol also loosened, letting the pistol roll to the ground.

He screamed and rolled around, blood spurting out, splattering everywhere in the car.

Several young men and women screamed shrilly, their faces pale with fright. Feng Haijiao cried on the spot, kicking her legs wildly, turning her head to one side, closing her eyes, and daring not to look.

She had personally witnessed her own father's arm being cut off with a single sword. This intense shock caused her to develop a huge fear of Li Cheng颐.

"Fear +2'"

Li Cheng颐 glanced at Feng Haijiao. Worthless.

This state of being almost scared to pee only gave two points.

It seemed that trash really was trash, and inferior products could never become top-quality fertilizer. Fortunately, the others were performing well.

He turned around and looked at Long Shangui and the others. "Now, the game can begin."
