Chapter 42 One second... and I'll take care of you.
"Lord Nuwa, he has already passed away," Zhou Minghao reminded him.
"I know." The girl took a deep breath, picked up the handle again, and said, "I refuse to believe I can't make this!"
On the pleasure boat, Lu Mingfei's figure appeared exceptionally small. Zhou Minhao frowned slightly. "Are we really not needed support? We still don't know what their trump cards are."
"No problem." The controller clicked loudly, the girl's expression was as focused as a game addict, but her voice remained cold. "After this period of time, Kassel's investigation into that matter has been lifted, he's fine."
Besides, didn't you already send Xiao Cheng to set up the gun? What are you afraid of?"
"It's not that I'm scared, it's just that something feels off..."
Zhou Minhao looked down, feeling uneasy.
......................
Zhao Xuzhen slowly stood up and clapped his hands three times.
"Please step aside." His voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it cut off all other noise like a knife.
The crowd fell silent at his movements. Except for Boss Bai, who was directly opposite him, everyone else stood up without saying a word.
Their synchronized rise was eerily orderly, like puppets controlled by invisible threads, as they lined up and boarded the small boat beside the painted boat.
As the water rippled, the small boat disappeared into the lake as if swallowed by the night.
"It's quiet now." Zhao Xuzhen straightened the hem of his suit jacket and sat down again, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table. "Mr. Bai, we can finally talk about Wanzhi..."
"Click—"
A crisp sound of shells cracking suddenly came from the corner.
Everyone's gaze instantly turned like sharp swords piercing the source of the sound.
The crabs served from the steamer on the boat were all top-quality, their shells bulging and plump, and as soon as they came out of the steamer, their golden fat almost burst through their shells.
Lu Mingfei had just cracked open the shell of the third crab, and the oily crab roe on his hand was still steaming.
Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, he gave an awkward smile: "Um, you guys keep chatting, shall I start eating?"
Zhao Xuzhen's face darkened.
But it was clear that Zhao Xuzhen did not agree with Lu Mingfei's idea. He knew very well what he had just done; it was the power brought by the dragon bloodline.
Anyone enveloped by that power would fall into an illusion, but the boy in front of him completely ignored his ability.
He himself was a super hybrid created by the organization, and his bloodline concentration was already a level that was rare in the world.
To be able to ignore his words of power, what kind of bloodline must one have?
Could this be an unexpected surprise?
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Go, grab him."
A glint of greed flashed in Zhao Xuzhen's eyes as he stared intently at Lu Mingfei's body, as if he had discovered a diamond hidden in the sand. "I need to know the concentration of his bloodline now."
The dining table trembled.
The moment he finished speaking, several bodyguards in black pounced on him like cheetahs hunting their prey, while Zhao Xuzhen remained seated, clearly acknowledging that he was already his.
"So eager?" Lu Mingfei tossed aside the crab shell, wiped his hands with the tablecloth, and said, "You think I'm a crab on the table, don't you?"
He kicked the table, sending it flying and blocking the oncoming black-clad bodyguards. The peeled crab shells on the table pierced their faces like hidden weapons.
He wiped his palms clean, then slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.
"Looks like we've been underestimated."
He looked at Zhao Xuzhen standing behind the bodyguards, his eyes gleaming. He stood up, held up one finger, and said softly in an almost declarative tone:
"One second... and I'll take care of you."
Lu Mingfei's words were like a spark that ignited the fuse of a gunpowder.
Almost instinctively, three pairs of pupils suddenly lit up—a blazing light like molten gold exploded deep within the irises of the three people!
Golden Eyes!
Lu Mingfei's attitude enraged the bodyguards. The furious mountain shattered the air, and the bodyguards' bulging muscles swept over them with a whooshing sound. Behind the mountain, however, stood a figure almost blending into the shadows—the wheat-skinned female secretary.
She rushed towards him at that moment, her golden eyes filled with anger. Almost at the same time the boy finished speaking, she began to move, following the movements of the bodyguards.
They launched an attack on Lu Mingfei simultaneously.
Unlike the bodyguard's bold and sweeping movements, her movements were graceful and fluid, her slender high heels clattering rapidly on the ship's timbers, the sound of her footsteps like a sudden rainstorm striking stones.
The next instant, she floated to Lu Mingfei's side like a ghost. Her slender arms stretched out as if to embrace him, but her fingertips were sharp as venomous fangs, aimed straight for Lu Mingfei's throat.
On one side is an impenetrable wall of crushing force, on the other is a gentle yet deadly kiss that locks the throat.
Without a word, the three human walls had blocked the escape route, leaving only a gap on the side where the female secretary was.
But this is precisely the most deadly trap.
Just as the force of the punch was about to tear through his clothes, and the sharp armor was about to touch his Adam's apple—
The wind stopped.
A dazzling, fiery gold light rose from the boy's eyes, like a melting sun rising from the abyss.
In an instant, the boy's original brown eyes disappeared, replaced by golden eyes that held a disdain for everything in the world.
He seemed to have become a king in the imperial court, with an irresistible aura in every gesture, and at this moment, even time bowed down and knelt before him.
"It's a bit slow."
Lu Mingfei swayed slightly and walked out of the encirclement. Feeling the time that had stopped under his command, he suddenly felt an unexpected sense of freedom.
After Lu Mingze revealed the truth, Lu Mingfei realized that he had doubts about the World Tree's supernatural powers.
After all, one's innate supernatural power is not something to be taken lightly. What if a trap is set for it?
What if there are any unforeseen consequences? Would he still be alive?
After all, gifts that are easily obtained always come with a high price tag.
but.........
That being said, if you have such a useful supernatural power, and you hesitate to use it because of the possible risks, what's the difference between that and begging for food while holding a golden bowl?
To waste such a precious resource.
After he fed energy to the World Tree, although no changes were visible, the effect of Time Zero was indeed enhanced.
The acceleration factor, which was originally twelve times, has now quietly increased to twenty-four times.
Lu Mingfei pondered, but his hands moved swiftly as he began to fulfill his promise to the people in front of him.
He slowly walked up to the three bodyguards, whose bodies remained in a forward-leaning posture, their bulging muscles frozen in mid-air, their furious golden eyes flashing with lingering ferocity, and their faces looking somewhat eerie due to the twitching of their muscles.
"It looks pretty fierce, quite intimidating."
Lu Mingfei commented as he reached out and lightly touched one of the men's knee joints with his fingertips.
Click.....
It was the agonizing sound of bones shattering, as crisp as a pencil snapping. The bodyguard's leg was bent at an extremely unnatural angle, like a toy building block sold outside an elementary school, carelessly played with.
Then he turned to the second person, grasped his wrist, and gently bent it in the opposite direction.
The same cracking sound rang out.
The third person stood a little distance away, and Lu Mingfei tilted his head to look at him for a moment.
"Since the previous two were like that, then for you... let's make it more symmetrical."
He pressed both hands against the sides of the other person's knees at the same time.
Then—they gently closed together.
Like the sound of ice cracking in silence, the sound of bones breaking was subtle yet continuous.
The bodyguard's legs suddenly folded together, his legs twisted ninety degrees below the knees in a bizarre manner, and his whole body instantly collapsed into a distorted shape.
Like a marionette that has been carelessly twisted and broken by a child.
Throughout the entire process, the three bodyguards only had time to twitch their eyelids, and couldn't even blink.
