Chapter 201: Chapter 0201: The Storm is Brewing (Part 1)_1
Night, deathly still.
A certain basement.
Skeleton, clad in a black robe, stood in front of more than thirty Men in Black, his eerie green gaze sweeping over them.
Most of these Men in Black were expressionless, seemingly zombie-like.
Suddenly, Skeleton slammed his palm violently into the chest of one of the Men in Black, sending him flying four meters away with the force of the attack.
Ordinary people would be either dead or injured from such a blow, yet the Man in Black quickly rose to his feet without any sign of distress.
Astonished, Angel watched from the side.
These warriors were like war machines, oblivious to pain; it was a mystery how the organization had managed to train them.
Skeleton nodded, seemingly satisfied, and then turned to leave.
Angel followed him, walking out of the basement.
At that moment, the telephone began to ring.
Skeleton answered the call, listened to the report from the other end, and said, “I know,” then hung up the phone.
“Leader, has something happened?” Angel asked.
“We’ve encountered an opponent,” Skeleton said, his voice still nonchalant, but Angel sensed concern in it.
“What kind of opponent?”
“One that gave you trouble before.”
“Is it him?”
Angel instantly recalled the man in the woods who had stripped her and interrogated her. Remembering him filled her with both hatred and fear.
After a moment of silence, Skeleton took out a dossier and handed it to Angel.
Angel took it and instantly frowned upon looking at it.
It was the file of Du Yuehua.
“Kidnap this woman, but remember, do not harm her life,” Skeleton ordered.
“Where shall I take her?”
“Just kidnap her, and I’ll direct your next move when the time comes,” Skeleton said indifferently.
“Yes, Leader.”
“Go!”
As Angel walked away, she examined the file in her hand, puzzled as to why the Leader would want to kidnap this woman.
Hadn’t he told her not to touch her in the past?
The thought of kidnapping this woman gave her a headache.
This Du Yuehua was that man’s partner; if she were to be kidnapped, who knew how that man would retaliate against her.
Starting to feel a headache, she found comfort in the thought of Skeleton standing beside her.
Compared to the despicable man who was like a demon, she trusted in Skeleton, who was omnipotent, like a god.
Having stayed by Skeleton’s side for so long, she had never seen him fail to handle any matter.
These two men, oh no, Angel still didn’t know whether Skeleton was male or female. The clash between these two was sure to be an interesting show.
After Angel left, Skeleton returned to the room and took out a phone to make a call.
“Brother was killed, you’ve always wanted revenge, right? Now I’m giving you a chance. Just help me with one thing, and I’ll give you the antidote,” Skeleton said.
“What do I need to do?” A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Help me catch someone…”
After hanging up, Skeleton made two more calls to summon two powerful reinforcements.
This battle had to be fought with full force, no room for loss.
After finishing the calls, Skeleton finally breathed easier.
Looking at the reflection of a figure who was neither human nor ghoul in the mirror, Skeleton murmured, “Reaper, you are very powerful, but you have a fatal weakness, which is the many women by your side… Your ties are your Achilles’ heel.”
…
The car was driving on the road.
Ye Xiong took out his phone and made a call.
“Chen Xiao, haven’t you arrived yet… At the airport, that’s good, you’re just in time, I need your help.”
“Phoenix, where are you now… Get on the vehicle and head back to Jiangnan immediately, I need help, and ask Vermilion Bird to come with you…”
“Lu Long… it’s Instructor…”
Ye Xiong made a lot of calls in quick succession. Luo Weiwei had never seen such a serious expression on his face before, and she asked, “Are you looking for support?”
“Without support, I don’t stand a chance,” Ye Xiong replied.
“Isn’t that an exaggeration!”
“That’s because you don’t know who we’re going to face?”
In his life, Ye Xiong had never felt such dread towards anyone, except for Skeleton.
After several confrontations, Skeleton always managed to retreat unscathed under his hands, and this was without transforming. If he transformed, Ye Xiong would have no chance of winning.
Moreover, he wasn’t a third-generation Gene Warrior, but a second-generation one.
Unless Ye Xiong also transformed, but he had no control over his Transformation, and he would definitely not choose to transform unless absolutely necessary.
Luo Weiwei asked curiously, “Weren’t you very confident during your speech just now?”
“If even I, the commander of the operation, lack confidence, then which of the police officers would dare make a move?”
“That’s true.”
Ye Xiong thought for a moment and then suddenly smiled, “Weiwei, if I died, would you be sad?”
“Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?” Luo Weiwei looked at him strangely, feeling increasingly uneasy.
“I feel like I might be in trouble. We just got together, and if something happened, wouldn’t that be a great loss? So I was wondering, could you kiss me, just so I wouldn’t die with any regrets?” Ye Xiong said earnestly.
“Get lost!”
She thought he was trying to scare her into kissing him. Dream on.
“You really won’t kiss me? Otherwise, there might not be a chance later,” Ye Xiong continued.
“Stop dreaming.”
“Will you kiss me or not?”
“No.”
Amidst Ye Xiong’s teasing, their car soon arrived at a villa in the suburbs.
The villa was relatively isolated, with the surroundings quite open and devoid of residents; it seemed to have a good location.
Easy to defend, hard to attack, and even if a battle broke out, it wouldn’t affect the residents.
From a distance, their car was stopped. Once Luo Weiwei showed her credentials, a few police officers let her through.
All along the way, there were many police officers on guard. Ye Xiong roughly estimated that, excluding the officers inside the villa, there were as many as thirty to forty on the outside alone.
“There’s something I forgot to tell you,” Luo Weiwei suddenly said.
“What is it?”
“Du Yuehua’s daughter, Ruan Youyou, is also a target. She’s in the villa right now. Du Yuehua is afraid her daughter will be uncomfortable, so she has been staying with her in the villa,” Luo Weiwei explained.
“Sister Hua is inside?” Ye Xiong was startled.
“You haven’t seen each other for so long, go and have a warm time with her when we get there,” Luo Weiwei said sourly, somewhat gloatingly continuing, “Assuming you still have the strength for that.”
Just now, when Luo Weiwei was at home, she had drained him several times. That must have been why.
Ye Xiong gave a wry smile; she really thought he was the kind of man whose hormones were in overdrive twenty hours a day.
In such an urgent situation, even if he hadn’t been making love with Luo Weiwei, he would have no mood to do that with Du Yuehua!
“Which room is she in?” Ye Xiong asked.
“Second floor, the first room.”
Inside the house, there were still many police officers. As they went upstairs, Ye Xiong knocked lightly on the room door, and a familiar figure appeared before them.
It seemed like he hadn’t seen Sister Hua for a while; she looked somewhat haggard.
