Rem's Strength

Li Chen stood up, but before he could speak, Rem said, "Master, leave them to me."

"Even though I don't know how strong you are, Master, you don't need to deal with the likes of them yourself."

A horn protruded from Rem's head, and her expression was different from usual, seeming to carry a hint of cruelty.

Whenever she thought of Ram lying in their master's arms, the anger inside her grew a little stronger.

She had to let it out!

Seeing how "angry" she was, Li Chen exchanged a glance with Ram.

Ram said, "Master, please trust Rem."

"All right, but be careful. Don't get hurt."

Li Chen had no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry, Master."

Rem's face was cold as she jumped straight down from upstairs.

Yet her movements were so light that she landed without making a sound, more like a ninja than a real ninja.

As soon as she entered the garden, she vanished from sight.

Ram stood beside Li Chen and asked, "Master, would you like to watch?"

"I can see her, Ram."

Li Chen stroked Ram's pink hair.

With her horn gone, Ram had almost no stamina.

But for a limited time, she could still unleash some fighting power. Wind blade magic was what she did best.

She also had a spell similar to clairvoyance, but she was left defenseless while casting it, which was very dangerous.

Ram didn't make any sharp-tongued remarks this time. Instead, she looked at her master very gently.

Li Chen watched Rem with his super vision.

He couldn't let the little maid get hurt.

Rem had produced a weapon from somewhere: her own meteor hammer.

She gripped the chain and swung the attached thorn-covered iron ball to the side.

"Bang!"

The meteor hammer struck a ninja through the flower bed, knocking him over and leaving his face covered in blood.

"Enemy attack!"

The ninjas were on high alert and immediately sounded the warning.

But it was already too late. Rem first attacked the ninja who had cried out.

In an instant, she leaped over to him.

The ninja was startled by Rem's sudden appearance, especially since she looked frightening in her current state. Only one of her eyes was visible, and a devil-like horn grew from her forehead.

Most importantly, the usual calm had vanished from Rem's face, replaced by a cruel smile and an indescribably ferocious expression.

She was like a different person, a stark contrast to her usual self.

A girl with such a contrasting side had to be very likable, right?

Rem's strength was unquestionably on a whole different level from these ninjas.

Before long, Rem had nearly wiped out the entire ninja squad.

Blood stained Rem's face, and her expression was still terrifying as she looked at the damned ninjas and said, "You're so annoying. You messed up the garden I carefully trimmed."

Although the ninjas were alive, they were no different from dead.

They were all gravely injured, staring in terror at the short demon girl.

"Devil."

Rem grinned wickedly. "I don't want to kill you. I still need to know why you came."

But the ninjas were tougher than expected. Seeing that Rem wanted to take them alive and knowing there was no hope of escape, they took poison and killed themselves.

Their heads lolled one by one, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

"Damn it!"

When Rem realized what had happened, she was furious and blamed herself.

They had come to deal with her master, yet she hadn't found out who the enemy was. How could she not be angry?

"All right, Rem, let's clean this place up."

Ram appeared behind her and gave her a hug.

Feeling that familiar presence, Rem gradually came back to her senses and emerged from her demon form.

"Ram, Ram, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

"No. Master is very pleased."

Ram replied.

There were no secrets before their master.

Ram could sense that Li Chen was immensely powerful and unfathomable.

When the ninjas appeared, Li Chen had probed their minds.

Just as the White Queen had said, when you possessed such great power, it was hard to resist using it.

Even Professor X found that difficult.

With an ability as overpowered as mind reading, in particular, they could know what others were thinking without having to speak to them.

No wonder the White Queen had marveled that she couldn't see through Li Chen.

She was used to using her ability to probe other people's minds, so when she encountered a situation where it didn't work, she naturally felt lost.

That also made her a little more curious about Li Chen.

In a sense, everyone was curious.

These ninjas were all members of the Hand.

Li Chen searched online, but there was very little information about the Hand.

So he called the White Queen.

He and the White Queen had already exchanged numbers, so he could call whenever he needed to.

The White Queen answered quickly. "Li, what is it?"

Li Chen guessed she was still sitting in that room, since he could hear wine being poured.

"Emma Frost, I need information on the Hand."

The White Queen asked curiously, "Did they provoke you?"

"They did something stupid."

Li Chen's casual remark piqued the White Queen's interest.

The White Queen said, "Just tell me about it, and I'll tell you what I know. That's fair."

Li Chen then told Emma Frost, the White Queen, what had just happened.

Emma Frost took a sip of wine and remarked, "Then they're complete idiots."

Even the Hellfire Club didn't dare provoke Li Chen casually, because they didn't know his background or how powerful he was.

But the Hand dared.

This was a case of ignorance breeding fearlessness. They had no idea how much power Li Chen possessed.

"Your turn, Emma Frost."

At Li Chen's words, Emma Frost told him everything she knew, including the location of the Hand's base in Los Angeles.

The Hand was a ninja organization that originated in the island nation.

It had existed for at least several hundred years and had grown into an international organization. It had even changed its name at one point.

By now, it had become a notorious organization of assassins that would do anything for money.

Emma Frost knew so much about it because a Mutant had joined the Hand not long ago.

"Li, if you meet someone, please spare her life."

Emma Frost had a request to make.

"Who?"

Li Chen asked.

"Her name is Psylocke. Her ability is very special."

The White Queen said.

There were too few Mutants, and powerful ones were rarer still. They couldn't afford to lose a single one.

Li Chen thought of the female ninja in the skintight outfit. He hadn't expected her to have joined the Hand.

"If I meet her, I'll spare her life."

Li Chen spoke calmly, but he couldn't guarantee anything else.

He liked enjoying life, but that didn't mean he wouldn't fight back when provoked.
