Inside the pitch-black warehouse, a man in a black coat, his eyes chillingly calm, roared, "Damn it, the deal is off!!"

"Some of our members have gone missing!"

Are you trying to smear us?

From the darkness, a strange figure wearing a black patterned mask stared at the man with bloodshot eyes and sneered, "Heh... I didn't even say whether you stole our goods or not."

"More than a dozen of our henchmen have already lost contact. Are they trying to cut off all future business with us?"

At that moment, several cocking sounds rang out.

The atmosphere between the two sides is already tense.

Just then, a henchman rushed in from outside, his face covered in blood.

His body had even been punched with a large hole, and you could see his intestines inside, which was horrifying.

"A... a monster has broken in."

"Our... goods have all been stolen!!"

Suddenly, his head exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere, and almost everyone in the warehouse had his blood on their face.

The masked man licked the blood that had spilled from his lips, and his mouth slowly began to split open. His gaze fell upon the red phantom standing outside the warehouse in the moonlight.

Thump thump~

Gunshots rang out instantly, and countless black bullets shot towards Li Chen.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Am I too late? Or did this person manage to escape alive?

He hadn't expected that this person could survive in such a state, but right now he still had to deal with those who already knew the goods were missing; he couldn't let any of them escape.

"Vector Domain."

"When all things are weighed for gain and loss, thunder strikes!!"

Li Chen snapped his fingers lightly, and a powerful energy wave instantly surged out from him, covering an area of several kilometers.

Humans can sense and even control any object that can generate energy.

Buzz~

All the incoming bullets hovered in the air, trembling.

In the end, it fell silently.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a clench of his armored hand, almost instantly everyone below the Looking River Realm fell to the ground.

The masked man had naturally heard the noise as well; all his men had died in the blink of an eye, and the newcomer was truly terrifying.

He turned to the still-stunned man in black and said, "Go, you take the goods and leave."

I'll hold this person off.

The man in black nodded, immediately picked up the overturned box from the ground, and quickly left.

Li Chen was about to make a move.

Empty~

A whooshing sound rang out.

The masked man flashed in front of him and kicked him.

With a loud bang, Li Chen was thrown back several meters. He looked at him, and Mo had already revealed himself.

The Withered Sea Realm was not strong in his eyes.

In an era where ability determines one's potential, his abilities and skill level remain unchanged, making him virtually invincible in one-on-one combat.

And there are so many other external factors supporting it.

"Energy erasure."

"Energy Lockdown."

"Open!"

The masked man was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

Li Chen then looked at the people still fleeing not far away, and with a slight flick of his finger, his domain began to shrink like a birdcage.

There's no escaping it.

A moment later, a furious curse rang out.

The man in black, carrying the box, returned to the original spot.

They couldn't get out; he tried with all his might but couldn't move the barrier that was blocking their way.

They could only watch helplessly as the barrier grew smaller and smaller.

Until we return to the starting point.

Moreover, all the energy in their phones was absorbed by the domain, making it impossible for them to contact the outside world.

Knowing he couldn't escape, the man in black looked at Li Chen and roared, "Which faction are you from?!"

"Don't you know that we are the servants of Lust?"

"Aren't you afraid of triggering a second War of Kings by robbing and killing us like this?"

Li Chen did not answer him; his face, hidden by armor, made it impossible to discern his current emotions.

Click~ Click~

A shattering sound rang out.

Tiny fragments appeared around the man in black.

It was followed by a whooshing sound.

The area had quieted down, Li Chen quickly left, clutching a still-pulsating clump of blood in his hand.

In the apartment.

Weiyang placed a pile of blood-stained boxes in Li Chen's apartment, then collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.

Li Chen was taking inventory of all the goods. "A total of 20 boxes of medicine and 40 sets of Chijie Armor."

"Interesting, they actually use armor to exchange for medicine, and then use the medicine to exchange for money, in a cycle."

The Chijie Armor is similar to this type of armor.

However, they are not the same. The Chijie Armor is not very strong, but it can still pose a threat to those Sequence User the Looking River Realm.

This is one of the methods ordinary people use to deal with Sequence User.

After the goods have been inventoried, we need to wait for news.

Lust would naturally notice the loss of goods immediately, after all, it was such a large shipment, all of which were Merit.

The main problem is that the news hasn't spread yet.

Moreover, all those involved in the transactions were disposed of by Li Chen, who destroyed all evidence.

All surveillance cameras were blocked with energy the moment Li Chen appeared, meaning the ambush was a complete success.

We'll see how long it takes before it's exposed.

He didn't plan to take out this batch of drugs right now. After all, Lust had just lost a batch of goods, and if he were to take out an equal amount, wouldn't that be tantamount to slapping him in the face?

The best solution is to give it to Uncle Mu.

Li Chen intends to throw all forces into chaos, while he himself will be the shadow in the darkness.

Otherwise, with its current strength, it would be impossible for it to fight against other forces.

Weiyang was still a little scared and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that Lust will get you caught doing this?"

"I heard Lust Jiaojiao-jie Guy is extremely perverted, he preys on both men and women."

She witnessed the battle.

They were also aware of Li Chen's strength.

However, she was more worried about her own life; she didn't have the strength to face those powerful individuals.

Li Chen walked to the window, his eyes calm, and said, "Afraid? Of course I'm afraid."

"But rather than fearing ignorance, I would rather risk my life to fight for my future."

At that moment, a dark figure quietly entered the room.

Uncle Mu emerged from the shadows.

He glanced at the box on the ground and asked, "Didn't we give ourselves away?"

Li Chen nodded.

Uncle Mu pressed down with his palm, and all the boxes sank into the darkness. He slowly said, "Wait for news."

"After tonight, the heat will be on me. You hide for a few days, and once things have calmed down, go and rob the Wrath cargo."

"The more chaotic things are right now, the better."

"Remember, you must not reveal your identity; quite a few people still know you."

Then Uncle Mu disappeared.

Weiyang was somewhat bewildered. How could that person have suddenly disappeared? Moreover, she couldn't quite figure out Li Chen. He had only been awake for a day, so what had he gone through?

Li Chen looked out the window at the snow, which was falling heavier and heavier. The war for the throne had only just begun.
