The howling wind whipped past He Ao's ears.
He Ao did not really understand why Selina was driving so fast without putting the top up.
Maybe that was the joy of a sports car.
He Ao only felt a little carsick.
Amid the mad rush, He Ao suddenly remembered something. Looking at Selina, he shouted, "What rank are you?"
"Me?" Selina's sound-wave receiver could pick up even the faintest sounds, so He Ao did not need to shout for her to hear him. Still, she smiled and shouted back, "I just reached Rank D!"
"What?"
He Ao felt that he had not heard her clearly.
"I said I just reached Rank D!"
Selina shouted again.
He Ao: ???
You had just reached Rank D, yet you were taking an Rank F rookie who had already used up his skill to challenge a top-tier Rank D boss?
Where did that confidence come from?
Without the slightest hesitation, He Ao raised his wristband and began setting it up.
"What are you doing?!"
Selina glanced over and shouted.
"Give me Smith's number," He Ao replied. "I'm setting him as an emergency contact! If we can't beat it, we can call for backup!"
Selina froze for a moment. Looking at He Ao, she gave him a reassuring smile.
She could also call Smith with one button, but if she had had a teammate like this when they went after Yezuola, perhaps she would not have ended up in such danger.
Although Yezuola had not killed her in the end and had even saved her, the feeling of being betrayed by a teammate and having her life and death controlled by someone else had not been pleasant.
With one hand on the steering wheel, she turned to He Ao and laughed loudly. "I sent it to you!"
"Watch the road when you're driving!!!!!"
He Ao was stunned.

"Is this really a 'waiter'?"
The man holding a briefcase swallowed hard, staring fixedly at the test tube wrapped in silver metal in the Red Skirt Woman's hand.
"More precisely, this is a prepared 'waiter' secret potion." The woman tucked the test tube away. "Drink this, and you can become Talent Sequence 34: Waiter and advance smoothly to Rank E."
"I want it, I want it." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his briefcase, and took out an ultra-thin tablet computer. "I'll transfer the money to you right away."
At that moment, the man noticed the woman's voluptuous, seductive figure. He paused as powerful desire battered his reason again and again, then asked tentatively, "I wonder if I could..."
The woman raised an index finger and gently pressed it to her vivid red lips. Pearly white teeth showed faintly through them.
"In your case," she said, watching the disappointment gradually appear on the man's face. Then she gave him a bewitching smile, like a blooming rose. "It costs extra."
"I'll pay! I'll pay! I'll add two thousand! Your payment address hasn't changed, right?!"
The man's hands trembled with excitement.
Seeing that the woman did not object, he quickly opened the computer, verified the key, and swiftly completed the transfer.
"Are you sure you want to take the 'waiter' path?"
The woman looked at the man with a playful grin, her eyes brimming with mockery.
"Yes, yes! Is there something wrong with it?"
Staring at the wine-red bodycon skirt and her alluring, graceful figure, the man felt his entire body burn.
"No, it's wonderful."
The woman held the test tube between her index and middle fingers, gently swayed it, then slowly tucked it back into the center of her cleavage. Bending slightly, she pressed her cheek close to the man's. "So, will you use the secret potion first, or... use... me first?"
"Ah!"
Unable to endure the teasing any longer, the man pounced like a beast and roughly pinned the woman against the wall.
Her glistening skin flushed a tender pink beneath the rough pressure.
"Hahaha."
The woman laughed as though she had encountered the happiest thing in the world.
Bang-- bang-- bang--
Cold footsteps shattered the increasingly heated atmosphere.
A figure entirely shrouded in a black hood approached from afar, step by step, drawing closer to the pair.
A terrifying, savage pressure instantly descended upon them both.
Provoked by that savage pressure, the man instantly grew violent. He rose in a fury and charged at the hooded figure.
"What the hell are you? Get lost. Don't disturb me."
He raised a hand to slap the hooded figure.
However, the hooded figure moved faster. He slapped the man's face, shattering his skull and sending him flying into the wall.
Bright red blood splashed out in that instant, spraying across the black hood.
The newcomer slowly removed the hood, revealing a gaunt, deathly pale face beneath it.
He looked at the disheveled Red Skirt Woman leaning against the wall and slightly opened his mouth. His voice sounded like a hoarse beast growling under its breath. "Long time no see."
The next second, he appeared before the woman. He seized her throat and forcibly lifted her into the air.
The woman's face quickly reddened, then turned blue-purple.
"Let her go!"
A tall figure rushed in at once, raising a gun at the hooded man.
"I think we could have waited until the encirclement was in place."
He Ao panted as he caught up. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he suddenly froze as memories surged into his mind.
He shook those memories from his head and looked again at Selina, who had rushed ahead, and the hooded man—or rather, Mu Xiu.
On the way over, once he had confirmed that the location had not moved, he had already contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and officers from the Dawn City Police Department had begun setting up an encirclement. Selina rushing in now was inevitably unwise.
There was nothing wrong with this girl except that she was too kind.
He Ao was quite calm. He would have loved to see the Red Skirt Woman fight Mu Xiu. In one sentence, the Red Skirt Woman looked like this:
This dame did not look like a good person.
Mu Xiu glanced at Selina charging toward him, then at the Red Skirt Woman in his grasp, who seemed to be on the verge of death. Without hesitation, he released her, charged to the side, smashed a hole through the wall, and fled.
Seizing the opportunity, He Ao rushed to the Red Skirt Woman's side, took out the Electromagnetic Handcuffs he carried with him, and cuffed her.
Selina swiftly chased after Mu Xiu as well.
After cuffing the Red Skirt Woman, He Ao relaxed slightly. He stood and looked at the silver handgun in his hand. Selina had just given it to him for self-defense.
It was much larger than an ordinary handgun: a Gauss Gun that used electromagnetism to accelerate its bullets, with damage far exceeding that of a normal pistol.
He could not keep up with Selina's speed, so they had agreed from the start that if the Red Skirt Woman was still alive, he would guard her until the main force arrived.
Just as He Ao examined the pistol, a slender arm suddenly draped itself over his shoulder. "Little brother, what are you looking at?"
The beauty's breath was like orchids.
He Ao's entire body stiffened.
