Sorry, Madam, What Did You Just Say?
"The murderer?"
Upon hearing this, Rein immediately frowned, a sense of unease rising within him.
Just then, a masked woman dressed in martial arts attire hurriedly ran over from not far away.
Rein glanced at her and recognized her as the noble lady who had sparred with him in the ring yesterday and lost her boxing gloves.
At this moment, Fia's anger was almost uncontrollable. She pointed at Rein and shouted, "Mother, we can't let them go! That guy killed August!"
"."
Rein had no recollection of killing anyone in the past few months.
Since arriving at the "Plague Base," I haven't even left the base, let alone killed anyone.
Upon hearing the beginning of the story, he guessed it was a conspiracy.
Haha, when seduction failed, he resorted to this framing trick?
Rein said to Karl, "Grandpa Tuster, Karl, let's go."
He had no intention of giving these guys a chance to cause trouble. He didn't argue, try to justify himself, or ask any questions. He didn't even glance at the girl, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
However, a moment of doubt flashed through his mind. August? In his memory, it seemed that the eldest son of the Winst Family had that name.
"Oh."
Karl nodded, ignoring the others.
Although he was young, he could sense that these people had ill intentions.
"You can't leave!"
Fia let out another sharp cry.
Karl ignored him and continued to pick up the throttle key and insert it into the ignition of the Steam Boilers, trying to start the engine.
"You, you all!"
Ignored time and again, Fia's face flushed with a strange mix of embarrassment and anger, her eyes narrowing. She, the dignified young lady of the Lopez Family, was being ignored?
But then, an accident happened.
"Smack!"
A loud bang was heard in the air.
A figure flashed past, raised its leg and kicked out, as fast as lightning.
A strong wind swept by, causing the hem of her clothes to flutter lightly.
Looking again, Karl, who was starting the engine, was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto a tent more than ten meters away. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Little Karl!"
Mr. Tuster, who was on the bus, exclaimed in surprise and almost fell off the bus.
Rein was also greatly surprised!
The woman was incredibly fast; he couldn't even keep up with her senses. She was almost twice as fast as yesterday!
Clearly, she broke through her second Gene Locks by taking a magic potion, becoming an "Ascender." Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way there could be such a huge difference.
More importantly, he didn't expect this woman to actually dare to make a move!
The Hunting Camp has the same rules as the City of Radiance: unless it's on the arena, private fights can result in the Weaver of Law killing you on the spot!
"Karl!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Rein flashed to Karl's side and quickly checked his injuries.
The metal plate on her chest was dented from the kick; she hadn't held back at all, clearly intending to kill.
If Karl hadn't still had his mech lining on, that kick would have been far more than just spitting out blood.
After examining Karl and finding his injuries to be non-life-threatening, Rein gave him a healing potion before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Snort!
Seeing this, Fia looked smug: Let's see if you still dare to ignore me?
Hearing the soft snort, Rein turned his head, gave the arrogant woman a cold look, a murderous glint in his eyes, and uttered a low, guttural sound, "Are you looking for death?"
Upon hearing this, Fia was completely unimpressed and gave a provocative sneer.
She then declared with an air of righteous indignation, "Hmph! You murderers, you think you can escape punishment? Impossible!"
Her tone was that of a haughty noblewoman, and full of disdain for Rein's threat.
In her opinion, if her brother hadn't interfered yesterday, she wouldn't have lost at all.
Besides, I've already fused with the Gene Potion today and successfully advanced to the Second Tier Transcendent. Why would I be afraid of you?
Just then, an exaggerated, shocked, and perfectly emotional scream, typical of a wealthy lady, rang out.
"Oh my God!"
Upon seeing this, a smug look flashed across the eyes of the chamber of commerce's wife Fia, but she feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Oh! My dear daughter, how could you hit someone for no reason?"
Feigning anger and shock, she scolded her daughter, "Fia, this is extremely rude of you! Apologize to that boy for your recklessness!"
Despite this, the lady of the merchant guild saw no sincerity whatsoever. She knew perfectly well that the young man was the grandson of Tuster, and a cold smile played on her lips.
I tried to reason with you, but you ignored me. Now don't blame me for using underhanded tactics!
However, she still had to maintain her image as a reasonable and understanding person, so she walked over with a concerned expression, as if she wanted to check on Karl's injuries.
"Mother, I did nothing wrong! I will not apologize to them!"
Fia snorted coldly and said, "They killed August and now they want to flee to escape punishment!"
Fia wanted to continue her act, "No, my child, no matter what others do, you shouldn't act like that. You must apologize for your behavior."
"Apologize?"
Rein interrupted the mother and daughter's dramatic performance, a sinister smile appearing on his face unlike anything he had ever shown before. "No, that's fine."
Clearly, he had already guessed that this was most likely a conspiracy targeting old man Tuster.
If the other party dares to use lethal force, they must be fearless and there's no way to avoid it.
Since that's the case
Let me see what this conspiracy looks like.
Once Rein's murderous intent was aroused, he wouldn't hesitate at all!
"Smack!"
With the same explosive sound, Rein's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The bodyguard that Madam Fia brought had been watching Rein closely and immediately noticed the unusual situation, shouting, "Miss, be careful!"
A strong gust of wind was coming, but we were prepared.
Hearing the loud bang, a disdainful smile crept across Fia's lips: As expected, they've arrived!
She didn't even look at the afterimage left behind, but tilted her head slightly and easily dodged the punch that came flying towards her ear.
This kind of punching speed might have been a bit difficult for me to handle yesterday, but now it's not a threat at all!
"Heh, you think you can take that?"
Just then, Fia's expression hardened, and a light blue battle aura-infused veil instantly covered her body.
Then, with incredible speed, she wrapped her hand around the fist she had just dodged, and unleashed a joint lock technique from the ultimate technique "Ten Hands" called "Wrist Lock and Spear Support".
This move locks the opponent's wrist and elbow joints simultaneously, breaking the enemy's arm in one strike!
"We've got them!"
Fia sneered inwardly.
Once she grabs your wrist, her next move will be a secret technique to lock your meridians.
However, the script did not develop in the direction she had expected.
Just as she was about to peel back the layers of Rein's muscles and pinch the deep veins, she found that his muscles seemed to come alive, suddenly swelled up, and squeezed her fingers out!
"What's going on?!"
Fia was startled and before she could react, she suddenly found her wrist was being held in a backward grip.
The same move, [Ten Hands - Wrist Lock and Spear Support]!
Even so, she didn't panic at all. If her opponent could counter her moves, so could she!
Whether it's fighting spirit or physical strength, now that she's advanced to the Second Tier, there's absolutely no reason for her to lose.
But in the next instant, Fia suddenly felt that the hand gripping her was like an iron clamp, and a tremendous force made it impossible for her to break free.
That was a "Monstrous Strength" that left her with absolutely no room to resist!
"What happened? How could his strength suddenly become so great?"
Before Fia could even process the terror in her heart, suddenly!
The hand that was gripping her wrist pulled sharply, and then another hand lifted her elbow out in the opposite direction.
"Don't want!"
Having mastered the [Ten-Handed Wrist-Locked Spear] technique, Fia had no idea what she would face next.
She wanted to cry out, but the capture was so fast that it didn't give her any chance to speak. It lifted her up suddenly, as if it were holding a long-barreled musket.
She had learned many techniques to break free from this locking technique, but at this moment she couldn't use a single one.
She was horrified to discover that no matter how much she struggled, her arms remained under the control of that "Monstrous Strength." She knew very well that it was an absolute crushing force!
How could that be!
Even with Gold Quality potion, First Tier Transcendent being, even Transcendent who advanced purely through strength, could never exert absolute power suppression on a Second Tier [Martial Artist].
In that instant, countless horrified thoughts flashed through Fia's mind.
Her pupils dilated violently with fear, but in that blink of an eye, she heard a "crack" as her bone broke.
Rein actually broke the woman's arm!
Without any hesitation or delay, it was completed in one go!
"Ah"
A heart-wrenching scream rang out, Fia's face turned deathly pale, her forehead beaded with cold sweat.
Standing nearby, watching her daughter's arm break, Madam Fia screamed, "No!"
In the blink of an eye, seeing that the situation was beyond repair, she was overwhelmed with pain. Forgetting all about maintaining her composure, she screamed hysterically, "You damned bastard, how dare you hurt my daughter! I'll kill you!"
The Third Tier guard she brought was also stunned.
No one expected that their young lady would have her arm broken in a single encounter!
He's still just a First Tier Fighter!
That Third Tier guard clearly saw that his young lady was absolutely capable of breaking free from this grappling move, so why did he let that kid break his arm?
Could it be that fear has caused them to lose their ability to respond to emergencies?
Miss shouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Regardless, what's done is done, and as bodyguards, their job is to prevent things from getting worse.
The Third Tier expert was about to make a move when suddenly, something struck his knee, instantly numbing his entire body.
In that frozen moment, Rein, who had broken Fia's arm not far away, did not stop!
He grabbed the broken wall and kicked it hard again.
"Click."
Everyone heard the crisp sound of bones cracking; that Monstrous Strength kick had broken at least several ribs.
Fia was completely stunned by the blow, and spat out a mouthful of blood, soaking a large red patch on her face towel.
Moreover, this kick was extremely tricky, with the toe striking her lower ribs, which was precisely a vital passage for the flow of fighting spirit.
This kick instantly blocked the flow of her battle qi, and the protective battle qi gauze robe she wore also suddenly disappeared.
Haha, this isn't a ring competition.
Since Rein had chosen to go all out, he would leave his enemy no chance. He didn't want to suffer the consequences of trying to kill a snake only to be bitten in return!
The reason why the "Ten Hands" is called the strongest control technique for fighters is because once someone gets stuck on it, they can be controlled until they die!
He broke Fia's arm and then kicked her lungs, all to break her Bodyguard Battle Qi.
In that instant, he clearly felt the girl in his arms go limp.
And that's not all!
If the girl had been sent flying by that kick, she might have had a chance to survive.
Unfortunately, her severed hand was still firmly held in Rein's hand, and was suddenly pulled back!
Rein ignored the noblewoman's threats.
After that kick, he unleashed another deadly move, changing his right hand from a palm to a claw, directly slid it up along the girl's chest, shoving aside her instinctive downward head movement, and then ruthlessly grabbed her neck, lifting her up with one arm.
Now that the fighting spirit gauze was torn, the girl's body was as soft as dough, and Rein's five fingers were like eagle claws, gripping her neck and digging deep into her flesh.
The ultimate move in the [Ten Hands] technique is "Decapitation Strike"!
Not only did they pinch the trachea, but their five fingers also pinched several vital meridians in the neck.
"I told you you're asking for it."
Rein gave her a cold look and repeated a sentence he had said a few seconds earlier.
He said he would do it, and he did it.
This young lady, who was so smug just a moment ago, now looks like a dead dog covered in blood, being twisted and hung in the air.
She looked into Rein's eyes as if she were being stared at by an indescribable Great Terror. The fear of impending death instantly overwhelmed her, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
The wealthy woman standing nearby felt her heart bleed as she watched her daughter suffer such severe injuries.
She could no longer maintain her act and screamed viciously, "You damned bastard, how dare you hurt my daughter! I'll tear you to pieces!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was met with a crisp "crack" sound of bone breaking.
With a sudden tightening of his grip, Rein snapped the girl's neck with Monstrous Strength, as if strangling a hen. The delicate girl didn't even have time to struggle before her limbs fell limply to her sides.
Without the slightest hesitation, his eyes revealed only the cold indifference of someone who kills without hesitation.
After doing all this, Rein turned to look at Madam Fia from the "Sunflower Merchant Guild".
He grinned maliciously and asked, "Oh, excuse me, madam, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
