Clash

Su Wenqian's legs radiated waves of light, and his expression instantly turned ferocious. Rising amid the smoke, he charged fiercely at Xiao Si, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.

As he rushed forward, Su Wenqian opened his mouth as if he were about to roar.

Yet a strange glimmer flickered through Xiao Si's hollow eyes. She vanished from where she stood and appeared beside Su Wenqian the next second, raising her hand and slapping him across the mouth again.

Slap!

The crisp sound echoed endlessly through the conference room.

A distinct handprint appeared on Su Wenqian's face as he was sent flying once more.

But this time, he no longer had the strength to get back up.

Clinging to his last breath, Su Wenqian endured the pain and forced himself not to pass out, glaring venomously at Wang Ye and Xiao Si.

Wang Ye froze for a moment. Seeing Su Wenqian open his mouth again, he could not help rubbing his head.

Sure enough.

Slap!

Another slap landed. Su Wenqian looked at Xiao Si in confusion, seemingly wondering why she had no sense of fair play and would not even give the defeated side a chance to deliver his final words. In the end, he fainted on the floor.

Xiao Si merely tilted her head and silently watched Su Wenqian. After confirming that he would not speak again, she noiselessly returned to stand behind Wang Ye.

If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a beautiful woman could be so violent when she fought.

A faint smile rested on Wang Ye's lips as he sat calmly, as though none of this had anything to do with him.

"Zhou Han, if you use me as a shield again, be careful you don't end up like that guy."

Wang Ye cast Zhou Han a cold glance and spoke blandly.

Zhou Han curled her lips, shot Wang Ye an annoyed glare, and sat down at the side in a huff.

Not far away, the Superhumans who had been watching the show all froze. After exchanging glances, they silently looked away.

But when they looked at Wang Ye, their eyes were filled with wariness.

Wang Ye had handled the last Supernatural Incident with extreme brutality, earning him the respectful title of "Ghost King" from the investigators. What Superhuman was not proud? How could they possibly be comfortable hearing a title like that?

Several people who had originally planned to use this meeting to teach Wang Ye a lesson promptly abandoned the idea after witnessing this scene.

Su Wenqian was someone who had undergone a second Awakening, yet Wang Ye had not even made a move before he was already on his knees.

Using Wang Ye's name to establish their authority in the face of such terrifying strength was wisdom. Charging ahead when they knew they would die was just stupid.

In a corner.

"Can you handle that woman?"

A frail-looking Young Man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled gently as he looked at Xiao Si behind Wang Ye and pushed up his glasses.

Beside him, a Strong Man pondered for a moment. "It'll be difficult. Her physical capabilities are stronger than mine."

"Hehe, even the famous King Kong has someone he acknowledges?" A woman in a sexy low-cut outfit smiled faintly with her red lips.

The Strong Man called King Kong fell silent for once and did not refute her.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses adjusted them, a glint flashing through his eyes.

Just then—

The elevator entrance lit up again.

At the front, an Old Man in a traditional Chinese suit emerged with a dragon-headed cane in hand. He radiated a faint pressure as he walked out with a stern, unsmiling expression.

Behind him followed Zhang Ziliang, a smiling Fat Middle-aged Man, and a man with a bluish birthmark on his face.

Further behind them—

A cold-faced woman in a white lab coat came out carrying a stack of documents.

The Superhumans all turned to look and rose to their feet.

The main figures had arrived.

"That old man is Li Xinghe, the leader of our Heaven Group. They say he's also a Superhuman himself, but no one knows how strong he is."

"And that smiling fat man is Wen Hua, director of the Intelligence Department. Don't let his friendly appearance fool you—he's got a black heart."

"The one with the birthmark is Su Changqing, director of the Action Department. Su Wenqian, the man you just beat up, is his son."

Wang Qiang seemed to know Wang Ye's situation. He took the initiative to stand beside him and introduce them.

After witnessing the strength Wang Ye had just displayed, he had been completely won over.

Wang Ye nodded slightly. "What about that woman?"

"That woman..." Wang Qiang's eyes filled with deep wariness. "She's a demon."

"Her name is Zhang Xiao. She oversees all experimental projects for the Heaven Group. She's hailed as a genius seen only once in a century and spends every day in the laboratory."

"But her test subjects are all ghosts."

"Most of the ghosts we suppress are sent to the laboratory. A lot of people have heard Fierce Ghosts wailing from inside."

As Wang Qiang spoke, he could not help shuddering. "But her contributions have also been enormous. That light barrier around our city is her creation. Otherwise, our city would probably be no different from the Wasteland."

Wang Ye nodded, then glanced at Zhang Xiao again. As if sensing something, Zhang Xiao turned her head from afar, her icy gaze sweeping over Wang Ye before she turned back around.

"Wasteland."

Wang Ye suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

When he had harvested the Thunder Sound Fruit, there had been a note on that ghost's body. After being busy for so long, he had forgotten to read it.

He would have to study it when he got back.

As he thought this, the Superhumans gradually gathered around and took scattered seats at the conference table.

Aside from a small portion of them, most looked rather indifferent.

Although everyone qualified to attend this meeting was an expert among Superhumans, many of them had no interest in forming teams.

Not to mention that the position of captain was practically a pipe dream.

Hadn't they seen how Su Wenqian, who had awakened twice, had been beaten to a pulp?

Other than a few key captain positions, most of the positions had actually already been secretly assigned.

Su Changqing sat at the conference table, glanced around, and frowned slightly.

A Superhuman stepped forward and whispered a few words into Su Changqing's ear.

The next second, a sharp glint flashed through Su Changqing's eyes. He gave Wang Ye a cold look, then snorted. "Wake him up."

The Superhuman nodded slightly, walked over to Su Wenqian, who was unconscious on the floor, and began shaking him repeatedly.

After a long while—

Su Wenqian opened his eyes and instinctively tried to groan.

A spark of life flashed through Xiao Si's hollow eyes behind Wang Ye. She vanished from where she stood.

Then—

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out, and Su Wenqian fainted again in his daze.

Wang Ye awkwardly covered his face, not wanting to say anything.

He had forgotten to change her orders.

Su Changqing's face instantly turned livid. He looked coldly at Wang Ye. "Young man, are you provoking me?"

"Heh. You don't need to lecture my people."

Zhang Ziliang shot Wang Ye a glare and said flatly.

Before the meeting had even begun, the clash between the Logistics Department and the Action Department had already started.
