Chapter Thirty-Four

"What's going on?" Ah Wai finally remembered why he had come and asked with a frown.

"I was ambushed when I left the mall just now. I killed six people. Oh, right—the weapon can't be kept either. Destroy this knife too."

Remembering the danger he had just faced, Wang Xuan still felt a little shaken. It had been a matter of life and death. Whether it was when the knife pierced the sole of his shoe or when the machete got stuck in the corpse's shoulder, if he had reacted even a moment slower either time, he would have died without a grave.

He had only survived because he had struck first and suddenly killed three of them. Otherwise, he would have died too!

This matter had to be investigated to the end!

However, his enemies were only the Hong Yi Society and the police. This should have been the work of the Hong Yi Society!

"Arrange for someone to investigate. It should have been done by the Hong Yi Society. Keep an eye on Viper or their Yan Tze Tak, and watch their movements!"

At the mention of this, Wang Xuan's expression immediately darkened.

Investigating it would be easy, but taking revenge would be difficult. It was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

If Viper had really done it, he would definitely hide himself thoroughly during this period, like an old tortoise. He absolutely would not stick his head out of his lair.

But there was no way he could just swallow this loss!

Ah Wai accepted the task and left, but Wang Xuan saw the door of the room where Shen Leman had been hiding open a tiny crack. He instinctively turned his head and slipped into the bathroom.

A burst of giggling came from behind him.

The shower turned on, and warm water poured over his body. Mixed with the blood on him, it streamed down, dyeing the floor red in an instant. It pooled there before flowing out through the drain.

As the water washed over him, Wang Xuan became clean again, inside and out.

At least, that was what he thought.

Mist rose in the bathroom, making his reflection in the mirror somewhat hazy.

Looking at his blurry reflection, images of his several battles flashed through Wang Xuan's mind. He found his state at those moments extremely strange. It was not that he had transformed or become stronger, nor had he learned some peerless martial art.

He simply felt as if he had been able to bring out one hundred percent of his ability without wasting the slightest bit of strength.

It was like how a person had to undergo strict and extensive training before they could relax their entire body while running.

In slow motion, one could see an athlete's cheeks trembling while running a hundred meters. That was the result of relaxing the entire body and using only the legs to exert force.

Someone without professional training, however, would grit their teeth while running a hundred meters, the veins on their face bulging as if that would make them run faster!

During his several battles, Wang Xuan had entered a strange state. Other than killing his opponent and protecting himself, there had been no other negative emotions in his mind. His body had acted entirely on instinct, dodging, blocking, and attacking his opponent at the fastest possible speed, using exactly as much force as needed to achieve the desired effect.

That reaction speed had far exceeded the limits of an ordinary person.

The fear, trembling, weakness, and limpness that ordinary people experienced when facing a crisis between life and death had never appeared in him even once.

As for why this had happened, he had no idea at all.

He had not experienced anything like this during his previous twenty-some years. He really had to thank the fact that public security in his country was so good!

Forget it. If he could not figure it out, he would stop thinking about it. In any case, it was not a bad thing.

But... Wang Xuan looked around the bathroom. I seem to have forgotten to bring in a change of clothes!

There was no helping it. After drying himself, he could only wrap a bath towel around himself hastily before walking out of the bathroom. He had thought about asking Shen Leman to bring him some clothes, but... never mind.

When he opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom, he found Shen Leman leaning against the sofa, gently swirling a glass of red wine in her hand.

Seeing Wang Xuan emerge from the bathroom, Shen Leman slowly stood up. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at his robust body. She walked over to him with a catlike stride. Perhaps because she had been drinking, her gaze was somewhat hazy.

Wang Xuan exhaled heavily.

Hah, women!

You're provoking me again!

Wang Xuan's eyes widened slightly and turned green. He snatched the wineglass from Shen Leman's hand and tipped his head back, downing it in one gulp.

He casually tossed the glass onto the sofa. His gaze grew increasingly dangerous as he bent down and swept Shen Leman up in a princess carry, making her cry out in surprise. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and lightly bit him with her lips carrying a faint scent of alcohol.

"What are you doing?" Shen Leman kept her eyes closed. When Wang Xuan did not pounce on her as expected, she opened them curiously and glanced at him.

"I'm going to make the entire world fall silent. Nothing and no one will be able to stop me!"

The single sentence made Shen Leman laugh again, reminding her of the reckless Ah Wai from earlier.

Amid her laughter, Wang Xuan suppressed his restless emotions and held Shen Leman tightly.

Perhaps today's ambush had filled Shen Leman with fear. At this moment, she had completely lost the reserve she usually maintained.
