Chen Wang hadn't expected them to play such elaborate games in Azure Sky daylight.

The women on the ground were tied up, and tied up quite skillfully.

Many people had expressions of both pain and pleasure on their faces, seemingly not from coercion, but from pure enjoyment.

There were candles, whips, and other items on the ground, and many people had whip marks on their bodies.

His target this time was named Ding Mian.

This person had extremely bright eyes, and his whole demeanor resembled that of a wild beast. When he smiled, his teeth were gleaming white, and he seemed to be having a great time.

This person is very influential here, and he has a small armed force under his command. The forces he operates are also in cahoots with the higher-ups of the Shelter.

As soon as Chen Wang appeared in the room, Ding Mian immediately noticed him.

His brow furrowed deeply. "Earth Dragon!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped aside to dodge, then drew a submachine gun.

"There's an assassin!"

Chen Wang was only seven or eight steps away from him. Although his movements were quick, the moment he finished speaking, Chen Wang punched him squarely in the nose! This guy might use fancy tricks, but his physical body was quite strong, and his reflexes were fast.

Even so, Chen Wang still managed to break his nose with a single punch, leaving his entire face caved in!

Then Chen Wang punched him in the chest! With this punch, the man's internal organs were shattered, and he died instantly!

The whole process was extremely fast. Chen Wang was wearing a mask and tactical gear, so his appearance was completely obscured.

By the time those people reacted and broke down the door, Chen Wang had already disappeared, using his ability to Earth Walk to escape!

This was the first time he had used his Earth Walk ability to assassinate someone, and he found it to be extremely effective.

They quickly used their abilities to leave the area, by which time alarms had already been sounded around them.

These people reacted extremely quickly; Ding Mian's thugs swiftly locked down the surrounding area.

Unfortunately, Chen Wang had already left by then.

In the Winter, especially during this crackdown, Third Order Genetic Potion are extremely expensive. In addition, the Steel Body serum is relatively advanced. Therefore, anyone who can afford to spend so much to kill someone at this time must be of very high status, and the person killed must obviously have some skills.

However, Chen Wang was quick and ruthless, killing the man in a single move, cleanly and efficiently.

Chen Wang arrived at Guo Xiaobai's bar and handed over the task in that spacious and bright office.

Guo Xiaobai did not inquire about the specific process.

After using his intelligence network to find out the man's whereabouts and confirm his death, Guo Xiaobai smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you were really efficient."

Chen Wang shrugged, neither confirming nor denying. "Where is the stuff?"

Guo Xiaobai got up, took out a safe from under his desk, opened it, and took out a vial of medicine with the official logo of Morning Star Research Institute on it.

"The Tier 3 potion Steel Body of steel. While becoming steel isn't the norm, Brother Chen, you should still be careful not to turn into a robot in the future," Guo Xiaobai said.

"You look older than me, so stop calling me Brother Chen." Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

"What should I do? You saved my life, so you're like an older brother to me. I can't exactly call you Xiao Chen, can I?" Guo Xiaobai said with a grin.

Chen Wang shook his head, somewhat helplessly, then put away the Steel Body potion and said:

"Introduce me to more of these kinds of tasks. It's good to make money, nothing shameful."

Guo Xiaobai smiled and said, "That's right. These days, if you want to make money, you have to earn extra cash. Killing has always been the oldest profession."

"I'll keep an eye out for you, don't worry."

Guo Xiaobai also receives a cut of the payment for this kind of work, but it comes from the employer.

Just as Chen Wang was about to leave, a man rushed over, looking nervous, with blood on his hands and an extremely solemn expression.

"Brother Xiaobai, something's happened!"

He was somewhat flustered, and when he came in and saw Chen Wang there, he stopped talking abruptly.

Guo Xiaobai waved his hand. "What happened? Brother Chen is no stranger, just tell me."

The man said, "Chen Yan is dead, and her body has been brought here!"

Chen Yan is Guo Xiaobai's female secretary. She is tall and was previously chased by someone, and Chen Wang once saved her.

Guo Xiaobai's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly said to Chen Wang, "Brother Chen, I have something to do, so I won't see you off."

She then quickly followed the man away.

When Chen Wang left the bar, he found a body that had been brought in and was lying on the cold floor of the bar.

It was the female secretary he had saved that day.

Unexpectedly, this person did not die in that turmoil, but was suddenly killed afterwards.

Guo Xiaobai held the female secretary's corpse, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.

Chen Wang suddenly realized something.

The image of him as a drunkard in the past, and the image of him as capable and ambitious later, do not seem to be the same as him.

This is the only way he seems to be showing some genuine emotion, even though he doesn't have much of an expression.

But Chen Wang could sense the sadness in his heart.

"This woman is very important to him."

Chen Wang glanced at it and then left.

People die frequently in the dead of Winter. If he didn't have the strength, he too would become a cold corpse. It is a cruel era.

Although he lived a life of extravagance and debauchery, with fine wine and beautiful women...

He knew that all of this was backed by immense strength; otherwise, he would have been killed long ago, and his body would have disappeared without a trace.

Chen Wang returned to his residence, took out the Steel Body potion and checked it; there was nothing wrong with it.

"Is the Morning Star Research Institute actually for sale to the public? There are leaks everywhere about it."

Chen Wang sighed.

Although this matter had some benefits for him, he still felt a bit annoyed.

Gene Serum are extremely expensive on the Black Market, costing many times more. They might even be leaked from the Morning Star Research Institute by the authorities.

"The market is monopolized, and the occasional drug can be sold at an exorbitant price. Perhaps this is also a tactic."

Chen Wang shook his head and didn't think about it any further.

He took out the medicine and injected it.

He had already learned from Guo Xiaobai about some of the forbidden uses of the Steel Body, and that it did not necessarily turn a person into a metal structure.

After he injected the medicine and endured the excruciating pain, his aura became stronger and his power increased.

Steel Body possesses immense strength and can transform certain parts of the body into steel.

Chen Wang looked down at his Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle.

"Never mind, if this thing were made of iron, I wouldn't feel anything."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wang decided not to turn his body into steel.

This drug can, at certain specific moments, transform the body's torso into steel and metal, and detach it from the body, granting it some mechanical capabilities.

Chen Wang tried it out and found it quite amazing.

"Although gene research may not seem as advanced as cultivation of immortality at present, it has reached a new level in the modification of the human body."

Chen Wang sighed with emotion.
