Dragon King Hall Successor Appears!

"Roger!"

Virgo and Wang Hao's voices rang out simultaneously through the earpiece.

They exchanged a glance, then without a word, both pulled out grappling hooks.

One end locked onto the edge of the rooftop, the other fastened around their waists.

Once they confirmed it was secure, the two leaped off together.

Su Ling—the eldest daughter of Su Corporation, and its current true power—was their target.

According to their investigation, Su Ling was working overtime right now, on the fortieth floor.

Since you dared to harm the one Fate Lord treasures most, we'll strike back with the same means.

They descended the ropes swiftly, each step against the windows perfectly timed, a unique rhythm flowing between them.

This surprised Virgo—she hadn't expected Wang Hao to keep pace with her.

Soon, the fortieth floor was right ahead.

"Ready."

Virgo spoke, and Wang Hao's eyes turned cold.

"Break!"

"Crash—!"

The building's glass shattered instantly, and the moment the window broke, two flashbangs were hurled inside.

"Clang! Buzz!"

The lobby's security guards didn't even know what hit them before dizziness overwhelmed their senses.

Wang Hao charged in first, raising his M14 and picking off each target with precise shots.

Of course, there was no bloodshed—they used specially made tranquilizer rounds on these uninvolved personnel.

Virgo followed behind Wang Hao, forming a solid firing line, covering the gaps at his back.

"Lobby cleared." Wang Hao swept his gaze forward, confirming no targets were still standing.

"Confirmed. Push ahead." Virgo's sharp eyes scanned the lobby before giving the go-ahead.

One ahead, one behind—covering and following up.

Their movements were seamless, like old partners who'd worked together for years.

Every corner cleared, every threat neutralized, their coordination flawless.

Finally, they reached the CEO's office.

Wang Hao raised his right hand, signaling a halt.

Such a commotion couldn't have gone unnoticed, yet the CEO's office seemed utterly still.

Wang Hao pressed his ear carefully to the door, listening for any sound inside.

Suddenly, a jolt of dread surged from his chest. Behind him, Virgo also sensed a faint ripple of True Qi.

"Watch out!"

Virgo grabbed Wang Hao by the back of his collar. The instant she yanked him back, a golden dragon-shaped True Qi burst through the door, roaring!

The massive explosion of True Qi rattled Wang Hao's organs, pain wracking his body.

"Cough—ah!" Blood surged from his throat.

"You two dare to break into Su Corporation? Tired of living?" A cynical, mocking voice rang out. "Remember the names of the ones who kill you—Lin Xiu!"

Wang Hao and Virgo looked up. A handsome young man in a suit stared down at them with utter disdain.

A trademark crooked smirk hung at the corner of his mouth.

Without a word, Wang Hao and Virgo both raised their M14s.

Lin Xiu's smile vanished. The moment they lifted their guns, his figure disappeared like a ghost.

Virgo frowned deeply. She hadn't expected Su Ling to have a Lesser Grandmaster by her side—and not an ordinary one at that.

"Rat-tat-tat!"

A burst of bullets sprayed out, but all of them missed.

"Clatter."

Wang Hao dropped his M14 to the floor. "Yeah, using guns indoors against a Grandmaster is still too tough."

"Right." Virgo dropped her gun too.

Almost simultaneously, both of them assumed their starting stances.

"Thud."

A dull impact rang out as the three clashed.

Their eyes were filled with nothing but icy killing intent.

Two or three breaths later, the three had exchanged no fewer than a hundred blows.

The sounds of air splitting and objects shattering rang out without pause.

The area outside the CEO's office was a complete mess!

Yet the more Wang Hao and Virgo fought, the more alarmed they grew. The Lin Xiu before them, facing two opponents alone, was still faintly growing stronger...

What the hell was this?!

"Boom!"

The three traded a blow, and all of them staggered backward with heavy steps.

They stomped down several times in succession before steadying themselves.

By now, Lin Xiu had long set aside any contempt. A Half-Step Grandmaster and a Lesser Grandmaster—such a lineup was nothing short of extravagant.

He'd bet that if any other young cultivator were here today, they'd be dead!

"Who are you? With strength like this, skulking around hiding your faces." Lin Xiu's gaze turned hostile.

Wang Hao and Virgo said nothing. Only an idiot would bother answering you.

"Not talking, huh? Heh. Looks like your master trained you well." A sneer curled at the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth.

Wang Hao glanced briefly at Virgo and pointed at Lin Xiu, but Virgo gave a slight shake of her head.

Their rough exchange of looks and gestures went something like this—

Wang Hao: He's so cocky. Can we kill him?

Virgo: Not easy. He's from Dragon King Hall, so he's bound to have some guardian spirit artifact.

Wang Hao: Fine. Then how about we at least beat him within an inch of his life?

Virgo: That works.

Seeing the two exchange glances without a word, Lin Xiu's forehead bulged with veins. "Hey! We're at a life-or-death moment and you're making eyes at each other? Are you looking down on me?"

Wang Hao and Virgo didn't waste words. They just went straight in.

This time, they went all out.

If they could take Lin Xiu's life, good. If not, they'd at least thoroughly probe his strength.

Virgo formed hand seals, and in the next instant, countless pitch-black threads filled the space.

In a flash, they restricted Lin Xiu's movements—and Wang Hao's as well.

But Wang Hao showed no change in expression. He trusted that Virgo had her reasons for doing this.

That was his habit, born of his loyalty to White Court.

His Young Master was the Lord of White Court, and he trusted him unconditionally. And his Young Master trusted Black Palace.

So Wang Hao = unconditional trust in Black Palace.

Sure enough, the black threads around Wang Hao surged instantly, propelling him swiftly toward Lin Xiu.

At the same time, those threads continued to bind Lin Xiu's movements.

One side gains, the other loses—advantage is mine!

A ruthless glint flashed in Wang Hao's eyes as milky-white True Qi gathered at his elbow.

"Thud!"

One stomp shook the heavens; an elbow strike could topple a mountain.

The blow was heavy and fierce, like a cannonball slamming straight into Lin Xiu.

Unable to break free, Lin Xiu's pupils shrank sharply as the fear of death gripped his heart.

Virgo's bizarre techniques were unlike anything he'd ever seen!

Just then, the jade pendant at Lin Xiu's waist burst with golden light.

Terrifying True Qi surged forth as golden dragons danced wildly, instantly dissolving the black threads and blocking Wang Hao's lethal strike.

Under that immense True Qi, Wang Hao and Virgo were forced backward.

They could both sense that a dangerously powerful aura was brewing within Lin Xiu.

The two exchanged a glance, then without a word, smashed through the window and vanished into the vast darkness of the night...

On the floor directly opposite the fortieth floor of Su Corporation Tower, a figure stood holding a telescope, observing everything that had just unfolded.
