"Copy that!"
Virgo's and Wang Hao's voices rang out simultaneously through the earpieces.
They exchanged a glance and, without a word, both pulled out grappling hooks.
One end was secured to the edge of the rooftop, the other tied around their waists.
Once they confirmed the lines were secure, they leaped off together.
Su Ling was the eldest daughter of Su Corporation and its true power holder at present.
According to their investigation, Su Ling was working late at the company, on the fortieth floor.
Since you harmed the person Fate Lord cherished most, we would strike back in the same way!
They descended rapidly, each kick against the windows perfectly timed, a unique rhythm flowing between them.
Virgo was somewhat surprised. She had not expected Wang Hao to keep up with her pace.
Soon, the fortieth floor was within reach.
"Get ready."
Virgo spoke, and Wang Hao's eyes turned cold.
"Break!"
"Crash—!"
The building's glass shattered instantly. At the same moment, two stun grenades were hurled inside.
"Ding! Buzz!"
Before the lobby security guards even understood what had happened, they were already dizzy and disoriented.
Wang Hao took the lead, raising his M14 and firing precise shots at every target.
Naturally, there was no bloody scene. The ammunition they used against these unsuspecting people was specially made tranquilizer rounds.
Virgo followed behind Wang Hao, maintaining a solid firing line with him and covering the gaps at his back.
"Lobby cleared." Wang Hao swept his gaze ahead, confirming that no targets remained standing.
"Confirmed. Advance." Virgo's sharp eyes scanned the lobby before she gave the order.
One in front, one behind, covering each other's shots.
Their movements flowed seamlessly, as though they were old partners who had worked together for years.
Every sweep, every clearance, every bit of coordination was flawless.
At last, they reached the CEO's office.
Wang Hao raised his right hand, signaling them to stop.
Such a huge commotion could not possibly have gone unnoticed, yet there seemed to be no movement at all inside the CEO's office.
Wang Hao cautiously pressed himself against the door and listened for sounds within.
Suddenly, a violent sense of dread rose in his heart. Virgo behind him likewise detected a concealed fluctuation of True Qi.
"Watch out!"
Virgo grabbed Wang Hao by the back of his collar. The instant she yanked him away, a golden dragon-shaped burst of True Qi roared through the door!
The massive explosion of True Qi rattled Wang Hao's organs, leaving him in agonizing pain.
"Cough!" Blood spilled from his throat.
"You two dared to break into Su Corporation? Tired of living?" A frivolous, mocking voice rang out. "Remember this—the one killing you is Lin Xiu!"
Wang Hao and Virgo looked up to see a handsome young man in a suit staring down at them with utter disdain.
The corners of his mouth were lifted in a signature crooked, wicked smile.
Without exchanging a word, Wang Hao and Virgo raised their M14s together.
The smile vanished from Lin Xiu's face. The instant they raised their guns, his body disappeared like a ghost.
Virgo frowned deeply. She had not expected Su Ling to have a Lesser Grandmaster at her side—and not an ordinary one at that.
"Rat-a-tat-tat!"
A barrage of bullets swept out, but every shot missed.
"Clack."
Wang Hao tossed his M14 onto the ground. "As expected, using firearms against a grandmaster indoors is still too difficult."
"Agreed." Virgo discarded her gun as well.
Almost at the same time, the two assumed their opening stances.
"Thud."
With a muffled impact, the three clashed.
Their eyes brimmed with icy killing intent.
Within two or three breaths, they exchanged no fewer than a hundred moves.
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 became. Lin Xiu was facing two opponents alone, yet he seemed to be growing stronger...
What the hell was this?!
"Boom!"
The three exchanged a blow, all staggering backward with heavy steps.
Only after taking several hard stomps did they steady themselves.
By now, Lin Xiu had long since put away his contempt. One Half-Step Grandmaster and one Lesser Grandmaster—such a lineup was nothing short of extravagant.
He would bet that any young member of the current generation standing here today would have died!
"Who are you people? With strength like this, why hide your faces?" Lin Xiu's gaze was unfriendly.
Neither Wang Hao nor Virgo spoke. Only a lunatic would waste words talking to him.
"Not talking? Heh. Looks like your master trained you two well." A mocking curve touched Lin Xiu's lips.
Wang Hao slightly turned his head toward Virgo and pointed at Lin Xiu, only to see her subtly shake her head.
Their rough exchange of looks and gestures went like this—
Wang Hao: He's acting so smug. Can we kill him?
Virgo: Not easy. He's from Dragon King Hall, so he must have a protective spirit artifact.
Wang Hao: Fine. Then how about we take one of his lives first?
Virgo: That works.
Seeing them exchange glances without saying anything, veins bulged on Lin Xiu's forehead. "Hey! You're flirting at a life-or-death moment? Are you looking down on me?"
Wang Hao and Virgo did not waste words. They charged straight at him.
This time, they went all out.
It would be best if they could take Lin Xiu's life. Even if they could not, they still had to thoroughly test his strength.
Virgo formed seals with both hands. In the next instant, pitch-black threads densely spread throughout the room.
In a single moment, they restricted Lin Xiu's movements. Of course, Wang Hao was caught in the same situation.
Yet Wang Hao showed no other reaction. He believed Virgo must have had her reasons for doing this.
It was his habit, born from his loyalty to White Court.
His Young Master was the lord of White Court, so Wang Hao trusted him without condition. And his Young Master trusted Black Palace.
Therefore, Wang Hao unconditionally trusted Black Palace.
Sure enough, the black threads around Wang Hao instantly surged, swiftly propelling him toward Lin Xiu.
At the same time, those threads continued restricting Lin Xiu's movements.
As one side weakened and the other strengthened, the advantage was ours!
A fierce glint flashed through Wang Hao's eyes as milky-white True Qi gathered around his elbow.
"Thud!"
One stomp shook the heavens, and a rising elbow could topple mountains.
The strike carried immense force, blasting toward Lin Xiu like a cannonball.
Unable to break free, Lin Xiu's pupils abruptly contracted as the fear of death descended upon him.
He had never seen Virgo's bizarre methods before!
At that moment, the Jade Pendant at Lin Xiu's waist suddenly erupted with golden light.
Terrifying True Qi surged forth as golden dragons flew wildly about, instantly erasing the black threads while blocking Wang Hao's fatal strike.
Under that immense True Qi, Wang Hao and Virgo were forced steadily backward.
They could also sense an extremely dangerous aura brewing around Lin Xiu.
The two exchanged a glance, then shattered the window and leaped out together, vanishing into the boundless night...
On a floor directly opposite the fortieth floor of the Su Corporation building, a figure held up binoculars and observed everything that had just happened.
