[Han Feng's Finale]

Bar!

After finishing her drum set, Ye Yun followed the waiter's guidance to a seat across from a middle-aged man with stubble and sunglasses. She sat down and quietly watched him.

Duyizhi's Han Feng.

"Miss Ye!" Han Feng's lips curled into a faint smile. "It's really not easy to see you."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Ye Yun had no intention of continuing the conversation with Han Feng.

"I think we have a chance to cooperate, Miss Ye." Han Feng wasn't angered by Ye Yun's rudeness. "We need the computer in Professor Jian's hands. Would Miss Ye be interested?"

"No interest."

Ye Yun turned her head to the other side, her voice utterly cold.

"Miss Ye, we Intelligent Beings are born free, but humans look down on us, treating us like toys, kicking us aside when they're tired of us. Don't you think human behavior shows they don't regard us Intelligent Beings as lives at all?"

Han Feng looked at Ye Yun before him and said, "We sincerely want to cooperate with Miss Ye. As long as you hand over Professor Jian's computer to us, we promise not to disturb your life. The doors of Duyizhi are always open for you."

"Splash!"

The next moment, Ye Yun stood up from her seat, picked up the wine glass on the table, and splashed the liquor onto Han Feng's face. Her icy voice echoed in people's ears: "If you dare to harm my mom, I'll make sure you're doomed for eternity."

With that.

Ye Yun slammed the glass heavily onto the table, turned, and walked past Han Feng out of the bar.

How could she not hear it?

The threat hidden in Han Feng's words.

"Start the operation."

Han Feng spread his hands and shrugged noncommittally. Since you're so blind to reason, don't blame us for not giving you face.

He stood up from his chair, pulled a tissue from the table, wiped the wine stains off his face and clothes, his eyes full of gloom, and strode out through the emergency exit.

Refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. Let's see who ends up regretting it.

"Open fire."

The moment Han Feng stepped out of the bar, he heard a cold voice.

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

Dense gunfire erupted. The instant Han Feng heard it, he relied on his powerful instincts to swiftly dodge the incoming bullets.

After finding cover, his eyes were filled with gloom. That damned little girl Ye Yun had actually sold him out.

Sure enough, anyone who could reason with the world was a bunch of bastards.

Bullets rippled through the air, moving so fast that no one could track their trajectory. Even though Han Feng was a high-end custom AIP Intelligent Being, he couldn't track the bullets' flight path.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bullets struck the ground in front of him, kicking up dense clouds of dust.

This alley wasn't made of high-tech glass, but concrete.

"Bastard."

A shield of energy appeared in his hand. He stepped forward and charged out, a pistol appearing in his other hand, firing bullet after bullet at those disgusting hunting dogs.

"Boom."

"Boom."

"Boom."

One after another, dull roars like cannon fire echoed through the alley.

Bullets larger and faster than ordinary rounds slammed into the shield in front of Han Feng, cracking the energy shield, but it quickly restored itself.

This also caused Han Feng's energy shield to display a red countdown timer.

"Where do you think you're running this time?"

A cold voice sounded behind Han Feng. He turned his head and saw a youth in a combat uniform wielding a laser sword, leaping toward him. The laser sword traced a graceful arc through the air.

Seeing this, he sidestepped slightly. The laser sword grazed his arm and fell, slashing into the cold ground, carving a trench into the earth.

His left hand's energy shield was counting down ten seconds. His pistol shifted targets, firing at the hunting dog ambushing him from behind.

It was very possible that Ye Yun hadn't sold him out—this hunting dog had recognized him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The unique sound of the pistol rang through the alley. Bullets left the chamber, aimed at Zhuo Ran's chest, head, and feet.

Instinct warned Zhuo Ran that he absolutely couldn't keep attacking now.

He rolled, dodging the bullets Han Feng fired at him, and pressed forward, trying to engage Han Feng in close combat.

Han Feng's eyes flickered. He glanced at the energy shield about to expire, then at the alley that was nearly a dead end. He retracted his energy shield and swung a powerful, heavy roundhouse kick at the charging Zhuo Ran.

Seeing the whistling kick coming, Zhuo Ran raised his laser sword and slashed at Han Feng's leg.

"Cease fire."

Seeing that Zhuo Ran was already locked in combat with Han Feng, Qi Yang immediately called a halt to the firepower, cradling a sniper rifle in his arms as he said, "The front gate team, press in. Trap Han Feng dead in this alley."

"Rear squad becomes the vanguard. Stay alert—watch for these bastards to have backup and ambush us."

Lin Ji, the Intelligence Hunting Group captain, harbored a deep hatred for these Intelligent Beings, especially Duyizhi's models. These bastards had slaughtered who knew how many of their brothers.

And they knew the Intelligent Beings' combat tactics well—there would definitely be someone coming to back them up.

So they had to be fully prepared.

"Front gate team in position."

A voice came through the earpiece from the front gate squad.

"Move."

Lin Ji flicked his wrist, and a Laser Sword materialized in his hand. He exchanged a glance with Qi Yang, then charged without hesitation toward Han Feng, who was tangled up with Zhuo Ran.

"Humans—utterly shameless and despicable, every last one of you."

Seeing so many people ganging up on him, Han Feng was fuming with rage, smoke practically pouring from his ears. You bunch of shameless bastards.

He was a high-end custom AIP Intelligent Being, but combat wasn't his forte—he excelled at pulling strings from behind the scenes.

With Lin Ji and the others boosted by their combat suits, the pressure on him skyrocketed.

"Against scum like you, shameless or not doesn't matter. What matters is wiping you out."

Captain Lin Ji leaped into the air, gripping his Laser Sword with both hands, and slashed down at Han Feng's head.

Zhuo Ran, meanwhile, aimed his Laser Sword at Han Feng's lower body.

Han Feng stamped the ground, launching himself into the air, twisting sideways to narrowly dodge both attacks, and threw a punch at the youth he'd never seen before.

Seeing Han Feng charging with murderous intent, Zhuo Ran didn't dodge or evade—he met the fist head-on with his own.

Thud.

Iron fist met flesh fist, producing a dull, heavy sound.

Zhuo Ran only heard the crisp crack of his own arm dislocating, then stumbled backward uncontrollably, step after step.

Seeing this foolhardy kid dare to clash head-on with him, a glint of mockery flashed in Han Feng's eyes. He pressed forward, a Laser Sword appearing in his hand as he pressed the attack.

"Kid, get back."

Zhuo Ran saw Han Feng closing in, the Laser Sword rapidly approaching his neck. Gritting his teeth through the pain of his dislocated arm, he tried to dodge—

But found the pain had crippled his mobility.

Just as he thought he'd die fresh out of the gate—

A steady voice rang out beside him. A dark blur flashed past, and a Laser Sword swept aside the weapon about to pierce Zhuo Ran's throat.

"Captain Bai?"

Seeing the man who'd blocked Han Feng's attack for him, Zhuo Ran said in disbelief.

Wasn't Captain Bai off duty? Hadn't they decided not to notify him?

How was he showing up now?

"Hmph. You didn't notify me about such a major operation? I'll deal with you later."

Captain Bai flicked his Laser Sword, staring coldly at Han Feng.

If he hadn't left something at the bureau, he'd never have known about Lin Ji and Qi Yang's operation.

"You really think highly of me."

Caught between Captain Lin and Captain Bai, Han Feng's face darkened with grim seriousness. He glanced at the Laser Sword that had flown out of his hand, grinding his teeth.

One appearance, and he'd drawn the pincer attack of two Hunting Dog brigade commanders.

"Against scum like you, if we don't take it seriously, more people die."

Lin Ji, for some reason, kept spitting out the word "scum" every other sentence, enough to make a listener uncomfortable. His teeth were clenched, his eyes practically spitting fire as he gripped his Laser Sword.

"Surrender now, or I'll blow your head off."

Qi Yang approached slowly, sniper rifle raised, his cold voice echoing through the alley.

"Hah, surrender? Dream on. Even if I die today, I'm taking you all with me."

Han Feng had never imagined that coming to talk things over with Ye Yun would end like this. Two pistols appeared in his hands, and bang bang bang, bullets flew toward Lin Ji and Captain Bai.

If he could kill even one, it would be a huge help.

Boom.

A dull roar rang out. A streak of Flowing Light shot past like lightning.

In an instant, Han Feng's head exploded from a sniper round, electricity crackling and popping incessantly.

His body slowly crumpled to its knees, then, like a pig flopping down to sleep, crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.

One of Duyizhi's head honchos, Han Feng, had met his end.

Originally in the storyline, this guy was a villain who did all kinds of evil, and only got killed off in the later stages.

But now, thanks to the butterfly effect from one Little Butterfly, the Intelligence Hunting Group took him out ahead of schedule.

"Nice shot."

Seeing this, Captain Lin Ji, who had been a beat slow on raising his shield and took a bullet to the gut, curled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and gave Qi Yang a thumbs-up.

One of the Intelligence Hunting Group's major headaches, Big Boss Han Feng of Duyizhi, was finally dead.

"The flair on that shot of yours—not bad."

Captain Bai nodded in approval, reached out to support Captain Lin, and said, "Han Feng, this bastard, is finally dead. Next up are the rest of Duyizhi's scum. They've been running free for three years—it's time to end this."

"Don't celebrate too soon. Our real enemy isn't Han Feng—it's that mongrel Jie Xing."

Captain Lin Ji's voice was thick with hatred as he spoke.

"True."

Hearing that.

Captain Bai fell silent.

Jie Xing was the most formidable enemy they had ever faced, yet they had no effective way to deal with him.
