Instant Kill

"President Chu, General Manager Luo's parents got into a conflict with someone at the park. We just intervened and resolved the matter."

At Lotus Pond Park, a bodyguard assigned to Luo Hua walked to the side and made a phone call to Chu He.

"President Chu, the brothers feel that this matter shouldn't be that simple. It looks like someone was deliberately looking for trouble."

Listening to the news coming from the phone, Chu He let out a sigh of relief.

It's finally here!

"Mm, I understand. I will handle this matter. Go and tell General Manager Luo to spend more time with his parents over the next few days."

"Also, I will be sending several Advanced War Generals over. When they arrive, you will all be responsible for the safety of General Manager Luo and his family."

"For this mission's reward, give everyone an extra bottle of the Jade Dew Wine newly developed by the group. This is a fine wine worth 10 million Huaxia Currency per bottle, and it's a good item for improving one's strength," Chu He instructed.

At a time like this, it was only natural to let Luo Hua know the ins and outs of the situation.

Moreover, once the Planetary Level strength was exposed, the Jade Dew Wine and Heavenly Star Wine could be officially launched.

Huayao Peak summit villa.

"What?"

Li Yao and his wife, Venina, both had somewhat unpleasant expressions on their faces.

"We have no choice. That Jiuzhou Group hired four Advanced War Generals and eight Elementary War Generals for Luo Hua. We simply have no way to arrange enough experts to force a move."

"Jiuzhou Group? Where did this pop up from?" Venina looked puzzled.

Li Yao, meanwhile, was lost in thought as he stared at the bottle of Ginseng Essence Wine on the coffee table.

A company that started out selling wine, with their strongest members being only two War Gods—how did they have the guts to interfere in the affairs of the HR Alliance?

Could there be other forces behind them?

Recalling that Chu He also had a background with the Thunder Dojo, Li Yao felt that something was not quite right.

"How could the Thunder Dojo possibly intervene in this matter? Could it really be that this little bastard doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?"

"Heh!" Seeing that Li Yao was silent, Venina's expression suddenly turned ugly, and she ordered directly, "Go and arrange a meeting for me with the chairman of that Jiuzhou Group. If he doesn't know what's good for him, then there's no need for the Jiuzhou Group to exist."

Hearing the anger in Venina's tone, Li Yao quickly followed up, saying, "That's right! The Luo family really has good luck. Luo Feng just died, and immediately a Jiuzhou Group comes to interfere. Do they really think I, Li Yao, am easy to bully?"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man did not dare to contradict her at all and replied in a low voice.

After the middle-aged man retreated, Li Yao turned to look at Venina, put his arm around her slender waist, and said, "No rush, no rush. We'll just torture them slowly."

"The Jiuzhou Group is nothing. If that Chu He doesn't know what's good for him, we'll uproot the entire Jiuzhou Group to ensure no one else even thinks about interfering."

"Hmph! Luo Hua must have lost his mind, actually thinking that finding some random company would be of any use?"

"If I can't beat his brother, surely I can handle him?"

"Behave yourself!" Venina swatted away Li Yao's wandering hand, rolled her eyes, and swayed her hips as she walked toward the bedroom.

Li Yao picked up the Ginseng Essence Wine on the coffee table as if nothing had happened, downed it in one gulp, and followed Venina into the bedroom.

"Brother Chu!" Luo Hua rushed into Chu He's office. "Brother Chu, that Li Yao is known as the Vulture; you can tell just by the name that he's malicious. You absolutely must not negotiate with him."

Chu He looked up at the anxious Luo Hua and said with a smile, "Xiao Hua, I'll handle this. So what if Li Yao is an Advanced War God?"

"If he dares to defy the world and bully the family of a martial artist, he must pay the price."

"Brother Chu, this is my family's business; there's no need for you to get dragged into this." Luo Hua was touched, but he still tried his best to dissuade him.

"If you call me brother, then it's my business." Chu He spoke with righteous indignation, his gaze sweeping over the few bodyguards who had followed Luo Hua into the room.

"It's the same for everyone. Once you join my Jiuzhou Group, your family affairs are covered by the Jiuzhou Group. As long as you follow the law, if anyone dares to bully you or your family, you can report it, and I will stand up for you."

"Brother Chu." Luo Hua's expression was firm. "If you must go, then I'm going with you!"

"Are you kidding me?" Chu He waved his hand dismissively.

"I'm going there specifically to provoke him and kill Li Yao on the spot. It would be easy to start a fight with you there, but if you got hurt, how would I ever pay back that favor?"

With that thought, Chu He looked at Luo Hua and teased, "Your strength is too low. If a conflict breaks out, I won't be able to protect you."

"Alright, just stay here and wait for my news."

October 25, 2058. Nineteen-year-old Chu He went alone to the 35th floor of the HR Alliance Building.

Inside a conference room, Li Yao, Venina, and the general manager of the building were sitting at the head of the table, sipping wine with indifferent expressions.

"This Passion Fruit Dew actually tastes quite good." Venina set down her Peach Blossom Wine. "I heard these wine recipes were all developed by that Chu He himself. If he's willing to hand over the recipes, it wouldn't be a big deal to spare his life."

"Hahahaha, the Passion Fruit Dew alone isn't enough. He'll have to hand over the recipe for the Ginseng Essence Wine as well."

Li Yao was known as the Vulture, so naturally, he was extremely greedy. Seeing such a meal laid out on the table, how could he possibly resist?

Before Chu He even stepped into the conference room, he heard the couple discussing how to carve up his Jiuzhou Group, and he was so amused he nearly laughed out loud.

They say you can have a wrong name, but never a wrong nickname. The nicknames Vulture and Scorpion really were fitting.

I had intended to stir up trouble myself, but who could have expected such an outcome!

"You really brought this upon yourselves!" Chu He stepped into the conference room, his words instantly igniting the fury of Li Yao and his wife, Venina.

Li Yao slammed his hands on the table and stood up, bellowing, "You little bastard, what did you say?"

"I'm telling you, it's your fath—"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before he could finish, Chu He's pent-up rage erupted, and his Spiritual Force surged. Three Flying Daggers shot toward Li Yao at blinding speed.

With Spiritual Force at the Planetary Level, Li Yao couldn't even see them clearly. His consciousness hadn't even registered the threat, let alone given him time to activate the Black God Set within his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three Flying Daggers—one to the left, one to the right, and one in the center—descended like three meteors falling from the sky. Trailing streams of light, they tore through the void, aiming straight for Li Yao's head.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three sounds of blades piercing flesh rang out in succession, and Li Yao's head exploded instantly.

Red and white matter sprayed everywhere, splashing onto Venina's bright red lips.

"Ah!" A piercing, high-pitched scream erupted, nearly shattering the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room.

Bang!

A single Flying Dagger flashed by, and Venina's head shattered in an instant.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

Chu He swept his gaze toward the person in charge of the HR Alliance Building standing nearby.

The manager was so terrified he dropped to his knees on the spot, wailing, "Pr-President Chu, this was all their decision! It has nothing to do with me, President Chu!"

"Enough!" Chu He frowned. "There's surveillance in this conference room, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The manager nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "I can testify that all of this happened because those two tried to seize your assets, sir."

"Hmm, that's good." Chu He nodded slightly. He copied the surveillance footage onto his Communication Watch and uploaded it to the Martial Artist Forums of the Thunder Dojo, the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, and the HR Alliance.

The matter was resolved perfectly.

Using his Spiritual Force, he retrieved the Black God Set that was slowly emerging from Li Yao's body, then stepped calmly out of the conference room.

Step! Step! Step!

The manager remained on his knees, not daring to even lift his head. Only after listening to the footsteps fade into the distance did he collapse, as if every bone in his body had been pulled out.
