We Agreed on Delta Force, So How Did It Turn into Arknights?

Looking at the gang members from other races, such as the Liberi, after being hit by the sonic shockwave, they only looked somewhat uncomfortable. They were nowhere near being in pain.

Han Fei froze for a moment. Old Black didn't hurt them either, so what's wrong with them?

The next second, Han Fei realized what was going on and recalled a setting.

The Lupos in Arknights were based on gray wolves, and their race was said to have exceptionally keen senses of smell and hearing.

Han Fei vaguely remembered that dogs could hear over ten times better than humans. While Lupos were wolves rather than dogs, they were both canines, so their hearing probably would not be much worse.

"Ah, stop making that noise!"

Lappland raised her head and looked to the sky with a crazed expression, searching for the damned culprit.

Then Han Fei's drone entered her sight. Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, Lappland flung out a slash of blade light, precisely splitting the drone in two.

With the drone destroyed, the sonic shockwave finally ceased. Lappland let out a long breath of relief, then glared furiously at Han Fei. "You really are unpleasant!"

"Then come hit me."

Han Fei blinked, then mockingly held up his shield and swung it in several circles.

—Just like when playing shield dog, constantly shaking the shield to keep the enemy from shooting out the observation window.

"You're really making me angry."

Lappland bared her teeth and raised her twin blades, about to attack.

But Han Fei moved faster. The corner of his lips curled up, and with a hiss of venting air, he raised his great shield and charged straight at Lappland.

Thud!

Fourth time's the charm!

Lappland was sent flying backward once more and slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Protect the young miss!"

The gangsters could no longer sit still. Their young miss had been sent flying like that—four times, no less. If the family head Alberto found out, none of them would escape punishment.

"Get out of my way!"

Lappland shoved aside the gangsters blocking her path. "I don't need your help. Stop getting in my way."

"But, young miss..." someone said worriedly.

They were not idiots. How could they fail to see that Lappland simply could not do anything against that enormous shield?

"I said, get out of my way!"

Lappland's expression darkened.

The Saluzzo Family's enforcers knew their young miss's temper all too well. They immediately fell silent and obediently moved aside.

Lappland stepped out of the crowd, raised her long blade at Han Fei, and said, "You're really making me angry."

"Really? Then I'm starting to get scared."

Han Fei claimed to be afraid, but there was not the slightest trace of fear on his face.

The faint smile at the corner of his mouth especially made Lappland's teeth itch with hatred, and she could not help shouting:

"Just you wait!"

Lappland refused to yield verbally, but her feet did not move at all.

She had no idea what Han Fei's shield was made of. Her long blade, which had always cut through anything in its path, could not sever it—and every time, the shield sent her flying.

"I'm waiting, young miss."

As he spoke, Han Fei took out his grappling gun. "Are you very angry right now?"

Of course he knew Lappland was angry, but without using words to distract her, it would be difficult for the grappling hook to hit.

Lappland raised her blade. "I'm going to slice you into a thousand layers!"

The moment she finished speaking, a grappling hook shot out from behind the shield and hooked precisely onto Lappland's belt.

This was not the first time Lappland had encountered this move. Last time, she had been ambushed and had not even gotten up yet, so she had been unable to react.

But this time, Lappland decided to teach Han Fei a lesson and let the bastard know that the same move would not work on her twice!

Instinctively, Lappland raised her blade to cut the grappling line. But when the line yanked backward, she discovered in shock that she seemed to have lost control of her body!

The Girl's Blush Spoke Louder Than a Thousand Words

"Aha, you're in for a big hit!"

The silver-haired girl's pupils contracted sharply—behind the bulletproof-glass observation window, that man with the strange equipment was giving her a smile that could only be called provocative.

Who the hell is this guy?!

That was the last thought that surfaced in Lappland's mind before she was sent flying.

The next second, the world spun around her, and Lappland's silver hair flew wildly in the fierce wind.

When her vision finally focused again, all she could see was a strip of gray sky, cut into a narrow slit by the towering buildings on either side.

Lappland pressed a hand to her forehead, struggling to sit up as she shook her dizzy head. It took a while before her mind cleared again.

As the young miss of the Saluzzo Family, when had Lappland ever suffered such humiliation?

She immediately prepared to stand up and fight Han Fei for another three hundred rounds.

However, the instant her foot touched the ground, an unusual sensation made her entire body stiffen—

?! Where are my shoes?!

She abruptly looked down, her silver hair sweeping out in an arc.

What entered her sight was a pair of feet wrapped in pure white ankle socks, planted bare on the cold, filthy ground. The soles were already stained with grime, turning her little white socks into yin-yang socks with black-gray dust.

—White on top, black underneath.

"..."

Lappland unconsciously ground her canine teeth.

She was not stupid. How could she not guess who had done this?

Her own enforcers would never dare offend her in such a way. The rival family's enforcers wanted her life, not her shoes.

Only that weird guy on the other side could be bored enough to do something like this!

A flush appeared on Lappland's fair cheeks—not from shyness, but anger!

"Oh my, why is your little face so red?"

Han Fei, the culprit, acted as though nothing had happened. Feigning concern, he asked, "Don't get worked up. Do you have a fever? Should we call a truce first?"

Lappland gritted her teeth. "Just you wait. If I don't slice you into a thousand layers, then you must have bones of steel!"

As she spoke, Lappland reached for her weapons.

But the moment she stretched out her hand, she realized something was wrong.

"Siracusan profanity, where are my blades?!"

A Saluzzo Family enforcer cautiously said, "Young miss, that person took your blades too."

"What do you mean, took?"

Han Fei was displeased and immediately retorted, "I picked them up."

Lappland flew into a rage. "Siracusan profanity, give me back my blades, and my shoes too!"

"No."

Han Fei snorted. "Give them back so you can use those blades to chop me up again? I'm not an idiot. Besides, once something's in my hands, it's mine!"

"Siracusan profanity."

It was not hard to tell that Lappland was truly furious.

But that was only natural. When fighting a shield dog, who could avoid getting heated?

Han Fei was a fully built shield dog, after all!

Against a shield dog this powerful, anyone would get heated after fighting him.

Han Fei blinked, and his tone suddenly softened. "Baby."

Lappland froze for a moment, then looked at Han Fei with utter disgust. "Who's your baby?"

The girl's disgusted expression only made Han Fei more excited. "Baby, you know that when you curse, it sounds like you're acting cute."

"Siracusan profanity, just you wait!"

That taunt made Lappland so furious that her fur literally stood on end. She grabbed one of her subordinates' blades and prepared to attack Han Fei.

But at that moment, sirens suddenly blared outside.

The shrill, urgent sirens made both sides, who had still been fighting, stop at the same time. Among the gangsters in black suits, the side that had attacked first, someone shouted, "Fall back first!"

Han Fei had been planning to tease Lappland a little longer, but when both sides stopped fighting, he began to think about retreating as well.

He had never wanted to clash with Lappland and her family in the first place. Now that the gang brawl was over, if he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would become the Saluzzo Family's primary target.

At that moment, a man in a black suit walked up to Han Fei. "Sir, if you do not mind, please leave with us. We have all witnessed your abilities. Everything just now was a misunderstanding. We are members of the Texas Family. I am willing to vouch for you and introduce you to our family head, Giuseppe Texas."

Han Fei had not been interested in the man's proposal, but the moment he heard that they were from the Texas Family, he immediately changed his mind. "Lead the way."

"Stop!"

Lappland did not want Han Fei to slip away just like that—her blades and shoes were still in his hands!

"Baby, don't chase me. I'm the man you can never have."

As he spoke, Han Fei pulled the Crouching Tiger Cannon from his waist. Its barrel glinted with a cold metallic sheen beneath the sunlight.

"Try this!"

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger—

Bang!

A compressed-air shell screamed out, slamming into the ground before Lappland like a silver bolt of lightning. It then ricocheted upward at a tricky angle, shooting straight toward the silver-haired girl's face!

Lappland's pupils shrank sharply. Her beastlike instincts made her dive left at the very last moment.

The shell grazed the tips of her hair, and the gust it created swept up her silver locks, carving a sharp arc through the air.

BOOM—!

The shell landed precisely amid the dense crowd, erupting with a shocking blast wave. The Saluzzo Family's enforcers fell in droves like wheat swept down by a hurricane.

Lappland rose to her feet and watched her family's enforcers collapse in waves. The anger in her heart instantly reached its peak.

Lappland had never cared much about the lives of the family's enforcers, but she could not pretend nothing had happened when someone slaughtered her subordinates right before her eyes.

Yet the next second, Lappland noticed something was wrong.

The enforcers sprawled on the ground were groaning as they climbed back to their feet.

Only then did Lappland realize that the explosion had not taken a single enforcer's life. Forget killing them—it had not even left a wound.

In that moment, the anger in the girl's heart vanished completely.

"What? I thought that bastard had finally lost his patience."

Lappland was not stupid. Naturally, she could tell that Han Fei had been holding back the whole time.

For one thing, Han Fei had killed people with a gun before, yet when fighting her, he had never taken that gun out.

Lappland did not think Han Fei had refrained from using it because he had run out of bullets. How could someone armed to the teeth make such a basic mistake as forgetting ammunition?

He simply did not want to hurt her.

"What a strange guy."

Lappland sighed, then suddenly realized something was wrong—

My shoes and blades are still with that bastard!

Lappland ran out barefoot. Just as she reached the intersection, an engine suddenly roared, and a black luxury sedan bearing the Texas Family crest braked sharply before her. The window rolled down, revealing the grim face of an iron-fisted boss.

"Saluzzo's little lunatic, this is Columbia, not Siracusa. The Texas Family is not to be trifled with. Next time we meet, we'll let you know the consequences of provoking us."

Giuseppe Texas
