Maggie's lips trembled slightly. "Hehe, th-this is just a misunderstanding..."
Both Maggie and Sana could not help but feel puzzled... Why was the Hero still acting like such a gentleman?
Why had he not made a move yet?
Seeing his maid tortured into such a state, shouldn't the Hero have been burning with rage and charged straight at the two of them?
Then why had the Hero remained so refined and courteous until now?
Could it be that, actually...
"So it was a misunderstanding?" Qin Chu seemed to believe Maggie and Sana's nonsensical excuse with ease. "Since it was a misunderstanding, can you return Angelica to me?"
"After all, I'd be in quite a bind without Angelica by my side."
Qin Chu opened his mouth to ask Sana and Maggie for Angelica, with no intention of snatching her back.
That behavior made Maggie and Sana increasingly convinced of their own speculation. Perhaps... the Hero was not as powerful as they had imagined.
Though it looked as if a small stone had directly knocked the dagger from Sana's hand, perhaps that was the only move the Hero knew. Perhaps he could only use even that move once in a short period of time.
Other than that, the Hero had no other means of fighting.
Otherwise, he could not possibly still be negotiating with the two of them so pleasantly.
Come to think of it, Qin Chu had only begun learning Battle Qi from Ekaterina that afternoon. Even if the Battle Qi Ekaterina taught him was the highest grade, it was absolutely impossible for Qin Chu to gain strength exceeding the two of them in less than an afternoon.
This man was merely putting on an unfathomable front, trying to lure them into taking the bait and obediently handing Angelica over to him.
In truth, he was no match for them at all.
The more they thought about it, the more the two of them felt their deduction was correct.
The gazes of the two nuns gradually became dangerous, and their auras changed as well. Like fierce gusts of wind, elemental power began spreading over their bodies.
Angelica absolutely could not be returned just like that. Otherwise, she would certainly tell the Hero everything about their plan. Moreover, the Hero had already witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Even if Angelica kept her mouth shut, the Hero already knew something.
No matter how one looked at it, from the moment the Hero appeared, their plan had completely failed. Their master's plan could practically be said to have been entirely exposed.
The only fortunate thing was that they had never mentioned their master's name from beginning to end.
And the only way to salvage this was to make the Hero drink Love That Topples Cities, then use the Mind Manipulation magic scroll to control his consciousness. The Hero would forget everything that had happened during this time.
Then, as long as they killed Angelica, no one would ever know what they had done. This was the only way to make amends.
A gentle smile bloomed across Maggie's face. "Of course, honored Hero, but first, you must agree to one small condition..."
"Could you drink this bottle of beverage? I guarantee it tastes very good." Maggie gently shook the Love That Topples Cities in her hand.
Sana had already begun circling around the other side. The two formed a pincer formation, surrounding Qin Chu in the middle and blocking every possible route of escape.
As they made those moves, they failed to notice that they were getting farther and farther away from Angelica.
Qin Chu wore an expression as though he were looking at idiots. "Please, do you think I'd obediently drink something that looks so obviously bizarre at a glance?"
"Hehe, since Hero refuses to cooperate, we can only use somewhat rougher methods..." Maggie sneered.
The smile on Qin Chu's face grew wider. This was exactly how it should be.
Those two women had finally moved away from Angelica.
If those two bitches had not remained beside Angelica the whole time, too close to her and able to retaliate against her at any moment, Qin Chu would not have bothered wasting words on them.
Maggie and Sana could no longer endure it either. The longer the night, the more dreams it brought. A Hero had already appeared; if they delayed any longer, no one could guarantee what other changes might occur.
Maggie shot Sana a look. Sana understood. With a tap of her toes, two streams of bluish-gray wind swiftly wound around her slender, toned calves. Her body buzzed as she charged at Qin Chu with extreme speed.
Like the other death warriors cultivated by their master, Maggie and Sana were proficient in both magic and martial arts. They cultivated both, and their combat power was exceptionally formidable.
In the blink of an eye, Sana had rushed before Qin Chu.
A savage smile covered her pretty face. Using her right foot as the pivot, she raised her left leg high, spun with the motion, and with a whoosh, swept her long leg directly toward Qin Chu's neck.
That sweeping kick was enough to knock the Hero unconscious.
Sana was brimming with confidence. A mere Hero could never evade this sweep. After all, both of them were already level thirty-five...
Just as Sana had anticipated, the Hero stood motionless in place, as if he had been frightened stupid.
Angelica's expression changed drastically. She shouted for Qin Chu to be careful and wanted to rush over to help, but there was nothing she could do.
That long leg was about to strike Qin Chu's neck...
Smack...
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Sana's body remained frozen in the sweeping posture. The smug expression on her face gradually turned into stunned disbelief.
A rough, large hand had directly caught her ankle.
It was the Hero...
That sweeping kick had not moved the Hero's body in the slightest; he had not even swayed. Instead, at some unknown moment, the Hero's hand had caught her ankle.
Sana had not even seen that movement.
H-how was this possible?
Sana was shocked, and Maggie's face also paled in alarm.
Once again, the situation had exceeded their expectations.
"You two didn't really take me for some useless good-for-nothing, did you?" Though he had done it to save Angelica, being looked down upon like this still made him rather unhappy.
After all, Qin Chu had absorbed several hundred Demonic Beasts over the past three days.
At level thirty-nine, he was higher than these two women. If they compared attributes alone, his were exaggeratedly far beyond his own level. Sana's wind-like speed was as slow as a snail in Qin Chu's eyes.
Not only was Qin Chu a higher level than these two women, his attributes exceeded theirs several times over.
Trying to turn things around? Keep dreaming. There was no chance left!
Qin Chu's lips slowly curved upward. He could finally release his strength without restraint, and his mood improved even further.
Of course, now that he was using his power without restraint, it also meant Qin Chu had no intention of letting these two nuns live.
That smile, however, made Sana tremble all over. Clenching her silver teeth, she forcibly twisted her body, trying to free her leg.
But Qin Chu was faster. Moving against Sana's direction, he twisted his wrist.
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and Sana's left leg instantly twisted into the shape of a pretzel. Flesh and tendons tore apart, and her bones shattered in an instant.
The searing pain made Sana scream miserably beyond her control. Even the gaps between her fair teeth were filled with crimson blood.
As if he intended to repay every bit of pain Angelica had suffered, Qin Chu was particularly ruthless. Gripping the ankle that now hung limp, he swung his right arm into a full circle.
Sana's body was flung directly into the air, then smashed heavily toward the ground ahead.
Bang...

Bang!
Sana's body smashed heavily into the ground, and the earth trembled.
Face-down, her fair face had an intimate encounter with the rough soil and sharp gravel. Thick crimson blood, visible to the naked eye, seeped into the dirt.
That was not all. Qin Chu thought he heard another series of cracking sounds. He had put all his strength into that blow just now; who knew how many bones in Sana's body had been shattered outright.
Beside her head, he could even see teeth blown loose, still clinging with blood.
Even with Sana's considerable strength, she could not bear it at all.
Her long, slender body seemed to have become a flesh worm, crawling across the ground and slowly wriggling.
She wanted to scream, but her lips could only twitch slowly. She could not make even the slightest sound. Wave after wave of faintness swept over her, and Sana felt as if she could already see heaven.
Sana was in a miserable state!
On the other side, Maggie and Angelica both widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw this scene.
No one had expected Qin Chu to be so powerful.
Even if he was a Hero, gaining such outrageous strength in only half a day was practically cheating, wasn't it?
He had definitely turned on cheats!
They had just been thinking that the Hero could not possibly be a match for the two of them... Yet the situation had reversed in an instant, and Maggie's body was trembling.
The more arrogant and smug she had been before, the more terrified she was now.
Sana had been made to wish she were dead in less than one move. It would not be any different if Maggie went up.
This time, they were truly finished.
But Angelica's large eyes were filled with excitement.
Th-this was the effect brought by the Transcendent Authority, Ally of Justice?
Her master had once said that Ally of Justice could not only allow him to sense evil auras, but also make him stronger and stronger while fighting Demonic Beasts. The more Demonic Beasts he killed, the more powerful he would become.
Over these past few days, her master had indeed cleared out quite a few Demonic Beasts.
Angelica had already thoughtfully found an excuse for Qin Chu's explosive rise in strength.
When Qin Chu's savage, beast-like gaze suddenly turned toward her, Maggie shuddered all over. The intense fear made her scalp go numb.
Her abdomen kept twitching, and terror gave her the urge to vomit.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die...
Qin Chu would definitely not spare her.
Having seen Sana's fate, Maggie's will had already completely collapsed.
She did not even have the courage to fight Qin Chu. At that moment, Maggie noticed Angelica... This might be her only hope of survival.
Qin Chu cared so much about Angelica. As long as she got Angelica into her hands, then she would definitely be able to...
Her body moved faster than the thought in her mind.
However, Qin Chu was faster than she was.
If Maggie and Sana had not moved away from Angelica earlier, perhaps Qin Chu would not have had time to stop them. But now, Maggie no longer had a chance.
As Maggie rapidly approached Angelica, she only saw a flash of light and shadow before a figure appeared in front of her.
A right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Maggie by the forehead. It then pressed down with force as a knee slammed upward.
Bang...
Maggie's face smashed heavily into Qin Chu's knee.
Her entire mind went dark in an instant, and she did not know where her consciousness had drifted off to.
Blood gushed from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Qin Chu's level was higher than theirs, his attributes exceeded theirs, and the gap in strength was simply too great.
Still, these were two decent experience packs. Qin Chu would not pass up any chance to raise his own strength.
Devourer activated, enveloping Maggie's body.
Maggie's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. The moment her consciousness returned, Maggie was frightened out of her wits as she felt the magic power and Battle Qi inside her rapidly draining away.
Once her Battle Qi and magic power were completely exhausted, it might even cause her Battle Origin and Magic Core to rupture. Her lifetime of cultivation would then vanish into nothing.
In terror, Maggie struggled desperately, but Qin Chu's palm seemed glued to her body. No matter how desperately Maggie fought, it was useless.
Instead, the rate at which her strength drained only grew faster and faster.
Her blood-smeared face stared at Qin Chu in terror.
"Lord Hero..."
"Sp-spare me..."
"I'm willing to become your servant, to serve at your side for all my life..."
"I... I've learned Bedchamber Technique. I'll definitely make you feel good. I'll definitely satisfy you more than Angelica..."
