Speechless at the Showboating

Few people liked bats. These creatures had always preferred to come out at night, and some even survived by sucking the blood of living beings.

Now, after mutating, they had grown enormous and become incredibly fast. The violent impacts outside showed that they possessed formidable attack power.

So those marks on the steel plates had all been left by them!

Leng Shiyi warned everyone with a grave expression, "Everyone, be careful!"

However, just as they had expected, that group of people appeared at this moment.

Xue Dong's figure flashed, moving like a ghost too fast to track. Invisible Wind Blades swept through the area, instantly slicing the Mutant Bats that entered the building into pieces.

A rain of blood mixed with chunks of flesh splattered across the ground, staining several nearby companions' clothes and drawing a string of curses.

A few Mutant Bats that slipped through continued flying forward, but before they could reach the iron cage, they slammed hard into the steel plates bristling with spikes and fell to the ground in a bloody heap.

Once he had shown off enough, Liu Qun finally waved both hands. The entire floor instantly became like an iron barrel, tightly protected by thick steel plates, leaving only the thudding, banging sounds of impacts from outside.

Shen Mo noticed the beads of sweat forming on Liu Qun's forehead and immediately understood.

The only reason Liu Qun was working so hard to use his ability was to show off in front of them, deliberately wasting his power to create the image of being overwhelmingly strong and invincible.

As expected, Liu Qun's actions won the fanatical admiration of his lackeys.

They eagerly chimed in with flattery after flattery, and Liu Qun was delighted to hear it. His face beamed with satisfaction as his vanity was fulfilled as never before.

Liu Qun proudly raised his head and looked directly at Leng Shiyi's group. "Well? Have you seen my strength now? If you follow me, your personal safety will at least be absolutely guaranteed."

His tone brimmed with confidence and arrogance, as though he had already regarded Leng Shiyi's group as his possessions.

Leng Shiyi and his teammates exchanged glances, their eyes full of speechlessness.

In the end, Su Ze stepped forward with a slight smile and said admiringly, "Boss Liu is truly amazing. As expected of a Tier-Two Esper! Your 'strength' is indeed astounding. This display has truly opened our eyes! We can hardly wait to follow Boss Liu.

By the way, didn't we agree to sign the contract tonight? Are we starting now?"

Everything before that had been empty praise; the last sentence was the real point.

Hearing Su Ze call him "Boss" again and again, Liu Qun had already begun to see him as one of his own.

Satisfied, he nodded, then turned and waved at his lackeys behind him. "All right, you can all disperse for now and get some rest. Don't worry. With me keeping watch here tonight, there definitely won't be any danger!"

After hearing Liu Qun's words, the lackeys all nodded and turned to leave with perfect coordination.

They knew that whenever new members needed to sign a contract, Liu Qun would handle it personally and would not allow anyone else to accompany him.

It had become a routine long ago, and they were already used to such arrangements.

As for the esper with psychic abilities, they only learned later that she was actually Xue Dong's younger sister.

Not only had that girl been imprisoned and stripped of her freedom, but she was also a tool their boss used to keep Xue Dong in check. To squeeze out the last of her value, he had even threatened her with Xue Dong and forced her to become a contract tool for their little base.

How pitiful, how pitiful~

But what did that have to do with them? This matter had already gone beyond their authority. Whether they were beneficiaries or victims, they had no ability to interfere too much.

Xue Dong cast them an inconspicuous glance, then secretly used his wind ability to create a small, delicate butterfly and placed it in a corner where no one was paying attention.

After doing that, Xue Dong calmly blended into the crowd and left the place.
