Chapter 496

But just as she raised her eyes, her gaze met a pair of cold, frosty night eyes, like black gems under the night sky, deep and filled with murderous intent, as if they could devour a person.

Startled, Bai Yu hurriedly got up, but unknowingly slipped and lost her footing, falling from the tree.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Bai Yu gasped and gently rubbed her bottom. Her T-shirt was torn by tree branches, revealing her fair skin. Her head was covered with weeds and green leaves, making her look quite disheveled.

That really hurt her. If it weren't for her good physical condition, she would have been seriously injured. But who exactly is that beautiful black-haired woman, and how did she manage to spot her?

"I have a feeling that I was almost killed just now."

Recalling the gaze he had met earlier, Bai Yu hugged himself tightly and shivered. Just thinking about the naked killing intent in that other person's eyes sent shivers down his spine.

It wasn't her imagination; it really was the killing intent of an assassin. A beautiful, icy woman as an assassin? You must be kidding me. What kind of monsters are the women around Wu Liang?

Bai Yu clutched her heart, which was pounding wildly in her chest. If that beauty was a real assassin, then according to the movie plot, she would be killed within a few days after her true face was seen.

"Huanhuan didn't tell me that Wu Liang had such a troublesome woman by his side..."

Pale-faced Bai Yu said, half-laughing and half-crying, "If anything really happened to me because of investigating Wu Liang, I'll haunt Mo Qianhuan even as a ghost..."

"Lounge"

"Miss Shi Yaoshi, what's wrong? Is there something outside?"

He Xue tugged at Yao Shi's skirt and asked in a low voice, "Miss Shi suddenly seemed like a different person. The sudden burst of coldness made her very uncomfortable."

She was perfectly fine before, so what happened outside the window? Miss Shi suddenly became like this after glancing out the window.

"It's okay, I probably just misread it."

The chill vanished in an instant. Yao Shi turned around and smiled gently at He Xue. Her soft, gentle smile left He Xue speechless for a moment.

"Miss Shi Yaoshi has a really beautiful smile."

He Xue and smiled shyly. She had seen Miss Shi's smile many times in the past few days, but no matter how many times she saw it, she was always amazed.

Miss Shi Yaoshi is a beauty, a beauty without any flaws. She had thought for a long time that Miss Shi Yaoshi's smile was beautiful, but she never expected it to be so captivating.

"He Xue, you too."

Yao Shi walked to the window and drew the curtains, but her peripheral vision kept fixed on a willow tree in the distance outside the window. There was no mistake, someone had indeed been watching this place, and it was definitely the young master.

Enemy? Rival? Or perhaps a villain with designs on the young master? The other party had been watching this side for a long time, but that gaze suddenly disappeared when she looked across.

"We must protect the young master."

Looking around at the green forest surrounding the villa, Yao Shi's smile faded considerably, replaced by a deep solemnity and seriousness.

No matter how close her relationship with the young master has become, she is still his personal maid and bodyguard responsible for protecting his life.

"Yao Shi, you noticed it too, didn't you?"

A deep female voice sounded in my ear, and her bright red hair shone like a burning flame in the sunlight.

Milutin walked over to Yao Shi and looked into the distance with her. If anyone really had designs on the young master, she wouldn't mind making a few more holes in them...

P. S.: I was half asleep yesterday and posted the wrong chapter. This chapter is the correct one now!

Prologue: The Watcher in the Depths of Darkness (This is the prologue to this volume; I forgot to post it before.)

The filthy, dark, abandoned garage was filled with a pungent odor that made people very uncomfortable; the dim and unpleasant environment resembled a garbage dump.

Low growls, like those of stray cats and dogs, echoed from the abandoned underground parking garage, which was filled with a damp and slightly stuffy atmosphere.

Foul-smelling water flowed across the ground, and the remains of some unknown animal were carelessly scattered on the shattered surface, which was covered with jagged cracks.

The entire ceiling was teetering on the verge of collapse, making it hard to imagine that anyone could still exist here. I can't believe what kind of monster could endure such a place.

Tap... tap...

The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground marked the entrance to the dimly lit underground parking garage, where a woman with a curvaceous figure and a black trench coat appeared.

She frowned, pinched her nose, and looked around with dissatisfaction. Her slender waist and long, jade-like legs were perfectly outlined by her close-fitting underwear.

Her full breasts were supported and pressed together by a small black lace camisole, and with each step she took, her snow-white soft flesh attracted everyone's attention.

This was the woman's first time here, but she could swear it would be her last.

She never imagined that this place would be so filthy and disgusting. If she had known that the other party's so-called secret base was like this, she would never have come here.

"That's disgusting. Couldn't you have found a decent place?"

The woman pushed up her sunglasses, frowned, and looked around at her surroundings. She felt extremely disgusted; she could even see some Rat scurrying about on the ground in the shadows, looking for food.

The place was filled with a dull and cold atmosphere. She almost threw up her breakfast after just a short time there, let alone living there for an extended period of time.

"Let me see what exactly this so-called fighting machine is."

After walking to a slightly open area, the woman slowly spoke. She could already feel the naked killing intent; something was staring at her from this dark corner.

But she received no response, only a deathly silence. The growing killing intent was filled with brutality and aggression, like a wild beast poised to pounce and bite her throat at any moment.

"My lord! I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Please come and see my masterpiece."

A lewd figure emerged from another shadowy corner. The man in the white coat walked a short distance away, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed heavily to the woman.

During the lowest point of his life, it was this adult who gave him hope, the motivation to live, and the opportunity to take revenge on Wu Xingsheng.

The other party is his goddess, and he would not hesitate to give his own life for her. He would do anything to fulfill her desires.

"I don't want to say too much, I just want to know if you're sure you've done everything you were supposed to do."

The woman stared coldly at the man before her. It seemed he was indeed prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have been so excited.

There was indeed an unsettling atmosphere in the surroundings, and she could clearly sense the presence of other people there.

"My lord, I have already made all the preparations. Now I am just waiting for your review. All of this was prepared for you."

Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly got up from the sewage-covered ground and pointed into the shadows. His masterpiece, his most satisfying masterpiece, had been created.

His darlings, his children, they were all gathered here, and as a father, he was very pleased with these obedient children.

"Let them out; there's no need to keep hiding them any longer."

"You want to get revenge on Wu Xingsheng, right? Then let me see what you're capable of."

The woman sneered and looked in the direction the man was pointing. Human experimentation. She never expected that this man would go to such lengths for revenge.

What a heartless man! Although he doesn't like this kind of thing, he's willing to do it for revenge against Wu Xingsheng and his son...

"Okay, sir, then come out! My dearest babies!!!"

After receiving the woman's permission, the man nodded excitedly, then ran to a corner, opened his arms, and shouted loudly.

"Roar!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a series of angry roars suddenly came from the depths of the abandoned garage, and countless red-glowing eyes slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Ha, have all the mercenaries who once dominated the battlefield become like this?"

The woman raised an eyebrow in surprise. Judging by the amount, this man had probably used up all the "medicine" he had given her.

"My lord, I have used up all of your 'medicine'. Although some of the experimental subjects failed, I still obtained some very good materials in the end."

"Look, sir, this is my masterpiece. These ten mercenaries have been brainwashed, modified, and enhanced with drugs. They are now my strongest weapons of revenge."

The man wore a sickly smile and involuntarily began to gesticulate wildly, as if he were dancing the cha-cha. To an outsider, it looked utterly comical.

As if very satisfied with his creation, the man hopped over to the mercenaries and stroked their tough skin and strong limbs.

Intense anger raged within him, driving him to a state of madness to the point that he was no longer a normal person.

Even so, the burning anger in his mind kept reminding and stimulating him that he had to kill Wu Xingsheng and destroy everything he owned.

"Mercenaries, huh? They even have women among them."

The woman stared coldly at the mercenaries standing in neat rows before her. They were indeed terrifying fighting machines; the sheer killing intent emanating from them was enough to suffocate her.

They were already well-trained soldiers who had often fought on the battlefield. With the added enhancements from the "drugs" and brainwashing from men, they could now truly be described as machines existing solely to kill.

She was right to ask this man for help; he had done everything an ordinary person could do. She was very satisfied.

"Hehe, that's right. And there are actually some acquaintances of Wu Xingsheng among these mercenaries. It will be very interesting when they meet."

The man glanced at the man and woman in the far corner and grinned. If he remembered correctly, K and Rabbit were M's best friends...

Chapter Ten: Milutin's Friends

"M, if you don't become a mercenary anymore, what do you plan to do?"

The petite girl wore a tattered military uniform, revealing her snow-white skin beneath a cut made by a sharp weapon, and pink bra straps showing through her torn top.

Wearing a rabbit-like mask, the girl lay on a box full of bullets, kicking her legs idly as she looked at the red-haired woman in front of her, a sly glint in her beautiful eyes.

"Aren't you planning to find a man and have a passionate, dramatic romance?"

The girl chuckled, resting her chin on her hand, her twin ponytails tied on either side of her head swaying like a dancing rabbit.

Although she didn't know M's exact age, she was certain that M was older than her and was a hot, outgoing, and beautiful woman.

As a woman like M, she naturally longs for a sweet romance. Moreover, she is young and full of energy, and she is very interested in love.

"Rabbit, don't disturb M, she needs to rest."

The bespectacled young man with an Asian face pushed up his glasses, smiled helplessly, and slapped the girl on the head to signal her to shut up and stop talking.

M has just returned from a mission. Even someone as skilled as M would be extremely exhausted after such a high-intensity, high-load battle.

Her body and mind had reached their limits, and now that she finally had some time to rest, it was best not to let that little rabbit disturb the other party.

"What? This is a topic between us girls, why are you interfering? Tell me! Do you have a crush on the eldest sister? Otherwise, why are you always so sensitive about these kinds of topics!"

"Don't think I can't see through your tricks. I've noticed you've been spying on the boss for a while now. Forget it, the boss would never like someone like you."

After the boy tapped her on the head, the girl with pigtails pouted and made a face at him. K always liked to lecture her, just like an old woman, so annoying.

Moreover, she had long noticed that K had an unusual affection for the Big Sister. Whether in private or on missions, K's gaze always followed the Big Sister.

This man is definitely interested in the boss; her intuition is never wrong. It's a woman's sixth sense. K definitely likes M!

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired youth stiffened and nervously looked at the beautiful woman who was resting with her eyes closed on the bench. Only after confirming that she showed no signs of waking up did he relax a little.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

The young man smacked the girl on the head, his expression displeased. "This girl is always talking nonsense. When will she ever behave? She doesn't act like a girl at all."

Besides, how could he casually say that he liked M? It would be so embarrassing if M heard it. And he didn't think a woman as outstanding and perfect as M could possibly be interested in him...

"You hit me on the head again! How many times has this happened? Hitting someone on the head like that is very rude! I think you just like the boss! Let me tell you, explanations are just cover-ups, and cover-ups are the truth!"

"Look at your face, it's as red as a monkey's bottom! Don't you even look in the mirror and see how ashamed you are?"

The girl jumped off the ammunition box and kicked the young man in the shin to vent her dissatisfaction, still trying to argue, still trying to argue, still trying to argue!

"Hiss... you brat..."

"K, Rabbit, although I have no right to interfere in your flirting, I do have the right to make you leave my room."

The cold, emotionless female voice was like a chilling wind from the Siberian tundra. Awakened by the noise, Milutin glared at her two companions who had disturbed her rest.

She was exhausted. Completing three high-intensity tasks in a row had left her so tired that she could barely lift her arms. All she wanted to do was rest for a while, but these two clueless guys still had to bother her.

"I know you two have a very good and close relationship, but I'm already very sleepy."

Milutin pressed her throbbing temples, suppressing her anger as she muttered under her breath. If it weren't for the fact that these two had been following her for so long, she would have kicked them both out long ago.

"No! I'm so sorry!!!"

Seeing this, the black-haired youth hurriedly bowed and apologized to Milutin. He hadn't meant to wake her; he'd wanted her to rest for a while, but it was all that troublesome girl, Rabbit,'s fault...
