Body double!?

So, Nono, fueled by rage, acted decisively.

The Dragon Blood, fully awakened and boiling within her, told her that the man before her wasn't her father, and he didn't deserve to be.

Every word this man spoke was a lie, he only wanted to wring out her value completely. He had never seen the existence named Chen Motong—whether the first or the subsequent clones—as a daughter. So why should Nono show him any more consideration or acknowledge him as her blood father?

Goodbye, Father, and goodbye to my weakness!

And so, with one strike, cold, hard death was presented before everyone's eyes.

Fresh blood flowed and sprayed from beneath Father Chen's fallen body, gradually forming a chilling pool.

At this moment, the surrounding security personnel finally snapped out of their shock and pulled out their weapons, aiming them at Nono, who held the blood-red sharp blade.

But they hesitated to act.

Their employer was killed, and the killer was the employer's daughter. It felt like... a family drama they, as outsiders, shouldn't interfere with?

...Moreover, their authority wasn't enough to unilaterally act against the family head's own child without the family head's command.

In the heavy atmosphere that made it hard to even breathe, a voice suddenly rang out—

"Everyone listen up, head outside the manor and stop the Noble Family personnel outside! I repeat! Everyone head outside the manor..."

The people pointing guns at Nono then realized it was their walkie-talkies speaking, and the person speaking through the walkie-talkies was none other than the voice of the recently deceased head of the Chen Family!

Following orders was paramount. Having undergone strict training, they didn't have time to think about why, so they all turned their guns and left.

"...!"

Nono, still rooted to the spot, her face drastically changed, stared in disbelief at the corpse before her... it was clearly dead.

But at the same time, she could hear Father Chen's voice echoing from the walkie-talkies by her ears.

Those real-time command voices couldn't be recordings; there was truly a living person speaking on the other end of the walkie-talkie!

So he wasn't dead?!

Then the one she killed just now, was it a double, a Shadow Warrior, or something similar? But could a Shadow Warrior act so much like the real person that even someone as familiar as her couldn't tell the difference?

She had thought that the huge shadow woven by that man and the family could be shattered with an assassin's strike, but beneath the shadow, it seemed as if an impenetrable fog had enveloped her once again...

Unfortunately, reality didn't give Nono more time to recover, but instead slid towards a more severe situation—

"Activate the suppression unit! Activate the suppression unit!"

Following the redeployment of security personnel, the voice from the walkie-talkie became unusually cold, and continued to ring out from somewhere unknown.

"Experiment Subject Frigga Three has lost control, quickly enter the suppression procedure! Full-power rounds are authorized!"

The next moment, intense gunfire erupted. Driven by the seemingly undead Oni of a father, armed personnel in black appeared from all directions, surrounding her.

Nono, dressed in a white dress, was as conspicuous as a pure white elf in the dark night. She had long since torn off the inconvenient hem of her formal dress, turning it into a rough, unconventional short skirt in an instant.

Now, having used the Ancient Dragon Serum, her legs moved as swiftly as the wind. The Dragon Blood boiled throughout her body, and her senses were more developed and acute than ever before. Even the firing muzzles that lit up in the dark night and the trajectory of the bullets that immediately shot out were slowed down under her gaze.

With light steps and drifting movements, Nono only needed to scan the hail of bullets, and then she could nimbly dodge, not a single leaf touching her. Bullets were only fit to graze the edges of her form.

The Dragon Blood gave Nono extraordinary physical abilities, but it also intensified her emotions. Facing the relentless gunfire, a tyrannical thought was also devouring her rationality. The anger rushing to her head told her that these foolish humans had offended the noble Wang, and they must repay with blood!

But a rational voice in her mind was also telling her: No, no! Don't do that, Nono, your enemy right now isn't them, they are just tools following orders.

Indulging in slaughter will make you regret it, you will degenerate into an "Oni" addicted to killing! You are not a Dragon, you are human! Don't get entangled with them, aren't you still seeking revenge? Go kill your true enemy!

Bang bang bang—

The armed personnel watched in fear as Nono displayed combat power completely inconsistent with her usual self.

Her figure was as swift as lightning, her turns agile, using cover to avoid the crossfire. She even kicked away personnel blocking her path, using their bodies to block some of the subsequent dense barrage.

Amidst the flashing white figure, the flying bullets rapidly missed her, hitting the armed personnel behind her and causing gruesome blood splatters.

Casualties gradually rose.

Although it seemed tragic, it was actually friendly fire among the armed personnel. Although Nono's body showed characteristics of Dragon Blood transformation with white scales and her movements were inhumanly fast, she didn't directly kill anyone. She seemed to be forcibly suppressing the Dragon's bloodthirsty tendencies with her mental will.

The captain of the suppression unit felt hesitant. Is this really a rampage? It wasn't like this before?

But the family head's orders were absolute.

Gritting his teeth, the captain spoke into the walkie-talkie: "Target is escaping the lockdown area, requesting permission to use Alchemical Ammunition."

"Granted."

Nono, who was trying to shake off the suppression unit, suddenly felt a sense of threat.

She lunged forward and rolled, and the next second, the spot where she had been exploded with a bang, emitting a huge amount of mercury vapor—that was a Mercury Core Armor-Piercing Alchemical Bullet designed to kill Dragons!

Dark blood dripped from Nono's calf. She hadn't completely dodged that barrage. The sudden inhalation of mercury vapor caused her body to stiffen for a moment, slowing her down by half a beat.

She coughed twice. Such minor injuries might not be much for her in her Dragon Blood transformed state, but Nono didn't want to waste time here. She sprinted forward, plunging into the small woods within the manor and rushing away. This was not far from the manor entrance.

More importantly, she saw the figure of the Chen Family head, walkie-talkie in hand, hurriedly getting into a car!

You won't escape this time!

"What's going on? Is the Chen Family having an internal conflict and infighting?"

A few young scions from the Noble Families, responsible for surrounding the Chen Family manor, heard faint crackling sounds from inside. They gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.

It couldn't be that the Chen Family is setting off firecrackers for no reason late at night, could it?

At this moment, some were half-reclining on benches by the street, pretending to nap. Some were walking a yellow-haired dog slowly along the curb. Some stood outside a flower shop admiring the flowers. Some were dressed as workers, staring at the green belt and smoking cigarettes.

It looked like there were many ordinary people strolling around near the Chen Family, but in reality, they were all people from the Noble Families, openly and secretly disguised for surveillance.
