Embrace Fear, Grunts!

Lu Xiao smiled happily when he heard Dart's answer.

The Dark Prison's torment had only driven him a little mad. It did not mean he was stupid.

He had heard every word of the squad members' conversation.

He would be the first to object to foreigners throwing their weight around on his country's soil.

Though he was not sure whether he still counted as a citizen of this country.

But that did not affect his determination to kill.

He raised a hand to his forehead, his slender fingers sharply jointed.

A trace of bloodlust flashed deep in his eyes.

He worked hard to control his expression, afraid of frightening Xiao Yu beside him.

Xiao Yu felt his body trembling slightly and asked curiously.

"Are you scared?"

Hearing that, Lu Xiao controlled his expression and gave her a relatively gentle smile.

"I'm just a little excited!"

"Yes, just a little!!!"

The villa had fallen.

Dozens of bodies in black suits lay sprawled across the corridor.

Without exception, each had a hole in his forehead.

Blood soaked the entire floor.

Blood had even spread onto the steps outside the villa's front entrance.

The magnificent villa had become a slaughterhouse.

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

Boss Liu sat on the sofa, holding a stemmed wineglass.

Under the light, the crimson liquid inside looked like blood.

Boss Liu did not turn to look at the people who entered. He continued savoring his wine.

A team of seven soldiers in special operations gear entered.

Their leader made a tactical hand signal.

A soldier then stepped forward and hoisted the mirror with its antique patterns onto his shoulder.

Boss Liu did not stop any of this either. He slumped limply on the sofa.

"Could I ask you a favor?"

His voice sounded somewhat hoarse now.

The soldiers looked back at him.

"Could you kill me here?"

This was the outcome Boss Liu wanted most right now.

The final image the Magic Mirror had shown him would not leave his mind.

It showed a fat, headless corpse in a room with metal walls on all four sides.

Compared with that death, Boss Liu would rather be shot in his own villa.

Yet the soldiers did not respond to his request.

The soldier leading them merely waved a hand indifferently.

Everyone filed out of his room.

Boss Liu lay on the sofa, murmuring.

"So the ending really can't be changed?"

Outside the villa, seven dark gun muzzles pointed at its front entrance.

They belonged to the Cityfire Squad.

At the entrance, a special operations soldier used a tactical maneuver to peek through the doorway.

The moment his head appeared, a burst of bullets poured into it.

Even with a bulletproof helmet specially made by the Prison Wardens, his head was blown apart immediately.

It burst like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter all over the ground.

At the same time, several grenades were thrown through the villa's front entrance.

Boom, boom, boom!

Flames burst in every direction.

Dart calmly gave the order.

"Alternate fire!"

Ratatat!

Ratatat!!

Flames jetted a full half meter from the muzzles.

They were like the scorching breath of fire dragons.

Clack!

A smoke grenade was thrown out.

Moments later, smoke billowed.

Dart activated his goggles' smoke-penetrating function.

In his field of vision, there was no one in the smoke.

He instantly understood their decision.

"They've given up on the front entrance!"

Sly sneered.

"Then they're in for a world of hurt!"

Dart switched on his microphone.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, they aren't using the front entrance!"

Lu Xiao's voice came through the microphone.

"I've already seen them!"

On the other side.

A hole had been blasted through the villa's wall.

More than ten special operations soldiers emerged through it in an orderly fashion.

They advanced in a staggered formation, watching their surroundings warily.

Just after everyone had come through the hole, a voice sounded in their ears.

"Hi, friends. Surprise!"

They looked toward the voice.

By the moonlight, they saw a strange figure in a tree nearby.

The figure hung upside down from a branch, his head twisted at an unnatural angle to look at them.

His scarlet tongue lay against his forehead.

Ratatat!

Ratatat!!

They were all professionally trained soldiers.

Although the sight was frightening in the dead of night, they opened fire in that direction without hesitation.

After dropping from the tree, Lu Xiao crawled through the shadows in a bizarre, contorted posture.

He dodged every bullet fired at him.

He was fast. In less than two seconds, he had already closed in on the soldiers.

As he crawled, he lashed out with a palm.

Splat!

The thigh of the soldier struck by his palm vanished instantly.

A piercing scream rang out.

At the same time, countless bullets rained down on that spot.

But Lu Xiao had already left.

The soldier who had lost a thigh was riddled with bullets by his own teammates.

"Shit! What kind of monster is this?"

At last, a soldier cried out in terror.

"Damn it! Where did another anomalous crea-"

Before he could finish, he could no longer make a sound.

His vision turned upside down.

Lu Xiao had shattered his neck with a slap.

"Oh-ho! You're so fragile!"

"As fragile as a sheet of paper!"

Splat!

Another slap swung out.

The head of the soldier it struck burst apart instantly.

Lu Xiao extended his scarlet tongue and licked the tip of his nose.

Under the moonlight, his figure was utterly terrifying.

He was covered in blood and brains.

"Surprised, my friends from afar?"

"Ready to embrace fear, grunts?"

Just then, a grenade landed at Lu Xiao's feet.

Lu Xiao quickly bent down, picked it up, and stuffed the grenade, which was about to explode, into a soldier's mouth.

Under the soldier's terrified gaze.

Boom!

The grenade exploded.

His upper body instantly shattered into pieces, leaving only a pair of mangled legs where he had stood.

Lu Xiao turned his head, spreading his lips and opening his mouth wide.

"Bomm!"

The word came from his mouth. Bits of flesh and blood still clung to his face, yet his expression was that of a gentleman.

The sight left a deep shadow in the hearts of the surviving soldiers.

Dart checked his tactical watch.

"Three minutes have passed!"

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu's surprised voice rang out.

"Look!"

Under the moonlight, a young man strolled leisurely with a mirror over his shoulder.

It was as though he were walking through his own back garden.

Bits of mangled flesh still hung from his clothes.

Blood dripped from the hem of his clothes onto the ground.

Watching this, Sly could not help shuddering.

"Does this guy not care about his appearance at all?"

He voiced his confusion.

Just then.

Thud!

Two squad members suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
