Upon hearing Chen Mo's unabashedly close-up teasing, V froze on the spot.
A rare blush appeared on that pretty face, which had long been accustomed to bloodshed and filth in Night City.
The heat spread down her fair neck to her ears, even making the usually fierce eyeshadow around her eyes look flustered.
She was wearing a tight-fitting black tactical leather outfit today, and because of the sudden reversal of the situation, all her muscles were in a state of extreme tension.
The taut fabric reflected a cold sheen under the dim warehouse lights, perfectly accentuating her powerfully muscular waist and hip curves.
Her chest heaved violently from her rapid breathing, like a female leopard whose tail had been stepped on but who didn't know how to retaliate.
But this uneasy posture lasted only a second before V's straightforward and fiery temper instantly reclaimed his intellectual dominance.
Since we can't avoid it, we might as well just reveal our cards.
"Afraid of you?"
V gritted her teeth, and instead of backing down, she took a big step forward, blocking Chen Mo's path with her warm body.
The distance between them instantly closed to less than five centimeters, and she could even clearly smell the faint scent of rain and killing emanating from Chen Mo.
"I just want to sleep with you, so what?"
V stood with her hands on her hips, her chest puffed out high, almost slapping Chen Mo's nose with her astonishing curve.
"Everyone in Night City knows I, V, keep my word, and you, you bastard, are trying to run away without even giving me a chance!"
Her hoarse yet penetrating voice buzzed through the empty, silent underground warehouse, even startling a few mutated cockroaches in the corner.
Upon hearing this, the vast warehouse of the All Foods Processing Plant instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment, and even the sound of engine oil dripping onto the ground became incredibly clear.
The Joker Gang members, who had been crouching behind scrap metal boxes, frantically typing code in an attempt to take over the city's network, all froze in their tracks.
Dozens of ruthless killers, who usually killed without blinking an eye, all shrank back under the power of those words.
They looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with an almost frenzied thirst for gossip and a deep sense of admiration.
This woman is truly incredibly awesome.
That's Chen Mo.
A terrifying monster that just tore a heavily armored mech unit to shreds in a second and devoured Luthor and Nite Owl like insects.
Not only was she not afraid, but she also brazenly declared in front of the entire warehouse that she wanted to force herself on him.
"My goodness, Sister V is really going to 'persevere despite the difficulties' in a physical sense..."
A hacker with dreadlocks shoved his head into his collar, while simultaneously giving a trembling thumbs-up to V's tense back.
"She even dared to flirt with Chen Mo, that old ancestor! From now on, I'll only recognize Sister V as the leader of Night City."
The companions beside him nodded repeatedly, barely daring to breathe, for fear that Chen Mo might casually eliminate them if he was displeased.
The only sound in the warehouse was the buzzing of the terminal fans, an eerie and comical silence.
The Joker stood not far away, his lips twitching slightly, and he pressed his right hand against his temple with a hint of helplessness.
He wasn't too worried that Chen Mo would fly into a rage and kill someone. After all, having followed Chen Mo for so long, he had roughly figured out the temperament of this god-like being.
Although Chen Mo has a sharp tongue and even enjoys seeing others make fools of themselves, he has always shown an unbelievable level of tolerance towards his own people.
As expected, Chen Mo looked at the wild female leopard that was almost touching his face, but instead of being angry, he couldn't help but laugh.
Having lived for so long, traveling through different worlds, he had seen all sorts of stunningly talented or alluring women.
But I've never seen anyone like V who shouts out their confession with the air of a "challenge to a fight."
However, Chen Mo knew very well what was going on in his heart.
I have absolutely no chance of staying in this world.
This tiny world, polluted by acid rain, neon lights, and conglomerates, wasn't even worth a roadside stall to him.
He couldn't stay in this quagmire with no challenge forever for anyone.
But looking into V's eyes, which were filled with resentment and stubbornness despite their panic, Chen Mo's heart, which had been cold and hard, trembled slightly.
I have to say, this woman is quite interesting.
Not only does she have a top-notch physique, but her indomitable wildness is also exactly to his liking.
Most importantly, V is the first.
The first woman who made him even slightly think, "It wouldn't hurt to take her with me."
Since he had taken a liking to her, he didn't care whether she was from this world or not, nor did he care what causal changes taking her away would cause.
With his current strength, taking a little girl across dimensions is as easy as picking a flower by the roadside.
"You want to sleep with me? Your little body isn't strong enough for me to handle."
Chen Mo grinned, revealing a smug, mocking smile.
He slowly extended a finger and gently pressed it against V's smooth forehead, pushing her head, which kept leaning forward, back slightly.
V was poked and took half a step back. Just as she was about to open her mouth to retaliate, she saw that the fingertip of Chen Mo's finger, which was pressed against her forehead, suddenly lit up with an eerie yet gentle black-red light.
"However, since you're so reluctant to part with me, I'll get you a bigger stage."
Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, the void behind him suddenly twisted and folded violently.
A spatial passage, gleaming with a cold, eerie light, was suddenly torn apart in the center of the dilapidated warehouse without warning.
That's the gateway to the Marvel Universe.
Compared to this lifeless Night City, filled only with rats and neon lights, the grand world brimming with superheroes, aliens, and gods is clearly far more exciting.
Only in such a place could V, this wild female leopard covered in thorns, find her own fun.
"What... what is this?"
Looking at the deep, bottomless spatial rift, V's wildness was finally replaced by utter shock, and he even stopped breathing.
"I've moved to a different place. Remember to wait for me obediently in that world, and then I'll see if you still have the same guts."
Chen Mo laughed loudly, his right arm trembled slightly, and a gentle Blacklight instantly enveloped V's full and supple body.
" Chen Mo! You unreasonable bastard!"
Before V's furious curses could even finish, she was gently yet forcefully propelled into the deep spatial passage by the Blacklight.
Swish.
The spatial rift closed instantly, leaving no trace, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
The underground warehouse returned to deathly silence, broken only by the Joker Gang's heavy breathing as everyone gaped and questioned their existence.
"I'm taking the person with me. Night City is yours to mess with, but don't disappoint me, Joker."
Chen Mo dusted off his hands and turned to look at the Joker standing to the side with a fanatical expression.
"As you wish, Mr. Chen, from now on there will only be one voice."
The Joker bowed deeply, offering Chen Mo the highest respect.
Chen Mo smiled noncommittally, and his entire figure began to become illusory and blurry in an instant.
Under the awe-inspiring gazes of all the Joker Gang members, he vanished completely beneath the steel city shrouded in acid rain and darkness.
