"Was she... scared out of her wits?"
In the hall, the crowd was completely baffled by Hela's sudden remark.
Logically, Hela should be the one who's afraid right now, but these words actually came from Hela herself.
This led the crowd to believe that Hela had been terrified.
In the basement.
Several of the guards, who were not yet completely Life, lay in pools of blood as they listened to Hela's words.
Suddenly, it felt as if the thread of Life had been stirred.
The extreme fear rendered them speechless; they could only feel their Life slipping away, trembling as they gazed at Hela.
"Afraid? Sorry, I've never been afraid in my life."
Standing on the stage, Liu Ruqing's tone remained unchanged, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Oh, do you have any last words?"
Although Hela didn't believe that the other woman wasn't afraid at all, she didn't want to argue with her.
Those around on stage confirmed that Hela was indeed terrified.
How can you be so sure I'm going to die?
"You can't beat me, and right now I could easily beat you to death with just a flick of my wrist."
Having said that, Hela, who was in the basement, took a step forward, then reached out and ripped the desk between the two of them off, sending it crashing heavily against the wall and scattering across the floor.
Liu Ruqing's face showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a smug smile slowly crept onto her face.
"This time, I did underestimate your intelligence, but I didn't misjudge your habits."
Hela blinked, then withdrew her hand, which was about to crush the other person's, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Liu Ruqing slowly extended two fingers. "I've taken two precautions. The first is that I'm betting you'll be tricked into coming here."
"The second layer is a gamble that after you discover I want to kill you, you'll come to me wanting to eliminate me directly."
"Clearly, my second bet was right."
"Since I guessed you were here to kill me, then I was definitely prepared..."
Click--!!!
suddenly.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window shattered with a crash, and flying shards of glass cut those near the window, eliciting screams.
A middle-aged man with blood-stained hands crashed through a window and flew backwards into the meeting hall.
After falling heavily to the ground, he quickly rolled over twice to stand up and shield Hela.
When middle-aged men see Liu Ruqing on stage, who exudes the aura of a domineering CEO, practically wearing the words "I am the leader" on her face.
He quickly pointed his gun at the other party.
"That's not the real thing, that's just a fake," Hela warned.
Yuliu paused for a moment, then looked out the window and gritted her teeth.
"We're in trouble..."
"They hired the best mercenaries [ the Red Scarf ]."
"Is it that impressive?"
"Extremely impressive!" Yuliu said decisively, his eyes showing an unprecedented seriousness.
"He is the only Human Limit combat power who does not belong to any faction!"
"Three years ago, he fought with Ye Linwan, a core member of our Light God Society, and cut off one of her spider legs."
"Furthermore, it's rumored that... he once fought against two of the [Five Calamities]."
"In terms of achievements, he is undoubtedly the strongest human being!"
Hela could clearly sense that Yuliu's usually composed voice was starting to tremble slightly as he finished speaking.
A thick layer of cold sweat streamed down his forehead, mingling with his blood.
Hela and Yuliu looked at the broken window.
Under their watchful eyes, a young man with large, multicolored wings slowly emerged from the night sky.
Step inside through the broken window.
In his left hand he held a red heart made of pixels, while in his right hand he gripped a seemingly ordinary pixelated knife.
The scarf wrapped around his neck was now extremely loose, revealing his entire face.
Hela was stunned for a moment when she saw the other person's face.
[ Blood Scarf ] frowned slightly as he looked around at the crowd of people cut by broken glass.
Then, from the pixelated heart in his hand, several green pixelated bandages slowly floated out.
His wounds healed immediately after coming into contact with the injured people.
Seeing this, Yuliu seemed to understand something.
He immediately pulled out his last grenade, grabbed the pin, and shouted at [ Blood Scarf ].
"Let us leave, or I'll detonate a grenade right now and kill everyone here!"
"Heh... that's a really despicable tactic."
Standing on the stage, Liu Ruqing smiled dismissively, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Because in the basement, she found Hela standing there quietly, unmoved.
Logically speaking, at this point, Liu Ruqing's life should have been used as leverage.
Is she really that confident she can defeat [ Blood Scarf ] with the power of a clone?
[ Blood Scarf ] froze instantly upon hearing Yuliu's words and seeing the fragmentation grenade in his hand.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Yuliu smiled inwardly, knowing that she had made the right bet.
"Now... right now..."
Clang--!!!
A loud, explosive metallic clang rang out from behind Yuliu.
He turned around in horror, only to find three white spears made of pixels had appeared behind him at some point.
But it was immediately stopped by the metallic spikes that grew from Hela's body.
Without Hela, Yuliu might already be a corpse by now.
[ Blood Scarf ]'s expression immediately turned sour, and he froze when he looked at Hela.
At that moment, he seemed to be lost in some memories, his eyes shimmering with light.
"No! It might just be gray hair!"
[ Blood Scarf ] shook his head violently twice, then gritted his teeth, gripped the knife, and charged forward at lightning speed.
The goal was to kill it before the Yuliu could pull the ring.
Seeing the god-like figure relentlessly approaching, Yuliu had no other choice but to tighten his grip and detonate the fragmentation grenade.
But just then, a small, fair hand stopped him.
Yuliu looked at Hela in confusion, while Hela stared intently at the dagger that was hurtling towards her.
Just as the [ Blood Scarf ] came in front of the two, Hela's lips slowly parted.
"I am Hela."
[ The Blood Scarf ] caused his pupils to suddenly contract.
The razor-sharp dagger stopped abruptly at Hela's brow, as if a pause button had been pressed.
The oncoming hurricane blew Hela's hair around.
The wings behind [ Blood Scarf ] turned into pixels and disappeared into the air. He put away his knife and stared blankly at the beautiful girl in front of him.
His wide eyes were filled with disbelief.
Hela's face changed slightly, reverting to her previous appearance as she had in United States.
"Do you believe me now, Aidan?"
Hela forced a sweet smile onto her face.
Aidan's body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes, reflecting Hela's face, slowly welled up with tears.
"Boss... Boss!"
