The Outcome Was Settled

Zhang Xuezhou ran swiftly along the smoke-filled passage.

He leaped lightly over a wall that was nearly half collapsed, and even discovered two Sequence Holder still fighting behind the wall.

The battles between the Sequence Holder were not limited to that underground space of over a thousand square meters; sporadic skirmishes also took place in other areas.

I'll deal with you when I get back!

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the two men and then chose to skip them.

More than ten meters away, Montes Clark staggered slightly as he ran, leaving a shallow, bloody footprint in the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou was not good enough to fight Montes Clark head-on, but he had no problem bullying the injured Montes Clark.

Montes Clark is Sequence Holder prioritizes speed and Movement Method, and his striking power is enhanced through multiple strikes.

The opponent's physical strength declines due to injury, and their speed will inevitably slow down. The power of their attack will be further weakened after being injured. Losing their genetic weapon means that Montes Clark and Kong Ning are no longer much different.

Zhang Xuezhou had faced similar skilled opponents before, and this time he was simply repeating the same tactics.

Once Montes Clark is subdued, the overall situation of the Aomeijia Alliance will be basically settled, and the remaining Sequence Holder are no match for them.

"Clark!"

With a loud shout, Zhang Xuezhou saw Montes Clark turn his head and his two long legs increase their running speed by three times.

"Don't run away! It's me, Little Zhang! We met before!"

Zhang Xuezhou yelled from behind, trying to disrupt them, which made Montes Clark, who was fleeing ahead, look miserable and almost unable to stop complaining.

As Seventh Sequence individual, Montes Clark had ample reason to be proud.

As the highest-ranking woman in the world today, Montes Clark is undoubtedly an outstanding success story. She never imagined that she would need to flee in panic, especially from an insignificant opponent.

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, who was still haunting her, Montes Clark tried her best to move around, but the more she moved, the more desperate she became.

Zhang Xuezhou not only followed closely behind, but after circling half the course, Zhang Xuezhou also memorized the routes and would use simpler and more convenient tracking methods.

She was breathing heavily, while Zhang Xuezhou behind her seemed to be strolling leisurely, even chattering away.

If there is an apocalypse, today might be her apocalypse.

Montes Clark suddenly felt a surge of hatred for Gang Hao. If Gang Hao had been ruthless enough to bribe the Scarlet Alliance State, she wouldn't be facing this situation right now.

Even if we can't invite the Scarlet Alliance State to help us, it would be better to keep these plague gods neutral.

Montes Clark didn't know why Zhang Xuezhou suddenly become so strong; she only knew she couldn't beat him.

Having failed to decapitate Zhang Xuezhou with three blows, she no longer harbored any hope of defeating Zhang Xuezhou with her fists, feet, and the construction debris she had picked up.

"We still have twenty-four highly skilled marksmen as well as nearly ten Fifth Sequence Fourth Sequence personnel behind us, and three lightly wounded Sixth Sequence personnel. Damn Silva, you bunch of bastards..."

Montes Clark pondered how to counter Zhang Xuezhou, while inwardly cursing the high- Sequence Holder of the rebel army.

When a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her, her expression changed drastically.

Montes Clark regained consciousness only after biting his tongue hard.

"You..."

Exhaling a breath, Montes Clark looked back at Zhang Xuezhou, who was running as if on a skateboard. At one moment she thought Zhang Xuezhou had made a move, but at the other moment she felt that it would be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to make a move in his running state. After all, it is extremely difficult to perform Gene Fighting Technique in a running state, and Zhang Xuezhou was still four or five meters away from her.

"Clark, sit down and let's talk!"

Zhang Xuezhou, chasing from behind, moved with a graceful gait, making the pursuit seem effortless.

With the help of Montes Clark's speed, Zhang Xuezhou with almost no effort. However, the winding paths and passages made it difficult to chase and fight. It was quite difficult for him to strike, and even with his realm-defense ability, he could easily lose sight of his opponent.

If Montes Clark wants to find an opportunity to retaliate in this kind of place and thus chooses to keep going in circles, Zhang Xuezhou really doesn't have any particularly good solutions.

He could only keep up with the other person's energy until Montes Clark couldn't take it anymore.

Of course, if he could use words to sow discord among Montes Clark, Zhang Xuezhou would be happy to put his verbal skills to good use.

How do we negotiate?

Montes Clark, who was running ahead, did not stop, but after nearly ten seconds, he uttered three words.

"I'll spare your life, you just have to cooperate and get me tied up!"

"Ridiculous!"

"If I keep chasing you, I'll definitely end up kidnapping you, and then I might not be so easy to talk to!"

Zhang Xuezhou did not show any anger at Montes Clark's direct refusal, but simply stated the facts.

"I'll pay double the price, you..."

"The die is cast; it's no longer a matter of price!"

Montes Clark was eager to bribe her with benefits, and she was certain that the Aomeijia Alliance could offer such benefits for division. However, before she could finish out her conditions, Zhang Xuezhou, who was pursuing her from behind, directly refused.

"Three times!"

"I negotiated with Arthur for ten times the price of a steel penny!"

"Your price is too high!"

Arthur agreed!

"Then why are you still chasing after us and killing us?"

"He didn't ask us to assist in suppressing the rebellion, so we're currently cooperating with the rebels!"

Zhang Xuezhou shrugged, indicating that he was adhering to the agreement.

"Damn it, you Scarlet Alliance State can't be this greedy..."

Montes Clark clutched her chest, her breath coming in gasps. She couldn't fathom how Arthur had conducted the negotiations; this shouldn't have come at such a high price.

She felt as if something inside her had collapsed.

As far as the eye could see, Montes Clark saw only a sea of crimson blood, with many Lineage members lying haphazardly in pools of blood, surrounded by mocking figures.

Those who were once respectful and deferential are now arrogant and haughty, beginning to replace this privileged class.

"Why is this happening? Your Lineage has treated you well!"

Montes Clark roared loudly, only regaining his senses when the sharp pain from his thigh wound returned.

"I've symbolically tied you up for a bit. I hope you'll cooperate quietly, otherwise I'll stab you where your resistance layer was breached, so you'll only be able to walk with a sprained ankle from now on!"

A glance swept over her body and Montes Clark saw that her thighs were red and swollen from Zhang Xuezhou's kicks, with blood constantly oozing out, and a noose was already around her neck.

The rope was an electrical wire that Zhang Xuezhou had dug out from the ruins on the ground. The wire wasn't thick; it would have been easily cut with a sword. However, the rope's leverage was in Zhang Xuezhou's hand, which made it a deadly weapon.

All you need to do is induce Montes Clark's hallucinations, and then keep pulling the wire tight; she will most likely suffocate slowly.

Thinking of Ren Yisheng, who has yet to show his face, and looking at the excessively young face before him, Montes Clark felt despair.

She stopped struggling, knowing full well that her struggles were futile.

If she had any hope left, it was only in Montes Arthur, who had left, to see if the excessive agreement he had made with the Scarlet Alliance State would actually work.
