You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The underground world.

Dark, damp, and foul-smelling.

The murky sewage reached above my ankles, and the sticky mud made every step incredibly difficult.

An unknown liquid seeped from the walls. In the corner, a swarm of rats, startled by footsteps, squeaked and scattered in all directions.

"Thump!"

Li Mingyu was the last to jump down, but he slipped and almost fell into the sewage, the splashing black water covering his face.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

He wiped his face in a disheveled state, his stomach churning.

However, not far ahead of him, Lin Chen was strolling leisurely.

He didn't even need a flashlight; his [god-level hearing] and enhanced night vision made this labyrinthine darkness seem like daytime to him.

He waded through the water, leisurely following the short figure that was fleeing at high speed, as if he were walking a dog.

"I'm telling you, your stamina isn't what it used to be."

Lin Chen's voice echoed in the narrow pipe, clearly reaching the ears of the dwarf assassin ahead.

"You're already this out of breath after running for less than five minutes? Is your industry this competitive now? Are the entry requirements really that low?"

The figure in front of them visibly stiffened.

His name was A-Gui. He was adopted by Wang Defa when he was a child and lived in the mezzanine and pipes of the villa. He was Wang Defa's most loyal shadow.

He had been to this underground waterway countless times, and he knew every fork in the road and every exit by heart.

This should have been his home turf.

But the man behind her was like a leech clinging to her.

No matter how fast he accelerated or how he used the complex terrain, he was always suspended at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

The effortless footsteps and the piercingly sarcastic remarks struck his heart like a hammer blow.

Fear is growing wildly.

"The road leading left ahead is a dead end; it was blocked off last year due to municipal construction. You didn't know that, did you?"

"Tsk tsk, look at you, you're so panicked you don't even know where to go! You've lost a shoe, and you're walking barefoot on this stuff, don't you find it prickly?"

"Hey, why don't you say something? Running around like this is so pointless."

"How about I let you run the first 100 meters?"

Ah Gui's mentality completely collapsed!

He suddenly accelerated and turned into a wider main pipeline.

Ten minutes later.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

An abandoned underground reservoir came into view, resembling a huge underground plaza, with only the same pipe entrance as the way we had come.

Dead end.

Ah Gui was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

He slowly turned around, his back against the slippery wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

Beneath that pale mask, his eyes were bloodshot with anger and fear, gleaming with a ferocious, beast-like light.

He slowly drew two daggers from his waist.

The blade of the dagger gleamed with an eerie, dark blue hue in the dim light, clearly indicating that it was coated with a potent poison.

"Tap...tap..."

Lin Chen walked out of the pipe with his hands in his pockets, his steps light and his breathing even slightly disordered.

He looked at A-Gui, who was adopting a desperate stance, and even had a hint of regret on his face.

Just then, Su Qingge, gun in hand, rushed out of the pipe.

She was agile and, although somewhat disheveled, her eyes remained sharp as she locked onto her target immediately.

It took more than ten seconds before Li Mingyu finally managed to crawl out, leaning against the wall, bent over, and panting heavily like a dead dog.

"No...don't move!"

Li Mingyu roared breathlessly, trying to raise his gun, but his arm was shaking violently.

Ah Gui didn't even look at them.

His entire attention was focused on the man who brought him endless fear and oppression!

"roar!"

A roar that didn't sound like a human voice!

Ah Gui moved!

His short body suddenly shot out, almost touching the ground, at an extreme speed!

Two poisoned blades, one above the other, drew two strange arcs, aiming straight for Lin Chen's ankles and calves!

His movements are extremely cunning, specializing in attacking the lower body, making them impossible to defend against!

"Be careful!"

Su Qingge exclaimed in surprise and instinctively reached for the trigger, but then hesitated, afraid of accidentally injuring Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen advanced instead of retreating.

The terrifying nerve reactions brought about by [Basic Combat Techniques] and [Body Enhancement] were on full display at this moment.

Just as those two beams of cold, blue light were about to reach him, he casually took a step to the left.

In the blink of an eye, two poisoned blades whistled past his trouser legs.

At the same time, without pausing, he raised his right foot and stomped down at an unbelievable angle!

"Snap!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silent reservoir!

Lin Chen's foot landed precisely on A Gui's right wrist, where he was holding the dagger!

"ah--!"

Ah Gui let out a piercing scream as his right wrist twisted and deformed at an eerie angle, and the poisoned blade flew out of his hand.

The excruciating pain fueled his ferocity even more!

With his remaining left hand, he suddenly swung it backhand, the dagger drawing a desperate arc as it stabbed towards Lin Chen's inner thigh!

"Oh."

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh.

He didn't even look at the poisoned blade coming at him; he simply raised his knee casually.

"Bang!"

The hard knee slammed into Ah Gui's jaw, which he raised as he screamed in pain!

A muffled thud.

Ah Gui's short body was instantly lifted off the ground and flew backward!

It's not over yet!

Lin Chen raised his leg and delivered a clean and crisp volley to A Gui, who was still in mid-air!

"Bang!"

Ah Gui was like a tattered sandbag, kicked away heavily by this kick, flying in an arc through the air.

"Thump!"

He crashed heavily into a sewage ditch in the corner of the reservoir, splashing up large amounts of black, foul-smelling water. After struggling for a moment, he became completely still.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Li Mingyu's mouth was agape, he forgot to breathe, and he could barely hold onto the gun in his hand.

Su Qingge also stood there stunned, her hand holding the gun drooping slightly. Her usually cold and sharp phoenix eyes were now filled with turbulent waves and strange light.

From the moment Ah Gui erupted in anger to the moment he was kicked into the ditch, the entire process took no more than three seconds.

Clean, efficient, violent, and full of overwhelming composure.

Lin Chen patted off non-existent dust from his trousers, glanced at A-Gui floating in the sewage, and shrugged.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it."

After saying that, he ignored the two petrified people behind him, walked straight to the sewage ditch, and with one hand lifted the half-dead dwarf assassin out of the stinking black water and threw him on the ground.

"Click".

The cold handcuffs were put on.
