From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

The floor tiles under Lilith's feet cracked to the edge of the coffee table, and the water glass on the table rolled off the floor, scattering shards all over the place.

She glanced around the living room, her gaze settling on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ye Zhiwei was guarding the entrance, Lu Yunzhou was behind the sofa, and the stairwell on the second floor was temporarily empty.

She can jump into the yard as long as she breaks the glass.

Lilith turned her foot and rushed towards the French windows.

"Lu Yunzhou, you wait, Bai Jingchuan will chop everyone around you to pieces!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of fabric rubbing came from the second floor.

Bai Wantang flipped over the railing and jumped down, breaking a paving stone as she landed, which blocked the path between her and the window.

Lilith paused, swung her silver handbag at Bai Wantang, and simultaneously reached for her waist with her right hand.

The bag was knocked open.

A short blade popped out from inside, its cold light grazing Bai Wantang's face.

Bai Wantang turned her head away and grabbed Lilith's wrist with her hand.

The first move is to use leverage to pull back.

Lilith lost her balance and was dragged back to the living room, the short blade falling from her hand to the ground.

She gritted her teeth, channeled her inner energy, and slammed her shoulder into Bai Wantang.

Bai Wantang raised her knee and pressed it against her abdomen.

With her second move, Lilith bent over, letting out a muffled groan as most of her inner energy dissipated.

Bai Wantang grabbed her collar, spun her around halfway, and swept her right leg across the back of her knee.

The third move landed.

Lilith slammed one knee to the ground, her bones unable to withstand the force, and her knee twisted into an odd angle on the spot.

She braced herself on the ground with her palms and tried to get up, but Bai Wantang had already stepped on her back.

Lilith coughed up blood, her other leg still struggling.

Bai Wantang lifted her foot and landed.

With a click.

Lilith's other knee was also broken.

She lay in the blood, her hands gripping the carpet, her fingernails leaving white marks.

Ye Zhiwei stood by the door, blood dripping from the short blade in her hand.

She looked at Lilith without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

Several years ago, the people of Gray Tower hunted down the Ravenfeather Squad.

They were forced into the valley, their teammates fell one by one, and Bai Wantang was also captured and imprisoned in an underground warehouse where she suffered endless torture.

Bai Wantang remembers the face of everyone in Gray Tower during that period.

Lilith propped herself up, her hair falling over her face, her mouth filled with the taste of blood.

"Bai Wantang, you dare to kill me?"

She clenched her teeth, her voice hoarse.

"Bai Jingchuan stands behind me, and Gray Tower has twenty-seven men. They have guns and explosives; you can't protect everyone!"

Bai Wantang's shoe sole pressed against her shoulder blade, but her body did not move.

Lilith smirked and started cursing again.

"You bunch of rats hiding in the gutter, relying on Lu Yunzhou to put on a show, do you really think you can fight against Ninth Master? Once Bai Jingchuan makes his move, Feng Qianyi, Ye Churan, and Su Qingwan, none of them will escape!"

Ye Zhiwei gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and took a step forward.

Lu Yunzhou reached out to stop her.

He sat back down on the sofa, took out his cigarette case, and lit one.

The firelight reflected on his face, and smoke drifted from his nostrils.

Lilith looked up at him, her voice filled with barely suppressed ruthlessness.

"Lu Yunzhou, let me go now, and I might say a few good words for you. But if you kill me, many people in Sheng'an will pay with their lives after tonight."

Lu Yunzhou, with a cigarette between his fingers, fixed his gaze on her.

"kill."

There is only one word.

Bai Wantang pushed off with her feet.

Lilith braced herself with her hands on the ground and crawled forward half a foot, her neck already pinned down by the shoe.

She tried to speak, but her neck broke first.

The struggle stopped.

The only sound in the living room was the repetitive music from a video game, and three corpses lay on the floor.

Ye Zhiwei walked to Hans's side, bent down to pick up the military knife, and casually wiped the bloodstains off the corpse's clothes.

Bai Wantang withdrew her foot, squatted down next to Lilith, and took out a slender glass bottle from the inside pocket of her coat.

The bottle was only as thick as a thumb and contained a semi-transparent liquid.

The liquid sloshed against the bottle wall; it was very light in color, and a black feather-like pattern was pressed near the bottom of the bottle.

Lu Yunzhou looked up.

"Something made of raven feathers?"

Bai Wantang uncorked the bottle and looked at the three corpses on the ground.

"For clearing the area."

She tilted the bottle, and the liquid fell onto Hans's clothes.

Hissing sounds rang out one after another.

The black fabric first developed a hole, the skin and flesh quickly melted away, and the white bones, once exposed, also began to soften.

Blood flowed along the edge of the carpet, creating tiny bubbles as it fell onto the floor tiles.

Ye Zhiwei stood to the side, her brows furrowed.

Bai Wantang didn't stop, and dripped the remaining liquid onto Jack and Lilith.

White mist rose from the three corpses simultaneously.

The flesh on the ground gradually disappeared, the bones broke into several pieces, and then turned into a light-colored liquid.

In less than half a minute, all three of them had vanished without a trace.

Clothes, shoes, and tactical vests were piled up on the spot; there was no blood on the fabric, and no bone fragments were left on the ground.

A faint medicinal fragrance, tinged with a hint of sweetness, wafted through the living room.

Ye Zhiwei squatted down and touched the pool of liquid with the tip of her knife.

As soon as the blade tip touched the surface, a wisp of white smoke immediately rose from the metal.

She immediately sheathed her knife and stood up.

Bai Wantang put the empty bottle back into her pocket.

"Don't touch it. Inanimate objects will dissolve if they get on it, and living people will only get burned. Just wipe it off immediately."

Lu Yunzhou got up and walked to the ground, the cigarette butt burning halfway between his fingers.

The three people who were just crowding the living room are now down to their clothes.

He crouched down and picked up a piece of the corroded carpet edge.

The fabric quickly crumbled into dust and fell to the ground.

"How much of this is left?"

Bai Wantang glanced at him.

"The Raven Feather Twelve Teams only have three bottles left."

Lu Yunzhou stubbed out his cigarette in the empty glass, his gaze lingering on the few pieces of clothing.

If you encounter an opponent with strong defensive skills, break their arms and legs first, then use the corpse-dissolving liquid to dispose of them, saving you the trouble of collecting the body.

This is a bit of a waste to use against ordinary people, but it's perfect for enemies who are protected by true qi and whose corpses are difficult to dispose of.

Bai Wantang saw through his plan and immediately placed her hand on the bottle.

"Don't try it on randomly."

Lu Yunzhou raised his eyes.

"I know what I'm doing."

Ye Zhiwei kicked Lilith's purse against the wall, from which several access cards, two magazines, and a satellite phone fell out.

She bent down to pick up the phone; the screen was still lit.

The latest news comes from Bai Jingchuan.

Only one sentence.

Lilith, reporting.

Ye Zhiwei handed the screen to Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou took the phone, his thumb paused on the message, and then he threw the phone into the zombie-eating water.

The hissing sound rang out again.

The phone casing quickly deformed, the screen cracked, and finally sank into a light-colored liquid.

He turned to look at Bai Wantang and Ye Zhiwei.

"Clean this place up."

They both nodded at the same time.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the broken doorway and stepped over the scattered wood chips.

The river breeze from outside blew into the living room, carrying away the scent of medicine and the last traces left by the corpse.

He glanced back at the clothes on the ground, his gaze darkening.

Bai Jingchuan's men have already entered Sheng'an.

From tonight onwards, there will be no more probing between the two sides.
