Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"Whatever he wants to do is not important. The first priority for the royal family now is to use his influence to reshape the image of the royal family. Everything else can be put on hold."

………………

Inside the hidden base, blood had already flowed like a river.

Several throwing knives transformed into streaks of light, swiftly hurtling towards the figure desperately fleeing into the darkness.

"Roar--"

After a roar, two figures rushed out of the darkness and stood in front of this figure.

"Sizzle—plop—"

In the blink of an eye, the throwing knife flashed with several streaks of blood, and the two figures let out two inhuman roars, like wounded wild beasts.

Only now, illuminated by the flashing blades, did their true forms become apparent: two bio-engineered soldiers.

The bio-engineered soldier was entirely crimson, his bulging muscles taut, and his ferocious face was etched with fear.

The fear of wild beasts never comes from death, but from another, more terrifying beast!

Under the faint moonlight, a footstep sounded, unhurried yet unusually fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

The newcomer was wearing a strange suit of armor that shimmered faintly in the moonlight.

At this moment, the throwing knife that had injured the bio-soldier flew back to her side, circling around her like the Truth-Seeking Balls in Naruto.

Even more terrifying, at this moment, her toes left the ground and she floated lightly in the air, having actually mastered the ability to fly!

A powerful aura swept over them, and the surging wind made both monsters tremble!

“Get out of here, you ridiculous things! I’m not in the mood to play around with you right now.”

At this moment, Vermouth was unleashing her full power, with an unprecedentedly powerful aura surrounding her!

Seeing the two monsters, even in fear, she refused to back down, a red glint flashing in her eyes.

"court death!"

With a raised right hand, he made a grasping motion, and the six flying knives that had been floating behind him transformed into streaks of light, then scattered into a sky full of stars, surrounding the two monsters from all directions. In the blink of an eye, the two monsters were covered in wounds.

"Hoohoho-"

The monster roared repeatedly, its thick arms acting on animalistic instincts to deflect the flying knives.

Their arms were covered in scales, and the throwing knives couldn't break through this layer of defense in a short time!

But just as they were struggling to cope, a figure transformed into a shooting star and suddenly charged forward. The graceful figure was almost within reach, and the blade hidden on the arm had already pierced through the chest of a bio-warrior!

After the blade pierced through, the powerful impact propelled the monster's body forward, and the protruding blade tip struck the wall again, leaving a wound. Drips of blood flowed along the wound, leaving a trail of blood on the wall.

The monster's eyes gradually dimmed; even the strongest vitality could not withstand such a level of injury.

Just then, her phone rang, and the headset built into her helmet transferred the call to her.

"Hey, it's so late, why are you calling me? Do you miss me? I thought you were enjoying some royal hospitality right now and wouldn't be thinking about me."

As he spoke, his long, slender legs kicked out, and the monster that had rushed forward was struck by the kick, its body flying several meters away, leaving a deep gash on the ground.

"Looks like you haven't finished cleaning up over there yet."

Vermouth shrugged: "That old man is dead and still won't let us have a moment's peace. He left behind quite a few good things, and there's something else you'll definitely be interested in, which I just discovered."

Miyazaki Yu was slightly curious: "You left behind something good? Is it research data on bio-warriors? That's certainly quite interesting."

Vermouth smiled slightly: "The place I am in now is indeed one of his very important secret bases, a place I have never heard of before. The information on the bio-warriors is indeed here, but that is not all."

This old fellow, along with some Europeans, has come up with some interesting things.”

After Vermouth finished speaking, Miyazaki Yu had a strange expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he told her in detail what had happened to him that day.

"Hmph, I knew it, those noble ladies are all very beautiful, aren't they?"

"Cough cough cough," Miyazaki Yu couldn't help but cough; a woman's perspective is just so strange.

"That's not the point. What I mean is, it seems we've discovered the same thing."

At this moment, Vermouth twisted her entire body in mid-air, her knee slamming upwards into the monster's chin, the spikes on her armor instantly piercing through it!

Then, with a downward reach of his left hand, his entire body spun around, and a huge, ferocious head was ripped off, blood gushing into the air.

In the dim light, a figure clad in armor effortlessly plucked the head off a monster.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would definitely be so frightened that they would go insane!

But to Vermouth, this scene was as simple as eating and drinking!

"Alright, alright, I'll organize those materials and send them to your email. You can take your time to look at them then. I have important things to do, and an old friend is waiting for me."

As she spoke, a ferocious look appeared on her face beneath the mask, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

"An old friend? It's him. Looks like you've had quite a haul today. Go on, make all the disobedient ones disappear."

"clear!".

Chapter 697 Rum's Struggle

'Da da da—'

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the damp underground pipes, and the stinking, dirty water soaked the trouser legs, carrying a disgusting stickiness and stench.

However, at this moment, these things were no longer of any concern to him.

He now has only one thought: to survive. Only by surviving can there be hope.

The icy coldness made him feel uncomfortable all over, but what was even more uncomfortable was the murderous aura he had sensed twenty minutes earlier!

What level of murderous intent was that?

His mind flashed back to the scene many years ago, in a warehouse where ice was produced, where he committed his first murder.

Warm, fresh blood was poured onto the icy, bone-chilling ice.

The line between red and white blurred completely at that moment. The bone-chilling cold, combined with the trembling of killing for the first time, made his scalp tingle and his soles sweat. Every pore on his body felt a unique, indescribable sensation at that time.

For so many years, he has been trying to get rid of this feeling, to get rid of this chilling stinging sensation!

But just now, he not only felt that feeling again, but his entire brain was recalling that feeling with unparalleled clarity, which almost drove him crazy.

"You shameless woman, you shameless woman, you shameless woman!"

He cursed desperately, gritting his teeth so hard they creaked, like a flimsy bed board asserting its presence on the bed.

The object of his curses was, of course, Vermouth.

Just now, he nearly died at Vermouth's hands.

"Why is this happening? What's going on? What's wrong with this world? Why did this monster appear?"

As he ran, he muttered to himself, his expression growing increasingly ferocious.

After Karasuma Renya's death, Rum, the organization's number two, was not actually saddened.

For someone with a strong desire for power, the death of the boss is not actually a bad thing, but rather a good thing.

With that person no longer in control, the entire organization is his.

He can allocate unimaginable amounts of money at any time, and he can also make people risk their lives for him at any time. This kind of power, which allows him to control life and death, is really exciting.

However, things quickly took an unexpected turn.

That is, he overlooked one person, and that person was Vermouth.

Even after Karasuma Renya's death, she did not stop. Instead, she pressed her advantage and, relying on her knowledge of the organization, began a frenzied revenge against the organization's bases around the world.

As the current leader of the organization, he immediately set several traps to lure Vermouth into an ambush and then kill her.

However, this woman's strength had completely exceeded his expectations.

Several attempts to encircle and kill her failed, and instead, after she destroyed several bases, she gathered a large number of armed forces.

In the underworld, there is no loyalty; only life and death, and strength, are the true indicators that determine one's position.

If you are powerful, then you are the king of the underworld!

At this time, Vermouth was undoubtedly the queen of the underworld, and her power was beyond doubt.

So those who wanted to live began to flock to her. The winner takes all, and the strong take everything; they were already used to it.

But others can surrender, such as Chianti and Cohen. As excellent snipers in the organization, and not high-ranking officers, they can be accepted as long as they surrender and swear allegiance to that woman.

But I am different; after Karasuma Renya's death, I am already the new leader of the organization.

If this woman wants to completely destroy the organization, then her own death is inevitable.

"No, I have worked hard to achieve my current power and status, and I must not admit defeat. If I walk another 500 meters, I will reach the special elevator that I have reserved for myself. By taking this elevator, I can immediately enter this underground base and go deep into the mountains within a minute. There is a helicopter that I have prepared in advance, and then I can leave safely."

"Boom! Bang!"

With a series of muffled sounds, a stone door crashed down not far behind him.

This was also a pre-arranged measure by Rum. In his mind, his entry into this place was already an extremely dangerous situation.

Since it is a crisis situation, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

There must be both secret escape routes and means to evade enemy pursuit.

"Hehe, Vermouth, you didn't expect this, did you? I specially made this door. It's an alloy door that can withstand the impact of artillery. Even if you use high explosives, it's impossible to destroy it easily in a short time. This gives me time."

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After continuing forward for a few more minutes, he came to a corner of the passage, then turned his watch. Suddenly, a dull sound came from the previously seamless wall.

Suddenly, an invisible door opened in the wall. The gap in the door was completely hidden in the texture of the wall, and it was not visible at all unless it was opened.

Stepping inside, you find yourself in a very small elevator lobby, just big enough for two people to stand side by side, but that's enough.

Upon entering, a camera inside the elevator scanned and confirmed his identity. The elevator then closed and began to move upwards at an extremely high speed.

"call--"

Once he arrived here, Rum finally felt relieved, though a burning pain shot through his body.

"That despicable bitch, how dare she hurt me? Does she think she can stand up to me just because she has Miyazaki Yu as her backer? Just you wait and see. Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll launch my revenge and make you suffer terribly!"

After the elevator doors reopened, what appeared was a corridor, at the end of which was a small black helicopter.
