Chapter 167 The Hunt Begins
At this point in the conversation, Lu Mingfei was almost certain that Chen Motong's family, the Chen family, was definitely involved in the artificial dragon king incident.
But to avoid killing the wrong person, he cautiously asked the system in his mind:
"System, is the Chen family one of the families that instructed Herzog to conduct the artificial dragon king experiment?"
[System notification: Confirming this issue requires 50 points. Upon confirmation, the real-time locations of all members of this family will be provided.]
[System prompt: Confirm?]
Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly: "They still want points at a time like this? They're really taking advantage of our misfortune!"
However, knowing where everyone is is indeed very convenient.
Just as Chen Motong said, her brothers and sisters are scattered all over the world and have integrated into different countries.
Although it's winter break now, she hasn't been back for so many years, who knows what the situation has become?
"Confirmed!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and agreed.
[System notification: The host's question is true. The Chen family is indeed secretly carrying out a plan to create an artificial dragon king.]
[System notification: The Chen Motong before you is the "vessel" used by the Chen family to steal the Black King's power!]
Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed, and he stared intently at Chen Motong.
Good heavens, Chen family, you've got some nerve!
[System notification: The locations of all Chen family members have been marked for the host. Please check the system map.]
Lu Mingfei calmly opened the system map. He wanted to see if Erii and Chen Motong were truly related by blood.
really!
On the map, next to the green dot representing himself, two glaring red dots immediately appeared, marking Chen Motong and Erii respectively.
But this is not over yet!
Around the area representing the Genji Heavy Industries building on the map, there were more than a dozen identical red dots flashing in dense clusters!
Lu Mingfei's eyes instantly turned cold, and he immediately closed the map.
He turned to Chen Motong, his voice as cold as ice: "Chen Motong, answer me a question."
"What's the problem?" Chen Motong was startled by his sudden change in attitude.
Lu Mingfei cut to the chase: "If I were to kill every single member of your Chen family right now, without leaving a single one alive, would you seek revenge against me?"
"No!" Chen Motong's answer was crisp and decisive, surprising everyone.
Lu Mingfei stood up abruptly and gave the order in rapid succession:
"Ling, Mai, Enxi! Take Erii, Xiaoqiang, and Miaomiao with you right now! Go to where Erii used to live! Guard the gate!"
"Xia Mi, Zhi Sheng, Senior Brother! Keep an eye on Chen Motong! Don't let anyone suspicious get close!"
"Immediately notify the Snake Clan: all capable fighters, assemble at the Lai Clan Heavy Industries Building! Enter maximum alert status!"
He looked specifically at Xia Mi, his tone icy and unquestionable:
"Xia Mi, if anyone dares to break in, no matter who it is—kill them on sight!"
"Understood!" The usually lively Xia Mi now had a serious face, exuding a dangerous aura.
To eliminate the threat completely, Lu Mingfei didn't hesitate and immediately asked the system in his mind again:
"System, did the Gattuso family also instruct Herzog to conduct experiments on artificial dragon kings?"
[System notification: Confirming this issue requires 50 points. Upon confirmation, the real-time locations of all members of the family will be provided.]
[System prompt: Confirm?]
"Confirmed!" Lu Mingfei answered without hesitation.
[System notification: The host's question is true. The Gattuso family is indeed secretly carrying out a plan to create an artificial dragon king.]
[System notification: The locations of all Gattuso family members have been marked for the host.]
After two confirmations, 100 points vanished instantly, leaving only 10. But Lu Mingfei felt the money was well spent.
The remaining enemies, after the Chen and Gattuso families are destroyed, will either hide or jump out to their deaths.
Regardless of which one, the result is the same.
The people in the conference room moved quickly, and everyone immediately did as Lu Mingfei instructed.
In the blink of an eye, only Lu Mingfei, Xia Mi, Yuan Zhisheng, Chu Zihang, and Chen Motong, who was being watched, remained in the room.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Zihang, who hadn't said much until now, asked.
"Go kill people." Lu Mingfei's answer was simple and direct, "Kill everyone in the Chen family and the Gattuso family."
"Their people are all over the world, how did you find their exact location?" Chu Zihang asked, frowning.
“I have my own methods,” Lu Mingfei said confidently.
He turned to leave, but Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment before saying:
“The Gattuso family… has a man named Caesar. If possible… don’t kill him.”
"He probably won't seek revenge on you... probably," Chu Zihang added.
“Okay.” Lu Mingfei readily agreed, but his eyes remained cold. “I’ll deal with the others first.” If that Caesar dared to show hostility, he wouldn’t hold back either.
"I'm leaving this place to you," Lu Mingfei said as a final instruction.
"Lu Mingfei!" Chen Motong's face turned pale, her voice filled with suppressed anger and confusion. "I don't understand! I, a member of the Chen family, am standing right in front of you, why won't you kill me?!"
Lu Mingfei paused, turned his head, and gave a cold smile:
"Just consider it... I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I'll let you off the hook."
Before he could finish speaking, a blinding silver light flashed, and Lu Mingfei's figure vanished like lightning into the sunlight outside the window.
Why not kill them?
He just felt sorry for the woman.
To be honest, it was because her situation was similar to Erii's that Lu Mingfei felt something for her.
……
Outside the Genji Heavy Industries Building.
The winter sun hung in the leaden-gray sky, sparingly casting its pale and weak rays.
The air was cold and dry, and the fresh snow from last night covered the streets and rooftops, reflecting a blinding white light in the sunlight.
The cold glass curtain wall of the Genji Heavy Industries building reflects the sparse clouds and snow-covered city, creating a desolate and silent atmosphere.
The snow on the streets below was cleared into black veins, traffic moved slowly, and the white breath exhaled by pedestrians quickly dissipated in the cold wind.
Lu Mingfei hovered at the edge of the shadow on the building's exterior wall, half of his body exposed to the cold winter sunlight.
A cold wind swept across the snow-covered rooftops, carrying a bone-chilling cold.
His black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and his thin clothes seemed to ignore the low temperature.
He closed his eyes.
Consciousness sank into the mind, and the energy map instantly unfolded.
Beside its own green light spots, countless crimson spots, like boiling sores, tightly surrounded Genji Heavy Industries.
Dozens!
Lurking in the shadows of snow-covered street corners, lurking behind the cold glass windows of office buildings across the street, disguised as snow shovelers on the roadside, or people waiting for the bus while warming their hands behind bus stop signs... like cold, venomous snakes under the snow.
A chilling killing intent emanated from him, even more intense than the cold wind.
Silent.
Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes, his right hand pointing down at the city below, covered in a thin layer of snow and reflecting a cold light, and at the countless scarlet malices on the map, and gently pressed down!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of invisible sword energies left only extremely brief, faint spatial ripples in the frigid air due to their extreme speed!
They are silent, supersonic, like precise and deadly ice needles dropped by Death at midday in winter.
Inside the office building opposite Genji Heavy Industries, a man observing through a cold one-way glass using a high-powered monitor suddenly froze on the serious expression on his face.
A barely perceptible chill ran through his brow, and his body went limp. He silently slid off the chair and collapsed onto the thick carpeted floor.
The last image captured on the monitor screen was that silvery-white dot hovering in the air.
Near the exit on the ground floor of the building, a "worker" wearing thick overalls was shoveling snow off the steps, his shovel slamming onto the frozen concrete with a loud thud.
He swayed and fell forward onto the black ground that had just been cleared.
A drop of crimson blood, stark against the backdrop of pale snow, seeped from between his eyebrows beneath his hat brim, dripping onto the cold, black cement floor and instantly freezing into a small, dark red ice crystal.
Behind the bus stop sign, a "passenger" wrapped in a thick scarf, constantly stamping his feet and warming his hands, suddenly stiffened, then slid down softly against the cold billboard.
A thick scarf covered most of his face, with only a faint smell of blood mixed with his breath, which was quickly dispersed by the cold wind.
There were no screams, no loud noises.
There were only a few extremely short, muffled thuds of falling to the ground or the sound of metal hitting the ground, amplified by the winter silence.
Crimson bloodstains quickly congealed between the eyebrows of the fallen, resembling solidified blood diamonds in the cold light reflected from the snow.
The chilling smell of blood had barely dissipated when it was torn apart and swept away by the biting wind.
The passing of life seemed particularly abrupt and silent on this cold winter noon.
Outside the Genji Heavy Industries building, dozens of crimson dots were completely extinguished on the map.
Chapter 168 Vulnerable
Imperial Hotel Tokyo, penthouse suite.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city is half-covered in ice and snow, gleaming with a metallic coldness under the pale midday sun.
The room was well-heated, and the expensive carpet absorbed all footsteps.
