“Menglu, Feng Lin, I can only take you two with me now. As for your friends, we’ll have to think of something later. Staying here won’t help,” the stylish girl who had just entered said through gritted teeth, her own face showing signs of tension as the situation spiraled out of her control.
“At least you still have some sense. I usually don’t like to meddle in these matters between girls, but this has gone too far,” Yang Xiaoyou remarked with a teasing tone, glancing at the girl.
Menglu was indeed right; her friend had a decent background and knew how to dress well. While she couldn’t quite compare to the likes of Beside, she was certainly a popular type.
At this age, it was normal for girls to have some strange ideas; it was just a matter of choosing the wrong target. Since she was willing to step up and take them away, it meant things hadn’t reached an irreparable point yet.
This gave Yang Xiaoyou some reassurance.
On the other side, Wen Xia’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou’s words. The people around her didn’t understand what was being said, but she realized that some of her thoughts seemed to have been picked up by Menglu’s friend. It felt like a subtle warning directed at her.
Thinking about this made her feel somewhat unsettled. She had initially hoped that he could help them out, but this fellow had repaid her kindness with ingratitude. At such a critical moment, he was more concerned about Menglu than anything else. Did he really think these security guards were legitimate? Just talking without taking action? He could easily end up captured and assaulted.
The fact that he prioritized Menglu’s safety over everything else stirred a wave of jealousy within her. She had never had such friends growing up; why did she have to be overshadowed by others in terms of grades, looks, and social skills?
“Are we leaving or not? If we don’t hurry, they might change their minds,” Wen Xia urged Menglu, deliberately ignoring Yang Xiaoyou’s comments.
At the same time, a sense of vindictive pleasure arose within her. Since he was so oblivious, she thought it best to leave him behind and let him see if this was really the right time for such words.
Upon hearing Wen Xia’s words, the group of security guards began whistling and jeering at them, clearly not taking the situation seriously.
“Ha ha, exactly! If you don’t leave now, you might not be able to later! Honestly, a beauty like this is worth dying for!” one guard laughed.
“Right? Just look at that skin and those features!” another chimed in.
But just as they began their taunts, a figure seemed to flicker in the room, followed by a sound that sent chills down their spines—a sharp ‘crack’ echoed through the air.
The ones who had spoken were sent flying backward almost simultaneously.
The impact slammed against the wall, causing a tremendous noise that made the walls of the private room tremble violently.
The once tightly packed circle suddenly became sparse, leaving only a few cats standing there in shock, seemingly unable to react to what had just happened.
Those who had been thrown against the wall like pancakes began to speak, and the atmosphere fell silent. A few others who were initially preparing to take their time also involuntarily closed their mouths due to the overwhelming visual shock.
Only the security captain's pupils contracted as he looked at Yang Xiaoyou, who seemed completely unfazed, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Just moments ago, even he could barely catch a glimpse of a visual afterimage, not clearly seeing the specific movements. However, he could confirm that the assailant must be that seemingly frail Refined Youth.
Although he was not considered top-tier in his own field, he was certainly not weak. Fan Ye had hired him for his skills!
After all, in the Chinese Empire, civilian forces had to be extremely cautious when using firearms; they primarily relied on their own strength to maintain order.
Yet now, he couldn't even see the opponent's movements clearly. Having half of his subordinates incapacitated—how could he compare? How could he compete?
If it were just him alone, facing such a fellow would naturally require a polite approach. However, since he had already accepted Fan Ye's money and the situation had escalated to this point, he felt compelled to act.
"Hmph! No wonder you're so fearless; turns out you're one of us. To be honest, at first I thought you were some young master with a powerful background because of your big talk. But now it’s clear—martial artists can be troublesome, but modern technology has diminished human physical strength to its lowest point! Now we’ll see whether your speed is faster or my bullets!"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as the security captain quickly made up his mind; since the opponent's trump card was already revealed, there was nothing left to hesitate about.
Regardless of the outcome, the other party had to give an explanation.
As he spoke, he swiftly pulled an old service pistol from his coat and lowered its muzzle while concealing it with his clothing.
The moment he gripped the gun, a sense of calm washed over him; even a decade-trained expert couldn’t withstand a bullet’s penetration!
Of course, for him personally, brandishing a gun served more as intimidation than practical use; as long as it kept the other party from acting recklessly, that was enough. He truly felt hesitant about actually firing it; things were tense enough as they were—if it came down to it, trouble would surely follow.
Upon seeing him draw a handgun here, Qi Menglu and Wen Xia both displayed expressions of fear.
Wen Xia had not anticipated that things would escalate to this extent. She still couldn't comprehend how a group of people had suddenly flown out, only to realize that they had even drawn their guns.
In the Chinese Empire, anything related to firearms could quickly turn into a troublesome situation.
“Tsk, you’re threatening my life and the safety of those I protect. So, even if I kill you, it would still fall within the scope of the Cooperation Terms, right?”
To the captain's surprise, upon seeing such a deadly weapon, the other party showed no signs of fear. Instead, they seemed quite intrigued.
In an instant, an ominous premonition surged in his mind. He could understand self-defense, but what exactly did the Cooperation Terms entail?
“Indeed, this is well within the limits we agreed upon. According to the Gun Permit, we have the authority to execute them on the spot. How cool is that? It’s my first time legally killing someone in a law-abiding country. Let me handle it!”
At that moment, a commotion outside made the security captain feel a chill run down his spine.
Suddenly, a Beautiful Figure dashed into the private room, brandishing a shiny new Silver Pistol aimed directly at the captain's head, her expression eager and ready for action.
