Chapter 132: Chapter 129: Villains Die From Talking Too Much
Chen Xing shot up from her seat and started to walk out, but Song Yiguo grabbed her arm. "What’s wrong?"
He glanced at the Great Commanders who were still seated.
Leaving like this would look really bad.
But Chen Xing couldn’t care less about others.
Her Meng Hu was under threat.
If something happened to Meng Hu, she would be the only one to suffer the loss.
Although, the possibility was slim.
"I have something urgent to do!" She couldn’t very well say that Meng Hu had sent her a message about being in danger.
Song Yiguo looked troubled and didn’t let go. "Then let me just inform King Baya. I’ll go with you!"
If Song Yiguo tried to stop her any longer, Chen Xing was about to shake him off.
For now, she could only be a little more patient.
But she was frantic inside.
Just as Song Yiguo was explaining that they had urgent business and had to leave the banquet, a call came in from Vice General Du. "This is bad, Young Master Song! A group of Superpower Users has cornered Chen Xing’s tiger inside the room!"
He wasn’t having an easy time either. He was surrounded by several dozen people and couldn’t break free to go in and help.
Even as he was making the call, his hands weren’t idle.
Song Yiguo looked at Chen Xing in surprise. After hanging up, he didn’t waste another word and bolted for the exit.
At the gate, soldiers from Baling Country blocked their path. With an exceedingly friendly and deferential tone, one said, "Please present your exit passes for inspection!"
Song Yiguo and Chen Xing were speechless.
’Are we being trapped in the Royal Palace?’
Just as Song Yiguo was about to reason with them, Chen Xing threw a punch and a kick, knocking down two guards and instantly bursting out of the Royal Palace.
Fortunately, no one else was blocking the way outside.
Song Yiguo was speechless.
’With that speed, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to go from the 30th floor to the 42nd in a few minutes!’
Chen Xing vanished from sight in an instant. He gave up on chasing her; he might as well go tear into King Baya instead.
’We come to attend a banquet, and now we need a pass to leave?’
’They’re obviously trying to stall for time!’
He glanced at the two soldiers who were spitting up blood, a smirk playing on his lips as he turned and walked back toward the banquet hall.
The Royal Palace was just two streets away from the hotel.
The street, which had been bustling with people on their way here, was now completely empty.
Sensing something was wrong, Chen Xing slowed down slightly and sent a command to Meng Hu: "Kill!"
’They were obviously using Meng Hu to lure me out.’
’And she wasn’t about to let them get away with it.’
Receiving its master’s command, the tiger excitedly began a massacre.
Chen Xing had always been sensitive, especially to danger.
She had deliberately slowed down to draw out Situ Lei Hao.
Sure enough, just as she passed a major street, Situ Lei Hao stepped out, positioning himself right in front of her.
His eyes were filled with a deep-seated hatred for Chen Xing.
His daughter was gone—she had been all his hope!
"You bitch! You dared to kill my daughter! However you tortured my daughter, I will torture you a thousand times over!"
’Song Yiguo hasn’t even shown up. There’s no better opportunity than this.’
’Once I kill this bitch, it won’t matter what Song Yiguo says.’
’Besides, the Song Family wouldn’t dare to truly fall out with the Situ family.’
A slight smile touched Chen Xing’s lips as she noted the countless Superpower Users hidden in the shadows.
’Situ Lei Hao must be feeling confident,’ she thought, ’which is why he hasn’t rushed to attack me.’
Seeing Chen Xing remain silent, Situ Lei Hao assumed she was scared. His face was a mixture of smugness and grief. "Speak! Did you kill Yuanyuan? How did you do it? If you confess, I’ll let you have an easy death!"
Chen Xing smiled again, showing no trace of fear. "Would you mind if I made a phone call?"
Situ Lei Hao gave a sinister smile, scorning her helplessness. "What, you want to call for backup?" He wasn’t afraid of her calling for help.
Some of Song Yiguo’s men were being tied up at the hotel by his own people, while the rest were farther away.
As for Song Yiguo, he was capable enough, but unfortunately, he was all alone.
If he didn’t show up, he could count himself lucky. If he did, he would only find his grave here.
Even if reinforcements did arrive, he would get word before they even got close, giving him enough time to kill the bitch in an instant.
"Go on, call. I’d like to see who you’re calling," Situ Lei Hao laughed, his tone wildly arrogant.
Chen Xing picked up her phone, and once the call connected, she said, "I’ll take care of Situ Lei Hao for you. I want two-tenths of the supplies."
Situ Lei Hao was standing a bit far away, and Chen Xing’s voice wasn’t loud, so he didn’t hear her clearly.
On the other end of the line, Song Yiguo was speechless.
"Don’t worry, he can’t hear me."
Just then, Situ Lei Hao’s cold sneer carried over the phone, "It’s no use even if you call Song Yiguo! No one can save you today!"
"Deal!" After Song Yiguo’s single-word reply, he hung up.
Although he didn’t quite believe Chen Xing could actually kill Situ Lei Hao, it didn’t matter. In any case, Situ Lei Hao didn’t know he was the one who had authorized her.
She was going to kill Situ Lei Hao anyway, and now there was a reward involved. Chen Xing’s eyes lit up.
She put her phone away. "Let’s do this."
The hatred in Situ Lei Hao’s eyes intensified.
’She’s about to die, yet she’s acting so calm. It makes my chest hurt with anger.’
He didn’t delay any longer. "Since you won’t confess, don’t blame me for being ruthless..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a gunshot. His body was thrown backward, and with a THUD, he collapsed to the ground.
’How powerful could one young woman be?’ he had thought.
’There were enough Superpower Users here to drown her in spit,’ so he hadn’t taken many precautions.
It’s true what they say: villains die from monologuing.
The Superpower Users waiting for his command hadn’t even had time to do anything.
It happened in an instant; they didn’t even see Chen Xing draw her gun.
Chen Xing wasn’t one to indulge him. She put away her gun.
’Much cleaner this way, isn’t it?’
For a brief two-second lull, the Superpower Users were all in a state of stunned confusion.
The slow-to-react Superpower User soldiers finally realized Situ Lei Hao had been killed and launched a joint attack on Chen Xing.
Chen Xing had no intention of getting bogged down in a fight. Receiving confirmation that Meng Hu was now safe, she immediately turned and ran back the way she came.
The Superpower Users giving chase saw their superpowers fly out, but none of them could hit Chen Xing.
Back at the Royal Palace, things were also in a state of chaos because Chen Xing had fought her way out.
Seeing Chen Xing return, none of the guards at the gate dared to step forward and stop her.
The two guards she had struck earlier weren’t dead, but they looked completely crippled.
When Song Yiguo saw Chen Xing had returned, he immediately went up to her. "What happened?"
’What he really wanted to ask was, "How did it go? Is Situ Lei Hao dead?"’
"I was attacked on the road, so I had no choice but to run back!"
Everyone was speechless. ’She doesn’t look like someone who was just attacked, does she?’
’A moment ago, those fists of hers looked pretty hard!’
King Baya approached, all subservience and humility. "For something like this to happen in our Capital City... Do you know who it was?"
Just moments ago, Song Yiguo had tearfully complained about the unfair treatment his girlfriend had received, rattling off a laundry list of the king’s failings. It had taken profuse apologies, offers of amends, and a promise of a hefty compensation for emotional damages (paid in oil) just to placate him.
It looked like he was going to have to bleed a lot more to satisfy these people.
"Situ Lei Hao!" After saying the name, Chen Xing fixed her eyes on King Baya.
King Baya showed no surprise. "How could it be Captain Situ? Isn’t he one of your Huaxia people? I’m afraid it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to get involved in your internal conflicts, would it?"
Chen Xing let out a cold laugh. "So I deserved it, then. The streets were full of people when we came over. Less than an hour later, there wasn’t a soul in sight. Oh... right. Maybe everyone in the Capital City decided to have lunch at the exact same time, so the only people left on the streets were Situ Lei Hao’s men?"
"There weren’t that many of them, just two or three thousand. It’s not easy to hide that many people where you wouldn’t notice them, right?" Although Chen Xing wasn’t a big talker, she wouldn’t mince words at a time like this.
