Zhuge Feng held the remote control, anxiously flipping through channels. He had been waiting since dusk; it was now 2 a.m. As soon as it got dark, he had been filled with anticipation, but as ti ticked by, his anticipation turned to disappointnt, and now to a slow sense of desolation.
There was still a faint pain in his arm, but such a minor injury was nothing to him. However, thinking about her worried expression today brought a touch of warmth to his heart.
After arriving in Beijing, he had put his past completely behind him. He hadn’t been sought out by anyone, and nobody had bothered him. He had been living a peaceful, tranquil life here.
This was the life he had always wanted, and now Shangguan You had made it possible for him. But he didn’t know how much longer this life could last, or how much more ti he could spend by her side.
Today’s strangeness at the lake, that odd old man, and the prophecy of blood—others might have thought the old man was talking nonsense, but Zhuge Feng knew the old man had so abilities, even able to predict such things.
Being able to live in peace for a few months and evade their pursuit was already his limit. Perhaps they would find him soon.
The thought of being taken back made Zhuge Feng toss the remote control to the floor in irritation. His cute, baby-like face was now grave; he stood up from where he had been leaning back, and his eyes suddenly grew cold.
A chill emanated from Zhuge Feng, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, making one feel exceptionally cold. At this mont, Zhuge Feng seed like a person who had walked out of darkness, a stark contrast to his dayti appearance.
"Since you’ve co, why not show yourself?" His voice was cold, ruthless, and indifferent. A black handgun quickly appeared in Zhuge Feng’s hand, and without hesitation, he fired a shot toward a certain spot in the room.
A BANG echoed loudly in the night. The room, previously empty, was suddenly filled with five shadows following the gunshot. Dressed entirely in black, with lifeless, expressionless faces, their eyes were fixed on Zhuge Feng in the center.
The five ford a circle, trapping Zhuge Feng at its center. The foremost one spoke, his voice as calm, wooden, and indifferent as their expressions. Zhuge Feng’s tone when he had just spoken had been exactly the sa, as was the expression on his face.
It was clear that they all ca from the sa place.
"Young Master, please co back with us."
"Hmph." Zhuge Feng sneered coldly, his eyes sweeping over iyi and the four others positioned around him.
"Go back and tell that old bastard that even if I die, I’m not willing to go back. The mont I left, I started living my own life. That old bastard’s bullet didn’t kill , but I am no longer who I was. My life and my soul belong to my Master."
Zhuge Feng scoffed cruelly, his face icy cold. The innocent, fawn-like Zhuge Feng was nowhere to be seen.
"Young Master, it would be best if you co back and explain to the Master in person." iyi spoke coldly, and as he talked, the five figures sprang into action, all attacking Zhuge Feng at once. Their mission was to take the Young Master back; as long as he was still breathing, the mission would be considered complete—so their attacks showed no rcy.
Every strike targeted Zhuge Feng’s vital points; five n, ten hands, ten eyes, firmly locking onto Zhuge Feng.
"You’re using this trick again?" Zhuge Feng cursed coldly, swiftly dodging away. Wasn’t it the sa move they used last ti?
"Get lost!" Zhuge Feng roared, and BANG, BANG, BANG—bullets from his handgun flew toward iyi and his companions. The bullets, as if guided by eyes, zood towards their bodies. The five figures twisted and retreated mid-air, adeptly avoiding the bullets, which buried themselves deep into the walls.
"Young Master, it’s useless. Co with us," iyi spoke coldly again, an eerie calmness in his eyes. He reached out swiftly, grabbed Zhuge Feng’s hand, and with a CLANG, the gun fell to the floor.
"iyi, for him to send you all to capture , he’s really gone to great lengths and is giving far too much credit." Zhuge Feng sneered. Against anyone else, perhaps he could escape, but against iyi and his four companions, all top-tier experts, he didn’t stand a chance of fleeing.
"You’ve always been most important to the Master. You’ve enjoyed the peace ordinary people have for these three months. You’ve already obtained what you desired. The ti the Master granted you has co to an end. To ensure the safety of the person who once helped you, so that person may live in peace, please co back," iyi continued coldly, his persuasive words laced with threats, as chilling as ever.
"Get lost! Even if you kill , I won’t go back!" Zhuge Feng roared. Going back there was a nightmare to him. He had barely escaped and would rather die than return.
"Young Master, forgive our offense," iyi said coldly, signaling to the other four. They approached together, two aiming for his hands, two for his feet.
"iyi, just kill !" Zhuge Feng dodged the four while speaking coldly, quickly exposing the weakest point of his chest to iyi and his companions.
Against these five, he knew he could only be captured, but he was truly unwilling. Returning there was like going back to a place that devoured people whole. He just wanted to be an ordinary person.
"Young Master." iyi stepped back several paces, and the other four retreated as well. They knew Zhuge Feng’s chest was vulnerable; he was now exposing its weakest spot. A re touch there could kill him, so they naturally backed off.
Zhuge Feng sneered, watching the five step back. He kicked out fiercely and quickly ran towards the room’s exit.
"Young Master, you know this is futile. Why waste your energy?"
