"Heh heh, want to have a go?" Housekeeper Adam’s fists cracked ominously as he looked at Li Rong with a mocking expression.
"It seems that you’re really seeking death!" Before Li Rong’s words even finished, his figure had already closed in, and the dual blades in his hands sliced towards Adam’s neck from both left and right.
Adam spread his arms wide, blocking Li Rong’s forearms to prevent the blades from reaching his neck.
But at that mont, the dual blades suddenly released two red sword beams, flying straight for Adam’s neck.
"Let’s see you not die this ti!" Li Rong’s face twisted into a savage smile, his mind already imagining the scene of Adam’s neck being severed by him.
At such a close distance, let alone Adam, even if it were Yang Yu, he would die too!
The two red sword beams slashed over Adam’s neck, but in an instant, the beams disappeared, and Adam’s neck was left completely unscathed!
Bang!
Adam’s fist landed squarely on Li Rong’s chest, sending him flying straight back.
"Pugh—" Li Rong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his internal organs burning as if engulfed by fierce flas, the searing pain unbearable.
"Since when did Yang Yu have such a strong foreign lackey? Too powerful!" Realizing he had underestimated his opponent and was seriously injured, Li Rong knew he would undoubtedly die if he continued to fight and chose to retreat at the first opportunity, "Run!"
Having driven Li Rong away, Adam too departed, returning to Mrs. Ryde’s side on the first floor.
The battle downstairs had also ended, and although Phoenix and Shen Yan were covered in wounds, they had finally eliminated all the assailants.
"Let’s go upstairs and check!" Ignoring their own injuries, they imdiately took the elevator to the top floor.
"Master!" When Phoenix saw the headless Xuan Liu, he let out a hysterical roar.
Shen Silin also ca out, and though she had never before been at a loss, she now knelt to the ground with a "plop": "Aunt Liu..."
Though she had faced many dangers over the years, this was the first ti she had lost soone so dear to her.
Especially seeing Phoenix holding his master’s head, tears streaming down, it felt as if her heart had been hollowed out, the pain unbearable.
Shen Yan, watching this scene, also felt an indescribable heartache.
Xuan Liu might not have been her master, but had guided her in Martial Arts, a truly fine elder.
And now, this elder had died a violent death – how could her heart not ache?
Shen Silin, holding back her sorrow, picked up her phone and dialed a certain number: "Target: Li Rong. At all costs, find this person. I want him alive!"
The mont Shen Silin issued her order for pursuit, her intelligence network and Yang Yu’s network mobilized together.
In other places, their networks might not be very effective.
But in Tianhai City, once their networks were activated, not even a bird would be able to fly out of Tianhai City!
On another front, Xia Yu, after learning what happened, imdiately dispatched all the masters from East Sea Garden, requesting that they must capture Li Rong.
One reason was to vent Shen Silin’s anger; the other was to establish authority, ensuring that everyone who thought to cross Yang Yu would witness Li Rong’s fate!
Yang Yu finally got off the plane and rushed to Shen Silin’s side at the first opportunity.
Shen Silin’s eyes were still red, but she was no longer as dispirited as before.
Looking at the haggard Shen Silin, Yang Yu felt deep remorse within his heart. "Selin, I’m sorry, it was my oversight..."
"It’s not your fault. You set up traps for and even a Feng Shui Array that could be used for hiding; everything was supposed to be completely safe," said Shen Silin. "But Aunt Liu worried that Li Rong might be able to decipher the traps and Feng Shui Array, and feared that he would harm Phoenix and Yanzi, so..."
"I’m going to capture Li Rong right now." Yang Yu was ready to take action, but Shen Silin grabbed his arm. "Xia Yu has already set up a tight net. Li Rong has been seriously injured; he can’t escape. You should go and comfort Phoenix instead, she has been holding Aunt Liu’s body the whole ti and refuses to speak."
"Alright." Yang Yu kissed Shen Silin’s forehead, then turned around to look for Phoenix.
When Yang Yu saw Aunt Liu’s decapitated body in the basent, his rage imdiately reached its peak.
Even though Aunt Liu had a fatal wound in her chest, with no chance of survival, Li Rong still went so far as to chop off her head.
For such a beast, no thod of death would be too severe!
"Yang Yu, you’re back," Phoenix finally began to speak, but her voice was devoid of emotion, "My master... she passed away like this."
Yang Yu walked over to Phoenix, calmly patting her shoulder. "Phoenix, my condolences."
Phoenix naturally leant her head against Yang Yu’s chest and tightly embraced him. "Yang Yu, I’ve lost another relative."
Yang Yu didn’t know how to console Phoenix, so he just held her, using his body heat to warm her cold body. "You still have and Selin; we will always be your relatives."
"Mhm." Phoenix let go of Yang Yu and nodded at him, "Yang Yu, I want to bring Li Rong here to kowtow to my master. Then, I will chop off his head myself."
"That’s possible," Yang Yu replied. "They will definitely capture Li Rong. You should go back upstairs and rest first, waiting for their news."
"No need," Phoenix shook her head. "I want to stay by my master’s side until Li Rong is captured."
"Alright then." Yang Yu sighed, "I’ll go upstairs first. I need to properly thank Mrs. Ryde and Housekeeper Adam."
Due to the unforeseen incident, the Silver Horse Club wasn’t doing business tonight, and the place was deserted.
Yang Yu ca to Mrs. Ryde’s private room, and bowed to Mrs. Ryde and Adam. "Thank you both for your help. I owe you a favor."
"Don’t ntion it," Mrs. Ryde smiled, "Last ti I was in danger, it was Sin Ning and Rena who saved . Friends don’t need to talk about debts."
"I still need to express my gratitude," Yang Yu insisted. "Mrs. Ryde, may I know what you wanted to see about?"
"I just ca here to play, and since I didn’t see you, of course, I wanted to et you," replied Mrs. Ryde. "Leaving the house is not so easy for , Hick is the heir to the family, but he has no intention of taking charge, so I still need to be at the helm of the Ryde Family."
"You have my thanks," said Yang Yu. "But I’m afraid I can’t keep you company at the mont; I need to resolve today’s events first."
"No problem," Mrs. Ryde said with a smile on her face. "I’m sure you’ll catch that guy soon."
"By the way, I heard it was Housekeeper Adam who scared off Li Rong." Yang Yu suddenly looked very serious at Mrs. Ryde. "I’m a little puzzled, since Housekeeper Adam wasn’t protecting you, what would you have done if a bad guy had broken in?"
"At that mont, I was only thinking of rescuing Mrs. Yang; I didn’t think too much about it," Mrs. Ryde explained with a shrug. "If a bad guy really had broken in, I really don’t know what I would’ve done."
