The Blue-eyed Monk, the Snake Woman "dusa," and the Ninja from the Sugimura Group concluded their verbal agreent. Although they still harbored ulterior motives, that was for later. For now, they needed to chop off Chu Ge's head.
After confirming that "dusa" and the Blue-eyed Monk had reached a safe distance, the ninja raised his sword, looking at Chu Ge on the ground, and flashed a sinister grin.
However, just as he was about to strike, he witnessed sothing that made him doubt his own eyes and heard a voice that made him doubt his ears.
Chu Ge opened his eyes and asked him a question.
"How much is your head worth?"
In utter shock, the ninja instinctively wanted to bring down the sword, but strangely, at that very mont, his mind went completely blank.
Chu Ge stood up, took the sword from the ninja's hand that was supposed to decapitate him in a fraction of a second, casually swung it, and sliced off the ninja's head.
Although the minds of "dusa" and the Blue-eyed Monk did not go blank, they were stunned for a second before they ca to their senses.
They exchanged a glance, and a sinister gleam appeared in dusa's eyes, "Kill him, and we split eighty million!"
In her mind, regardless of why Chu Ge wasn't dead, he must be at his last gasp now. The ninja's blade had pierced through Chu Ge's chest right under their noses, so how could he still have the ability to fight on?
Even though she was thoroughly convinced, "dusa" was overwheld by a strong sense of unease. She decided to use all her snakes to strangle Chu Ge, while she herself needed to maintain a safe distance from him.
"How much is your head worth?"
Yet... just as this question reached her ears, almost every inch of her skin felt a sharp pain, and the dozens of snakes she raised from birth, which always obeyed her like a part of her body, simultaneously turned against her.
With bones crushed and flesh torn apart, the self-proclaid Snake King "dusa" died without a whole body.
The Blue-eyed Monk was about to charge at Chu Ge, but upon witnessing the bizarre scene unfolding on "dusa," he lost the courage to confront Chu Ge. His footsteps staggered as he turned around, mustering all the strength left in his body to propel his wobbly legs, desperately running in the opposite direction of Chu Ge.
Suddenly, he faintly heard a gentle humd tune, and then he saw his own body running.
Yes, he saw his body running from a peculiar angle.
Only, at the place where his head should have been, there spurted a crimson blood arrow, and then, the body collapsed to the ground. At the sa ti, his eyes saw eternal darkness.
Looking at the Blue-eyed Monk's head, which died with eyes wide open, a blood-drenched, demonic-looking Chu Ge asked again, "How much is your head worth?"
Three days passed, and the entire island was shrouded in a strong sll of blood. Zhan Wushuang and his n searched nearly every inch of the island, only to find corpse after corpse, finding not a single living soul.
Liang Yongping, "Black Lotus," Song Baijia, and others awakened from their slumber, just as Chu Ge hoped, and had forgotten why they ca here. By then, they had already traveled far from the island.
A day after Zhan Wushuang and his n left, at dusk.
Several ships still docked on the island's shore, gently swaying with the waves. However, the people who sailed them here would never return.
Chu Ge sat on a high point of the island, watching the sun that would soon vanish beneath the horizon, painting the sea a golden red, and a small black dot approaching from afar in the sky, sighing softly.
"It's co, as expected."
It was an unmarked transport helicopter, descending slowly on the island. The blades stirred up dust and stones, and when the cabin door opened, a dozen n and won with black hair and eyes, wearing identical unmarked camo uniforms and masks, stepped out one by one.
Among these people, about half had visibly uncomfortable expressions beneath their masks because they had co to carry out a task they didn't want to perform.
Chu Ge rubbed his forehead and walked toward the landing site of the transport helicopter.
Even though he had long prepared ntally for this, which was why he remained on the island, purposefully avoiding Zhan Wushuang and his team's search, the thought of eting so forr comrades under such circumstances still left an indescribable taste in his heart.
"This ti, am I to be your target? Sending so many of you at once, the organization must really think highly of ."
In the twilight of the setting sun, Chu Ge stood opposite the dozen n and won, shrugged with a self-deprecating smile.
No one spoke. A man wearing an eagle-facade mask stepped forward, saluted Chu Ge, then took a set of camo uniforms identical to theirs from the man beside him who wore a grotesque demon mask.
The clothes were ticulously folded, and on top lay a mask covered with colorful intricate patterns, resembling an abstract totem.
Holding the clothes and mask with both hands, the man with the eagle mask presented them to Chu Ge with an attitude of extre respect.
Chu Ge's gaze lingered on the clothes and the mask for a few seconds, then he smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, it's not necessary. Since I refused that mission and left the organization, these things have nothing to do with ."
The eagle-faced man's hands trembled slightly, and the mask that Chu Ge once took pride in fell to the ground with a "plop," gently swaying in the wind. A few grains of wind-blown sand pattered against it, ringing softly.
The more patterns there are on the mask, the greater the contribution to the organization. The mask on the ground has far more patterns than those on the face masks of everyone present.
"Has he arrived?"
Chu Ge did not say the na of "him," but the eagle-faced man understood who "he" referred to, and a faint sigh ca from beneath the eagle-face mask.
"It seems he has indeed arrived."
Chu Ge revealed his signature smile and began walking towards the transport helicopter behind the wall of people directly ahead.
Swish, swish, swish...
As soon as Chu Ge lifted his foot, everyone except the eagle-faced man raised their guns in unison, all pointing directly at Chu Ge's head. The air was thick with the sll of blood, adding to the ominous atmosphere.
"King, don't force us," the eagle-faced man grasped Chu Ge's wrist.
Chu Ge smiled nonchalantly, as if he hadn't noticed those dark gun barrels, and continued to move forward.
"Lower your guns, clear the way."
From behind the wall of people, a slightly aged man's voice ca through.
It was a man wearing a silver mask, devoid of any ornantation, only with an icy sheen, standing in front of the helicopter, his gaze fixed directly on Chu Ge.
All gun barrels turned downward, and Chu Ge crossed through the opening in the wall of people, walking towards the man.
"Long ti no see."
"Long ti no see."
"Shall we take a walk?"
"Sure."
The eagle-faced man heard the dialogue and called out urgently, "Commander!"
"Without my orders, don't co over." The silver-masked man waved his hand and walked shoulder to shoulder with Chu Ge.
This was the first ti Chu Ge walked side by side with his forr commander. A few years ago, he would have been overwheld, but now... he felt nothing.
They stopped about one hundred ters away from the crowd.
"It seems you knew we were coming long ago? Even knew I would co personally?"
"Actually, I wasn't very sure. Let's not talk about that. Are you involved with Chu Chengrui's experints too?"
"Why do you ask?"
"With your vast capabilities, it's hard to believe Chu Chengrui could keep such a large operation hidden from you. Moreover, what he's doing is exactly what you wanted to do. If there's any difference between you, it's probably that he's doing it for himself, and you're doing it for the country."
"Chu Mu and so key scientific staff under Chu Chengrui are my people. I was close to succeeding, but you ruined it. Now you've killed everyone who ca to kill you, and the organization is fixated on you. It's regrettable, truly regrettable."
"So it is..." Chu Ge's smile beca even more playful, "Now that we're so far from them, aren't you afraid I'll be so enraged I'll kill you?"
"Your heart isn't hard enough. You always ponder things you shouldn't, so you can't do it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have refused that mission and left the organization."
Chu Ge let out a slow breath, recalling the task he was given to assassinate a certain official.
In his impression, that official was a genuinely good person. His secret investigation uncovered that the official was actually a senior mber of his organization, and he couldn't help but question the purpose of the mission, but received no answers.
In theory, Chu Ge and his kind were supposed to exist like weapons, and as weapons, they should have the resolve for "absolute execution," but sadly, Chu Ge lacked that, so he chose to leave the organization he was once proud of, known as "Hundred Fury."
Hundred Fury, a global military secret organization.
Hundred refers to the organization consisting of only one hundred mbers, only elite military personnel from around the world with certain special abilities are qualified to beco mbers.
Fury has two anings. First is the danger of being in the organization; every Hundred Fury mber could beco a martyr any ti, an unknown martyr to the world.
The second aning refers to the flas, the Fury of Hundred Fury could burn the heavens.
