Southern suburbs, abandoned factory.
Surrounded by several subordinates, Asura strode into the abandoned factory. His gaze fell on Mu Xiuzhen, who was bound tightly to a chair, and a wicked smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
“Who are you people? Why have you kidnapped me?” Mu Xiuzhen glared furiously at Asura. That afternoon, as she was heading home after work, black-clad masked men had suddenly blocked her path. She hadn’t even had a chance to resist before being seized.
This filled Mu Xiuzhen with both rage and humiliation. She was a police officer, yet she had been powerless against common criminals.
“Mu Xiuzhen, is it?” Asura stepped right up to her, staring fixedly at her beautiful face, and smiled. “As expected of Tianhai City’s police flower, a true beauty who could topple kingdoms.”
“Since you know I’m a police officer, you still dare to abduct me?” Mu Xiuzhen stared coldly at Asura.
“Police officer? Ha ha, and what if you are? There’s no one I don’t dare to seize.” Asura sneered. To him, police officers were no different from ordinary people. He took whoever he wanted, killed whoever he wanted.
“You’re breaking the law.” Mu Xiuzhen said icily.
“Breaking the law?” Asura burst into laughter, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at her. “Truly big-chested but brainless, daring to lecture me about the law. Brothers, tell this woman what the law is.”
“The boss’s word is the law!”
The surrounding Blood Sand assassins roared in unison.
“Exactly. I am the law. Anyone who defies my will is breaking the law, and for such people there is only one path, death.” Asura declared smugly.
Mu Xiuzhen’s expression shifted slightly.
“But I have to say, you’re far more beautiful than all those other women I’ve played with. If you weren’t still useful, I’d take you right now.” Asura grinned lewdly.
“Who are you?” Mu Xiuzhen demanded.
“Who am I? I’ll tell you, I’m Asura.” Asura smiled, reached out, lifted Mu Xiuzhen’s chin, and examined her lovely face closely. “What a stunning beauty. The moment I saw you, I could barely hold myself back.”
“Let go of me.” Mu Xiuzhen struggled, but bound tightly as she was, she couldn’t move an inch.
“Such a feisty little chilli. I like that. You’ll be delicious.” Asura laughed evilly.
Pah!
Mu Xiuzhen spat directly into his face. “Shameless.”
Slap!
Without hesitation, Asura backhanded her across the face and said coldly, “Bitch, don’t push your luck. Falling into my hands and still daring to throw a tantrum, you must have a death wish.”
The slap was heavy and vicious. Five clear finger marks appeared on Mu Xiuzhen’s face, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of her mouth.
Asura took out a handkerchief, wiped the spit from his face, and asked the middle-aged man beside him, “Have you made the call?”
“It’s done. With Mu Xiuzhen here, Li Feng will definitely come.” The middle-aged man replied quickly.
Li Feng?!
Mu Xiuzhen froze. These criminals had kidnapped her because of Li Feng? What was their aim?
“Is everything arranged?” Asura asked coldly.
“Everything is fully prepared. The moment Li Feng arrives, he won’t be able to fly away even if he grows wings.” The middle-aged man answered.
“Excellent. This time I want Li Feng to die without a burial place.” A chilling light flashed through Asura’s eyes.
They want to kill Li Feng?
Hearing this, Mu Xiuzhen’s expression changed again. She had never imagined that the reason they seized her was to kill Li Feng. Did they really believe she and Li Feng were involved?
At this moment, Mu Xiuzhen’s feelings were extremely complicated. She both hoped Li Feng would come and hoped he would not.
Asura’s gaze settled on Mu Xiuzhen and he smiled. “What’s wrong? Hearing that I’m going to deal with Li Feng, are you feeling nervous and uneasy?”
Mu Xiuzhen gave a cold laugh. “Nervous? Uneasy? What a joke. I have absolutely no relationship with Li Feng. If you think you can use me against him, you’re sorely mistaken.”
“No relationship at all?” Asura sneered, disdain flashing in his eyes. “Mu Xiuzhen, a few days ago you and Li Feng were intimately embracing on the street. Do you think I didn’t investigate? Idiot.”
“What?” Mu Xiuzhen’s face changed. A few days ago, that must refer to the time when she was investigating that batch of chemical equipment and Li Feng had pinned her against a wall and kissed her. Damn it, how did these people know?
“Heh heh, speechless now, are you? That Li Feng certainly enjoys good fortune in love. Having a great beauty like Hu Yuanyuan isn’t enough for him, he even managed to seduce a gorgeous police flower like you.” Envy flickered in Asura’s eyes. He sought women for cultivation, but women of Hu Yuanyuan’s and Mu Xiuzhen’s calibre were rare.
“You’re talking nonsense. There’s nothing between Li Feng and me.” Mu Xiuzhen said angrily, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“No relationship? Fine, no relationship. If Li Feng comes, I’ll kill him first, then thoroughly enjoy you. If he doesn’t come, that’s even better, you can just wait to be enjoyed properly. Either way, today you, Mu Xiuzhen, are my woman. You won’t escape.” Asura smiled smugly. The moment he had seen her photograph, he had already decided that no matter what, he would possess Mu Xiuzhen.
His cultivation technique placed high demands on women. Different women yielded different benefits. Just looking at Mu Xiuzhen, he could tell she was completely unlike the women he had toyed with these past few days. If he used her for cultivation, he might break through very quickly.
At the same time, he was even more eager for Li Feng’s other woman, Hu Yuanyuan. That woman gave him an even stronger feeling than Mu Xiuzhen, an absolute treasure. If he broke through using Mu Xiuzhen and then enjoyed Hu Yuanyuan afterwards…
At this thought, Asura laughed triumphantly. If he could break through again using Hu Yuanyuan, he might one day become a gold-rank assassin. Although gold-rank and silver-rank differed by only one word, the gap between them was like heaven and earth.
“You, you, you…” Mu Xiuzhen’s face paled, her eyes blazing as she stared at Asura.
“Angry, are you? I just love seeing that look of furious despair on a woman’s face. Those dozen or so women my men grabbed these past few days all had the same expression at first, but what of it? None escaped my grasp.” Asura’s face was full of excitement. He loved watching women despair. That feeling was simply too satisfying.
A sudden thought struck Mu Xiuzhen. “The women who have gone missing in Tianhai City these past few days, it was you.”
“As expected of the beautiful police flower, not completely brainless. Yes, those incidents were my doing. And now you have the honour of becoming one of them.” Asura admitted without the slightest concealment. To him, Mu Xiuzhen was merely meat already in his mouth, impossible to escape.
“You deserve to die. One day, you will be brought to justice.” Mu Xiuzhen stared coldly at Asura, her eyes filled with fury. She had never imagined that this Asura was the mastermind behind the recent disappearances in Tianhai City.
“Ha ha, bring me to justice? Do you police really have that ability? If you did, would you be in my hands right now?” Asura sneered. In his view, Mu Xiuzhen’s words were utterly idiotic. This woman had clearly been a police officer for too long and was filled with that so-called sense of justice.
Mu Xiuzhen glared at Asura in rage, yet she could find no rebuttal. As a police officer, she couldn’t even withstand a single move from Asura’s subordinates. With such strength, how could she bring them to justice?
In this moment, Mu Xiuzhen began to doubt herself as a police officer. Could being a police officer really rid the world of evil and protect the good?
Tap, tap, tap…
Footsteps echoed. A burly man approached Asura. “Boss, Li Feng is here.”
“Ha ha, Li Feng really came.” A sharp glint flashed through Asura’s eyes. He looked meaningfully at Mu Xiuzhen and said, “Mu Xiuzhen, it seems Li Feng cares about you a great deal.”
“He really came?” Mu Xiuzhen’s mind went blank. Earlier, when Li Feng hadn’t arrived, she had both hoped he would come and hoped he wouldn’t. Now that he truly had, her heart filled with worry.
“Is he alone?” Asura asked coldly.
“Yes.” The burly man nodded.
“Go, bring him in.” A sharp glint flashed through Asura’s eyes. Li Feng, this time let’s see how you die.
Soon, Li Feng was escorted inside.
“So you’re Li Feng. We finally meet.” Asura stared at Li Feng, a fierce light in his eyes. This was the man who had thwarted his plans again and again, the very target of his mission to Tianhai City.
“Blood Sand?” Li Feng glanced at Asura and frowned slightly. He could sense the surging aura emanating from this man. This Asura was no ordinary opponent.
“You know quite a bit. Correct, I am Asura of Blood Sand.” Asura nodded, then sneered at Li Feng. “Li Feng, I have to say you’re an idiot, actually walking into the net for a woman. But today, you won’t escape.”
“Is that so? You’re that confident?” Li Feng gave a cold smile, his gaze shifting to Mu Xiuzhen. “I never imagined the mighty Blood Sand would resort to such despicable tactics as kidnapping. It seems I overestimated you.”
“Hmph, for the sake of the objective, kidnapping is nothing. As long as I can kill you, anything is permissible.” Asura sneered. He was an assassin. An assassin killed by any means necessary. To him, kidnapping was merely a method.
“Now I’m here. You can release her.” Li Feng’s eyes flashed as he stared coldly at Asura.
“Release her? Ha ha, Li Feng, when did I ever say that if you came I would let her go? You’re far too naive. Do you think I would release her?” Asura smiled smugly.
“Then what do you want?” Li Feng asked gravely.
“What do I want?”
A cold smile spread across Asura’s face. “Li Feng, if you don’t want your woman to die, then immediately take your own life right here in front of me.”
