Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sword Qi and True Qi collided like mountains, emitting deafening roars, yet nothing could stop the advance of the True Qi mountain, which crashed through the Sword Qi and charged toward Lu Chuan.

Its momentum was unstoppable, like a tidal wave of True Qi, threatening to crush Lu Chuan in one go.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating yourself."

Seeing that his Sword Qi couldn’t stop the collision of the True Qi mountain, Lu Chuan’s expression remained unchanged. Instead, he sneered coldly, as this was just a test move. He hadn’t unleashed the full extent of his power.

"Today, I’ll show you why there’s a saying about each level in the Mythical Realm being a whole new world. In my eyes, you’re nothing."

Lu Chuan spoke with disdain, and his Longsword erupted with dazzling icy light, its radiance like ice, glaringly bright in the dark night.

’Whoosh!’

One slash changed the color of the world, as if it entered winter in an instant, and the ground frosted over, a chilling sight.

The Sword Light swept through the air, crashing into the True Qi mountain, which instantly shredded like paper, leaving nothing to block the Sword Qi’s path. It swept through like a destructive force.

The six men’s faces turned to extreme fear, their mouths issued terrified cries, and they desperately channeled their True Qi to resist the oncoming Sword Light, but to no avail. The Sword Light passed through them like air.

However, it didn’t cut them in half or cause blood to splatter as expected. The subsequent image was even more terrifying and horrifying.

After the Sword Light passed, the six froze in place, their bodies turned to ice, resembling sculptures, their expressions frozen in fear as if they were suddenly encased in ice.

After killing these men, Lu Chuan’s expression remained unchanged. He lightly clenched his five fingers, dissipating the True Qi and walked slowly toward Dou Fangfang.

At the same time, Dou Fangfang also opened the car door and stepped down, looking at Lu Chuan with gratitude, she said, "Thank you, Housekeeper Lu."

As she spoke, Dou Fangfang glanced at the driver, covered in wounds, who was staggering over, and said: "Thank you, Zhao Wu."

"Miss Dou, you’re too kind. It’s my duty," said the driver, forcing a smile.

"Mm!"

Dou Fangfang gently nodded, her gaze returning to Lu Chuan, asking with some confusion: "Housekeeper Lu, why are you here?"

"Assigned by the Family Head."

Lu Chuan looked at Dou Fangfang and said, "The Family Head was worried someone might target Lady Fangfang during this time and instructed me to covertly protect her against any threats."

Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Dou Fangfang thoughtfully nodded: "I understand, Housekeeper Lu."

"Lady Fangfang, it’s getting late and the weather is turning. It looks like rain is coming. Why don’t you stay with us at the Lu Family tonight? It’s safer."

"I’ll leave it to Housekeeper Lu then."

Dou Fangfang nodded gently, not refusing. Thanks to Lu Chuan, she narrowly avoided disaster. If she returned to the Dou Family, who knows if they had people planted there. If anything happened to her, it would be a significant disaster for the Lu Family, which she didn’t want to happen.

"Lady Fangfang, you’re too kind."

...

The pitch-black night was suddenly drenched in torrential rain, accompanied by gales that threatened the trees.

The atmosphere across Jiangnan felt crushing, as if dark clouds weighed heavily over the city, ready to crumble. The rain pattered against the windows, the sound piercing through the night.

In the house on the outskirts of Jiangnan, Tang Kang’an stood by the window, looking out at the storm, which seemed like the end of the world was approaching, his face grave.

Not only was Tang Kang’an silent, but also the other seven people in the room stayed silent as well. Although their faces were masked, concealing their expressions, their eyes revealed unmistakable seriousness.

The time since they sent people to kidnap Dou Fangfang had exceeded half an hour. Logically, the kidnapping should have succeeded by now, yet there’s been no news, which brought a sense of foreboding to everyone’s hearts.

They had agreed long ago that successful contact must be made immediately, yet so much time had passed without any news, confirming their worst fears.

The room was oppressively silent, only the sound of crackling flames and Tang Kang’an’s pacing footsteps filled the air.

Time passed silently as Tang Kang’an paced back and forth, occasionally pulling out a cigarette to light, with unextinguished butts scattered across the floor. The room was enveloped in a pungent tobacco smell, but no one dared complain or perhaps had chosen to ignore the odor.

After a seemingly eternal wait, Tang Kang’an suddenly threw his freshly lit cigarette to the floor, crushed it underfoot, and spoke heavily: "How long ago did they leave?"

"Over half an hour ago."

"Be precise."

Tang Kang’an’s voice had a chilling sharpness.

Pausing for a moment after hearing Tang Kang’an’s cold voice, the first man to speak replied: "Approximately forty minutes ago."

"Forty minutes? Forty minutes and still no news? Do you know where we are? In Jiangnan, even four minutes or four seconds could be lethal for us. The longer we wait, the closer to death we are. You know nothing, what a bunch of idiots, idiots."

Tang Kang’an’s face was overtaken by undeniable anger: "Contact them, contact them immediately, you useless failures!"

Tang Kang’an’s enraged roars echoed through the room.
