285: Officer Bai, what should you call me?

"Bang!!!" A terrifying explosion, far louder than before, shook the entire laboratory violently!

That seemingly unstoppable storm of glass was struck head-on by a god's hammer and shattered instantly!

Countless glass shards recoiled at a speed even faster than when they came, raining down directly onto Hawk.

"No... impossible!!!" poison fang let out a heart-wrenching scream, desperately channeling his remaining telekinetic power to block it.

However, in the face of such an absolute disparity in power, all resistance proved futile.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff—!" Amidst the dense sound of piercing, poison fang's body was completely engulfed by the recoiling glass shards.

The storm dissipated. poison fang slumped against the wall like a broken ragdoll.

His entire body was riddled with glass, and blood flowed from countless wounds like a stream, instantly staining a large area of the floor red.

He struggled to lift his only remaining eye to look at the young man, the last traces of madness in his eyes completely extinguished, leaving only fear...

"No... possible..." His lips trembled, his voice as thin as a thread.

"How could you be this strong..." "What... what kind of monster did I provoke..."

The last few words were barely audible. Then, his head lolled to the side, his pupils dilated, and his life force faded away completely.

Ye Chen walked up to him, looked down at the barely recognizable corpse, and shook his head.

"It would have been better if you had ended it yourself; there was no need to waste my time."

He pulled out his phone, opened that page, and gently crossed out the file for "poison fang, Hawk."

Only one name remained on the list. The Dark Web's number two, "The Arbiter," Maxim.

There was no clue as to this person's whereabouts. He would have to put the pressure on Jessica.

Ye Chen took a photo of Hawk and sent it to Night Owl, then added a message: "Hawk is dead, the third one is taken care of. Have your master find Maxim's whereabouts."

The message was sent. He put away his phone, turned around, walked to the airtight door of the laboratory, pushed it open, and walked out.

In the corridor outside, Bai Wanqing was pacing anxiously, while Director Liu and several terrified researchers huddled in the distance, their faces pale.

As soon as she saw Ye Chen come out, Bai Wanqing immediately walked up to him, her beautiful eyes filled with concern: "Ye Chen, are... are you okay?"

Ye Chen shook his head. "I'm fine, it's just that the person inside is dead."

Bai Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief instead.

Just then, rapid footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor. Bai Shanshan, in a dashing police uniform, approached quickly with two officers.

She had clearly rushed over after receiving Bai Wanqing's call. Seeing Ye Chen and Bai Wanqing standing at the laboratory door, Bai Shanshan paused and asked sternly: "What's going on here?"

Before Bai Wanqing could speak, Ye Chen took the lead and said to Bai Shanshan, "Inside is a foreign assassin who infiltrated in disguise, the Dark Web's number five, 'poison fang' Hawk."

"But I've already taken care of him, it's not a big problem."

Bai Shanshan: "..." She looked at the scene inside the laboratory, which could only be described as a crime scene, and then at Ye Chen's relaxed expression, the corner of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

This is called not a big problem? The scene looks like it was visited by a demolition crew and a slaughterhouse combined!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to retort, and glared at Ye Chen. "You caused such a big commotion again?" "And this time you brought it directly into the Tianyao Group's cooperation project?"

Ye Chen spread his hands with an innocent look: "He was the one hiding here and he attacked first. I acted in self-defense. I helped you eliminate a dangerous individual who threatened public safety ahead of time; you should give me a banner."

Bai Shanshan was rendered speechless by his righteous attitude and said ungraciously, "Why do I feel like I'm just here to clean up your mess?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and asked slowly, "Officer Bai, what... what were you supposed to call me?"

Bai Shanshan was stunned, then realized, and her pretty face flushed red instantly. "Ma... Master."

"Eh, that's right." Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, "It's reasonable for a disciple to clean up for their master, right? It's only natural!"

Bai Shanshan: "..." She clenched her fists, looking at Ye Chen's face with its playful smile, wishing she could punch him.

Reasonable? Natural? Reasonably my foot!

She screamed internally, but looking at the terrifying corpse in the laboratory and thinking about Ye Chen's inhuman strength... Fine. It seems... she really couldn't beat him.

Acknowledging this master was really a huge loss! But come to think of it, because Ye Chen taught her how to control objects that day, she really had become more proficient!

Soon, she might be able to meet Ye Chen's requirements. When that time comes, she would "collect" it back with interest! Yes! That's the plan!

...

Night Owl had already returned to Yi Yue's house yesterday. Now, she was sitting cross-legged in her room, focusing her mind and circulating her cultivation technique.

But soon, she discovered with great excitement... the faint heat in her body was rising from her lower abdomen again, spreading to her limbs and bones.

"It's here again?" Night Owl bit her lower lip, an unnatural flush appearing on her stunning face, "My delicacy, I'm going to dig in!"

That's right. She called this power "delicacy." Every time it appeared, she could "eat" her fill, and it was also the source of power for her to break through the shackles of her strength...

For a moment, she tried to absorb this impulse. During this time, a feeling of craving washed over her brain. Images of Ye Chen performing a striptease involuntarily floated into her mind...

"No! I can't think about it anymore!" Night Owl shook her head violently, forcibly dispelling those absurd thoughts. Then, she took a deep breath, formed hand seals with both hands, and gradually sank into a meditative state...

"Buzz... buzz..." The phone lying on the carpet beside her suddenly started vibrating. Night Owl paused, her brows slightly furrowed. Who was messaging her?

She reached out, grabbed the phone, and unlocked the screen. In the notification bar, there were only two unread messages, both from the same number... Ye Chen.

Her heart skipped a beat for no reason, and her fingers trembled slightly as she opened the messages. The first one was a photo.

The photo seemed to have been taken in a laboratory; the background was a mess, and in the center of the photo lay a corpse.

It was a foreign man wearing a torn sterile suit. However, he was already stone cold. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, his whole body was riddled with holes, and covered in blood... The way he died was extremely tragic!

Night Owl's pupils contracted sharply! She recognized this face! Although it was unrecognizable, she would never mistake it.

Isn't he the Dark Web's number five, "poison fang" Hawk??? The old monster who was a god at using poison, insidious and cunning, whom her master Jessica had been hunting for three years!

He just died like this??? Night Owl's expression shifted as she looked at the second message. It only had one sentence. The general meaning was...

Ye Chen had already killed three assassins who had entered the country, one of whom was Hawk. Then, he wanted her master to find the whereabouts of the last one!

"My God!" Night Owl was even more stunned. Good heavens! She had heard from her master that she had only sent the list to Ye Chen in the morning.

As a result... in less than three hours, three were already dead! That's too brutal!

Night Owl snapped back to reality and hurriedly called her master. The phone rang four or five times before it was answered. On the other end, Jessica's calm voice came through: "Speak."

"Master!" Night Owl said excitedly, "Hawk... he's dead!"

On the other end of the line, Jessica's breathing stopped abruptly. Then, Jessica asked in astonishment, "Who did you say?"

"Hawk! 'poison fang' Hawk!" Night Owl swallowed hard. "Ye Chen just sent me a message and a photo!"

"In the photo, Hawk died very miserably, his chest collapsed, his arms were mangled, and his whole body was pierced through!" "Ye Chen asked me to tell you..."

As she spoke, she relayed Ye Chen's request. Silence fell on the other end of the line again. After a long while, she finally said in a deep voice, "Send me the photo!"

Night Owl hung up the phone and immediately forwarded the photo Ye Chen had sent to Jessica.

A few seconds later, Jessica, who was sitting in her hotel room, felt her phone vibrate. She opened the high-definition image and stared fixedly at the screen for a full dozen seconds.

In those alluring eyes, there were no tears, no hysterical sadness, only a sense of relief.

"Heh..." "Hawk, you finally... died."

A long while later, Jessica took a deep breath and called Night Owl back. "Tell Ye Chen..." "I, Blood Rose, will only take orders from him from now on!"

"As for the intelligence on the fourth one, 'The Arbiter' Maxim, give me half an hour. I'll dig three feet into the ground to drag him out!"
