47: Chapter 47 Kill!

"How ruthless...!"

"With this disposition, if Ding Shixun went to Origin Star, he would definitely thrive. It's a pity he didn't awaken a Martial Aspect; he's destined never to become a martial arts powerhouse."

Hearing this, Steward Huang took a deep breath, then cupped his hands and said, "Whatever you say, Young Master Ding."

He was both a steward and Ding Shixun's personal bodyguard, employed by the Transcendent Martial Artist Ding Nan with an annual salary of 1.5 million. His main job was to protect Ding Shixun's safety during his daily outings.

As an Advanced Martial Artist who had exhausted his potential and barely broken into Level 30, his body hadn't even reached Micro-Perception, yet he was able to land this high-paying job.

Steward Huang cherished it greatly.

Over the years, this job had actually been very easy. Ding Nan knew that Ding Shixun was a playboy with a nasty temperament, but he only hired him as a bodyguard.

This was because Ding Nan, as a Transcendent Martial Artist, had great influence in Jinhe City; anyone with an Advanced Martial Artist in their family would not dare cross Ding Shixun.

As for the ordinary, clueless people, he, as a Level 30 Advanced Martial Artist, was more than capable of handling them.

"Good, then it's decided."

Ding Shixun said this while taking out his phone to call his father. After whispering for a while, he put down the phone and sneered:

"Steward Huang, my dad agrees too. Notify my second uncle later, and we'll start the operation. It's better to do it sooner rather than later; we must eliminate the potential threat as soon as possible!"

Steward Huang pointed at the information and offered a plan: "Young Master Ding, this Fang Zhuo doesn't have any particularly close friends, but his wife, Bai Shiwei, has a good best friend who just happens to be the girl you're pursuing. You could use her to lure Fang Zhuo and his wife out..."

"Zhao Qianqian?"

Ding Shixun snorted coldly. The image of a woman with charming features surfaced in his mind, and the fire in his heart grew even more intense.

He had been pursuing Zhao Qianqian for several years and had given her over a million in gifts—martial arts cultivation pills, jewelry, cosmetics, he had given her everything—yet he hadn't even touched her hand.

This made him incredibly frustrated.

"That's a good idea. Use Zhao Qianqian to lure Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei out, and Steward Huang, you find an opportunity to strike."

"Kill Fang Zhuo first, then cripple Zhao Qianqian and Bai Shiwei."

Ding Shixun's eyes burned with desire as he leered, "This time, I'll go all the way. I'll take the opportunity to take down that bitch Zhao Qianqian too. Heh, and they're best friends, too!"

...On the other side.

Fang Zhuo went to the black market and gathered most of the information on Ding Shixun.

Besides having a tendency for violence, Ding Shixun was also obsessed with women, almost daily ordering female martial artists to his home for indulgence.

Furthermore, he would often go out to places that provided pleasure to pick out prey.

The things this person was keen on, besides ordering sparring partners to vent his emotions and occasionally injuring them, were going to several local cultural universities in Jinhe City to lure female college students into his trap.

"This person deserves to die."

Not far from the entrance of Chaoyang Residential Complex, Fang Zhuo sat in a milk tea shop, calculating the intelligence he had just gathered while scouting the location.

Nine o'clock at night.

Ding Shixun and Steward Huang walked out of the complex one after the other, and the security guard flashed them a fawning smile.

"They're here."

Fang Zhuo had sharp eyes.

He immediately spotted the middle-aged man beside Ding Shixun; although he was dressed as a steward, while walking, his center of gravity remained constant, and his muscles were slightly tensed.

"This person must be Ding Shixun's bodyguard. At a glance, his Body Control is not high; he hasn't reached Micro-Perception yet, but I can't tell his Life Level."

"The information provided says he is a Level 30 Advanced Martial Artist. If that's true, he is likely not my opponent, but I can't be sure yet."

Fang Zhuo kept his gaze on Ding Shixun, only observing Steward Huang with his peripheral vision.

The information obtained from the black market had a certain degree of credibility, but it couldn't be fully trusted. Before acting, he had to confirm it himself!

"I only have one chance to strike."

"This bodyguard dressed as a steward doesn't look strong; this can be said to be the best opportunity. If the first strike fails, once the Ding Family replaces Ding Shixun's bodyguard, it will be difficult!"

Outside the gate, Ding Shixun and Steward Huang quickly got into a large black SUV and sped away with a swoosh.

Fang Zhuo quickly got into the rented Shenzhou autonomous vehicle and followed from a distance.

...Seven days later.

In a martial artist-themed restaurant in the Old City District.

Inside a VIP private room.

Ding Shixun and Zhao Qianqian sat opposite each other. The table was filled with plates of glistening meat; the meat looked fresh and delicious, whetting one's appetite.

"Qianqian."

"These are fresh exotic beast meat just shipped from Origin Star. Quickly, try the taste?" Ding Shixun's face wore a warm smile.

"You've gone to great expense."

Zhao Qianqian swallowed her saliva, her eyes staring straight at the plate in the center. If she wasn't mistaken, this was a serving of Transcendent Exotic Beast meat!

For a martial artist, this was a super tonic, no worse than some top-tier martial arts cultivation pills. This meal probably wouldn't cost less than 200,000...

What does Ding Shixun want? Is he going to confess to me again?

Taking things from others makes one indebted, and eating their food makes one soft-spoken, but Zhao Qianqian wouldn't be soft-hearted. She would absolutely never agree to such a playboy scumbag!

While she was thinking this, with a cold expression, she had already started using her chopsticks.

Ding Shixun's heart was bleeding, but he thought that if he could coax Zhao Qianqian this time and get her to agree to invite Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei out—

Then, not only could he eliminate the potential threat of Fang Zhuo, but he could also toy with this pair of best friends. His heart felt much more at ease.

"By the way, Qianqian."

Ding Shixun waited until Zhao Qianqian had eaten enough, then smiled and said, "I heard that two geniuses with Superior Martial Aspects have recently appeared in the city."

"And you happen to be well-acquainted with them. Could you introduce them to me?"

"Bai Shiwei and Fang Zhuo?"

Zhao Qianqian thought to herself, This guy has a nose as sharp as a dog's. Is he not eyeing Shi Wei? Truly, a dog can't change its habit of eating feces!

"Unfortunately, these two are a young couple; they've already registered their marriage, so don't get any ideas."

Zhao Qianqian's tone was a bit sour. It wasn't that she was jealous of her good sister for driving a Range Rover or for accidentally finding a genius husband through a blind date.

It was rather that she felt her own simp was being unfaithful right in front of her, which made her very unhappy.

"You've misunderstood."

Ding Shixun smiled, "My Life Level is at 19, right? Awakening is basically hopeless unless it's a Superior Martial Aspect. They happen to be geniuses with Superior Martial Aspects, so I want to learn from them; maybe I can awaken a Superior Martial Aspect too!"

"Dream on!"

Zhao Qianqian felt disdain in her heart, but after all, she had eaten a nourishing feast on his dime, and at this moment, heat was surging in her lower abdomen; the energy contained in the Transcendent Exotic Beast meat was very high, so she smiled on the surface and said:

"I can, but I can't guarantee it."

"I'll just help you ask."

"Fine. If they are willing to share their experience, I won't take advantage of them. When my second uncle returns, I can ask him to give you all some guidance."

When Ding Shixun mentioned his second uncle, a look of pride washed over his face.

A smile bloomed on Zhao Qianqian's face: "Good, then I'll do my best. I'll definitely convince them to come; I suppose they won't refuse."

Guidance from a Transcendent Martial Artist, even for geniuses with Superior Martial Aspects, was rare and precious!

Ding Shixun smiled, looking forward to tomorrow even more.

After leaving the restaurant, Steward Huang emerged from nowhere and followed beside Ding Shixun, asking, "Young Master Ding, did it go smoothly?"

"Yes, if nothing goes wrong, it will be tomorrow!"

"Steward Huang, don't kill Fang Zhuo when the time comes. Leave him with one breath; I want to, right in front of him..." Ding Shixun's mouth curled into a lecherous smile.

"Very well."

Steward Huang and Ding Shixun turned into an empty street, conversing without any restraint.

Little did they know, right in the small bushes at the corner, Fang Zhuo was hiding within.

"Fang Zhuo... leave him with one breath?"

"Ding Shixun wants to kill me?!" Fang Zhuo carefully pondered their conversation, and the killing intent he had been trying hard to suppress grew a few notches more.

"Kill!"

Fang Zhuo crawled out of the bushes and strode toward Ding Shixun and Steward Huang.
