Have You Ever Seen True Darkness

Sometimes, Xu Mu wondered why so many people fell for scams that sounded so obvious.

But thinking about it carefully, it was probably all about profit.

Some people were too desperate for money, letting greed cloud their judgment, and ultimately becoming tools for others to make a profit.

"Follow me, I'll take you there."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Brother, listening to your accent, you don't sound like a local?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"No, I came here for work. After all, the salary is high."

The middle-aged man explained.

"What does this company do? How is it so profitable?"

Chen Xuan asked from the side. "A monthly salary of tens of thousands, I couldn't earn that much farming for years."

"We do foreign trade."

Saying this, the middle-aged man led them into a minivan.

After Xu Mu and the others sat in the car, the middle-aged man also sat in the back row. He gave the driver a hand signal, and the driver immediately started driving.

"Anyway, since their people haven't arrived yet, we can just kill some time."

Xu Mu smiled at Fu Jinyu and Chen Xuan beside him.

Chen Xuan already knew who these people were, so he just smiled and didn't say a word.

Fu Jinyu didn't understand what Xu Mu meant, but she couldn't be bothered to ask.

"We're almost there, our company is just up ahead."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Xu Mu looked out the window. Almost there, my ass!

They had already left the downtown area and arrived in the desolate wilderness.

Obviously, these people didn't dare to make a move in crowded places.

It wasn't long before the vehicle came to a stop.

Three more people walked over from the distant mountain forest, and the middle-aged man opened the back door of the minivan.

"Get the hell in!"

A bald, tattooed man shoved a man and a woman into the vehicle and forcefully slammed the door shut.

The bald man sat in the passenger seat, and the vehicle continued driving deeper into the wilderness.

"Brother, what's going on here?"

Xu Mu looked at the two newcomers. They weren't old, probably around twenty-five.

"Oh, they're with you guys. It's just that my friend here has a foul mouth."

The dark-skinned middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Brother! You've been tricked! These people are foreign criminals, they're going to sell us to a scam compound."

The buzz-cut young man said in a panic.

Swish!

Suddenly, the dark-skinned middle-aged man pulled out a dagger and mercilessly pierced it right through the young man's palm.

The intense pain made him scream out.

The short-haired woman beside him had eyes full of terror and started sobbing uncontrollably out of fear.

"Shut the fuck up! Believe it or not, I'll kill you all!"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man pulled the dagger out, his eyes as gloomy as a venomous snake. "I'm not just making empty threats. Here, look at these pictures. Do you think I'm joking?!"

His phone was filled with pictures of corpses.

Seeing this, the man and woman were so terrified that they didn't even dare to make a sound.

The Dragon Kingdom, as the safest country in the world, kept a lot of crime and violence outside its borders.

When had this couple ever seen such gruesome scenes?

Only then did the middle-aged man smile in satisfaction.

Fu Jinyu shook her head slightly. Only now did she understand Xu Mu's intention; he was using these wicked people to kill time.

The vehicle had reached the border, and the group began hiking up the mountain because they needed to avoid the border guards.

Finally, they successfully crossed into a foreign country. Here, a large bus was parked.

There were also several minivans nearby, with heavily armed personnel standing outside.

On the ground in the distance, there were even a few corpses.

The dark-skinned middle-aged man walked over to the leader over there, speaking the local language.

However, Xu Mu possessed language mastery and knew exactly what they were saying.

Simply put, they had conveniently grabbed five more piglets along the way.

Through his perception, Xu Mu discovered that the bus was packed with people.

The people in the first few rows all had guns, while the rest of the people in the vehicle looked utterly terrified.

Xu Mu shook his head slightly; he could feel the despair of these people.

Having been protected so well all their lives, when had they ever seen a scene like this?

Just then, the dark-skinned middle-aged man in the distance led the leader toward Xu Mu's group.

More accurately, they were heading toward Fu Jinyu.

From their previous conversation, this leader was very interested in Fu Jinyu, claiming that in all his decades of life, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

He couldn't hold himself back anymore.

"Beauty, go have some fun with this big brother. Serve him well, and you'll get unimaginable benefits."

Saying this, the dark-skinned middle-aged man revealed a cold sneer. "Otherwise, those corpses over there will be your fate. Kneel down, and we'll take it as your agreement."

The bald, tattooed man strode over, looking fierce and malicious. "He told you to kneel, can't you fucking understand?"

Fu Jinyu kept her arms crossed, looking at the men with an unchanging expression.

Xu Mu broke into a smile. "Since we're abroad, I might as well properly walk the path that Ye Chen walked for once."

"You brat! What kind of nonsense are you spouting? I'll slice off one of your ears first!"

The bald, tattooed man walked toward Xu Mu.

Slash!

With a single wave of Xu Mu's hand, blood spurted out, and the bald man was decapitated on the spot.

He grabbed the head and tossed it at the dark-skinned middle-aged man. "Have you ever witnessed true darkness? In my eyes, what you guys are doing is just playing house."

The dark-skinned middle-aged man looked at the incoming head, his face turning deathly pale from fright as he fell flat on his backside.

As a foreign operative who frequently experienced war, he had indeed seen his fair share of corpses.

But the scene before him still made his blood run cold.

The warlord leader beside him also widened his eyes and immediately pulled out his firearm.

Bang, bang, bang...

The bullets all hovered in mid-air right in front of Xu Mu.

Fu Jinyu glanced nonchalantly at Xu Mu. "These aren't Dragon Kingdom citizens. If I kill them, I shouldn't be targeted by the Cleaners, right?"

"Of course."

Xu Mu smiled and shrugged.

Fu Jinyu let out a cold sneer and waved his arm. The warlord leader in front of him was instantly sliced in half.

Seeing this, the others around them immediately launched their attacks.

Fu Jinyu's figure flickered. Everyone present was reduced to pieces, leaving only the dark-skinned middle-aged man alive.

Looking at the severed remains scattered around him, he was already frightened out of his wits, his courage completely shattered.

"Spare me! Please spare my life! I was wrong, sir, madam! I was wrong!"

The middle-aged man dropped to his knees in terror, kowtowing frantically, so scared that he wet himself all over the floor.

Xu Mu, however, raised his hand. The dark golden light scattering from his palm landed on the man's feet.

The golden light began to devour his flesh and blood bit by bit.

"No... Mom, I'm so scared!"

Watching his disappearing legs, he was so terrified that he threw up bile before passing out on the spot.

But the devouring Holy Gu did not stop until he vanished completely.

"No wonder Ye Chen is so arrogant. These overseas small fries really can't stir up any trouble."

After saying this, Xu Mu walked toward the bus.

The curtains in the back rows of the bus were drawn, so the passengers had no idea what was happening outside.

But the driver had seen everything clearly. Seeing Xu Mu get on the bus, he trembled instinctively in fear. "Don't kill me! I'm just the driver, I was forced into this."

Xu Mu looked at the people inside the bus. "Everyone, go back the way you came. Stop daydreaming from now on. Even if pies fell from the sky, they wouldn't land on your heads."

Hearing this, favorability points popped up above everyone's heads.

Just then, Xu Mu received a text message on his phone. It was from Xia Chuan.

He informed Xu Mu that the leader of the Jiuli Tribe had sent a message, and he was now preparing to catch a flight there.

After reading the text, Xu Mu immediately got off the bus and left together with Chen Xuan and Fu Jinyu.

...

Returning to the hotel where they had gathered, Xu Mu continued to observe his surroundings through his perception.

"Holy crap?"

Xu Mu widened his eyes. Unexpectedly, he saw Ye Chen.

He was staying at this very hotel, and from the looks of it, he had clearly just arrived.
