The disciples received Li Rufeng's orders and immediately surrounded Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon.
Gu Chenan spread his hands in a pretense of difficulty and said, "Attack me, is that right? Very well!"
As soon as Gu Chenan spoke, Li Rufeng's disciples charged at him with shrill cries.
"Let's teach this Gu Chenan a lesson for revenge on Senior Brother Bufan!"
"Don't be afraid, he still has to protect this girl, he can't resist all of us!"
"Gu Chenan, you won't escape today!"
As they spoke, they unleashed a barrage of fists and feet towards Gu Chenan. Gu Chenan's lips curled into a slight smile as he channeled the One Qi Exercise!
But at that moment, Hoshino Kannon's figure flashed to the side, instantly shielding Gu Chenan.
The others were all taken aback.
"What the hell happened?"
"This... this girl's skills are so formidable?!"
Even Li Rufeng was shocked, the speed at which Hoshino Kannon had shielded Gu Chenan was beyond his own capabilities!
"If you dare touch him, I'll kill you all," Hoshino Kannon said coldly, her beautiful eyes burning with anger.
To be fair, Gu Chenan's skills alone were already incredibly powerful, and with Hoshino Kannon's addition, Li Rufeng and his disciples were no match for them.
Li Rufeng knew his limits, and seeing Hoshino Kannon's formidable skills, he immediately backed down.
He even started talking about compensation.
Damn it, it would be good enough not to be killed by these two formidable fighters!
"Gu... Gu Young Master."
Li Rufeng waved his hand at his disciples, then said, "I suddenly remembered that the day at the Xiao Family, I promised the Xiao Family Master and the others in the Ancient Martial World that the matter with Senior Brother Bufan would be dropped. Look at my poor memory, how could I have forgotten?"
"Gu Young Master and this beautiful and skilled young lady, please continue your fun. We'll be leaving now."
After speaking, he quickly waved his hands twice, then turned and left.
His disciples also understood, smiling awkwardly.
"Hahaha, we're leaving, we're leaving."
Watching their retreating figures, Gu Chenan was astonished.
[My god, are they shameless or what?]
[You guys thought I couldn't handle you all earlier, but as soon as Hoshino Kannon revealed her skills, you're kneeling and surrendering?]
[Don't you have any face to save, Li Rufeng?]
"Wait a minute!" Gu Chenan called out loudly.
Li Rufeng froze, mechanically turning his head back. "Gu... Gu Young Master, is there anything else?"
Gu Chenan stepped forward. "You may not care about saving face, but I do. You can't just leave like that, what do you think of me?"
"What... what do you want to do?" Li Rufeng asked nervously.
Gu Chenan grinned. "Since you've come, then don't leave!"
With that, Gu Chenan stepped forward, shooting like an arrow released from its bow.
Seeing Gu Chenan's actions, Hoshino Kannon felt the long-absent thirst for killing resurface.
It had been so long since she and Gu Chenan had killed anyone, her hands were itching, and her heart was itching even more!
Li Rufeng's disciples were the perfect opportunity to relieve her pent-up killing intent.
Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon, like a black and white streak of light, charged into the crowd.
...
In the suburbs of Suhang City, a villa halfway up the mountain.
"Ouch ouch ouch!"
"Mr. Lin, bear with it a little longer, this is the last acupuncture needle."
"Okay, hurry up."
In the bedroom, Lin Yu lay on the bed, allowing Fang Jie to insert acupuncture needles into his back.
Yesterday at the nightclub, he was beaten by "unknown assailants," which had aggravated his almost healed injuries.
Fortunately, Fang Jie's exceptional medical skills prevented him from developing any lasting ailments.
Soon, Fang Jie finished the acupuncture treatment for Lin Yu.
"Mr. Lin, you should rest now. I'll come back later."
"Mm," Lin Yu nodded.
"Damn it!"
As soon as Fang Jie left, Lin Yu punched the bed in frustration.
This was too infuriating!
He had finally recovered a bit and was planning to go out and find a girl, but not only did he fail to score, he was also beaten unconscious!
What angered him the most was that the girl he had heroically tried to save had actually insulted him!
She told him to go pee in the middle of the dance floor!
Damn!
If the nightclub security hadn't been there, he would have peed right in her face!
And those security guards!
Those scum who looked down on people, when Old Dao returns, he'll definitely have them all killed!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu angrily grabbed his phone, intending to call Old Dao.
He had wanted Old Dao to kill those security guards as soon as he returned last night, but for some reason, Old Dao wasn't at home.
At the time, he had called, but Old Dao hadn't answered.
It had been a whole night now, so he should be back, right?
With this thought, Lin Yu found Old Dao's number and was about to dial.
But at that moment, an unknown number called.
"Hello, who is this?" Lin Yu answered the call.
"Are you Lin Yu, the squad leader of Suhang?" a cold female voice came through the phone.
Lin Yu's demeanor immediately became respectful upon hearing this. "Yes, that's me."
"Good, pack up and return to the organization."
"Return... to the organization?" Lin Yu was taken aback, feeling reluctant.
The Black Owl Organization of China was based in Yanjing, the imperial capital in the north, while Suhang and Donghai were located in the south. If he went there, how could he take revenge on Gu Chenan?
Moreover, if he really went, wouldn't Qianmo, Mingrui, and the others be taken advantage of by that scoundrel Gu Chenan?
He could never allow that to happen!
But... he couldn't disobey the Black Owl Organization's orders either.
Because at the moment, only with the organization's help could he eliminate Gu Chenan.
Lin Yu considered for a moment, then probed cautiously, "Can I... can I know why I'm being summoned to the organization?"
The other party paused, probably surprised that someone would question the organization's orders.
At the same time, the woman on the phone became slightly curious about Lin Yu.
Of course, as the protagonist destined by heaven, Lin Yu's unintentional ability to pique the curiosity of the opposite sex was a basic skill.
"One of the Twelve Owls, Gong Fei, hasn't reported to the organization for a long time, so the organization believes he's dead. Now, the Twelve Owls are missing one member... you, do you understand?" the woman said without being too explicit, but her meaning was clear enough.
She wanted Lin Yu to take Gong Fei's place and become one of the Twelve Owls!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu shot up from the bed with a jolt.
The status of the Twelve Owls was one of the highest ranks in the Black Owl Organization, and the current leader of the China branch was the head of the Twelve Owls!
If Lin Yu became one of the Twelve Owls, not only would he gain a higher position, but he would also have many subordinates!
In other words, once he became one of the Twelve Owls, he could bring his subordinates back to Donghai and take revenge on Gu Chenan at any time!
Lin Yu's heart swelled with joy, his heart felt like it was about to burst from his chest.
"I... I'll return immediately!"
"Mm, hurry up, Old Dao is already waiting for you at the organization."
With that, the woman hung up.
"Hell yeah!"
Lin Yu tossed his phone onto the bed and let out a long cry of exultation.
"I, Lin Yu, am finally going to make a name for myself!"
"Gu Chenan! Wait until I become one of the Twelve Owls, I will definitely kill you!"
"Qianmo, Mingrui, Yu Tian, Master, when I rise in status, I will treat you all well!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
