This is the commercial center of the Magellanic Star, the most economically prosperous place in the entire Cosmos. This estate belongs to the Universal Energy Corporation, and throughout its long history of a hundred years, it seems that the power has never gone out.
If that is the case, why is the light dim?
Why does howling arise?
The middle-aged man could not afford to ponder these questions deeply, as a sense of crisis had already surged in his heart, so intense that he believed it was no longer just a feeling but a naked reality.
Thus, he took the initiative and crossed nearly five meters from the doorway to stand beside Cao Shuang. He then grabbed Cao Shuang's slightly plump body and vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
The light had only dimmed for a moment; everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the quiet room regained its brightness.
Yet, something was added, and something was lost.
At the feet of the middle-aged man lay a pool of blood; a few meters away on the sofa, a beautiful woman was missing.
Only a brooch remained rolling on the ground, seemingly still carrying Wen Yun's faint fragrance.
The middle-aged man's gaze sharpened, cold light flashing in his eyes. He then spoke into the wireless earpiece at his ear, "Action."
With this command, countless shadows outside in the estate began to stir and run.
After issuing the order, the middle-aged man slowly turned his head to look at Cao Shuang lying on the ground. His pupils dilated as he saw Cao Shuang clutching his throat, convulsing and struggling.
Cao Shuang's gaze turned toward the middle-aged man, filled with a strong hope for survival. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man merely shook his head as he looked at him.
"It’s useless. The one who just attacked is a master on par with me. For people like us, we either don’t act, but once we do, we won’t hold back. I will apologize to your brother, but I doubt he would lower the punishment for someone as useless as you."
The middle-aged man slowly stood up and walked outside, his voice drifting back into the room, reaching the ears of the dead Cao Shuang.
"Better off dead; that way everyone can rest easy. I hope in the next life you can be reborn as someone with a bit of ambition. Otherwise, even if born into a royal family, you’ll still end up living like a pig."
Cao Shuang's pupils slowly dilated, filled with confusion and resentment. Why would someone want to kill me? I am the second young master of Universal Energy Corporation, a carefree playboy who indulges in pleasures. I still have many beauties to enjoy...
Perhaps the coroner could read countless thoughts from this face, but it wouldn’t change the fact that he was already dead.
...
The estate of Universal Energy Corporation, even in the bustling commercial center where land is worth its weight in gold, remains vast and sprawling, with dense trees and flourishing flowers.
In the midst of a thicket taller than a person, a figure darted swiftly through the shadows, illuminated only by the dim moonlight, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was not just one figure. It was actually one figure layered over another slender silhouette.
On Tian Feng's back, Wen Yun gasped for breath. In this atmosphere of fleeing for their lives, an unexpected hint of intimacy emerged.
Indeed, it was Tian Feng who carried Wen Yun on his back—the one who had killed Cao Shuang. A recent graduate from Universal Hunting School, a young man on the verge of being forgotten by history, now nearing his thirties—a good brother.
He remembered when Jufeng first returned to Earth and faced the pressure from the Unification Alliance alongside Flower Snow Moon. Fortunately, Xue Qi had used two newcomers to help Hurricane rise to prominence and achieve great success.
One was Chen Huoxiong, a seemingly simple-minded but astute man, currently the leader of the Azure Society, overseeing the balance in Southeast Asia. The other, of course, was the person before him, Tian Feng.
During the growth of the hurricane, Tian Feng was sent by Jufeng to Universal Hunting for training. This was a trust-filled investment aimed at strengthening Tian Feng's abilities to realize his vision. A significant part of this decision was also for the sake of Wen Yun.
The phrase "a good steel used on the blade" aptly described Tian Feng's current situation as he sought to rescue Wen Yun.
After running for a while, Tian Feng still hadn’t left the estate. It wasn’t that the estate was vast and boundless; rather, the patrols searching for him and Wen Yun were too dense, leaving no suitable opportunity for escape.
So he paused to observe quietly and exchanged a few words with the beauty behind him to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Gently setting Wen Yun down, Tian Feng turned to face her.
Then he froze!
Having spent over eight years immersed in various martial arts and combat skills at Universal Hunting, Tian Feng had little opportunity to observe women. He had seen a photo of Wen Yun before but nothing could compare to the shock of seeing her in person.
She was stunningly beautiful! No wonder on the streets one often heard praises from men, women, old and young alike about this generation's goddess.
There was no exaggeration; in fact, Tian Feng felt that there were no words in the world that could adequately describe the grace of this extraordinary beauty.
Wen Yun was jostled against Tian Feng’s back, her stomach feeling quite uncomfortable. However, knowing that this man was there to rescue her, she endured it silently. Finally able to rest, she instinctively rubbed her stomach to ease her discomfort but suddenly felt his gaze upon her. She looked up and frowned slightly.
Tian Feng was taken aback when he noticed Wen Yun’s pale complexion and her slight annoyance. Realizing his rudeness, he quickly cleared his throat and said, “Wen Yun, please don’t take offense. I was entrusted by Brother Jufeng to rescue you. The situation in the room was urgent; Cao Shuang is not much of a threat, but the man behind him is formidable. I couldn’t risk alerting others while trying to eliminate him, so I apologize for your bumpy ride.”
Wen Yun felt a bit more comfortable in her stomach after hearing that, and the annoyance between her brows lessened slightly. She had already guessed that here, apart from Jufeng, no one would come to her rescue. Despite this, because of the matter with Lu Qijia, she still couldn't show Jufeng a good face.
Tian Feng noticed Wen Yun lowering her head in silence and felt somewhat guilty. Half of his guilt was due to failing to live up to Brother Jufeng's trust, and the other half was because he hadn't left a good impression in front of Wen Yun.
Earlier at the airport, it was Tian Feng who had brushed past Old Horse. After returning to the Large Magellanic Cloud, due to the turbulent situation, he had been secretly observing Zongheng Express and Jufeng. However, after some observation, he discovered that Huankezhao was also secretly investigating Zongheng Express. Although Tian Feng had good intentions, he didn't believe that Huankezhao had good intentions as well. So he followed the clues and waited for Jufeng at the airport, where he reminded him.
Later, Jufeng recalled Tian Feng and found ways to contact him secretly. After explaining the whole situation clearly, he entrusted Tian Feng with rescuing Wen Yun.
Tian Feng's life and his current abilities would not have been achieved without the contributions of Xue and Jufeng. Therefore, Tian Feng naturally felt it was his duty and immediately agreed.
Thus, tonight's operation came to be.
(To be continued)
