Chapter 136
Then he saw someone who wasn’t on tonight’s guest list—“Liang Haima”?
Butler Liang had worked for the Liang family for so many years. He was brought into the family at the age of eight, back when Liang Sha’s grandfather was still alive. He couldn’t claim to know every branch of the family, but he remembered 99% of them.
Liang Haima? Isn’t he the second son of Liang Jing’s uncle? What’s he doing here?
In the few seconds it took him to check the map and realize something was off, the red dot representing Liang Haima had already overlapped with his own position?!
Butler Liang shot his head up, looking at the spiral staircase above him!
—No way!!
“Level One Alert! A suspicious person has entered the main building and is heading upstairs. His name is Liang Haima, and he has stealth abilities. Take him down!”
As soon as he shouted, he noticed a patch of carpet less than half a meter away from him glowing, revealing a pair of footprints! Almost immediately, thanks to the props set up around the Liang residence, a figure began to materialize… Before the butler could get a good look, the figure dashed toward the staircase.
Butler Liang didn’t even have time to check the map again. He yelled, “Teams One, Two, and Three, all to the main building! Two dangerous individuals have breached the premises! Teams One and Two, head to Area B to protect the young lady, Team Three, go to Area F to protect the little miss! Liang Jing, run—!!”
Liang Jing, dressed in a brand-new suit and hurrying down the stairs to greet the guests: ??????
As he shouted, the old man had already seen the name of the second red dot on the map, and he gasped, “Liang You?!”
Isn’t that his long-deceased master?! The old man turned off the map and activated his skills to fly to the top floor.
The few guests who had just entered were completely bewildered; they hadn’t even had a chance to greet anyone before they were bombarded with seafood chatter.
Most people in S City knew that the Liang family had made their fortune selling seafood. Even now, with their vast wealth, a portion of their business still related to seafood.
“What’s this about a seahorse?”
“I heard squid.”
“More like a whale…”
“No, didn’t we come here to plot something big?”
“Plotting? What are you talking about? Someone’s breaking in, right…?”
Before they could sort it out, a swarm of people rushed in, Team One with waves embroidered on their sleeves, Team Two with rocks, and Team Three with little boats…
No matter how grand or luxurious the Liang villa was, it couldn’t withstand the rush of hundreds of people pouring in within mere seconds.
This group of wealthy guests experienced their first taste of rush hour, quickly figuring out how to find the handrails.
In the blink of an eye, the only host, Liang Jing, had also dashed upstairs.
The guests, now squished together like rags, and their bodyguards: …
Before they could catch their breath, they heard the people ahead shouting, “Bomb!” “Run!” “What the hell?” “It’s going to blow!” “No time! Prepare for healing!”—words that made anyone listening want to wet themselves…
…
After the shadow entered the Liang residence, Yu Xunge, in her illusion state, looked at the brightly lit Liang house and pulled out the prop she had obtained from Yu Xunhuan.
【Fate Coin】 (Curio): When faced with a difficult decision, toss it high into the air. The amount on the coin will change; the closer the number is to 10, the higher the success rate of the choice you subconsciously prefer. As for what you truly think, the coin doesn’t know.
Yu Xunge hesitated between directly using her shadow teleportation to Liang Yuchuan’s bedroom or heading to the living room. The former was on the second floor, closer to the rooftop, but if she entered through the living room, she could observe the current layout of the Liang house and drop some bombs along the way…
She flicked her thumb, tossing the coin high into the air, and it landed in her palm, revealing the number—9.
【Chapter 175: The Moment of Revenge】
Yu Xunge tucked the coin away and teleported directly to the Liang family’s living room. As soon as she landed, she felt her illusion spell fail.
Without hesitation or wasting time in surprise, she dashed upward, throwing bombs and hurling vials filled with poison against the walls as she ran.
She heard the butler’s shouts. Although she didn’t know where Area B was, she followed her original plan. Once on the second floor, she and the shadow split into two paths.
The shadow began to wreak havoc in the villa, smashing things here and knocking things there, while also making its way toward the more critical areas.
Meanwhile, Yu Xunge headed straight for the rooftop pool.
After her illusion spell failed, she didn’t use shadow teleportation or “I’m in a hurry” again; she relied solely on her high agility to run, almost instantly reaching the top floor, where Liang Yuchuan had just emerged from the water.
The old butler had good reason to send more people to protect Liang Sha; Liang Yuchuan was in the pool, her domain. No matter who came, Liang Yuchuan wouldn’t die here.
Yu Xunge pulled out a green tactical shotgun and aimed at Liang Yuchuan.
Liang Yuchuan’s fame in her past life wasn’t just due to her S-level talent; her combat awareness was also exceptionally strong.
Usually, she concocted foolish and venomous schemes, her temper flaring easily, but in battle, she was the complete opposite—calm, restrained, and decisive, with a talent that surpassed the ordinary.
From the moment she heard the butler’s voice to the instant a man wearing a motorcycle helmet… uh, dressed in a floral shirt and gold chain burst onto the rooftop, only a few breaths had passed.
With such strength and speed, when Liang Yuchuan saw the weapon aimed at her, she didn’t hesitate to use “Where there’s water, there’s me,” merging into the pool and disappearing.
What Yu Xunge wanted was to force Liang Yuchuan into the water!!
She quickly approached the pool’s edge, starting to throw dozens of bags filled with quicklime into the water.
By the time Team Three reached the rooftop, Yu Xunge had already tossed over fifty bags of quicklime into the pool.
In just a few minutes, the pool had transformed into a massive self-heating hotpot.
When Liang Yuchuan burst from the water, her skin had turned red. She shouted, “Are you even human?!”
Yu Xunge immediately pulled out a self-made engineering gun and aimed at Liang Yuchuan, not bothering to engage in conversation.
Facing Liang Yuchuan, she had to maintain 100% focus.
At the moment Liang Yuchuan was targeted, a sense of crisis surged within her. She didn’t even look for cover, charging straight to the edge of the rooftop and without hesitation, leaping off.
The three seconds of aiming were interrupted, and Yu Xunge followed suit, leaping off the rooftop just like Liang Yuchuan.
Team Three, who had just rushed up to the rooftop, covered in injuries from dodging bombs and poison: ?
With her aim interrupted, Yu Xunge didn’t lose heart. In her past life, she had known Liang Yuchuan was tough to deal with. They had fought dozens of times, and she had seen Liang Yuchuan battle players with various talents—she had never lost.
If her intelligence was ten points, she only used one for daily life, while the remaining nine were dedicated to combat talent and awareness.
Yu Xunge chased after Liang Yuchuan, and as she leaped off the rooftop, she began to aim again, this time at Liang Yuchuan’s left thumb.
1, 2, 3—bang—gunfire!
The first shot!
Even though Liang Yuchuan quickly dodged to the side upon hearing the gunshot, under the effect of “I’m about to get serious (passive),” she couldn’t evade this hit. The high-speed bullet shattered most of the bones and muscles in her left thumb, a portion of her finger falling to the ground.
Liang Yuchuan let out a scream, but she swallowed it back down halfway; the cries of the defeated were trophies for the victor, and she wouldn’t give them up!
At the same time, hidden sprinklers around the Liang residence began to spray a massive amount of water, the fountain in the center of the estate shooting water high into the sky. In an instant, the entire Liang residence was enveloped in a curtain of rain.
This area had been specially designed and installed for Liang Yuchuan; the Liang residence was her domain.
At that moment, Liang Yuchuan hadn’t yet realized the severity of her injury. She only cursed herself for dodging too slowly, thinking that the attacker had predicted her prediction.
Biting her lip, Liang Yuchuan endured the excruciating pain and continued to run. She could hear Liang Sha’s voice, commanding everyone in the Liang family to protect her.
She saw the old butler flying through the air.
She heard Liang Jing’s furious roar and the pleading voice trying to calm the person behind her.
Yu Xunge stepped on the half-finger still lying on the ground, her black boots pushing off hard. As she charged forward, she crushed the remaining piece of flesh.
In the next moment, Liang Yuchuan vanished.
The instant Liang Yuchuan disappeared, Yu Xunge didn’t hesitate to use shadow teleportation to leave her original spot, reappearing at the 7 o’clock position from where she had been.
As she landed, she pulled out an electromagnetic grenade and tossed it toward her previous location.
Almost simultaneously, a figure emerged from the falling droplets nearby, brandishing a dagger and swinging it fiercely. However, waiting for her was an electromagnetic grenade about to explode.
The attack and defense were so perfectly timed, it felt as if the two had rehearsed it beforehand.
The electromagnetic grenade detonated, creating a circular electromagnetic field with a radius of about one meter, and Liang Yuchuan was knocked to the ground.
In that moment, Yu Xunge raised her gun. The distance between them was now less than three meters; she didn’t even need to aim for three seconds—this shot was guaranteed to hit.
Bang—!!!
Another gunshot!
The second shot!
This time, Liang Yuchuan lost her left index finger.
