Boom!
Long Yiyi and the Mediterranean man had just stepped out the door when the roar of a motorcycle echoed in their ears.
A fiery red motorcycle appeared within their sight, drifting and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Long Yiyi frowned slightly. What was Gu Mo up to? Hadn’t she told him to keep it low-key near the branch?
But as the dust settled, she saw a stranger on the bike.
The Mediterranean man, expressionless, commented blandly, “Team Leader Long, your Team 4 members sure are lively.”
Long Yiyi had no time for him; her eyes were fixed on the young man on the motorcycle.
“Who are you, and why are you riding Gu Mo’s bike?”
The young man leisurely hung his helmet on the handlebar and tossed a burlap sack from the back of the bike.
Unable to determine what was inside, the Mediterranean man quietly retreated to what he considered a safe distance before stopping.
Long Yiyi squatted down and lightly scratched the sack with her nail, causing it to tear open, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
“Team… Team Leader.”
Familiar because this was her subordinate of five years, unfamiliar because his face was bruised and battered, with multiple wounds on his body.
Seeing her bloodied subordinate, Long Yiyi’s eyes turned icy cold.
Leaning against the bike, Ye Shuangluo lazily said, “Don’t thank me. I just dealt with a traitor and a pest within our ranks. It’s what I should do.”
His words were like adding fuel to the fire. Long Yiyi, gathering her energy, spat a fireball at the young man.
Bang!
Although the young man dodged, the expensive modified motorcycle was blown to pieces by the fireball.
Not one to be outdone, Ye Shuangluo willed countless blue ice spikes to fly towards Long Yiyi.
Crack, crack, crack!
The first ice spike hit its mark, piercing her left arm and leaving a not-too-small blood hole.
But soon, the temperature around her began to rise rapidly, melting any ice spikes that came close.
After all, they were fighting at the entrance of Team 4’s branch, and the commotion was not small.
In no time, all the members of Team 4 rushed out.
Long Yiyi glanced around; except for Xiao Yu, who was babysitting, everyone else was by her side.
Perhaps feeling emboldened by her numbers, she asked, “Tell me, who are you to dare cause trouble in Dragon City?”
Ye Shuangluo shrugged and chuckled, “How’s your daughter? I’m here, where is she?”
At these words, Long Yiyi and the Team 4 members instantly knew who he was.
“It’s you!
Ha, that coward Lu Feiyang actually sent you.
But I’ve changed my mind! Since you dared to hurt Ah Mo, you’re not leaving.”
Long Yiyi took a step forward, and the temperature around her rose again.
“I’ll tell Lu Feiyang that ‘Eternal Night’ attacked us, and you were killed in the chaos.”
“What a coincidence, I’ve changed my mind too.”
Ye Shuangluo raised Mortal Kill, the blade pointing at all the Team 4 members present.
“I never expected you to be exploiting the people of Dragon City daily.
Long Yiyi, I heard that when your husband was alive, Dragon City was one of the top ten civilized cities in Dayan. Do you think you’re worthy of your late husband?”
Before Ye Shuangluo finished speaking, a young man wearing a half-face mask from Team 4 couldn’t hold back and jumped out.
“How dare you!”
He seemed eager to prove himself and activated his ability directly.
In the next second, he leaped from Ye Shuangluo’s shadow behind him.
But before he could launch his sneak attack, Ye Shuangluo had already extended his hand backward.
Crack!
Countless ice elements gathered, and in the blink of an eye, the young man was frozen into an ice sculpture.
This move clearly intimidated the other Team 4 members who wanted to attack him.
Pointing at the fallen Gu Mo, Ye Shuangluo said word by word, “He confessed to everything you did. I have video and audio evidence.”
Hearing this, the Mediterranean man immediately jumped out.
“Oh dear, Team Leader Long, he has evidence. This puts me in a tough spot. I’d love to help you, but…”
His greedy eyes roamed over Long Yiyi’s body, his meaning clear.
Before Long Yiyi could respond, a dark-skinned bald man from Team 4 shouted angrily, “Tough spot? Then don’t do it!
If you keep ogling, I’ll gouge your eyes out and stomp on them.”
The Mediterranean man’s eyes narrowed instantly, not daring to look at Long Yiyi again.
After yelling at the Mediterranean man, the bald man turned to Ye Shuangluo and shouted, “Kid, do you know why this place is called Dragon City?”
“Why?”
“Because this is Dragon City, Long Yiyi’s Dragon City!”
Ye Shuangluo smiled silently. Did this woman really think she was an empress? So arrogant?
Even if she were an empress, so what?
He had killed emperors who ruled the world before.
“Sister Yi, we might as well all quit ‘Dawn.’ I want to see how good Dragon City will be without us.”
“Yeah, Sister Yi, even if we quit ‘Dawn,’ they can’t do anything to us.”
“Right, Dragon City is our territory. Even if we leave ‘Dawn,’ it’s still our territory. The emperor is far away; why should we be constrained by ‘Dawn’?”
The people around her chimed in, actually swaying Long Yiyi a bit.
“Fine, we’ll all quit ‘Dawn’ together and no longer be constrained.”
After saying this, Long Yiyi felt a weight lift off her shoulders.
Clap, clap, clap.
Ye Shuangluo clapped forcefully, saying something that left everyone stunned.
“Do you know? In ‘Dawn,’ there is no quitting, only dying in battle!
Since you all want to leave so badly, let me help you.”
Hearing Ye Shuangluo’s words, everyone was bewildered.
When did ‘Dawn’ have such a rule?
The dark-skinned man was the first to voice his doubt:
“You’re talking nonsense. When did ‘Dawn’ have such an outrageous rule?”
A kind smile appeared on the young man’s face, but his tone was domineering and unquestionable:
“It didn’t before, but now that I’m here, my word is the rule!”
Immediately, a terrifying Killing Aura emanated from the young man, making even these seasoned ability users who fought Ghost Stories feel suffocated.
Giggle!
With one slash, he cut the frozen Team 4 member, ice and all, in half.
Silence. The entire scene fell into silence.
No one could believe what they had just witnessed. Their companion, with whom they had lived and fought, was really killed.
Ye Shuangluo’s actions made it clear: he wasn’t joking or making empty threats; he was dead serious.
In the midst of the silence, Ye Shuangluo raised the still-bloody Mortal Kill, the blade pointing at all the Team 4 members present.
“How can we eliminate Ghost Stories and protect the people of Dayan with you parasites around?
A bunch of leeches who take money but do nothing.
Today, I’m going to remove all of Team 4 from ‘Dawn.’”
