"Xu Gu is so lucky to have picked such a strong bodyguard!"
Yang Xue felt extremely frustrated because she had the opportunity to recruit this 'bodyguard' for herself. Earlier, this 'bodyguard' had already agreed to her proposal to work together to save people. She planned to get closer to him, cooperate on several money-giving deals, and eventually have him on her side. However, when he mentioned that he wanted everything, she thought he was bluffing and gave up the cooperation in disgust.
Just now, he told her not to move, but she didn't listen, ruining the cooperation twice in a row. She feared that her image in his eyes had already hit rock bottom.
"Senior, just now, I..." Yang Xue tried to explain.
There were many experts in the Yang family, but they would never stoop so low as to become her bodyguards. Being a bodyguard was not a glamorous profession, so finding a powerful and promising one she could afford to hire was hard.
"It's human nature," Xu Gu said without arrogance, thinking that he was so charming that he could make the S-rank member of the Yang family obey him with just a word, especially in a life-and-death situation.
He got straight to the point, "Let's make a deal. The group of geniuses in the square is now mine. But since I don't need them all, I can give them to you at a discounted price."
Xu Gu squinted his eyes, knowing that he couldn't handle the methods of Ren Dongyang, but he believed that Yang Xue could.
He would only take a commission from the heads.
Yang Xue initially felt a bit guilty, but then she twitched her mouth. This 'senior' was too daring. So many geniuses from Xia City were taken by Ren Dongyang. Ren Dongyang might feel heartbroken.
"Alright," Yang Xue hesitated for a moment. If it were before, she might not have done something that would cause trouble, but today she almost died at the hands of Ren Dongyang, so she wouldn't let him off easily.
"Let's split the rewards fifty-fifty," Xu Gu said.
"No problem," Yang Xue pondered for a moment and thought the price was acceptable.
"Then they are all yours!" Xu Gu didn't waste time with pleasantries. He looked into the distance, where the battle was becoming fiercer as they entered the depths of the base.
He knew that Ren Dongyang's ace bodyguards were surrounding a large number of Ascension Sect members in that location. By killing these members, they could complete the mission and earn a large number of extra points. With enough points, they could buy the highest S-level accessories in the Creation Mall, which was Xu Gu's purpose for coming here.
After speaking, Xu Gu transformed into a streak of red and blue lightning and disappeared from the spot.
Feeling Xu Gu leaving, Yang Xue's mouth twitched again, amazed at his audacity. Without a doubt, he went to claim Ren Dongyang's mission rewards!
Wasn't he afraid of being surrounded by Ren Dongyang's ace bodyguards?
...
Meanwhile, Ren Dongyang cursed and fled toward the location of his ace bodyguards, feeling anxious and frightened. He had never faced such a threat before, and no one dared to offend him in his life.
"Find out who he is!"
"If I can't kill him today, I'll kill him tomorrow!"
Ren Dongyang sent several messages to his confidants, instructing them to use all available resources to investigate Xu Gu's identity.
...
"Excellent! Flying Ascension Sect is onto you!"
"We didn't seek trouble with you, but you dare to attack our stronghold!"
"Get out of here!"
"You're seeking death!"
The leader of the Ascension Sect's base, Qian Yesheng, looked fierce, wielding a huge special chainsaw that emitted red-hot sparks. He swung it towards several motorcycle Transformers who were surrounding them.
Behind him were several dozen aberrations. They were not heavily distorted, but they preserved most of their intelligence and sanity.
At this moment, they glared at Ren Dongyang's ace bodyguards, cursing at them angrily.
"Trapped beasts still fight!"
"You Flying Ascension Sect, traitors, your crimes are countless! You all deserve to die!"
The leading bodyguard, Zhang Dali, shouted in anger. He fired a frost attack from the barrel of his arm, which exploded on impact, dispelling Qian Yesheng's attack.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Qian Yesheng's expression changed drastically. The firepower was too strong for him to handle easily.
"Boom!"
As he was about to be hit by the attack, he grabbed a nearby Ascension Sect member and threw him forward. Before the collision with Zhang Dali's attack, the member exploded, creating a terrifying shockwave that dispersed Zhang Dali's attack.
"Damn it!" Zhang Dali furrowed his brows tightly. They couldn't rush forward under the threat of self-destructive attacks. They had to deploy energy shields for defense.
At the same time, they had a sense of extreme danger.
"Master Dongyang, get out of here quickly. There might be an anomaly happening here." Zhang Dali looked serious, breathing rapidly, with a bad feeling.
"What?" Ren Dongyang was stunned, his heart trembling. Could something else go wrong again?
"Boom!"
Just as he was thinking about it, a sudden change occurred. The bodies and remains of the self-destructed and killed aberrations and Ascension Sect members were seemingly called by something. They all floated in the air and rapidly converged towards a central glowing circle.
In an instant, an extremely powerful aura swept the area.
"Is this... the latest research result of the Ascension Sect?"
"This aura... it's the leader!"
"No! How is this possible!"
Zhang Dali's expression changed dramatically as he watched the sudden changes, finding it hard to believe. The situation had suddenly taken a turn for the worse.
They were in danger.
The leader, a level 30 apparition, was something they could barely handle.
"Damn it! Unexpected situations again!" Ren Dongyang's body trembled, cursing angrily. He didn't hesitate, turned around, and fled.
The leader-level aberrations were too dangerous!
However, the special aura caused his breathing to become rapid, making it difficult for him to cope. If he stayed any longer, he would surely become cannon fodder!
Today, not only did he fail to recruit the geniuses from Xia City, but he also lost numerous trusted subordinates and followers.
If they didn't get the expected additional points, it would be a significant loss.
Meanwhile, watching everything from a distance, Xu Gu's lips slightly curved upward.
Transformed into a leader-level abberation?
This meant the rewards would be even more abundant!
