Hao Siqi, a renowned treasure hunter in the underworld.
However, "treasure hunter" is merely a term of respect among her peers; in truth, she is simply a thief.
Though just a thief, she has used her exceptional skills to thrive, and in the world of thieves, she is like a queen reigning from above. Whatever treasure she sets her sights on rarely slips through her fingers.
Beautiful and powerful, these traits are the source of Hao Siqi's confidence, and she generally shows disdain toward the police and security guards who often cross paths with her.
But at this moment, Hao Siqi's expression was unusually grim—
"****, it's you!"
Standing across from Hao Siqi was a woman with similarly beautiful blonde hair, aiming a gun at her. It was ****.
As a famous figure in the underworld herself, Hao Siqi naturally recognized ****.
While Hao Siqi, the so-called queen of thieves, would sneakily steal treasures, this woman would simply rob whatever she wanted without hesitation. She was far more brazen than Hao Siqi.
Unexpectedly encountering this troublesome woman here, Hao Siqi couldn't help but curse her bad luck inwardly.
"Put down the item, reveal your employer, and get out of here!"
Seemingly in a foul mood, **** pressed the alarm button and spoke coldly.
The entire building's alarms blared, and in a few minutes, security guards would come rushing up. Hao Siqi's expression grew even darker.
But the more tense and dangerous the situation, the more important it was to stay calm. Quickly, Hao Siqi replaced her grim look with a radiant smile:
"****, we've always minded our own business. How about pretending you didn't see me?"
"If you let me leave, I'll give you half of the reward this time."
"It's a full 500,000 dollars—much easier than a single heist. What do you say? How does my offer sound?"
As Hao Siqi approached ****, calculating her move, a bullet whistled toward her.
A chill surged up, and Hao Siqi instinctively rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the lethal shot.
Seeing a few strands of her blonde hair fall, Hao Siqi felt a lingering fear and then flew into a rage:
"****, how dare you try to kill me!"
"If you won't reveal your employer, then just die!"
With a cold, icy grin, **** pulled the trigger again, firing several more bullets at Hao Siqi.
Forced to stake out here late at night, **** was already seething with anger. If this foolish woman wouldn't divulge her employer, then she was worthless. She might as well die!
Furious and panicked, Hao Siqi dodged ****'s shots while pulling out a weapon of her own to fight back. The laboratory was soon filled with the sound of gunfire.
For ordinary people, both **** and Hao Siqi were remarkably skilled fighters. Attacking and evading, neither could hit the other even after emptying their magazines.
But the two fierce women had no intention of stopping. Discarding their guns, they pounced like leopards, grappling with each other in the lab.
Both adept at martial arts, the two clashed back and forth, evenly matched. Yet, because the fighters were two beautiful blondes, the violent scene took on a strange allure.
After dozens of exchanges, *** and Hao Siqi pulled back simultaneously, creating some distance and panting lightly, each understanding the other's skills better.
Damn it, she's so tough!
Though their abilities were evenly matched, making it hard to determine a winner quickly, the situation was clearly unfavorable for Hao Siqi.
If the guards downstairs arrived, she'd be left with no choice but to surrender!
But it seemed **** had no intention of waiting for those useless guards to help. A mere Hao Siqi was enough for her alone!
Producing a rocket launcher, **** aimed at Hao Siqi, ready to blast her away.
Hao Siqi's eye twitched wildly. Even she nearly felt the urge to curse out loud.
Damn you, ****, where were you hiding such a huge rocket launcher before?!!
At this life-or-death moment, if that lunatic **** really fired, there'd be no chance of survival!
But Hao Siqi was a decisive woman. Without hesitation, she threw the data USB drive in her hand at ****.
"Take it!"
Halting her attack,***8 instinctively caught the USB, but Hao Siqi seized the opportunity to smash through the window and jump outside. By the time **** rushed over, Hao Siqi had already disappeared into the night, gliding away with her wingsuit.
"****, just you wait!"
For the first time ever, she had failed. From afar in the night, Hao Siqi's unwilling voice echoed.
Throwing the rocket launcher to the ground, ****sneered coldly:
"Hmph, you got lucky this time!"
…
Location: Snake Way—
Whizzing through the air above Snake Way were three figures shrouded in fiery red auras.
They were Yuujin, Goku, and Chi Chi!
Using the Kaio-ken to fly, their speed was nearly as fast as lightning.
The scenery around them sped by wildly, and the path along Snake Way, which had taken a long time to traverse when they first went to King Kai's Planet, was now covered in less than a day.
"Hey, King Yemma, long time no see."
"You've already finished your training with King Kai?"
"Yes, it's done!"
In King Yemma's grand hall, Yuujin exchanged a few casual words with King Yemma before eagerly teleporting back to the Kami's Lookout with Goku and Chi Chi.
He hadn't seen Bulma and the others for over a year, and now he was truly eager to return.
Watching Yuujin and the others disappear, King Yemma's face remained full of amazement.
To have completed King Kai's training in just one year, and with their auras growing by more than just a bit—these three were truly extraordinary, even more so than he had been back in the day!
"Incredible people indeed..."
…
In the Kami's Lookout, the figures of Yuujin and his companions suddenly appeared.
"Oh, we're back!"
Realizing they were back on Earth, Goku and Chi Chi jumped around excitedly in celebration.
"Kami-sama, you've returned."
Sensing their presence, Popo emerged from the temple and bowed to Yuujin.
"Popo, we're back. You've worked hard this past year."
During his absence, Popo had handled all the temple's affairs. Yuujin patted him on the shoulder in appreciation.
"No, it's what I should do."
"Kami-sama, do you need to review the past year's work?"
Shaking his head modestly, Popo asked.
"No need, Popo, I trust you!"
Yuujin spoke casually, and Popo immediately showed a look of deep gratitude.
Kami-sama, you trust me so much; I truly feel unworthy.
Yuujin saw Popo's grateful expression but felt a bit embarrassed.
Popo, oh Popo, I just don't want to deal with temple matters right now. I'm in a rush to see Bulma and the others. Did you misunderstand?
But misunderstandings sometimes make life sweeter than harsh truths, so Yuujin didn't intend to clear it up.
"Popo, I'm going to see Bulma and the others now. I'll leave the temple matters to you."
"Yes, Kami-sama."
"Goku, Chi Chi, let's go."
"Okay!"
Once again leaving the temple duties to Popo, Yuujin, Goku, and Chi Chi burst into the sky, while Popo watched them depart with respectful eyes.
Having returned from King Kai's training, it seemed Kami-sama had become even stronger…
