"Or perhaps you’re just getting old, which is why your ability to scare your enemies doesn’t work on me." Shenlian Yingyue addressed the mafia boss with an expressionless face, yet her honest words were sharp enough to cut.
Laughter erupted from everyone in the small world at her bold remarks. Even Xie Xie couldn’t suppress a soft chuckle.
"What did you say?" A sinister smile suddenly blossomed on the mafia boss’s face, making him appear exceptionally menacing.
If ghosts were terrifying, then the smile of this man completely surpassed the chilling grins of any specter.
"You’re very powerful and wealthy; why not get your hearing and health checked?" Shenlian Yingyue replied, her puzzlement evident.
Her question caused everyone’s lips to twitch in amusement.
"Very good, very good. You’ve finally pushed me beyond my limits!" The mafia boss shouted as he raised his hand, intent on striking her and inflicting cruel torment.
However, before his hand could connect with her cheek, a slender hand grasped his wrist effortlessly.
He was about to explode with fury and eliminate the person who dared to intervene when the next scene unfolded, leaving his eyes wide with disbelief.
The ’weak woman’ who was meant to be overpowered was now holding his hand firmly. When had she freed herself from his grasp?
"AHHH AHHH!!" Before he could comprehend the situation, he was startled by the horrified screams of his subordinates.
Gunshots rang out within the once-quiet building, yet none of the bullets managed to pierce Xie Xie’s skin.
The scene that followed left the mafia boss and his men with an unforgettable memory etched in their minds.
Hundreds of professional gangsters in black suits, men who had killed thousands in the past, were now kneeling motionlessly before Xie Xie.
These individuals, who had once caused high-ranking police officials to despair and instilled fear around the world, now resembled obedient puppies.
Only the mafia boss and his left and right-hand men remained standing, as a dreadful silence enveloped the atmosphere, sending chills down their spines.
An evil aura and energy permeated the surroundings as soon as these powerful figures arrived. But they were suppressed by Xie Xie.
Shenlian Yingyue nodded, noting that they didn’t seem to practice any dark arts like other evil cultivators. However, their breaths were thick with a dangerous, evil, malevolent aura, a result of the countless lives they had taken and the heinous acts they had committed.
"Master, I almost killed them," Xie Xie admitted, realizing he had nearly crossed the boundary she had set for him. If he hadn’t reacted in time, he would have jeopardized her plans.
In this world, killing was strictly forbidden. Regardless of the sins or crimes committed by an individual, that person had to be handed over to the law for judgment.
"Master, did I bring trouble to you?" He appeared behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and lowering his eyelashes. His voice was soft, reminiscent of a puppy awaiting its owner’s reprimand for a misdeed.
