As the Villain, I Have a Persuasion System Chapter 65 : First Team Battle

Jin Ruochu didn't hesitate to lift her foot and kick the sofa flying. The force was so fierce it was comparable to a rocket, charging straight at Virgil. He hastily raised his arms to block, and under the struggle of two forces, the furniture directly fell apart into wood chips. But the military-dressed man still retreated several steps, nearly backing into the glass window behind him.

"...What's with you, little girl?"

Not to ntion his inner shock—Jin Yulu beside him was also dumbfounded. Could it be that the Changfeng Financial Group's young miss had indeed been secretly modified? But there weren't any surgical rejection characteristics.

Virgil drew the tranquilizer gun from his waist and pulled the trigger, but at the crucial mont it jamd. "Damn useless piece of shit!"

Jin Ruochu flexed her wrists and shrugged, taking a fighting stance with quite the aura of a major battle.

After obtaining a series of Magical Girl knowledge from Dr. Mu, she hadn't stopped training her strength. Moreover, she already had so martial arts foundation beforehand—even facing a fusion warrior, she wasn't worried.

"You cover ."

Jin Yulu had already predicted Virgil's intention to grab Jin Changfeng as a hostage. She naturally had to protect the only ordinary person present.

"In your dreams!"

The military-dressed man was about to stop her when his right leg transmitted severe pain, making movent difficult. Looking again, Jin Ruochu had stabbed a dagger into his calf. What did this an? But the mont the girl pulled out the knife, the wound emitted hot air and regenerated completely. The next mont, she swung a hook punch right into Virgil's chin. In an instant, the world spun, but he still drew a short staff at the crucial mont and swung it, preventing the opponent from pressing the advantage with combo attacks.

During the brief exchange, Jin Yulu transferred the unconscious Jin Changfeng to the corner of the office. But as long as the enemy was still there, it couldn't be called safe. Could they really handle this?

Speaking of which, these two people's speed and strength completely exceeded human limits. How did the world's art style suddenly change without taking along?

"I didn't want to make a big fuss, but bla yourselves."

Hiss!

After Virgil finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, causing the office fire sprinklers to spray water vapor that quickly evaporated. When he put on a gas mask, the two girls' faces darkened.

"Super-effective Disaster Beast suppression agent. Although you do have so special abilities, it's useless. We also increased the concentration—this is the power of the virus relic." Before the military man finished speaking, rcenaries broke through the windows, continuously shooting tranquilizer darts.

Jin Ruochu, who had been holding on with magic power, looked at the needles on her body and imdiately felt her eyelids growing heavy. She'd been careless—she'd neglected the breath-holding training Dr. Mu had specifically instructed.

"Tie them up."

The rcenaries cautiously advanced with shields in a suppressive formation.

Just as the vanguard approached the two unconscious girls, Jin Yulu suddenly opened her eyes. Golden vertical pupils gazed at them, causing their minds to go blank as they froze in place, left only with trembling throughout their bodies.

Bang!

Jin Yulu swept with a leg sweep, causing the enemies to fall one after another. This gap was enough for her to pick up Jin Ruochu and retreat to the office door.

She had started holding her breath when she noticed the unknown mist spraying, but maintaining mobility under such potent tranquilizer darts was still unexpected. Now, carrying a girl of similar weight while moving as swift as the wind was truly incredible. But there was no ti to think as the opponent's attacks followed one after another, and the door behind them suddenly exploded.

The mont the shockwave erupted, Jin Yulu used her body to protect Jin Ruochu, but suffering this heavy blow made her dizzy. She stared at the rcenaries behind her and finally lost consciousness unwillingly.

They sward forward and firmly restrained the two target persons of this mission with high-strength binding straps. Although the plan succeeded, everyone felt lingering fear.

"Is it over?"

Only then did the chief, who had been pretending to be invisible, dare to raise his head.

Virgil pressed down on his head and said coldly: "You need to pacify Jin Changfeng and delay as much as possible. Don't worry, when necessary we'll make the Changfeng Financial Group disappear, and your reward will be higher than what was promised earlier."

"I guarantee to complete the mission." Li Congzhou, nearly scared out of his wits, hastily agreed. Having always stayed in the rear, when had he ever seen such a scene? He'd agree to whatever the other party said.

"Retreat. We'll head to the airport imdiately and leave on a private flight."

As the rcenary group left, they didn't forget to cut off the building's water and electricity and set a fire. The chaotic headquarters building made Li Congzhou crouch down with his head in his hands.

After a while, Jin Changfeng woke up and viciously grabbed his neck: "You bastard——"

"I was also forced into this."

Just as they were arguing, they felt their minds grow hazy and saw two black-clothed masked people enter through the broken window. From their figures, they should be two won, but how could ordinary people reach the 30th floor without any tools? What kind of extraordinary people were they? Seeing their hurried appearance, they should have been attracted by the explosion. After all, the Changfeng Financial Group building was a landmark of Ningfeng Harbor—causing such big news was probably visible throughout the city.

"We're too late." Nan Zhiyi observed and deduced most of the situation. Obviously, novice Magical Girls were completely outmatched against elite troops.

Unless it was soone like Hibiscus whose physical qualities could fight Disaster Beasts with fists, completely ignoring anesthesia, capture nets and other thods, it was best to be honest. If you encountered a proper, experienced army, you'd still be dood.

"No problem, aren't there witnesses here? Which of you knows the situation?"

Jin Changfeng pointed at Li Congzhou.

"Ask him."

Nan Zhiyi grabbed the well-known counterasure bureau chief like picking up a chick, and with two slaps, several more teeth flew out.

"Will you talk or not?"

"I won't..."

Another punch to the solar plexus—she really hit people like hanging paintings. Nan Zhiyi had probably practiced plenty in normal tis. Her movents had already integrated Magical Girl combat skills, with physical qualities far exceeding special forces.

After a round of punches and kicks, she smacked her lips: "This guy's a tough nut."

"I, I... don't even know what you want to ask? Why start hitting people right away? Please don't hit anymore—I can tell you anything."

The two childhood friends looked at each other and were stunned.

"Right, I told you to question him."

"Generally in TV dramas, isn't this how interrogations go?"

"Chief, forgive her—she's just a workplace newcor."

"I..."

Hibiscus extended one finger and inserted it near Li Congzhou's eye socket as if about to pluck out his eyeball. She said eerily: "Do I need to teach you how to speak? Hurry up, don't waste everyone's ti."

"Thank you, I will definitely answer everything and never cause trouble for you."

By now he thoroughly understood he was caught up in a dispute beyond common sense. In this context, power, wealth, or status were all external things—personal strength was most effective. Compared to tricking Li Congzhou, he wanted to hitch a ride even more. After all, that Miss Lyra had already prophesied the coming of the extraordinary era, and many powerful people were preparing for it. Only by not provoking the new big shots could one survive.

"What just happened? Tell us everything in detail, no lies—we can tell."

"Yes, sir."

Then Nan Zhiyi and Hibiscus learned the entire course of the office battle.

"...The people were captured, the kidnappers are preparing to flee to the Aricas. That's the situation."

Li Congzhou whispered and told them everything he witnessed, including the miraculous performance of Jin Yulu and Jin Ruochu. The rest was up to the two big shots. They were probably looking for their own kind—could it really be that Salvation Church?

Things had indeed gotten serious.

He dared not imagine how terrifying it would be if an organization that could casually produce combat power capable of eliminating boss-level Disaster Beasts unleashed its might on Ningfeng Harbor. He'd probably be reduced to nothing.

The two girls ignored Li Congzhou's panic and instead pondered the current situation.

It was confird that Jin Ruochu and Jin Yulu both belonged to Magical Girls in their awakening period and must be protected to prevent them from losing control. Taking a step back, the organization that was short on personnel should naturally win hearts—by emotion and reason, they shouldn't stand by.

Although Nan Zhiyi had 100 questions in her heart about what had happened between Hibiscus and the financial group's young miss, now wasn't the ti.

Saving people was urgent.

She looked at her partner, who nodded.

"rcenary companies aren't so ragtag bunch. From this guy's description, they're quite professional... I haven't reached the point of ignoring conventional thods yet, so I might hold you back."

"It's fine. One more person, one more strength. I'm here." Hibiscus said confidently.

To dare casually attack Magical Girls and treat them as test subjects was audacious. If this wasn't handled properly, it would encourage countless ambitions. They had to eliminate them with thunderous force. At this mont, she was more furious than when facing Disaster Beasts. After all, Jin Ruochu and Jin Yulu were both good children who always thought of everyone. Bullying people like them, let alone others—today wouldn't end without making an example of them.

Hibiscus had suspected from the beginning that Jin Yulu possessed powerful magic, at least first-rate level. Her performance just now further supported this guess—she could definitely shoulder great responsibility.

Although she could ask the netizens, ti was tight, so she'd simply preserve so anticipation.

Bang!

Nan Zhiyi punched the constantly pleading and annoying Li Congzhou unconscious, then made to leave.

Suddenly Jin Changfeng called out to them: "That bastard Virgil definitely didn't co alone—Gallup must be backing him. That guy controls a glove-shaped relic that can fuse with contacted solids, becoming indestructible while possessing Disaster Beast remains' power. Another relic is a mask that spews toxins—be extrely careful."

"Thank you for the intelligence." Hibiscus waved goodbye.

"After this, Jin Ruochu will have to completely join you, right? No need to answer—I understand everything. Anyway, this not-too-big, not-too-small enterprise will help you all."

He watched the two figures disappear on the spot, just as traceless as when they ca, without even disturbing the dust and debris on the ground. No wonder Gallup was obsessed with searching for special abilities everywhere—after all, Disaster Beasts would predictably beco stronger and stronger.

However, pure technology was aningless. Like nature's mutual generation and restraint, the power corresponding to Disaster Beasts had already appeared, right before their eyes.

Rooftop.

Nan Zhiyi shaded her eyes with her hand and gazed toward the airport. There were no signs of planes departing. Actually, based on the testimony just now, there was no guarantee whether the other party would find an interdiate station to rest before loading people onto planes.

"Do we have to watch every single plane?"

"Wait for ."

Hibiscus briefly shared the current situation as a status update and asked about intelligence on the enemy—if they were going to kidnap soone, where would they temporarily hide?

The answers that followed indeed didn't disappoint her expectations. As a world-class company, Eagle rcenary naturally had branches in various places, and Ningfeng Harbor indeed had a subsidiary. But the key wasn't there, because it was too easy to find. After causing such a big commotion, they were facing the full counterattack of Changfeng Financial Group's forces. Ard troops were rapidly surrounding the subsidiary—the hiding place was elsewhere.

The specific intelligence ca from a derivative ga that contained an Eagle underground warehouse dungeon, corresponding to reality just two streets from the airport.

"Thank you all for your help. I know where to go save people now."

【Hurry up】

【Ruthlessly slaughter those arrogant bastards】

【Rember to update】

At the sa ti, the system extracted corresponding suggestions and rewards, but Hibiscus had no ti to pay attention. Anyway, her actions would count as completion. The urgent matter was fishing the people out before complications arose. She didn't want the inexperienced girls to be left with too many psychological shadows.

Hibiscus took a deep breath and declared: "I know the location. Let's set out imdiately. From now on, show no rcy—better to strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches."

On the other side.

A loud slap echoed in the underground warehouse. Virgil covered his face and retreated several steps, but didn't dare to show anger toward his superior. After all, he knew he had indeed made things worse, but who could bla the fusion technology's side effect of emotional instability and his untily dication causing mistakes?

Gallup looked at the two girls who glared at him viciously after waking up and felt equally troubled.

He could vaguely sense magic power. Even though Jin Ruochu and Jin Yulu were tied to chairs and continuously injected with muscle relaxants, it still couldn't suppress the signs of energy climbing. It was as if their physical instincts sensed danger and were preparing to burst through their limits. Similar phenona were common in Disaster Beast captures, but erupting from compact human bodies would probably have more dangerous consequences, not to ntion the unpredictable miraculous power.

But at this point, apologizing was aningless—might as well make the mistake work.

"You'll have to take a long trip. Don't worry, we rarely kill people. There's no need for us to fall out completely." Gallup said eerily.

Jin Yulu sighed, feeling her future was hopeless. Having always regarded the chief as a benefactor, being betrayed left her disheartened.

This was bad enough—after all, everyone knew what level that guy was at. But rcenary companies that were theoretically in the sa line of work also acted without bottom lines, not touching propriety, righteousness, integrity, or sha at all. This couldn't help but make her doubt how rotten the industry she worked in was.

Jin Ruochu shook her chair and nudged her, saying:

"It's okay. Based on my experience, bad people will definitely get their couppance. These blood-stained butchers will face retribution. So many people in the company were killed by them—this definitely won't end."

"You don't need to comfort ."

"I'm stating facts and reasoning. By the way, as one of the chosen ones, would you like to co to our side? Although not an official mber, I should be able to do so promotion."

Jin Ruochu's casual propaganda drew the rcenaries' attention, but no one dared to press for answers. During transport, anyone who showed malice got hit by cars, blown up by gas leaks, or struck by falling flower pots... making them inevitably superstitious.

Only the battle-hardened Gallup reassured his subordinates not to worry, while picking up a knife and waving it near the girl's face.

"I'm also very interested. Could you please say more?"

"You bastard." Jin Yulu glared viciously but was completely immobilized by layers of binding straps. But she felt her body growing increasingly hot with surging power ready to burst forth.

Jin Ruochu said calmly: "You've accelerated fate's progress. Threatening will improve traffic conditions, so they're coming."

Gallup was stunned.

He turned back to exchange glances with Virgil—nothing happened. The surrounding subordinates looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"Kid, stop being so mystical. You're quite talented at jokes. Speaking of which, we've actually observed so people with naturally rich magic power. Perhaps you'll really grow into so kind of superhuman in the future, but for now everything remains the sa..."

Ti Stop!

In the gray world, a throwing knife hovered at Virgil's throat.

Hibiscus reached out from behind the chair to touch Jin Ruochu and Jin Yulu. The two girls suddenly saw silver-white fine sand flowing in the frozen world, then the binding straps on their bodies snapped one after another. They were rescued just like that?

"Go to the corner and stay away from the battlefield. The thod to resist the anesthetic state is to hold your breath and reduce magic power loss, letting it break through fatigue within your body. Do as I say."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hibiscus pushed them away. The mont she let go, she paused again, causing the two girls' surprised expressions to freeze.

Now for the most threatening Gallup in front—maintain distance for the kill.

Ti stop released!

Suddenly a figure appeared in the center of the heavily guarded underground warehouse. All soldiers were stunned before coming to their senses and aiming their guns. They were about to ask the boss for instructions when they saw Gallup with throwing knives in his forehead, throat, and heart, falling straight down. Beside him also stood a black-clothed person on the empty chair, cold eyes overlooking the entire scene like pronouncing a death sentence.

Just as they were leaderless and at a loss, everyone heard a low whisper: "Domain Closure."

The next mont, without exception, they all felt their bodies lose weight and float up. Around them was vast, boundless cosmic space—brilliant stars, bone-chilling cold, with only killing intent felt.

In normal tis, ordinary people would marvel at the vastness of the starry sky, but when they were helplessly cast into space, they were imdiately shocked and their morale instantly vanished.

Even Jin Yulu and Jin Ruochu, who considered themselves to possess special qualities, couldn't help but stare dumbfounded. They were calr and therefore noticed breathing wasn't obstructed, so it wasn't real space, but they were still shocked.

"Sun."

Nan Zhiyi pointed into the distance, and a golden-red star slowly flew over, heat waves washing over them, flas roaring.

The miniature sun swept past each enemy like an arrow. High temperature and heat directly lted flesh and passed through bodies, leaving huge gaps in the targets—no bleeding, no pain, death in an instant. In just a few breaths, not one enemy trapped in the domain survived.

"How's your consumption?" Hibiscus asked.

"Can't reopen for 3 minutes. There are still people coming outside. What they see is a shell reflecting starry sky, but without magic power, don't think of breaking it. You handle the interception."

Nan Zhiyi moved to the two girls' side and cast Levitation Technique to avoid accidental injury later.

Domain released!

Ti Stop!

Two of the strongest magics from their respective series seamlessly connected. Just as the reinforcent troops saw the dark starry sky shell dissolve, Hibiscus threw 20 throwing knives. Although they all wore bulletproof vests and full equipnt, once throwing knives were infused with magic power, they were unstoppable. Moreover, she aid for throat vital points.

The next mont the world regained color, so fast that corpses couldn't fall in ti. Thud sounds rose and fell while only four girls stood unmoved.

The last batch of arriving soldiers imdiately froze in place. Even without understanding what happened, they knew the situation was hopeless.

At this mont, the oppressive aura unconsciously released by Hibiscus made even well-trained personnel struggle to stand steady.

"Are you so eager because there's a supervising team behind you? Or do you think that guy lying on the ground paid enough to buy your lives? Calculate carefully, and feel free to co once you've figured it out."

Before she finished speaking, the rcenaries scattered like smoke.

Making them fight things other than Disaster Beasts already created so psychological pressure, let alone when the opponent was obviously not easy to deal with, with battle results spread all over the ground. Did they want to go up and throw my life away?

Monts later, the underground warehouse was empty and completely silent.

"How long are you going to pretend?"

As soon as Hibiscus spoke, Gallup stood up again. With a slight movent, the throwing knives stuck in his forehead, throat, and heart clattered to the ground, their tips twisted and broken, obviously blocked by extrely strong force. This guy's subcutaneous tissue had been infiltrated with magic power for a long ti, making it indestructible. Moreover, holding an alloy block, his entire body showed tallic luster—obviously his defense wasn't low. Was it thick blood with regeneration or thick skin with high defense? Why did she always encounter opponents with poor compatibility?

"Why must we fight to the end? You're Miss Lyra, right? How would I dare attack the great hero of the Disaster Beast war? We can reconcile."

"I heard you're quite high-profile and caused a lot of trouble. I happen to need a head as a deterrent signal."

Gallup's face darkened: "You probably don't have that ability."

Nan Zhiyi said: "In 3 minutes, let this guy experience an oven. Although I can't yet reproduce the sun's surface temperature, lting a layer of tal shell is no problem. Want to try?"

"3 minutes isn't long, but I don't want to wait. That's weak thinking. I'll chop off your head within 180 seconds."

"Don't be too arrogant."

Gallup roared and took out a remote control, pressing the button. Imdiately, all entrances and exits of the underground warehouse dropped heavy doors, completely sealing it. At the sa ti, he put on a ghost face mask whose large mouth emitted dark green gas. Everyone frowned—they imdiately felt their bodies weakening.

No wonder even awakening-period Magical Girls' constitutions found it hard to resist—because relic attacks were essentially magic power, especially difficult to avoid in enclosed spaces.

Just contact caused muscle relaxation—things were troubleso, not good. Even the three girls staying away from the battlefield center looked tense. Not to ntion Jin Yulu and Jin Ruochu who had already engaged, even Nan Zhiyi couldn't think of a solution for the mont. After all, she currently only mastered Domain Closure usage and was far from projecting into reality. Once used, she'd beco an insider instead.

They had to consider retreating, but the person to give orders should be Hibiscus. Without exception, they all looked at the two confronting people.

Boom!

After magic power surged, they saw a silver-haired girl wearing a red cloak and black gothic dress, with a hair ornant on her head glowing softly, her ten fingers clenched as if grasping thunder with crackling sounds.

"Useless. Even if you use that sluggishness trick, you can't break through the defense. On the contrary, the closer you get, the more infected you beco."

"Anything else to say? Hurry up."

"Don't get too cocky. I also participated in Boss Disaster Beast subjugation battles. Although I didn't kill it, just by standing still I caused huge damage to the swarm, and they had to retreat. Later they were besieged due to excessive losses." Gallup showed a sinister smile: "Understand? You're dead——"

"Finished with your last words?"

Suddenly there was a bang.

Hibiscus had sohow closed in, her slender arm piercing through his chest, spraying black-red blood. Burst internal organs slid from the wound and flowed all over the ground.

"Using poison and stacking armor—what flashy nonsense. How boring."
