"There's another ssage from Military Blade," he said. "Not long ago, he led a team from Group B to Arica to carry out a mission and they happened to run into the Skull Society. They suffered a heavy loss."
"According to him, the mbers of the Skull Society seed to be not human at all. In battle, they fought with the tactics of a suicide squad. Yet, their healing abilities were incredibly strong; wounded areas healed almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even stranger, their blood seed to be blue!"
"What!" Su Chen exclaid in surprise, "Did you just say their blood is blue?"
"Yes!" Lone Wolf was a bit puzzled by the Hall Master's sudden reaction. "According to Military Blade, that's what he saw. He witnessed the blood from the wounds of many Skull Society mbers was a blue liquid."
"I understand. Notify Shadow to collect as much information on the Skull Society as possible, and say it's at my request! If necessary, I might return soti later!"
"Really?"
Lone Wolf, upon hearing Su Chen's intention to return, imdiately cried out in excitent.
Was the Nether King finally about to make his coback? Lone Wolf eagerly anticipated that mont!
"Really, but it's unlikely to be soon—at least not for a few months!"
Su Chen originally had no desire to have any more connections with his past and wanted to live a quiet life, but reality forced him to reappear before the world.
Because of—the Skull Society!
If Su Chen's guess was correct, the Skull Society should be an organization founded by Tang Gang after he escaped from the Nether Temple.
And those blue-blooded individuals should be Gene Warriors created through human genetic data Tang Gang stole from a lab!
They should belong to the second generation of Gene Warriors, while the first generation's blood should be green.
If Tang Gang were to fully master this technology, it would bring catastrophic consequences to humanity, to the world—Su Chen had to stop and destroy it!
After all, these things originated from him, and he bore ultimate responsibility!
But before that, he must strive to enhance his own strength; he had to reach at least the peak of Qi Refinent!
"Hall Master, with this developnt, Demon and Eniel will definitely know the news, especially Eniel. You be careful yourself," Lone Wolf prayed silently for Su Chen.
Su Chen also sighed. There wasn't a good solution to this problem.
After finishing the call with Lone Wolf, Su Chen lit another cigarette, feeling sowhat heavy-hearted as the weight on his shoulders seed to increase suddenly.
At that mont, Xia Qiuru also woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she rembered the previous scene and her face flushed with embarrassnt.
"What have I done!"
Xia Qiuru covered her face with her hands, feeling the heat on her cheeks!
How could I have been so crazy?
Although Xia Qiuru knew she had been drugged before, she still couldn't accept her unrestrained behavior!
Fortunately, Su Chen had so scruples, otherwise, she didn't dare to continue the thought...
Thinking of Su Chen, her eyes involuntarily drifted to the figure outside the car—a silhouette that appeared sowhat lonely and heavy in the faint night.
The Su Chen at that mont seed very different from the usual man who joked and liked to take advantage of her—not the sa person!
Was he troubled by sothing?
As Xia Qiuru pondered, she felt that beneath Su Chen's frivolous exterior lay untold stories that could not be shared with others!
Xia Qiuru quietly watched Su Chen's back, touched the coat over her body, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth...
"You're awake?"
Su Chen turned his head just in ti to see Xia Qiuru looking at him, and he smiled slightly.
"Yes!"
Xia Qiuru, like a child caught stealing candy, blushed even redder.
Especially because not long ago the two had been so intimately close, which made Xia Qiuru's heart inexplicably restless.
"I'll take you ho," Su Chen said indifferently, tossing the cigarette butt on the ground.
"Thank you for today," Xia Qiuru said, looking out at the scenery flashing by outside the window.
"It was nothing," he replied.
Su Chen chuckled and gave her a glance, casually shrugging his shoulders.
The ride was quiet, and Su Chen dropped Xia Qiuru off at the entrance of her residence before turning back.
Xia Qiuru watched the car's tail lights fade into the distance, sighing softly.
Just as she was about to turn around and head inside, a familiar voice reached her ears.
"Cousin, be careful not to turn into a stone pining for her husband!"
A woman dressed in a police uniform appeared before her, bearing a resemblance to Xia Qiuru and equally stunning!
Despite wearing a police uniform, it could not hide her exquisite curves!
If Su Chen were here, he would recognize her too, for she was the well-known police beauty from Jianghai Police Departnt—Xu Xinran!
"What are you doing here?"
"What kind of question is that? I'm obviously going ho," Xu Xinran said, glancing in the direction Xia Qiuru had been staring at. She asked, "Who was that just now? You were practically lost in a daze."
"You're the one who's dazed," Xia Qiuru retorted with an inward flush of embarrassnt and her face turned a shade of peach.
"You really are smitten, Cousin," Xu Xinran exclaid in surprise as though she had discovered a new continent. "Look, you're blushing."
"Speak up, who was it?"
Won all have a love for gossip, and Xu Xinran, a police officer, was no exception!
Xu Xinran was genuinely curious; she knew just how high her cousin's standards were!
Many young masters and elites had attempted to pursue her, only to be t with disdain.
Who could he possibly be? The one to make her cousin fall head over heels?
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Xia Qiuru charged at Xu Xinran in embarrassnt and annoyance, and Xu Xinran quickly fled toward the house, shouting as she ran:
"She's trying to silence by murder!"
The two won chased and ran all the way to the house they rented together...
...
The mont Su Chen returned to his villa, Lin Ruoxue hurried over:
"How did it go? Are you all right? And Qiuru, is she fine too?"
"Everything's fine! I've already taken her ho."
Su Chen felt warmth from Lin Ruoxue's concern; the feeling was quite comforting.
But suddenly, Su Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxue's expression turned cold, like the frost of a bitterly cold winter day!
"I'm going to sleep, and tonight you're sleeping on the couch!"
Lin Ruoxue left him with those cold words and went upstairs without looking back.
What's happened? She was just showing concern, why did things change so suddenly?
"Su Brother, are you in trouble?"
Little Ruohan watched Su Chen with a schadenfreude grin, while Mrs. Wang also sighed and shook her head after glancing at him.
"What's all this about?"
Su Chen felt like a monk puzzled by a riddle, his face full of confusion!
"Su Brother, I can't help you with this one. It's already good enough that Cousin didn't hit you," Little Ruohan spoke with hands clasped behind her back and an air of pretended maturity, shaking her head with a sigh.
"I didn't do anything, did I?"
Su Chen spread his hands, indicating his innocence.
"You call this innocent? Su Brother, better go look at yourself in the mirror first!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen imdiately ran to the bathroom, and when he saw his face in the mirror, he was dumbfounded...
On his face were several prominent lipstick marks, incredibly conspicuous!
