Chapter 1015: Chapter 1056: The Golden Eagle Arrives

Sophia’s speed was swift, in an instant she was just over a meter away from Cao Bin, just a little bit more and she could put her knife to Cao Bin’s throat.

But Sophia still underestimated the speed of those two, missing it by only a little distance; she felt an intense danger from behind. If she went for Cao Bin, she would definitely be hit immediately, and given the monstrous reaction speed and strength of those two, Sophia knew the consequences of being hit would be horrendous.

This might be her only chance, though; if she couldn’t control Cao Bin, she would die sooner or later anyway. Even if she was hit, as long as she had a breath left in her, she could control Cao Bin and possibly make him release Lin Qiong first. Then she would have completed her mission.

The judgment in her mind was instantaneous, but her body had already reacted. All the strength in her body was now concentrated in her back; her eyes dead set on Cao Bin, she was prepared to take the hit just to get control of him.

"Boom!" A huge impact noise rang in her ears, and Sophia felt a strong hit on her back. Using the momentum of the impact, Sophia’s forward speed increased, bringing her directly in front of Cao Bin, placing her dagger at his throat with a quick step, she was already behind him.

During this process, Sophia was somewhat surprised, as the hit she received on her back wasn’t as unbearable as she had imagined. Although it was strong, it wasn’t enough to injure her, so her subsequent actions were as smooth as flowing clouds, easily taking Cao Bin hostage.

Only then did she look forward and understand why she hadn’t been injured—it was because a man’s back was right before her eyes. Even without seeing his face, she recognized at once that this man was Li Yifei, her master.

"Master!" Sophia cried out in surprise.

Li Yifei didn’t look back and simply waved his hand, saying, "Go and rescue Qiongqiong, I’ll handle it here."

"Okay!" With a chop to Cao Bin’s neck, Sophia knocked him unconscious, then rapidly descended. Master was about to engage with those two monsters, and this was a rare opportunity to observe. She wanted to return as quickly as possible to watch.

There were others on the ship, but except for those two monsters, nobody was worth Sophia’s effort. In less than ten seconds, she had already rushed to the cabin where Lin Qiong was imprisoned.

Seeing Sophia entering again, Lin Qiong immediately asked excitedly, "Is everything resolved?"

Sophia rushed over and cut the ropes binding Lin Qiong, saying, "The master is here."

Lin Qiong was overjoyed. With Li Yifei’s arrival, everything would be alright. Anxious, she asked, "Where is Yifei?"

"Master is up there, fighting those two monsters."

"Let’s hurry up." Lin Qiong tried to rush up quickly but neglected the weakness in her limbs and nearly fell. Fortunately, Sophia caught her in time and, without further ado, carried Lin Qiong up to the deck.

On the deck, Li Yifei was engaged in a fierce fight with those two guys, moving extremely fast, with the sounds of their punches colliding incessantly like exploding beans.

Lin Qiong wanted to shout out, but seeing the intense fight, she quickly closed her mouth as she didn’t want to distract Li Yifei.

"Qiongqiong, are you alright?" Li Yifei asked first.

Lin Qiong then replied, "I’m fine, just be careful."

Li Yifei laughed, "Don’t worry, they can’t hurt me, but these two guys are quite tricky."

Sophia quickly said, "Master, these two guys weren’t supposed to be much, but for some reason, they suddenly became very powerful; even my Flying Daggers couldn’t pierce their bodies."

Li Yifei, while juggling with the two, said, "These people must have taken some drug that stimulates their potential, and their strength suddenly skyrocketed."

Li Yifei was aware of such things; many countries conducted research in this area, and some had even made breakthroughs. He had once encountered two individuals whose strength increased by roughly fifty percent after taking drugs, even though they were mediocre before.

And these two guys seemed to be using drugs more advanced than any he had encountered before, so their strength had increased considerably, especially since it wasn’t just their power and speed that had increased, but also their body’s toughness. He had struck them numerous times, but could only repel them and was actually unable to inflict any injuries.

Li Yifei had actually arrived on this boat right after Sophia did. Today, when Lin Qiong received that phone call, it made him feel suspicious, so he wasn’t comfortable letting Sophia come alone. But he had remained out of sight because if things went smoothly, he still wanted Lin Qiong to complete the task on her own, to avoid her feeling that everything she did was under the shadow of Li Yifei.

When Sophia was fighting the first guy, he also noticed that though the man was strong, he was no match for Sophia. But then he saw the guy secretly injecting something into his arm, which instantly turned him into such a formidable opponent, and that really surprised Li Yifei.

So, he had no choice but to make a move at that point, otherwise, Sophia was going to get hurt.

After fighting for a while, Li Yifei was fairly certain that what they had enhanced was mainly their own bodies; their martial skills and techniques couldn’t be improved, so even with their added strength, they weren’t much of a threat to him. He wanted to research how much their bodily toughness could be increased, and he also wanted to know how long these people could be boosted by the drugs, so he kept increasing his power, and, accompanied by the sound of his hits, expressions of pain finally started appearing on their faces.

This indicated that they were feeling pain, and by that time, Li Yifei’s power had reached eighty percent.

Li Yifei was well aware of his own strength. With eighty percent of his power, he could easily look down on countless experts. Those who could match eighty percent of his power were definitely considered to be super-experts in this world, yet these two guys, with the help of drugs, had reached this level, indicating that the drug’s efficacy was quite formidable.

After watching for a while, Sophia could see that these two men were still far inferior to her master, but witnessing her master in action was a rare opportunity for her, so she watched with utmost seriousness.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiong watched with a pounding heart. She was used to seeing Li Yifei take out opponents with ease, often in one strike; this was her first time encountering someone who could actually contend with Li Yifei to such an extent. With her limited strength, she couldn’t discern the intricacies of the fight, only seeing the three of them in heated combat, which naturally made her worry.

"Ah!" Li Yifei once again punched the guy on the left. This time, the guy let out a loud shout and was sent flying through the air. Li Yifei was taken aback; his punch wasn’t particularly strong since it was meant to be a feint, but it hit the mark. With an effortless swing, Li Yifei’s other fist struck the other man, who also flew out without making a sound, and was actually killed by that punch from Li Yifei.

"Ten minutes!" Li Yifei estimated the time and immediately knew how long the drug’s effects lasted. Moreover, once the drug wore off, the person would rapidly enter a state of weakness, which meant that these two men couldn’t withstand even his seemingly careless attacks.

That made the drug pretty domineering; ten minutes was enough for a strong person to accomplish a lot. Just like the situation they had just encountered, if Li Yifei hadn’t been so much stronger than them, he would have been killed by the two of them within those ten minutes.

"Husband, are you okay?" Lin Qiong rushed up excitedly. By now, the effects of the drug had finally worn off, and she had returned to normal.

Li Yifei hugged Lin Qiong and said with a smile, "How could you get hurt? It’s good that you’re okay."

Lin Qiong hit Li Yifei lightly and said, "Are you afraid that someone else would take advantage of me and you’d lose out?"

Li Yifei hugged Lin Qiong close, kissed her forehead, and said, "Of course. You’re my wife. If someone else takes advantage of you, of course I’d be at a huge loss. That’s absolutely not acceptable."

"Stingy." Lin Qiong chuckled lightly and then pushed Li Yifei away. She walked over to Cao Bin, kicked him, and cursed, "You bastard, you’ve really got some nerve."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but admire Cao Bin’s audacity; even at this juncture, he dared to come back and try to capture Lin Qiong. He turned to Sophia and said, "Get everyone else under control, and don’t kill anyone."

"Yes!" Sophia responded, circled the boat, and quickly subdued more than a dozen other men aboard. She encountered only minor resistance and knocked out most of them, then took the helm and steered the boat towards the port. For a killer, being proficient in boat handling was a must.

By this time, Lin Qiong had already called her colleagues. Just after she finished the call, Cao Bin woke up.

Struggling to sit up, Cao Bin’s eyes widened in shock upon seeing Lin Qiong standing unharmed before him. This meant his operation had failed. He couldn’t fathom it—after all, the organization had sent two experts, how could it be a failure?

And when he saw Li Yifei, his eyes bulged even wider. He just couldn’t wrap his head around why Li Yifei would be here at this time, and with a frown, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Li Yifei looked at Cao Bin and said indifferently, "You were using my wife’s company to transport drugs. If I didn’t show up, wouldn’t that be too easy for you?"

"What do you want to do?" Cao Bin’s eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively stepped back, but inside he was plotting—to put on an appearance of shock and then take the chance to jump into the sea. Otherwise, if Lin Qiong caught him, he would be done for.
