Chapter 148: Operation Dragon Capture 0146

San Francisco.

Inside a private mansion, lights blazed as bright as day.

This was a super mansion valued at one billion dollars, not only equipped with a swimming pool, gym, and cinema, but also with a bullet-resistant basement. The spaciousness of the entire basement was by no means inferior to that of the space above ground.

In the blue swimming pool, a figure swam with a speed akin to that of a swordfish. When he emerged from the pool, his well-built body was revealed, with perfect proportions, and every muscle almost identical in size—clearly the result of meticulous training that had forged such musculature.

The man casually grabbed a towel and draped it over himself, then walked over to the lounge chair nearby and lay down.

"Duke," a senior man quietly appeared at that moment.

Without lifting his head, the man slowly said, "How’s the investigation going?"

"The man who killed the Reaper is named Ye Qiu. He is now the bodyguard of the chairman of the Longjia Group in Huaxia. His relationships with several women are somewhat ambiguous, but he hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary. He keeps a very low profile. However, it is as if Ye Qiu appeared out of thin air; no matter how much I dig, I can’t find his true background."

"So, you can’t confirm whether he has any connections with that man from the past?" The man’s tone rose slightly.

"Yes."

"I see," the man nodded suddenly.

The senior man didn’t leave but continued to report, "Duke, the Dragon Capturing operation has been quite successful. So far, more than a dozen experts have been captured, all genuine Martial Artists. Unfortunately..."

"How many of our people have died?" the man sensed the implication and asked.

"Around thirty dead soldiers," the elder replied.

Hearing this number, the man furrowed his brows—they had lost that many!

The dead soldiers were his most loyal subordinates, incapable of betrayal, and would execute orders without question. And the most terrifying thing was that the dead soldiers could mutate. After mutating, they could even fight fierce beasts barehanded and not be at a disadvantage.

"It seems we need to add a new batch of dead soldiers to replenish the blood. I’ll leave this task to you. This time, however, choose from among those children. I want to try a different experiment," the man’s gaze turned somewhat chilly as he chuckled twice.

"Later, I will meet with these Martial Artists from Huaxia. If they qualify, I will take them all for research. Perhaps the upgrade for the mutagenic energy liquid can find a breakthrough from these individuals," the man said indifferently.

"The Duke’s reasoning is sound," the senior man agreed.

The man stood up from the lounge chair and stretched his muscles before saying to the elder, "Continue capturing Huaxia’s Martial Artists, but this time be sure to be discreet. We cannot afford to alert those old fellows, or else my plan will become difficult to proceed with."

"Mm, I will selectively capture experts, trying to avoid confrontation with other Martial Artists as much as possible." The senior man nodded. His mind was scrolling through countless profiles, and the name of a southern demon lingered in his mind. It seemed a good idea to start with this individual, as he was quite peculiar, and being closest to the realm of True Qi, would be beneficial for the Duke’s research.

As for capturing Ye Qiu, the elder thought it best to play the long game, as he was an individual of the True Qi realm. Attempting to capture such an expert in Huaxia without the use of firearms, and relying only on physical strength—even with the power of mutants—it would be very difficult to subdue the adversary.

Instead, it was those who had been famous for a long time, had a not-so-good reputation, and had strong abilities who were the best targets to pursue.

...

Within the Huailing Great Mountain, six figures swiftly maneuvered through the jungle.

These six were the special operatives of the Dragon Capturing operation.

Six people were led by a tall man; this man was of pure European descent, with sky blue eyes, curly hair, and well-developed muscles all over his body that looked somewhat frightening.

As for the other five, they were relatively ordinary, slightly shorter and not as tall as the first man.

The six of them had no names, only code names.

Their purpose was simple: deep in the Huailing Great Mountain, there lived a reclusive elder. The six of them were here to capture this master.

The leading man checked the coordinates in his hand, then cross-referenced them with the map, and found that they were very close to their destination.

Atop a hill, there was a lonely thatched hut, with few trees around it, making the hut stand out conspicuously.

Ye Zi stood in front of the Southern Demon Du Ying, with a fierce look in her eyes, blocking Du Ying from looking at the old man behind her.

"I won’t let you kill him!" There was a resignation to death in Ye Zi’s eyes, and whenever Du Ying showed any intent to advance, she would change the direction of her dagger, pointing the sharp end towards him.

"Girl, don’t worry about me. I’m already one foot in the grave. If he wants to kill, then let him kill," the old man behind Ye Zi said. His words were straightforward, showing no fear of death, as if he had made peace with it.

"Heh heh, did you hear that? Since this old fool loves to meddle, I naturally have to let him know the consequences of meddling," the Southern Demon Du Ying said with a cold laugh, his laughter sounding somewhat terrifying.

Ye Zi looked at Du Ying, this man with a bizarre personality, her heart also very anxious. If it wasn’t for her, the old man behind her wouldn’t have taken action to help her escape from Du Ying. Unfortunately, the elder was no match for Du Ying and was instead injured by him.

The old man was also shocked by Du Ying’s strength. He had heard of the Southern Demon’s fame, and since the moment Ye Zi and Du Ying came to his hut asking for water, he realized that Ye Zi was being held captive, and from her, he learned that the man in front of him was the notorious Southern Demon Du Ying.

Why is he called a ’Demon’? It is due to his bizarre way of doing things, his terrifying strength, and a mind clever as a demon, which all led to his title of Southern Demon.

The old man was also a Martial Artist, having retired from the martial world for many years and living in these wild and desolate mountains. Although his martial arts hadn’t improved much, they hadn’t regressed either. He had long heard of the Southern Demon but had never met him face to face.

What shocked him the most was that the Southern Demon Du Ying had reached the state of True Qi, a threshold he himself had been treading on for a long time without ever crossing, yet Du Ying had achieved it.

So the old man was defeated, even though he was also well-known in the martial arts world, he was still no match for the Southern Demon Du Ying.

"Old man, I originally didn’t intend to take action against you, but you provoked me and almost made me lose such a good disciple," Du Ying said, clearly referring to Ye Zi.

"Tell me, how could I let you off after what you did?" The murderous intent in Du Ying’s words was palpable.

"I won’t let you kill him," Ye Zi still stood in front of Du Ying; she didn’t want the old man to die because of her. Even though she regarded human life as insignificant, she would repay those who helped her with all the strength she could muster.

"If I wanted to kill him, you couldn’t stop me." The Southern Demon Du Ying rubbed his hands, as if preparing for the kill.

Ye Zi’s gaze flickered; she knew all too well the gap between herself and Du Ying. As soon as Du Ying made a move, she wouldn’t be able to stop him, but she couldn’t stand idly by and watch the old man be killed, especially since he had tried to save her.

Whoosh!

The Southern Demon Du Ying’s gaze was like an arrow, piercing through Ye Zi’s neck and hitting the old man. Ye Zi’s heart trembled, seeing Du Ying about to strike, she suddenly shouted, "I agree to your demand!"

"Oh? What did you say?" The Southern Demon Du Ying, whose body was leaning out, abruptly drew back, looking at Ye Zi with interest.

"I agree to become your disciple, as long as you don’t kill him." Ye Zi glared at the Southern Demon Du Ying, her words filled with gritted teeth.
