"There's another message from Military Blade," he said. "Not long ago, he led a team from Group B to America to carry out a mission and they happened to run into the Skull Society. They suffered a heavy loss."
"According to him, the members of the Skull Society seemed 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 seemed to be blue!"
"What!" Su Chen exclaimed 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 members 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 sometime later!"
"Really?"
Lone Wolf, upon hearing Su Chen's intention to return, immediately cried out in excitement.
Was the Nether King finally about to make his comeback? Lone Wolf eagerly anticipated that moment!
"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 Refinement!
"Hall Master, with this development, 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 somewhat heavy-hearted as the weight on his shoulders seemed to increase suddenly.
At that moment, Xia Qiuru also woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she remembered the previous scene and her face flushed with embarrassment.
"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 some scruples, otherwise, she didn't dare to continue the thought...
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 met 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 embarrassment and annoyance, and Xu Xinran quickly fled toward the house, shouting as she ran:
"She's trying to silence me by murder!"
The two women chased and ran all the way to the house they rented together...
...
The moment 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 home."
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 immediately 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!
