Chapter 45: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred

Xu Chao's shadow quickly moved towards the Qin family's convoy. The Qin family's troops, trained and elite, immediately raised the alarm.

“Enemy attack!!!”Rêađ latest cha/p/ters on no/v/e/l(b)in(.)c/o/m

The soldiers on the forward-guard tanks opened fire instantly, countless machine guns weaving a net of bullets in response, showcasing their rapid reaction time.

However, Xu Chao's shadow was even more elusive. Regular bullets, even if they passed through his shadow, caused no damage at all.

In fact, firearms can pose a threat to some evolved individuals, especially those with strength-enhancement abilities. But Xu Chao's shadow, existing somewhere between tangible and intangible, was a spiritual talent.

Hence, these bullets couldn't harm him.

Xu Chao's shadow charged directly towards the extended limousine carrying Qin Jun, menacingly spreading out like a shadow over a building's height, creating an intimate scene.

Finally, the Qin family's evolved members took action. With a flash, a middle-aged man in a black uniform snorted coldly, blue flames flickering in his eyes.

A dazzling blue flame beam burst from his body, soaring into the sky and colliding with Xu Chao's shadow.

The intensity of the blue flame beam was terrifying, distorting the surrounding air. Xu Chao didn't dare to take it head-on and had to shift his position to avoid the frightening blue flames.

Xu Chao felt a bit grim. He knew the Qin family of Dongdu was powerful, but he hadn't expected to be unable to get past the first hurdle.

More evolved individuals appeared, all clad in black uniforms, staring coldly at Xu Chao.

Xu Chao had observed large refugees through his shadow ghost in the past few days and noted the varied personalities of their evolved individuals—some arrogant, some flamboyant, some composed—with all sorts of attire.

Although attire doesn't directly impact combat effectiveness, seeing so many evolved individuals uniformly dressed in black military uniforms like an organized army was incredibly oppressive.

How dare a nobody spew such nonsense?

They had pledged loyalty to the Qin family, tying their interests to the Qin family's fortunes. Glory and defeat were shared. Seeing an insignificant shadow disrespecting Qin Jun, their young master, filled them with fury.

“You're dead!” Xie Han's eyes burned with murderous intent.

Suddenly, the void behind Xu Chao rippled, and a graceful figure appeared, thrusting a dagger towards Xu Chao's chest!

It was Wang Zhi, who had recently joined the Qin family. However, Wang Zhi's dagger seemed to pierce through thin air; Xu Chao's shadow was a spiritual entity, impervious to physical attacks.

Xu Chao's eyes widened when he saw Wang Zhi. The black uniform perfectly highlighted her graceful figure, but it also scared Xu Chao. He hadn't sensed Wang Zhi's presence at all. Her shadow camouflage talent made her a born assassin!

Failing her first strike, Wang Zhi retreated, glaring coldly at Xu Chao's shadow with frustration. She had hoped to kill him and impress Qin Jun, but the shadow's spiritual nature foiled her.

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, observing Xu Chao's shadow. Xu Chao was about to speak again when he felt the surrounding void collapse, crushing towards the center. The next moment, his shadow was destroyed by an unseen force!

Witnessing this, the Qin family's evolved individuals looked at Qin Jun with reverence—not just for his status but for his strength.

A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Jun's face as he heard the system prompt.

“Ding—Detected a Child of Destiny, Xu Chao.”

“Mission: Eliminate the threat of Xu Chao. Reward: 35 Villain Points.”

“Ding, evaluating the potential value of Child of Fortune Xu Chao... Evaluation complete. Potential Harvest Value: S-level!”
