Lu Yao untied the ropes that bound the pitiful women and signalled for them to leave.
The women ran off in utter panic, not daring to look back.
Only Ayla squinted through her swollen eyes and looked at the man before her, "Mister, is that you?"
Lu Yao removed his mask, "You okay? How did you get dragged into this?"
Ayla forced a miserable smile, "They found out I was hiding..."
Lu Yao said, "It’s all right now, you should go. Find some money these guys carried and start a new life somewhere else."
Ayla nodded, then said, "The Executioner only speaks Flemish, let me translate for you."

At that moment, the burly, muscular man known as "The Executioner" Perez was struggling to crawl on the ground.
The opponent this time was not human! His body, weighing over 200 pounds, was tossed like a rabbit, flying 20 meters!!!
As a fervent fitness enthusiast, Perez was very sensitive to strength and acutely aware of how terrifying Lu Yao was.
Unfortunately, he had only managed to crawl less than 50 meters before his spine was stepped on.
Lu Yao slowly applied pressure with his foot, while Ayla squatted down to interrogate, "Where is your boss, Zhang Xin?"
Perez flailed like a girl being tormented, continuously slapping at Lu Yao’s leg, and bellowing out:
"Do you have any idea who you’ve crossed! Zhang Xin will throw you into caustic soda and make a ’thick soup’ out of you!"
At this moment, his relentless struggles dragged a headless skeleton out of the bushes nearby, getting tangled in his hand and covered with flying dust.
Lu Yao, not in the mood for idle talk, "crack" a sound as he directly crushed the man’s ankle, then grinding it, creating a sound like twisting celery.
Perez let out a sky-piercing howl of pain, on the verge of passing out from the excruciating pain, but Lu Yao slapped his spine twice, forcing him to stay conscious.
After all, this man was just a gang bruiser, devoid of an iron will, and under the pain strong enough to cause unconsciousness, he immediately broke down:
Zhang Xin shook his head helplessly, "You actually suspect that I have secretly stashed away the formula..."
"Originally, we did suspect you," Rose glanced at Zhang Xin with her one good eye and scoffed, "Now, I don’t think it was you."
At that time, Zhang Xin’s face was both pale and sallow, and although young, his whole being was pervaded by an aura of death, identical to Lu Yao’s when he was ill.
His face was caked with heavy makeup, and more outlandishly, he was dressed in women’s clothing—a sexy, floral, tea-break long dress!
Rose looked at his androgynous appearance and ridiculed,
"You like to poison with radioactive materials. But with long-term exposure, even the best protection isn’t foolproof, and you’ve managed to contaminate yourself as well. It’s my first time hearing about a man getting breast cancer, but does cancer make a person lose their mind?"
Zhang Xin stood up boldly and turned a circle, allowing the hem of his dress to billow, "I’ve just come to terms with life and death and decided to be my most authentic self."
Rose put away her expression, "It seems... our side needs to find another partner who is mentally stable."
Zhang Xin stopped spinning, his narrow eyes fixated on Rose, "Do you think I’m not up to the task with this appearance?"
Rose nodded, "The Foreign Affairs Bureau needs a spokesperson for international drug trafficking syndicates, not a perverse cross-dresser who only knows how to dance and apply makeup."
Zhang Xin’s face turned cold, and he spoke to his wristband, "Bring them in."
The golden door was pushed open, and a square-faced man, followed by a group of armed personnel dressed in bulletproof vests and carrying AKs, brought in a man and a woman and threw them on the ground.
Zhang Xin said, "A Drug Enforcement Administration agent and an Interpol officer, both had crossed the border from Star Alliance Country to scout for information. Your Foreign Affairs Bureau’s investigation into the whereabouts of the formula has attracted attention from the outside world; it’s I who covered up your bureau’s blunders!"
Then, he whistled at the white tiger, and the huge beast let out a low growl and immediately pounced on the male DEA agent, biting through his neck in one bite and then tearing him open with its claws.
Zhang Xin looked towards Rose, "How about it? Am I not a competent partner?"
The latter shrugged her shoulders, "I will report the truth to Director Andre. By the way, kill this woman as well."
Zhang Xin licked his lips, "This woman is my entertainment for the night. We’re going to have a wonderful evening."
Rose asked, curious, "Hormone treatment for breast cancer is feminizing you, developing female characteristics. Do you still have the capacity?"
Zhang Xin chuckled, "Would you like to give it a try? I really like women who exercise regularly like you, your bodies are exceptionally flexible, there’s a great sense of conquest."
As the two discussed unfazed, the square-faced man entered again and reported, "Boss, we have an intruder."
