“I’m fine with letting your son go, but I don’t want your money.” The man with the mask slowly removed the mask, revealing his true face. It was Carmen himself!

Don’t want money?

Wu Zicheng was slightly stunned. As the old saying goes, panic causes one to lose composure. Now that he’s calmed down again, the professor finally figured it out.

He got the news that his son had gambled a fortune and owed five million dollars to some loan shark. So that’s why he was here tonight, to pay the ransom money and get his son back. But now it all made sense. The gambling debt was a lie, and this kidnapper planned it from the start!

He asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? What do you want?”

Carmen smiled coldly, “Professor Wu Zicheng, I just need you to help me do one thing, and after it is done, your son will naturally be returned to you safely.”

“What?”

Carmen took out his gun and gave it a flick to show the man, “I want you to sneak next to Song tomorrow and hold her hostage. Use this gun to kill the government agents if you need to.”

“Impossible!” Wu Zicheng didn’t even need to think and refused, “You’re dreaming if you think I will do that!”

How important was Song to Dahan? Very important, and the professor knew that better than most people out there.

Then Wu Zicheng’s son started to whimper some more with a determined and encouraging face.

Father did not agree.

That’s great!

The young lad feared his father would actually agree to the demand and do something irrational. At that point, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life!

Carmen caught onto this and knew his plan wasn’t working out as planned. These two are planning to die before they submit to his scheme.

Sneering in contempt at the heroic ploy, “Talk about being loyal martyrs, but what a shame, I’m not asking here.”

Wu Zicheng doesn’t know what Carmen intends to do, nor does he want to know. Without a second of hesitation, the professor swung around and bolted for the door.

He intends to report this plot to the government bodies right away. Earlier, he agreed to keep working with the loan sharks thinking it was only for information about the singer’s villa, but this mess has evolved into a mess bigger than he could manage.

However, before he could run out the door, Carmen had already jumped after him with a playful expression of a cat toying with a mouse. The kidnapper easily throws the professor backward after one grab by the scruff of the neck.

“Woohoo!” The son watched on distraught as his father got manhandled.

After the initial slam to the ground, Carmen shot a playful grin at his hostage before turning back to the prey with a strange instrument in hand. First stuffing it over the professor’s head, Wu Zicheng’s entire body started to convulse violently while the device made a serrating sound that soon drew blood.

Moments later, Carmen removed the device and placed it over his own head this time. By the time he took it from himself as well, the youngster’s face had changed! He now looked like Wu Zicheng, who lay unconscious and bloodied on the floor.

Looking at this, the professor’s son cried even harder despite having a cloth stuffed in his mouth.

“Hahah, do I look like your dad?” Carmen relished in the agony of others and grew more perverted in his smile.

He did not kill Wu Zicheng’s son, but he did place a TV of Song’s broadcast in front of him. With a cackling laugh, “Sit here and watch how your father becomes the greatest criminal in the history of Dahan, kekeke!”

“Woohoo!” The son’s eyes turned bloody red, glaring blades of fire at Carmen, who was laughing wildly before himself. He’s so angry that the nails had embedded themselves into his palm.

……

Next day.

Song never felt so refreshed and renewed after sleeping through the night. So, instead of waking up early, she had slept in until ten o’clock today.

As for the three friends and others, they were already waiting in the underground world in the early hours.

Coco spoke first with a happy face, “Sister Song, it’s rare to find you sleeping in.”

“It’s because their technique is too good,” Song said somewhat shyly.

Originally, she wanted to get more news about Chu Yun through the mouth of these four fairies but ended up sleeping so soundly that she completely forgot thanks to those massages.

Though unintentional, this sentence left the single men behind the screen inching with nowhere to vent. As for the lucky ones who had a partner, well, let’s say there were a lot of babies born the following year…

Then suddenly, a loud noise cuts over the greeting.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

This sound was like thunder, shaking everyone’s eardrums and making them instinctively flinch down.

Gunshot!

This is the sound of gunfire!

Song and the others hurriedly followed the sound, only to find that Li Tianlong and Long Jiu had actually fallen to the ground in a pool of blood.

They were all shot in the abdomen, and blood rushed forward from the wound.

Wu Zicheng, on the other hand, had his gun pointed to everyone who ran over, his mouth sneering with contempt.

“What’s going on? Why would you have a gun?!”

“WTF, Professor Wu Zichen is going crazy, what does he plan to do?”

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, I feel like something big is going to happen!”

“Directly taking down Long Jiu and Li Tianlong, the only combat strength in the group. He’s obviously planned this for a while.”

“Wu Zicheng must be a spy!”

“What to do? Hurry and think of something!!!”

……

The barrage in the live broadcast room directly exploded, causing the viewers tuning in on the show to clench those fists.

Back over in the shabby shack holding Wu Zicheng’s son, the guy painfully watched the entire event in anguish. He’s crying tears of blood because he felt so useless for being the cause of all this.

“OOhhhhhhAAAAhhhh!!!!!!”

This scene was even worse than killing him.

……

National Security Bureau

The five elders all jerked up from their seats, their faces white and heavy.

“What’s going on? What the hell is going on here?!” The Grand Elder roared, his body shaking from rage.

Song cannot be hurt, she cannot!!! We already owe Chu Yun so much, it would be our utter failure if we can’t even protect his wife!

“Mobilize the army, rush over there to save them! I want every agent nearby activated! Kill that Wu Zicheng at all costs!” For the first time ever, the Grand Elder issued the order, “Fast, go now!!!”

……

All the foreign dynasties were also shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Jill of Damei looked on in horror: “Wow, where did this warrior come from? Who would dare send their agents into Dahan and go after Song?!”

Bilu’s eyes flickered with thought, “Except for the three houses, I doubt anyone on the Blue Star would have the courage for this.”

Taiji of the Daben Dynasty: “As expected of the three houses, they’re making a move again. If they can manage to capture the singer, our country will have to change big brother again. If lucky, they might even hurt each other so much that my country can use the chance to come out on top without lifting a finger.”

The old king of the Sunset Dynasty stared deeply into the TV screen in contemplation, “If the singer is gone, I can take advantage of this opening and use the mother and daughter to replace her…”

……

The three great house’s gathering hall.

“Awesome!”

“Hahaha…”

The crowd erupted in applause and laughter.

Meinek applauded with unspeakable pride on his face, “Carmen is worthy of being my son!”

Patch gave a thumbs up, “Good, very good! Going deep into enemy lands and holding the most important person hostage, only your dark spies can pull off something like this!”

Buju cackles a laugh, “Not only that, we can kidnap the singer and bring her to us. By then, Dahan will become a fish on the chopping block.”

Using force was no longer an option after the failed invasion with the Destroyers. Therefore, kidnapping Song would be the next best thing if they wanted to retain their position as world rulers. After all, Iron Man would never dare attack them if they controlled her.

“Haha, now you all know the power of my family’s Dark Spy, right?” Meinek completely forgot the failures and was now boasting his ass off.

“Let’s not delay this further. We will send our forces over to support Carmen and rendezvous with him!” Patch said excitedly.
