It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

He actually knew very little about Xia Wuyou, and didn't really care about her relationship with Shen He.

Now he just wanted to smash the culprit into a pulp!

The war hammer fell heavily, and the deep pit created was a solid proof of how terrifying his power was with the blessing of supernatural powers.

However, facing such a fierce attack, Xia Wuyou dodged it easily by just turning sideways, and then rushed in front of Chen Fang at a strange angle.

As an arc of light appeared on her wrist, the next second, Chen Fang discovered with horror that his body seemed to have taken root in the ground.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it even a little bit.

"伱......"

Before he could speak, the sword in the girl's hand was already in front of him.

"laugh--"

The alloy blade made a humming sound and instantly shattered Chen Fang's armor.

He himself was pierced like tofu and knelt limply on the ground. His bloated body and vitality deflated like a balloon.

One hit kill.

Xia Wuyou sheathed the knife and closed his eyes in pain.

"……sorry."

-

"Wonderful, so wonderful."

Another team of trucks drove slowly over. Xu Shi half-lay on his seat, admiring the real-time images transmitted by the drone while browsing the information about Xia Wuyou.

[Name: Xia Wuyou]

[Identity: Leader of Team 3 of the Field Affairs Department of "Snake Ring"]

[Ability: Gravity manipulation (the range of action is five meters in radius)]

【Ability rating: A】

What an amazing ability... Xu Shi couldn't help but admire it.

I have to say, this kind of intuitive ability that can be released is really cool to watch, and the clean and neat combat is also very pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, Xia Wuyou had a more fascinating charm than when he was wearing ordinary clothes.

The leather combat suit and lightweight exoskeleton mecha are a perfect match. The mask covering her lower face and the alloy blade at her waist also make her look like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.

Sure enough, tights are the best.

And asking her to intercept the deserters alone was naturally a test for Xu Shi.

This arrangement was not made out of concern, but more to accelerate her depravity.

"Indeed, I have to consider whether to re-evaluate her abilities when I return."

Su Lin beside him also did not hide her affirmation.

Although she didn't have a good impression of her, she still recognized Xia Wuyou's abilities - since joining the "Snake Ring", she had never failed in any mission she took on, no matter what level.

"Speaking of which, if you, Su Lin, were to fight her, what are your chances of winning?"

After the dust settled, Xu Shi was in a good mood. He turned off the panel and asked casually.

"…It's hard to say. After all, I've never fought against her, and the emphasis of her abilities is also different."

After thinking for a moment, Su Lin gave her answer, "But if she dares to do anything bad to you, I am confident that I will slit her throat at the first opportunity."

"Oh." Xu Shi seemed to be thinking about something.

The superpowers do have their own merits, and the relationship between them is like a tangled mess.

Xia Wuyou is a vanguard, who starts killing people indiscriminately once his territory is opened; Su Lin is more of an assassin, who appears and disappears at will and is hard to guard against.

This is not just one type of soldier...and external factors must also be considered.

From my personal experience, combat terrain and the like... even if it is SS level, it does not mean it is absolutely invincible.

Even without considering the problem of complications, a large number of "upgraded people" have died from high-tech over the years.

In Xu Shi's view, there is a complementary relationship between superpowers and technology.

The best way is to do both things well.

He also didn't have the heart to tell Su Lin the truth - in the original novel, she died at the hands of Xia Wuyou in the end... So who do you think is more powerful?

But now, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

And more importantly...

"Someone is going to be unable to sleep."

Xu Shi was very clear that this failure not only hit Shen He and "Xinghuo", but also the partners behind them.

Night City and Sin City seem to be in opposition, but there is actually a lot of collusion between them in secret.

In order to expand their power, the gangs in Sin City often seek to rely on financial groups, and the financial groups are happy to support them to do the dirty work that they are not convenient to do personally.

"Spark" did not remain immune. Shen He's choice was "Shark Tooth", a military-industrial enterprise similar to "Snake Ring" among the six major conglomerates.

"Shark Tooth" was unwilling to remain the runner-up forever, so it tried to break the technological blockade in this way.

It just so happened that "Starfire" also had a similar intention, and the two sides hit it off and reached a deal - "Shark Tooth" provided the money, "Starfire" provided the labor, and the two sides split the profits 50-50 after the deal was done.

In the original novel, "Shark Tooth" gradually caught up with "Snake Ring" through such cooperation, and finally took advantage of the opportunity and successfully took the lead.

So this actually killed two birds with one stone - while crushing the "Spark" plan, it also caused "Sharktooth" to lose a large amount of weapons and equipment.

This was enough to silence them for a short while.

And whether their fragile alliance can be maintained is also a question... Maybe people's heads will be beaten to pieces.

Trying to get the skin of a tiger but failing to do so is a dangerous thing.

Not to mention the other gangs in Sin City - they don't want to see the rapid growth of "Starfire", so they will inevitably take this opportunity to cause trouble.

"Notify everyone to hang these people's bodies in the most conspicuous place in Sin City. Let them see clearly what happens if they go against the Snake Ring."

Thinking of this, he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. "By the way, let's say hello to the TV station and make sure to make a big news."

It's so pleasurable to watch other people fight each other.

"Yes... hmm?"

Su Lin responded, but then frowned, "Only 138 enemies were killed? I remember that the number scanned by the drone was 140..."

"Shhh."

Xu Shi smiled and gestured for silence, "Just pretend you didn't notice."

It wouldn't hurt him to let one or two people go, but someone had to tell Shen He what exactly happened here.

For example, why did they fail, and at whose hands did Chen Fang die...

He could never be completely at ease unless he completely cut off Xia Wuyou's retreat.

Oh, it’s so tiring to be a villain.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 10: I am so angry and cold. When will the baby boy be able to stand up?

Without the obstruction of "Spark", the escort team successfully arrived at its destination - the "Prism" Industrial Park in District 14.

"Prism".

This company, like Snake Ring, is one of the six major conglomerates and has a firm control over the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

For example, the blocker that Xu Shi had previously taken was their product.

"Hey? Director Xu, are you here in person?"

The person in charge of handing over to them was a petite woman in a white formal dress. Her big round-frame glasses and fluffy curly hair made her look cute and lively.

Ye Shanshan is the personal secretary and bodyguard of the chairman of the Prism Group.

Although he looked a little eccentric, Xu Shi knew very well that beneath the deceptive appearance, the other party's abilities were quite outstanding.

Even in terms of supernatural powers, she is not inferior to Su Lin.

"Is Secretary Ye surprised?"

He politely shook the other person's fingertips and said, "After all, this batch of goods is worth a lot. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it."

"...Well, Director Xu is really thoughtful."

Ye Shanshan was startled when she heard this, and was obviously really surprised. "I will arrange for someone to count it now, and the balance will be remitted after confirmation. Please wait a moment."

The waiting process was a bit long. After all, as Xu Shi said, this was a big order.

The total value of the four vehicles' weapons and equipment is a full 50 million credit points.

It is conceivable how serious the consequences would be if these things were really taken away by "Starfire".

Monetary compensation is a small matter. What’s more important is that in the original book, the robbery of the goods caused the originally close relationship between the two groups to gradually break down, and eventually completely fall apart.

The tiny butterfly flapped its wings and eventually created a hurricane that destroyed the world.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi even felt a little lucky to have survived the disaster.

"Speaking of which, isn't your Director Xie here?"

After calming down silently, Xu Shi started chatting with Ye Shanshan in the lounge. "I heard from Su Lin that she had to be present in person for the delivery of goods in the past."

"That's right, but Mr. Xie has a very important meeting today and can't get away."

Ye Shanshan clasped her hands together apologetically, "Now it's my turn... I hope Mr. Xu will understand."

However, before Xu Shi could say anything else, she suddenly blinked and put on a sly smile.

"Of course, it's also possible that Director Xie guessed that you would come, so he deliberately didn't want to see you, right?"

This is ironic.

"Is this how Prism treats its partners, Secretary Ye?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Lin's face instantly turned cold.

She couldn't stand others treating the young master with such contempt, especially in front of him!

Xu Shi's reaction was rather calm, indicating that she need not worry.

After all, it was not the first day that he knew the attitude of this girl with glasses and her master towards him.

The cooperation between "Snake Ring" and "Prism" has probably existed for nearly a hundred years, and can be traced back to Xu Shi's great-grandfather.

This is mainly due to the complementary nature of the two companies - "Snake Ring" needs the other party's scientific research results in the biological field to enhance its military industrial strength; and many of the precision instruments required by "Prism" can only be manufactured by "Snake Ring".

This also makes their relationship always very good, just like the "refraction" and "Tianhe" back then.

By the time of Xu Shi’s parents’ generation, the honeymoon period had reached its peak.

So, how can we make such a relationship more solid?

Marriage.

As early as when Xu Shi was just born, his father Xu Cheng had already arranged a marriage for him.

The woman is the current leader of "Prism", Xie Qingyan.

Interestingly, his fiancée is also a villain in the original novel.

Unlike his original self who was a brainless playboy, Xie Qingyan's cunning and ruthlessness had left a deep impression on Xu Shi when he read the book.

Xu Shi’s memory of the plot only stayed at the time when his original body was destroyed - at that time, the "Snake Ring" had reached its end, but Xie Qingyan and her "Prism" still dominated the Night City.

Under her design, Shen He and "Xinghuo" were forced into desperate situations more than once.

There was no ambiguous relationship between her and Shen He, so readers jokingly called her "the only woman in the book who focuses on her career."

Compared with such a big villain, it would be an exaggeration to say that the original body was a small boss. It was more like a minion.

I am so angry and cold. When will my baby boy be able to stand up? !
