220: A final warning from the Lawrence family

The message from the Lawrence Family was machine-translated and displayed on the computer screen.

The message content was as follows:

“Mr. Tian Ming, please release Lisa immediately. Otherwise, the Lawrence Family will consider using all means to rescue her. As long as you release the hostage, the Lawrence Family will no longer pursue previous matters, and all previous losses will be written off. This is the final warning. We hope Mr. Tian Ming will consider it carefully.”

Tian Ming frowned after reading the message. He looked at Shen Yuan: “It seems the Lawrence Family is determined.”

Shen Yuan snorted coldly: “Boss, they don’t seem to be joking. I’m afraid they might abandon Lisa and directly use firepower to cover our Shelter.”

Tian Ming rubbed his temples and said: “I know. Even if I agree now, there’s nothing I can do. Xin Xin’s mental control isn’t that simple to lift. If they really use firepower to cover, that would undoubtedly be an act of war. For this, I don’t think the alliance will stand idly by.”

Shen Yuan fell silent after hearing this. She also knew that once war broke out, the members of the Shelter would suffer the most. She looked at Tian Ming and asked softly: “Now that they refuse to compromise, if we kill her, they will be even more reckless.”

Tian Ming pondered for a moment and said: “Don’t panic. Since the other party said so, it precisely indicates that Lisa is very important to them. Currently, all that’s missing is a spark.”

As Tian Ming spoke, he stood up.

“Where are you going?” Shen Yuan quickly asked.

“I’m flying to the alliance to find Ouyang Jie. For this kind of thing, let’s see if the alliance can step in and negotiate with them. Those advanced technologies can be shared with the alliance.”

Shen Yuan, however, frowned and said: “Boss, you’ve been acting unconventionally from beginning to end in this matter. It’s one thing for the alliance to tacitly allow you to do this, but it might be difficult for them to actually step in and help you.”

“Let’s try. We haven’t even talked yet, how do we know it won’t work?”

A confident smile appeared at the corner of Tian Ming’s mouth. This matter would harm the Lawrence Family and benefit himself and the alliance. The alliance might not refuse. Although it might not be morally justifiable, in the Apocalypse, who still cares about morality or not?

Those Westerners have always liked double standards. If it weren’t for their fear of Tian Ming’s strength and the retaliation of Tian Ming and the alliance, they probably would have already carpet-bombed the place.

“Boss, you go. I’ll guard the home. Be careful.” Shen Yuan instructed.

Tian Ming nodded, indicating understanding. He turned and walked out of the office door, preparing to set off for the alliance’s Dongshan Base. As soon as Tian Ming stepped out, Lisa followed him.

She didn’t say a word, following him all the way to Tian Ming’s residence. On the rooftop, there was a flying vehicle.

Tian Ming glanced at Lisa and said: “Change into a set of clothes and come with me to the alliance’s Dongshan Base.”

Lisa was stunned. She hadn’t expected Tian Ming to suddenly ask her to go to the alliance with him. She looked at Tian Ming with some confusion, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her in a daze, Tian Ming walked directly over, extended his hand, and placed it on Lisa’s shoulder. Instantly, Lisa’s clothes changed, transforming into a combat protective suit.

Lisa was startled by Tian Ming’s action and instinctively took a step back, until she noticed that her clothes had already become a combat protective suit. With her excellent figure, she appeared even more curvaceous in the form-fitting protective suit.

The woman’s face flushed, and her heart pounded incessantly.

“Get in the car, don’t just stand there.” Tian Ming had no mind to admire. Having just been threatened by the Lawrence Family, he naturally had no good tone towards Lisa.

Lisa quickly nodded and followed Tian Ming’s steps. The two got into the flying vehicle, which drew a graceful arc across the sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

In the flying vehicle, Lisa sat silently to the side, occasionally stealing glances at Tian Ming. The emotions in her heart were complex and subtle. Now she understood why Tian Ming feared nothing; this guy could control all elements. All derived Superpowers were maxed out for Tian Ming.

A hexagonal warrior naturally wouldn’t fear anything.

“You, why are you taking me to the alliance?” Lisa couldn’t help but ask.

Tian Ming sneered: “What else? To discuss with the alliance how to deal with your family.”

Lisa fell silent after hearing this. She lowered her head and said: “If you release my mental control, I can agree to all your conditions. I am the only Superpower User in the family, and I have absorbed two Red Crystal Cores. I can now control seven elements. The future successor of the Lawrence Family is me.”

Tian Ming was startled, his eyes narrowed, and he asked: “You are the family’s successor?”

Lisa nodded. She felt some regret in her heart. But now she couldn’t control herself. Being by this man’s side, she had an uncontrollable good feeling, even unable to lie. This mental control was too strong, terrifyingly strong, making her infatuated.

“Then I can even less let you go. What I’m afraid of is your Lawrence Family using firepower to cover my Shelter. Now, with you here, I’m not afraid anymore. The future of your family is in my hands, haha!” Tian Ming burst into laughter.

Lisa looked at him, the feeling in her heart becoming even more complex. She fell silent. She knew that she was now a trump card in Tian Ming’s hands. Her identity and abilities had become Tian Ming’s bargaining chips against the Lawrence Family.

Soon, the flying vehicle flew over a deserted town. Tian Ming flew in a straight line in the sky. This town was located midway between the Shelter and the Dongshan Base.

As soon as they reached this location, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Countless tiny metal fragments, like locusts, covered Tian Ming’s flying vehicle.

Those metal fragments were like projectiles, rapidly disintegrating as they entered Tian Ming’s control range, but there were too many of them. Tian Ming directly gave up suppressing Lisa’s Superpower. In his state of concentrated focus, an invisible barrier quickly formed around the flying vehicle.

Tian Ming controlled the flying vehicle, and its altitude instantly dropped. The metal fragments attacking them were not man-made, so the only thing attacking his flying vehicle could be zombies. If they could hit from such a height, there was an eighty percent chance it was a Corpse King.

Corpse Kings produce Red Crystal Cores; it’s a waste not to take them, and it won’t take much time.

Tian Ming thought to himself, while also focusing more on controlling the flying vehicle’s descent. Although there were dense metal fragments, they couldn’t harm Tian Ming at all. The zombie horde below was getting closer, and Tian Ming could already see the hideous faces and eerie eyes of those zombies.

“Hold on tight!” Tian Ming instructed, and Lisa immediately gripped the handrail inside the flying vehicle.

The flying vehicle instantly slammed down towards the zombie horde, the surrounding air compressing extremely and then instantly releasing.

Boom!

A circular shockwave quickly formed, sending all the pouncing zombies flying. The overload generated by such violent acceleration made even a Superpower User like Lisa feel her blood pressure surge significantly.
