130: My sense of danger is off the charts; that boy in white is definitely going to die!
The atmosphere at the port froze to the freezing point in an instant.
Wang Qiang felt as if his throat were being tightly gripped by an invisible, massive hand; even breathing became a luxury.
He wanted to raise his gun, wanted to retreat, even wanted to beg for mercy, but his body wouldn't obey him at all. He could only stand frozen in place like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, cold sweat cascading down his forehead like a waterfall, instantly soaking his back.
The dark red rune in Lu Sheng's palm grew brighter and brighter, and that aura that seemed to devour everything made the surrounding light dim a few degrees.
Just at the moment Lu Sheng was preparing to clear the scene.
"A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!!"
A panicked voice suddenly erupted from behind the motorcade.
Immediately after, a middle-aged, elegant-looking man wearing a grey Zhongshan suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of Wang Qiang like a ghost.
He didn't care about decorum at all; he grabbed Wang Qiang's shoulder, as if trying to press him into the ground, while simultaneously bowing deeply to Lu Sheng and Chen Yan, his waist bent at a ninety-degree angle.
"I am Li Han, Vice President of the Lingyuan Association! My subordinate is ignorant and has offended you officers. A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Li Han was all smiles, but the smile was as stiff as if it had been painted on.
A layer of fine cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and behind his lenses, his long, narrow eyes hid a very deep, perhaps even terrified, look.
While apologizing, he kept a tight grip on the struggling Wang Qiang, using enough force to almost crush Wang Qiang's shoulder blade.
"Since you are Commander Zhang's Senior Brother, then you are our own people! This is a case of the flood waters hitting the Dragon King's temple—a misunderstanding!" Li Han spoke extremely fast, as if fearing that being a second late would lead to something terrifying. "Supplies are free! The mountain entry fee is free! We will leave right now and will absolutely not disturb your reunion!"
Although Wang Qiang was restrained, his brain clearly hadn't caught up yet.
He stared blankly at his usually gentle and elegant Vice President, who remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, and couldn't help but shout: "Vice President! What are you doing? Our association has three Level 6 Spirit Source Users; are we afraid of these outsiders? That's supplies for tens of thousands of people! If we go back like this, how will we explain it to the President..."
"Slap!" A crisp sound of a slap echoed through the port.
Li Han backhanded him, striking Wang Qiang's face hard enough to send the sturdy man spinning in place. Half his face swelled up instantly, and two of his teeth even flew out.
"Shut up!!" Li Han snarled, his voice filled with trembling urgency, his eyes looking as fierce as if he wanted to eat someone. "Can't you see they are catching up? Say one more word, and I'll cripple you right now!"
Wang Qiang clutched his face, completely stunned. He had never seen the Vice President lose his composure like this.
After delivering the slap, Li Han didn't dare to look into Lu Sheng's eyes at all. He merely cupped his hands again, his posture humble to the point of being in the dust: "Officers, I will certainly come to apologize in person another day! Farewell!"
The group of subordinates Wang Qiang brought, seeing this scene, looked confused: "Vice President..."
Li Han roared at the group of subordinates who were still dazed: "Vice President my foot! Do you have any common sense? Can't you see they are catching up? Why aren't you driving! Go!"
After saying this, he didn't wait for a response and dragged Wang Qiang away like a dead dog.
Although the Spirit Source Users of the association didn't understand why, seeing the Vice President looking as if he had seen a ghost, they didn't dare to ask more questions and scrambled into the cars.
"Boom!!" The off-road vehicle engines roared, turned around, and rushed out of the port faster than they had arrived, as if fleeing for their lives. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared at the end of the mountain road, leaving only a mess of dust behind.
Watching this scene, Zhang Yi was stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses.
"This..." Zhang Yi scratched his head, looking both relieved and puzzled. "This Li Han is usually like a smiling tiger, very insidious. How did he change his nature today? Why is he so easy to talk to?"
He turned to Chen Yan and explained: "Senior Brother, I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
"The Lingyuan Association is the largest local non-governmental force. The President is a mysterious Level 6 Expert, and this Li Han is the Vice President, also a Level 6. Although his combat power is average, it is said that his ability is very special."
"They control most of the resources in Hanwu City; even I have to give them some leeway. If you weren't here this time, I'm afraid these supplies would have had to be handed over."
Chen Yan frowned, looking in the direction where the motorcade had disappeared: "The situation at Shuangjian Peak is even more complex than I imagined. Not uniting at a time like this and messing around with some association—they are bound to be finished sooner or later."
Lu Sheng retracted the step he had taken, and the red glow in his palm slowly dissipated.
He put his hands back into his pockets, the corners of his mouth curling into an amused arc.
"That Vice President is a bit interesting," Lu Sheng said calmly, "He seems to have... seen something."
Meanwhile, inside the off-road vehicle speeding along the mountain road.
Wang Qiang clutched his swollen cheek, his mouth full of the taste of blood.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and finally, he couldn't help but explode: "Vice President! What exactly is wrong with you? When have we ever suffered such indignity?"
"Even if that pretty boy has some skills, we have so many people, and you're here—what the hell are we afraid of! If this gets out, where will our association's face be left?"
"Screech—!!!" A piercing sound of brakes rang out. Li Han slammed on the brakes, and the off-road vehicle came to a stop just at the edge of the cliff.
He gasped for air, his whole body looking as if he had just been fished out of the water, soaked through with cold sweat.
His hands trembled as he tried to fish a cigarette from his pocket, but he couldn't even hold the lighter steady, and it fell onto the floor mat with a "clatter."
"You idiot..." Li Han turned his head, his face as pale as paper, his eyes lingering with endless fear. "I was saving your life just now! No, I was saving all of our lives!"
Wang Qiang was frightened by his appearance: "Vice... Vice President?"
"You know my sequence is 【Danger Perception】, right?" Li Han swallowed, his voice terrifyingly hoarse. "My eyes can see the aura of danger on everyone. White is safe, green is slight, blue is moderate, purple is dangerous, orange is highly dangerous, red is extremely dangerous..."
He extended a trembling finger, gesturing: "That navy general has an orange aura; he is a ruthless character who has truly been on the battlefield and killed countless people. If we fought to the death, I would have a forty percent chance of surviving."
"But..." Li Han's pupils constricted violently, as if recalling some terrifying scene, his teeth chattering. "That youth wearing the white coat... there was no light on him."
"No light?" Wang Qiang was stunned. "Isn't that white? Doesn't that mean no danger?"
"No!" Li Han grabbed Wang Qiang's collar, pulling him close, and roared, "It was pitch black! A pure, all-consuming black! That is a color countless times more terrifying than red!"
"That is... absolute death!"
Li Han let go and slumped in his seat, muttering to himself: "In his Qi, I felt like I was standing on the edge of an abyss. As long as he flicked a finger, none of us would be able to survive even a second!"
"Quick! Drive! Go back and notify the President! Hanwu City... a True God has arrived!!"
