Chapter 291: It Was Me

【Audience Expectation +6】

【Current Expectation: 53%】

Two lines of characters floated up from the fluttering banknotes. Chen Ling looked down at the chaotic Century Avenue below, seemingly waiting for an answer.

After leaving the Wisteria Cafe, Chen Ling headed straight for the tower. Along the way, he learned most of what was happening in Aurora City, and when he saw Han Meng and Zhao Yi appearing here at the same time, he was incredibly surprised.

Especially Zhao Yi; he had thought Zhao Yi was dead back at the Aurora Base... But Zhao Yi was not only alive now, he also possessed extraordinary power.

Chen Ling would not show mercy to the All-Stars Chamber of Commerce. On one hand, he despised those who made money off human lives, and on the other, he was already an enemy of the All-Stars Chamber of Commerce. He had destroyed their lair last time, and now that Yan Shang had delivered himself to his doorstep, he naturally had to cut the weeds and pull the roots.

Therefore, when he discovered that Yan Shang and the others were preparing to escape in secret, he took action immediately to intercept them.

"HE... [Heart 6]?!"

Seeing the fluttering cards and that familiar face, the pupils of the members of the three chambers contracted sharply!

"How is this possible? Didn't [Heart 6] die when he entered the city?" the Cold Moon president said in disbelief.

"He didn't actually die? Was the self-immolation on the train just a diversion??"

"Very likely. After all, no matter how crazy the Twilight Society people are, they wouldn't commit suicide in public, right?"

"Then has he been hiding in Aurora City all this time? What exactly does he want to do?"

"Damn it, one Spade leaves, and now a Heart comes... Why are all the Twilight Society people gathering here?"

When he saw the money he had earned turn into bags of coal in the blink of an eye, Yan Shang's eyes turned red. He stared fixedly at the figure on the tower, his breathing heavy!

Setting aside whether he could get the money back, he knew that leaving here safely today wouldn't be easy...

And unfortunately, the three people who were supposed to be guarding him were all gone.

Yan Shang's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. He grabbed the gray bead necklace around his neck with one hand, pinched a section with two fingers, and crushed it with force!

……

Meanwhile,

In an empty building two streets away.

The squinting man held a long scythe, crimson blood dripping continuously from its tip, staining the floor into a pool of blood, which was instantly frozen into ice. He frowned and kept moving forward, as if looking for something.

Bang!

With a soft sound, the gray bead in the pocket of the squinting man, who was chasing Jian Changsheng, suddenly exploded!

His expression changed drastically. He stopped immediately and pulled a wisp of gray bead debris from his pocket...

"The President is in danger?"

The squinting man looked in the direction the gray bead debris was drifting, which was exactly the direction of Century Avenue.

Tapping footsteps came from the stairs. Yuzi, holding a dagger, walked up to this floor with a gloomy expression. After looking around, she looked at the squinting man with a grave expression.

"Nothing on this floor either?"

"Nothing... He escaped again, like a loach."

"Then forget about him for now, the President's situation is more important."

Hearing this, the squinting man gritted his teeth in anger. Under his feet was a trail of blood. Based on the amount of blood loss, any human should have been dead by now... But this trail of blood covered almost the entire floor, and even the street outside!

"Damn it... I was so close to catching him." The squinting man gripped the handle of his scythe tightly. "I even hit four or five vital points! How can he still run so well? This guy is too damn hard to kill..."

"He's not an ordinary [Asura]. Normal [Blood Garment] skills don't have such perverted vitality."

"The two of us Tier 4s working together, and we still can't kill him?"

"Give it up, the President is more important." Yuzi said coldly. "If you hadn't insisted on chasing him, the President wouldn't be short of manpower..."

"That shouldn't be right. Isn't Lifu there? In the current Aurora City, no one should be able to touch the President."

Leng Yu shook his head, finally giving up the idea of continuing the chase, and rushed toward Century Avenue with Yuzi!

Almost simultaneously.

A drop of blood slowly seeped through the ceiling and dripped onto the frozen pool of blood.

In the crawl space above the ceiling, a figure covered in blood, on the verge of death, finally let out a long sigh of relief...

"Survived..."

"But, they were so close to catching me... Why did they leave at this time?"

Jian Changsheng seemed to realize something, a faint light flickering in his eyes. After recovering some strength, he gritted his teeth, stood up with difficulty, and stumbled toward the rooftop.

"Did that guy really come?"

The moment Jian Changsheng stepped onto the rooftop, he saw the fluttering [Heart 6] cards in the sky above the distant street, and the figure sitting high beneath the kite, his pupils contracting sharply.

He stood alone on the rooftop, staring blankly at the figure for a long time, then laughed bitterly:

"Damn it..."

"Why are you cooler than me again??"

……

Century Avenue.

As Yan Shang crushed the bead, his expression finally calmed down a bit, but the next moment, that figure landed lightly in front of him.

"I'm asking you a question... Can't you hear me?" Chen Ling said calmly.

Seeing [Heart 6] suddenly appear in front of them, the Silver Moon and Cold Spring presidents were startled and retreated in terror. The subordinates responsible for protecting them immediately rushed forward, pulled out guns from their pockets, and fired continuously at the figure!

Bang bang bang bang—!

Chen Ling swayed, easily dodging all the bullets. A short blade fell into his palm, and with just a light step forward, his figure flashed past everyone like a phantom.

He stood in front of Yan Shang, looking at him coldly:

"Where is [Spade 6]?"

Pfft!

The next moment, blood burst from all the subordinates he had passed, and they fell straight to the ground.

Yan Shang swallowed, his face pale:

"He left..."

Chen Ling nodded. "Oh."

Seeing that Chen Ling didn't intend to continue questioning, Yan Shang asked blankly, "You... aren't you going to ask where he went?"

"What does it have to do with me where he went? As long as he doesn't die here." Chen Ling's mouth curled into a faint smile. "Compared to him, I'm more concerned about your life... If you don't die, I won't be able to rest easy from now on..."

Yan Shang was stunned. He seemed to read a different meaning from Chen Ling's smile...

"You, what do you mean?"

"Ah~ you don't know?" Chen Ling spread his hands. He leaned slowly toward Yan Shang's ear and whispered with a chuckle, "I destroyed your lair, I killed your son, and I exposed your secrets... Surprised?"

Yan Shang's pupils contracted sharply!

"You... It was you???"

"There's one more thing, you should be interested in seeing it..."

Chen Ling put his hand into his pocket, and when he pulled it out again, there was a red ring on his fingertip... It was the one he had taken from Yan Xicai's body at the Ancient Military Treasury.

The moment he saw this ring, there was no blood left on Yan Shang's face. He stumbled backward, his eyes filled with terror and anger as he looked at Chen Ling!

"You killed Xicai too?! It was all you?!!"

"It was me, it was me! It was all me..." Chen Ling slowly thrust the hand wearing the ring into a nearby corpse, and the corpse withered visibly.

The smile on Chen Ling's face remained bright.

"And..."

"The one who kills you, will also be me."
