Su Xiao's almond-shaped eyes widened. She walked over to Qin Heng, took a deep breath, and said, "Qin Heng, what's the deal with your cellphone?"

Even though he had saved her the night before, they were in class and in the middle of an exam. It was utterly excessive to openly take a phone call; it set a terrible example!

"Ms. Su, I need to step out," Qin Heng said, standing up. He paid no attention to the soon-to-be furious Su Xiao and walked out of the classroom.

The entire classroom first fell silent, then the students immediately erupted into an uproar.

"Damn! Awesome! Truly awesome! I only respect Qin Heng! He skips half a week of class, comes back for half a day, and then leaves after taking a phone call!"

"So awesome! We all went to high school after the same nine years of compulsory education. Why can he be so outstanding, while I, despite my good looks, cannot?"

Su Xiao stared at the doorway, her teeth tightly clenched. Qin Heng, you just wait! Later, I'll make you do exam papers one set after another. If you don't, I'll go to your house and watch you do them!

After leaving the classroom, Qin Heng answered the call. A panicked, frail female voice, laced with sobs, came through the phone.

"President Qin, you finally answered! I'm Little Bai, the receptionist from the Yue Feng Clubhouse. Please, I beg you, save President Chen! A monk has come to Yue Feng, saying he wants to beat you to death...

Since he couldn't find you, he started attacking everyone. Nearly everyone in the company has been badly injured! Even the three Open Force masters from Baiyu Jing were taken down with a single punch each and can't get up…

And-and he's taken President Chen hostage! He told us to call you, saying if you don't come, he's going to tear President Chen apart with his bare hands! Please, I beg you, President Qin! Hurry and save President Chen! Please..."

"Little Bai!" Chen Qingzhu's voice suddenly came from the other end. She shouted, "Little Bai! Who told you to call President Qin?! Hang up immediately! President Qin, don't come! Whatever you do... MPH! MPH!"

"President Qin! Hurry over!" Little Bai cried, desperately covering Chen Qingzhu's mouth. "President Qin, I know your martial arts are powerful! Please, I beg you, come save us! Please!"

THUD!

Suddenly, a sickening thud echoed from the other side of the line. It sounded like someone had been thrown heavily to the ground.

"AH!" Another scream tore through the line—utterly agonizing! It was accompanied by the distinct sound of breaking bones.

It sounded like the girl who had just been on the phone—Little Bai.

"Hello?" A deep, resonant man's voice came through the phone. "You must be Qin Heng. I am Xuanwang, senior brother to Black Monk, from the Golden Buddha Temple. I've come to the Yue Feng Clubhouse to kill you."

"Ant!" Qin Heng's eyes glinted coldly, overflowing with murderous intent. He said in a low voice, "Kill yourself. Otherwise, you will regret it. Death would be your best outcome."

"Hahaha! Interesting. A mere Hidden Force cultivator, yet so arrogant," Xuanwang laughed heartily, not taking Qin Heng seriously in the slightest. "Come then. I'm waiting for you here.

But you only have thirty minutes. Once that time is up, for every minute you're late, I'll kill one person here. This is your punishment for making me kill my own junior brother!"

The call was abruptly disconnected.

He hadn't given Qin Heng a chance to speak. Or rather, this Xuanwang simply hadn't deigned to listen.

Qin Heng put away his phone. His eyes narrowed, killing intent surging from him. His expression was as dark and cold as ancient ice.

Rage! This was the first time he had felt such rage since his rebirth. It had been too long. Far too long since anyone had made him this furious.

In his previous life, he was alone. Who would have dared to provoke him? A single slap was all it took to end them!

But now, in this life, someone dared to so brazenly harm those close to him!

This was utterly unbridled! Arrogance to the extreme! They didn't take Qin Heng seriously at all, seeing him as nothing more than an ant they could crush at any moment!

"Good! Good! Very good! Golden Buddha Temple!" Qin Heng snarled, his fists clenched, rage boiling within him. He slammed a punch into the adjacent wall.

BOOM! With a deafening crash, the brick wall he struck instantly crumbled!

Then, with a single leap, he launched himself out of the school and sprinted towards the Yue Feng Clubhouse.

He was incredibly fast and would reach the Yue Feng Clubhouse within ten minutes.

「Yue Feng Clubhouse.」

The once-luxurious office building was now smeared with blood.

In the first-floor lobby, several security guards lay scattered, screaming in agony. Their bodies were covered in blood, and they were barely clinging to life.

Another twenty or thirty male employees were also sprawled on the ground, their limbs fractured from the beating, wailing incessantly.

It was horrifying—a scene like hell on earth.

A young woman lay slumped over the reception desk, her arm fractured and twisted at an unnatural angle. She had passed out from the sheer pain.

If she didn't get medical attention soon, her arm might be permanently crippled.

The young woman had a lovely face and was very young, only in her early twenties. She had just graduated from university this year and had come to work as a receptionist at the Yue Feng Clubhouse.

Unexpectedly, she had met with such an unprovoked disaster.

"Why?! Why?!" Chen Qingzhu, who had been thrown to the ground, leaned against the wall, blood trickling from her forehead. She stared furiously at Xuanwang, who stood amidst the carnage, and screamed hoarsely, "Why did you hurt Little Bai?! She's just a child!"

In modern society, a young woman fresh out of university could indeed still be considered a child in some ways.

"A child?" Xuanwang shook his head. "She is no longer a child. She has grown and can feel the pain of the sea of suffering in this mortal realm. I was enlightening her with Buddhist teachings. It is merely that she was too fragile to bear it. Truly unfortunate."

"You! You! You monster! Wearing a monk's robe, yet as cruel as a Demon!" Chen Qingzhu cried, full of despair. "Kill me then! Kill me! President Qin won't come! You won't get your way!"

"No, he will certainly come," Xuanwang said, shaking his head with a smile. "I will wait for him right here. Then, I'll tear off his limbs with my own hands, gouge out his innards, and finally, take his head, purging him completely!"

"Demon! Demon!" Chen Qingzhu trembled with rage, her frail form huddled in the corner. She began to weep, overcome by pain and despair. Even as a capable woman, she was powerless in this situation.

Women are such a nuisance! Xuanwang frowned. He despised women, normally not even wanting to touch them. Kicking Chen Qingzhu had made him extremely uncomfortable.

DING-DONG!

Suddenly, the automatic doors to the Yue Feng Clubhouse lobby slid open.

A young man and a young woman walked in. It was Su Mingli and Su Yiyi from the Su Martial Arts Center.

Upon seeing the lobby filled with moaning people on the ground and blood splattered everywhere, they were immediately horrified.

At the same time, they spotted Xuanwang standing to one side and Chen Qingzhu slumped against the wall.

A Martial Artist? Xuanwang's gaze fell on Su Mingli. His eyes widened, a glint flashing within them. In an instant, his figure blurred, and he reappeared directly in front of Su Mingli. He snorted coldly. "More of Qin Heng's helpers? Ants will be ants; they always like to swarm together.

However, I won't let him have his way. Qin Heng! I will torture you, kill you! No one else will interfere. Die!"

BOOM! The monk raised his fist, Internal Force erupting like a storm as he struck out at Su Mingli.
