Huizi quickly said with a smile, "Silly child, how could you not even remember your mother's appearance? If I'm not your mother, then who else could I be?"
Zhang Mo shook his head and said with a firm expression, "No, you are not my mother!"
"Oh, Huizi, you've already been seen through, why are you still pretending?" the burly mercenary said impatiently. "He's just a three or four-year-old kid. Even if you let him throw a tantrum, what can he do to you?"
"Since the soft approach isn't working, let's just go with force. Tie up this little brat and those two girls!"
"There are five of us, are we really afraid of three children?!"
Hearing his words, Huizi couldn't help but nod. It was indeed logical.
So, she stopped pretending and reverted to her original appearance: a plain-looking, thin middle-aged woman.
"Listen carefully, you little brat. Either you stay obediently in the car and don't make a sound when you meet your two sisters later!"
"This way, I can guarantee your life and the lives of your two sisters!"
"If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for using force!" Huizi threatened with a cold face.
"Hmph, you actually pretended to be my mother to trick me. You bad guys, I'm not afraid of you!"
"I will fight you to the end, just like Father fighting monsters, fighting bravely!" Zhang Mo said, waving his little fists.
"Hahaha, you're so naive and cute, 'fighting bravely'!"
"Come on, here's my face. Hit me with your little fists, let's see how you fight?" Huizi stretched out her neck, mockingly bringing her face closer.
What strength could a three or four-year-old child have? Even if he had strength, he probably wouldn't even know how to punch. And she was a high-level Transformed One; bullets didn't faze her, so why would she be afraid of a three or four-year-old's fist?
"Hey, go to hell, bad guy!"
Zhang Mo, following the techniques taught by Qingfeng, stood firm, channeling power from his legs to his waist, then to his arms. At the same time, energy began to circulate rapidly within him. He gathered all his strength and accurately landed his little fist on Huizi's face!
*Bang!*
Huizi was launched from her seat, smashing through the windshield and flying another twenty meters before crashing face-first onto the ground and stopping. Her head, unprotected, had suffered a severe blow, and she was knocked unconscious.
The pickup truck was also jolted backward by the force. The front wheel hit a piece of gravel, causing the entire vehicle to lose control. It bounced a few times on the bumpy ground before flipping over to the side. The three mercenaries in the truck bed were caught completely by surprise and were thrown out. The driver was trapped in his seat and had to kick the door open with great effort to climb out.
"Damn it, my pickup! This was my last vehicle, and I was planning to take two girls for some car fun. It's all ruined now!" The burly mercenary climbed out and lunged towards Zhang Chen, who had already jumped out of the car. His strength was at the second stage of a high-level Transformed One, making him the strongest among them.
Zhang Mo's strength was only around that of a mid-level Transformed One, a full stage difference.
"Go to hell, brat!" His beloved pickup destroyed, the burly mercenary was furious. Ignoring everything else, he drew his large saber and swung it down at Zhang Mo's head. The strike was fast and fierce, whistling through the air!
Zhang Mo, unarmed and at a disadvantage in terms of level, couldn't directly block this attack and could only dodge. The burly mercenary attacked like a madman, each blow faster and more brutal than the last. Finally, in a fit of rage, a faint blue energy appeared on his blade, and the speed of his strikes increased significantly.
Zhang Mo, relying on his small size as a child, hugged the ground, dodging left and right. *Swish!* A large rock on the ground was struck by the saber and immediately split into two clean pieces.
"Die, die for me!" The burly mercenary, having missed several strikes, was consumed by bloodlust. He suddenly kicked out with his right leg, and as Zhang Mo dodged, the saber descended.
Seeing no way to evade, Zhang Mo's mind immediately recalled the Tai Chi principle of overcoming force with softness, taught by Qingfeng. At this moment, his mind was clear. A surge of pure energy instantly flowed through his limbs. The burly mercenary felt as though his strike had landed, but it was like hitting cotton, with no resistance. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his groin as his lower body was hit with immense force, sending him face-first to the ground.
*Splat!*
After deflecting the saber's attack, Zhang Mo immediately shifted position and threw a punch according to Qingfeng's boxing techniques. If it were an adult fighting an adult, this punch would have landed on the chest. But because Zhang Mo was young and short, this punch landed directly on the burly mercenary's groin.
*Crack!* A sound of something breaking could be heard.
"You brat, I'll kill you today!" The burly mercenary, eyes bloodshot and face contorted, roared while clutching his groin.
"Don't be rash,大哥!"
"Quick, stop him!"
"大哥, this is our stake to glory and wealth. If you kill him, we'll have nothing!"
"That's right,大哥. We've already offended the black market. If we can't satisfy the Supreme Being... we're finished!" The three of them grabbed the burly mercenary, talking him down.
Although the burly mercenary still wanted to kill Zhang Mo, he was firmly held by the three of them and couldn't make a move. Furthermore, they were right; killing Zhang Mo would mean they couldn't complete their task. After a long while, the burly mercenary regained his senses. He had taken Zhang Mo's punch for nothing and couldn't retaliate. He felt incredibly stifled by this unfair blow!
Soon, Huizi also woke up. She wasn't faring much better; her left cheek was swollen high, she had lost three teeth, and from the side, she looked like a pig's head.
"You wait, little brat. Even if we don't do anything to you now!"
"But if you escape, your Father, Zhang Chen, will definitely provoke the Supreme Being!"
"Then you'll know how the Supreme Being treats the families of his enemies. They will make your lives worse than death!"
"I'll be happy to enjoy delicious food while watching you suffer!" Huizi said indistinctly.
"Huh? The car flipped over!" Suddenly, two clear voices called out. Mo Ran and Xiao Bai had appeared beside everyone at some point, peeking curiously.
"When... when did you guys get here?" The burly mercenary was startled. If this three or four-year-old child was so extraordinary, then those two girls' strength must be considerable. If a fight broke out, they were indeed not confident they could subdue them.
Huizi, seizing the opportunity when the two girls were not paying attention, immediately transformed into Katerina's appearance.
"Just arrived. Guess what we caught?" Xiao Bai said with a playful grin.
