Chapter 18 A Monster

The muscular man felt a chill in his eyes as he looked at Bai Xi. He was a mercenary, having risen through the ranks through sheer grit. How could he be intimidated by a young girl?

Anger flared, and malice surfaced. His face flushed as he said, "You're looking for death!"

With that, he dropped his handgun, clenched his fists, and pulled his arms back. His massive muscles strained, tearing the buttons on his shirt.

He paid it no mind, swinging his sandbag-sized fists. With a powerful thrust, he unleashed blows from both sides, aiming to smash Bai Xi's head.

There was no doubt that if these fists connected directly, they would instantly end the recipient's life.

Bai Xi, however, remained motionless, standing her ground.

The man in the black suit sneered at Bai Xi, "Is this woman scared silly by our boss's muscles? She's not even dodging. You know our boss's fists are strong enough to kill a tiger!"

Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman inside the villa who had spoken up for Bai Xi cried out in alarm, "Eldest Miss!"

The muscular man's fists swung forward without hesitation. Just as he expected to see Bai Xi's blood splatter, his own two fists collided.

Bai Xi, in a flash, had moved to the side, her expression cold. "Those who only know how to use brute force can only be called... primitives!"

With that, her black Martin boots kicked sharply upwards, striking the muscular man's face and sending him flying more than ten meters away.

Everyone present was stunned.

Considering the muscular man's imposing physique and solid build, weighing at least two hundred thirty pounds, Bai Xi's seemingly effortless kick sending him so far was a testament to her power!

The muscular man struggled to rise, spitting out two knocked-out front teeth. Clutching his face, which had been kicked into a grotesque shape, he stared at Bai Xi in terror, as if she were a monster.

Bai Xi stated calmly, "Nothing more than this."

Her words ignited the muscular man's fear into rage.

So what if she was a monster? He had weapons!

He refused to believe that a woman's head could be harder than a bullet. "Kill her!"

With that command, the black-suited men, who had been shocked by Bai Xi's might, snapped back to reality. They drew their weapons and surrounded Bai Xi.

But the moment they took a step, countless electric nets surged towards them, enveloping everyone. The crackling sound of electricity filled the air, accompanied by screams and the smell of burning flesh.

Not far away, numerous men in black combat attire arrived. The leaders among them held electric net guns. Upon seeing Bai Xi, they immediately lowered their weapons and knelt on one knee before her, "Eldest Miss, we are late!"

Bai Xi merely nodded slightly. "Rise."

The men in black then stood up.

Bai Xi's beautiful eyes swept over them as she walked, her Martin boots clicking, towards the muscular man she had sent flying.

The muscular man trembled all over with fear.

Such specialized electric net guns were not possessed by ordinary people; they belonged to military organizations. He clearly saw the insignia on the electric net gun in one of the men's hands.

Shadow Division!

These were all people from the Shadow Division!

Their profound respect for Bai Xi indicated that her status within the Shadow Division was not low, likely at the level of a commander. He, a mere mercenary from elsewhere, dared to clash with the Shadow Division.

Zhao Minghan had truly led him to his doom!

At this moment, he could no longer care about his pride or dignity as a man. "Eldest Miss, I was blind and foolish. Please, give me a chance to atone. It was Zhao Minghan. Zhao Minghan hired me to ambush you, and he said this villa was very important to you, threatening to blow it up if you didn't come..."

The muscular man, driven by fear, was speaking incoherently, but his core message was clear: he was just a hired thug who took money to do a job. If anyone wanted revenge, they should go after Zhao Minghan.

Bai Xi asked calmly, "Where is he now?"

The muscular man replied without hesitation, "In the suburbs. There's a Zhao family resort there. He's recuperating from an injury. If Eldest Miss wants to go, I'll take you there right now. If Eldest Miss wishes, I'll take you there now and can help you get revenge."

Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and cast a faint glance at him. "Though even ants cherish their lives, I truly dislike people who stab you in the back!"

The casual statement made the muscular man flinch violently. "M-M-Miss, please. Even if you can't spare my life, please don't hand me over to the Shadow Division. Give me a quick end!"

What was the Shadow Division?

It was a place that devoured people without spitting out bones.

Anyone captured by the Shadow Division, even wishing for death, was a luxury.

Bai Xi didn't even bother to raise her eyes. "You're thinking too much. You're not qualified to join the Shadow Division."

Upon hearing this, the muscular man was overjoyed. His triangular eyes, paired with his swollen face, looked rather comical. "Thank you, thank you, Eldest Miss, for your mercy. Thank you, Eldest Miss..."

Bai Xi casually glanced at her subordinates. "These people, regardless of whether they live or die, drag them away."

The woman tenderly stretched out her small hand and lightly hit Zhao Minghan's chest, moaning, "Mmm, you're so annoying!"

As their interaction progressed, their voices became increasingly suggestive.

Zhao Minghan looked at the woman before him, who bore a slight resemblance to Bai Xi, and felt a surge of impulse. "As a woman, your only purpose is to serve men well. Why act so arrogant? Watch me deal with you!"

With that, his actions seemed intended to kill. A woman's pained cry came from beneath him, "Mr. Zhao, it hurts so much! You can't do this, people will die!"

Zhao Minghan ignored her, as if he truly wanted her to die.

Just then, the villa's alarm suddenly blared, startling Zhao Minghan, who was mid-action, making him almost choke. "What's going on!"

Moments later, two men in black suits rushed over, their faces etched with a trace of panic. "Mr. Zhao, someone has forcibly breached the resort's defense system!"

Zhao Minghan exclaimed in alarm, "Who dares to be so audacious!"

A clear, calm voice called out, "I do!"
