Cornered Beast Fights Back!

Nan Yan Hotel, Third Floor, Restroom on the Other Side.

A girl stumbled out of the restroom, groggy and confused. "Huh... Why are the lights off?"

"Where did everyone go?"

"Is there a blackout?"

She walked unsteadily, her foot suddenly stepping into a puddle of liquid.

"Why is there water...?"

"And why does it smell so fishy? Ugh... I'm going to be sick..."

"Ugh!"

The girl couldn't hold it in and leaned against the wall, vomiting.

"Ugh... That jerk Li Yuan, how dare he yell at me? I was just trying to care for him... And he yelled at me. I even bought him a soda..."

"If it weren't for... if it weren't for the fact that I used to like him, I wouldn't even bother with him... Yeah... I wouldn't bother..."

She leaned against the wall, fumbling her way through the darkness.

"Alright, time to go home... Can't stay here any longer, or else... or else I'll have to pay for an overnight stay..."

"...Damn capitalists."

She walked out of the restroom and continued groping her way forward. For some reason, the fishy smell grew stronger.

"So fishy."

"And it's been so noisy since just now..."

In the darkness, several women approached with uniform weapons and stabbed toward the girl!

Thud! Thud!

Two muffled sounds came from behind her. The girl turned around in confusion, but there was nothing there.

Weird, did I just hear something?

She shook her head and kept walking. In a corner she couldn't see, two Deep Ones grabbed the necks of two worker bees and covered their mouths.

"Shh."

"The Sea King said, let her go."

The girl stumbled downstairs. A few more worker bees attacked, only to be suddenly silenced and dragged into the darkness by Deep Ones.

...

Top Floor of Nan Yan.

The Queen Bee frowned as she processed the information coming from her worker bees. "Huh? What's that fish up to? Is he playing spy games with me?"

She immediately took out her communicator and contacted the Raven.

"Hey, you stinky bird, what's 002 up to?!"

The Raven's voice came through the communicator.

"Who knows~"

"Maybe he ran into an old flame, heehee~"

Heehee?

A vein bulged on the Queen Bee's forehead. "Put 002 on the line!"

After a moment, Li Yuan's voice came through the communicator. "Let that woman go."

"What did you say?"

"If she's here, we can't let her leave. Don't you understand that?"

"My mission is to deal with Chu Yang. Evacuating the crowd was your job, but you missed one."

"And I'm handling it now!"

"I suggest you don't touch her."

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"

The Queen Bee's brow furrowed. Just then, the Raven's voice came through the communicator again.

"Old lady, getting angry gives you wrinkles~"

Old... old lady?

The Queen Bee's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Ah... ah, old lady?"

No, don't get angry...

Don't get angry...

The Queen Bee took a deep breath and reopened the communicator.

"The term 'old lady' is outdated here. Nowadays, it's more fashionable to call me an 'experienced and elegant lady.'"

"But since you're so concerned about me, why not come over? I'll tell you a little secret."

The Raven's voice came through, "Like what?"

"For example, this 'experienced and elegant lady' has been collaborating with KFC for years and has opened several branches. We're even planning to launch some new products!"

...

The Raven shrugged as she stood on the surveillance monitor inside Nan Yan Hotel.

She continued to silently act as the camerawoman.

Through this trap, the Raven had gotten a clear view of Chu Yang's abilities.

His physical abilities were indeed on par with the Deep Ones, and his reflexes were even better. He also seemed to have some martial arts skills.

He could handle one Deep One on his own.

But here, there were a full two hundred Deep Ones!

Even if Li Yuan sent twenty or so to protect that girl, Chu Yang had no chance of escaping.

"Hmm?"

Just then, a series of dense footsteps echoed in the darkness.

Countless women in uniform swarmed in!

They carried identical short knives, clearly targeting the girl.

The Raven sighed. "She's called in all the worker bees. The old lady's really going all out. She must be furious."

...

Sensing the arrival of the women, Li Yuan quickly looked at the Raven.

"001, do me a favor."

The Raven shook her head. "No can do. I'm here to record. Besides, you don't have the authority to command me—not even to ask for a favor. I only take orders from that person."

"Also, you're not allowed to go either, unless you want me to report you to Lord Os."

Li Yuan glanced at Chu Yang, then stepped forward, charging straight at him!

"Then I'll finish the mission first!"

With that, the Deep Ones went wild. Li Yuan joined the fray, pinning Chu Yang to the wall with a punch and unleashing a flurry of attacks!

Chu Yang was overwhelmed, unable to fight back. He gritted his teeth and pulled out a grenade, yanking the pin!

A grenade?

Was he planning to take them all down with him?

Li Yuan instantly retreated. Chu Yang hurled the grenade at him!

Boom!!

A deafening explosion shook the area, the shockwave sweeping through the room!

Dust flew everywhere. Li Yuan was thrown back by the blast but wasn't seriously injured.

He charged into the smoke, but Chu Yang and the two police officers were gone. A large crater had been blown into the floor.

Seeing this, Li Yuan waved his hand, and the Deep Ones swarmed down into the hole!

"After them!"
