The Visit of Satan

Allen, carefully disguised, was hurled over the wall by Xiao Feng. Qin Tian caught him effortlessly, and soon Xiao Feng leapt down after them. The three then proceeded toward the parking lot of a nearby shopping mall. Only after casting cautious glances around to ensure no one followed did Xiao Feng start the car and drive Allen away.

Every step was executed with utmost discretion—Xiao Feng was determined to avoid causing Allen any trouble.

Along the way, Xiao Feng had already contacted Tugu and Pandora, instructing them to await in his quarters within the camp. Upon entering the barracks, Xiao Feng led Allen straight to his room. Allen carried a silver briefcase, his hat pulled low, stepping inside with a serious demeanor.

Inside, Tugu and Pandora regarded Allen's arrival with astonishment. When Allen removed his hat, despite the fake mustache carefully pasted over his lips, both immediately recognized him—the chief engineer of Victoria Corporation.

It was Allen's team that had given life to both of them.

Pandora's voice trembled with surprise: "Dr. Allen, what brings you here?"

Allen sighed wearily. "It's all because of Xiao Feng—storming into my home, threatening, intimidating, coercing, and enticing. That's how I agreed to come."

"What is your purpose here?" Xiao Feng asked.

Allen placed the silver briefcase on a nearby table and opened it, revealing a computer and several other instruments. He pulled out two cables and said to Pandora, "Xiao Feng sent me to remove your control commands and dismantle your restrictions. From now on, you will be truly free—no longer under Victoria Corporation's control. You will be able to act as you please."

"Is that... really true?" Pandora asked, incredulous.

Allen shrugged helplessly. "Would I deceive you? Who wants to go first?"

Pandora settled onto a nearby stool with a smile. "I'll go first."

Allen nodded and carefully inserted the two cables, one into each of Pandora's ear ports.

A flicker of pain crossed Pandora's face as she furrowed her brow tightly.

"Bear with it—it will be over soon," Allen muttered as his fingers flew across the computer's illuminated keyboard with astonishing speed, even Xiao Feng watched in amazement. Allen swiftly accessed Pandora's control core and retrieved the password for her constraints. He then stepped aside and told Xiao Feng, "You may now change the password."

Xiao Feng approached the computer and lifted it, facing Pandora. "Pandora, it is time you take control of your own destiny."

Pandora was taken aback, visibly moved by his words. Tentatively, she extended a finger and typed several characters on the keyboard before pressing 'confirm.'

A soft chime signaled the password change was complete—Pandora would no longer be subject to anyone's control. Allen removed the cables, and Pandora stood, looking at Xiao Feng with gratitude. "Thank you…"

"No need for thanks—I made you this promise," Xiao Feng replied.

Tugu, equally exhilarated, nearly broke Xiao Feng's chair as he sat down. Allen repeated the process with Tugu, allowing him to change his own control password, his mood buoyant and joyful.

Once everything was finished, Xiao Feng escorted Allen back to his home. Outside the villa district, he strolled slowly toward his modified sports car. The cool breeze of the clear summer night whispered softly as a deep satisfaction settled in Xiao Feng's heart—having resolved the issues with Tugu and Pandora, he seemed to savor the nocturnal scenery as he walked leisurely.

Yet, as he approached his car, a figure suddenly materialized beside him—not appearing because Xiao Feng failed to notice, but as if manifesting from thin air.

Xiao Feng frowned. "Who are you?"

The man stood nearly a full head taller, broad-shouldered, bald, with a fierce visage that curled into a sinister smile. "You must be Xiao Feng. Allow me to introduce myself—I am Satan."

Xiao Feng's brow furrowed in puzzlement. "Satan? Satan? Ah, you are the leader of the Seven Fiends, Satan."

"Ha! It seems my reputation precedes me," Satan chuckled darkly.

"Why have you come here?"

"I've come for two people. Hand over Zeus and Apollo to me," Satan declared without hesitation.

"Old man, you've got quite the sense of humor. Why on earth would I surrender those two to you?"

"Because you have no choice," Satan's voice was imperious.

Xiao Feng's gaze hardened, eyes freezing cold as he glared at the unannounced visitor—the formidable leader of the Seven Fiends.

"My turf is mine to defend," Xiao Feng said icily.

"What of it? Those I intend to take never remain unclaimed."

Suddenly, Satan lunged forward with astonishing speed, seizing Xiao Feng by the throat and hoisting him into the air. His grip was like a hydraulic vice, unyielding and crushing—Xiao Feng had no room to struggle.

Pain surged through Xiao Feng's neck. He knew he had mere minutes before Satan would strangle him to death.

Though disoriented for a moment, Xiao Feng quickly regained his composure. Wrapping his arms around Satan's wrists, he summoned all his strength and launched a fierce kick toward Satan's temple.

The swift, brutal strike stunned Satan. With a sharp crack, his head was slammed by Xiao Feng's foot. Dazed, Satan violently threw Xiao Feng to the ground, cursing, "You bastard!" Enraged, he retaliated with a powerful kick.

This time Xiao Feng was ready. Twisting his body, he dodged Satan's strike.

Suddenly, a stream of water surged up beside him, snaking around Satan's right leg and freezing it solid in an instant.

The towering Satan scowled, stomping his right foot hard. The ice shattered with a crack.

Realizing Satan was a formidable adversary, Xiao Feng cursed under his breath and closed in swiftly.

Satan unleashed a thunderous punch at Xiao Feng, his speed matching Xiao Feng's every move.

Yet, Xiao Feng parried by grabbing Satan's arm with both hands, bending forward, and executing a flawless judo throw that slammed Satan onto the ground. The stone pavement cracked and shattered beneath the impact.

If he could toss a giant like the colossus Tugu around, then Satan, slender in comparison, was no challenge.

Xiao Feng pressed his advantage without hesitation, stepping forward and stomping forcefully onto the fallen Satan.
