Xiao Zheng felt an urgent anxiety.
Since his arrival in Zhonghai City, with his status as the Evil God, he had barely encountered any rivals. Even Hozon from Southeast Asia, who was cruel and treacherous, was effortlessly eliminated by him.
But now it was different!
Now his enemy was Mr. Liu!
This man had been able to compete with him in Zhonghai back in the day. In terms of talent, he was a match for Xiao Zheng. In these past few years, he had disappeared from the public eye but, just like Xiao Zheng, he had grown at a startling rate and had become a true powerhouse.
Such a person actually captured Leng Ruobing!
How could Xiao Zheng not be anxious?
If anything untoward happened to Leng Ruobing, Xiao Zheng did not know what he would do!
Although Xiao Zheng had risen powerfully from Zhonghai City, dominated North Africa, and founded Sky Net, encountering countless women throughout these adventures—many of whom were more beautiful, more powerful, and more seductive than Leng Ruobing—
Even so, in his eyes, the status of these women was still far inferior to that of Leng Ruobing.
Because Leng Ruobing gave him a sense of home.
The tremendous achievements Xiao Zheng had acquired, apart from his extraordinary talent, also had one important reason: his willingness to fight desperately!
From the beginning, he had invested all his energy into endless slaughter, battles, and conquest.
Over these many years, he had been constantly on the battlefield, surrounded by the roars of enemies and the howl of bullets; before his eyes were the thick blood and corpses strewn all over.
He liked such a life.
He was also a bit weary of it.
And it was under this backdrop that he returned to Zhonghai City, entering into a sham marriage with Leng Ruobing with an attitude of toying with the mundane world.
At first, he was nonchalant, but as time passed, his attitude changed through his interactions with Leng Ruobing.
He felt the warmth of a home.
Every night he came home, there would be a woman sitting at the dining table, who, even though she was so sleepy she wanted to go to bed, would wait with a table full of dishes for you.
Although this woman always spoke coldly, if you were away from home for a few days, she would worry about you and incessantly call you dozens or hundreds of times.
As the Evil God, Xiao Zheng, who had experienced endless blood and fire, had no defense against this kind of life.
And that was precisely why—
He had to protect this life!
He had to protect the people in it!
He could not let them suffer the slightest harm!
"Ruobing, wait for me."
Xiao Zheng looked towards the villa in front with a cold glint in his eyes, "If that Mr. Liu dares to offend you in the slightest, I will surely kill him!"
At this moment, a strong killing intent surged in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
He seemed to truly transform into an Evil God, standing between heaven and earth, causing all beings to tremble and wail!
Suddenly, just then, the main door of the villa was pushed open.
Xiao Zheng stopped in his tracks, his eyes suddenly shooting sharp gazes towards that direction.
Xiao Zheng said coldly.
"Heh, truly worthy of being the former Master of Tianji Sect, the Heavenly Net Evil God," Mr. Liu said with a faint smile on his lips, "I had so many masters lying in ambush outside, among them even someone like Nie Jiujian, an Innate Strong Person. Yet, in such a short time, you’ve charged in here."
"Such strength, even I must admit it is superior to my own."
Xiao Zheng’s voice was ice cold, his gaze sharp as a knife, he coldly demanded, "Release Leng Ruobing!"
Mr. Liu smirked, "Are you talking about President Leng? Rest assured, she’s doing just fine. I’ve assigned our top Filipino maids to take care of her."
Mr. Liu clapped his hands.
In the distance, suddenly there was a strong light, shining up into the sky.
Then an image appeared.
Leng Ruobing was lying in a room, surrounded by several Filipino maids. However, the expressions on those maids were savage, and they were holding sharp blades in their hands.
"You see, isn’t President Leng sleeping soundly?" Mr. Liu said with a faint smile.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng was furious.
His eyes seemed murderous as he glared at Mr. Liu, roaring like a lion, "Release her; our issue has nothing to do with her!"
"It has nothing to do with her?"
Mr. Liu laughed hideously, "Now you realize she’s unrelated?"
At this point, Mr. Liu’s expression suddenly became demonic as he roared, "Did you ever think of today when you executed me back then? Did you ever know how the woman I loved died?"
Xiao Zheng was taken aback, then said coldly, "When I dealt with you back then, I did not use such despicable methods against a woman like you have!"
Mr. Liu burst into laughter, his voice filled with desolation, "You didn’t? Get lost! Do you know that the woman I loved died because of you?"
"If it weren’t for you, how could I have possibly failed? How could I have ended up fleeing into the ocean? How could I have been trapped on a deserted island without a single bird or fish?!!"
"Do you know how I survived?"
Mr. Liu laughed maniacally, "By that time we had been trapped for over ten days, starving to death! I strangled her, used her corpse as food, and only then did I survive. Only then did a passing ship come to the island!"
"Tell me, would any of this have happened without you?"
"Xiao Zheng, the moment I strangled my woman with my own hands, I swore vengeance. I swore I would take my revenge, and a brutal one at that!"
"I want you to know how it feels to lose your beloved!"
"I want you to understand what true pain is!"
Upon hearing Mr. Liu’s words, even Xiao Zheng was startled, looking at him in shock, "You’re so heartless and deranged that you ate your own woman."
What kind of cold-hearted man can perform such a beastly act!
"All of this is because of you, because of you!" Mr. Liu bellowed furiously, "If it weren’t for you, none of this would have happened! You are the one who killed her!"
Xiao Zheng sneered, "Stop lying to yourself. You are the one who killed her, not me. No matter how many excuses you find, you can’t change the fact that you murdered her with your own hands."
Mr. Liu’s expression was distraught, his lips trembling. But the next moment, he suddenly burst into wild laughter, telling Xiao Zheng, "What gives you the right to preach to me, haha.
Then his voice abruptly turned cold, "Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing is now in my hands. With just one command, those Filipino maids in the room will kill her!"
"I’ll give you a choice!"
"If you sever your own meridians and surrender, I’ll let her go!"
