Under One Person: God Profiler

Chapter 152: Seeking Death?

The Guangming residential complex is anything but bright; it's an unfinished, abandoned building, a stark contrast between the city's neon lights and the desolate ruins. If a figure flashes by inside, you might not even see a person...

The man dressed as a secretary handed the documents to the scarred man, then shoved a wad of cash into his hand with a fawning smile: "Master, the rest of the matter depends on you. My boss said that if we can get through this, there will be another sum of money afterwards."

Scarface took the documents and casually tossed them to his subordinates. He weighed the money in his hand and said, "Don't worry, your boss entrusted this to me. There won't be any problems."

"I believe in the master. My boss would like to invite you to a gathering afterward to properly entertain you."

The secretary had a knowing look on her face.

"Definitely next time."

"well..."

Scarface dismissed his secretary and turned to his subordinates, saying, "How was it? Not bad, right? 180 million for one night! Each of you can get 60. If you work the regular way, it would take half a lifetime to earn that."

"It's not bad..."

"But this is a bit against the rules. Kidnapping the eldest son of the Wang family... what if the company investigates later..."

Liu Xuan and Zhao Ze hesitated. They were operating on the edge of a gray area and weren't doing anything legitimate, but at least they weren't openly arguing with the company!

That Chairman Zhao is absolutely freakish!

Scarface chuckled: "Don't talk nonsense. The eldest son of the Wang family was kidnapped by the Wang family. He's not in our hands and has nothing to do with us."

"We're just making a small profit; it's just a small business deal. Whether it succeeds or fails, the money isn't going to be refunded."

Scarface said to the two men with a smile on his lips.

"Liu Xuan is getting married and needs a bride price."

“With the money, Zhao Ze can enroll his child in a good extracurricular class. If all else fails, he can open a small supermarket. That would be better than continuing to do these jobs and living a miserable life without social security and housing fund benefits.”

Liu Xuan and Zhao Ze exchanged glances: "Okay, Brother Dao. Now that we have 600,000, let's find some legitimate work!"

Some extraordinary individuals cultivate in very extreme ways, such as living in remote mountains or villages year-round, completely isolated from the world. Some of these individuals have never even attended school in order to inherit their family's extraordinary skills.

Therefore, a large portion of them simply cannot survive in society.

No education, no experience, no connections.

The only special skill they can rely on cannot be exposed to the public.

Therefore, being able to establish oneself in society is a remarkable thing.

Scarface chuckled, about to say something, when suddenly his expression hardened, as if sensing something, and he said in a deep voice, "They...are here."

.......

In the corridor on the third floor, Xia Linyuan, Wang Ye, and others also arrived at the Guangming Building. Xia Linyuan was there for the Wang family's contract, while Wang Ye was there to rescue his brother.

Xia Linyuan and Feng Baobao both turned around and stared at Zhang Chulan.

His dark pupils stared at Zhang Chulan, making him feel uneasy.

Zhang Chulan's lips twitched: "Brother Xia, Sister Bao'er, what's wrong?"

"They've spotted us."

Xia Linyuan said calmly.

"You've touched the line."

Feng Baobao stared at Zhang Chulan scratching his face, then gestured in the corridor: "There is a Qi line here, but it is harmless. Xia Linyuan just stepped over it."

Is there a Qi line here?

Zhuge Qing raised an eyebrow, glancing casually at that spot. I didn't notice anything, though; those two people...

"It's good that we've been discovered." Upon hearing this, Wang Ye rolled up his sleeves, quickened his pace, and shouted, "Hey! You bastard! I'm here! Release my brother!!"

Anger and chilling, the voice echoed through the empty space.

Zhang Chulan shrank back and covered Wang Ye's mouth, whispering, "Wang Ye, calm down!"

"Brother Xia's men sent people to look for your brother! Once we confirm his location, we can rescue him!"

Before arriving at the Guangming residential complex, Xia Linyuan sent the Gao brothers to another floor to observe the situation of the entire building.

Wang Ye was emotionally agitated, and forcibly stopping him would only backfire. He had already shouted, so there was no need for him to hide anymore.

"It's alright, communicating with the other side is one way," Xia Linyuan reassured Wang Ye, then glanced at Zhang Chulan, gesturing for him to look up at the second floor: "Besides, they're already here!"

The words fell

A silver needle shot out from the shadows.

Xia Linyuan's body erupted with golden light, completely blocking the silver needles. He looked up at the three people upstairs, smiled slightly, and said gently, "Gentlemen, do you intend to make enemies of the company?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Liu Xuan and Zhao Ze's expressions immediately froze, and they both looked at the scarred man.

It seems he was the one in charge.

After identifying his target, Xia Linyuan used his ghostly steps, moving with the agility of a swallow, and arrived in front of the three in the blink of an eye. His eyes were slightly red as he stared at the scarred man: "Sir, may we have a chat..."

Scarface, observing Xia Linyuan's state with considerable interest, stroked his chin and said, "Interesting. Who are you playing?"

Xia Linyuan's expression remained unchanged. He lightly licked his red lips, the bloodlust in his eyes intensifying slightly as he whispered, "It seems you refuse to communicate..."

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light swirled in Xia Linyuan's hand, transforming into a staff that lashed out with the force of a whirlwind, aiming for the scarred man's head. The scarred man sighed lightly, "No respect for elders," and raised his elbow to block in front of him.

The next moment, Scarface's expression changed, and a tremendous force surged from the golden staff, filling his limbs and bones. A burst of energy erupted from his joints and exploded.

Liu Xuan and Zhao Ze were violently knocked to the ground by an invisible force.

Scarface chuckled coldly: "Your 'skill' is quite good..."

With that, he flicked his wrist, sending a delicate dart hurtling towards Xia Linyuan, then shouted, "Liu Xuan, Zhao Ze! You two take care of the others, leave Xia Linyuan and Wang Ye to me! Don't just stand there! Get moving!"

Xia Linyuan gripped the long staff tightly, flicked it upwards to deflect the dart, and then stabbed it hard into the scarred man's chest.

Suddenly, Xia Linyuan's mind went blank, and a few white sparks flashed in his eyes. The long stick that was originally aimed at his chest instead pierced through the scarred man's clothes under his armpit with a tearing sound.

Xia Linyuan frowned slightly, then flicked his long staff, sending the scarred man flying downstairs.

What have you done to my brother?!

Wang Ye lunged forward, grabbing at Scarface's clothes. But Scarface easily dodged, delivering a clumsy rabbit-kick-eagle kick that sent Wang Ye flying, tumbling and scrambling away into the distance.

"Damn it!" Wang Ye cursed under his breath, then got up and continued the chase.

Xia Linyuan looked at the stick in his hand with some confusion, and stared blankly at the two figures disappearing into the distance.

Just now, something tried to rush into my inner world?

Is that person... so eager to die?

Chapter 153 Qi Formation

Xia Linyuan cleared his mind of distractions. The other party's methods were somewhat strange and definitely not as simple as they seemed. Wang Ye was currently emotionally agitated and could very well fall victim to their trap. With this in mind, he called out to Feng Baobao, "Miss Feng, I'll leave these two to you. I'm going to help Wang Ye."

Feng Baobao circled her eyes with an "o" sign, then very cleverly held up three fingers: "OK...Leave it to me!"

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Liu Xuan and Zhao Ze, a beast-like aura quietly emanating from him.

Liu Xuan and Zhao Ze's expressions changed. They spat out a cloud of dust, concealing themselves as they fled. Their goal was simple: to stall...

"Take care of them." Feng Baobao said and rushed forward, with Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing following closely behind.

Seeing this, Xia Linyuan no longer hesitated and silently rushed towards the place where Wang Ye had run away, using the 'ghost step'.

The night was dark, and the ethereal moonlight poured into the corridor, revealing fine, net-like lines of light reflecting off the shadows.

Scarface flicked his finger, and the Qi threads snapped silently, sending countless darts flying from the darkness.

Wang Ye lowered his center of gravity and charged forward, causing a strange disc to suddenly bloom. He formed a hand seal with one hand: 'Zhen - Thunder!'

Pale lightning spread outwards from Wang Ye as the center. The darts that were hit by the lightning had their flight trajectories distorted and were all bounced away. As the scarred man ran further and further away, the magic circle under Wang Ye's feet rapidly expanded, enveloping the scarred man within it.

With a single step, Wang Ye traversed space and arrived near the scarred man. He formed a hand seal in front of him, and his hair bun moved without wind: "Chaotic Golden Clapper!"

Time seemed to freeze, and Scarface's speed was slowed down by 50 times.

Xia Linyuan, who arrived nearby, had white flames burning in his eyes. He also saw the frozen river of time and stepped into the magic array without hesitation.

Seeing the scarred man frozen in place, he frowned slightly. He'd been subdued? That's good...

Xia Linyuan silently took out a rope. As a temporary worker, he always carried a rope with him, even when he wasn't on a mission.

"Master Wang, I'll tie this guy up, then you can undo this magic array."

"Good!" Wang Ye didn't feel any pressure; suppressing this guy was as easy as suppressing an ant.

Xia Linyuan nodded slightly and stepped forward to tie him up. Just then, Xia Linyuan noticed that the River of Time had not left any marks on Scarface's body, but rather slid across his surface at an extremely slow pace.

As if sensing Xia Linyuan's gaze, the scarred man's eyes suddenly twitched as he looked at Xia Linyuan: "You figured it out?"

Xia Linyuan's pupils contracted, and then a gust of wind rushed towards him, as if an invisible force was repelling him.

In Xia Linyuan's eyes, the river of time before him completely conformed to Scarface's every wish, and the river of time was pushing Scarface to complete every step he took.

"Wang Ye, he's not immobilized! Get out of the way!"
