It turned out that while the guards were relaxed during their meal at the restaurant, Shen Chumo secretly mixed the sleeping potion she had prepared beforehand into their drinks.

This drug is colorless and odorless, and its effects are extremely rapid. Once drugged, one will lose consciousness within a short period of time.

The three guards' eyelids grew heavier and heavier; they tried to struggle, but it was all in vain.

Soon, their bodies slumped uncontrollably in their seats, and they fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Chumo looked at the unconscious guard, took a deep breath, and quickly got to work.

She first checked the weapons and communication equipment carried by the guards and put them all away, just in case.

Then, she got into the driver's seat and started the car.

When Shen Chumo finally arrived at the abandoned factory, the sky gradually darkened, with thick, heavy clouds that seemed like a giant lead plate pressing down on the city, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Under the oppressive sky, the massive and dilapidated outline of the abandoned factory resembled a lurking beast, exuding an aura of death.

As soon as I stepped into the factory gate, a musty smell hit me.

Shen Chumo cautiously observed her surroundings. In the dim light, she could only see various abandoned machines and piles of debris.

"Lin Ting!" Shen Chumo called out, her voice echoing in the empty space and startling an unknown sound.

"Oh, you actually dared to come." A cold voice came from the second floor of the factory.

Shen Chumo looked up and saw Lin Ting standing behind the railing, looking down at her with a mocking smile on her face.

Shen Chumo sneered, "Didn't you just want me to come? Why pretend?"

Lin Ting came downstairs and approached, arms crossed, looking Shen Chumo up and down. When she saw that Shen Chumo's face was even more beautiful than before, jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"It seems you've found a new sugar daddy. Well, you lowly humans, how could you survive without us orcs?"

Lin Ting laughed with utter disdain.

Shen Chumo noticed that Lin Ting had come alone. It seemed that she didn't think Shen Chumo was a danger at all and that she could handle her on her own, which was why she was so bold.

Shen Chumo wasn't angry; she simply looked calmly at Lin Ting, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"You seem quite confident in your status, don't you? But in my opinion, you're just using your position to bully others."

If you set aside this identity, what are you then?

Lin Ting's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes. "Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite. This time, I won't let you have a chance to live again."

As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly drew a short knife from behind her and stabbed at Shen Chumo.

Shen Chumo was prepared and dodged to the side, simultaneously drawing her dagger to defend herself.

Lin Ting, enraged by her missed attack, stomped off the ground and lunged again with her dagger, the short blade whistling through the air as it aimed straight for Shen Chumo's chest.

Shen Chumo remained calm. She squatted down slightly and, using the momentum of Lin Ting's forward movement, executed a beautiful side spin, deftly dodging the attack while simultaneously striking Lin Ting's ribs with her elbow.

Lin Ting let out a muffled groan, staggered, and lost her balance.

Shen Chumo pressed her advantage, her dagger moving like a nimble snake, aimed straight at Lin Ting's throat.

Terrified, Lin Ting could only barely defend herself with her short knife in her panic. But her strength seemed so weak in front of Shen Chumo. With a little effort, Shen Chumo pressed down on her short knife, and the sharp tip of the dagger almost grazed Lin Ting's cheek, cutting off a few strands of hair.

"Shen Chumo! How dare you!" Lin Ting screamed in alarm.

"Is that all you've got?" Shen Chumo's lips curled into a mocking smile, her voice cold and clear. "You even said you wanted to kill me. How disappointing."

Lin Ting gritted her teeth, her eyes were bloodshot, and her heart was filled with resentment.

"How is that possible? How can you be so powerful? You're just a human being."

Lin Ting knew that Shen Chumo had reached the B rank in the virtual arena, but she had never watched Shen Chumo's matches. She mistakenly thought that Shen Chumo was just lucky because he had other beast forms and bought expensive weapons.

In the real world, she could manipulate Shen Chumo however she wanted, but now, she was the one being manipulated.

Lin Ting hardened her heart, broke free from Shen Chumo's restraint, took a few steps back, adjusted her breathing, and launched another frenzied attack.

This time, she concentrated all her strength in her arm and stabbed the dagger at a tricky angle into Shen Chumo's abdomen.

Shen Chumo seemed to have already seen through her intentions. He neither dodged nor flinched. Just as the short knife was about to stab him, he suddenly reached out his left hand, accurately grabbed Lin Ting's wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

With a "crack," Lin Ting's wrist snapped, and the short knife clattered to the ground.

"Ah!" Lin Ting screamed in pain, her face filled with agony and despair.

Shen Chumo showed no pity. She kicked Lin Ting in the back of the knee, and Lin Ting's legs went weak, causing her to kneel on the ground.

Shen Chumo pressed the dagger against Lin Ting's neck and said coldly, "Now, do you still think you can kill me?"

"Lin Ting, when you humiliated me, did you ever think you'd end up like this?"

Shen Chumo applied a little force, and the sharp dagger cut through Lin Ting's skin. Fresh blood slowly flowed down Lin Ting's neck, its crimson color glaringly obvious.

Lin Ting gasped for breath, the murderous intent in her eyes gradually replaced by fear, but she still spoke defiantly: "If you... if you kill me, neither the Lin family nor the An family will let you off!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chumo let out a disdainful sneer, the sound echoing through the empty, abandoned factory.

"Do you think I came here without any backup plan? Lin Ting, you are incredibly foolish."

After you die, everyone will know that you were killed by Pei Yan's men. Do you think they would fight the Pei family to the death for you, a dead person? You are too naive, Lin Ting.

All they care about is their own interests and reputation, and you are nothing more than a pawn they can discard at any time.

Lin Ting's chest heaved violently. "No, no, I am Anpu's fiancée, my father's beloved daughter. They will definitely seek justice for me."

Shen Chumo!! Even if I die, you will definitely come and be buried with me!!

Lin Ting burst into maniacal laughter, “I am the young lady of the Lin family, I am a high-ranking beastman! I am at the top of this society.”

"You really are annoying." Shen Chumo curled the corners of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes, which were full of coldness and annoyance.

"So what if you're a high-ranking orc? So what if you're Miss Lin? In my opinion, you're just a fig leaf to deceive yourself. After you die, you'll just be a lump of rotten flesh. What's the difference?"

As she spoke, the dagger in Shen Chumo's hand trembled slightly, reflecting a cold glint in the dim light.
