Bang.

The floor-to-ceiling window shattered directly under the impact of the shockwave, sending shards flying in all directions. The pedestrians on the street were startled by the intense explosion, causing a wave of panic.

The Dragon Guards stationed outside the café rushed inside upon hearing the explosion, only to find the café in chaos, with blood spattered on the floor.

Having spent many years mingling on foreign battlefields, the Dragon Guards easily recognized the traces left by the explosion.

The leading Dragon Guard's eyes flashed red with anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "Seal off the area; search every inch to find the person."

"Yes!"

Upon the command, a large group of bodyguards acted swiftly, taking over the mall's security, triggering the fire alarm, and lowering the fire shutters to lock down the entire mall.

"Captain, someone escaped from the women's restroom; a rope was left there."

"Some of you, come with me to pursue them."

The Dragon Guards and bodyguards moved with great force, all of which was observed by Dark Butterfly, who had left earlier, and she smiled coldly.

"It seems Li Feng is already dead."

Wang Xi, sitting beside her, bit her lip as she looked at the shattered glass of the café on the third floor: "Mother, without seeing Li Feng's body, we can't be entirely sure he is dead."

Dark Butterfly glanced indifferently at Wang Xi.

"Daughter, I know it's hard for you to accept, given that he was the man who took your first time and the one who moved your heart."

"I understand your feelings, as finding a man who moves your heart is not easy."

"But whether you accept it or not, you must face reality: Li Feng is doomed."

Dark Butterfly spoke with certainty, a cold smile on her lips.

"Since this card has been played, I don't mind telling you the truth: the Lin Changsheng you saw earlier was not real, which you might have already guessed."

Wang Xi nodded.

"He was a stand-in, right? Though the Sect Master's reputation is known to many, few have actually seen him. So no one knows what he looks like or his features."

"When Mother says he is, no one can refute it."

"Compared to Li Feng, the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng, the Sect Master is the real dragon, elusive and unseen."

Wang Xi chuckled softly.

"You are quite right. Li Feng prides himself as the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng, thinking he schemed behind the scenes, arrogant and self-assured. I have to admit, he does have reasons to be proud and skills to be haughty."

"But he's still too young, young and overly sharp. He truly doesn't understand what a real Hidden Dragon is."

"In my eyes, Li Feng isn't even fit to carry the Sect Master's shoes."

Dark Butterfly mocked Li Feng, continuing, "This stand-in was prepared early on, cultivated from a young age in the Sect Master's image, and underwent multiple cosmetic surgeries afterward."

"Though few have seen him, there are some, and this stand-in can now deceive them."

"Of course, a fake is still a fake. To prevent any issue with this stand-in, a micro weapon was implanted inside him, using advanced international technology connected to his heart."

"Once the heart stops, it will explode, covering a range of ten meters, and within three meters, there's no chance of survival."

"The moment Li Feng sat across from him in the booth, his fate was sealed."

One can imagine, those targeting the Sect Master, having captured him, would find they've got the wrong person, and then the stand-in explodes with a bang, eradicating the Sect Master's enemies instead.

Terrifying.

Though aware she and her sisters were merely killing tools in Mother's hands, Wang Xi still shivered at the stand-in's fate.

Dark Butterfly, however, paid no mind to Wang Xi's thoughts. These daughters had been brainwashed since childhood, and even a moment of confusion wouldn't lead to betrayal as long as the Dark Butterfly Assassins remained.

"Let's go."

"Where to?"

"To Outer Heaven for a rescue."

Dark Butterfly turned abruptly, leaving the onlookers, with Wang Xi following behind, as Dark Butterfly had already sent orders to her subordinates upon leaving the café.

Though not many assassins gathered in Huacheng, except for Shi Yun, who was being pursued and another team eliminated, there were still over twenty others.

Under normal circumstances, Dark Butterfly's people wouldn't even dream of entering Outer Heaven. But after the blast, a number of bodyguards rushed out of Outer Heaven to lock down the mall.

It seemed after Li Feng's incident, Outer Heaven was leaderless and chaotic.

Dark Butterfly led her men directly toward Outer Heaven. With few bodyguards left inside and without a leading Dragon Guard, the remaining were quickly subdued by Dark Butterfly's assassins.

Soon after.

Dark Butterfly led her men to a business suite and opened the door.

"Mr. Duan, it's time to leave."

Duan Qirui looked up at Dark Butterfly: "And you are?"

"Dark Butterfly."

"Our time is limited; Mr. Duan, you should quickly change clothes and leave with us."

"What about Li Feng, and how did you get in, how many did you bring?"

Duan Qirui swiftly changed and followed them out while still asking about the situation. Although the door wasn't locked, Outer Heaven was tight outside and loose inside, well-guarded, which was why Duan Qirui had to stay in the room.

After all, the entire hotel was filled with Li Feng's people, and the corridors and elevators were all monitored. Unless he escaped through the window, which was impossible since his room was on a dozen floors up.

"Li Feng has been eliminated. As for the rest, I'll explain in detail after we leave; it seems Outer Heaven's guards are returning."

"Leng Feng is also in this hotel."

"We've already sent someone to fetch him and Lin Shaoshi."

Hearing this, Duan Qirui didn't say more, heading straight into the elevator to the basement.

"Boss."

"Thirteen."

In the underground garage, Leng Feng met Duan Qirui, the two exchanged looks, clearly not expecting to be rescued by a group of women.

"Let's get in the car first; time is of the essence."

Duan Qirui and Leng Feng got into a car, and the other Dark Butterfly assassins boarded as well. Then the group drove straight out of the underground garage.

All their vehicles were off-road, diverging from convenient paths, directly driving along the sidewalk beside the street trees, avoiding the congested roads.

After crossing the final intersection, seven or eight cars sped away.
