Chapter 67 - Who Is the Prey?

Another fireball explodes!BOOM——

The blast of firelight illuminated the dim underground parking lot, causing the walls to tremble.

Wilson, sobered up in fright at that moment, hurriedly fled and finally hid behind a mid-length hovercar, not daring to raise his head, fearing another fireball might fling his way, only daring to sneak a peek at the girl’s position through the rearview mirror.

"Calm down! Calm down a bit, I think we can still talk this over!"

Wilson whispered urgently, sharp claws extending from his fingertips.

Xu Xiaoyou stopped, no longer advancing.

"Let me tell you first, the company’s underground parking lot is monitored! And if someone of my department head level gets killed inside the company, it triggers an alarm!"

"I know." Xu Xiaoyou said dismissively: "That’s why I checked it out thoroughly before leaving work."

"Every half month, the company’s surveillance equipment goes through maintenance, deleting unnecessary backups, leaving a one-hour gap in between."

Xu Xiaoyou glanced up at the surveillance camera on the wall, flashing red lights.

"These monitors are off now."

"Damn!" Wilson cursed.

Xu Xiaoyou didn’t waste words anymore, quickly stepping forward, darting out from behind the vehicle with a fireball gathering in her hand.

In the flickering red light, the girl’s figure was like a death god harvesting lives from the shadows, rapidly closing in.

Wilson was stunned, instinctively raising his arms in defense before him.

After activating the werewolf’s Moon Madness, his muscles bulged, body enlarging more than a size, fur growing crazily, his eyes turning blood red!

"Howl!"

Wilson let out a wolf howl.

"You’re leaving me no choice!"

After a fireball, Wilson’s figure was sent flying backward, heavily crashing into the wall.

With a whimper, Wilson reverted to his original form.

This werewolf supervisor seemed not as formidable as he appeared.

"Cough, cough..."

Xu Xiaoyou said coldly: "Any last words before you die?"

As Wilson opened his mouth, Xu Xiaoyou already had a fireball gathered in her hand, not giving him any chance to react, launching it straight into his open mouth.

Going directly for the kill!

Why aren’t you playing by the rules?

This shameless tactic, playing so dirty, huh?

Just as Xu Xiaoyou’s attack was about to hit, the air in front of her suddenly began to ripple.

Her attack seemed to plunge into a mass of cotton, disappearing suddenly into the air, being replaced by silent stillness.

Zzz——

Electric sparks flickered, and suddenly a grid-like electronic wall appeared in the empty air, followed by a silhouette emerging, revealing a girl wearing some sort of tight-fitting leather attire, with a half-mask, appearing out of nowhere in front of her.

Xu Xiaoyou’s wrist was tightly held by that girl, and when she tried to gather fire elements, it seemed as if the connection to the elements was severed by the other person, and the flame flickered twice before extinguishing completely.

She recognized the combat suit on the other person, the Night Stalker Series Combat Suit, developed by the Kangtao Security Training Company, with an extremely high price, often worth tens of thousands of credit points per set.

This combat suit has numerous functions, overwhelming people with its list of features: enhancing neural reflexes, strengthening movement systems, altering body gravity, and most famously, its optical camouflage ability, allowing one to blend completely into the environment.

The girl was probably around the werewolf from the start, and Xu Xiaoyou hadn’t sensed her presence at all until she actively revealed herself.

"Tsk." Xu Xiaoyou clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She tried to break free from the girl, but the opponent’s power and agility far surpassed hers, her every move was easily read, her lifted leg was blocked, her raised left fist was pinned against the wall.

The next moment, a ghostly green light flashed across the eye of the half-mask-wearing girl, the tip of a long mechanical tail extended from the back of her combat suit, with a green glow, fiercely stabbing into Xu Xiaoyou’s body, then grasping her throat, lifting her up, and slamming her against the wall.

With the injection of neurotoxins, Xu Xiaoyou grunted, slowly ceased struggling, only looking defiantly at the girl.

"Hehe..."

Wilson, suddenly filled with confidence, tidied his clothes and slowly stood up from the ground, adjusting the expensive wristwatch on his wrist.

He arranged his disheveled collar, no longer with a trace of his earlier disarray:

"You think I wouldn’t have thought of this?"

"I understand the principle of barefooted people not fearing those with shoes."

"You think your righteous indignation and a few fireballs could kill me?"

"People like me cherish their lives the most, painstakingly climbing from the bottom to a high position, living a life seen as luxurious in the eyes of those at the bottom."

"I’m a predator in the upper echelons of power in this steel jungle city! Being killed with hatred by such disgusting bugs would be too ridiculous."

"Don’t even think about struggling, Tangerine here is the ace of Kangpei Security Company, someone unremarkable like you, even several of you wouldn’t threaten me."

It was at this moment that Xu Xiaoyou let out a cold laugh.

"Anya."

Wilson felt a chill, sensing that a sharp claw was also pressed against his throat from behind, enveloped by a cold murderous intent, surging from behind as if to engulf him.

He recognized that low growl of a wolf-like creature.

Only when their territory and prey were severely encroached, intending to fight to the death, would they make such a sound.

Behind him, Anya’s expression was ruthless, ready to tear apart the werewolf before her if he dared make any rash moves, or even if Xu Xiaoyou nodded.
