Let them offer their loyalty!

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's unusual gaze, Old Master Qin also realized his own lapse and quickly returned his expression to one of complete calm, as if nothing had happened.

It was no wonder he couldn't maintain his composure.

Mainly because... Lone Wolf was a Cataclysmic, and a Cataclysmic whose Catastrophe Power was perfectly suited for assassination!

His Cataclysmic ability, "Shadow Stealth," was an extremely terrifying power.

It not only allowed him to become completely invisible while moving through shadows, masking his presence, but also enabled him to make the objects he touched become invisible as well.

This made his Cataclysmic ability incredibly versatile.

Whether it was for assassination, theft, or investigation, it played a significant role.

Since investing a hefty sum to cultivate Lone Wolf, Old Master Qin had arranged for him to carry out many tasks over the years.

Every time, Lone Wolf returned unscathed and undefeated. Whether it was ordinary officials or businessmen, let alone Cataclysmics, there were no fewer than seven or eight who had died at his hands.

It could be said that Lone Wolf was the ace up Old Master Qin's sleeve.

So when Lone Wolf was preparing to strike at Qiu Tu, Old Master Qin had already written Qiu Tu off as a dead man.

Now, Qiu Tu had returned unharmed, while Lone Wolf had vanished without a trace. That was why Old Master Qin was somewhat out of sorts, which led to the action that caught Qiu Tu's attention just now...

At this moment, Qiu Tu also noticed Old Master Qin's abnormal behavior.

Even though Old Master Qin's expression and movements had returned to normal, Qiu Tu still keenly detected something amiss.

He glanced at the rifle in his hand, pondered for a moment, then smiled at the feigned calm Old Master Qin and said, "It seems... the gunman who tried to assassinate me was one of your men, Old Master."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin chuckled and denied it, "I don't know what you're talking about."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Qiu Tu didn't care, he gestured to Cao Dabiao and instructed, "Go to the entrance hall and drag the gunman's body over here."

Cao Dabiao took the order, "Yes!"

Before long, the body of Lone Wolf was dragged into the living room by Cao Dabiao.

By this time, even though there was no change in Old Master Qin's facial expression at the sight of Lone Wolf's body, his heart was set off like a tempest.

If before, upon seeing the rifle, Old Master Qin could still deceive himself that Lone Wolf had escaped or carelessly dropped his weapon, but... now, seeing Lone Wolf's body, he could no longer fool himself.

Lone Wolf was truly dead!

Dead at the hands of this young Section Chief before him!

How could this be possible?

One question after another swirled in Old Master Qin's mind.

Before he could sort out his thoughts, a loud "bang!" jerked his thoughts back to reality!

Old Master Qin looked towards Qiu Tu, who had fired the shot in horror.

Then he saw Qiu Tu aiming the rifle at a cabinet, having just shattered a glazed polychrome Monthly Ticket porcelain vase on it!

At this moment, seeing Old Master Qin's gaze turning towards him, Qiu Tu slowly turned the rifle's muzzle in Old Master Qin's direction.

Looking at the smoking barrel, chilling Old Master Qin to the bone, a loud alarm sounded in his mind at that very moment!

Sure enough, as Qiu Tu aimed the rifle's sights at Old Master Qin, he jokingly said, "Don't be afraid, Old Master, that shot was just a fluke. Actually... my marksmanship is pretty mediocre, and I've never used a rifle before."

"So... how many shots do you think it'll take for me to hit you?"

In that instant, Old Master Qin's forehead was slick with sweat.

Trying to laugh it off, he said, "Chief Qiu, you always like to joke like this."

Qiu Tu laughed along with a "haha" and then said, "I do enjoy a good joke."

"But I... don't like people who always beat around the bush with me."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu's face turned cold, and then he said, "So, tell me, Old Master. Do you choose to spill all the information, or choose... death?"

Old Master Qin felt sweat streaming down his cheeks, and with difficulty said, "What information?"

Qiu Tu's eyes were dark as ink as he asked, "What is 'God'? How do you know Him?"

"Are you a Cataclysmic, possessing some kind of abilities?"

"What bargain did you strike with 'God'?"

"Does He have other followers in Xinjie City? What are His aims?"

Just now, Qiu Tu had killed ten people, so when his killing intent boiled over, an eerie aura instantly filled the living room.

Thus, Old Master Qin had no doubt that Qiu Tu would truly pull the trigger!

So, staring at Qiu Tu's dark muzzle and feeling the undisguised intent to kill, Old Master Qin's complexion continuously shifted, as if weighing the pros and cons...

After a moment, he inquired, "If I answer your questions, will you spare me?"

Qiu Tu said expressionlessly, "Of course. I am a man of my word and never lie to anyone."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin's face went through several changes, then, as if making up his mind, he looked at Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng and said to Qiu Tu, "Let them leave. I'll talk about 'God's' secrets only with you."

```

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu, still holding his gun, slightly nodded his head towards Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng, signaling, "You two, guard the door."

Upon hearing his words, both looked at Qiu Tu with a hint of worry, obviously concerned that Old Master Qin might have other tricks up his sleeve. But seeing the firm look in Qiu Tu's eyes, they eventually walked out of the living room in silence and closed the door from the outside….

After the two had left, Qiu Tu continued to aim his gun at Old Master Qin and said expressionlessly, "Speak, reveal your secret with 'God'…."

…....

Meanwhile, while Qiu Tu was extorting information from Old Master Qin at gunpoint,

Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng were quietly chatting outside the door.

Leaning against the wall with a cigarette, Cao Dabiao squinted as he smoked and asked, "Chen Feng, do you know what I saw just now when I went out?"

Chen Feng, with a cold face and standing guard at the door, casually asked, "What did you see?"

Cao Dabiao replied, "I saw bodies everywhere, more than a dozen, all members of the United Front."

Ever since Qiu Tu entered the living room, Chen Feng had guessed that their own side had won the battle.

To win a gunfight, casualties were inevitable, so he indifferently responded, "So what?"

Cao Dabiao squinted his eyes as he took a deep drag, "But they were all shot in the forehead, a kill with one shot."

Chen Feng paused for a moment.

Leaning against the wall, Cao Dabiao looked down and flicked the ashes off his cigarette, then continued, "....According to Little Liu, our officer killed all those people single-handedly."

Chen Feng's pupils slightly constricted.

Cao Dabiao's hand trembled slightly, "And... all within twenty or so seconds."

Chen Feng abruptly turned to Cao Dabiao.

Feeling Chen Feng's gaze, Cao Dabiao took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled heavily before he chuckled bitterly and asked, "Do you think... the times have changed?"

He leaned back his head, somewhat melancholic, and said, "'God'... 'Catastrophe Power'... 'Cataclysmic treasures'... 'Curse'...."

"Although I was not in the living room earlier, I participated in the previous interrogation."

Experience more tales on empire

"From the brief remarks of the Chief and those traffickers, I guessed that it seems to be a world completely different from our understanding."

"What exactly is that world like?"

Hearing Cao Dabiao's words, Chen Feng also fell silent.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Since the Chief deliberately let us encounter these cases, he clearly wishes to prepare us with a certain awareness before gradually leading us into that world."

"I think, as long as we closely follow the Chief's footsteps, we will definitely reach that new world."

"Perhaps... by then, we could also possess those kinds of miraculous powers."

Despite saying this, the usually composed Chen Feng couldn't help but grip his hands tightly....

Twenty or so seconds, to slaughter over a dozen people....

It was truly a dimension-reducing strike from a "Higher Being."

Is the gap between Cataclysmics and ordinary people truly that vast?

Previously, due to the unclear distinction between Cataclysmics and ordinary people, Chen Feng, though curious about the world of Cataclysmics, did not have much longing.

But now, after learning about Qiu Tu's battle achievements and Old Master Qin's "Immortality" miracle, his heart was no longer indifferent....

At this moment, while Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng were discussing Cataclysmics,

Suddenly, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three loud gunshots echoed throughout the entire villa!

Both men jolted, reflexively looking towards the direction of the living room. Chen Feng took a quick step towards the door to open it, while Cao Dabiao quickly snuffed out his cigarette and followed!

Just as both of them reached for the doorknob, the door to the villa's living room was opened from the inside. Qiu Tu wiped his hands with an indifferent look, using a white handkerchief as he sandwiched the Communicator between his shoulder and cheek, speaking on the phone,

"Shuman, I've shared the intelligence on 'God' with you. I also told you the leads. Don't delay, start your control operations right now."

"This is not a minor issue. If it blows up, it would be a huge scandal, no matter for your Security Department or for our Investigation Bureau."

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Chen Feng and Cao Dabiao promptly stood at attention, saluting.

Having finished saluting, and as if they just realized something, they carefully shifted their gaze, peering through the wide-open door.

Then... they saw Old Master Qin, who had been chained to the staircase, now lying in a pool of blood with three bullet wounds, lifeless.

And the assault rifle, somehow, had been placed back into the hands of the man Cao Dabiao had dragged in....

Perhaps sensing their gaze, Qiu Tu seemed to recall something and "Oh"ed, and then he put down the Communicator and calmly said to them, "By the way. Just now, a gunman entered through the back door and shot Qin Cheng, Qin Wuyi."

"When I witnessed this, I drew my gun and killed the gunman."

"Go and take care of the scene."

After speaking, he went back to making his phone calls with the Communicator....
