The exchange ended abruptly with a few words. Although the other party was clearly eager to get some information about the situation in the area, Kelly Moggie didn't have much time to waste. She quickly put down the microphone, turned to the white-haired general, stood at attention, and solemnly reported: "Reporting, General... The communications battalion of Unit 2985 in Watson City reports... Just now, they all heard what that person said... Comparing the two, the content of the sentence is exactly the same. They cannot determine the specific source of the sound, but can only roughly guess that it came from... our direction. The time difference between the two locations is only about 12.35 seconds."
As we all know, the average speed of sound in the atmosphere is 340 meters per second. Based on that calculation… in just over twelve seconds, the sound should only have traveled about four kilometers. However… this military base is at least 120 kilometers from Watson City. This flaw is too glaring, so based on this, we all agree that this person likely made some kind of pre-arranged plan, and many people collaborated… perhaps with someone controlling a loudspeaker every few kilometers, broadcasting the person's pre-arranged words almost simultaneously, thus creating the illusion that the sound traveled 120 kilometers.”
"Is this really just an illusion?" The white-haired general snorted coldly, then looked down through his binoculars at the young man who had spoken below. His brows furrowed slightly as he said with a hint of doubt, "Strange... how come he's not a child... could it be... that another powerful expert has appeared here, an enemy of our Federation?"
Kelly Mogi was somewhat puzzled by the white-haired general's words, and she was clearly convinced that Zhou Ziwei was faking it and that his voice could not possibly have been transmitted directly to Waston City. Therefore, she said without hesitation, "General... what do you think we should do now? Should we launch those 126 small nuclear bombs immediately?"
"No... absolutely not."
Upon hearing this, the white-haired general's expression changed immediately. He quickly waved his hand and said, "The plan has changed. We absolutely cannot act rashly at this moment. Issue orders immediately, so everyone stay put... Without my further confirmation, no one is allowed to attack the two people below!"
"Yes... General." Kelly Mogi was indeed quite skeptical, but seeing the solemn look on the white-haired general's face when he issued the order, she wisely refrained from questioning it and immediately relayed the white-haired general's order without hesitation.
Just then, Zhou Ziwei spoke loudly again: "Your Excellency President... I think you can hear me, right? So... shouldn't we make a deal now? Oh... right... I forgot that it might be a bit troublesome for Your Excellency's voice to be transmitted directly to me, but... that's your own business. I have no obligation to help you solve this problem. I now have complete control over the nuclear weapons launch command program in your hands, and I have ordered all thirteen nuclear missile launchers in the United States to simultaneously target twelve major cities in the United States. Now, with just a thought from me... these twelve cities will immediately be subjected to devastating nuclear attacks."
"Heh... Of course, Washington City will receive special treatment here; two nuclear missiles will be aimed at it simultaneously. Hmm... Now your people have me surrounded here, and it seems there are over a hundred small nuclear missiles aimed at me, ready to launch at any moment... God... There are over a hundred nuclear missiles here... It's terrifying... And I can only control a maximum of thirteen nuclear missile launchers and obtain the highest level of authority, which is a real pity... It's truly regrettable... Because of the limited time, this is all I can do. If I had more time to prepare, I believe I could control as many nuclear missiles as your country, America. And now... I can only use these thirteen nuclear missiles to make a deal with you..."
Zhou Ziwei spoke these words calmly and confidently, even with an air of self-assurance. The American men who heard them either dismissed his words as madness or believed he was just making a fuss before his death, trying to dissuade others from killing him...
However, only the old general with a full head of white hair was terrified, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
"Quickly... connect him to the President immediately." The white-haired general waved his hand anxiously and said, "Immediately inquire with the President... ask him if, being in Washington City, he can truly hear that person's voice with his own ears..."
Miss Kelly Moggie agreed, but before she could contact the president, she received a call request first. She was slightly surprised to see that the call request was from the Presidential Office. She answered the video call and saw... sure enough... the person on the other end was His Excellency the President himself.
"Your Excellency the President..." The white-haired general quickly stood up from his seat and gave a standard military salute to the video phone.
"General, you're too kind..." The president returned the salute to the white-haired general on the screen, then said somewhat exasperatedly, "Quickly... immediately connect me to the external audio feed. I want to speak directly with the person on your end."
Upon hearing this, the white-haired general's expression changed again, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency President... could it be... could it be true that what that person said? Your nuclear missile launch program has really been... controlled by him?"
The president sighed helplessly and said, "Yes... this can't be hidden anymore, and I have no reason to lie to you. Hmm... after this, my presidency is over... sigh... no matter how this matter is ultimately resolved, I will have to resign. However... I hope nothing uncontrollable happens this time! Otherwise... even if I resign, it will be a disgrace in the history of the United States, and I will be infamous for all time... Enough said, get me connected to the outside line immediately... I need to talk to that person right away... I'm really afraid of him now, and I don't want to give him any excuse to launch a nuclear missile!"
Upon hearing this, the white-haired general nodded, his face pale. Then, he turned around, frowned, and yelled at the staff on the same plane, "Are you deaf? Hurry up and connect His Excellency the President's voice to the outside line!"
"Yes... General!" The technicians responded immediately, and in a flurry of activity, they completed this complex task in just a few seconds. The next second, the President's solemn and authoritative voice finally rang out in the sky above the military base...
"Hello... I am the current president of Country M... Your Excellency... how can I regain supreme control of the nuclear weapons program? I don't think this is a funny joke. If it happens, it will be a horrific event that shocks the whole world, even all of humanity, and history itself." The president sighed softly and continued, "If that happens, hundreds of millions of people in Country M will die at your whim... and you will become a sinner who destroys the peace of human society for all time. Therefore... on behalf of all the people of Country M, I beg you to lay down your sword!"
"Pah—" Zhou Ziwei sneered upon hearing this, and said, "What... you prepared more than a hundred nuclear bombs for no reason, intending to set off fireworks over my head, and that makes you a model of maintaining world peace, while I only mobilized a dozen or so nuclear bombs, and I immediately became the enemy of the human world... Is that right... Mr. President, it's okay for people to be a little shameless, but you can't be so shameless!"
The president replied somewhat helplessly, "Of course not... Oh... This is mainly because you are currently controlling real nuclear weapons with terrifying destructive power. Once those thirteen nuclear bombs are detonated, the impact will likely extend far beyond the twelve major cities you are currently targeting. At that time... the intense nuclear contamination could spread, potentially engulfing the entire world in this devastating catastrophe... While our... the small batch of small nuclear bombs we have prepared only possess the simple explosive power of nuclear bombs, without the intense and lethal radiation produced by a real nuclear explosion."
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 647: Nuclear Crisis
Zhou Ziwei scoffed at the president's explanation, scoffing and saying, "I know your country claims that this nuclear bomb only has the explosive effect of a nuclear bomb, but without the radiation. However... I believe you yourselves know very well that these are just to fool the people. Do you really think that a so-called nuclear bomb is absolutely radiation-free? You don't think I'm as innocent and easily deceived as ordinary citizens, do you?"
Zhou Ziwei spoke using the same sonic amplification method, and these few words, casually uttered from his mouth, immediately spread throughout a radius of about 150 kilometers, especially in Washington, 120 kilometers away... At that moment, millions of people heard Zhou Ziwei's words clearly... Immediately, public sentiment surged, and countless people began to loudly condemn the government and the military. Many people who were already loitering in the streets even organized demonstrations.
The president, who was talking to Zhou Ziwei, was still in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Therefore, he could not only hear Zhou Ziwei's voice, which seemed to have traveled through time, clearly ringing in the air above the city, but also hear the commotion of the entire city's population immediately.
The poor president was immediately drenched in sweat. He hurriedly transmitted his voice over the air, more than a hundred kilometers away, and said helplessly to Zhou Ziwei, "Sir, I think... perhaps we could change our conversation to a more private format? Besides... I know your abilities are incredibly amazing, but transmitting your voice more than a hundred kilometers away in an instant... must be quite tiring, right? Perhaps... you could lower your voice a little, or... I could have my people pick you up and take you to the plane, and we could communicate directly via video call. What do you think?"
Zhou Ziwei smiled slightly upon hearing this, knowing that the president was truly afraid. If he continued to expose the scandals from a distance of hundreds of kilometers, making sure everyone in the city of Washington knew about the government's dirty deeds, then... the public outcry would be too great to be resolved by simply having the president step down. It was even possible that the entire ruling party represented by the president would be forced to step down.
However, although Zhou Ziwei was aware of the president's concerns, he did not really want to make things difficult for them. After all, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If he really pushed them to the brink, it would be even more difficult for them to leave the United States safely.
Another point is that... the attribute-less energy stored in Zhou Ziwei's body had already been completely exhausted. The energy consumed by those few sounds transmitted with sound waves was almost all the earth energy that Zhou Ziwei had hastily absorbed during his emergence from underground.
Although the energy consumed by transmitting voice using sound waves was not very large, Zhou Ziwei, who had not absorbed much energy to begin with, exhausted his hard-earned reserves after shouting these few times. Even if he wanted to shout it out to the whole world, he no longer had the ability. Helpless, he could only accept the president's intentions and nod, not even saying a word, but just waving his hand... indicating that he would let the other party make arrangements.
The poor president, seeing the live feed from the white-haired general, learned that Zhou Ziwei had agreed to his request and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He then immediately ordered the white-haired general to land the plane and invite the two gentlemen aboard. The president was going to have a confidential negotiation with them via video call. Of course, as the military representative, the white-haired general also had to participate in the negotiation.
The white-haired general did not express any objection to the president's order, but his assistant, Kelly Moji, finally couldn't help but subtly remind him that the two men were extremely dangerous individuals. If they were allowed to board the plane, it would pose an irresistible danger to the general. Therefore, Kelly Moji suggested that even if the general absolutely had to participate in the negotiations, another plane could be sent to pick them up and use a different video phone to conduct remote negotiations with the president and the general.
However, the white-haired general rejected the proposal without hesitation. In his words, if those thirteen nuclear bombs were to explode, he, as a general, would immediately become a sinner in the history of the United States. Even if Zhou Ziwei didn't kill him, he would have to commit suicide to atone for his sins. In that case, what did he have to fear?
Taking advantage of the brief lull in the negotiations arranged by the other party, Zhuihun finally seized the opportunity to grab Zhou Ziwei by the collar and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me... what exactly did you do? What... thirteen bullets, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly... is this related to Emily?"
Of course, Zhuihun remembered that Zhou Ziwei had assigned Emily a task before, something about delivering a gift to the president. Could it be... that Zhou Ziwei indirectly controlled the nuclear weapons launch program held by the president through Emily? But how could that be...? What ability did Emily have to obtain something so important? But if not, why would the president react this way? Could it be... that Zhou Ziwei had Emily deliver some big gift to the president, making the president cooperate with him in this charade? But that seemed even more impossible.
Would the president be so easily bribed? Moreover... this incident will be a huge blow to the president. No matter how this matter ends, the current president's political life is bound to come to an end, and the impact of this incident will probably cause turmoil throughout the entire United States for quite some time.
This is practically like tearing the sky apart... Faced with such terrible consequences, what tempting price could Zhou Ziwei possibly offer to make that president give in? It seems utterly impossible.
Zhou Ziwei originally wanted to keep him in suspense for a while, but Zhuihun grabbed his neck with both hands and interrogated him unreasonably. Helpless, he had no choice but to whisper to Zhuihun, "Alright... it doesn't matter if I tell you. Actually, I just had Emily deliver an advanced electronic artificial intelligence to the president on my behalf. This is a project that the M country government is currently investing heavily in. I directly handed him a high-end finished product of artificial intelligence, so he naturally had no choice but to accept it."
“What… artificial intelligence.” Zhuihun was taken aback upon hearing this, but then shook his head in confusion and whispered in Zhou Ziwei’s ear, “I understand how tempting this thing is to the US government, but… no matter how important it is, it doesn’t seem enough to make the president so crazy as to trade the fate of the entire US with you!”
Zhou Ziwei smiled faintly and said, "Of course he wouldn't dare, so I never even considered bribing this President. Hehe... You don't think the President is playing along with me, do you? You're wrong... I can tell you with absolute certainty that the launch procedures for those thirteen nuclear weapons are indeed under my control. Now, as long as I issue an order, those thirteen nuclear weapons can be launched immediately, and in an instant... the twelve most prosperous cities in the United States will be completely razed to the ground!"
"This... how could something so important be obtained? How... how did you get your hands on it?" Zhuihun was shocked upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask repeatedly.
"Have you forgotten that I just had Emily give the President an artificial intelligence?" Zhou Ziwei chuckled and said, "Do you think I would be so kind as to send such a high-tech product to them for research? Hehe... In fact, the artificial intelligence that Emily sent was far more powerful than the President had anticipated."
That guy is a monster... Heh... Now my AI can almost control the global network at any time, and can also remotely control many electronic programs or devices through the network. But for something as important as the M army's nuclear weapons launch program, my AI still can't be remotely controlled, which is why I had Emily specially send it to the President. I believe... the President will be very interested in such an advanced AI.
As far as I know… the President, as the highest representative of the federal government, wields considerable power, including the control of thirteen nuclear weapons ready to be launched at any time. The launch programs for these thirteen nuclear weapons are in his possession, stored in a small laptop he carries with him. My AI cannot remotely infiltrate his laptop, which is not connected to the internet, but once my AI gets close enough, it can easily take control of it.
"Hehe... My AI should have already copied that control program over, and incidentally destroyed the program the president had... So... hehe... those thirteen nuclear weapons are now completely under my control. I can make them explode whenever I want, and I can make them launch wherever I want. And once the program enters the launch preparation state, those nuclear weapons are no longer something anyone can disarm. If anyone tries to do so... it will probably force the nuclear weapons to launch ahead of schedule. Hmph... Under these circumstances, I don't believe Mr. President would dare to disobey!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuihun was dumbfounded again. His pitiful grasp of scientific knowledge was not enough for him to understand so many high-tech things. After all, he was already an old man in his fifties. When he was young, the level of technology in the world was not very high, especially when it came to network technology and so on. Even if Zhuihun was not a complete novice in electronics, he was not particularly knowledgeable either. Therefore, he only vaguely understood what Zhou Ziwei was saying.
However, they finally figured it out in general: the artificial intelligence that Zhou Ziwei had Emily send over had taken back the power to control nuclear weapons from the president. Now Zhou Ziwei could actually control the launch of those thirteen nuclear weapons at any time... and that was enough to shock Zhuihun.
The plane overhead landed quickly, and the white-haired old general personally stood at the cabin door to welcome Zhou Ziwei and Zhuihun into the cabin for negotiations.
Seeing the row of planes parked all around and so many heavily armed and menacing M soldiers, Zhuihun frowned slightly and whispered to Zhou Ziwei, "Are we really going to get on that plane? Aren't you afraid they might have prepared some kind of trap?"
"It doesn't matter..." Zhou Ziwei shrugged slightly and said, "Let them come if they dare! I'm not afraid. Even if they have some secret weapon that can kill me in an instant, my artificial intelligence is already at least as intelligent as a human. It's not a robot that has to wait for my orders to act. When it finds out that something has happened to me... hehe... if it goes berserk, it might destroy more than just the United States. That guy might even destroy the entire Earth to take me down with him, hmph... With such a powerful safeguard, tell me... what do I have to be afraid of?"
Zhou Ziwei didn't use sound wave direction transmission technology to say these words, but spoke them very naturally, so many people nearby could hear them clearly. Naturally... the white-haired old general who was standing at the cabin door at this moment also heard every word. Immediately, the old man's face turned even whiter than his hair.
Is it an artificial intelligence that already possesses intelligence comparable to or even surpassing that of humans? And this AI even has the ability to manipulate the entire human network... then... if such a monstrous entity were to truly go berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable... It can now easily control the thirteen nuclear weapons originally controlled by the President, so next time it could control nuclear weapons held by other forces. And then... if that AI really went berserk and randomly controlled all the world's nuclear weapons to bombard each other... then it wouldn't take much effort at all to easily destroy the entire Earth. You know... the current nuclear arsenal on Earth is enough to destroy the planet several times over...
Thinking of this, the white-haired general couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. His fear of Zhou Ziwei had seeped into his very bones, and he dared not be careless in the slightest. Seeing his guards still standing by, weapons in hand, watching him menacingly, he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. He was truly worried that one of his proud elite guards might suddenly lose their temper and attack the two without his orders... That... that consequence was something he, an old man, could not afford to bear.
So the poor white-haired general hurriedly issued an order for the entire army to retreat, leaving only this one plane in place.
Furthermore, no one is allowed to approach within ten kilometers of this aircraft with weapons; those who disobey will be subject to military law.
This order almost made the old general's guards' eyes turn red with rage. These men were all old subordinates who had followed the old general through thick and thin for many years. Now, seeing that the old general was going to be alone with two extremely dangerous people and not letting them, his personal guards, get close, how could they feel at ease? However, after the old general's stern rebuke, the soldiers of the guards knew that the old general was serious and was doing this voluntarily, and was not forced to give the order under duress.
Given the white-haired general's imposing presence, his old subordinates dared not disobey. Despite their reluctance, they could only obediently accept the order and then retreat...
After dismissing his subordinate guards, the white-haired general walked down the gangway with even greater courtesy to personally greet Zhou Ziwei and Zhuihun, and then respectfully invited the two into the cabin.
Actually, this plane originally had a self-destruct device. The white-haired general planned to lure Zhou Ziwei and Zhuihun into the cabin first, and then wait and see how the negotiations went. If... the negotiations between the president and the two of them could not be completed smoothly, or if the demands of these two "thugs" were too high, so high that even the federal government could not afford them... then the white-haired general would resolutely activate the self-destruct program on the plane and perish together with Zhou Ziwei and the others.
You should know... three of the more than one hundred small nuclear bombs they brought this time are on this plane. Once this plane self-destructs, then... with the power of those three nuclear bombs, even an iron man made entirely of metal would be instantly vaporized and die without leaving a trace.
However, upon hearing Zhou Ziwei reveal that the artificial intelligence possessed independent thought and superior intelligence, the white-haired general hastily deactivated the aircraft's self-destruct mechanism... Seriously... if killing these two culprits could end this terrifying threat, the white-haired general would absolutely be willing to sacrifice his old bones and engage in a mutual destruction scenario with Zhou Ziwei and his companion. But... if doing so would only lead to the extinction of the entire Earth and all of humanity... then how could the white-haired general dare to do such a thing?
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 648: I Will Definitely Kill You
Having learned of Zhou Ziwei's importance at this moment, the white-haired old general, who always considered himself to be responsible for the peaceful development of mankind, dared not let Zhou Ziwei be threatened with any life. It is believed that now, not only would the white-haired general himself not dare to kill Zhou Ziwei, but even if someone wanted to assassinate Zhou Ziwei, the old man would not hesitate to risk his life to save him. In short, he would not let Zhou Ziwei die in front of him.
The white-haired general carefully invited Zhou Ziwei and Zhuihun onto his plane. After they were seated in the specially modified cabin, which resembled a luxurious modern office, the general first had his assistant, Miss Kelly Moggie, serve each of them a cup of coffee. Then, he waved for Kelly Moggie to disembark before turning on the video phone and reconnecting with the president…
This round of talks lasted for nearly half an hour. Finally, the two sides reached a consensus. The white-haired general, who had been on tenterhooks all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately arranged for four luxury cars to escort Zhou Ziwei, Zhuihun, and the families of the three special agents, along with more than a dozen other people, to Huaston City. He then hosted a banquet for them at a national-level hotel with the highest honors.
The president also took time out of his busy schedule to visit and comfort the prisoners who had been held in the military camp just a few days ago.
Although the families of the special agents who had just escaped their suffering were very resentful of the head of state, he was, after all, the ruler of a country, so they dared not be too disrespectful to him and could only force a smile to deal with him carefully.
After the banquet, Zhou Ziwei and Zhuihun and the others did not stand on ceremony and stayed at the more luxurious and grand hotel. They even called Emily and Chu Qiutang over.
Of course... to avoid embarrassing the president, Zhou Ziwei waited until the president had taken his leave before calling Emily and the others over.
When Emily and Chu Qiutang saw Zhou Ziwei in the hotel room, they were both taken aback. Chu Qiutang's face immediately lit up with immense joy.
The Zhou Ziwei she knew best was the Zhou Ziwei she was familiar with; the Zhou Ziwei who truly moved her heart. Although these past few days... Zhou Ziwei had only become as short as a child, his male functions had not deteriorated. The two of them could still do things that young men and women love to do together.
But... every time a man whose body was as heavy as an ox, yet who looked like a five or six-year-old child, rode on her body... Chu Qiutang always had a very strange feeling.
This unusual experience gave Chu Qiutang a strange sense of excitement, but it also made her feel guilty, as if she were seducing a minor.
Uh... if they were secretly photographed while they were being affectionate... then they would probably become famous all over the world overnight because of such photos.
And now... Zhou Ziwei, who wasn't very handsome but was cool and manly, has finally returned, and has finally become the person Chu Qiutang knew. Chu Qiutang immediately burst into tears of excitement.
Seeing Chu Qiutang inexplicably burst into tears, Emily, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. Then, a strange man appeared before them, seemingly familiar yet strangely affectionate, grinning lewdly at them. Emily immediately glared at him. Although Zhou Ziwei made her feel close, this only made her more uncomfortable. These past few days, her nominal father, Zhuihun, had been acting strangely, constantly instilling unhealthy ideas in her, saying things like girls have to get married when they grow up, marry a man of similar age, and then follow him wherever he goes…
Emily is as innocent as a newborn baby. Right now, the only people she is closest to are Zhuihun and Zhou Ziwei. As for Chu Qiutang, although she is inseparable from him every day, she is slightly inferior to him in terms of feelings.
Children are naturally somewhat wary of strangers. According to Zhuihun, she will have to live with a man almost every day, 24 hours a day, which makes her feel uneasy.
Actually, it's not fair to blame Emily for being timid. It's mainly because Emily is just too beautiful. She's so beautiful that people can't help but drool over her. When she walks down the street, passersby can't help but cast greedy and hungry glances at her, like a wolf that hasn't eaten a full meal in half a year suddenly seeing a lively little rabbit. They wish they could just swallow this beautiful little prey whole.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at like that all the time, so Emily instinctively felt a sense of repulsion towards all strange men.
Then Zhuihun said that no matter what happens to a girl in the future, she will get married and live her life with a man... So... Emily, feeling helpless, carefully asked Zhuihun if she had to find a man to live her life with, could she live her life with Zhou Ziwei? In fact, when Emily said this, she may not have really thought highly of Zhou Ziwei, and she may not have really thought that Zhou Ziwei was so great.
But... for Emily, a poor child who has only been in this world for a few days, her social circle is too small, and she comes into contact with too few people.
She only knew two men, and Emily knew that a father and daughter could not live together as husband and wife for life, so... she could only put her hopes of a lifelong companion on Zhou Ziwei.
Unexpectedly, Zhuihun flew into a rage upon hearing this. He first scolded Emily severely, saying that no matter what, he could not let her marry Zhou Ziwei, that shameless scoundrel.
Then she kept asking Emily if Zhou Ziwei had taken advantage of her while teaching her those natural energy techniques.
Finally, they said that Emily is still young and hasn't met a man she truly likes yet. As she meets more men in the future, she will naturally find the kind of man who can move her heart.
Then Emily will find that some men she feels an instant connection with, and those men are likely to be her soulmate... the men she can entrust her life to...
Now, when Emily sees Zhou Ziwei, she feels a genuine sense of kinship. But instead of making her happy, this frightens her greatly... She is afraid that this man is truly her soulmate, the man she is destined to spend her life with.
If that were the case... then she might be separated from her current little brother, who was also her little master, forever, and never see him again. But... just thinking about such a consequence filled Emily with a deep sense of fear.
Therefore, Emily is more wary of men who can evoke her affection or make her feel close to them.
Now, when Emily sees Zhou Ziwei, she naturally feels a strong sense of kinship. However, for Emily, this kinship is also equivalent to a sense of crisis, because deep down she doesn't want love at first sight. She just wants to stay with her little master, who is like a brat, and live a happy life together.
The more wary poor Emily became, the more dissatisfied she was with Zhou Ziwei's appearance. Seeing Chu Qiutang burst into tears the moment she saw him, as if he had offended her, Emily decided to seize the opportunity to vent her anger. She cautiously asked Chu Qiutang, "Sister Xiaotang, tell me what happened? Did this lewd-looking brat bully you before? Tell me… I'll burn him to a crisp!"
As Emily spoke, she defiantly extended a finger and drew a line at Zhou Ziwei. Then, she flicked her finger, and a small flame several inches long immediately appeared at her fingertip. The flame flickered and its core slowly contracted inward, clearly showing that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"Hey... Emily, don't do anything rash, he is..." Chu Qiutang wanted to warn Emily, but Emily's mind was clearly not on her side. Seeing that Zhou Ziwei hadn't shown even the slightest fear or apprehension after the flame blazed on her fingertip, she was furious. Without thinking, she flicked the tiny flame she had just conjured, sending it flying straight towards Zhou Ziwei...
Zhou Ziwei's smiling face froze instantly, his expression turning icy and furious.
