Zhou Ziwei smiled slightly and said, "There are many things I can do. I can even make you fly in the sky. Do you believe me?"
"Tch... Only a fool would believe your nonsense. Do you think you're a magician? Or do you think you're Superman?" David curled his lip at Zhou Ziwei with disdain, deliberately sticking out his thumb and pointing it downwards, showing an expression of utter contempt.
Zhou Ziwei chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet? If I can make you fly, you'll come to China with me, okay? If I can't, then... I'll accept any punishment you give me, how about it?"
As Zhou Ziwei spoke, he turned his gaze to Rose, the little girl standing to the side who was also looking at him with curiosity, and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to gamble together? I can make you fly like an angel, do you believe me?"
The little girl Ross certainly wouldn't believe it. She was already thirteen years old. Children in the US mature earlier, and at thirteen, she was already quite beautiful, with her breasts already showing. She looked like a lovely young girl.
However, no matter how mature her body was, she was still only a thirteen-year-old child. She still had a lively personality and a childlike heart, and she became quite excited upon hearing Zhou Ziwei's words.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay... If you can really make me fly, I'll be willing to be kidnapped by you, you little liar. But if you can't, then... I'll make you my sex slave from now on. How about it, do you dare to agree?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwei nearly collapsed to the ground. What… this little girl actually wanted him to be her sex… slave… This… I’d heard that the US was very open about sex, but even the most open country has its limits! A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl wanting to be a sex slave… this is just too outrageous! How can anyone live like this… And what’s even more unbelievable is that this little girl said it so confidently, so proudly, and dared to say it in front of her mother and grandparents… Wow… truly a powerful and open country…
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? He's your father's friend, aren't you afraid of embarrassing him?" Mrs. Robert was so angry that she flicked Ross's forehead hard.
"I don't believe a little kid like him could be Dad's friend. Someone like him is only fit to hang out with David. He can't even make up a proper story, yet he made me feel like I was flying like an angel... Humph... This kind of nonsense might fool a three or four-year-old, and he actually thinks he can trick me with this kind of nonsense... Really, he underestimates my intelligence! Ah... God... What's going on!"
Just as Ross was looking down on Zhou Ziwei with disdain, she suddenly felt her body lighten, as if an invisible hand was supporting her from below and slowly lifting her into the air. The feeling of floating and soaring through the clouds initially intoxicated her, but when she realized that she had unknowingly lifted her body about three or four meters off the ground, she couldn't help but let out a startling scream.
The villa has two floors. The second floor has fewer rooms, while this living room connects the first and second floors. This means that the living room is six or seven meters high. So, although Rose floated up three or four meters, she still did not touch the ceiling. This gave her a feeling of being neither up nor down.
Just as Rose was screaming in surprise, she suddenly heard bursts of laughter from the side. She turned around and saw that not only she, but also her brother David had flown up and was floating not far from her.
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 616: A Grand Array
When they suddenly felt themselves flying into the sky, the little boy David and his sister Rose reacted very differently. David showed no fear at all; on the contrary, he was very excited.
And he didn't just float there still; instead, he rolled and somersaulted in mid-air like a little monkey. Strangely, no matter how much he struggled, he never fell to the ground, as if there was an invisible, soft bed beneath his body.
Robert's wife and in-laws were completely dumbfounded. They weren't unsophisticated people, but even the most worldly-wise people wouldn't have the chance to witness such a scene. In movies, you could see similar shots of Spider-Man or Batman, but everyone knew that was fake, created using special effects. Seeing this in the real world was a completely different experience.
"Ah... I really flew up, is this... is this real?" Rose was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Then she subconsciously swayed her body and found that her feet seemed to be supported by an invisible airflow. Although the airflow seemed to be spinning rapidly under her body, it was extremely stable. Her feet did not sink into the airflow and spin with it.
"Haha...of course you can fly."
Zhou Ziwei laughed and said, "But don't forget you've already lost the bet to me. You have to accept the consequences of a bet!"
“Of course, of course…” Ross saw his brother tumbling and rolling in mid-air and couldn’t help but feel a little excited. So he casually replied, “Of course I, Ross, won’t go back on my word. Don’t worry… From now on, I will be your sex slave.”
"Thump—" Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwei plopped down on the ground.
This girl was so fierce that Zhou Ziwei couldn't maintain his balance at all.
His fall caused the two small vortexes controlled by his soul consciousness to plummet straight down. The siblings, who had been playing happily in mid-air, were suddenly plunged into tragedy, as if they had stepped into thin air and were falling off a precipice. The two children screamed in terror, their faces turning green with fright. After all, Zhou Ziwei had just lifted them three or four meters into the air with his vortexes. This height might not be a big deal for some well-trained soldiers, but the people falling from that height were two children... They were terrified even jumping from a meter high, let alone this height.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwei's reaction wasn't too slow. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he quickly regained control of the two vortexes that were about to dissipate, and finally managed to catch the two children again when they were less than a foot from the ground.
With two loud "thumps," the two people's feet or other parts of their bodies crashed heavily into the invisible vortex of air, as if they had fallen into a ball of cotton. They did not feel any pain at all. Instead, their bodies were bounced up into the air for another ten centimeters or so before they fell back down. Supported by the two vortexes, they landed steadily on the ground, little by little.
"Oh... God bless!" The two elderly people were terrified when they saw their grandson and granddaughter almost fall from such a height. When they saw that the two children were alright, they exclaimed in surprise. They didn't forget to pray to God first, and then rushed over, each of them hugging one child and carefully protecting them in their arms.
The old lady hugged her granddaughter and checked her over. Seeing that her granddaughter didn't seem to be missing any limbs, she felt relieved. But still feeling a bit scared, she turned and glared at Zhou Ziwei, saying, "You little brat, you have no sense of propriety. Even if you are really powerful and have extraordinary abilities, you can't joke around with the lives of my granddaughter and grandson like this!"
That's just how old people are. If it weren't for the near-accident involving the child, they would probably be filled with awe and fear at Zhou Ziwei's miraculous display. After all, what Zhou Ziwei showed was far beyond their comprehension. If Zhou Ziwei claimed to be an envoy sent by God, they probably wouldn't have any doubts and would treat him with the same reverence they would show to God.
However, because their child was almost killed by this "messenger of God," they immediately flew into a rage, completely forgetting how terrible this person was, and even dared to speak ill of him.
Zhou Ziwei rubbed his nose helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... This... it was a momentary lapse... haha... just a momentary lapse. This... mainly it's because your granddaughter... what she said was too outrageous. Didn't you see me trip and fall? Uh..."
"Ugh, what did I say that was offensive?" Ross immediately protested, jumping out of his grandmother's arms and saying defiantly, "I was just keeping my word and promised to be your sex slave. What did I say that was offensive?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwei felt dizzy again, and couldn't help but rub his forehead with a bitter face, saying, "Big sister...can't I just call you big sister?"
"Tch... She's older than you anyway, what else can you call me but 'Big Sister'?" Rose accepted the title of "Big Sister" as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which surprised Zhou Ziwei once again.
You little brat, you think you can be my older sister? My age from both my past lives combined is more than enough to be your father.
Zhou Ziwei, a grown man, couldn't possibly argue with such a young girl about such a form of address, so he could only evade the issue, saying, "Um... you seem to have misremembered! When we made the bet earlier, I only said... if you lost, you would willingly let me take you to China. As for sex slavery and all that... I never mentioned it. You were the one who said it. Don't go around saying it when we get back to China... If your dad finds out, he'll think I'm a pervert... that I wouldn't even spare a little girl like you... wouldn't I be considered a beast?"
Upon hearing this, Ross immediately covered her mouth and burst into laughter, her two breasts heaving up and down like waves, a truly spectacular sight.
Zhou Ziwei stared, his eyes wide, thinking to himself: Is this little girl really only thirteen? These Americans develop way too early! This little girl… at such a young age, she already has such a figure, she's even more developed than seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls in China…
Zhou Ziwei was momentarily distracted, unaware that Ross had caught him red-handed. Following Zhou Ziwei's gaze, she looked at herself and saw her breasts still bouncing up and down. She immediately blushed with embarrassment, lightly spitting out a curse, and said, "You still say you're not a pervert... Where are you staring at me, you little rascal? Humph... No wonder Mom always says you Chinese are all hypocritical. You clearly want it, but you insist on refusing. You're clearly proud inside, but you have to act humble on the surface... I think you're just like that. You just said you didn't want me to be your sex slave, so why are you staring at my breasts like that... You little pervert... Are you getting greedy and regretting it now... Tch... But too bad, you already refused. I won't be your sex slave anymore, unless you want to be my sex slave... then there's room for negotiation!"
"You brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Hearing Ross spout such unrestrained nonsense, Mrs. Robert felt both ashamed and angry. She stepped forward and pinched Ross's delicate little face hard before turning to Zhou Ziwei with a smile and saying, "I'm so sorry, we've spoiled this child. Please... don't mind!"
Zhou Ziwei coughed lightly, rubbed his eyes, trying to avoid looking at the little girl's most eye-catching parts, and then said seriously, "I believe you no longer see me as an ordinary child! Besides... since you've already discovered that many people are monitoring this place near your home, you should naturally understand... the M country government won't let you go. The reason they haven't taken action against you yet, or locked you up, is simply because they still want to use you to arrest a few people, such as... people like me who came from over there. So... if you don't come with me today, then... I'm afraid you'll inevitably lose your freedom completely before tomorrow morning, because... you'll no longer be of any use!"
“Impossible!” Robert’s father-in-law shook his head stubbornly and said, “Country M is a country that values democracy and freedom. How could our whole family be implicated because of one person’s affairs? Even if… even if Robert… he committed treason, that’s his own business. What does it have to do with us? How could we lose our freedom because of this? I believe that our government would never harm an innocent person.”
Zhou Ziwei shook his head and said, "Pursuing democracy and advocating freedom? Oh... these are just two slogans the government shouts to facilitate its rule. You don't really think that a powerless ordinary citizen like you can have any democracy or freedom in the face of the state's violent machinery, do you? Hmm... put aside everything else, just look at the huge losses the M army has suffered today because of your family. After we leave, if your family is still here... do you think the M army won't retaliate?"
As Zhou Ziwei spoke, he reached out and with a "whoosh," pulled open the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room, instantly revealing the view outside the villa to the group.
One military vehicle after another was driving in from outside the villa community. Among them were rifle vehicles, armored vehicles, and even two missile vehicles. Rows of soldiers had already jumped off the military vehicles in the distance and were now arranged in neat formations, holding various advanced weapons in their hands, and marching in orderly steps as they approached.
Several helicopters circled overhead, their high-powered searchlights crisscrossing and illuminating the open space in front of the small villa, making a large area around it as bright as day.
"God... how... how come there are so many M soldiers here?" The elderly couple and Mrs. Robert were stunned by the scene. Robert's father-in-law looked at Zhou Ziwei with trembling lips and asked, "Who... who are you? How... how could you have alarmed the M army to send out so many people and set up such a big formation?"
Zhou Ziwei smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that these M troops lost over 10,000 men chasing me a few days ago, so they're probably just trying to get revenge! That's why they made such a big fuss once they discovered my whereabouts... Actually, I've always been a very kind person and really don't want to kill too many people, but... they insisted on forcing me to take action, and I... really couldn't refuse their kindness!"
Zhou Ziwei suddenly pushed open the front window and said to Zhuihun, who was guarding outside the villa, "Since they're not going to stop, then you don't need to hold back anymore... I'll shoot down those iron birds in the sky for you first, and you can deal with the rest yourself! Kill them if you have to... Since they can brazenly deploy so many lethal weapons and troops in the city, why should we be polite to them? Kill... until they're scared!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuihun immediately protested, shouting, "Hey... brat, you really think I'm some kind of laborer? With so many people here, you're only responsible for taking care of a few Iron Birds? How can that be? At least you should share the burden with those missile vehicles! Otherwise... my 'Hundred Transformations' technique could detonate the entire missile vehicle in an instant, and we're so close to it. If it detonates, the area within a kilometer radius will probably be razed to the ground! These bastards have never seen warfare like this before, actually driving missile vehicles right up to the enemy's doorstep... How are they supposed to launch missiles now... Are all the commanders here idiots?"
Zhou Ziwei curled his lip upon hearing this and said, "They're not idiots... They're doing this on purpose... Heh... They probably already knew that even if they launched missiles at us, they might not be able to hurt us. But now they've quietly driven the entire missile vehicle right in front of us, so we're afraid to attack them easily, lest we accidentally blow up the whole vehicle. At that point, even we won't have time to escape. In Chinese terms, they want us to be hesitant to act, understand? If you're worried about blowing up those two missile vehicles, you can only try to avoid attacking them. But they've deliberately positioned their main force near those two missile vehicles. Doesn't that mean we'll have to hold back when we actually start fighting?"
"Oh, I see..." Upon hearing this, Zhuihun suddenly realized, and then said angrily, "That's too insidious! These bastards were trying to use these two missile vehicles to trap me... I don't care anymore, you can handle these two missile vehicles, I really have no way to deal with them!"
"No problem, leave it to me."
Zhou Ziwei readily agreed without a second thought, and the conversation between the two was relaxed and casual, without any sense of tension. It was as if the vast army outside was just a game of chess, and those lively, energetic people were merely pawns being manipulated...
Robert's family members were completely stunned when they actually saw what was happening outside.
Although they had all noticed the feeling of being watched when they went out and at home these past few days, they had only occasionally noticed a few unfamiliar faces. How many of them had actually discovered the surveillance personnel? Therefore, even though Robert's father-in-law knew about this, he didn't take it too seriously. He still held onto a sliver of hope for the M country government, thinking that as long as his son-in-law didn't return, his family would be safe and wouldn't be executed by law. But now, seeing this shocking scene, he was immediately terrified and lost all hope.
Putting everything else aside, even if they really didn't intend to harm innocent people like them, the fact remains that so many soldiers and planes have come here, and even missile vehicles have been driven right to their doorstep.
If a real fight breaks out, let alone the families of these traitors, how many of the truly innocent people living in those villas nearby would survive? The country is so democratic and free, surely no innocent civilian will be harmed? Uh… that's a lie, not even a ghost would believe it!
What are you all still standing here for?
Zhou Ziwei turned his head and saw the family of five standing there dumbfounded, staring at the thousands of troops outside without moving. He frowned and said, "Why don't you hurry up and pack your essentials? Things have come to this point. You're not going to insist on staying here, are you?"
“We want to leave…of course we want to leave too!” Robert’s father-in-law said with a bitter face, “But…our neighborhood is now surrounded by the army, how…how can we leave!”
Zhou Ziwei waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about that. If you want to leave, I can take you away. Go pack your things right away! Oh... but don't bring too much stuff. You won't lack anything in China, not even money. So just bring some changes of clothes, and... take some things that have important value or sentimental value. Don't take any other valuables. Um... remember? You only have five minutes. We'll leave immediately after five minutes..."
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 617: Hell...Heaven
Seeing a child who looked only five or six years old standing there facing the threat of a massive army, yet calmly chatting and laughing, gave Robert's family the illusion that this little guy, who was less than 1.2 meters tall, was not a child at all, but an old monster who had cultivated for thousands of years.
Robert's father-in-law, whose face was ashen, still seemed somewhat incredulous after hearing Zhou Ziwei's words, and asked again, "This... little friend, are you really sure... we... we can really escape from here?"
Zhou Ziwei was thoroughly annoyed by the old man, so upon hearing this, he simply ignored his question and coldly said, "You have four minutes and forty-five seconds left..."
Robert's father-in-law paused slightly upon hearing this, then said with some displeasure, "Hey... how can you talk like that, kid? I..."
Zhou Ziwei completely ignored the old man's intentions. Because of his relationship with Robert and the other agents, he would give a certain degree of respect to their families, but this respect would have its limits, and he could not endlessly give in to them.
Just like Robert, this father-in-law... Zhou Ziwei was really annoyed. If it weren't for Robert's sake, Zhou Ziwei might have kicked him and knocked him to the ground, giving him a good beating before talking about anything else.
Seeing that Robert's father-in-law was going to bother him again, Zhou Ziwei suppressed his anger and ignored him. Instead, he looked up at the helicopters circling in the sky.
After silently calculating in his mind, when the helicopters had all flown to the same area, Zhou Ziwei suddenly reached out and shouted, "You iron birds in the sky, come down here!"
When Robert's father-in-law saw that Zhou Ziwei wasn't answering him and was instead staring erratically at the plane flying overhead, he was both amused and annoyed. He said, "What's wrong with you, kid? Oh my... tell them to come down! Why do they listen to you so much? Do you think you're God? Really... ah... ah... ah... how could this be... God... this... this... this can't be real, can it?!"
Robert's father-in-law had only made a few sarcastic remarks when, as soon as Zhou Ziwei's shout fell, several helicopters circling overhead suddenly began to shake violently at the same moment, as if they were drunk. After a few swaying motions, they all lost their balance in the sky and crashed down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Two of the planes crashed directly into the dense mass of M Army infantry, with two loud explosions that sent up plumes of smoke and flames, instantly claiming countless lives.
After losing balance, the other planes continued flying a considerable distance due to inertia before crashing. It seemed they had fallen outside the market area, so it was unlikely to cause a major accident or harm innocent civilians. Zhou Ziwei, now enraged, was too lazy to care about anything else. These people weren't his compatriots anyway. When he was in a good mood, he wouldn't even kill the American soldiers who came to his door. But now, seeing the other side's endless harassment, he naturally couldn't care less about mercy anymore.
Since you guys like to die, then I'll grant your wish. After you die, I'll also send your souls on a journey to the afterlife, so you can die cleanly, okay?
Unfortunately, the last plane crashed right in front of Robert's villa. If nothing else went wrong, the huge iron bird would have crashed into the villa's roof, turning the two-story building into ruins.
As the helicopter loomed ever larger before their eyes, seemingly about to crash into their heads, Robert's family couldn't help but gasp or scream.
Zhou Ziwei turned around and glared at the group, somewhat annoyed, and growled, "Shut up, all of you! What are you yelling about? Hurry up and pack your things to get on the plane! You only have four minutes and eight seconds left. Let me tell you, I mean what I say. As soon as the time is up, I'll take the plane away immediately. If you don't want to leave, I don't care about you anymore. Anyway, I've already done what I promised Robert. If you insist on staying here to die, then it has nothing to do with me."
After Zhou Ziwei finished speaking, he ignored the group. To their astonishment, the plane that had seemed about to crash down on their heads was now inexplicably parked steadily in the villa's courtyard, as if it were a private jet that had come specifically to pick them up.
Upon seeing this, Robert's family couldn't help but gasp, then exchanged glances before simultaneously turning tail and running as fast as they could to their rooms, determined to seize the last four minutes to grab everything they needed.
That kid said... he would only wait five minutes in total, and they've already wasted a minute of that time. How could a few minutes be enough for them to pack their bags and move their belongings? This isn't just a casual trip; it's a complete move... Once they move, they'll never be able to come back. They'll take what they can, and who knows who will benefit from what they can't. Judging from the kid's expression, he clearly won't compromise in the slightest. He said five minutes, so it's five minutes.
Once the five minutes are up, this guy will definitely take off in his plane and leave without saying a word. Even the two underage kids could see that, so they wisely didn't try to negotiate or make any demands with Zhou Ziwei. They decided to use that time to grab as many of their valuables and treasures as possible.
Zhou Ziwei's soul-stirring roar stunned the pilots of the planes flying in the sky, thus easily crippling the enemy's air power in one fell swoop.
Seeing one of the planes flying directly towards the villa, Zhou Ziwei was overjoyed. This transportation was offered to him, so Zhou Ziwei had no reason to refuse. So, while he was arguing with Robert's family, he released a large amount of wind energy, which directly formed a powerful hurricane that caught the plane, which was out of control due to the pilot's unconsciousness, and brought it to a very stable and smooth stop in the villa's courtyard.
Just as Zhou Ziwei launched his attack, Zhuihun's side had already begun fighting against the densely packed infantry that were pressing in from all directions.
Although the enemy had tens of millions of troops while Zhuihun was only one person, Zhuihun never showed the slightest fear.
The ever-changing device in his hand, which had transformed into the shape of a combination lock, seemed to become excited at this moment, suddenly emitting a clear and melodious sound. Then, Zhuihun's hand trembled slightly, and one by one, windmill-like objects, seemingly made of a dozen or so steel bars, flew out of the briefcase. Each of these objects had three huge fan-shaped wings, and as soon as they flew out, they began to spin rapidly with a whooshing sound.
As those fan-shaped objects spun to a certain point, they instantly resembled invisible streaks of light, or swift whirlwinds. They circled around Zhuihun several times before he released twenty-four of these wind wheels in one go. With a clear shout and a flash of cold light in his eyes, the wind wheels seemed to have eyes and wings, shooting out in four directions and directly attacking the M-shaped infantry formations that were pressing in from all sides…
Light speed... another terrifying attack approaching the speed of light. This time, the small spiritual artifacts released by Zhuihun were clearly no longer the simple steel bars with simple structures. Each of the small spiritual artifacts controlled by Zhuihun this time was almost no worse than the strongest spiritual artifact possessed by an ordinary spiritual warrior. And Zhuihun actually controlled as many as twenty-four of these spiritual artifacts at once. This shows how powerful Zhuihun's strength is. In particular, he was able to successfully multitask, dividing one part of his soul consciousness into twenty or thirty parts, controlling each small spiritual artifact so flexibly that it seemed to have its own soul, eyes, and consciousness. This is even more remarkable.
The twenty-four small magical artifacts transformed into twenty-four streaks of light that were infinitely close to the speed of light. In the blink of an eye, they plunged into the enemy's camp and immediately launched a brutal massacre.
This time, the reason why Soul Chaser didn't just use simple steel rod-shaped magical weapons was mainly to enhance their destructive power. Now, each of these small windmill-shaped magical weapons is as long as a millstone, and its three wings spin rapidly, just like a meat grinder. As soon as it plunges into a densely packed infantry team, each rotation will take away at least three or four lives. And just as such a windmill flies from front to back along a certain trajectory, it will immediately open a bloody path, directly cutting hundreds of people in that path into minced meat, basically leaving no survivors.
The most terrifying thing about the Soul Chaser is when he shows no mercy. The King of Assassins' skills are ultimately used to kill people. In one fell swoop, in the blink of an eye, at least nearly a thousand people died under the Soul Chaser's twenty-four wind-wheel spirit weapons.
Although numerous troop transport vehicles could still be seen arriving from the several intersections outside, and many soldiers carrying guns were continuously entering, given the speed at which Zhuihun was killing, it was likely that these rapidly replenishing troops might not be able to keep up with Zhuihun's killing speed...
The twenty-four wind wheels, flying at near-light speed, seemed to consume no energy as they slaughtered those lives. Even after killing a hundred or so people in one go, the wind wheels' speed did not decrease in the slightest. Moreover, the destructive power unleashed by the four wind wheels at near-light speed was terrifyingly strong. In just a few seconds, the thousands of people who had just entered the vicinity of the small villa within three hundred meters were instantly slaughtered by Zhui Hun alone.
