Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 123: A Close Shave: The One After Your Life!


Late at night, under the flickering neon lights of Huadu City, a black shadow streaked through the night sky.

Following close behind, another red phantom undulated within the darkness, passing one after another.

Below, a stream of vehicles and horses, throngs of pedestrians, filled the luxurious and romantic metropolis, where the extravagant nightlife was just beginning.

Ordinary people continued with their repetitive lives, white-collar workers shed the day's fatigue and entered nightclubs, venting and releasing the day's pressure.

The wealthy reveled in drunken opulence, while police officers, still harboring passionate loyalty, were chasing criminals in every dark corner.

Unknown to all, hidden in Huadu was a human-shaped nuclear warhead crucial enough to draw the attention of the world's major organizations, and at this moment, its heart was filled with a violent and murderous desire.

"King Yan, don't be impulsive, you've finally attained a peaceful life..." On a rooftop, the Female Battle Lord, having pursued Lin Hai with great difficulty, urged in haste.

At this moment, under Lin Hai's bronze-colored mask, the only visible eyes reflected a chilling, soul-piercing coldness in the moonlight, which was forbidding to approach.

"Battle Lord, mind your own business!" A hoarse and domineering voice came from under the mask.

"You, I am your second wife, why can't I manage you!" The Battle Lord stamped her foot in agitation.

"That person, I must kill!"

Those who dare touch Ouyang Xiaoya must die!

As the wind surged, the billowing black trench coat flashed once more; Lin Hai had already shot out like an arrow from a bow, stepping into the dark night.

"Hmph! Always so good to each of your women, I really don't know if that's good or bad about you!" The Battle Lord actually liked Lin Hai for this very reason—domineering, fierce, unwavering in his devotion to the women he loved.

With a flutter of red silk, the figure of the Battle Lord also disappeared into the night.

Since she could not stop Lin Hai, as his woman, she would naturally follow closely behind him, ready to face any danger, unhesitatingly!

......

Elsewhere, Yu Haijing stood inside a room, looking arrogantly and excitedly at the beautiful Cool Ouyang, who appeared both furious and desperate, glaring coldly at him.

"Ha ha, President Ouyang, your eyes stir endless desires in me."

Yu Haijing licked his lips, eager to try.

"Yu Haijing, you will not die a good death. I, Ouyang Xiaoya, swear that as long as I live, I will never let you go!" Ouyang Xiaoya rebuked coldly, grinding her teeth.

"Oh? True to be President Ouyang, you've got character, I like that."

"I will not let you go either, especially tonight. I've taken the 'Desire to be Immortal' pills that I acquired for a high price from a powerful group, and I guarantee you'll... ha ha ha!"

Yu Haijing toyed with two flickering, eerie red pills in his hand.

The Yu Family, which he belonged to, had gotten where it is today inextricably linked with a mysterious organization.

Yu Haijing was not clear on the nature of the organization, but he knew deeply that it was very expansive and ancient, with influence sprawling across every corner of the world.

It was also with the support of this power that the Yu Family could stand firm in Huaxia and compete with other major influential families.

He didn't even know the ultimate purpose of this organization.

All he knew was that the organization once had many names, but now, it seemed to be uniformly named "RX Organization."

The two "Desire to be Immortal" pills he held were purchased with a price through his family, from RX Organization's mysterious stronghold within Huadu City.

"Desire to be Immortal" — aptly named — ingestion causes one's entire body to become feverish within seconds. When the effect peaks, all the senses become incredibly heightened. Even the slightest touch would feel ten times more intense than normal; moreover, it also temporarily robs the user of thought and reason, acting purely on primal instinct.

What's most miraculous is that once the effects begin, though bereft of thought and reasoning, one becomes like a spectator, vividly recording in their mind everything they do while under the influence of the drug, so there's no worry about being unable to recall the delightful experience after fully indulging.

This kind of drug is simply a must-have for the top playboys.

"Mr. Yamamoto, are you ready?" Yu Haijing asked, breathing heavily.

The Japanese man, Yamamoto, nodded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yu, the video equipment is all set and ready to go at any time."

Yu Haijing licked his lips again and muttered: "Next, I wonder what President Ouyang of Huadu, who is so eagerly adored and pursued by countless rich playboys, will be like?"

"Hahaha, Ouyang Xiaoya, I will definitely make you famous!"

Yu Haijing began to laugh wildly with a touch of madness.

Ouyang Xiaoya fought the urge to let tears roll down her cheeks continuously.

She couldn't cry, at least not in front of a beast, as it would only make her seem weak.

Even if she really was defiled by this beast, she could not show any weakness.

Weakness would only make her assailant enjoy the thrill of conquering her more.

"Bite your tongue and commit suicide!"

A defiant resolve flashed in Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes.

Yu Haijing let out a cold laugh: "President Ouyang, rest assured, you don't have any strength left now. It's impossible for you to bite your tongue and commit suicide!"

As if he had perceived Ouyang Xiaoya's intent, Yu Haijing laughed in a beastly manner, as though everything was under his control.

Yamamoto actually took out a camera to film.

This was clearly a contingency plan in Yu Haijing's scheme: he could use the tape as blackmail if Ouyang Xiaoya ever dared to disobey him, so she wouldn't dare to resist.

"Here I come, beauty, come on, I'm going to feed you something nice." Yu Haijing slowly took out a reddish pill in his hand.

Ouyang Xiaoya clenched her teeth, utterly refusing to comply, her eyes filled with anger and despair.

"I'm sorry, Lin Hai, though you were a bit annoying, I am your fiancée. From now on, we can only be strangers. I don't ask for your forgiveness, just hope you won't be too upset, I'm sorry..."

Suddenly, in Ouyang Xiaoya's mind, memories of Lin Hai's sunlit smile as he looked at her happily, and his grimacing face when she occasionally vexed him, along with the sleazy expressions that left her stamping her feet in anger, came flooding back. But these images shattered, leaving only humiliation and rage. The next second awaited her was an extremity of terror unlike anything she had ever known.

The red pill had already reached the edge of Ouyang Xiaoya's mouth, her powerless lips forcefully pried open. As the pill was about to melt upon entry, it was on the verge of entering her mouth.

"Clang!" echoed sharply.

The pill slipped from his grip and flew away from Ouyang Xiaoya's mouth.

Ouyang Xiaoya suddenly opened her eyes wide in shock, to find that at some point, a tall man in a black trench coat, wearing an ancient bronze ghost mask stood before the room's floor-to-ceiling window, along with those unforgettable eyes that burned with rage and utterly void of any other emotion, nearly demonic.

Yu Haijing didn't know how, but a moment ago, his right hand holding the red pill was now pierced with a peculiarly shaped curved knife, resembling a crescent moon or the fang of some creature, with a series of ancient, special characters engraved on its hilt.

"Who are you!" Yu Haijing, not minding the pain in his arm, was tremendously shocked.

"The one who's come to take your life!" A hoarse voice came from beneath the mask.

Ouyang Xiaoya looked at the mysterious person in front of her—both unfamiliar and familiar, who she had met only once before, who had once saved her life. A new hope was rekindled in her eyes, which had been filled with despair.
