"Release my wife, and I'll let you go one more time. Consider it another chance," Chen Zheng said calmly.

"The woman from last time wasn't important to you, so of course you didn't care much, and my threats were meaningless."

"But things are different now. This woman in my hands is your wife. Don't you think your offer is a little too simple?" Lone Wolf sneered, as if he had Chen Zheng completely under his thumb.

Now that I have his wife, it's time to make some real demands. Just let me go? What a joke!

"Tell me, then. What are your terms?" Chen Zheng's brow furrowed as he glanced at Xu Da. At that moment, Xu Da's fingers twitched slightly.

Facing Chen Zheng, Lone Wolf naturally missed this detail. He simply sneered and said, "My terms aren't too demanding."

"Hand over everything you got from the mystic realm, prepare a fully-armed armored vehicle, and get me safely out of Yunshan. Once I'm clear, I guarantee your wife will return to you unharmed!"

"And you should know that I'm a man of my word."

"Absolutely not," Chen Zheng said, his expression resolute as he shook his head without hesitation. "I've told you before. I, Chen Zheng, will not be swayed by anyone."

Even Lone Wolf was stunned. The captive Wei Zixuan bit her lip, staring at Chen Zheng in confusion.

"God of War Chen, are you making a mistake? I have your wife. Are you sure about this?" Lone Wolf asked, surprised.

He couldn't believe Chen Zheng wasn't the least bit worried. He scanned the man's face, searching for any crack in his composure. However, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find one.

Chen Zheng's expression was tranquil, as cold and merciless as if he were on a battlefield littered with corpses. His demeanor didn't change in the slightest.

"Lone Wolf, you know perfectly well how important and valuable this thing is. It might even allow me to touch the pinnacle of existence!"

"You can't possibly think I'd give up the chance to reach the zenith of martial arts for a mere woman, do you?"

"If you do, that just proves how foolish you are." As he spoke, a cold smirk played on his lips, his expression one of complete indifference.

Just for a woman? Wei Zixuan's face went deathly pale. She stared at the man in the rain as if he were a complete stranger. Her heart, like the rain itself, instantly turned to ice.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lone Wolf roared, raising the remote again. "I'm giving you ten seconds! If you don't hand it over, we'll all die together!"

"You know damn well that if I don't get it, I'm dead either way!" Lone Wolf's face was a mask of grim determination.

"Die together?" Zhao Feng shook his head with a mocking expression. He slowly closed his umbrella, and with a flick of his wrist, its inner canopy transformed into a wide screen.

"This is a new umbrella we've developed. It can withstand the shockwave of any blast below level ten," Zhao Feng said with a light chuckle. "Did you really think some explosives could harm our God of War?"

Hearing this, Lone Wolf's face turned white. He never imagined they would be so well-prepared.

"Chen Zheng, you bastard! You can ignore me, but Xu Da is here! He's my uncle's only son! If anything happens to him, I'll haunt you even in death!" Wei Zixuan screamed in a rage.

"Shut up!" Chen Zheng snapped. "I don't even care about you. Why would I give a damn about your cousin?"

"Who do you think you're threatening? I'm not afraid to tell you, if you die today, I'll immediately marry Miss Yuan of the Yuan family!

"Besides, there's always Wang Xue. My dear Xue'er is gentle and virtuous, ten thousand times better than a shrew like you!

"Most importantly, she doesn't have a shrill, shrewish mother. Did you think your Zhang Family was something special? I'll tell you the truth, I've had enough of all of you, especially your unreasonable mother!" Chen Zheng declared with utter derision.

"You..." Wei Zixuan's eyes flew open. Her body trembled uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face.

But then, she burst into hysterical laughter.

"So, Chen Zheng, you've finally said what you've been holding back for years, haven't you? Fine! I, Wei Zixuan, must have been blind to marry a monster like you!

"I don't care if I die today, but I'm telling you, the bond between us is completely severed! Even in the underworld, we will be nothing but strangers!" Wei Zixuan said icily, before turning and running towards the edge of the rooftop.

It looked like she was about to jump!

Lone Wolf's expression changed, and he lunged to grab her. Wei Zixuan is my only bargaining chip! If anything happens to her, I'll never get out of here alive!

Just then, a burly figure appeared in a flash, lashing out with a kick.

Lone Wolf never dreamed that Xu Da could still move. Caught off guard, a foot connected with his hand, sending the remote controller flying.

"Damn you!" Lone Wolf roared, retaliating with a vicious kick that sent Xu Da flying.

At that same moment, Zhao Feng had already darted forward and pulled Wei Zixuan back from the edge, while the remote controller clattered to a stop at Chen Zheng's feet.

In an instant, Lone Wolf's expression turned absolutely foul.

"Hahaha..."

Covered in blood, Xu Da slowly pushed himself up from the rain-soaked rooftop. He staggered over, gasping for breath. "Brother-in-law, how was that? Did I do okay? Can you teach me your techniques now?"

"You damn bastard! You were acting the whole time!" Lone Wolf's lungs were about to burst with rage.

He couldn't understand it. How could this guy get up again after being so badly injured? It was insane! Could it be... is he different from other people?
