Wu Suxiang led Cai Xiaowei and Ouyang Tianqi to his office to formulate a specific plan to deal with the Huatian Gang, as well as the upcoming gang meeting.
“You all go attend to your duties. There’s no need to guard here.”
Wu Suxiang dismissed his men and closed the office door.
“Have some tea.”
Wu Suxiang politely poured tea for Cai Xiaowei and Ouyang Tianqi.
“Don’t stand on ceremony. Why don’t you first tell us what you know about the Huatian Gang specifically.”
Cai Xiaowei said calmly.
Wu Suxiang stopped wasting words and got straight to the point.
“The Huatian Gang’s stronghold is somewhere in the eastern part of Jinling City. Their gang leader is Zhao Tianhua. After Third Master was eliminated by the gang leader, Zhao Tianhua fled there, and Third Master’s subordinates all went to join him. Later, he used some means to absorb the surrounding small gangs. Originally, I sent members from three branches to wipe them out, which should have been more than enough. But then, out of nowhere, three Japanese fighters of formidable strength showed up and beat back our people. That same night, the three branch leaders were assassinated by Black Rose, which led to everything that followed.”
Wu Suxiang sighed after finishing.
“Three Japanese?”
Cai Xiaowei found it very strange.
How did Japanese fighters end up helping Ah Hua?
Moreover, just three Japanese fighters had beaten back members from three branches.
Ouyang Tianqi whispered in Cai Xiaowei’s ear, “The military region has recently received intelligence that quite a few Japanese have infiltrated Jinling. Those three Japanese are either spies or ability users. They must be planning something big.”
Cai Xiaowei nodded, then pointed at Ouyang Tianqi and said, “Don’t worry. Leave those three Japanese to him.”
“Brother Ouyang is formidable, but isn’t he injured? Is it really okay?”
Wu Suxiang was a bit worried.
“It’s fine. Leave it to me. I can take on a hundred of those Japanese punks by myself.”
Ouyang Tianqi said arrogantly.
Wu Suxiang could only nod. Since Ouyang Tianqi was so confident, what more could he say?
“As for the operation…”
Just as Wu Suxiang was about to continue explaining his plan, Ouyang Tianqi suddenly raised his hand seriously, signaling Wu Suxiang to stop talking.
“Come out. I noticed you as soon as I came in. You carry a strong killing intent. I was going to wait and see when you would make a move, but I’ve realized you only came to spy on our secrets.”
Ouyang Tianqi’s voice was serious and sharp.
Just then, a girl emerged from under the desk across the room.
She looked at Ouyang Tianqi with wary eyes.
“Black Rose!”
Cai Xiaowei was shocked to see the girl who had tried to assassinate her back then.
“You know me.”
The girl’s smile carried killing intent.
“Of course I know you. You tried to assassinate Cai Shaowei.”
Cai Xiaowei clenched her teeth.
If it hadn’t been for her and Ah Hua back then, she wouldn’t have died.
“So, if I’m not mistaken, you must be Cai Xiaowei. What about it? I killed your brother. Do you want to take revenge?”
The girl looked at Cai Xiaowei with a smile.
“She’s not simple. Let me handle her.”
Ouyang Tianqi stood up and said to Cai Xiaowei.
“The aura you carry makes me wary. Who are you really?”
The girl looked at Ouyang Tianqi warily again.
“That’s what I want to ask you. You clearly have the aura of a zodiac sign, so why is it mixed with a repulsive energy? And with me standing right in front of you, you still don’t recognize who I am?”
Ouyang Tianqi was certain that something had happened to this girl that had made the pure aura of her zodiac sign impure.
“You know about the zodiac signs? Who are you really?”
The girl, exposed, became very agitated and angry.
“If I don’t subdue you today, I won’t be able to solve this mystery.”
Just as Ouyang Tianqi was about to gather his abilities, Cai Xiaowei suddenly stepped in front of him and stopped him.
“Leave this to me.”
“Don’t let your emotions get the better of you, even though she killed your brother.”
Ouyang Tianqi thought that Cai Xiaowei wanted to personally avenge her brother.
“You don’t believe in my abilities?”
Cai Xiaowei glared at Ouyang Tianqi.
Cowed by her glare, Ouyang Tianqi immediately backed down, waved his hand, and stepped aside.
“Take Gang Leader Wu out and close the door.”
Cai Xiaowei’s voice was full of authority.
Then, Ouyang Tianqi reluctantly took Wu Suxiang out of the office and closed the door.
“Brother, how can you be so whipped at a time like this?”
Wu Suxiang was dumbfounded. This brother had just left Cai Xiaowei in there alone.
“Who’s whipped?”
Ouyang Tianqi was a bit annoyed.
How was he whipped?
At most, he was “sister-whipped.”
“Brother, don’t get so worked up. I just meant that Black Rose is so formidable, is it really okay to leave Miss Cai in there alone?”
Wu Suxiang was speechless. Clearly whipped, but wouldn’t let anyone say it.
“It’s fine. She’s just dealing with Black Rose.”
After all, she was the Holy Maiden, even if not yet fully awakened.
“Well, since you have so much confidence in her, there’s nothing more for me to say. But you should still keep a close watch.”
Wu Suxiang reminded him.
Ouyang Tianqi nodded indifferently.
“You have quite a lot of nerve, knowing I’m Black Rose and still daring to face me alone.”
Seeing that Ouyang Tianqi had really left, the girl relaxed a little.
“Dealing with you naturally requires me to act myself.”
Although Cai Xiaowei knew from Ouyang Tianqi that Black Rose was one of the twelve zodiac signs, she still wanted to properly settle the old score.
At the very least, she needed to teach her a harsh lesson.
“Is that so? Then come on. Avenge your brother.”
The girl pulled a dagger from her sleeve and lunged at Cai Xiaowei.
She moved very quickly, leaving afterimages behind her.
A flash of white light appeared.
Cai Xiaowei mobilized part of her abilities to form an energy membrane, blocking the girl’s strike.
During her time with Ouyang Ruyue, Cai Xiaowei hadn’t just been eating, drinking, and sleeping.
She had spent a lot of time training her abilities properly.
She had already moved beyond the early stage of high-level ability user and was even close to the middle stage.
If anyone knew how fast she was improving, they would be so ashamed they would want to bang their heads against the wall and die.
“Not bad. You know abilities. Try this move.”
The girl drew another dagger and charged at Cai Xiaowei.
But as she approached Cai Xiaowei, she suddenly split into three afterimages.
Countless blade shadows slashed at the energy membrane.
Although the energy membrane was stable, it began to tremble.
The girl suddenly retreated a few steps, crouched down, and threw both daggers.
The daggers were covered in a black glow that made Cai Xiaowei feel a sense of danger.
Cai Xiaowei didn’t hesitate.
Huge white wings spread from her back, deflecting the two daggers.
“You have this move too. It seems I have no choice but to use my full strength.”
The girl stood up.
Her aura began to change.
Finally…
Nothing changed except that a pair of white rabbit ears grew on her head?!
Cai Xiaowei was dumbfounded.
Then she burst out laughing.
“You’re the Rabbit zodiac! How can the Rabbit zodiac’s transformation be so lame? Totally incomparable to the Dragon and the Snake…”
“You bastard! How dare you laugh at me! I’ll show you my true strength right now!”
A black glow, the same as what had covered the daggers earlier, emanated from the girl’s body.
It made Cai Xiaowei very uncomfortable.
This black thing must be the repulsive energy Ouyang Tianqi had mentioned that was affecting the zodiac sign.
The girl frantically struck at Cai Xiaowei with her hands and feet.
She was fast and effective.
Her body moved nimbly, making it impossible for Cai Xiaowei to touch her.
Cai Xiaowei seemed to lose patience.
A flash of holy light appeared.
She completed the Holy Maiden transformation.
The girl retreated more than ten steps and looked warily at Cai Xiaowei, who now had blue eyes, golden hair, and huge white wings, floating in the air.
“Who are you really? Your power does not belong to the Eastern ability world!”
The girl could no longer remain calm.
“Don’t worry about who I am. The black energy on your body disgusts me. I am going to purify it now.”
Cai Xiaowei hovered in the air, looking down at the girl.
