Chapter 101 - 100: It’s the End of the World, and You’re Talking to Me About a Bodyguard’s Ethics?

Chapter 101: Chapter 100: It’s the End of the World, and You’re Talking to Me About a Bodyguard’s Ethics?

"Damn it, a sneak attack, huh?"

"How dare you! You’re courting death!"

Mengde was so furious because he saw Brother Jingfu being surrounded and attacked by three burly men from a distance.

If that was all, it might have been forgivable.

But there was someone behind them, taking cheap shots!

That was something he couldn’t tolerate!

"Black Tortoise Defense!"

This was the Earth Superpower reward he had obtained from Fei’er last night!

It could unleash the ultimate energy of an Earth Superpower, granting invincible defense!

Most importantly, while his Space Black Hole could only be used to defend himself, the Black Tortoise Defense could be cast on others from a distance.

For example, right now, Mengde was able to cast it on Brother Jingfu from over ten meters away.

BANG!

With a sharp crack, a bullet shot straight toward Brother Jingfu.

Hearing the gunshot, the three burly men attacking him couldn’t hide the sinister smirks on their faces.

"Go to hell! Hahaha!"

Despair flashed across Brother Jingfu’s face. As someone with an Offensive Enhancement System superpower, his physical defense was still no match for Tiezhu’s.

Blocking this bullet was practically impossible for him.

But just then, an earthen-yellow barrier suddenly materialized in front of him.

This earthen-yellow barrier was quite magical.

Its surface shimmered with a dazzling luster, covered in mysterious runes.

It looked like the shell of a Divine Beast Black Tortoise, but it was exceptionally sturdy, with top-notch defensive power!

Its appearance not only blocked the bullet in the nick of time but also intercepted the superpower attacks from the three men surrounding him.

It left the trio stunned in their tracks.

But Brother Jingfu reacted quickly, immediately returning the favor.

One punch, one Little Kalami down. All three of the ambushing brutes were knocked out.

It was already too late by the time their remaining subordinates tried to open fire.

Because Mengde had arrived.

With one hand, he opened a Space Black Hole to block all the bullets.

With the other, he summoned the Hand of the Thunder God, augmented by the Sea of Thunder.

He was being ruthless, not holding back in the slightest.

With the power of a Tier Five Superpower User—a breakthrough he’d just achieved with Fei’er last night...

...dealing with this group was almost too easy.

Soon enough, Mengde swatted down the remaining lackeys one by one, as if they were nothing more than tiny shrimp.

This display left everyone present completely dumbfounded.

’Holy shit... The boss is incredible!’

The only ones left alive, Wang Yong and his two companions, couldn’t help but gasp.

’This guy is way too brutal...’

’There’s no point in even fighting. We’re definitely no match for him.’

Right now, all they wanted to do was curse their mothers.

’If we’d known Yulong Base had such a powerhouse...’

’...we wouldn’t have listened to that bullshit order!’

’With this kind of power, even our boss wouldn’t be a match for him!’

This was especially true for their leader, Wang Yong. The last time he came, he was sent flying by a single dog.

Still furious about it, he had specifically brought along two other Tier Three Superpower Users like himself this time.

But in the end, the three of them couldn’t even beat the gatekeeper.

Wang Yong was feeling incredibly aggrieved right now.

But Mengde had no intention of letting them go.

He had just heard from his men.

This was the same group that had trespassed at his Yulong Base before.

They had come knocking twice now. Mengde was determined to kill them.

"Start talking. Who sent you?"

"And where is your Survivor Base?"

As he spoke, his Telekinesis Flying Knife was already aimed at their foreheads.

If any of them made a single reckless move, he could take their lives at any moment.

He was asking about their nest, of course, to pull out the problem by its roots.

What he didn’t expect, however, was that these three were quite tough.

They all straightened their necks and puffed out their chests, looking as if they were about to bravely face martyrdom.

"Go ahead and kill us. We’d rather die than betray our boss."

"That’s right! We’re all professional bodyguards."

"Not selling out our employer is the bottom line in our line of work."

"..."

Heh!

Mengde couldn’t help but laugh.

’It’s the apocalypse, and you’re talking to me about the moral code of a bodyguard?’

’Isn’t that just pure bullshit!’

’Do you really think I was born yesterday?’

Watching the three of them constantly swallowing, he understood everything.

"Alright then! Let me rephrase."

"How about this: whoever talks, I’ll move this knife away from their head."

Mengde said with a grin, revealing his Wolf Grandpa smile.

Da Mimi knew that seemingly kind smile all too well.

That man had used that smile plenty of times to trick her... and have his way with her perfect legs!

"You only get one chance. I’ll count to three..."

"One..."

It had to be said, Mengde’s offer was very tempting.

The three men, including Wang Yong, glanced at each other.

While they were still hesitating, the countdown to death resumed.

"Three..."

The flying knife plunged straight into one man’s head.

Blood splattered onto the faces of Wang Yong and the other man.

The two survivors, Wang Yong included, were instantly stunned.

"What about two?"

"Oh, I ate two."

Mengde still wore the same smile, but to Wang Yong and his companion, it was like looking at the devil himself.

Terrified like this, the two of them no longer dared to mention anything about a bodyguard’s professional ethics.

They started talking, and fast.

It was like they were spilling beans, each afraid the other would say more.

And as they talked, Mengde came to understand the whole situation.

This group was a bunch of bodyguards from a place called the Midnight Bar in the Economic Development Zone.

After the apocalypse began, the Midnight Bar was taken over by their so-called boss.

He claimed it as his own territory.

Their reason for coming here was just as Mengde had suspected: their boss had sent them to seize Yulong Base.

It was just their bad luck that the first time, they ran into the Black Emperor and were nearly swatted to death by a dog’s paw.

The second time was even more unfortunate... they ran into him, a god of death.

"You can let us go now, right?"

"We’ve told you everything."

That much was true!

Mengde had just seen the two of them nearly come to blows over who could talk more.

"Of course!"

With a flicker of his Telekinesis, the flying knife vanished.

Seeing the knife that held their lives in the balance disappear, Wang Yong and the other man breathed a sigh of relief.

"So we can go now?"

As the two men looked on expectantly, Mengde shook his head.

"I can’t let you do that. I’m a man who keeps his promises."

"A word once spoken is like water once spilled."

Hearing this, Wang Yong grew anxious.

"But you just said you’d let us go..."

Mengde shook his head again.

"You heard me wrong. All I said was: if you talk, I’ll move the knife away."

With that, Mengde lost interest and simply gestured for Brother Jingfu and the others to take care of them.

"You bastard, you tricked us! I’ll fight you to the death!"

Realizing he wasn’t going to survive, Wang Yong became desperate. However, what awaited them was a hail of bullets...

The very bullets they had tried to use in their sneak attack were now being returned to their own bodies.

"Boss, what’s the next move?"

After finishing off the two men, Brother Jingfu walked over and asked.

"The next move... heh heh... is naturally to pull them out by the roots..."
