Chapter 684: Hidden Threats and Dire Consequences

Book Chapter 684: You Know Too Much (Update 2)

Xiao Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

A surge of anxiety and fear was fermenting within his chest.

That indescribable sense of mortal danger made him feel as if he were reliving his final moments in a past life.

What could it be?

What could possibly threaten me now?

After warning Zhao Long and the others,

all available System Skills were activated.

Xiao Yu’s eyes darted around as he scanned the surroundings.

His mind was operating at full capacity.

Nothing… nothing at all… and it only took a second.

He employed his System Skills and abilities to inspect every inch of the office.

He found no trace of anything that could endanger him.

Nor did he uncover the source of that life-threatening peril.

How could this be?

Xiao Yu’s heart sank, his scalp went numb, and a deep chill set in.

His sister, his parents, his child… countless faces flashed through his mind.

I must find a way to save myself. I can’t just end it like this…

Suddenly.

Xiao Yu’s expression froze; his eyes went vacant.

At last, he identified the source of the danger.

Outside the office’s floor-to-ceiling windows, a fierce wind howled.

In the midst of the gale, a drone dove from the sky, hurtling straight toward the building.

As he watched, Xiao Yu noticed a cylindrical object suspended beneath the drone.

Atop the cylinder, a green light abruptly turned red.

With the change, a number began to flicker into view.

5…

633

In an instant, Xiao Yu snapped back to reality as his eyes lit up.

There was still time to salvage the situation!

Boom… Flea Bullet.

Cracks splintered the concrete beneath him.

His figure vanished from sight.

When he reappeared, he was outside the building, high above, moving in parallel with the drone.

At that moment, Xiao Yu no longer cared about hiding his formidable prowess; he didn’t feel the need to conceal himself any longer.

Facing mortal peril, he resembled a drowning man clutching desperately for a lifeline.

“Are you kidding me? We’re about to die and you’re still hesitating?”

The number on the drone’s cylinder shifted once again.

4…

Smack… Xiao Yu’s palm struck the drone’s body.

Yet he didn’t forcefully hit it; instead, he latched onto it firmly.

Squid’s Touch!

Midair, Xiao Yu’s body twisted rapidly like a turning bamboo shoot as he kicked fiercely.

Bang.

He planted his foot on the office building’s window frame.

Bear Force!

Like a cannonball, Xiao Yu’s form hurtled downward from the sixth floor.

3…

The terrifying impact sent both him and the drone plummeting in less than a second.

They crashed onto the ground below.

Boom!

A manhole cover shattered into pieces under the force of his impact.

(chdj) The drone and Xiao Yu tumbled into the sewer.

2…

Smack. His feet splashed into the grimy sewage.

He released the drone as his legs propelled him upward.

Bursting out of the sewer.

1…

Bang!

Xiao Yu’s feet hit the road.

Channeling all his power into his legs, he activated Flea Bullet once more.

In a flash, he vanished from sight.

0… Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted from underground.

In an instant, like a collapsing mountain, the ground split apart as dust and debris flew everywhere.

Lying on the ground and gasping for air, Xiao Yu watched the horrifying blast with a cold, detached gaze.

It’s good to be alive!

He observed as the earth split open, forming a massive crater over ten meters wide.

He listened to the terrified shouts of onlookers all around.

Xiao Yu exhaled a long, hard sigh.

Fortunately, there were no casualties!

But what if, in that split second, the drone had crashed into the office building? What might have happened then?

Even if he had stopped it in time and blasted the drone out of the building, what would the result have been?

Of course, that’s beside the point.

Xiao Yu’s gaze fell on several scattered steel balls near a massive crater about a hundred meters away.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the explosive device likely concealed hundreds, if not thousands, of steel balls.

Imagine if the bomb had detonated inside the office.

Not a single living soul would have remained…

Or picture it exploding mid-air outside the building.

Can you envision hundreds of steel balls bursting into the sky?

It was terrifying… Xiao Yu slowly sat up.

Detonator? Nitroglycerin? Or something else entirely?

Now free from the brink of death, his mind resumed racing.

It was obvious that the explosion had been aimed at that Young Man.

Or perhaps someone intended to capture him?

So…

Xiao Yu scanned the sky for any signs near the building.

The office where the Young Man was staying was on the sixth floor.

The only place to view the sixth floor clearly was from above.

When someone sees figures approaching to seize the Young Man, would they really decide to use the drone and bomb to wipe everyone out?

Or was it that they initially planned to kill the Young Man, with us merely caught in the crossfire? Xiao Yu’s heart blazed with murderous intent.

‘Boss’… planning to kill the Young Man?

Xiao Yu stood up and fixed his gaze on the building across from him.

To keep an eye on the office, the culprit would at least have to be on the sixth floor or above.

In the next moment.

Xiao Yu’s Falcon’s Eye locked onto a window on the seventh floor of that building.

A figure was peering at him through a telescope.

Moreover,

this person was also holding a Remote Control.

A grin of pure delight spread across Xiao Yu’s face.

He raised his hand to flash an international gesture.

He extended his middle finger.

“Bastard, if you manage to get away, I’ll damn well take your name!”

In an instant,

he sprang into action, dashing toward the building…

……

“This can’t be!”

At the office window, a Young Man’s face twisted in horror as he muttered in the language of Kimchi Land, “How could he possibly see me? This can’t be!”

In utter disbelief, he knew that not only had he been spotted, but the onlooker had also flashed him a middle finger.

Snap—without hesitation, the Young Man spun around and bolted from the room.

That was a monster—a true monster!

No one could survive a fall from the sixth floor.

Nor could anyone survive such an explosion.

And certainly, no one can run a hundred meters in just one second!

The Young Man was both terrified and exhilarated.

He felt as if he had uncovered an incredible secret.

If he could bring this secret back to his country,

it might earn him unexpected benefits.

Provided he could make it back to his homeland.

As the Young Man dashed into the corridor toward the elevator,

he demonstrated his cleverness—the elevator didn’t go directly to the first floor.

Instead, it stopped on the fourth floor before he stepped out,

then he sprinted to the third floor, re-entered the elevator, and descended to the first floor.

Why go to such lengths?

Misdirection!

If someone were guarding the elevator below, they wouldn’t suspect he came from the seventh floor.

They would believe he had come down from the third floor.

But,

the moment the elevator doors slid open,

the Young Man’s eyes instinctively contracted in shock.

He saw a monster standing right before him.

Yet, the Young Man maintained a composed facade, pretending nothing was amiss as he passed the creature.

Coolly, he walked past the monster.

But just as their bodies brushed against each other,

a sudden voice rang out.

“In our Dragon Kingdom, we say: ‘You know too much!'”

As the voice echoed, a hand landed firmly on the Young Man’s shoulder.

In an instant, the pale, lifeless-faced Young Man was dragged into the elevator.

“So…”

Xiao Yu glared coldly at the trembling Young Man with a slight, mocking smile.

“Who do you think I’m going to let off?”
