Chapter 216 Conquering the Three Islands, Hunting the Delugu Family!

To be precise, it was only those three people who benefited from the hair clip Chen Qing left for Fei Huo.

"I will definitely—kill you!"

Shuang Wei's eyes burned with a fierce, blood-red rage, and the heavy sword in his hand emanated a sharp sword aura that rippled outwards like waves!

The hunters around were instantly forced back several steps!

Mingmeng curled her lip and glanced at Shuangwei with disdain. Useless thing, she'd already been brainwashed by that old man.

However, everyone else except the four of them was controlled by Shining and turned against them.

Those who were controlled were not necessarily weak; it was just that their willpower was slightly weak, and Shining found a loophole to exploit. Their weaknesses were too obvious.

Shuangwei also has very obvious flaws, but she has a thoughtful and good friend by her side who helps her at all times.

The four of them were struggling to deal with more than a dozen hunters of the same level.

The only one present who didn't seem to be struggling was the law enforcement officer; he handled the situation with remarkable ease.

But its goal was to shine, and it had no intention of helping them whatsoever.

Although many of Shining's Cross Star members died, the only remaining new Cross Star member possessed extraordinary and powerful abilities.

For a moment, the law enforcement officers were unable to get even a step closer to Shining.

After all, it's hard to determine a winner when you're fighting yourself.

"That bastard, Shining, actually managed to find someone with such extraordinary abilities!"

Mingmeng chopped at Jinwu's neck with a hand chop. The instant her hand landed, her palm actually transformed into a sharp blade, leaving a deep wound on Jinwu's body!

Just as Mingmeng was about to advance again, a violent tremor suddenly came from his waist. The terrifying force made Mingmeng feel a sweetness in his chest, and his body flew backward lightly.

Shannie flashed a bright smile at Mingmeng, her eyes full of provocation, and slowly retracted her fist.

"Daddy, you little bitch!"

Mingmeng's legs transformed into slender, sharp metal limbs, scraping against the ground with a piercing, sharp cutting sound, leaving a very obvious mark.

Her extraordinary ability is obvious: she can metallize every organ and part of her body, transforming them into various shapes.

Retreating all the way to the wall, Mingmeng's metallic limb braced against the wall before he leaped, instantly heading towards Shanny!

Her metal limbs were incredibly sharp; even in Laru's mechanical manor, she could leave a deep imprint.

If Jinwu's extraordinary ability hadn't been defensive, his head would have been severed by Mingmeng just now.

The blade grazed Shani's face, golden hair falling to the ground. Shani covered her cheek and glared hatefully at Mingmeng, blood flowing from between her fingers.

Before Mingmeng could press her advantage, Jinwu arrived with another survivor.

Having missed the best opportunity to kill Shani, she immediately joined Jinwu and the other person in confronting Mingmeng. The cuts on her face were bloody and fleshy, making her look extremely horrific.

Mingmeng is in a dangerous situation right now, one person against three, no, four.

Laru was furious at Mingmeng's behavior.

The walls, which had been tightly sealed, suddenly opened, and countless machines with glowing red eyes poured out.

Why did you provoke him?!

Looking at the endless stream of machines that had appeared, Shuangwei couldn't help but curse.

They already had too many enemies, and now they couldn't spare any resources to deal with Laru. They also didn't know how Chen Qing was doing. As a result, they ended up drawing Laru's attention back to their side.

"How dare you say that to me? Wasn't that huge black patch on the wall made by Scarlet Fire?!"

Mingmeng gritted her teeth and replied, "How dare you say that to her!"

The addition of a large number of mechanical creations made Shuangwei and the others' situation even more difficult. If it weren't for the Cross Star coming in and stirring things up, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state!

Scarlet Fire glanced in the direction of the enforcers but said nothing.

The new member of the Cross Star won't last long at all; an A-class mechanical creation is not so easy to replicate.

She is now burning her life force to buy time for Shining.

What if her life force is completely burned out?

What else does she have to support that replica?

Without her, Shining is doomed.

He can't escape. Even if Shining wanted to run, would Laru let him go?

Moreover, if Shining really wanted to escape, Chen Qing's mechanical creation would probably kill him even at the risk of self-destruction.

Now, that guy is playing with the new members of the Cross Star like he's walking a dog.

Chen Qing really cherished it.

On the other side, Chen Qing was able to smoothly and continuously penetrate into Laru's mechanical manor because Laru had transferred a large number of mechanical creations to deal with Shuangwei and the others.

Soon, Chen Qing arrived at the core room of Laru Manor, which was probably where he kept his remaining human organs.

The silver-white wall was seamless, and Chen Qing could not find any opening.

However, it's not a big problem.

A massive A-grade turret named Tyrant appeared beside Chen Qing. The Tyrant was made entirely of Apocalypse Black Crystal, exuding a terrifying and brutal aura, and a chilling killing intent swept over him.

Even standing next to the tyrant, Chen Qing felt a subtle sense of being suppressed by him.

One shot of this thing... is worth a fortune.

A thousand taels of gold is a thousand taels of gold, and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of gold is also a thousand taels of gold, but it is definitely worth the price.

However, it's still heartbreaking to spend this money, and it's reasonable to suspect that they couldn't afford to maintain the machine, so they simply dumped it on Chen Qing.

The monthly maintenance costs are a huge expense, considering it's an A-grade mechanical product.

It's a bit of a waste for the Demon Dragon Pirates, since all the members of the Demon Dragon are humanoid weapons, except for former (current) member Zhao Fuli.

Shangjia certainly wouldn't let it fall into the hands of its enemies. Losing to Chen Qing can be considered as finding a good home for it.

Chen Qing will definitely make it do its best.

However, before Chen Qing could activate the tyrant, a door suddenly opened on its own in the wall that had previously been without a door.

Chen Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Why isn't Laru struggling at all?

She couldn't understand Laru's behavior. If it were her, even knowing that she had no chance of winning, she would definitely fight to the death to take a piece of the other's flesh!

Laru's mind is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary and extraordinary people, but it is also quite easy to understand.

For him, machines are paramount; they are more important than his own life!

He could not bear to see his most prized creation harmed; once the tyrant struck, it would inevitably cause irreversible damage to the Mechanical Manor.

Therefore, even if it meant paying the price with his life, Laru chose to give up the fight.

He hoped that his proudest work would be preserved.

Chen Qing entered the room, and surprisingly, there were no mechanical objects in the room where Laru was. The room was filled with the atmosphere of daily life.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of cooking, a corner of the living room was planted with lush green plants, a vase of brightly colored flowers sat on the table, and there were many mechanical toys for children to play with on the carpet.

The toy looks a bit old.

"We have guests? Little Raru, is this your friend?"

"Yes, Mom."

Laru responded obediently.

"Darling, welcome. You are the first friend that Little Raru brought back."

Chen Qing's arrival delighted the mechanical creature on the sofa. It welcomed Chen Qing and got up to get him some snacks.

Its voice sounds like a very gentle female voice.

Despite its cold, mechanical appearance, Chen Qing could feel the warmth of humanity emanating from it.

"She is my mother, Agatha!"

Laru proudly introduced Agatha to Chen Qing.

Although Agatha is just a machine, to Laru, Agatha is his mother.

From birth, Agatha Christie has been taking care of him and accompanying him as he grows up.

Laru is a descendant of the infamous mad family, the Delugu. His congenital deficiency is not exactly a disgrace to the Delugu family, but he is certainly someone they ignore.

If it weren't for Agatha's care and protection, he would most likely have died at the hands of his peers.

It was also because of Agatha that Laru so admired and was obsessed with machines.

Although many members of the Dlugu family are madmen, they still have a certain degree of compassion for their blood relatives.

Laru won't die.

Chen Qing stopped listening to Laru's rambling recounting of his tragic and dark childhood stories. Her gaze swept around the room, searching for Laru's whereabouts.

If we're talking about tragic childhoods, wasn't Chen Qing's childhood tragic too?

They're even competing with stray dogs for food.

Aren't those humans imprisoned underground by Raru miserable?

Many people never have the chance to see the sunlight in their entire lives.

There are many people in this world who are more miserable than him. Born into the Drugu family, he has already surpassed far too many people.

No one else has Agatha's protection.

With the protection of such a large family as the Delugu family, he could enjoy endless wealth and luxury, and he would never have to worry about survival in this generation. Yet he still felt miserable.

If it were someone else, they might really think that Laru is in a bad situation.

After all, everyone has their own pain, which outsiders cannot understand, but that's truly how they see it.

However, he encountered Chen Qing, a cold and ruthless person whom he could not understand at all.

What was Laru trying to express by saying all this to Chen Qing?

"Chen Qing, I'll tell you the location of my treasure vault, will you leave Agatha with me?"

"Laru pleaded."

Ah, found it.

Chen Qing didn't listen to a word Laru said, because Laru's rambling actually helped Chen Qing confirm Laru's location.

Behind that small door in the living room.

Chen Qing ignored the snacks Agatha offered and walked straight toward the small door.

Agatha's expression changed instantly, and she reached out to stop Chen Qing, asking...

"Darling, are you going to hurt little Ralu?"

"..."

Chen Qing glanced at it but did not answer. The cleaner appeared beside Chen Qing.

A combat nanny machine from who-knows-how-many years ago could never be a match for the Scavenger.

Laru knew this and immediately spoke up to stop him, his voice filled with panic.

"Rias, I can tell you Rias-neechan and Rena-neechan's weaknesses!"

“Rias is the richest, and Rena’s Seven Islands are the most prosperous. Once you know their weaknesses, conquering the Four Islands and the Seven Islands will be a piece of cake!”

"In exchange, you'll let Agatha go!"

"Furthermore, I hope you can take over this mechanical manor and transform it into the most powerful machine!"

Laru immediately proposed a deal; Mishima was already in Chen Qing's hands.

He knew he was doomed.

Chen Qing will absolutely not keep him.

However, if this manor could fall into Chen Qing's hands...

With Chen Qing's talent, she can definitely transform the manor into the strongest weapon!

Laru's manor houses the strongest combat machines, and just thinking about that possibility makes Laru excited.

Even if he were to die because of it and betray his own blood relatives, Laru would not regret it at all.

"I refuse."

Chen Qing's cold voice rang out, leaving Laru somewhat incredulous.

The Scavenger behind her mercilessly shattered Agatha's mechanical core, and the light in its eyes gradually dimmed.

Until the very last moment, Agatha kept saying that she wanted to protect Raru.

"No--!!!"

Laru let out a desperate cry. Agatha's death had caused him the most extreme pain, and his heart felt as if it were about to explode.

His relationship with Agatha may have been quite touching, but in Chen Qing's eyes, it was excessively boring.

It's just a machine.

The real Chen Qing is essentially a very cold-blooded person; she is completely incapable of empathizing with other people's emotions.

She couldn't feel Laru's earnest pleas or his pain at all; she only thought Laru was being noisy and couldn't understand him at all.

Even back on Rust Island and even earlier, she didn't actually feel sorry for those children. It was just that her reason told her that she should feel sorry for them and take some action for them.

Chen Qing's disguise was excellent, and her reactions and performance were outstanding; she could graduate perfectly.

Opening the small door next to the living room, Laru's heart and brain appeared before Chen Qing's eyes.

Without any hesitation, Chen Qing directly and completely destroyed Laru's two remaining organs with a single strike.

The desperate cries abruptly ceased, and the room became eerily quiet, save for Chen Qing's steady breathing and heartbeat.

Having dealt with Raru, all that's left is to kill Shining.

Chen Qing shut down all the defenses on the three islands, and the Wind Shadow Emerald Nest, carrying titanium crystal flying ants and Sailor Rabbit mini rabbits, entered the three islands through the underwater passage to begin their transport.

The islands of the Parti Archipelago are independent of each other, and Fengying Emerald's entry into the three islands did not alert the other island lords.

However, the disappearance of the Mishima fortifications made them realize that something was wrong.

However, they have no time to worry about what's happening on the three islands right now.

Countless ships suddenly appeared on the dark sea, surrounding the Parti Islands.

"Thank you for the news, Chen Qing."

On the lead ship, a middle-aged woman turned off her call with Chen Qing, a barely perceptible smile appearing on her lips.

Standing behind her were Gao Yueqiao, Zhiyu, Teng Wanlin, and others!

Who wouldn't want the territory and resources of a mature archipelago?

Especially for homeless survivors like them!

"Begin the attack!"

Miao Dingying, who originally belonged to an official organization of the Dragon Kingdom, solemnly addressed the survivors behind him!

"yes--!!"

The hunt for the Dlugu family has officially begun!
