After a heated debate, Xiao Hu finally reluctantly agreed to Lu Zhaoming's plan, but he demanded to participate in the entire operation.
On the night of the operation, the darkness was as black as ink.
Lu Zhaoming arranged for Liu Feng to appear within Chi Xiao's line of sight, while simultaneously using the system to create false signals to interfere with the enemy's surveillance.
"How is it? Has Red Owl taken the bait?" Lu Zhaoming asked through the communicator.
"They've taken the bait," came the old wolf's voice. "Big Bear is leading a group of men and is chasing after Liu Feng."
"Alright, proceed according to plan." Lu Zhaoming's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile.
When Da Xiong arrived at the designated location with his men, he found himself trapped in Lu Zhaoming's carefully laid encirclement.
“Red Owl, your game is over.” Lu Zhaoming stepped out from the shadows and said coldly.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Liu Feng suddenly broke free of his restraints and pounced on the bear with all his might...
Just as Big Bear was grinning and preparing to finish off Liu Feng, he never expected that this guy would actually pull off a "tiger pouncing on its prey" move.
With a loud "bang!", the two collided solidly, rolled on the ground, and ended up with their mouths full of mud.
"Brother Feng!" Xiao Hu cried out in anguish, his eyes red with tears. He desperately wanted to rush over and help, but Lao Lang held him back tightly: "Calm down! Zhaoming has his own plans!"
Lu Zhaoming's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
He watched helplessly as Liu Feng used his last ounce of strength to fight for that sliver of hope.
In the end, Liu Feng collapsed, lying in a pool of blood, his eyes vacant, as if his soul had been ripped away.
"Withdraw!" Lu Zhaoming gritted his teeth and spat out a single word, his voice so low it sounded like it came from hell.
He knew that now was not the time for sorrow; an even more brutal battle lay ahead.
As soon as the order to retreat was given, Lu Zhaoming activated "Ability Amplification" without hesitation.
A powerful surge of energy instantly flowed into his body, making him feel as if he were omnipotent.
But at the same time, the system's warning sounded again, cold and merciless:
"Warning! The host must complete the hidden mission within 24 hours, otherwise the Judgment System will be permanently shut down!"
Lu Zhaoming had no time to heed this deadly warning.
He gazed into the distance, where the Red Owl's lair lay, the source of all evil.
His tone was low and firm, as if he were speaking to himself, or as if he were swearing an oath to some unknown entity: "No matter the cost, I will end all of this."
"There's still hope for him, isn't there?" Xiao Hu's voice trembled slightly as he grabbed Lu Zhaoming's clothes, his eyes full of expectation.
Lu Zhaoming did not answer, but just looked at him silently with a complicated and unfathomable look in his eyes.
