Chapter 74 Smash
There are differences even between top-tier and top-tier levels, let alone between high-level and top-tier levels.
Red Hair's three bodyguards also made it to the scene, and after three minutes they were lying on the ground for a second.
Those are three A-levels, Red Hair thought to himself.
The pheromones grazed sharply against her ear, like a skilled hunter teasing a lowly prey, clearly provocative and taunting. The red-haired man's pheromones went off the hook with just a slight collision.
Before coming, he thought Lu Xiwen was really pretentious. With such a high status, he didn't even bring a bodyguard wherever he went. He thought that if you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. But now it seems that they are the ones who got their shoes wet.
"My name is Chu Lin, and I'd like to get to know Mr. Lu," the red-haired man said.
Lu Xiwen said calmly, "Really? I didn't realize that."
"Then pay close attention to the road ahead." Chu Lin noticed that the person hadn't moved but was clearly heading in the direction they came from, as if ready to leave at any moment. "I know I was being presumptuous, and I'm sure I startled your Omega."
Pei Wu exhaled a puff of smoke, her voice low: "You don't recognize her, do you?"
"Hmm." Lu Xiwen stared at Chu Lin: "Whose side are you on?"
Chu Lin chuckled: "President Lu, with your ruthless methods of expanding your business, didn't you ever think about offending people?"
“There’s no such thing as ‘that.’ It’s just that others are blind and offend me,” Lu Xiwen continued. “To put it bluntly, otherwise the next wave of pheromone attacks will definitely pierce your body.”
"Don't be like that, Mr. Lu." Chu Lin's expression was very friendly: "Just consider it making friends..."
Before he could finish speaking, the wind suddenly tightened, and the water jets shot out like sharp arrows, overwhelming Chu Lin's wide-eyed gaze.
The leaves rustled and crackled under the sudden downpour. In contrast to Lu Xiwen's indifferent yet profound gaze, the smile on Chu Lin's face vanished. Almost in the blink of an eye, Chu Lin's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Pei Wu raised an eyebrow. Society nowadays has very strict control over Alphas. No pheromone collisions are allowed in public places. Alphas and above only make up a very small percentage of the population. Such a show-off is indeed rare.
But Chu Lin's display of skill was not for any other reason than to escape.
Mom's information was wrong.
Chu Lin cursed inwardly. If he could return safely, he would definitely smash the mouth of the person who gave him the information, and tell him what it meant to be "a top-tier individual who is used to working alone, has a high probability of successfully launching a sneak attack, and is dating a burdensome Omega."
The Omega was wrapped in a large, comfortable coat, and his expression didn't change at all from the moment he saw him. Lu Xiwen was even more so. Guess why he always came alone?
Does it make a big difference whether or not you have bodyguards with you?
Chu Lin wasn't unfamiliar with top-tier individuals. Three years ago, in a distant country, there was an extremely gentlemanly top-tier individual whose pheromone form was a snow eagle. This eagle wasn't very aggressive, and Chu Lin could barely manage a 50/50 fight with all his might. This gave him a huge boost of confidence, and he thought that this time, "greeting" and "giving a warning" would be no problem. However, the outcome ended in such a disgraceful manner.
The shadows of the trees swept past on both sides, and the sounds of the whole world condensed into a blurry "buzzing" vibration. Chu Lin braced himself with one hand on the ground and almost slid around the corner. No one was chasing him. Just as he was feeling smug, he crashed into something with a "bang".
It was transparent, seemingly nothing, yet it imprisoned Chu Lin within it.
“The top-tier pheromone barrier can extend to a radius of 500 meters, mine is a bit bigger, about 800 meters.” Lu Xiwen walked up from behind slowly. “You can’t be faster than me.”
Chu Lin wanted to stall for time, but a sharp hissing sound approached in an instant. It was the pheromone attack that he had just managed to dodge coming again. Chu Lin instinctively rolled on the spot, and then the spot where he had just been was smashed into a deep pit by the rain arrows. Mud and water splashed in all directions. Chu Lin's eyes flashed with horror. He could also gather power like this, but the coverage was not as good as Lu Xiwen's.
Before they could catch their breath, another wave of even denser rain came down.
With a deafening roar, Chu Lin could no longer laugh. His pheromone barrier was forced to disengage to increase his speed, and the torrential rain quickly soaked him, blurring his vision. When the trees were violently blasted down, he almost got hit on the ankle.
They're not even in the same league, Chu Lin wiped his face.
That wasn't all. The next second, an extremely strong fear gripped his soul. Chu Lin turned his head sharply, and Lu Xiwen had already flashed close. He retreated rapidly with both hands and feet, and his tightly guarded movements finally had a loophole.
Chu Lin brushed Lu Xiwen's hand away, and as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by the back of his collar by a huge force. He even thought about making a clean getaway and giving up his favorite windbreaker.
"Sizzle—"
Lu Xiwen's pheromones ripped the down jacket. He grabbed Chu Lin by the back of the neck and flung him backward violently. Chu Lin felt that the force was outrageous. He had no chance to resist. After a few seconds in the air, he crashed hard into a tree trunk. At the same moment, Lu Xiwen stood in front of him.
Chu Lin was breathing heavily, staring intently at Lu Xiwen, while Lu Xiwen's breathing remained perfectly steady.
"I don't like to leave loose ends. Those defeated opponents from the past are out of the question. Right now, only the biological research on Jiguang Island and the Fang family in Haicheng are the main projects. I'm the one who calls the shots on Jiguang Island. I haven't seen you in Hongdu, so you're from Haicheng?"
“In recent years, besides the Fang family, many families in the pharmaceutical engineering industry have made a fortune with inhibitors that have pitifully poor efficacy. According to the information Fang Xiao gave me a while ago, the inhibitory effect he developed can even reach 72%. Are some people envious?” Lu Xi asked, puzzled. “Then why are you coming to me instead of Fang Xiao?”
Chu Lin was extremely tense due to the suppression of his pheromones. He didn't expect that Lu Xiwen could analyze these things from a simple meeting. He made a living as a thug and had taken similar jobs before. These big bosses were afraid of death. They would be wary after being threatened with death once. If the benefits were enough, it was not impossible to drag them down.
But the first person to think of using this combination of moves against Lu Xiwen must be an idiot.
Chu Lin was a little anxious. "Most of Fang Xiao's research funding came from you."
Lu Xiwen then understood.
"President Lu, are you planning to get rid of me here?" Chu Lin pretended not to care.
"What are you saying?" Lu Xiwen said expressionlessly. "I am a law-abiding citizen."
Chu Lin: "..."
“Good citizen, you’re going home.” Pei Wu stood not far away, holding an umbrella. “It’s getting dark.”
Rank A and above require special registration with the Alpha Association, as disappearing would cause serious trouble. Moreover, the commotion has already attracted some nearby residents to come this way.
"Chu Lin," Lu Xiwen warned, "you only have one chance."
Chu Lin was in pain all over. His lower back was cut by a branch during the fight. It was terrible. He would cancel the order as soon as he got back!
