Stelle (⌐■‿■): "Your turn!"
After confirming that the person she had just sent flying was most likely still alive, her amber eyes quietly shifted toward the figure cowering in the corner, trembling uncontrollably.
A mischievous smile unconsciously curled across her lips.
The man's expression instantly froze.
Then, with a thud, his knees slammed heavily onto the ground without the slightest hesitation. The dull sound of bone striking concrete echoed through the air.
His face was as pale as paper, and his voice was filled with undisguised terror as he repeatedly kowtowed.
"Big Sister, spare me! Big Sister, spare me! This lowly one was blind and offended your majesty. I beg you to be magnanimous and spare this insignificant life just this once!"
"What do you mean, 'Big Sister'? Call me Queen!"
"Y-Yes, Queen! Please don't lower yourself to the level of someone like me. Spare my life!"
The man was utterly terrified by the metal baseball bat hovering just inches from his forehead.
His forehead repeatedly slammed against the ground until blood slowly began to seep out.
His pleas for mercy became increasingly incoherent as he desperately prayed that the fiend standing before him would suddenly show mercy.
By now, he had completely figured it out.
Not a single one of these women was ordinary.
Every one of them could take someone down in a single move.
There was no possibility of escaping now.
All he could do was hope that they would have a sudden change of heart.
Watching the man instantly throw himself to the ground in surrender, Stelle immediately revealed a textbook villain's grin.
She casually twirled the metal baseball bat in her hand.
Its silver-gray surface reflected a chilling gleam beneath the sunlight.
As she spun it, the bat's shadow swayed back and forth across the ground, repeatedly sweeping over the man's face.
Each pass felt like another heavy hammer striking his already fragile heart.
He was so frightened that he nearly stopped breathing and almost fainted on the spot.
Stelle (๑꒪▿꒪)*: "Hehehe..."
Yunli (￢_￢): "Uh..."
Yunli, who was walking over with Old Mettle resting on her shoulder, happened to witness Stelle looking completely full of herself.
Her delicate little face immediately fell.
If someone who knew nothing about the situation saw this scene, they would probably think a beautiful young girl was forcing someone into prostitution.
Perhaps noticing Yunli approaching, Stelle decided she had teased the poor guy enough.
And so...
"Listen to your lullaby!"
Bang!
Stelle raised the bat and swung it down.
With a single dull thud, the man immediately fell into a baby-like sleep.
Perhaps he was still a little shy.
After all, he buried his entire head into the concrete floor like an ostrich.
Yunli cleared her throat.
"Ahem. We're here to punish evil and uphold justice. That's our duty. But Stelle, you should probably restrain yourself a little next time."
"No problem!"
In an instant, the battle had been decided.
Under the combined assault of Stelle and Yunli, those men hadn't even lasted half a move before every single one of them was peacefully asleep.
Only Acheron stood off to one side from beginning to end, quietly watching with detached indifference without lifting a finger.
Bang!!!
The battle on their side ended swiftly and decisively.
Every opponent had been dealt with in less than half a minute.
In contrast, the battle on Mo Xin's side was exceptionally "intense."
She and the man exchanged blows fiercely.
The sounds of fists and kicks colliding echoed without pause, and their figures moved so quickly that only afterimages remained.
There were no flashy visual effects.
Only a pure clash of martial skill and technique.
It looked almost exactly like a classic kung fu movie duel, with the fight dragging on for quite some time without either side gaining a decisive advantage.
Then, in the very next second, Mo Xin suddenly threw a punch.
The man hurriedly raised both arms to block.
Bang!
The dull impact made everyone's eardrums tremble.
The man felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
He completely lost his footing and staggered backward nearly ten meters before barely managing to steady himself.
Both of his arms had gone numb.
They throbbed painfully, swollen to the point that he could hardly feel them anymore.
He stared at Mo Xin in utter disbelief.
The girl standing before him had such a slender frame and looked so delicate.
How could she possibly possess such monstrous physical strength?
At that moment, he subconsciously glanced toward the other side of the battlefield.
The sight that greeted him made his entire body turn ice-cold.
Every one of his companions was already lying unconscious on the ground.
All of them had completely lost the ability to fight.
Now, he alone was left struggling.
He didn't even have time to process what he had just seen.
Mo Xin had already launched another attack.
"Where are you looking?!"
She stepped forward and threw another punch.
The man's attention instantly snapped back.
His eyes narrowed sharply.
Ignoring the agonizing pain in his arms, he instinctively reacted.
His left hand shot out like an iron vise, locking tightly around Mo Xin's wrist.
At the same time, his right hand grabbed her forearm.
Twisting his waist sharply, he swept his right leg out like a heavy hammer and kicked forcefully toward the back of Mo Xin's knee.
Pain shot through her leg.
Her center of gravity instantly shifted, causing her body to tip forward involuntarily.
The man immediately seized the opportunity.
Driving power from his waist, he twisted and pulled with both arms.
A textbook shoulder throw instantly took shape.
But just as the flawless sequence of movements reached its midpoint, the man's hands suddenly felt empty.
Mo Xin had somehow vanished from his grasp without a trace.
Before he could even search for her, the disappeared Mo Xin was already standing steadily behind him.
The corners of her lips curved upward slightly.
Then she kicked upward from below.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out.
The man's face instantly drained of all color.
His eyes rolled back as his body swayed violently, nearly collapsing.
"You..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, the same familiar crisp sound rang out.
The same familiar finishing move.
His head was driven straight into the ground.
Stelle (๑•̀ᴗ- )✧: "Done!"
Mo Xin (((°▽°)八(°▽°)))♪: "Nice!"
Yunli (ノ_＜.): "At this rate, you two will be best friends by the end of the day."
The matter was over.
The gang of thugs who had been spewing nonsense moments earlier had all been knocked unconscious.
Just then, several familiar voices suddenly called out from the distance.
"You guys... huh?"
"Little Mo, you... eh?"
The newcomers were none other than Qing Yutong's squad, who had hurried over from the entrance of the nearby Ability Bureau.
However, when they looked at the complete mess spread across the ground, none of them knew what to say for a moment.
...
A short while later.
Aside from concealing the true identities of Acheron and Stelle, Mo Xin honestly recounted everything that had just happened.
After listening, everyone's gaze subconsciously shifted toward the three girls standing nearby.
A cold and aloof purple-haired beauty.
A cute and petite legal loli.
A mysterious silver-haired older sister.
And... a beautiful girl.
Mu Yao and the others nodded in understanding.
The cause of the conflict was perfectly reasonable.
It was just that the way it had been resolved was, well, a little too brutal.
Mo Xin also realized that something seemed slightly off.
She frowned.
Her fingers unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, and her eyes were filled with hesitation and anxiety as she quietly asked,
"Um... did we go a little too far just now? They looked like ordinary people. Would this count as excessive self-defense?"
However, before Captain Chen could answer, Acheron gently raised her hand first.
Her fingertips softly brushed over the top of Mo Xin's head, her touch carrying an almost imperceptible gentleness.
Her voice was calm, yet unusually firm.
"Don't dwell on it. They were never ordinary people to begin with."
"Huh?" ×5
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Acheron.
After all, these days, unless an Ability User actively used their Special Ability, it was generally almost impossible to distinguish them from ordinary people.
Some Ability Users were even completely indistinguishable despite possessing Special Abilities.
At the very least, Mo Xin hadn't noticed the man using any Special Ability during the fight.
And Qing Yutong still hadn't said a word.
So...
How did this woman know?
Could she be an Ability User as well?
Chen Yuxuan couldn't help but arrive at that conclusion.
However, while thinking that, he failed to notice that Qing Yutong's calm black-and-white heterochromatic eyes were fixed unblinkingly upon the purple-haired figure standing before her.
