Qi Ke’s knife was repelled by a streak of black brilliance, and the dark metal buttons scattered across the floor.

At the same time, a black shadow with a silver sword light charged forward aggressively.

Clang——

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the void.

Qi Ke held her dagger in front of her, blocking the silver sword light.

She took two steps back, the heels of her high-heeled shoes snapping under the immense force transmitted from her arm to her body.

Super Memory, explode!

He Ao didn’t hesitate, he directly detonated his Super Memory and his physical fitness instantly surged from 90 to 147.

The strength was too much for Qi Ke’s wrist to bear, and in the moment He Ao pressed down, she abruptly shifted her body to the side, leaping backward to put distance between herself and He Ao.

"Dancing Girl?"

He Ao grabbed Christos from the ground, retreated several steps, and blocked the doorway, then he turned off Super Memory, tilting the silver short sword downward, its slender blade reflecting a cold, sharp light.

Theoretically, it shouldn’t have been possible to bypass the metal detectors at the doorway with this sword, but the scabbard Roy’s father left could disguise the cold weapon as a non-metallic support, thus evading inspection.

Roy didn’t have knowledge of such materials in his memory, but Ande’s gun-related memories did.

This material had once been used to camouflage firearms, but after security systems were upgraded, it could only be used to disguise cold weapons.

That was why the scabbard didn’t quite match the short sword, but He Ao always carried it with him for this reason.

The things Roy’s father left generally all had special uses; for instance, the metal button that had just sent Qi Ke’s knife flying was one he had directly torn from his trench coat.

"A child of the Eno family?"

Qi Ke held her knife, squinting her eyes. She took out a lipstick, slowly applied it to her lips, lightly pursed them, and her bright red lips reflected a moist luster under the bright light, "It seems Qi Rui is already dead?"

She lifted her head, looking towards He Ao, her bright eyes rippling like clear waves.

Within a short moment, He Ao felt a stiffness in his body, his breath and heartbeat both accelerated.

"Be careful, she must be from the Witch Church, they are skilled in seduction."

Christos leaned against the door, struggling to remind him.

He Ao, of course, knew this; he had already experienced the Dancing Girl’s methods during Ande’s time.

He detonated Super Memory again, resisting Qi Ke’s seduction, and took up the sword to rush at her once more.

Qi Ke’s strengths and weaknesses were clear: she was likely D-class, her mental ability was strong, but her physical strength was much weaker than the average D-class, whereas after detonating Super Memory, He Ao’s physical fitness had reached 147, nearing the D-class threshold of 150.

Overall, with the ’Onlooker’s’ enhanced senses, his physical and reactive capabilities were stronger than the Dancing Girl’s.

Using ’Super Memory’ to resist the Dancing Girl’s seduction and coupled with the ’Mercenary’s’ physical abilities, the best choice was to kill her head-on in a short time.

This battle had to be quick, because Super Memory had a time limit.

"Interesting," Qi Ke looked at He Ao with a smile curving her lips, apparently slightly surprised that He Ao had resisted her seduction, "You’re much stronger than your father."

She charged at He Ao like a Phantom Shadow, her silver knife sliding against the sharp sword, then swiftly cutting towards He Ao’s neck, sparks flying from the clash of their blades.

He Ao tilted his body to the side, and as the sword pressed down, evading the knife, the blade swept upwards, aiming for Qi Ke’s neck.

Qi Ke leaped backward, dodging the slash from He Ao.

Though she avoided a fatal blow, the tip of He Ao’s sword still grazed her snowy-white neck, with a trace of purple-red blood seeping out from the slit wound.

"The wounds on my father’s body, were they left by you?"

He Ao gained the advantage, his sword raised as he charged forward once more.

"Although he is quite a professional mercenary, he’s still not worth my personal effort," Qi Ke said with a seductive smile, dodging He Ao’s sword strike and slipping past his offense. She seemed to have noticed He Ao’s advantage as well, "I am but an instructor for the Church, supervising their missions. If I were to intervene, your father would never have been able to leave Kaye City. Of course,"

she smiled slightly, "I did add a little curse to your father to hasten his death, after all, those youngsters’ work was indeed unsightly."

With eyes full of spring and a seductive gaze, although Qi Ke spoke cruel and infuriating words, she evoked a feeling of pity within He Ao.

Seduction.

He Ao’s brow twitched,

Had she grown stronger? Or had she not used her full strength last time?

"So, you were in Kaye City five years ago too?"

He Ao took two steps back, and as he increased the distance between them, the intense feeling in his heart weakened significantly.

When not in battle, he would choose to shut off his Super Memory to prolong the fight; his soul was not as strong as it had been during Ande’s time, but he could barely move about.

"Yes," Qi Ke cocked her head, hands clasped behind her back, stepping towards He Ao bit by bit, with a mix of a young girl’s innocence and a mature woman’s charm, "So what is it you want from me? To avenge your father? Or perhaps..."

She scoffed, "For justice?"

He Ao once again increased the distance between them. If he retreated any further, he would be back by Christos’s side.

"Do you know what your father did for a living?" Qi Ke asked, eyes wide, smiling playfully at He Ao, "He accepted a mission from the Nord Consortium to steal the Gene Potion’s technical data. His objective was actually the same as ours, the only difference being we were hired by different consortia, and our methods were a bit more... brutal."

"Kill the professor, destroy the Research Institute, seriously injure my father and then place a curse on him, and assassinate the only surviving little girl," He Ao looked at her calmly, "This is what you call ’a bit’ more brutal?"

"So you’ve come to administer justice? Like your father tried to before he died? He could have left, but chose to save the little girl with his life."

A flash of silver blade streaked by.

"I’m not," He Ao countered the blade with his short sword, "I am simply avenging my foolish father who,"

he pressed down fiercely, sending Qi Ke flying with force,

"wanted to do a good deed before dying!"

Eno told his child stories of heroes all his life, yet he himself was but a mercenary lurking in the shadows.

Even if it was just once, he chose to be a hero.

He wanted to set an example for his child with his life.

Even if his child might never know of it.

"Do you know why I was able to track you down here?"

He Ao looked at Qi Ke calmly, his hand slowly reaching into his pocket, and he pulled out an object that resembled a blood-red, writhing compass.

At this moment, the ’compass’ needle was fixedly pointing in Qi Ke’s direction.

"This is?"

Qi Ke was taken aback.

"An item of the deceased."

He Ao said calmly, sword in hand, walking towards Qi Ke.

Qi Ke watched He Ao quietly, and in a trance, she saw a massive, raging Phantom Shadow behind this man.

The maniac who had been chasing her for many, many years.

Mu Xiu.
