Deng Hei and his three companions finally halted their attack, their faces filled with shock as they shouted.

"We deserve to die, we thought it was Tang Yu coming down."

Lu Junzhuo was almost livid with rage.

He had indeed arranged for the four of them to ambush Tang Yu here.

But who could have predicted such a major twist in the plan?

Tang Yu and Wang Yixue weren't poisoned; instead, he fell into the trap!

After getting caught, he even put on a mask to disguise himself as Tang Yu to trick him further!

But wearing it only led to him being ambushed by his own people.

He felt like a clown.

"Damn it!"

Lu Junzhuo pointed at the members of the Reaper Squad, gesturing with his hand, but ultimately held back his anger and said.

"It's not your fault, the plan had a slight hiccup, you... are very loyal."

After all, they were just loyally executing his orders.

Punishing them for this issue wouldn't be appropriate!

"It's our duty."

The four of them said in unison, half-kneeling on the ground.

"I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I need to leave for a while. You all stay at the hotel and see if you can find a chance to poison Tang Yu and his group. Let me know if you succeed."

Even now, Lu Junzhuo was unwilling to give up.

After instructing the four to stay at the hotel and look for opportunities, he dashed out of the hotel, wanting to find a place to take a good shower.

The greasy smell on him was unbearable.

Just as he ran out of the hotel's back door, two figures suddenly rushed out from the roadside.

In the instant he reacted, the two had already landed a punch and a kick on him.

They were the two ancient martial arts bodyguards following Wang Yixue.

These two were quite formidable, both at the peak of the Normal Realm!

They had been lying in ambush for a long time, and taking advantage of Lu Junzhuo's chaotic state of mind, they successfully launched a sneak attack and continued to press their advantage.

Being continuously attacked, Lu Junzhuo was furious to the point of bursting.

He, a dignified peak Mystical Realm expert!

In the Dragon Soul organization, he was considered a prodigy.

Compared to him, even Ye Chen would pale in comparison.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation, being bullied by two weaklings not even at the Mystical Realm?

Under normal circumstances, he could crush the two with one hand!

But in his current state, he was in terrible shape.

His previous injuries hadn't healed, his vital energy was severely depleted today, he hadn't rested for three hours straight, and he just took a beating from the Reaper Squad.

At this moment, his limbs were as limp as noodles.

Facing the siege of two peak Normal Realm fighters, he could only watch as they gained the upper hand.

What was worse, these two were extremely ruthless, clearly intending to kill him.

After sustaining more injuries, Lu Junzhuo spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He felt his physical condition becoming increasingly dangerous.

He couldn't hold on any longer and decided to put aside his pride.

With a deep breath, he shouted, "Help!"

After all, this was a high-end hotel with plenty of security personnel.

As soon as he shouted for help, patrolling security guards quickly arrived.

"What are you doing? Who allowed you to fight here? If you want to fight, go to the dance studio."

One of the security guards shouted.

Seeing the security guards arrive, the two ancient martial arts bodyguards from the Huang family were a bit helpless.

In front of so many people, they really couldn't continue to kill this person.

The two had no choice but to abandon their attack and quickly retreat.

After they left, Lu Junzhuo sat down on the ground, his face full of humiliation.

He, Lu Junzhuo, was actually beaten to the point of calling for help by two Normal Realm ancient martial artists!

How long had it been since he arrived in China?

He had already been beaten three times!

"Are you okay? Do you need us to call the police?"

One of the security guards came over with concern.

"Get lost, I don't need your meddling. If any of you dare to talk about today's incident, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lu Junzhuo glared at the security guards, threatening them viciously.

If word of this got out, how could he face anyone in the Dragon Soul organization?

The security guards' faces instantly turned dark, and they cursed as they turned to leave.

If they had known he was such a brainless fool, they wouldn't have come over!

After the security guards left, Lu Junzhuo hurriedly drove to the hospital.

With his injuries, it would take a while to fully recover.

...

Back in the hotel room, Tang Yu sat on the sofa, silently chanting in his heart.

"Shitty System, where's my reward?"

"Beep, reward: physical enhancement, and a significant boost to the weakling host's strength."

As the system's cold voice sounded, Tang Yu immediately felt changes in his body.

A thick, black, foul-smelling liquid oozed from his pores.

"Damn, which author came up with this marrow cleansing setting?"

Smelling the odor, even Tang Yu found it a bit disgusting.

It was as if he had been thrown into a cesspool for a swim.

He quickly ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

The suite's bathroom even had an indoor hot spring pool.

After cleaning off the filth, Tang Yu relaxed in the pool with a contented expression.

According to the system, after this round of marrow cleansing, he now had a top-notch martial arts physique.

Moreover, his strength had directly advanced to the Normal Realm, instantly transforming him from an ordinary person into an ancient martial artist.

Although this level of strength was still a bit low, not enough to slap Ye Chen and the others to death.

But it greatly increased Young Master Tang's capacity for bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In the future, when encountering clueless fools, wouldn't he be able to take them down with a single punch?

"This shitty system finally decided to give me something good, but something feels off."

Tang Yu rubbed his chin, pondering.

He hadn't really gone all out against Lu Junzhuo today, so where did this high reward come from?

Just then, his phone on the side rang.

Tang Yu picked it up and glanced at it.

It was a message from the Reaper Squad.

They reported the situation to Tang Yu.

Learning that the four of them had given Lu Junzhuo a beating, Tang Yu was dumbfounded.

Damn, is this even a thing?

Pretending to be him just to get beaten up?

As expected, the snitches were all very dedicated to their work.

To thank them for boosting his performance and enhancing his system rewards, Tang Yu gifted each of them a high-end club membership card.

Each card was loaded with a million, enough for them to enjoy for a year.

And since it was a nationwide chain, they could use it anywhere.

The four were overjoyed to receive the membership cards.

Club people, club soul, clubs are for the elite!

Then they collectively left the hotel to have fun.

As for Lu Junzhuo's arrangements, sorry, they were all Young Master Tang's tasks.

After contacting the Reaper Squad, Tang Yu soaked comfortably in the hot spring for a while before preparing to head back to bed.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Tang Yu, open up, I need to talk to you."

Wang Yixue's voice came from outside the door.

"Looking for me?"

Tang Yu felt a bit strange inside. What could she want at this late hour?

He quickly ran over to open the door.

Standing outside, Wang Yixue looked a bit distressed.

She walked in, clutching her stomach, and lay down on Tang Yu's bed.

"Tang Yu, my stomach hurts."

"Are you here to take a dump?"
