The Level 38 fourth-tier Summoner had a maximum of fifty to sixty thousand Health Points.

Lu Ming's attack, which could kill Deva ten times over with its 570,000 damage, instantly took him down.

Thud!

As Deva fell lifeless to the ground, the smiles on the surrounding players' faces froze, and they all looked at Lu Ming with terror.

"Damn... Damn it! This guy..."

"What kind of damage is that?!"

They had thought he was just a Level 25 support Trickster, someone anyone could easily bully.

Who would have thought they'd hit a wall instead?

Once they realized what was happening, the players scattered in all directions.

"Run!"

At this moment, a hint of killing intent flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

With Lu Ming's summons, a full seven hundred and fifty third-tier Death Lords broke through space, appearing all around.

The entire Bone Tower map had become the territory of the Undead Legion!

Such a terrifying sight left the players from [Glorious] stunned.

Looking at the Death Lords around them, like messengers from hell, clad in blood armor and cloaks, eyes glowing red, exuding an aura of death, Master Hui and his dozens of lackeys turned pale, not daring to make a sound.

"What... what are these things?"

"Did that guy summon all these undead?"

...

"Kill."

With a thought from Lu Ming.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The nearby Death Lords simultaneously activated Soul Shatter, instantly wiping out those dozens of scattered players!

Lu Ming's killing intent did not cease.

Just as he was about to command the Undead Legion to deal with Master Hui and his group, Qin Churan suddenly intervened, "Could you do me a favor and let them go?"

Lu Ming replied coldly, "They wanted to hurt you, so I killed them."

Such a nonchalant statement gave Qin Churan a strong sense of security.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

But her thoughts were clear: "His father is a good man, he once helped A-Long and his friends, and to me, he's a benefactor."

"Moreover, his father knows about the business discussions his son and I had tonight. If anything happens to his son, he'll definitely suspect me, and the Li family is a prestigious family in Shanghai."

"Having one less enemy is better than having one more. We can take this opportunity to do him a favor."

As she spoke, Qin Churan walked towards Master Hui.

Crossing her arms, she asked him, "Is my boyfriend third-rate?"

"No, no, no! First-rate! Absolutely first-rate! I'm the third-rate one!" Master Hui was so frightened his face turned ashen, afraid that one wrong move would lead to the same fate as the others.

"So, about the investment?"

Qin Churan didn't need to finish her sentence.

Master Hui, trembling, opened the operation panel and stammered, "Send me your bank account number, I'll invest ten million in you right away! No, twenty million!"

Qin Churan smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Master Hui! Don't worry, once we finalize the contract, you'll get your principal back with 15% interest within two years."

With that, Qin Churan sent Lu Ming's account number to Master Hui via WeChat.

She then turned and left the Bone Tower with Lu Ming.

Watching the Undead Legion follow Lu Ming and leave the Bone Tower, the players from [Glorious] couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn, that was close! Almost went to meet my great-grandmother!"

"What kind of Trickster is that? How terrifying!"

"I can't believe Qin Churan, the sister of the captain of the seventh team of the God Slayer squad in the Great Xia server, is with such a shabby-looking guy! I really underestimated him..."

Master Hui watched Qin Churan's departing figure, feeling unsatisfied.

"What does that guy have besides strength? Is he richer than me?"

"Qin Churan... why can't you look at me?"

Just as Master Hui was feeling discontented, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Do you want to have her?"

"Let me lend you a hand!"

Master Hui turned around to see a shadow standing quietly in the darkness.

He looked the figure up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

"How can you help me?"

The shadow said in a deep voice, "I can make her kneel before you, at your mercy."

Hearing this, Master Hui's imagination ran wild, and he felt a surge of excitement and heat.

"Alright, if you can help me get Qin Churan, I'll give you anything you want!"

The shadow continued, "Then, pay me a deposit first."

Master Hui, driven by his desires, didn't question the figure at all and asked, "How much do you want?"

"I don't want money."

"Then what do you want?" Master Hui asked.

"I want your hatred!"

As soon as the words fell.

Slash!

The shadow suddenly brandished a long blade, slashing it heavily against the ground.

In the next second, a powerful arc of blade light swept through the bodies of the [Glorious] players in front.

-52365!

-51369!

-50992!

...

In an instant.

Except for Master Hui, who was chosen as the protection target, all the other [Glorious] players were killed instantly!

The only survivor, Master Hui, fell to the ground in shock, staring at the shadow in horror.

"What... what do you want?!"

The shadow fixed his gaze on the terrified Master Hui and said in a sinister voice, "I told you, this is the deposit."

"Next, follow my instructions, and I can give you what you desire."

As he spoke, the shadow waved his hand to open a status panel.

The panel displayed—

...

On the other side.

On the way back to the city, Lu Ming looked at Qin Churan with newfound respect and said, "You've learned to be smart this time, prioritizing the bigger picture and not acting impulsively."

Qin Churan felt a bit guilty, "I was blinded by hatred before and acted too quickly. Otherwise, if I had gotten the money from Dragon Soul Guan Yu, I could have directly invested in you!"

After a pause, Qin Churan continued confidently, "I've scouted a few studios, and once the money arrives, I'll recruit them!"

Lu Ming reminded her, "Knowing your brother's nature, even if the first Dragon Soul Guan Yu is dead, there will be a second, and a third."

"I know." Qin Churan wasn't worried; instead, her eyes shone with confidence, "I won't give up!"

After returning to the city, the two logged off.

Late at night.

Lin Youwei went to the living room to get some water.

When she heard the sound of a door opening, she turned around and saw Qin Churan coming out of Lu Ming's room in her pajamas.

She was instantly stunned.

Qin Churan saw Lin Youwei and greeted her openly, "Sister Lin, still not asleep?"

In contrast, Lin Youwei seemed a bit flustered, "I... I was thirsty, just getting some water."

"Get some rest, goodnight!"

With that, Qin Churan went into her own room.

Lin Youwei stood by the table, staring at the floor, holding a cup with her left hand while her right hand unconsciously tapped the table edge.

Her mind was in turmoil.

For some reason, she felt an indescribable discomfort.

Feeling as if she had lost something, she returned to her room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She didn't know when she finally drifted off...
