Phantasmal Genesis

Chapter 59: All of you should be glad

The sunglasses-wearing woman did not even have the freedom to think, with all of her thoughts bared in front of Meng Kes eyes.

And after reading her mind, he understood what was going on.

I didnt expect Riven to have an unrequited love!

After Riven chose to serve for her crimes, the Abnormalities Investigation Bureau investigated her background, and it wasnt difficult for them to find out about her crush on an ordinary human.

And it was because of that person, that she had exposed herself.

And it meant that her love was the best piece of leverage for the bureau.

They tried their best to encourage their relationship to increase their leverage.

And just that much content was good enough material to film a superhero blockbuster.

But, how could there be such a great coincidence in this world?

Where love could be requited that easily?

The ordinary human that Riven fell in love with had a girlfriend, and he had dated her for over 4 years.

And the moment they found out, the bureau quickly hid that information and looked for the man, creating an agreement with him.

That agreement was the lie they had fed Riven, and the level of confidentiality for that agreement surpassed even Rivens identity.

For a moment, Meng Ke was tempted to tell Riven about the agreement, but he quickly decided against it. Doing so was not only unproductive for him, but he might even expose his ability to read minds in the process.

Furthermore, her circumstances were already enticing enough, and Xuan Nv had already prepared quite a few sets of memories mixed in with the truth. She was prepared to alter her memory at any time, and she could instantly make her subservient to Meng Ke.

But, there was still time, and Meng Ke had other plans.

A spy that was unaware of being a spy could obtain much more information than a self-aware spy.

Mu Ke, is that right?

The sunglasses-wearing woman gritted her teeth as she raised her head to glare at the white-clad man that towered over her.

You are currently standing on the soil of our country! In our territory, please follow our laws!

There was a point in time when Meng Ke would feel exhilaration when hearing a speech from his government, prideful of the fact that he was a citizen of this country.

And this, was a strong reason behind his enlistment in the army after he had graduated from high school.

But the past him would have never expected to be at the brunt of the government officers berating and threatening tone one day.

And in that instant, the tense atmosphere froze in the air.

Meng Ke knew that this time, they were a touch away from firing the countless guns that they aimed his way.

They were only warning him earlier because he wasnt threatening their interests, and now, they were concerned.

If Meng Ke took Riven away, the Abnormalities Investigation Bureau might go crazy and try to take her back at any cost, and it wouldnt be as simple as firing a few bullets.

Meng Ke understood that Riven wasnt very strong, but her true value laid in her cultivation method for supernatural energy!

It didnt mean that they did not have any other people with cultivation methods, but they rejected their cooperation. Under such circumstances, who would dare to hand over their cultivation methods?

Without a person to confirm the authenticity of these cultivation methods, the value of Riven, who was serving for her crimes, shone even brighter.

Despite her unwillingness now, when she eventually handed over her cultivation, it at least meant that it would be rather trustworthy.

If not, Riven wouldnt be this stubborn.

What are you so nervous about? Meng Ke shrugged with a smile.

If I truly wanted to take her away, would all of you be able to stop me?

Ping ping ping

As he had expected, bullets were fired his way before he could even finish his sentence.

Bullets rained upon him, leaving afterimages in the air as the thick smell of gunpowder wafted in the air, the entire area had become a mess in seconds.

However, the gaze of every single person present was filled with either shock or confusion as their eyes widened at the unbelievable sight.

As if blocked by an invisible screen, each individual bullet had been frozen in midair.

It was as if time was paused, and not a single bullet could advance any further.

This was a screen made of bullets!

Dang dang dang

The surroundings had become quiet after countless bullets fell onto the ground, and every single person present had retreated in dismay.

All of you should be glad, that I was the one you were shooting at.

Killing intent as wide as the sky poured forth as if the ripples of a bloody, corpse-filled bomb had exploded upon them.

Meng Ke stood there, his indifferent eyes glancing once at the sunglasses-wearing woman before his phantasy body faded away.

The woman didnt know how long she had held her breath, and she fell to the ground without any regard for her image, sitting on the wet ground beneath her.

It was the primal fear of prey towards a predator, a pessimistic feeling that came from the depths of their subconsciousness.

No one could gather their courage to face someone like him, and the only thing they could do was tremble in fear!

In the entire area, only Riven was barely capable of standing, but even she had a face as white as a sheet of paper, devoid of any blood.

After the phantasy had disappeared, the sunglasses-wearing woman tried to contain the trembling of her own body as she crawled up with gritted teeth.

Taking out her walkie-talkie, she spoke with a weak voice, Lets get out of here!

Meng Ke knocked Luo Chao unconscious once again, and Yasuo appeared in the shocked eyes of the sunglasses-wearing woman.

With the ability the white-clad man had displayed earlier, she had thought that he wanted to forcefully take Yasuo away.

And in the end, it didnt seem like it?

Then, why did he go crazy just now?

The woman was bewildered, but she also regained some of her composure as her mind started to wander.

And as she thought, she suddenly realised that he seemed to have had the strength to coerce them from the beginning.

And if that was the case

The sunglasses-wearing woman wanted to weep.

It seemed as though,

The first reason for his unyielding attitude was their actions of trying to take Yasuo away as if they had the right to do so.

And the second time

Was also because they had opened fire

Did he never intend on taking away Yasuo?

Or, if Yasuo wasnt the one picking a fight, he wouldnt have even bothered with him!?

I hope my guess was wrong. As she thought, the sunglasses-wearing woman looked at Yasuo with malicious eyes, causing him to shiver before looking around in confusion.

If her guess was correct, it meant that if Yasuo hadnt sought his own death by attacking the white-clad man, nothing would have happened!

And she wouldnt havehumiliated herself like that just now!

And as she thought, she gritted her teeth in hatred as the sensation from her legs mortified her.

Ill make you pay after we return!!!

And just like that, Yasuo, who was still unaware of what kind of a woman he had just offended, was brought back onto a vehicle under Rivens guard, following the group back to their base.
