Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Chapter 474: Chapter 368: Rebellion and End (Part 2)

By the end, her tone had grown increasingly severe.

At the same time.

The terrifying Life Magnet Field of a Tier Five Evolver suddenly crashed down.

Lu Hong’s face paled, and he staggered back a few steps.

"Sister, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry, I was just talking..."

he said, forcing a smile.

"Brother, I don’t want to hear that a second time! If it happens again, I will personally drag you before the Lord City Lord!"

Lu Shan’s expression was cold as she gave him a long, hard look.

With that,

she turned and left.

Watching Lu Shan’s retreating figure,

Lu Hong’s smile vanished.

His expression became blank.

His fists clenched tightly.

’Sister, you’ve been completely bewitched by that man.’

’You’re a Tier Five Evolver, yet you’re willing to be a slave whose life and death are completely in his hands.’

’But I’m not. No one will ever have control over my life and death.’

At this thought,

he turned and left.

However,

he failed to notice that after he departed,

a faint sigh echoed through the empty space.

...

Radiant Harbor.

Radiant Harbor was a port town located about thirty kilometers from the City of Dawn.

Small towns like this were not uncommon around the City of Dawn.

They contained everything from mines and farms to fish ponds.

After a decade of development, their various industries had gradually matured.

After all, the massive population of the City of Dawn needed to be fed.

However, to guard against potential Wild Beast attacks,

every town had at least one Tier Three Evolver stationed there.

At this moment,

Lu Hong’s figure appeared in a courtyard without any warning.

Apparently hearing the commotion, a door on one side slowly opened with a CREAK, and a young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes emerged.

Upon seeing Lu Hong, the man startled for a moment before quickly bowing and cupping his fist.

"Meng Hao, Guardian of Radiant Harbor, greets you, Governor!"

Lu Hong merely gave a slight nod.

His gaze fell upon Meng Hao, sizing him up from head to toe before he faintly uttered two words: "The result?"

"Tier Three Peak!"

Meng Hao answered, a hint of apprehension in his expression.

Hearing this, Lu Hong’s brow furrowed instantly.

Despite the vast resources Lu Hong had poured into his training, the man before him was still only at Tier Three Peak. Tier Four remained as distant as ever.

’This man’s aptitude is far too inferior to my own.’

Of course, he didn’t know that if Hu Qi hadn’t ignited his Essence and Qi at the cost of thirty years of his own Lifespan, Lu Hong himself might not even be a match for the man standing before him.

"So be it! Tomorrow, you will come with me to see the Lord City Lord!"

Lu Hong’s expression was cold, his voice laced with an undeniable tone of command.

’Although this man’s Life Level isn’t high, his Ability is exceptionally unique.’

’When he first became an Evolver, he could ignore defenses and injure me, even when I was at Tier Three Peak.’

’Now that he’s at Tier Three Peak, he should be able to heavily wound or even kill an expert at the limit of Tier Five.’

’Besides, so much time has passed and he still hasn’t broken through to Tier Four. I’m afraid Tier Three Peak is his limit. There’s no point in waiting any longer.’

"Governor, are we preparing to make our move? Does your sister feel the same way?"

Meng Hao’s eyes flickered,

and as he spoke,

his previously bowed back had straightened imperceptibly.

Lu Hong failed to notice this. Recalling his earlier conversation with Lu Shan, his expression darkened.

"She doesn’t agree. But don’t worry, I’m her only brother. She could never refuse to help me.

"Once we use your ’Injury Transfer’ Ability to kill that man, my sister will be there to handle the aftermath. Nothing can go wrong..."

"Has the Governor ever considered something?"

Meng Hao suddenly interjected, cutting Lu Hong off.

"What if we fail?"

"What are you trying to say? Are you backing out?"

Lu Hong’s gaze turned sharp and cold.

The powerful aura of a Tier Four Middle Stage Celestial King instantly flooded the area, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze solid.

Faced with this pressure,

Meng Hao staggered back two steps,

his face paling.

Just as Lu Hong thought his aura had intimidated the man,

SQUELCH.

The distinct sound of flesh tearing abruptly echoed through the courtyard.
