"Brother-in-law, I'm scared."
This girl had just awakened her superpower not long ago, and since the apocalypse began, she had always been under his protection.
Seeing such a scene now, it was understandable that she was frightened.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Meng De said, holding her tightly in his arms.
Using his strong body and the warmth of a man to comfort her.
This scene was just witnessed by Young Master Qin, who was in a state of excitement.
Instantly, he was furious.
"Damn it, who the hell are you, daring to touch my woman!"
"Looking for death!"
Hearing this, Meng De didn't react much.
But the faces of the women beside him turned cold immediately.
Especially Ao Xue, whose face was already filled with killing intent.
Frost began to gather in her palm.
Seeing this, Meng De patted her shoulder.
"Wait!"
Ao Xue looked up, somewhat puzzled.
"He insulted you!"
!!!
Alright, Meng De had misunderstood.
He thought this woman was angry because Young Master Qin's words had insulted them.
But he never expected it was because of him, Meng De.
It must be said, at this moment, Meng De was somewhat moved.
Although this woman was extremely aloof, her concern for him was never spoken aloud.
"Let me handle it!"
Meng De domineeringly pulled her into his arms, expressing his feelings at this moment.
This sudden action not only made Ao Xue blush.
But also made Young Master Qin even more furious.
"Damn you, are you deaf? That's my woman!"
"If you dare touch my woman, believe me, I'll kill you in minutes."
"I'll kill your whole family!!!"
"..."
Young Master Qin cursed incessantly, but the next second, a lightning hand descended from the sky.
It grabbed his neck instantly.
"Sorry, I have to correct you on one thing."
"These are not your buddy's women!"
"They... are all my women!!!"
Meng De's domineering voice echoed in the scene.
Like an official announcement, declaring his sovereignty to everyone!
And he announced so many women at once.
Making the women beside him, like Da Mi Mi and Xiao Yao, blush and be intoxicated by his dominance.
Even the ice-cold CEO Lin Aoxue was the same.
At this moment, she was looking up at the side of the man who was holding her tightly, her face filled with shyness.
This man is so domineering...
But I like it so much, what should I do...
At this moment... this ice-cold CEO fell for him.
But for Young Master Qin, it was unbelievable.
This man in front of him dared to touch him!!!
Reacting to this, he was furious.
"Damn it! You dare to touch me? Do you know who I am?"
"I am the 'Celestial Emperor' of Tianhai City!"
"And I'm also your master, Wang Siming's big brother."
As a good buddy of Principal Wang, on the night the apocalypse descended.
They were both in Donghai City, messing around in a club doing group activities...
But later, Young Master Qin got tired of it... so he returned to the hotel early.
He found a campus belle from a nearby university and experienced the "official" 9988 yuan VIP deflowering service.
It was a simple relaxation...
And because of this, he didn't come to the Yulong Villa area with Principal Wang.
But he knew that Principal Wang had a villa here.
Having heard that Principal Wang was doing quite well here, Meng De had just come out from the hotel and hurried over from afar.
He had already made up his mind that since he was here, he would definitely team up with his good buddy to conquer the apocalypse together.
However, he didn't expect to run into a reckless underling of Wang Siming.
That's right.
Even now, he still believed that the person grabbing him by the neck was one of his good buddy's subordinates...
"You damn bastard! Hurry up and call Wang Siming out!"
"If you touch me again, I swear Wang Siming will skin you alive!!!"
Just as Qin Shou kept threatening, an ice arrow struck his leg, causing him to let out a painful scream.
Meng De looked down at the Iceberg Goddess in his arms.
"He cursed at you again."
Ao Xue said this with an expressionless face, looking completely innocent.
But Meng De couldn't help but feel a strange sense of amusement.
He hadn't noticed before how adorable this Iceberg CEO could be.
If it weren't for the bad timing, he would have loved to pamper her right then and there.
Hit by Ao Xue's S-level superpower at such close range, Qin Shou's leg immediately became bloodied.
The stinging pain seemed to ignite his fury.
"You bitch! You're just one of Wang Siming's cheap women!"
"Damn it, you're dead!"
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
"You whore! Ahhh!!!"
But the next second, he couldn't curse anymore.
Because Meng De's Hand of the Thunder God tightened its grip with immense force.
"Did you not hear me clearly earlier?"
"This is my woman!"
"She has nothing to do with your good buddy."
"And... let me remind you again, your good buddy is already dead!"
"I killed him!"
Meng De's icy words exploded like a thunderclap in Young Master Qin's ears.
"W-what?"
Only now did Young Master Qin belatedly realize.
This man wasn't one of Wang Siming's subordinates at all!
These guards weren't Wang Siming's people either!
These women weren't Wang Siming's playthings!
Realizing this, Young Master Qin was completely panicked.
If this man dared to kill Wang Siming, then it was entirely possible he would do the same to him.
"Zhang Lang, you useless idiots, what are you waiting for?"
"Come and save me!!!"
Zhang Lang was his personal bodyguard.
After the apocalypse, he had even awakened a superpower.
After days of battling zombies, he had already become a powerful third-tier powered individual.
No matter how strong this man was, he was just showing off in front of an ordinary person like him.
There was no way he could be Zhang Lang's match!
However, after shouting for a long time, no one came to his rescue. Instead, he saw a mocking smile on Meng De's face.
"Idiot!"
Even the woman he had just been shouting about wanting to play with was now looking at him with disdain.
Confused, he forced himself to turn his head and look behind him.
Only then did he see that his top subordinate, Zhang Lang, had already been decapitated at some point.
Among the remaining people, the gun-wielding subordinates who could pose a threat had also been killed.
Only a few first-tier powered individuals were left, staring in fear at the man gripping his throat.
A golden flying knife was pressed against their foreheads!!!
They didn't dare to make the slightest move.
Young Master Qin was completely dumbfounded.
He finally understood why the man in front of him had called him an idiot.
He had no idea when his subordinates had been killed.
As their boss, he hadn't even noticed.
Isn't that just plain stupid?
"You dare kill my men."
Fuming with anger, he could only muster this one sentence after a long pause.
But before he could even finish, Meng De slapped him without hesitation.
Slap!
"Idiot!"
"You're still threatening me at this point?!"
In fact, as soon as Meng De unleashed the Hand of the Thunder God, he had already noticed this guy's subordinates preparing to make a move.
But he had already checked through the system.
The strongest among them was only a third-tier powered individual.
As for the rest, only the dozen or so armed men posed any real threat.
So he decided to strike first.
And he did so while Young Master Qin was completely unaware.
"Do you know what happens to those who dare insult my woman?"
Hearing Meng De's cold words, Young Master Qin suddenly felt a sense of dread.
A chill instantly ran down his spine.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm Qin Shou!"
Faced with Young Master Qin's utterly unconvincing threat, Meng De sneered mockingly.
"You call yourself a beast, and you think you're justified?"
If Young Master Qin had only insulted him, he might have just let this idiot die.
But daring to insult his woman? That was unforgivable. He would make sure Young Master Qin wished he were dead!
With that, Meng De activated his thunder ability.
Young Master Qin convulsed violently, screaming in agony.
"Ahhhh!"
"No!!!"
Meng De controlled his ability carefully, so he didn't kill Young Master Qin immediately.
But as he increased the intensity of his thunder ability, Young Master Qin's body began to emit white smoke.
Then, his eyes rolled back, and he was gone.
Meng De was momentarily stunned.
This guy's body must have been completely drained by his indulgent lifestyle.
He had barely started, and this guy couldn't take it anymore.
It felt like punching a ball of cotton.
But he just shrugged and casually tossed the body aside.
He didn't have a habit of desecrating corpses.
Even so, the surviving subordinates of Young Master Qin were utterly terrified by what they had witnessed.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
On the other hand, Leng Feng and his men felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
"Boss, well done!"
"Damn it! Serves you right!"
The women around Meng De also felt relieved, especially Xiao Yao, who let out a big sigh of relief.
She gave her brother-in-law a thumbs-up.
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"
Hearing this, Meng De smiled gently and affectionately patted her hair.
Then, he turned his gaze to the surviving subordinates of Young Master Qin.
They had already fallen to their knees in fear.
"Spare us!"
"We're willing to work for you, boss!"
"Yeah, we've always hated that useless Qin Shou."
"..."
These people were quick to adapt, following the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them," hoping to save themselves.
However, all they received from Meng De was a single cold word.
"Kill!"
If these people hadn't killed his subordinates, he might have considered sparing them.
But now? Absolutely not!
"Yes, boss!"
At their boss's command, Leng Feng and the others, who had been itching for action, immediately pounced.
Young Master Qin's subordinates, already terrified by Meng De's display, were no match for Leng Feng and his men.
Not to mention, after the situation was under control, Meng De allowed the women by his side to join in and test their skills.
So it didn't take long before all of them were dealt with.
His women, however, still felt like they hadn't had enough.
While Leng Feng and the others were busy cleaning up the battlefield, Meng De stood still, lost in thought.
To be honest, the subordinates of Qin Shou who invaded today weren't particularly strong. The strongest among them was only Zhang Lang, a third-tier powered individual mentioned by Young Master Qin, and even his awakened superpower was a lowly C-grade! The majority of the rest were first-tier, with only three or four at the second-tier. Despite their mediocre strength, Meng De, as their leader, still had to step in. Honestly, Meng De felt a bit helpless, but there was no other way.
Leng Feng and Tiezhu had been diligently absorbing crystal cores over the past five days, and their superpower levels had already reached the peak of the second-tier, just one step away from the third-tier. But even this level of strength wasn't enough! Without third-tier power, Meng De, as the captain of the guard, still felt somewhat weak. If Leng Feng had been a third-tier powered individual today, Meng De wouldn't have needed to intervene.
"It seems it's time to let Lei Qiang and Brother Jingfu, who have just broken through to the third-tier, take Leng Feng and Tiezhu out to gather supplies," Meng De thought. After all, people can only unleash greater potential when faced with crises.
"And the entrance to the island needs to be reinforced as well," Meng De added, glancing at the location. To the left was the security building, and to the right was the property management hall, with a triumphal arch structure in the middle. Normally, the security building's mechanisms controlled the raising and lowering of the barrier gate. Such defensive measures might have been passable before the apocalypse, but now they were inadequate.
"If only someone could awaken an earth-based superpower and connect the two buildings to create a sturdy fortress," Meng De mused. He did have subordinates with earth-based superpowers, but their levels were too low—only first-tier! The fortress they could build wouldn't be strong enough. A second-tier powerhouse could easily break through.
"It seems I'll have to put in more effort myself," Meng De thought, narrowing his eyes in contemplation.
Just then, a convoy appeared on the bridge leading to the island. Meng De smiled when he saw who was in the lead car—none other than Brother Jingfu and Lei Qiang. They had returned together after leading the team out to gather supplies. Neither of them had expected their leader to be waiting at the entrance to greet them. Excited, they jumped out of the car and ran toward Meng De, each trying to outpace the other.
"Boss!" Lei Qiang, a former special forces soldier, was the first to arrive. Brother Jingfu, the more aggressive of the two, was a step behind.
"Boss, you actually came out to greet me?" Lei Qiang said with a grin.
"Bullshit! Boss is here to greet me!" Brother Jingfu retorted.
"Wanna settle this?" Lei Qiang challenged.
"Bring it on!" Brother Jingfu shot back.
Meng De couldn't help but laugh at their antics. Despite having known each other for only a few days, their bond had grown quickly. After the playful banter, Meng De shared his earlier thoughts and arrangements with them. Both Lei Qiang and Brother Jingfu agreed without hesitation.
"No problem! We'll take turns going out from now on!" they said in unison.
Leng Feng, standing nearby, looked a bit embarrassed. "Boss, am I holding everyone back?"
Meng De smiled and reassured him.
"It's alright! Take your time!"
After settling the matter, Meng De took the women back with him.
He needed to hurry.
He had to find a way to lift the restrictions on Fei Er, the exceptional secretary,
Or Sister Yun, the caring elder sister.
These two women needed to be freed soon.
Leaving them as they were was not only making him restless.
Most importantly, it was time to claim the rewards from these two women.
However, to his surprise, on the very night he returned,
Fei Er, dressed in black stockings and a uniform, barged into his room and knelt before him.
Her face flushed, her tall figure incredibly alluring.
Her red lips were directly aimed at him.
"Meng De, I heard from Jia Yi that you have a way to help people awaken their superpowers?"
"I beg you to help me."
!!!
Meng De smiled, it seemed tonight he would have to start by freeing... an exceptional secretary.
