Shreev drove Asser in a car as they followed the trails of Simba's armored car.
Simba took out a cell phone and said, "Hello? Where's their convoy? Are they found? I want to find their leader!"
"Oh? He left after arriving at the airport? He flew northwest?"
Simba reversed his armored car and drove in the direction of Xiao Ming's factory.
...
Zhao Yao flew at supersonic speed and left a trail of air vortex behind him as he circled in the sky before flying to Xiao Ming's factory.
He landed at the factory entrance. His ears quivered and he discovered that the factory was empty.
His figure flashed and Zhao Yao's after-images appeared at the entrance, empty lots, grass patch, and the corridor before he arrived at the manager's office.
His ears quivered and he heard a person's voice inside.
"Xiao Ming?" Zhao Yao pushed open the door as he shouted, "Are you inside?"
He saw Xiao Ming struggling as he was hung from a rope.
Zhao Yao was stunned. He immediately flashed, cut the rope loose and caught him on the ground."Are you killing yourself?!"
Xiao Ming covered his throat and said dejectedly, "I... I..." He turned his head to look at Zhao Yao and was frightened.
Zhao Yao got Roly Poly to activate the invisibility but it was only partial invisibility. The revealed parts of his body showed distorted flesh and Xiao Ming got a fright.
Xiao Ming screamed and backed up as Zhao Yao said, "I'm an apostle. I'm using invisibility. Don't be frightened."
Xiao Ming recovered himself and looked at Zhao Yao."Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Yao said, "Black Panther asked me to save you. What happened to you? Even if you fail at business, there's no need to kill yourself."
Xiao Ming was disgruntled and said, "Fail at business? Do you know how much money I owe?" His eyes were clouded as he recalled his memories."I come from a rich family. Ever since I met this one person, I was cursed. My family went bankrupt and all my funds were frozen.
I participated in a promising business venture in Pakistan and was cheated of my remaining money. I sold my house to invest in stocks, hoping for a comeback."
Zhao Yao thought, "I told you that business venture was not reliable."
Xiao Ming said, "I went through the historic stock market crash and lost all my money."
"I told you not to sell your house." Zhao Yao sighed in his thoughts."You are a stock market dummy."
Xiao Ming said, "Later I was duped into joining a pyramid scheme and almost couldn't get out."
Zhao Yao thought, "Why don't you mention how I saved you?"
Xiao Ming said, "From that moment onwards, I turned over a new leaf and stopped taking short cuts. I started from scratch. I collaborated with KFC, then Mcdonalds, Burger King and Wallace. In the day time, I went to the fresh market to get investments."
Zhao Yao said, "Get investments?"
Xiao Ming said, "We called this a multi-area personality investment, a charity venture to hit the target's weak points. By having a face to face discussion, we eliminate psychological barriers. We discuss money with friends and make friends with money."
Zhao Yao was befuddled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ming said, "Sometimes, outsiders call this begging."
"D*mn, this is outright begging." Zhao Yao said, "Your starting from scratch is absurd."
"This is called a step a footprint, " Xiao Ming said."Finally I accumulated enough money. I heard from Black Panther that the commoners in Africa were cheap and easily conned... cough... warm and friendly. Africa's rich in land and resources so I came here to set up a factory..."
Xiao Ming sighed."Two days after the factory was set up, a war broke out. The workers fled and the orders dried up... The factory closed down and I owed someone in China a few million dollars. When I think of this debt, I can't sleep and eat..."
Zhao Yao said, "... Talk nicely with him, he will understand."
Xiao Ming said, "Really? If I got him to invest in this factory, would he agree?"
Zhao Yao stood up abruptly and looked at the main door as his ears quivered."Someone's here. Don't move, I'll protect you."
The bearded Simba was at the main entrance. He sneered as ten more armored cars arrived and hundreds of warriors disembarked.
Behind a rock a few hundred meters from Simba, Shreev and Asser got down from their car and peeped at their targets.
Shreev said, "They seem to be looking for this factory?"
Asser said, "I can't let them hurt the innocent. I am going after them. Follow my instructions to use your superpower."
"Hey, wait, I haven't..."
Asser charged out like a lightning for more than a hundred meters and gradually slowed down. Then he fell to the ground motionless.
Shreev was stunned."Why is he not moving?" He waited for a while and found Asser motionless. He was puzzled."Did something happen to him?"
After thinking for a while, he walked slowly to Asser's side and said, "What's happened?"
Asser turned his head with his distorted face. He was full of tears as he said, "My leg! My leg's cramped! This body's too weak!"
Seeing Asser in tears like a crybaby, Shreev was very doubtful about them saving the world.
"Why don't we go home. I'll make some beef steak for you."
Asser shook his head."No! Let me defeat Arria before that." He stood up in pain as he looked at Simba and said, "Forget it, this distance is sufficient."
Threads that transformed from Asser's blood oozed out from his body. Like blood snakes, they squirmed towards Simba.
Before Asser attacked, he saw a grotesque man walk out from the factory.
At the factory entrance, Simba and his men smiled cruelly at Zhao Yao's appearance."You thought you are able to escape? After offending us, you would be pursued forever till the end of the world!"
"Great, you are everlasting and indestructible. Aren't you an unlimited experience points juicer?"
Zhao Yao laughed sinisterly."If I'm not satisfied, all of you won't be able to leave."
"This is not what we expected. Why is his laugh more badass than us?"
After hearing Zhao Yao's laugh, Simba and his warriors felt a strange terror as if they had gotten everything wrong.
