It wasn't long after White Fox left.
Scarface Mouse came sprinting out of the tunnel at breakneck speed.
The moment he arrived, he froze dead in his tracks.
The ground was soaked in blood, littered with over a dozen corpses. Their former high-and-mighty leader, Black Tiger, had actually been carved into a human torso, lying in the dirt barely breathing!
Scarface Mouse stared at Liu Yang in utter disbelief, unable to hold back his shock.
"My god... what happened here?! Did I step straight into a slaughterhouse? I ran as fast as I could, but I still missed the whole fight! You... you're way too terrifying!"
He walked over to Falcon's corpse and spat on it with disgust.
"Pah! Dumbass. Always strutting around like a big shot in front of me. Why aren't you flexing now? Dead as a doornail, aren't you? Let's see if you still dare to look down on your Grandpa Mouse!"
Seeing Scarface Mouse arrive, Black Tiger realized everything in an instant. It was this rat's betrayal that brought Liu Yang here, causing this bloody slaughter.
He gnashed his teeth, glaring hatred at Scarface Mouse.
"Scarface Mouse! You rat bastard! You're the traitor who sold out the base! If I knew you were going to betray us, I would've killed you long ago!!!"
Scarface Mouse just smirked arrogantly, completely unfazed.
"Back in this base, not a single one of you gave a damn about me. I'm thrilled you're all dead! What betrayal?
As if you ever treated me like one of your own?
Besides, look who you pissed off! Even if I hadn't snitched, you idiots would've gone looking for trouble with him anyway. Wouldn't you still end up dead?"
Black Tiger spat blood toward Scarface Mouse.
"Pah! Useless trash! A fence-sitting snake like you will be despised wherever you go! You think you've latched onto a big tree? A traitor like you-do you really think he'll ever trust you?!"
"That's none of your damn business. You better worry about how many minutes you've got left to live!" Scarface Mouse scoffed, ignoring him completely.
He scanned the surrounding bodies.
Suddenly, Scarface Mouse noticed someone was missing. His face paled, and he rushed toward Liu Yang.
"Boss! S-Someone's missing! The base's second-in-command, White Fox! That crazy bitch is insanely strong and completely nuts! If we don't kill her now, she's definitely going to come back for revenge!"
While Black Tiger had been the strongest fighter in the base, White Fox was no pushover.
More importantly, her brain didn't work like normal people's. She acted entirely on whim without any plan or regard for consequences-a total wild card.
She might be laughing and chatting with you one second, then plunge a blade into your throat the next.
Scarface Mouse was terrified of her-even more than he feared Black Tiger.
"Who's talking shit behind my back?" a soft woman's voice echoed from the entrance.
Hearing that voice, Scarface Mouse's face drained of color. Trembling with terror, he instantly hid behind Liu Yang and whispered frantically.
"That's her! That's White Fox!"
White Fox walked into the room, dragging Black Tiger's daughter behind her.
Seeing this, Black Tiger's eyes nearly burst with rage. He screamed at her in fury.
"White Fox! You rotten bitch! May you die a horrible death! I'll make sure you end up in a ditch!"
Scarface Mouse looked at Black Tiger, then at White Fox, completely bewildered.
What the hell?
Has Black Tiger lost his mind? Why is he cursing his own second-in-command?
White Fox is the only elite left alive-isn't she supposed to be his last lifeline?
Why is he screaming at her?
White Fox completely ignored the ruined man's cursing. She flashed a sweet smile at Liu Yang.
"Handsome, I brought you your trophy. Black Tiger's biological daughter. Just turned eighteen, delicate and fresh as a flower."
Liu Yang scanned the girl from top to bottom.
She had a delicate face with a bit of baby fat, smooth, porcelain-white skin, and an effortlessly breathtaking look. She was an absolute stunner, easily comparable to a top-tier campus belle like He Yushi.
Clearly, Black Tiger's strength had protected her from the horrors of the apocalypse. She had been living in luxury this whole time, unaffected by the world's downfall.
Seeing the blood and corpses everywhere, the girl trembled violently.
Terror filled her eyes, yet strangely, when her gaze fell upon her dismembered father, her face showed no grief whatsoever.
Liu Yang nodded approvingly as he looked at the beautiful young woman.
"Not bad. Great potential. Take her to the next room."
A girl like this was prime material for expanding his lineage. Even if she wasn't Black Tiger's daughter and just someone he stumbled across on the road, Liu Yang wouldn't let her go.
With his system, every high-quality woman was a vital asset for increasing his power.
He would rather take a chance than miss an opportunity to grow stronger.
Hearing Liu Yang's order, Black Tiger lost his mind and wailed desperately.
"AAAAH! No! Don't! Just kill me! Please, kill me! Spare my daughter!"
White Fox shoved her dagger straight into Black Tiger's mouth, twisting it violently to shred his tongue into bloody ribbons.
"Shut up!" she snapped coldly. "Don't ruin the handsome guy's mood! Just lie here and listen to your daughter's screams!"
...
Inside the adjacent room.
Liu Yang looked at the trembling girl and asked, "You know what's going to happen next, right? Are you scared?"
"Yes," she replied honestly.
Liu Yang said coldly, "Blame your father. He shouldn't have targeted my woman. You're the price he has to pay for his stupidity."
"I don't want to be his price," the girl said, her voice shaking slightly but clear. "Because he's not my father. If I'm going to pay a price, I want it to be for myself. I'll make sure you enjoy yourself-just spare my life."
Liu Yang raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh? You don't recognize him as your father? But he was screaming so pitifully out there. Seems like he cares about you a lot. Besides, seeing him chopped into a torso like that... you really aren't sad at all?"
The girl shook her head.
"Why should I feel anything for a piece of shit?
The moment he shoved my mother into a horde of zombies just to buy himself time to escape, he stopped being my father. The only reason he treated me well was to ease his own guilty conscience.
I've imagined him dying in front of me a thousand times. Today, my dream finally came true!"
Liu Yang was taken aback.
He hadn't expected Black Tiger to be ruthless enough to sacrifice his own wife to zombies just to save his own skin.
What a heartless monster.
Liu Yang was ruthless, but only to his enemies-never to his own women.
Learning this made Liu Yang hesitate.
Originally, he intended to force Black Tiger's daughter as a cruel form of vengeance against Black Tiger.
But the girl felt nothing for Black Tiger and hated him to the bone.
If that was the case, wasn't she just an innocent victim?
Noticing the hesitation on Liu Yang's face, the girl took the initiative and stepped closer.
"Come on. I'm ready."
Liu Yang sighed softly. "Uh... since you don't view Black Tiger as your father anymore, I guess I don't need to treat you like his daughter for revenge. I'll be gentle."
"No, you need to!" the girl insisted, her eyes flashing with a fierce, vengeful light. "Punish me severely! I'll scream as loud as I can! I want him to hear every sound and suffer a fate worse than death! I want him to die drowning in horror and guilt!"
