Chapter 23
Shen Zhuo the Great Demon King
Seven days later.
Shenhai City Supervision Office.
Countless genomic maps floated in the deep void. Two massive three-dimensional diagrams of nucleotide sequences hovered in mid-air, their intertwined chains glowing with a faint blue light, illuminating Shen Zhuo’s silent, slender profile. The lenses of his glasses glinted with a faint shimmer.
A surveillance video was playing on the tablet of the control console. It was from the first basement level of the Supervision Office seven days ago. On the screen, Bai Sheng clutched his profusely bleeding wound while Rong Qi sat in his wheelchair, his posture almost leisurely and composed, facing Witch Italdo not far away:
“You were not a creature of this planet originally, yet you were suppressed in a human body by Shen Zhuo, your powers sealed to their absolute limit… Dig out Bai Sheng’s heart, and I will set you free, completely restoring your true, original power.”
…
With a loud boom, the Witch was thrown into the rubble of the brick wall, coughing up blood and letting out a string of curses that no one could understand. Rong Qi, the target of her curses, wore a faint smile.
Shen Zhuo pressed pause.
“Do you think Rong Qi understood her language then?” he asked without turning his head.
Shui Ronghua stood respectfully behind Shen Zhuo, her long curly hair casually tied up with a pen. Hearing his question, she shook her head. “Italdo herself has forgotten the specific meaning of those words; she only remembers they’re for cursing. I’ve asked her many times before, but her memories of her homeland are too vague.”
“…” Shen Zhuo frowned slightly.
“Endless wars, massacres, exile, then a long hibernation, drifting helplessly… until she had drifted across countless light-years and was brought to Earth by the gravity of a meteorite.” Shui Ronghua sighed. “That’s all she can remember as a conscious entity.”
Shen Zhuo said nothing, his two fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop as if deep in thought.
Shui Ronghua observed his expression carefully. After a moment, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Do you think that person named Rong Qi could possibly… come from the same place as Italdo?”
Shen Zhuo looked up at the mid-air. The DNA double helix, like the legendary entwined serpents of Eden, was silent and magnificent, slowly intertwining, reflected in his deep eyes.
That was Rong Qi’s genomic map, extracted from the wire bed in the Quanshan County Health Center.
“He clearly stated the success rate and out-of-control radius of the Causality Law, data that even Bai Sheng himself couldn’t test.” Shen Zhuo said softly, “I hope not, but the worst truth doesn’t bend to my wishes.”
He paused, then suddenly asked, “What do you think the sudden evolution five years ago really was?”
Shui Ronghua said, “A Pandora’s box that fell from the sky?”
Shen Zhuo let out a short laugh. “…Pandora’s boxes don’t fall from the sky.”
“12 million years ago, tectonic movements in Africa led to the extinction of numerous ape populations. The surviving hominids east of the Great Rift Valley were forced down from the trees and began to spread across the land. 8 million years ago, the equatorial belt shrank, and the Nakalipithecus died out in large numbers due to vegetation changes. The populations that could adapt to the dry environment gradually evolved into hominins. 2.5 million years ago, Africa’s climate worsened, and a great ice age and drought arrived. The Australopithecines, who depended on the savanna, died in droves. A small number of groups that learned to use tools evolved into Homo habilis. 70,000 years ago, the Toba supervolcanic eruption unleashed an explosive yield of a billion tons, and humanity faced a population bottleneck during the long global ice age. Homo sapiens walked out of Africa, interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans, and survived and reproduced to this day.”
“Evolution is a long, painful transformation over tens of millions of years. Only cataclysm and extinction can bring about new life. But the meteorite shower five years ago was like a surprise gift package from the sky,” Shen Zhuo said. “I don’t believe such benevolence exists in the vast universe. I just want to know in what way humanity will be made to pay the price that has yet to be paid.”
Shui Ronghua’s gaze fell on the massive DNA double helix in mid-air. After a moment, she patted Shen Zhuo’s shoulder.
“I also wish the sudden evolution had never happened, but it’s too late,” she said softly. “We can only do our best to maintain the current situation. All senior researchers are willing to sacrifice their lives, until the day the HRG project can no longer be sustained.”
Shen Zhuo shook his head wordlessly and turned off the projection. The countless faintly glowing blue sequence maps vanished from the air in an instant.
“Submit Rong Qi’s genetic information to the International Supervision General Administration. Do your best to track all his activities and information worldwide,” he said, taking off his lab coat and tossing it into the soiled linen bin. “This person won’t give up. He might even show up at Nielsen’s bedside in the middle of the night and stab him to death. Tell him to be careful.”
Shui Ronghua couldn’t help but laugh.
Shen Zhuo pushed open the lab door. The driver, Luo Zhen, was waiting outside, looking mostly recovered. His previously severed right forearm had been replaced with a titanium alloy mechanical hand. The engineering department had loaded it with a micro-missile launch port and even thoughtfully installed a Gaode navigation system on the arm. It looked incredibly cool. He gave a simple-minded salute. “Supervisor.”
Shen Zhuo grunted in acknowledgment and ordered, “Get Chen Miao for me. I have something for him.”
“Yes, sir!” Luo Zhen immediately took out his phone and stepped aside.
As Shen Zhuo walked towards the elevator, he glanced at the time and said to Shui Ronghua without turning back, “The offering for summoning Witch Italdo last time at the Quanshan County Health Center, as per our contract, has been prepared. Have her come with me to B-City tomorrow.”
Shui Ronghua nodded from behind him, then suddenly remembered something and hesitated, “Um… Supervisor.”
“What is it?”
“Italdo… asked me a question the other day.”
Shen Zhuo pressed the elevator button and glanced at her quizzically.
Shui Ronghua’s expression was indescribable. “She asked me what Chanel is.”
“…”
“She said she wants to buy Chanel.”
“…”
The air fell silent. The words “what the hell” were clearly written in Shen Zhuo’s eyes. After a moment, he said, “Have Chen Miao take her with my salary card. Three items at most, no more. Who told her about the existence of Chanel on this planet?”
Shui Ronghua was hesitating whether to betray a certain wealthy second-generation heir when the elevator doors dinged open. Luo Zhen, who had gone to make the call, rushed back with his phone, looking utterly distraught. “Supervisor! Wait, Supervisor! Something’s happened to Captain Chen!”
Shen Zhuo stopped in his tracks.
“Captain Chen, Captain Chen was kidnapped on the street when he went downstairs to buy milk tea! The second team couldn’t catch up. The kidnappers are driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan!”
“…………”
Under everyone’s gaze, Shen Zhuo’s expression was hard to describe. After a long moment, he said slowly:
“…First, call the traffic police. Issue ten speeding tickets to the Baihe Group.”
·
Meanwhile, at a construction site in Shenhai City.
The top floor of the unfinished building was open to the elements on all four sides, with exposed steel bars on the concrete walls. The wide-open space was unobstructed, and a punching bag hung from the ceiling.
Thump! Thump thump thump! Thump—
Bai Sheng delivered a heavy uppercut, and the punching bag, weighing over two hundred kilograms, flew into the air.
“So, what’s up, Bai-ge?” Chen Miao sat on a chair not far away, his hands cooperatively tied behind his back, a look of utter boredom on his face.
Behind the chair, several evolutionists stood guard, warily watching him, ready for him to break free and make a run for it.
“Senior told you about the HRG project, kicked you out of the hospital, and then you two gave each other the cold shoulder for seven days, not speaking to each other,” Chen Miao sighed. “—Isn’t that great? Why did you have me kidnapped?”
With a slap, Bai Sheng caught the returning punching bag. It went from swinging back rapidly to a complete standstill without a hint of buffer, stopping steadily in his arms in an instant.
“Great?” Bai Sheng raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
“…” Chen Miao looked around and said sincerely, “At least it’s better than Senior finding out you’ve set up a secret base like this under his nose and are harboring dozens of evolutionists. Don’t you know the regulations in Shenhai City? Group gatherings of evolutionists are prohibited. In ancient times, what you’re doing would be considered amassing troops with rebellious intent. This building is your base for rebellion. It’s a crime that would get your entire clan executed, you know?”
The evolutionists behind him immediately glared at him, their expressions clearly saying, “Shut up, you dog of the Supervision Office.”
Bai Sheng released the punching bag, lifted the hem of his T-shirt to wipe his sweat, revealing his strong, beautiful abs, and wagged his index finger. “You’re mistaken.”
Chen Miao made a “I’m all ears” expression.
Bai Sheng said, “First, with your senior’s surveillance methods, this building is hardly a secret. He just hasn’t found a reason to send troops to surround and annihilate it yet. Second, this building is not a base for rebellion, but merely a shelter for a few compatriots who can’t integrate into society.”
Chen Miao said, “Heh.”
“If one day you get fired by Supervisor Shen, you’re welcome to come here for a meal. It’s better than robbing a bank when you have nowhere else to go, right?”
“?!” Chen Miao immediately puffed out his chest, as if greatly insulted. “I am a proud Master of Evolutionary Biology. I would never rob… wait, why would I get fired when I’m so obedient and capable? I will forever be Senior’s favorite junior!”
“Alright, alright, Chief Eunuch.” Bai Sheng walked to the water dispenser, and as he filled a glass, he waved his hand. The few evolutionists obediently bowed their heads and dispersed, exiting the door.
Chen Miao immediately wriggled free from the ropes in a few moves, hissing and shaking his hands. He heard Bai Sheng say, “I called you here to help me think of a plan.”
“?”
Bai Sheng said solemnly, “Your senior and I have been giving each other the cold shoulder for a whole seven days.”
Chen Miao nodded in understanding. “His Majesty has not summoned you for a whole seven days.”
“What are you talking about, kid? Do you know what the cold shoulder is?” Bai Sheng emphasized with a heavier tone. “He’s not talking to me, and I’m not talking to him. We’re mutually ignoring each other, you get it?”
“…” Chen Miao asked humbly, “So what’s the plan you need me to think of now?”
Bai Sheng immediately asked, “How can I get His Majesty to summon me again?”
Chen Miao put his head in his hands, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.
“Bai-ge, I don’t get it,” he said earnestly. “Is the Koenigsegg not fun to drive, or is being the top donor on a livestream not fun? If you’re really that bored, can’t you just open an electronics factory and go screw some screws yourself? Normal people try to avoid our Supervision Office at all costs. Why are you so desperate for Senior to pay attention to you?”
Bai Sheng said solemnly, “Because I want to become a civil servant.”
Chen Miao said, “Pfft—”
Chen Miao nearly choked on his own saliva. He waved his hand and asked, “Bai-ge, I’m begging you, can you give me a normal person’s reason?”
“…” Bai Sheng pondered for a moment, then said accommodatingly, “Because my lifelong dream and pursuit is to strive for world peace and dedicate my life to protecting the Earth—I just want to be a civil servant!”
“Pfft!”
Luckily, Chen Miao wasn’t drinking water, or he would have sprayed his entire trachea out of his mouth.
“What’s with that expression?” Bai Sheng said impatiently, his arms crossed. “I’m a dignified S-class. Wherever I go, people beg me to join their Supervision Office. Do you know what kind of treatment the other S-classes get? If this were some small African country, I could have established myself as a chief, you know?”
Chen Miao said, “I know, I know…”
“I’ve worked for your Shenhai City Supervision Office three times for free. When your senior was being chased by that madman Rong, he clung to my neck and wouldn’t let go. But the moment he woke up in the hospital, he turned his back on me. You tell me, is that reasonable?”
Chen Miao thought to himself, I have reservations about Senior’s actions, but I have some thoughts on the ‘clinging to your neck and not letting go’ part…
“Where’s my official position? My salary? My injury compensation? Which department do I submit my travel expenses to?” Bai Sheng pressed on. “Your senior won’t even add me on WeChat. Is he determined to get me for free?”
Chen Miao thought to himself, You’re right, our senior is planning to get you for free…
“In short, you must think of a way today to make Shen Zhuo lower himself and contact me voluntarily. If all else fails, you can just stay here as a hostage. I’ll tie you up and hang you outside the building as a logo, and then have Shen Zhuo come and ransom you in person.”
Bai Sheng patted Chen Miao’s shoulder and turned to walk towards the bathroom in the distance. Chen Miao was instantly terrified. “No, Bai-ge! Senior won’t come to ransom me! Senior will tell me to hang myself with a three-foot white silk sash!”
Knock knock knock. Just then, there was a knock on the door. An evolutionist underling poked his head in with a phone. “Bai-ge, there are three people downstairs looking for you. They’re all foreigners.”
Bai Sheng said offhandedly, “Who?”
“A kid with two underlings. They say they’re your friends from when you were in the US, and they claim to be from…” The man was a little confused. “The New York Supervision Office.”
At the back entrance of the construction site, a Land Rover was parked outside the rusty gate. A blond, blue-eyed boy who looked no older than 20, with two bodyguards, stood face to face with a large black German Shepherd inside the iron gate.
“Hmph… hmph…”
The dog bared its sharp teeth, letting out threatening growls, its sharp claws scraping white marks on the concrete ground.
“Billy Kingston,” the boy said, opening his ID. “New York State Supervisor.”
The evolutionist holding the dog’s leash looked at the ID photo, then at the so-called supervisor before him, with his highlighted hair, punk leather jacket, and piercings in his brow, ear, lip, and nose, looking like a little male model from a Hollywood nightclub. His face screamed, “This has to be a fake ID.”
“Oh, not every supervisor is as dogmatic and old-fashioned as Shen Zhuo,” the boy said with a bored yawn. As he raised his hand, one could see he even had glittery nail polish on his pinky finger. He then turned back and complained to his underlings in English, “So sad. Do these people have to live in a slum? Do they even have a li~fe?”
“…” The evolutionist turned his head and whispered into his phone, “Who are these people? Are they selling Bitcoin? Should I let the dog chase them away?”
The other end of the phone immediately replied, “No, no, no! Bai-ge said to bring them in quickly!”
“?”
“Bai-ge is ecstatic. He was saying something like, ‘The bait is here, the bait is here! Watch me catch a big one this time’…” On the top floor of the unfinished building, the underling stared at the bathroom door that had slammed shut like a whirlwind. “And now he’s gone to get all dolled up like a whirlwind, saying he has hope of earning himself a civil servant position today in his best state. What does that even mean?”
“…”
Both ends of the phone line were plunged into deep confusion.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the top floor, Chen Miao squatted on the ground with his WeChat open, looking like he was facing a great enemy. “Hello, Senior, emergency situation! A few American devils have secretly infiltrated Shenhai to find Bai-ge! I’m guessing they’re trying to poach him! Please call me back!…”
·
It was indeed against common sense that a place as prime as Shenhai City would have such a massive unfinished construction project.
However, upon entering, one would discover that the interior of the building actually had electricity and signs of renovation. It had even been partitioned and remodeled into a game room and an indoor basketball court.
“So many evolutionists are gathered here…” one of the younger, red-haired bodyguards said softly in English.
The three of them went up the open concrete stairs, floor by floor. On each floor, they encountered several evolutionists. Some were playing games, some were sleeping. One floor even had a sauna and swimming pool dug out, and a little girl with a water-based ability was swimming as if no one else was around, her speed as fast as a fish in the waves.
“It’s normal for many lower-level members of the same species to gather around an S-class ability user,” the older, white man who looked to be in his forties replied, looking around and frowning. “But it’s a bit strange. Supervisor Shen actually allows so many evolutionists to gather here… It really doesn’t seem like his iron-fisted style.”
Kingston rolled his eyes undisguisedly. “This is S-class territory. Even that bastard Shen has to yield.”
“…”
The two bodyguards looked at each other. After a moment, the red-haired one lowered his voice and asked his colleague, “Why do I get the feeling our boss really hates Shenhai’s Supervisor Shen? Is there some backstory?”
The older colleague immediately made a shushing gesture. Just as he was about to say something, the evolutionist leading the way stopped.
“We’re here. This is it.”
The top floor space opened up suddenly. The floor was a single layer of self-leveling cement. As far as the eye could see, it was no less than six or seven hundred square meters, converted into an industrial-style indoor gym.
In a corner far away, the bathroom door was tightly closed, and the sound of a shower running could be heard.
Chen Miao gripped his phone tightly, staring at them warily. “M-Mr. Bai is in the shower! He said not to let anyone in! Please leave!”
Kingston: “…”
Kingston didn’t know Chen Miao. He tilted his head in confusion for a moment, then suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a small lightbulb lit up over his head.
Then, his eyes lit up, and he walked straight to the bathroom door and pushed it open.
“!!” Chen Miao was about to explode. When he reacted, he immediately opened WeChat, his thumb flying across the screen with lightning speed:
[Senior! The little devil has a seductive walk and a flirty style! He’s clearly not a decent person! The corner of your wall is in danger!]
[Come quick!!]
Splash—
Inside the frosted glass, steam rose, and water continuously washed over Bai Sheng’s lean, sturdy back. Every inch of his muscle lines contained a beauty of strength.
Just then, with a click behind him, the bathroom door opened and closed, followed by a voice so alluring it was off the charts: “Hey~ Honey~”
The air suddenly fell silent.
“Don’t be like that, dear,” Bai Sheng said, slicking back his wet hair with one hand, completely unmoved. “The honey trap, as a form of persecution and exploitation of women, is a feudal remnant of the last century. Every person with a moral conscience should firmly resist it, not to mention you’re not even a woman.”
Kingston’s Chinese wasn’t that good. Question marks instantly appeared over his head.
Feudal remnant? What does that mean?
“Besides, I am a civil servant with a firm will. I have already rejected your country’s Supervision Office’s kind offers many times, so…”
Bai Sheng turned off the shower and grabbed a towel to dry his spiky hair.
“Turn off the video, put on your clothes, or I’ll twist your head off, Supervisor Kingston.”
Kingston lost interest and turned off the mini camera pen in his shirt pocket.
“You’re too heartless,” he said with regret. “At least we tried to hire you with a high salary, sincerely persuade you, and harass you for a good few years. And you just up and left, even using a fake name to board the plane. What a man who doesn’t value old ties!”
“Not blowing up your country’s Supervision Office before I left was the last shred of kindness I possess as a human being,” Bai Sheng replied politely.
He changed into a clean, sharp shirt and trousers and walked out of the bathroom.
Chen Miao was furiously typing on his phone, his face filled with righteous indignation, even though the entire WeChat page was filled with his own messages, with not a single reply from the other side.
[Don’t worry! Senior! I will bravely fight against American imperialism and resolutely defend the corner of your wall!]
Bai Sheng smacked him on the back of the head and snatched his phone, turning it off. “Alright, your mission is complete. Go play on the side.”
Chen Miao clutched his head. “Huh?”
“Pardon my intrusion, Mr. Bai.” Kingston followed him out, step by step, still not giving up. “The New York State Supervision Office really wants to try again, so we came over as soon as we found your departure record. Why did you give up everything in New York to come to a place like Shenhai—”
He gestured around with his hands. “—a place with no human rights?”
Bai Sheng picked up the two-million-plus green-faced steel Daytona watch hanging on the dumbbell rack, and as he put it on, he estimated the driving time from the Shenhai City Supervision Office to here. “Where are there no human rights?” he asked.
Kingston raised his eyebrows dramatically, his ruby brow stud sparkling. “Don’t you know the supervisor of Shenhai is Shen Zhuo?”
Bai Sheng said nonchalantly, “Supervisor Shen? I know him. He even specifically invited me to dinner yesterday.”
Chen Miao: “…”
Kingston: “…”
Kingston’s first reaction was exactly the same as Yue Yang’s back then. “You two are close?”
Bai Sheng’s movements paused, as if he had heard an incredible question. He asked back, “Close?”
“…”
With a clap, Bai Sheng brought his hands together, his eyes shining with sincere light. “How can the relationship between people be simply defined as close or not? Supervisor Shen and I, we hit it off right away, regretting not meeting sooner. It’s like finding a kindred spirit in a vast world, like a day apart feels like three autumns!”
Kingston: “…………”
The poor little foreign devil thought he was going crazy. He subconsciously looked to his two underlings for help, but they both returned the same blank expressions.
“Did you know, the first day I got off the plane, Supervisor Shen specially brought a lot of people to welcome me at the cabin door. He even helped me with my luggage and let me take his special car home. He said he would definitely be very kind and friendly to me, and even proactively revealed some of the contents of the supervisor’s handbook to me…”
“Stop, stop,” Kingston interrupted, stammering. “Kind and friendly?”
Bai Sheng said very naturally, “Uh-huh.”
“Shen Zhuo?!”
“Uh-huh.”
“…”
Kingston’s expression was as if his intelligence had been insulted. After a moment, he gestured emphatically in the air, gritting his teeth. “That devil surnamed Shen is both arrogant and mean! It’s impossible for him to be kind and friendly to anyone!”
Bai Sheng spread his hands and said, “If you want to think that, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! How have you all been bewitched by him?” Kingston was fuming. “Shen Zhuo is just a two-faced person! He’s like a devil to those below A-class, torturing them in every way, but he pretends to be an upright and innocent person to S-classes. Do you know who the last S-class he bewitched was? That Fu Chen from Asia back then. I suspect that man was willing to give his heart and soul for Shen Zhuo, but didn’t Shen Zhuo end up killing him with his own hands?!”
Chen Miao, his head forcibly held down by Bai Sheng’s palm, struggled to get up and retorted angrily, “That’s not what happened at all! Fu-ge… Senior… wooo wooo…”
“And our dear International Supervisor General, Odin’s Wolf Nielsen,” Kingston said with his arms crossed, rolling his eyes, which were coated in shimmery highlighter, without any concealment. “We all privately suspect that in his heart, the world’s creatures are divided into two types: one is Shen Zhuo, and the other is all the other unknown and unimportant trash besides Shen Zhuo. If you had access to the internal supervisor forum, you could go and see everyone’s discussions. Shen Zhuo’s fatal attraction to S-classes can be described as metaphysical. One comes, one dies; two come, a pair dies. We once suspected Shen Zhuo had some kind of witchcraft or black magic…”
“Nonsense!” Chen Miao was dumbfounded. “What kind of crazy topics are you supervisors discussing all the time?!”
“In short, get out while you can. Don’t succumb to the great demon king surnamed Shen.” Kingston, with a string of clanking punk metal decorations on his wrist, flicked his bleached-pink golden hair and gave Bai Sheng a wink. “Come back to New York with me. I can offer you double the salary of Shenhai, and I can make you very happy, you know.”
Bai Sheng burst out laughing.
“Is that so? Sounds very attractive.” He stood up from the shadows in the corner, glanced at his watch with satisfaction, his handsome face shining with a playful light. “But I’m afraid I can’t obey, because compared to being happy, I still prefer fishing…”
Fishing?
The little foreign devil was confused. Just then, the young bodyguard answered a call, his expression changing. “Sir, there’s a situation downstairs.”
“What is it?”
“A special car from the Shenhai City Supervision Office has arrived.”
Kingston was instantly pricked as if by a steel needle. He looked out from the empty window of the unfinished building. “Shen Zhuo?!”
“Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!!” At the back entrance of the construction site, the wolfhound suddenly barked ferociously and lunged forward, ramming against the iron fence like a small calf.
Outside the construction site, a black bulletproof special car slowly came to a stop. The driver got out and quickly opened the door. Shen Zhuo, dressed in black, a slender and upright figure, stepped out. His eyes caught the Land Rover with a US diplomatic license plate by the sidewalk, and his movements paused.
Kingston: “…”
The two bodyguards: “…”
Shen Zhuo turned his head and looked up at the top floor of the unfinished building.
—Despite the great distance, the three foreigners simultaneously felt as if they had been caught by that icy gaze.
The next moment, they saw the great Supervisor of Shenhai City walk back to his car, open the trunk, pick up a special submachine gun from the Supervision Office, turn around, and aim it at the Land Rover—
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!
The car windows exploded, the doors caved in. The special electric current bullets rained down like a storm, turning the Land Rover into a deformed sieve from all 360 degrees. All the evolutionists in the building were startled by the sound and looked out, dumbfounded.
Shen Zhuo stopped firing, aimed at the car’s fuel tank—BOOM!
A ball of fire rose from the ground, and the entire car was reduced to scrap metal.
In the glow of the fire, Shen Zhuo’s face was impassive. He then turned around, and with the last round of bullets, he blasted the construction site’s gate clean off.
BOOM!!
With a deafening crash, the twisted iron gate smashed into the dirt, sending up a cloud of dust several meters high.
The entire building was filled with a terrifying, deathly silence. All the evolutionists’ faces were blank, unable to believe their eyes.
“…We’re surrounded by him, aren’t we?” After a long moment, someone managed to force out, trembling.
Shen Zhuo said nothing. He tossed the empty submachine gun to his driver, straightened the lapels of his suit, and strode into the construction site. As he passed the guardhouse, the wolfhound whimpered and rubbed against his trouser leg.

His Majesty has arrived
Shen Zhuo is that cat meme that yells and starts shooting madly
🤣🤣🤣🤣
How to make a proper entrance 😂😂😂
