    Chapter 254

    Reality unfolded very differently from what Molly had imagined.

    The tattooed man suddenly drew a dagger and lifted the unconscious Bai Xingzhi by the collar.

    Holding the blade against the little girl's throat, he shouted from afar,

    "Don't come any closer!"

    "See this knife?"

    "Take one more step, and I'll cut her throat."

    Every one of Molly's summoned beasts stopped in place.

    She froze.

    At that moment, Sister Bai rode her Frost Iron Wolf to Molly's side.

    The instant she heard those words, she cried out,

    "Don't hurt her!"

    The tattooed man sneered.

    His dagger remained firmly pressed against Bai Xingzhi's neck as he pointed at the Ironwing Swiftbird, Firetail Lion, and Long-Claw Jumping Mouse.

    "Send those three back."

    "Right now."

    "Otherwise..."

    "...she dies."

    Molly bit her lip.

    She remained silent.

    None of her summoned beasts moved.

    Seeing that they still hadn't retreated, the tattooed man's expression became vicious.

    Without hesitation, he drove the knife into Bai Xingzhi's arm.

    Fresh blood instantly soaked through her sleeve.

    "Retreat!"

    Sister Bai's heart shattered.

    She screamed,

    "We're retreating!"

    "We're retreating!"

    "Please don't hurt her anymore!"

    Then she turned toward Molly.

    Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

    "Lily..."

    "Please..."

    "Pull them back."

    Molly hesitated.

    "But if we retreat..."

    She couldn't finish the sentence.

    Sister Bai understood exactly what she meant.

    If they retreated...

    The kidnappers would escape.

    But she simply couldn't watch Bai Xingzhi be injured before her eyes.

    The tattooed man slowly raised the dagger again.

    Sister Bai cried out desperately,

    "No!"

    "We'll retreat!"

    Then she looked pleadingly at Molly.

    "Please..."

    That single plea completely threw the inexperienced young woman into confusion.

    After a long hesitation, Molly finally lowered her head.

    "...Retreat."

    Her summoned beasts reluctantly backed away.

    Her mind was in complete chaos.

    What should I do?

    She possessed overwhelming strength.

    Yet at this moment...

    She was completely powerless.

    The tattooed man burst into triumphant laughter.

    The Broadback Crawling Beast slowly turned around before disappearing into the darkness.

    The two women could only watch helplessly as the kidnappers vanished into the night.

    Sister Bai finally collapsed.

    She sat on the ground, covering her face as she sobbed.

    Molly stood frozen.

    Hatred, unwillingness, and helplessness filled her eyes.

    Can somebody tell me...

    What should I do?

    For the first time...

    She realized that overwhelming power alone could not solve every problem.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Su Hao and Yashan had already transformed into their King of Steel forms.

    Their black armored figures raced silently through the darkness.

    The distance between them and the kidnappers rapidly shrank.

    Su Hao spoke calmly,

    "Yashan."

    "The summoned beasts are yours."

    "I'll handle the kidnappers."

    "Protect Xingfeng and Xingzhi first."

    Yashan nodded.

    "Leave it to me, Boss Wei."

    Fighting alongside Su Hao once again made his blood boil.

    The two simultaneously activated the Light Absorption Rune and the Sky Break Rune.

    Their already black armor became almost impossible to detect within the night.

    Without another word, Su Hao condensed one long blade and one short blade.

    He casually tested their balance.

    The familiar feeling instantly returned.

    His swordsmanship had long since become instinct.

    No unnecessary movements.

    No wasted effort.

    Only the most efficient kill.

    The two shadows accelerated.

    Completely silent.

    When they were still around ten meters away...

    The Broadback Crawling Beast suddenly became restless.

    Its entire body trembled uneasily.

    The tattooed man frowned.

    "Hm?"

    For Su Hao...

    Ten meters was nothing.

    The two black shadows flashed past.

    Like ghosts.

    Like a cold wind.

    Twin blades shimmered briefly beneath the moonlight.

    Slash.

    The tattooed man and his companion suddenly felt their vision rising.

    The world spun violently.

    Thud.

    Their heads struck the ground.

    Only then did they realize...

    Their bodies were still standing.

    Their final thought surfaced.

    Did... my head... fall...?

    Darkness swallowed everything.


    ---

    Su Hao landed lightly before turning around.

    Yashan had already severed the head of the Broadback Crawling Beast.

    The enormous beast collapsed.

    The two kidnappers' bodies and the unconscious children were thrown forward.

    Steel rapidly flowed beneath Su Hao's feet.

    Two giant steel hands rose from the ground and gently caught Bai Xingfeng and Bai Xingzhi before they could hit the earth.

    "Done."

    Su Hao dispersed his blades and walked over.

    He immediately noticed the stab wound on Bai Xingzhi's arm.

    Without hesitation, he activated a Healing Rune.

    The bleeding quickly stopped, and the wound began recovering.

    Yashan hurried over and carefully checked Bai Xingzhi.

    After confirming she had no other injuries, he gently laid her down before examining Bai Xingfeng as well.

    Only after confirming both children were safe did he finally relax.

    Su Hao dismissed his King of Steel form.

    "Let's go."

    Yashan also withdrew his armor.

    Carrying one child in each arm, he watched steel spread beneath the corpses.

    The bodies slowly sank underground.

    Over the past two years...

    Yashan had become remarkably proficient at disposing of corpses.

    Neither of them paid the slightest attention to the kidnappers' remains.

    A moment later...

    The two quietly walked back toward Yongxin City.


    ---

    As they walked, Yashan suddenly spoke.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "This is the first time I've truly realized how disgusting these child traffickers are."

    "When I think about the street children back in Temple Forest City..."

    "Nobody even wanted them."

    "But here..."

    "They're treated like merchandise."

    Su Hao replied calmly,

    "The key is demand."

    "Even in Temple Forest City, children occasionally disappeared."

    "There were simply too many homeless children."

    "You just never noticed."

    Yashan frowned.

    "But what's the point of kidnapping children?"

    Su Hao shrugged.

    "I've never kidnapped children."

    "So how would I know?"

    "Still..."

    "They're usually adopted, trained as soldiers or assassins, used for experiments, or something similar."

    "Judging from everything we've learned so far..."

    "The people specifically targeting very young children are most likely conducting experiments."

    Yashan looked down at the two sleeping children in his arms.

    His expression slowly darkened.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "I'm angry."

    Su Hao's expression remained unchanged.

    "So?"

    Yashan answered honestly,

    "I want to destroy the Summoned Beast Resistance Association."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "That's certainly possible."

    "And I fully support it."

    "But eliminating them won't be easy."

    "The Summoner Association has been trying for years."

    "They still haven't succeeded."

    "The Resistance continues to operate."

    Yashan frowned.

    "So..."

    "What should I do?"

    Su Hao glanced at him.

    "Yashan."

    "Now that you've inherited the Prophet's Gift, your intelligence has improved tremendously."

    "You should start learning to solve problems yourself."

    "When faced with a goal..."

    "Don't immediately ask what to do."

    "Break the problem into smaller parts."

    "Then solve those parts one by one."

    "If you ask a question that's too broad..."

    "No one can give you a useful answer."

    Yashan scratched his head.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "How do I break it down?"

    Su Hao patiently explained,

    "Take your goal."

    "'Destroy the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.'"

    "That's the final objective."

    "Now divide it."

    "First..."

    "Where are they?"

    "Second..."

    "Why hasn't the Summoner Association been able to eliminate them after all these years?"

    "Third..."

    "How is their organization structured?"

    "Fourth..."

    "How do you identify their members?"

    "Fifth..."

    "What exactly are they trying to accomplish?"

    "Sixth..."

    "What hidden techniques or trump cards do they possess?"

    He paused before continuing.

    "If you don't understand these questions..."

    "You won't even be able to find them."

    "And even if you find them..."

    "You may not defeat them."

    "And even if you defeat one branch..."

    "You may not eradicate the organization."

    "And if you don't understand their purpose..."

    "Destroying the Resistance today may simply give birth to another organization tomorrow."

    Yashan stood there blankly.

    "I just wanted to kill some bad people..."

    "I didn't expect something so simple to become this complicated."

    In Yashan's mind...

    Problems had always been solved the same way.

    Beat down anyone who stood in your way.

    Then continue doing whatever you wanted.

    It had worked perfectly in the previous world.

    Only now was he beginning to realize...

    Reality was far more complicated.

    He looked at Su Hao.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Why is it like this?"

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "Because we're imperfect beings."

    "If perfection came naturally..."

    "There would be no need for growth."

    He gently patted Yashan's shoulder.

    "Think about it over the next few days."

    "Decide what your actual goal is."

    "Break it into smaller problems."

    "Then solve them one at a time."

    "Consider it the homework I'm assigning you."

    Yashan's eyes instantly lit up.

    "Homework?"

    "From Boss Wei?"

    He clenched his fists excitedly.

    "I'll definitely score one hundred!"
