Chapter 450 Three major forces
Hearing the explosion and shouts from not far away, Han Li instinctively looked over. Suddenly, a blazing fireball hurtled towards her, but Li Chenglong gently pulled it away, and the fireball whizzed past her, exploding five or six meters behind her.
In the blink of an eye, in less than two seconds, Han Li stared at the fire hydrant that had been blown to pieces, her face already pale with fright.
Li Chenglong glanced at the aftermath of the explosion, then looked ahead and saw that the fireball had been launched by a little girl of about ten years old. She seemed to be playing a game, constantly firing fireballs, setting fire to several makeshift houses, and occasionally launching fireballs at the fleeing people, all while letting out innocent laughter. However, to the fleeing people, this laughter sounded like the roar of a demon.
Han Li finally realized what was going on. Looking at the little girl, she said angrily, "Now I understand what you meant earlier. People who take pleasure in taking other people's lives and property must be punished."
Li Chenglong's face was already frosty. If it were an adult in front of him, he would have killed them without hesitation, regardless of gender. But this was just a child who looked to be only about ten years old. If he could be given some proper guidance in the future, there was still a chance to save him.
Thinking of this, Li Chenglong made his move: "Space Shift! Come here!" The little girl who was still recklessly releasing fireballs more than a hundred meters away suddenly appeared in front of him and was then subdued.
Although she had witnessed Li Chenglong's miraculous abilities several times in the past few days, Han Li was still shocked by what she saw before her. Pointing at the little girl restrained by Li Chenglong, she asked, "How...how did she get here?"
Li Chenglong did not answer the question. Instead, he tightly restrained the little girl's hands with his hands, then took out a rope made of level 11 spider silk from his psionic space and tied her up.
After the initial shock, the little girl recovered and shouted, "Where did you come from, you idiot? You don't even know the Wang family, yet you dare to tie me up! I order you to untie me right now, or I'll burn you and your whole family to death with a fireball!"
Ignoring the little girl's screams and curses, Li Chenglong took out a clean towel and gagged her. After he finished, the little girl's guards arrived. Seeing their young mistress tightly bound and gagged, the leading man immediately bowed and said, "I don't know where you've come from, but this is the young mistress of the Wang family, one of the four great families of our Gods Base. I don't know where she has offended you, so I apologize on her behalf. However, please untie her first, and we can sit down and have a proper chat."
Li Chenglong scrutinized the five men. The leader appeared to be around thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with a muscular build and a menacing face, clearly a trained fighter. More importantly, he was a level 10 ability user, considered quite strong in the base. The other four were only level 5 ability users, their strength negligible.
He said calmly, "An 8th-level fire and earth dual-elemental ability user is arbitrarily destroying other people's property and trampling on their lives in this place. I was just going to teach her a lesson. Instead of stopping her, you people just stood by and watched, and some of you even cheered her on. It's really hateful."
As he spoke, five orbs of light appeared in Li Chenglong's right palm—one large and four small—and shot straight at the five people. Although the five were prepared, they couldn't react in time and were struck by the orbs, flying more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
The little girl, who had initially glared defiantly at Li Chenglong and Han Li upon seeing her guards arrive, stopped struggling and began contemplating how to torment them. However, seeing her guards, especially Uncle Zhang who was far stronger than her, defeated in a single move, fear crept onto her face.
After casually disciplining the five people, Li Chenglong looked at the little girl and asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?" The little girl first shook her head slightly, but then immediately began nodding vigorously.
Li Chenglong didn't take her away. Instead, he cleared a clean space where he was and began to teach the little girl. Actually, Li Chenglong wasn't averse to killing; he had killed many people both before and after the apocalypse, but those he killed were all deserving of death. The little girl's inability to distinguish right from wrong, her simple pleasure in torture and killing, needed to be corrected.
Removing the towel from the little girl's mouth, Li Chenglong asked sternly, "How many people have you killed?" After Li Chenglong's lecture, the little girl now felt a deep-seated fear of him. Her eyes were wet, and she said tremblingly, "I haven't killed anyone. Although I like to tease people with flames, I only burn them at most. I would never kill anyone. This morning, after I leveled up to level 8, I wanted to test my newfound strength, which is why I came here. Because my mastery of my abilities wasn't good enough, I didn't expect the damage I caused to be so severe."
Then Li Chenglong asked her some more questions, and he figured out the details of the Wang family. An hour passed like this, and Han Li asked with some puzzlement, "Brother Li, why hasn't anyone from the Wang family come yet? Those five people left an hour ago, they should have brought people back by now."
Li Chenglong took out two paper bags of biscuits, gave one to Han Li, and said, "Wait a little longer. If the Wang family doesn't come, we'll go back. As for her, we'll take her with us."
Meanwhile, the Wang family residence was already packed with people. Inside was a detached villa, with additional buildings constructed at the back for their subordinates to live in. In the living room, the head of the Wang family, and also the little girl's grandfather, Wang Xuance, listened with a furrowed brow to the explanations of the five people. Beside him stood his two sons, including the little girl's biological father, Wang Chuanfeng.
After listening to the five people's stories, Wang Xuance sat on the sofa without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought. Wang Chuanfeng said anxiously, "Father, please allow me to lead men to attack. Xiaoli is in that guy's hands now; every minute that goes by increases her danger."
Wang Chuanhe, standing beside him, nodded in agreement, saying, "Big brother is right. In the past two years, when has our Wang family ever suffered such humiliation? Dad, if you just say the word, I'll be the first to charge in."
"Shut up!" Wang Xuance roared. "He killed five superhumans, including Zhang Yang, in one move. Haven't you realized how strong that person is? We need to carefully consider this matter, or it could lead to serious trouble. Shanshan has already gone to investigate. Let's wait for her to return before discussing it further."
Hearing their father say this, the two of them dared not say anything more and could only hope that their sister would return soon so that they could decide on their next course of action.
