749 Advancing 1 (2/2)

An intense pain erupted from her chest, and spread all over her body.

Grina was instantly in the chest by Tu Lan's foot, and she shot out as though from a cannon, crashing hard into the metal cover over the top of the warehouse, sinking into it.

With the crisp sound of leather footsteps, Tu Lan walked up to the wall beneath her, and looked up.

”Pure speed and power, is that the power of your Blood Breed Holy Technique? Looks like we truly are sisters, even the paths we take are so similar. Or perhaps I should say, were so similar.”

Seeing the disappointment in Grina's eyes, Tu Lan suddenly felt impatient and frustrated. She was no perfect standard, she was also a normal person. She could be happy, scared, furious, jealous. Why did these people always glorify her, why did they always try to force their false ideals onto her, and then look disappointed at her?

That sister from back then was like that, and now Grina as well!!

”Don't look at me like that…” Her smile vanished.

But Grina did not seem to hear her at all, she had just entered the upper level after all, and she was not very strong in real combat anyway, that was why she was only in charge of espionage this time and not battle. Faced with the oppressive power of the level difference that Tu Lan emitted unknowingly, she could not even move her body, her movements sluggish.

But she did not seem to hear anything, and continued staring at Tu Lan quietly with disappointed eyes.

”I said, don't look at me like that!!” Tu Lan suddenly lost her temper, her body creating after-images as she appeared in front of Grina, and hit her with her forearm.

Pff!

Blood sprayed everywhere from that hit, spraying out of Grina's mouth and splattering all over Tu Lan. With that difference in level, even the blood of upper level Blood Breeds lost their activeness, and could no longer return to her body automatically. She could only bleed out like a normal human.

”Grina…” The spray of blood seemed to wake Tu Lan up, and pain flashed through her eyes.

She reached out her hand to caress Grina's face lightly.

”Why are you so stubborn?”

Grina still said nothing, staring at her quietly, wisps of disappointment and sorrow in her eyes.

”Such… a disgusting gaze!” Rrrip!

Tu Lan tore off Grina's clothes, revealing her entire upper body. Violently, she reached out to grab Grina's breasts.

”Where's the mask?”

”...”

Ssssk!!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Tu Lan actually ripped Grina's left breast right off.

There was no pity in her eyes, no hesitation, just cruelty.

”Tell me, where's the mask?”

A sheen of sweat had broken on Grina's forehead out of sheer pain. She panted a few times, clenched her teeth, and turned away.

”If only it was Rosna, if it were her, she would have told me obediently a long time ago…” Tu Lan said calmly. Looking at Grina's stubborn face, she began to reminisce.

”The Sleepless Faces will push the Blood Breeds into a bottomless abyss! As a Blood Breed, you actually serve the humans of your own will, you traitor!!” Grina spat at her, but Tu Lan dodged it.

”Whichever side makes me happy, that's the side I'll join. Whichever side can give me power, that's where I belong. Isn't that very simple?” Tu Lan replied matter-of-factly.

The two were suspended on one of the warehouse's metal walls, in mid-air. Tu Lan had one hand pierced through the wall to keep her suspended there, whereas Grina was simply embedded into the wall, and kept from moving by the level difference oppression.

”Looks like I'll just have to do it this way…” Tu Lan calmed her heart, and black whirlpools began to appear slowly in her eyes, meeting Grina's gaze.

Blood Breed Hypnosis, a special oppression ability only upper level Blood Breeds could use against lower level Blood Breeds. It was a natural talent, like Human Hypnosis.

But strangely, Grina's gaze only had mild contempt, she did not seem to be controlled at all.

”Give up, all the upper levels who have organization secrets have accepted the Death Apostle chief's power, so that we won't be controlled by Hypnosis.”

Tu Lan harrumphed coldly, and pulled back her Hypnosis.

The problem now was that she did not have enough time, if she could not find the mask as soon as possible, her real body would begin to deteriorate after two hours, so she needed to rush back.

Bam!

She knocked Grina out with one fist, dragged her down and tossed her over her shoulder, floating to the ground lightly.

She had already completely controlled the surrounding guards here with her illusions, and anyone further out would not be able to hear the sounds coming from here anyway, that was why no other Blood Breeds from elsewhere had discovered her after so long.

Of course she was not afraid of being discovered, she could even just forcefully control this ship.

But that would take too long.

Brutality flashed through her eyes, Tu Lan glanced at the mountains of crates, and made a cruel decision.

She took out her phone, checked quickly if it was being watched, and then immediately rang a complicated number.

The dial only beeped once, and then the call was picked up.

”Lady Tu Lan?”

”Track the location of this phone of mine, and send ships over immediately,” Tu Lan said in a low voice.

There was a silence on the other side, probably to track her, and a moment later.

”Understood, we will immediately mobilize the navy, and arrive in one hour.”

”Remember to bring some navy soldiers to take over this cargo ship.”

”Understood.”

The call ended, and Tu Lan opened the warehouse door slowly, carrying Grina over her shoulder as they disappeared rapidly down the cargo ship's corridors.
