Chapter 98: Chapter 95: The Elegance of That KickLi Ru is dead. Professor Zhao couldn’t imagine the extent of her pain, but to die by skinning was too cruel.

    "Demon, you’re a devil. You deserve to go to hell and suffer all the world’s tortures to cleanse your filthy soul." Professor Zhao cursed, his body collapsing as he sat down on the ground in grief.

    Zhang Lu thought quickly, and finally, a glint appeared in her eyes, "You are K12."

    Without any indication of questioning, Zhang Lu had already confirmed K12’s identity.

    The influence of the Blood Rose organization in Huaxia is substantial. Among them, twelve women with the codenames K1 to K12 are all incredibly skilled and stunningly beautiful, using their charm and bodies to complete mission after mission.

    K12 remained very calm, not surprised at all that Zhang Lu could recognize her. After all, she was already on the blacklist, one of Huaxia’s most wanted criminals. It would be strange if someone like Zhang Lu didn’t know about her situation.

    "Your real name is Qin Xue. Your parents were both university professors. When you were six, your mother took you to a playground and was captured by Blood Rose traffickers. Your mother was pushed off the helix path by traffickers to save you and was hit by a car and died. Your father lost his wife and daughter, turned grey overnight, and now lives a lonely and poor retired life. At nineteen, you carried out your first mission, killed a billionaire, and stole over 120 million in cash. Since then, you’ve been repeatedly involved in crimes. There are 215 recorded victims who died at your hands, and with Li Ru, it has increased by one."

    Zhang Lu slowly narrated, mentioning Qin Xue’s background to see if it could make Qin Xue remember something.

    Being abducted at six, childhood memories had long faded. Furthermore, any organization training captives had methods to erase memories to cultivate loyal and cold-blooded assassins, with no previous memories allowed to exist.

    "I don’t know what you’re talking about. What parents, what Qin Xue—none of it exists for me." K12 glanced at Zhang Lu with indifference and sneered dismissively. In her mind, there was only executing orders and completing tasks, nothing else.

    "You better surrender; you can’t escape." Zhang Lu warned.

    "Escape? What a joke. Since my debut, I’ve never fled disgracefully. When have I ever not completed a mission openly? Why would I escape?" K12 chuckled, then directed a bloodthirsty glare at Ye Fan. "Let’s see how capable you are. If your footwork is as good as your brain."

    "You won’t be disappointed. I can kick you to death with one strike." Ye Fan said calmly.

    "Haha." K12 laughed loudly, then her gaze turned cold. She shouted sharply, "Just you, die!"

    She rotated her arms, and with both hands crossed, a silk-thin flexible wire appeared, and her figure darted towards Ye Fan. If the wire encircled someone’s body, it would surely cut through like slicing mud, severing flesh.

    "Watch out." Company Commander Gao warned in time, feeling the pressure from K12, his eyes becoming considerably wary.

    "Keep her alive; she’s useful. If we can extract some useful information, it would be immensely significant for us." Zhang Lu was not worried at all. She trusted Ye Fan’s strength, believing that capturing K12 was pivotal for understanding Blood Rose. However, it depended on K12 revealing anything. For criminals like K12, being executed a hundred times wouldn’t be excessive. Employing some tactics was unavoidable to pry open her mouth.

    "I disdain killing her." Ye Fan commented. In truth, he didn’t enjoy or wish to kill personally.

    K12 became increasingly furious, her gaze venomous. Ye Fan’s disdain made her rage uncontrollably. She sneered, "I’ll sever your head and kick it around like a ball."

    Ye Fan’s expression remained calm. Just as K12 was about to reach him, he launched a flying kick that hit K12’s stomach directly. The kick was so fast that the average person couldn’t even see Ye Fan make the move.

    "Crack!" The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out. K12 felt as though she was struck by a destructive force, breaking five or six of her ribs instantly. More importantly, it felt like her organs were shattered, sending waves of excruciating pain.

    "Ah...!" K12 cried out in agony. Her voice dragged long as her body flew into the air and slammed against the wall. Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Bang!" With a dull thud against the wall, K12 fell face-first to the ground in a forceful, intimate contact.

    "Plop!!!" Blood mixed with organ bits spewed out desperately.

    Ye Fan held back with that kick. Otherwise, he truly could have killed her, killing not just any woman, but a well-known beautiful and exceptionally strong fighter.

    K12 was terrified, trembling, and horrified. She coughed blood trying to roll over to stand, only to find she didn’t even have the strength to rise. The pain engulfed her like a tide, distorting her face.

    She had never before shown such a despairing and fearful expression. She had always been invincible, easily solving troubles, but now, a single kick left her severely injured. This brought her unprecedented fear.

    "Who... are... you?" Even in death, K12 wanted to know whose hand she had fallen to, questioning intermittently.

    Ye Fan paid no attention, disinclined to answer unnecessary questions.

    "That kick, oh my, the speed, the force, the control—it was practically divine artistry."

    Company Commander Gao was absorbed in the brilliance of that kick. A seemingly simple kick, yet the timing was caught excellently, striking exactly when K12 was about to attack, with perfect precision, severely injuring K12 with perfect control—flawless.

    This made Company Commander Gao envious and extremely amazed.

    "If only I had that speed and strength, wouldn’t that be amazing!" Company Commander Gao sighed.

    "So easily dispatched, just one foot swung and turned a master into this sorry state." Zhang Lu’s lips twitched slightly. She anticipated Ye Fan would be fine, but she had no idea Ye Fan would not just be fine—he was exceptionally terrifying. A master like K12 became no better than an ant under Ye Fan’s foot.

    "The more I come into contact with him, the more I realize his unfathomable depth." Zhang Lu felt Ye Fan grew ever more mysterious in her heart.

    Professor Zhao didn’t notice the terror in Ye Fan. Seeing K12 vomiting blood on the ground, he assumed K12 was just a role for weak women and not very strong, hence her defeat.

    "I will kill you." Professor Zhao saw hope in avenging Li Ru by killing K12 and charged crazily.

    "Professor Zhao, calm down." Company Commander Gao stopped him.

    "Ah..." At that moment, a scream was heard. It was Zhao Shiyan’s voice.
