The Devil who devoured Snow White

Lu Mengjie watched as Yong Liwei took Hunter on. Her eyes could not follow the speed of their movements as they fought each other. 

When the rest of Hunter's men, those who were still alive, saw that their leader could stand up against Yong Liwei, they could see that the other man was still overpowering their leader that's why they wanted to get up and help him; however, as they saw Yong Liwei's harsh gaze, the men couldn't bring themselves to move. Their instincts stopped their bodies from doing so. It was as if they would be courting death if they move even a step.

Hunter fluttered back after receiving a ferocious kick from Yong Liwei. He fell on one of the tables then coughed out blood after. How could Yong Liwei still fight after all the injuries he gave him earlier? He may be strong but he was bound to lose strength so why? Why was he still standing? Where was he getting all his strength from? How could he still smile so treacherously? Has he gone crazy? Why did he look like he was enjoying every bit of it instead?

"I was expecting to see some of your fancy moves but if this is all you've got then I am quite disappointed, Hunter." His deep, eerie voice reverberated in the air. 

Ever since he was born inside Han Yizhou, he not only gained knowledge but also survival skills. He may have studied in a military academy but after graduating, he never stopped there. Yong Liwei had learned a few types of martial arts. He didn't want to stick to one technique so from traditional martial arts to karate, taekwondo, krav maga, and tai chi, he did his best to master them all. He maintained his well-built body even up to this day. That was why he was so flexible and had a versatile fighting technique which gave his enemies a hard time. 

"Do you even deserve your title? The strongest?" He scoffed. "Don't make me laugh. Come on, put in more effort, try harder, and do everything you can to impress me."

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" Hunter got up and once again, attacked Yong Liwei. His face was red with fury and his eyes burning with hatred all because of the insult he had heard.

Yong Liwei may be scary at that moment but Lu Mengjie couldn't help but notice the blood that trailed behind him with every step that he took. He was wounded heavily. She couldn't call out to him knowing that if he got distracted, his opponent might take advantage of it but… no matter how she looked at it, Yong Liwei was winning. Was he going beyond his limit? Why did it feel like there was as if something was pushing him to stay on his feet?

"ARGHHH!!!" Hunter's ear-piercing scream of pain was heard across the room as Yong Liwei twisted his arm. "I-I'll tell you! I-I'll give you the name so… please… S-stop!" He finally begged, he couldn't tolerate the excruciating pain.

Yong Liwei's eyes remained cold and empty. "Already? But I'm in a great mood tonight." He had a frightening laugh that made everyone's body tremble in fear. "You don't have to worry, I swear I'll… make it hurt like hell for you!"

"N-no… no… stop—ARRGGHHH!!!" Another scream filled the room and this time it continued.

Those who witnessed the scene, including Lu Mengjie, became pale, especially when they saw the creepy, devilish smile plastered on Yong Liwei's lips as he tortured Hunter by snapping his bones. He even used the mercenary's knives to stab him in his arms and legs. He could go as far as to skin him but he didn't since it would take time so he used other means; slicing his fingers one by one. It was as if Yong Liwei loved seeing Hunter's face distorted with pain. He had already received a fate worse than death the moment Yong Liwei appeared. Hunter turned into a bloodied mess in a matter of minutes.

There was a thick smell of blood. Hunter was on the ground, barely alive. He was badly tormented by Yong Liwei.

Some of the men decided to take the opportunity to escape while Yong Liwei was distracted… or at least that was what they thought. The devil-like man noticed them rushing towards the door so to stop them, he took Hunter's knives and threw them at those who were running away. One was stabbed in the head, the other in his leg, and the third person in his nape. The three men fell to the ground, two of them dead.

"No one is allowed to leave this place, I am just starting—" He paused when he finally caught a glimpse of the person he thought had left, he slowly turned to fully face her. His eyes were wide in surprise. Why was she there? She should have left with her brother earlier. He didn't want Lu Mengjie to see this bloodthirsty side of him. He knew that she would fear him for the rest of her life if she did… everyone did.

Lu Mengjie was still looking at him with wide eyes. Her face was pale, drips of cold sweat rolled down her temples. Her heart was pounding fast. She could not even move her body but she could feel her legs quivering. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. It was as if there was a lump in her throat, obstructing her from even saying a word.

"Mengjie…" He took a step towards her which caused her to subconsciously take a step back. His eyes darkened when he saw her reaction. He clenched his jaw and his fists balled tightly. He could feel his body losing its strength but he could not allow himself to show weakness, not when four of Hunter's men were still alive. He hardly tore his gaze away from her. He needed to take care of the rest while his body could still fight. 

It was then that Lu Mengjie noticed that one of the men had successfully grabbed the gun laying on the floor, beside the dead body of the man her brother killed. He held it in his hand and pointed it to Yong Liwei.

"Liwei! Look out!"
