Madame Wu and the Sin-Peeling Tea
The wooden door closed, cutting off the sound of the roaring rain and the groans of hundreds of injured people out there.The shop was narrow, its walls lined with hundreds of small wooden drawers filled with dried spices, roots, and glass jars containing things whose origins were best left unquestioned—lizard eyes, snake hearts, and mushrooms that glowed blue. The scent of sandalwood incense mixed with bitter traditional medicine filled the air, masking the metallic smell of blood clinging to David's body.In the center of the room, behind an old wooden table polished by age, sat a woman.Madame Wu.She might be fifty years old, but her skin was as smooth as porcelain, almost wrinkle-free. She wore an emerald green Cheongsam with gold crane motifs. Her black hair was neatly bunned with a jade hairpin. She didn't look like a grandmother; she looked like a Queen who chose to retire in exile.She was pouring tea from a clay pot into two small c
The Dragon Princess, Mei Lin
"His daughter. Mei Lin."The name sounded foreign to David."Mei Lin is the guardian of that book," continued Madame Wu. "She is different from her father. She dislikes the Triad's dirty business, but she is bound by a blood oath to protect the family treasure. She is beautiful, deadly, and despises men who rely solely on lust."Madame Wu looked David up and down."She is a dual-blade expert. And she guards her father's room twenty-four-seven. If you want that book, you have to get past her.""Be careful, Grandson," Zypher, who was floating above the table, chimed in with a warning tone. "Women of the Zhang bloodline possess the Hell Needle technique. If she stabs you in the wrong place, your junk could explode."David ignored his grandfather. He looked at Madame Wu."Where is she now?""At the Triad headquarters. The Golden Dragon Club. Three blocks from here," answered Madame Wu. "Zhang definitely ran there to hide behind his daughter's skirt."David stood up. His energy was restore
Duel with the Dragon Princess
"I want what is rightfully mine," David corrected. "Step aside, Miss. I have no business with you. My business is with your father who stole it.""My father may be a thief and a coward," Mei Lin admitted without hesitation. "But he is still my father. And as long as I breathe, no one is allowed to touch him. Especially an outsider like you.""What a pity," David sighed, slipping one hand into his trouser pocket. "I don't want to hurt your pretty face."Mei Lin's eyes narrowed. "Arrogance."With a movement of her wrist that was barely visible, Mei Lin drew her steel fan.SWISH!The fan snapped open. At the tip of each fan rib, small razors glinted sharply.And without warning, she threw the fan.The object sped through the air, spinning like a giant shuriken, aiming straight for David's neck. Its speed was incredible.David didn't use Skill: Agility Boost. That was too wasteful of his lifespan. He relied on the pure refle
The Pheromone Trap
The VIP room on the top floor of The Golden Dragon Club was in shambles. The marble table was split in two by Mei Lin's twin sword slashes, expensive paintings were torn, and glass shards were scattered across the red carpet.David was cornered. Without using his lifespan energy for super speed, he was losing in technique against the Dragon Princess."You're slow!" Mei Lin shouted.The woman performed an acrobatic maneuver, leaping over the broken table, then sliding on the floor. Her long, powerful legs swept David's feet.David lost his balance and fell onto his back.Before his back hit the floor, Mei Lin had already jumped on top of him. Not to stab, but to lock. She dropped her swords for a deadly submission hold.Mei Lin's thigh, wrapped in stockings and a red cheongsam, coiled tightly around David's neck. A perfect Triangle Choke (Sankaku-Jime)."Ughk!" David choked.Mei Lin's thigh muscles were as hard as steel. She pressed on David's carotid artery, cutting off blood flow to
A Dangerous Prisoner
The light of a minimalist chandelier illuminated a luxury apartment in Midtown, one of the many Moretti properties now under David's control. However, the scene in the living room was far from normal.In the center of the room, seated on a sturdy antique wooden chair, Mei Lin was bound.But these were no ordinary bindings. The Dragon Princess's slender body was wrapped in strong rope arranged in intricate and artistic geometric patterns. The rope coiled around her neck, crossed over her chest accentuating her form, then locked her arms behind her back, and wound around her waist and thighs with mathematical precision.This was advanced Shibari.David hadn't tied her haphazardly. The System gave him knowledge of the Meridian Restraint Technique, an ancient method of binding martial artists by applying pressure to their Chi flow points. Every time Mei Lin tried to summon her internal energy to snap the ropes, the knots would press against her nerves, instantly deadening that power.Mei
Saving Sisi
David took a folding knife from his trouser pocket.With one quick motion, he cut the rope binding Mei Lin's hands.SNAP.The rope fell. Mei Lin was free.The woman was startled. She held her red wrists. She could attack David right now. The distance between them was zero. David wasn't acting guarded."My guarantee is your freedom right now," David said, taking a step back and spreading his arms. "You can try to kill me again, Mei Lin. Or you can help me destroy the people who sold your sister."Mei Lin looked at David's hands, then looked into the man's eyes.She saw cruelty there, yes. But she didn't see lies. This man was brutal, but he kept his word.Slowly, Mei Lin stood up. Her legs were still weak, but her killing aura had changed direction.She no longer looked at David as an enemy. She looked at David as her only hope."Prove it," Mei Lin said, her voice cold as ice, her eyes burning with a newfound vengeance aimed at her own father."Prove your words, Vexley. Take me to wher
Mei Lin Kneels
One hour later.Mei Lin sat in front of a laptop, her eyes glued to the screen.On that screen, the video recording from Franky's glasses played.Mei Lin saw clearly as her father's lieutenant handed Sisi over to the strangers. The betrayal was real. Her father had actually sold her sister.Tears of rage flowed down Mei Lin's cheeks.Then, the scene at the harbor continued. Mei Lin saw David, the man she had just tried to kill, the man she had insulted as a demon, embracing her sister.She saw the explosion. She saw David's back torn apart by shrapnel. She saw David not move an inch, becoming a human shield for Sisi.And she heard David's voice in the video: "Your sister, Mei Lin, sent me."The video ended.The door opened.David entered, limping. His shirt was gone, replaced by emergency bandages wrapped around his chest, but blood was still clearly seeping through.Behind him, Isabella guided Sisi in.
The Dark Tantra
David removed the bandages from his chest. The wounds from the grenade shrapnel still looked red and wet, painful. But he ignored them.David approached. This time, there were no forced pheromones. No binding ropes. This was a ritual.David sat cross-legged on the tatami mat. Mei Lin moved closer, then with astounding flexibility, she sat on David's lap, wrapping her long legs around his waist.When they united, the air around them vibrated."Hhh..." Mei Lin looked up, her eyes closed.It wasn't just physical penetration. It was an energy circuit connection. David could feel the Chi inside Mei Lin's body—hot, strong, and flowing rapidly like a river—entering his body through their point of contact."Follow my breath," David ordered gently.They began to move. Not with hurried animal lust, but with a measured martial arts rhythm. Inhale. Push. Exhale. Pull.Mei Lin's movements were incredible. Her flexible body allowed her to perform positions impossible for ordinary women. She arched
The Triad Coup
"FIRE!"Dragon Head Zhang's command split the silence of the dojo. Dozens of assault rifles roared in unison, unleashing a hail of hot lead at David and Mei Lin in the center of the room.RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!To the naked eye, they should have been shredded into meat sieves. However, David didn't flinch. He still held Mei Lin's waist with one hand, while the other hand was raised forward, palm open.ZIIING!A thin, transparent wall of golden energy manifested in front of them.[Active Skill: Qi Shield Lv. 1][Resource: Core Tantra (Infinite Loop).]The bullets struck the energy wall, stopping abruptly in mid-air as if hitting an invisible concrete barrier. They flattened against it, then fell clattering to the tatami floor.Clink. Clink. Clink.In seconds, a mound of flattened metal piled up in front of David. There wasn't a single scratch on their bodies."Impossible..." Zhang hissed, his eyes bulging. He lowere
Arthur's Next Move
THUD.One person knelt. Then two. Then the entire sea of people fell to their knees, pressing their foreheads to the floor."LONG LIVE DRAGON HEAD MEI LIN!" they shouted in unison.Mei Lin turned to David, then she too knelt on one knee, bowing her head to David."The Dragon Army is ready to receive your command, Master," Mei Lin said.David smiled with satisfaction. He now had money (Elena), muscle (Isabella), and an army of mass murderers (Mei Lin). His power in New York was absolute.However, the victory did not last long.Suddenly, the giant television screen attached to the dojo wall turned on by itself. A sharp static noise was deafening.Everyone turned to look.On that screen, a man's face appeared. Arthur Vexley. He sat in a leather chair in a very luxurious room, holding a glass of wine. Behind him, a view of snowy Alpine mountains could be seen.Arthur smiled, but his eyes were as cold as ice."B
