When the accident happened, the entire signal of the Oriental Shopping Center was jammed, making it impossible to communicate with the outside world!

"Damn it!" Catherine wrinkled her brow as she looked at the Clown's demeanor.

In the Underworld, there seemed to be no such character as a Clown; where did this guy come from? Were they not afraid of the Ancestor Dragon's retribution?

As the Forbidden Area in the Underworld, Huaxia was respected precisely because of the strength and toughness of the Dragon Group! Although the Dragon Group had no interest in dominating the world, any force that wanted to cause trouble in Huaxia would surely receive a fierce response from the China Dragon Group!

This was where Catherine was puzzled—this Clown and his organization behind him seemed to be taking the Dragon Group too lightly. They massacred ordinary people in broad daylight, which was essentially a slap in the face to the Dragon Group!

Could the Dragon Group tolerate this? Impossible! Catherine could imagine, after this incident, the Clown would absolutely face the coldest pursuit of the Dragon Group!

In the control room, the Clown sat in a swivel chair with his legs crossed, a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

Next to him was a somewhat stolid middle-aged man who said to the Clown, "Your Excellency the Clown, I think we shouldn't be doing this, as it will enrage the Dragon Group!"

The Clown glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "Then what do you think we should do? Proceed step by step, plan for the long term? Don't forget, the higher-ups have only given us seven days. Moreover, in the past three days, we haven't found any trace of Ling Feng. If we keep dragging our feet, how confident are you that we can obtain the Divine Artifact?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "But I still feel that now is not the time to confront the Dragon Group head-on, especially since our plan is not yet fully prepared!"

"Don't worry!" the Clown laughed, "Since they are destined to be our enemies, why should we leave them any face? Moreover, after this incident, I'm sure it will cause panic within Huaxia's internal structure, right? After all, the ordinary citizens of Huaxia are still kept in the dark, still believing that the world is peaceful, filled with sunlight... Hahahaha..."

Suddenly, with a sinister tone, the Clown's eyes filled with a twisted light, "How would they know about the darkness hidden beneath this world? How could they taste the despair and fear this world brings? Since they are kept in the dark, why don't I do them a favor and let them grow up a bit? Wouldn't that be better?"

"And so what if it enrages the Dragon Group?" the Clown licked his lips, "We have all crawled out from Hell as Devils, what else do we have to worry about?"

The middle-aged man fell silent and after a long pause, he said slowly, "I just hope that you manage to acquire the Divine Artifact smoothly this time; otherwise, the organization's wrath is not something you alone can bear!"

Having said this, the middle-aged man turned and left, "I'll step out for a moment; I think the people from the Dragon Group are arriving soon!"

The Clown waved his hand, "Go ahead, Fulai! Today, I'll show you how I make the Dragon Group lose face! If I can't hand over the Divine Artifact, I wouldn't mind making the entire Oriental Shopping Center and the more than two thousand people inside disappear from this world. At that time, I reckon even the China Dragon Group won't be able to silence the voices of criticism. Imagine that scene, it's quite amusing, hahaha!"

"Such a madman!" Fulai frowned and then left the control room.

...

By the time Ling Feng arrived, the situation was nearly out of control, and the exterior of the Oriental Shopping Center had already been surrounded by the police.

Ling Feng did not waste time with the police but directly infiltrated the building.

As soon as he entered, Ling Feng felt a strong dark presence and, looking down at the ashes on the first floor, his brows furrowed.

"The audacity of the other party is truly unrestrained!" Killing Aura flashed between Ling Feng's brows. To lay hands on ordinary civilians meant the enemy had completely discarded the rules of the Underworld!

This type of insane enemy was the most difficult to deal with, something Ling Feng understood well, because you could never predict what they might do!

"Ah ha, our guest has arrived!" Just as Ling Feng stepped inside, a playful voice came from mid-air, "Citizens of Huaxia, now open your eyes, for the most exciting and realistic scene of this world is about to unfold before you!"

As the voice spoke, countless streams of black energy rose from the ground, flowing into everyone inside, and the shoppers horrified to find their bodies paralyzed, unable to move anything except their thoughts and eyes—not even to bend a finger!

Following the voice, the crowd witnessed a shocking scene!

There, floating in mid-air, was a man wearing a clown mask, but that wasn't what was most important. What mattered was that behind him, two pairs of huge black wings were unfurling!

How could a human being possibly have wings? Didn't the beings with wings, the Angels, belong to the myths from the Papal Court of Light? Were Angels not creatures of a mythological world? How could they possibly exist in the real world?

For a moment, almost everyone was stunned, unable to believe the spectacle before them, some even harboring a glimmer of hope that it was all just a play!

Ling Feng's expression was dark; this man with two pairs of wings was truly a madman!

The people of the Underworld and ordinary civilians almost lived in two different spheres within the same world! Those from the Underworld also tried as much as possible to keep the two worlds separate, an unwritten rule of the Underworld!

But this individual with a clown mask had now audaciously made his presence known in broad daylight, flaunting his wings for over two thousand people to see! Who knew what kind of shock this would cause, especially now in a time of such developed media!

"Who exactly are you!" Ling Feng demanded, staring at the Clown.

The Clown looked at Ling Feng and smiled slightly, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Clown, from an unknown little organization. You must be Ling Feng from the Dragon Group, am I right? Indeed, you are much more handsome in person than in your photos!"

"An unknown little organization?" Ling Feng sneered, "It's Hell's Gate, isn't it?"

"Oh dear, I didn't expect our little organization's name to be known by someone from the Dragon Group; this is problematic," Clown said cheerfully, "We don't have any confidence that we can elude the Dragon Group's pursuit. Whatever shall we do?"

However, there was no hint of panic on Clown's face, instead, there was a trace of mockery.

Ling Feng pointed with his right hand, and a sharp Sword Qi instantly enveloped the Clown.

"Jumping to swords without a word, you really are a hot-tempered boy!" The Clown still wore a cheery smile as the Sword Qi was deflected by his wings, just twenty centimeters away from him.

Although the attack was just a test, the ease with which it was dismissed showed that this man called Clown was indeed a formidable opponent!
