Three days later.
On the wedding day, the grand occasion was unparalleled.
The entire Titan City was filled with joy, dispelling the previous gloom.
To ensure a true celebration by all, Can Shang Company granted all residents of Titan City a three-day holiday, distributing Titan coins to encourage the festivities.
As a result, the news of Shang Family's eldest daughter Shang Siteng's wedding quickly spread across every street and alley.
Moreover, on the large screens on all the streets of Titan City, videos of Shang Siteng were being played on loop. Her luxurious attire, beautiful and graceful appearance, and elegant figure instantly made her the object of envy for many women in Titan City.
"She's really beautiful, worthy of being the Shang Family's eldest daughter, such a grand wedding!"
"A citywide carnival, Can Shang Company really spared no expense this time. Titan City on hold for three days, how much Titan coins must this cost?"
"To them, money is just a string of numbers. Why wasn't I born into the Shang Family."
"Tsk-tsk, I wonder who the groom is."
Judith stood quietly on the street, listening to the people around her discussing. She raised her head and looked at the woman on the big screen.
"She is not happy," Judith said quietly.
Hearing Judith's words and seeing her lost expression, the nearby people silently distanced themselves from her.
Crazy. They thought silently in their hearts.
Just now, Shang Zexian had released her without giving any reason.
Regarding Bob's information, Judith asked Shang Zexian, but he dismissed her with a "that's classified."
However, when mentioning "Bob," Shang Zexian's eyes darkened for a moment, giving Judith a sense of foreboding.
Never underestimate a woman's sixth sense.
She no longer looked at Shang Siteng on the big screen, and quickly walked towards her residence on Dawn Street.
She wanted to find out about Bob through her own efforts.
Whether alive or dead, she had to find him.
Because, she still owed Bob a meal.
"Hey, missy." At the corner of Dawn Street, two hooligans blocked her path.
With only one human eye, the other being an electronic pupil, one of the hooligans made a lewd gesture towards Judith and then whistled.
"Mine can wrap around my waist, want to try?"
"Idiot." In a bad mood, Judith didn't even look at them and walked past them.
With prosthetics fitted, why is it different from what I imagined? The two hooligans were thrown into disarray in the wind.
...
Heaven Net Center.
After days of relentless effort, the Celestial Net's AI finally achieved a technological breakthrough, breaking through the signal shielding of Shang Jianyue's "Deep Dive" device.
This exhilarating news quickly reached the ears of the higher-ups.
"Immediately locate Shang Jianyue's position!"
"Great, if we can find Shang Jianyue, today will truly be a doubly joyous occasion!"
The higher-ups of Can Shang Company excitedly said.
Without the shielding and interference of the Deep Diving Device, soon, through reconnaissance and searching, the Celestial Net's AI discovered Shang Jianyue's location.
"Tell us, where is he now?"
"His current location is in the Tianhe Building," the Celestial Net's AI replied.
Tianhe Building?
Why does that sound so familiar?
A few executives were momentarily stunned, then they finally realized.
— Tianhe Building, isn't that where Shang Siteng's wedding is being prepared today!
— Shang Jianyue also went to Tianhe Building!
Tianhe Building is the tallest building in Titan City and also the most luxurious landmark.
Facing the building is a massive screen, where the images being played in a loop are of the Shang Family's eldest daughter, Shang Siteng.
Accompanied by light and joyful music, a music fountain not far from Tianhe Building was performing a fountain show.
Because of the citywide holiday, it was packed with people watching the fun.
They were kept outside Tianhe Building, hundreds of meters away, no longer allowed to approach.
A violinist was playing a cheerful violin, accompanied by a joyful musical background, and the melodious tune floated in the air.
A young man, along with an inconspicuous little robot, was also walking lightly yet firmly towards the ground floor of Tianhe Building.
Without a care for anyone else, they stepped over the official no-entry line.
Just as they crossed that line, a man walked out from Tianhe Building.
"I knew you'd still come." Shang Zexian looked at the man who appeared before him, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone, "Even though I dislike you, at least not this time."
Just as Shang Zexian finished speaking.
Behind Han Zhan and his group, those who were originally "onlookers" began removing their disguises one by one.
They were all Abnormal Skeleton Warriors!
Ten Eight Stars, fifty Seven Stars, two hundred Six Stars, one thousand below Five Stars, and a mechanized unit for coordinated combat surged in from all directions. All of Titan City's battle strength was gathered at this moment.
Please step into the trap!
The elegant violin continued to play.
"This is a trap," Shang Zexian said frankly.
"I know," Han Zhan nodded.
"If you surrender or are killed here, regardless of the outcome, my sister will no longer be used as a test subject and sent for the Mechanical Ascension experiment. That's their condition." Shang Zexian continued.
They, referring to the higher-ups of Can Shang Company.
They are like a group of people behind the scenes, manipulating the lives of others at will.
This made Han Zhan feel like he was seeing his past self, those days when he was nothing more than a pawn.
"This is the only chance to save her. On behalf of my sister, thank you," Shang Zexian said sincerely.
The violin music became more urgent, reaching what seemed to be the climactic part, its sound soaring fiercely.
The Abnormal Skeleton Warriors approaching from all sides were eager to try.
At that moment, Han Zhan suddenly raised his head, looked around, and spoke the first true line of the day.
"You are surrounded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyue cooperatively snapped his mechanical fingers.
Thud!
A Destruction Titan descended from the sky, creating a small crater in the ground.
Thud, thud!
Two more.
Thud, thud, thud!
Destruction Titans came one after another, filling the entire battlefield.
A tide of black swarmed from behind the Abnormal Skeleton Warriors, enveloping Shang Jianyue and ultimately forming the colossal form of a Destruction Titan, whose eyes suddenly burst with the red glow of slaughter!
One person, a whole army!
The sharp violin music peaked at that moment.
...
Shang Siteng, dressed in a white wedding gown, was slowly descending from her residence.
In front and behind her were four Abnormal Skeleton Warriors, whose purpose everyone understood.
Not far below stood her long-absent father, and the current true leader of Can Shang Company, Shang Zhengchuan.
Shang Siteng looked calmly at her father, as if looking at a stranger.
"You don't have to look at me like that. A man should marry, a woman should wed, it's an unchanging principle," Shang Zhengchuan said in a calm tone.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window at the corner, the high-pitched violin music could be faintly heard even from the hundredth floor.
Shang Siteng's gaze suddenly became as still as a deep well.
"Shang Zhengchuan, you are nothing but a piece of trash who sells his daughter for glory."
Shang Siteng's words were like a deep-sea bomb, exploding the dark depths.
