Who could save him from the brink of death? A mysterious masked girl descending from the sky like a god.
The girl leaped down from the roof of the car, landing gracefully in front of him.
Right behind her, three others followed closely—two men and one woman.
The woman was beautiful, looking no more than seventeen or eighteen.
Her big eyes were particularly lively, with two shallow dimples at the corners of her lips, wearing a sweet smile.
But in her hand, she held an iron whip totally mismatched with her appearance.
It clattered when shaken, with countless barbs at each joint.
With a casual flick, she coiled it around a Mutated dog's neck.
A slight twist of her wrist, and the dog's head was severed from its body, blood soaring into the sky.
Yet her expression remained completely unchanged.
The two men wore shirts of gray and white respectively.
The man in the gray shirt also wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his lips tightly pressed, expressionless—giving off a rigid vibe.
But the pitch-black heavy sword in his hand was extremely sharp.
A light swipe, and he slit a Mutated cat's throat.
The man in the white T-shirt bore a 50% resemblance to the dimpled girl.
He looked as gentle as jade, like a noble young man walking out of an ancient mural.
He had a delicate face and a slender, seemingly fragile figure—but strangely exuded a vibrant energy!
In his hand, he held a golden-red Tang sword.
Every move flowed like clouds and water, giving a sense of effortless beauty.
Even the Mutated Beasts that died under his sword had no trace of blood on them.
In the blink of an eye, five Mutated Beasts fell to the four newcomers.
After the shock, overwhelming joy of surviving the disaster surged through Milo Voss, mixed with sorrow.
He was saved! He was alive!
Then, Bai family—you'd all better wait for me!
Milo glanced in the direction of the Bai family residence.
The childish look in his eyes gradually gave way to settled cruelty and hatred!
"Young Master... what about the brothers' bodies?"
Bai Shi spoke in a trembling whisper, his face a mixture of blood and tears, unrecognizable.
Milo stared fixedly at Bai Ke's bloodied face.
After a long while, he reached out and slowly closed Bai Ke's open eyes, gently laying his body down.
"Cremate them. In this world, even burial won't bring peace."
Milo's voice was low and firm. "Collect the brothers' ashes. When we take over the Bai family, let them rest in the Bai mansion!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Bai Shi wiped his face, biting his lip to hold back his sobs.
Milo stood up silently and walked to the side.
There stood the people who had given him a new lease on life.
"Thank you. My name is Milo Voss."
Elara Voss looked at the boyish face in front of her, a faint sense of familiarity stirring in her memory.
Had this man appeared in her previous life? Elara Voss frowned, deep in thought, and said nothing for a moment.
"We are members of the White Tiger Team, an elite squad of the Blaze Legion."
Seeing Elara Voss's lack of response, Elias Voss stepped forward immediately.
He pushed his glasses as usual, introducing them one by one. "She's our captain, Elara Voss. I'm Elias Voss. This is Silas Thorne, and this is his sister, Piper Thorne."
"Blaze Legion?" Milo asked, confused.
"Kael Voss, the founder of X City's Safe Zone, is my brother. Have you heard of him?" Elara Voss said lightly. "He established the Blaze Legion."
"Kael Voss? I know him! He's incredibly powerful!"
Milo's eyes lit up. "X City's Safe Zone was built so quickly thanks to him!"
A thought quietly took root in his heart—he was truly lucky today.
"Hmm... you said your name is Milo Voss?" Elara frowned slightly. "What's your relationship with Bai Yu?"
Milo froze for a moment, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.
"He's my half-brother. Now he's the legitimate heir of the Bai family, while I'm just a nobody."
Elara Voss was also stunned.
Bai Yu had been a powerful Thunder-type Superpower user in the mid-to-late stages of her previous life.
He was ruthless, committing countless heinous acts.
Most importantly, because of her, Kael Voss and Bai Yu had clashed violently many times.
The initial cause was her cousin, Theo Corin.
Theo had chanced upon Elara and Kael. By then, he had already awakened his Superpower.
Coveting Elara's beauty, he had been severely beaten by Kael and then disappeared.
When they met again, Kael Voss had been alone.
His brothers had left because they couldn't stand Elara Voss.
But Theo had latched onto Bai Yu, the Thunder-type Superpower user, sowing discord between them.
A fight broke out, and they became mortal enemies!
She had originally planned to eliminate this potential threat by confronting Theo Corin before the Apocalypse.
Never did she expect to get news of Bai Yu—one of her greatest enemies—in City C.
And she'd accidentally saved Bai Yu's brother.
Never did she expect to get news of Bai Yu, one of her greatest enemies, in City C—and accidentally save Bai Yu's brother.
Fate was truly bizarre!
But now that she had such a great opportunity, should she let Bai Yu slip away?
Without Theo in this life, would Bai Yu still become their enemy?
"You and Bai Yu..." Milo couldn't see Elara's expression, but hearing her mention Bai Yu so casually, his heart sank again.
"I've decided to take back the Bai family. Bai Yu and I can only have one survivor."
Milo hung his head slightly, his fists clenched at his sides. "If you're his friend, now is the best time to kill me. I can't fight back at all."
"...You're overthinking it..." Elara Voss felt an urge to facepalm, uttering a few words before tossing a bottle of water at Silas Thorne.
"Check on them. Piper Thorne, assist him."
Piper replied cheerfully, running up to Milo.
"Hi, handsome! How old are you? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Everyone: -_-
Elara: "Elias, come with me."
Elias: "Silas, control your sister."
Silas: "Piper, calm down."
Piper: (confused) "What did I do?"
Milo: "Heh～"
Elara and Elias hurried into the supermarket.
The place was unimaginably messy, the air thick with a nauseating mix of blood and rotting debris.
"Frozen food must be expired by now. But these snacks can be taken back for the kids."
Walking down the aisle between the shelves, they looked at the full goods, a sense of relief and satisfaction washing over them.
"Yeah, you and Piper Thorne might like them too," Elias Voss said, pushing his glasses.
When Elara Voss turned to look at him, he added expressionlessly.
"Jaxon Hale said all girls like snacks. The female colleagues in our office eat them often."
Elara nodded, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
"I didn't think Attorney Nie would pay attention to such trivial things."
Elias's lips moved. "How... how can these be trivial..."
"We must take these seasonings back, but there's not enough space in the car!" Elara's words interrupted Elias's muttering.
He seemed startled, pushing his glasses again, his expression returning to its usual rigid calm.
Faint sobs drifted over. Elara and Elias glanced outside at the towering flames, where several figures could be seen kneeling around the burning fire.
They exchanged a glance, instantly understanding.
"You want to invite Milo to join the Blaze Legion?" Elias asked tentatively.
"Do you think that's a bad idea?" Elara walked slowly forward, looking at the goods on the shelves, and asked casually.
"If he wants to take over the Bai family, he will definitely use our power," Elias said with certainty.
"Heh～ are you worried about that?" Elara let out an ambiguous laugh. "I'm afraid he won't come to borrow it!"
Elias frowned. "The Bai family is a local tyrant with deep roots. We're still new here, short of manpower. We can't possibly compete with them."
"Do you not trust me?" Elara laughed softly, turning to look at Elias. "Or do you not trust Kael?"
Elias fell silent.
Elara didn't press him. After a long while, she spoke again: "Since we saved Milo, both he and the Bai family will belong to the Blaze Legion. Trust me!"
Milo watched the flames soar into the sky, the familiar faces and bodies of his companions gradually disappearing before his eyes.
His eyes felt cold, but not a single tear fell.
Glancing over, he saw Bai Shi and the remaining seven men standing silently together, supporting each other.
They stared at their burning companions, biting their lips hard and clenching their fists!
"Hey, handsome, are you okay?" Piper waved her hand in front of Milo's eyes, her grape-like eyes curved.
She pulled Silas beside her. "This is my brother, a genius doctor in our family! He can definitely heal you all. Don't be too sad—you still have so many companions!"
The numbness in Milo's eyes gradually faded.
He looked at Bai Shi and the others, who were also looking at him at that moment.
Seeing the trust and determination in their eyes, Milo suddenly grinned. "Yeah, thank you!"
"Don't just thank me—thank my brother too!" Piper pointed at Silas, who looked helpless, with a smile.
"Thank you all!" Milo's boyish expression returned.
"Then hurry up and treat your wounds—don't delay!" Piper waved at Bai Shi and the others.
"Come over here and find a place to lie down. My brother is a miracle worker; he can fix your injuries in no time!"
"Piper～" Silas looked at his sister helplessly. "One should be humble."
"I am humble! I'm not exaggerating at all!" Piper smiled, her dimples showing.
Silas shook his head speechlessly, which somehow made Milo and the others relax a little.
Bai Shi led the men into the first floor of the supermarket, cleared a space, and let the remaining few lie down.
He himself returned to stand guard by the fire.
With his sister's help, Silas began the treatment.
A faint turquoise light flowed from his palms into the wounded men's bodies to examine and repair their internal injuries.
He then cleaned their wounds with honey water and gave each of them a small cup to drink.
Elara stood by the window on the second floor, staring at the dark blue sky outside.
Elias, meanwhile, checked the food on each shelf.
Soft footsteps approached. Elara turned around, and when she saw who it was, she raised an eyebrow.
"Young Master Bai, what's the matter?"
"I want to join the Blaze Legion."
"Oh?" Elara remained noncommittal. "Young Master Bai should know that joining the Blaze Legion means you'll at most be a squad leader—no longer free, and certainly not as prestigious as when you were the Bai family's crown prince!"
"I was never prestigious," Milo said with a bitter smile.
After a moment of silence, he seemed to make up his mind.
He looked up at Elara Voss with bright eyes. "I'll join the Blaze Legion. Help me take back the Bai family, and two-thirds of the Bai family's assets will be yours!"
