Book 4 Chapter 25 – Battle

　　'Are you serious? Do these people ever fully charge their batteries before heading out?' Li Yiming stared at the black car spitefully. No matter how hard he pushed on the accelerator, he was still

　　'Wait a second, electricity… ' Li Yiming suddenly had an idea. After a brief effort, the scooter was suddenly revitalized and accelerated forward once again.

　　'Holy s.h.i.+t, and I was worried about running out of power? I'm the most powerful battery in the world!' Li Yiming roared inwardly as a purple spark climbed up his b.u.t.tocks.

　　Ninety… One hundred… One hundred and ten… The scooter, with its speed-limiting device removed, reached an unfathomable speed when Li Yiming himself provided it with nearly infinite power.

　　Ye Lang was dumbfounded when he saw the scooter close in slowly. 'Are you serious? Do they really go to that kind of length to modify scooters nowadays? I have to get myself one of those. But… now that he's caught up, and no one's around… More importantly, no cameras around, I think I can get away with disobeying Ying Mei's orders. Pfft, taking care of a representative should be a piece of cake.' Ye Lang spat out of the window and slowed down the car.

　　"Finally, now's the time." The skinny man gulped down the last bit of his plum juice. 'Seventeen people. Prudent enough, but prudence alone is worthless.' He picked up a napkin and stood up. He could see from the corner of his eyes that a restaurant wagon was slowly driving out of an alley nearby, and, most importantly, that quite a few people in the crowd were following the vehicle surrept.i.tiously.

　　"Man Dao's on his way. All clear."

　　"All clear."

Ying Mei took a deep breath and concentrated on checking the return route once again for the car that held Fu Bo.

　　Li Yiming looked at the parked car in front of him. 'Why did the car stop? I thought this viaduct led all the way out of town. Don't tell me that the car ran out of gas…'

　　Before Li Yiming could finish his thoughts, a muscular man wearing a black vest and sport shorts came out with a dark countenance. 'Oh, I see…' Li Yiming smiled coldly. After verifying his surroundings, he ducked down and continued to accelerate.

　　Seventy meters… Fifty… Thirty… Ye Lang looked at Li Yiming, who flew in like a moth into a fire pit and smiled cruelly. However, a moment later, Ye Lang's blood ran cold when he saw that Li Yiming had vanished from the seat of the scooter.

　　Ye Lang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and he was sent flying from the impact of the blow.

　　'Guardian?' The shock in Li Yiming's mind mirrored that of his foe's.

　　Li Yiming squinted when he saw Ye Lang turn around in midair and land on the pavement with his hand on his stomach. 'I used at least eighty percent of my strength and Thunderflash. It felt like I've punched a steel beam. Even my wrist is numb…'
