Chapter 98

The men inside, who had been playing mahjong all night while keeping watch, thought it was Brother Hu and his gang returning. They went out to greet them, only to find Lin Ran standing in the courtyard with her Tang sword.

The leader, a man with a wild afro, eyed Lin Ran with interest. After a closer look, he seemed disappointed that she was likely an alpha. "Thought you were an omega. Damn, what's with you barging in so early? Do you even know who we are?"

Lin Ran glanced at them and said flatly, "Just a bunch of thugs, what else could you be?"

"Shit, you've got some nerve. Take a look at that skinny sword of yours and you think you can challenge us? Hilarious."

Lin Ran looked at the Tang sword in her hand and replied, "Is that so? You won't think it's so skinny in a moment."

With that, she suddenly accelerated, her sword slicing through the air with perfect arcs. Her movements were so fast that only afterimages were visible. Within seconds, all four men were on the ground.

Lin Ran then proceeded into the two-story building, where she found a large mahjong table in the living room and a diesel generator in one corner. The first floor reeked, and the place was filthy, mainly occupied by male alphas. After a brief glance, Lin Ran headed upstairs.

On the second floor, only one person was on guard, but from one of the rooms, the sound of crying could be heard.

Seeing Lin Ran, the man frowned and asked, "How did you get in?"

He irritably picked up a knife and shouted, "Where are the guys downstairs? Stop playing cards, someone's upstairs!"

"There's no need to call them; they're all dead," Lin Ran said calmly.

"You? Don't be ridiculous. Those downstairs are four male alphas," the man sneered, clearly not believing Lin Ran. He charged at her with his knife raised.

Lin Ran stood still, not even bothering to dodge. She swung her Tang sword horizontally, and the man's knife was sliced through as easily as tofu. The blade continued its path, leaving a thin line across the man's neck. He clutched his throat, unable to react, before collapsing to the floor.

Lin Ran looked at the three closed doors on the second floor and walked toward the one from which the crying was coming. Instead of using her sword, she kicked the wooden door, shattering it completely and terrifying the people inside.

Stepping over the broken door, Lin Ran found the room full of disheveled female omegas. Their hands and feet were bound with ropes. On the bed, a man was in the midst of assaulting a female omega.

The man, enraged at the interruption, snarled, "Where the hell did you come from? Can't you see I'm busy?"

These omegas were considered valuable, and it was rare for the underlings like him to have access to them, especially with Brother Hu and the others out. Normally, they'd have to settle for male omegas, who were filthy and undesirable.

Lin Ran didn't waste words. She grabbed the man and dragged him off the bed.

"You're asking for death! I'll kill you!" the man shouted, swinging a fist at Lin Ran, but she swiftly cut him down with a single stroke.

The female omegas remained tense, warily watching Lin Ran.

"Don't worry, Brother Hu and his gang are all dead. You're free now," Lin Ran said as she cut the ropes binding them with her sword. Then she turned and left the room. Inside, some of the omegas huddled in corners, crying quietly, while others sobbed openly. The woman on the bed clutched the blanket, crying hysterically.
