Chapter 64: I Will Leave You No Chance Even to Regret!

Beep, beep, beep.
The daughter's voice could still be heard just before the call was disconnected.
Tian Xiao did not dare to utter a single word nearby.
Since the speakerphone was on, she also heard the address and stepped heavily on the accelerator, racing toward the abandoned factory.
For those five minutes, Zhang Fan did not say a single word, but the veins on his forehead became increasingly swollen, as if they were about to burst at any second, and his face grew redder and redder.
The moment the car came to a halt, he vanished right in front of Tian Xiao.
Tian Xiao was utterly dumbfounded.
What on earth was happening?!
Mr. Zhang Fan had just stepped out of the car, and then he simply disappeared?
Ah?!
Tian Xiao was completely stupefied, looking blankly to her left and right.
Then, she saw the main gates of the factory smashed open by someone!
And Zhang Fan left behind the silhouette of a person blasted right through the heavy door.
"Gasp!"
Tian Xiao’s heart leapt into her throat, disbelief written all over her face.
"No wonder Mr. Zhang Fan wasn't afraid of superpowered individuals at all."
"Turns out he is an esper too?"
She hurriedly chased after him.
Inside the factory.
The instant Zhang Fan burst in, ten S-class espers all fixed their gazes upon him.
Their eyes held a cruel, murderous intent.
Joe looked at Zhang Fan with a beaming smile, pressing the dagger in his hand against Zhang Qingyun’s tender neck and drawing a trickle of blood.
"Let her go!"
Zhang Fan roared with fury.
Although he was a mighty Emperor Realm cultivator, Zhang Fan had only ever encountered such tropes in web novels.
He was terrified that a moment of carelessness on his part might result in killing his own daughter along with them, so he exercised extreme caution, suppressing his aura as much as possible.
Joe looked at Zhang Fan with a cheeky grin and refused to let go.
"Want to save your daughter? It's very simple!"
"As long as you slit your own throat right in front of all of us, I'll spare your daughter."
"How about it? Trading your own life for your daughter's seems like a pretty fair deal, doesn't it?"
Zhang Qingyun cried even louder and shrieked,
"Daddy, no!"
"Yuner doesn't want Daddy to get hurt, doesn't want Daddy to die."
"Daddy, you don't need to worry about Yuner, call the police! Let the police officers come and arrest them!"
Joe let out an evil chuckle and raised his hand slightly. A stone on the ground floated up into mid-air.
He looked at the terrified Zhang Qingyun with a playful smile.
"Little girl, Uncle can control everything in this world."
"Do you really think a police officer's bullets could harm Uncle?"
"Hmm?"
Zhang Qingyun was frightened out of her wits, her little face turning pale.
As a young girl, no matter how clever she might be, she was still only a first-grader.
Witnessing such a magical and terrifying scene was more than she could bear, and she passed out on the spot.
Seeing this, Joe immediately released Zhang Qingyun and shook his head slightly.
"No fun."
His gaze fell back onto Zhang Fan as he said calmly,
"I've already told you the reason why I want you dead—your Huaxia must never be allowed to rise!"
"Once you swallow up all the global industrial chains, we're finished."
"When that happens, you'll be wining and dining while we struggle to even put rice on the table. Zhang Fan, I hope that after you die, you won't blame me. Resources in this world are limited, and it has always been the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak."
Seeing his daughter released, Zhang Fan immediately reached out.
In a flash!
The Emperor Realm erupted, and spiritual energy surged wildly from within his body, wrapping tightly around his daughter. Floating mid-air, she flew safely into his arms.
Cuddling his daughter with one arm, his gaze turned chillingly cold.
Joe's brow furrowed tightly, his expression turning frosty once more.
"So the treasure you obtained not only helped you unlock your technology tree, but also granted you superpowers?"
"However, what a pity!"
"I've brought a full ten S-class espers with me this time. You probably don't realize just how terrifying S-class espers are, I—"
However.
Once he confirmed his daughter was safe and sound, Zhang Fan didn't have the patience to listen to Joe finish.
He merely glanced at one of the S-class espers standing near him.
Just a single glance.
The spiritual energy emanating from his body instantly obliterated that S-class esper on the spot!
The man exploded from the inside out, flesh and blood scattering everywhere.
Such a hair-raising sight sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Goosebumps broke out densely all over their bodies.
A fire-type S-class esper looked at Zhang Fan in horror, then turned back to look at Joe.
"Young Master, what, what is going on?"
"Does he have telekinesis? Or some other power?"
"If taking back his daughter was telekinesis, then what was just now?!"
Joe was dumbfounded as well and was about to speak.
The next second!
The Emperor Realm pressure radiating from Zhang Fan's body instantly pinned the remaining nine S-class espers flat onto the ground!
Leaving them utterly unable to move or even breathe!
In a fraction of a second!
All nine men were crushed into piles of pulp, and then burned to nothingness by spiritual energy. A gust of wind blew by, leaving not even a speck of dust behind!
It was only at this moment that Joe finally felt a profound sense of terror.
This was simply not something an ordinary superpowered individual could ever accomplish!
Joe’s legs turned to jelly. Watching Zhang Fan walk toward him step by step, he forgot even how to beg for mercy and turned to run.
However, the very moment he turned around.
Zhang Fan materialized instantly right in front of him!
Like a towering mountain blocking Joe’s path, he stared down at him with icy eyes.
Joe was so scared that he lost control of his bladder and bowels.
"Don't—"
Before he could finish the two words, Zhang Fan enveloped Joe in spiritual energy, and the two of them soared high up into the sky.
What is happening?!
What on earth is going on here!
What is going on!
I'm actually flying!
I am flying!
Joe utterly failed to accept the current reality.
He repeatedly hammered his own head, hoping to wake up from a nightmare.
But since it was no dream, how could he possibly wake up?
He turned his head back, his eyes dull.
Although he knew espers who could fly, it was absolutely impossible for them to fly at such terrifying speeds.
In a matter of mere seconds, they had arrived above the mountain range housing the Rockefeller family headquarters.
Joe's eyes widened in horror as he finally chose to believe the ancient rumors within his family.
Huaxia not only possessed ancient martial arts families, but also immortal cultivators!
If Zhang Fan were not an immortal cultivator, how could he possibly carry him through the skies?!
He was too terrified to utter a single syllable.
Gazing down at the territory of the Rockefeller family, Zhang Fan stared coldly into Joe's eyes.
"Didn't you want to harm my daughter?"
"Your family members should all be right down there."
"Now, I will send all of them to their deaths."
Joe’s eyes split open with grief and terror. His heart raced at an extreme, frantic speed, and he shook his head wildly.
Yet, overwhelmed by sheer panic, he couldn't force a single word out.
Zhang Fan wasted no more breath.
He extended his hand.
A terrifying torrent of spiritual energy descended from the heavens!
And crushed this entire mountain range completely, thoroughly, straight down into the depths of the earth!
A gigantic crater over a thousand meters deep appeared on the ground, resembling the aftermath of a massive meteorite impact.
By the time Joe snapped out of his shock and wanted to beg for mercy, Zhang Fan was already gone.
His body plummeted straight down from the sky, hurtling toward the bottom of the abyssal crater!
No!!
