It was around eleven at night.
The demigod Vincent sat motionless on the bed, serving as a human mattress, allowing Polaris Lorna, who was like a large doll, to lie on his chest and sleep, emitting soft, even breaths.
The Flerken Cub, Xiao Huang, was also tired and fast asleep under the covers. This glutton and sleepyhead had both traits, and Vincent was used to it.
On the table, the colorful starfish in the glass jar bathed in the moonlight streaming through the window, reminiscing about the old days of wandering the stars.
Although there were still occasional noises from outside the car wash, everything in this small room seemed quiet and beautiful.
"Someone else is coming," Guan Luo said, opening its gem-like eyes and sending a mental message to Vincent.
Vincent opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the door, and his brows furrowed slightly.
This time, he didn't detect any footsteps from the hallway outside.
Clearly, the other party had deliberately lightened his steps.
The visitor meant no good.
Guan Luo continued to send mental messages: "Male, around thirty-five, bald, tall... Strange, the energy and spirit on him are very unstable..."
At the same time, when the opponent was about three meters from the room's entrance, Vincent also heard faint footsteps.
The light seeping from under the tightly locked door was partially blocked.
Hiss!!
Under Vincent's vigilant gaze, a point of actual hot smoke first rose from the center of the wooden door, then the wood panel turned red from the outside in. The next moment, the wooden door began to burn fiercely from the middle!
His eyes covered by the flames and his heart filled with anger, the demigod Vincent instead became calmer and more emotionless as he asked, "Guan Luo, is the other party carrying any weapons? A flamethrower?"
"No, he's not carrying any weapons!"
As Guan Luo's somewhat surprised and uncertain mental message sounded, the middle of the room's entrance was first burned through by the high-temperature flames, and a man, seemingly unafraid of the heat and flames, directly crashed through countless burning wood splinters and burst into the room!
Vincent looked up and saw that the man was bald, exactly as Guan Luo had described.
However.
The bald man's eyes burned with a fiery red, especially his hands. His bare palms and arms were transparent, and the blood beneath flowed like lava in his veins. He carried an unbearable scorching heat, rushing into Lorna's room with a gust of hot wind!
The bald man's face was ferocious and terrifying. When he forcefully broke through the wooden door and burst into the room, he saw Vincent holding Lorna by the bed, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but in the next second, he pounced on the two without hesitation!
Perhaps because she was in Vincent's arms, Polaris Lorna was completely defenseless at this moment.
As he pounced.
The bald man's hands, arms, palms, chest, and lower abdomen all glowed with high heat, causing his short-sleeved shirt to catch Fire!
He was like half a Pyro!
The bald man's speed was also above that of ordinary people. At such a close distance, under a surprise attack, most people wouldn't be able to react.
Unfortunately.
Vincent at this moment was not an ordinary person, but—a demigod!
Vincent quickly stood up, holding Lorna in his arms, and with an extremely fast reaction, kicked out his right foot, sending the bald man who was close in front of him flying!
Bang!!
The force of that kick sent the bald man flying backward. He completely shattered the burning remains of the wooden door, cracked the railing in the hallway outside, and fell from the third floor, smashing onto a jeep parked in the area below.
The jeep's roof caved in with a thud, and all the car's windows shattered, the loud noise causing alarms to blare from other parked vehicles nearby!!
"What happened?"
"Enemy attack?!"
That kick woke up everyone at the car wash, whether they were awake or asleep!
"My car!!"
Among them, a startled tattooed youth rushed in from the main gate. Seeing the half-wrecked jeep emitting thick smoke, he immediately clutched his head and let out a wail.
However, his wailing quickly stopped.
The tattooed youth's eyes widened in astonishment. From the caved-in roof of the jeep, a bald man, completely red and emitting scorching hot smoke, climbed out, like a demon from purgatory!
"What the hell is that?" Everyone inside and outside the car wash who saw this scene collectively gasped.
On the third floor, in a room.
"What... what happened?" Lorna was also woken up, forgetting to switch her tone, and asked softly.
"It's nothing, I'll handle it. I'll be right back!" Vincent said, gently placing Lorna on the bed.
He instructed, "Guan Luo, Xiao Huang, you two protect her! Don't let anyone enter this room except me!"
"Received," Guan Luo on the table sent a mental message.
Xiao Huang, on the other hand, jumped to Lorna's side, like a small guardian deity, his eyes emitting a faint blue glow!
The demigod Vincent looked down at his right foot. The canvas shoe he was wearing had its sole mostly melted, and the fabric upper was catching Fire.
Such a high temperature.
Vincent simply took off both canvas shoes. Under the startled gaze of over twenty pairs of eyes, he walked directly out of Lorna's room, then jumped down from the third-floor hallway.
Thud!!
Falling straight down from a height of ten meters, Vincent didn't even buffer his landing, cracking the ground where he landed. His silver long hair flew wildly behind him as he coldly looked at the attacker standing on the car in front!
"You dare to lay a hand on my boss, is this all you've got?"
The demigod Vincent wore a baseball cap and a mask, his only exposed eyes shining brightly, emotionlessly staring at the constantly heating bald man.
It was visible that after taking that kick to the chest, the bald man's chest had a clear inward dent of a footprint. At this very moment, that indentation injury was healing at a visible rate!
The bald man let out an angry growl, jumped off the car, and once again furiously charged at the silver-haired youth!
Watching the opponent swing his fist, emitting thousands of degrees of high temperature, Vincent stood his ground and also decisively threw his right fist.
When Vincent's seemingly ordinary punch met the bald man's scorching hot fist—
The bald man's eyes widened in disbelief, but it was his own right arm that completely burst apart inch by inch. Countless glowing red, scorching hot flesh and bones, like lava, splattered backward onto the half-wrecked jeep!
Vincent shook his head.
A demigod physique might seem powerless against a Kryptonian or Doomsday, but that doesn't mean a demigod physique can be compared to any insignificant opponent!
Vincent waved his hand forward, and a golden flashing Lasso immediately bound the bald man with the severed arm, rendering him immobile!
"Tell me, what is your objective?" Vincent asked.
The Lasso of Truth's greatest ability began to manifest!
The bald man blurted out, "Even if it means mutual destruction, I must kill the target—Lorna."
"What, he's here for our boss?"
Hearing the exclamations from some of the people around, Vincent knew that the man in front of him was an outsider.
Sent by other forces?
Vincent continued to ask, "Who is your boss behind the scenes?"
"Killian..."
As soon as the bald man uttered a name, at that moment, not only his burning red arms and chest, but his face also twisted in pain. His skin rapidly became semi-transparent, and his internal temperature continued to soar, causing his body to swell slightly!
The demigod Vincent seemed to have a premonition. He immediately lifted the Lasso of Truth upwards, throwing the bound bald man high into the air!
The moment his body hit the car wash roof, the bald man's glowing red, scorching hot body exploded like a dynamite package. His body instantly turned into ashes and vanished, and the powerful high temperature generated by the explosion melted and penetrated the iron roof!
