Xia Tian's lithe silhouette melted into the shadows, vanishing from sight.

To her surprise, Xia Tian continued to laugh, shaking his head in a mix of amusement and resignation.
His laughter echoed through the desolate space, challenging her authority.
"This woman is so easy to deceive," he mused, his voice laced with arrogance, relishing the game of wits unfolding before him.
"Miss Police Officer, isn't it time you took a good look around?" he taunted, his words dripping with veiled menace.
A sinking feeling crept into Luo Bingbing's core, confirming her worst fears.
Her premonition had come true.
It was a meticulously planned trap, and she had walked right into it.
As if materializing from the darkness itself, a group of thugs emerged, encircling her with malevolence.
Their menacing weapons glinted ominously, ready to strike.
"Don't come any closer! I will not hesitate to pull the trigger!" she warned, her voice filled with a mixture of desperation and determination.
The scarred man licked his lips, his eyes fixated on her figure. "Shoot? How many will you take down?" he sneered, his laughter ringing with sadistic delight.
Luo Bingbing's mind raced, analyzing the dire situation she found herself in.
She swiftly made a decision, clicking her tongue in frustration, lowering her gun, and assuming a fighting stance.
"All of you! By obstructing the work of the PSB, you leave me no choice but to show no mercy!" she declared, her voice reverberating with unwavering resolve.
Her warning was met with mocking laughter and jeering remarks.
The thugs dismissed her words, reveling in their perceived superiority.
The scarred man, emboldened by his gang's presence, stepped forward, wielding a thick wooden stick, poised to strike. His sadistic grin widened.
"Haha! Such arrogance! Brother, today we have a special treat!" he bellowed, his voice echoing with malice as he lunged towards her, fueled by a mix of bloodlust and perverse pleasure.
*Swoosh*
Meanwhile, Raven, who had disappeared into the shadows, reemerged beside Xia Tian, grasping a chair with both hands.

She positioned the chair behind him, her forced smile barely concealing her inner turmoil.
"Master, please have a seat," she said, her voice strained yet maintaining a facade of subservience.
Xia Tian couldn't help but shake his head, an amused smirk playing on his lips.
With a swift motion, he extended his hand and brazenly grabbed a handful of Raven's buttocks, his touch both possessive and demeaning.
!!
Caught off guard, Raven's cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes widening in a mix of shock and embarrassment.
She turned to look at Xia Tian, her gaze a silent plea for him to stop.

Though initially appearing victorious, Xia Tian's keen observations led him to anticipate Luo Bingbing's impending exhaustion.
His hands continued their unwelcome caress of Raven's buttocks as he probed her presence.
"What brings you here? Are you stalking me, perhaps? Is this how low you've stooped, given your so-called status?" he inquired, his voice laced with derision.
Raven's expression flickered, torn between revealing her true intentions and protecting herself from his wrath.
She struggled to find the right words, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and resignation.
"What standing does my status hold against that of my master?" she retorted, her words laced with a hint of defiance before offering a glimpse into her true motives.
"I have avatars scattered across every dimension of this vast universe! It was mere chance that brought me across your path."

"So, you were stalking me after all," he remarked, his tone filled with a mix of curiosity and sly satisfaction.
