Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 720: Neutralizing Members Of Blood Hunters

Wang Jian crouched low, his eyes scanning the dimly lit alley ahead of him. The soft hum of the city was a distant backdrop to the immediate tension surrounding them. Emma and Jessica, their bodies pressed close to him, were still catching their breath, their wide eyes betraying a mix of fear and confusion.

He could feel the Blood Hunters closing in, their disciplined movements and professional tactics making it clear that they werenʼt amateurs. They had already split into small teams, sweeping the area with a ruthless efficiency that was designed to flush him out. But Wang Jian had anticipated this, and he had no intention of allowing them the upper hand.

”Listen to me,” Wang Jian whispered, turning to Emma and Jessica. His voice was calm, measured, but the urgency in his tone was unmistakable. ”You both need to stay close to me. No matter what happens, donʼt leave my side. If youʼre separated, theyʼll find you, and I wonʼt be able to help.”

Emma, still trembling slightly, nodded quickly. Her wide, frightened eyes locked onto his. ”But what if they-”

”They wonʼt,” Wang Jian interrupted, his hand gently cupping her chin. ”Not if you stay with me.”

Jessica, more composed but equally on edge, leaned in close. ”And what about you? These guys are trained killers, Jian. Theyʼve got rifles.”

Wang Jian smirked, his confidence unwavering. ”They do. But Iʼve got something better.” He tapped the side of his head lightly. ”I know how they think, how they operate. Iʼll deal with them one by one.”

They moved cautiously through the back alleys, keeping to the shadows. Wang Jian was fully aware that the Blood Hunters were skilled enough to predict his movements, but he was betting on the fact that they didnʼt truly understand how much he had changed. His experiences in the other world had sharpened his instincts to a degree that the Blood Hunters couldnʼt possibly anticipate.

Soon enough, Wang Jian saw the first group-a pair of Blood Hunters sweeping through a side street with military precision, their rifles held at the ready. These werenʼt mindless thugs; these were professionals, and Wang Jian knew that if he made even the slightest mistake, a single bullet would end him.

He motioned for Emma and Jessica to remain behind a stack of crates as he assessed the situation. His mind worked quickly, calculating the best approach.

Wang Jian whispered softly, ”Stay here. Donʼt move unless I say.”

Emmaʼs hand grasped his arm for a brief moment. ”Be careful,” she whispered back, her voice laced with concern.

He gave her a reassuring nod before slipping away, his body moving with the kind of fluid precision that only years of intense combat training could produce. The first two Blood Hunters were good-too good to be taken lightly. They moved in unison, watching each otherʼs backs as they cleared the narrow street.

Wang Jian waited, staying perfectly still in the shadows, his breath calm and controlled. Timing was everything. He watched the Blood Huntersʼ movements, noting the way their eyes scanned the area, the subtle shifts in their stances. They were hunting for him, but they hadnʼt yet spotted him.

When the moment came, Wang Jian struck like a viper.

With lightning speed, he closed the distance between himself and the first Blood Hunter. His hand shot out, grabbing the rifle barrel and twisting it out of the manʼs grip in a single fluid motion. Before the hunter could react, Wang Jian delivered a powerful blow to his throat, silencing him instantly. The man crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

The second hunter spun around, his rifle raised, but Wang Jian was faster. He ducked beneath the shot and swept the manʼs legs out from under him with a low, sweeping kick. As the hunter hit the ground, Wang Jian was on him, disarming him and delivering a precise strike to the side of his head that knocked him out cold.

In less than ten seconds, the two hunters were down.

Wang Jian stood over them, breathing steadily as he scanned the area. Emma and Jessica peeked out from their hiding spot, their eyes wide with amazement.

”Oh my God,” Jessica whispered, her hand covering her mouth. ”That was... incredible.”

Emma, equally stunned, nodded slowly. ”I didnʼt even see him move. How did he-?”

Wang Jian stepped back toward them, his face still calm, but there was a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. ”Stay focused,” he said softly, though the hint of a smile tugged at his lips. ”Weʼre not done yet.”

They continued moving through the city, but the Blood Hunters were relentless. Another team, this time three hunters, appeared in the next street over, moving in a tight formation as they swept the area.

Wang Jian knew this would be tougher. Three trained marksmen, all watching different angles. Heʼd have to be smarter this time.

He gestured for Emma and Jessica to stay low as they approached the team. This time, he had to think on his feet. He quickly scouted the surroundings, noticing a stack of metal trash cans against a wall. A plan formed in his mind.

He picked up a small piece of debris from the ground and hurled it toward the trash cans, making them clatter loudly. The noise immediately drew the attention of two of the Blood Hunters, who turned toward the sound, their rifles raised.

That was all the opening Wang Jian needed.

He rushed the third hunter, who had his back turned, and took him out swiftly with a sharp

strike to the back of the neck. Before the other two could react, Wang Jian had already grabbed the fallen hunterʼs rifle and fired two quick shots into the ground, making them think they were being attacked from multiple angles.

The confusion was enough to throw them off balance, and Wang Jian closed the gap. He disarmed the first with a quick twist of the wrist, sending his rifle flying to the ground, then delivered a devastating elbow to the manʼs temple, dropping him instantly.

The last hunter, realizing what was happening, tried to swing his rifle around, but Wang Jian was already inside his guard. He grabbed the manʼs arm, twisted it behind his back, and slammed him into the nearby wall. With a quick, efficient strike to the back of the head, the hunter was out cold.

Emma and Jessica were in awe, watching as Wang Jian effortlessly took down each member of the Blood Hunters with a combination of superior combat skills and flawless timing.

Jessicaʼs breath came out in a shaky laugh as she finally found her voice. ”Okay... now Iʼm convinced youʼre some kind of superhero.”

Emma, still wide-eyed, nodded. ”That was insane, Wang. I didnʼt know you could fight like that.”

Wang Jian, ever calm, gave them a small smile. ”Iʼve had a bit of practice.” He pulled them both closer, his arms wrapping around their waists as he led them deeper into the city. ”But weʼre not out of this yet. Stick close to me, and Iʼll get you out of here safely.”

They continued moving, but with each step, Emma and Jessica couldnʼt help but feel a growing sense of admiration and something else. The way Wang Jian had taken control of the situation, the ease with which he had dispatched the Blood Hunters, it was... intoxicating.

As they moved through the city, his hands occasionally brushed against their hips, and both women felt a flush of heat. Emmaʼs full breasts pressed against his arm as they ducked into another alley, while Jessicaʼs curvaceous body swayed against his side. The tension between them was palpable, and despite the danger they were in, there was a certain thrill to it all.

The Blood Hunters were relentless, but Wang Jian was always one step ahead. His ability to predict their movements, his calm under pressure, and his superior combat skills kept them on the run. Each time the Blood Hunters thought they had him cornered, Wang Jian turned the tables, using the environment to his advantage and taking down his pursuers with surgical precision.

As the night wore on, it became clear to Emma and Jessica that Wang Jian wasnʼt just their protector-he was their savior. And as they clung to him, feeling his strength and confidence radiate through every movement, they knew that as long as they stayed close to him, nothing

could touch them.

Wang Jian knew that the endgame was approaching. The Blood Hunters were skilled, but they

hadnʼt yet realized they were up against someone who had learned to think and fight on an entirely different level. And as the last few hunters closed in, Wang Jian was already planning his next move-one that would finally put an end to the chase.

Wang Jian wiped the sweat from his brow, his chest rising and falling as he surveyed the scene around him. The Blood Hunters were formidable opponents, but he knew he was up to the task. However, taking down the higher-ups was a different matter entirely. He needed to be

strategic, and one particular target had caught his attention: Sofia. Unlike some of the other elites, Sofia wasnʼt known for her combat prowess. She was more of an intelligence expert, skilled in gathering information, planning operations, and providing logistical support. Physically, she wasnʼt as dangerous, but she would still be heavily guarded.

Wang Jian had seen her earlier-standing in the distance, issuing orders to a group of well-

armed, professional hunters. She was stunning, with long, flowing black hair that cascaded down her shoulders. Her attire was deliberately comfortable yet revealing a tight crop top that accentuated her toned midriff, paired with high-waisted pants that hugged her curvaceous figure. The soft fabric clung to her body, showing off her long legs and the ample curves that were hard to ignore. She moved with a graceful confidence, fully aware of the power she held within the Blood Hunters.

Wang Jian had to admit-she was beautiful. But that didnʼt matter right now. What mattered

was that she was the key to weakening the Blood Hunters and getting out of this situation.

Capturing her would deal a significant blow to their organization.

But it wouldnʼt be easy.
