Chapter 020: I'm Tough!

Inside a residential home.

In a girl's room, in the darkness, a face slowly appeared on the wall.

The face was made of concrete, and after looking around the room, the figure's body began to materialize on the wall.

His body emerged from the wall and quickly returned to a human appearance.

"This scent... this faint fragrance, it must be from a beautiful girl."

The Faceless Man looked at the pink decorations in the room and smiled.

His hand brushed over the pink sheets, then he approached the sleeping girl.

He sniffed near the girl, "Hmm... not bad."

As if hearing some movement, the girl slowly opened her eyes, but there was no one in the room.

The girl closed her eyes again, and a face suddenly appeared on the wall behind her.

"What a vigilant cutie."

The Faceless Man emerged from the wall again, but the girl's brow suddenly twitched.

As the man approached the girl, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and grabbed a short knife from the bedside table, stabbing towards the Faceless Man!

Clang!

Fireworks flickered as the knife struck the Faceless Man, but it bent directly against his body!

The Faceless Man looked at his chest. His body had petrified to a high degree, and the knife left only a white scratch on his body.

"Pretty, a beautiful reaction."

The girl stared at the petrified Faceless Man and the bent blade, completely stunned.

What on earth was this thing?

"Help... mmm!"

The girl was about to cry for help, but the man suddenly covered her mouth.

"No, screaming loudly is not elegant."

Tears streamed from the girl's eyes. Just then, the door of the girl's room suddenly burst open!

The girl's father rushed into the room. "Daughter!"

The Faceless Man sighed. "Ah, how boring."

With that, the Faceless Man suddenly inserted his hand into the wall!

The wall began to ripple, and just as the man took a step forward, suddenly, a stone pillar emerged from the wall without warning!

Boom!

The stone pillar narrowly missed the man's shoulder as the Faceless Man withdrew his hand. "Sir, I believe this level of warning should be sufficient, right?"

The girl shook her head frantically, tears swirling in her eyes.

Seeing this, the Faceless Man reached out and wiped away her tears.

"Don't be like this. I'm just inviting you to dinner in a special way. You don't have to be afraid of me."

"Of course, I didn't intend to harm anyone, including your beloved father. But it depends on whether you're willing to accept a gentleman's friendly invitation."

"You saw it too, didn't you? If I hadn't intentionally deflected the blow, that gentleman would have been skewered by now."

The girl's father roared, "Let go of my daughter! If you have any issues, come at me!"

The Faceless Man furrowed his brows, "Oh no no no, I have no interest in men, I'm only interested in beautiful things."

"So, Miss Beauty, what's your answer?"

"If you dare to harass my daughter, I'll call the police!" the man roared.

The Faceless Man's expression immediately turned cold, "As I said... one should have self-awareness. I was asking this beautiful young lady, not you. Is that so hard to understand?"

With that, the Faceless Man once again inserted his hand into the wall. However, the girl suddenly shouted:

"I agree!"

Hearing the girl's words, the Faceless Man chuckled, "An elegant decision, but I've changed my mind."

"I think keeping that gentleman around would be troublesome. In case he disturbs us, I'll send him to meet some acquaintances of mine in my personal hell."

"No!!"

Creak!

Just then, a raven suddenly appeared outside the window!

The Faceless Man turned his head, "Hey hey hey, foul bird, why do you follow me wherever I go? Do you have nowhere else to go?"

The raven transformed into the girl and opened the window, then leaped lightly inside.

"You said you wanted me to find self-worth enhancement."

"Coincidentally, I found it."

"As long as I'm with you, I can come across many lost and willingly sacrificial souls. It's a rare opportunity. Their souls are sweet and continuously nourish my power."

"But I wonder if it's because I've absorbed too many personal emotions, I'm particularly inclined to taste you as well."

With that, the girl's hands suddenly transformed into the claws of a fish-man, then she directly aimed for the Faceless Man's head!

"Hey hey hey..."

The Faceless Man stepped back, bending over to dodge this sudden attack.

"Although you disguise yourself as a beautiful girl, making me reluctant to strike, if you insist on attacking this gentleman, I don't mind giving you a trim."

"You can try."

The raven girl approached again, leaping high and attempting to tear the Faceless Man apart with her claws!

Seeing this, the Faceless Man sighed.

"Such a stubborn lady."

He opened his hands, and on his ten fingers were ten rings of various colors.

These rings were made of different materials, including steel, diamonds, meteorites, graphene, and more.

The diamond ring was embedded, snug against his skin.

"Diamond."

As he spoke, the Faceless Man's body suddenly became colorless and transparent, shining like crystal!

The claws of the raven girl nearly shattered upon hitting the Faceless Man's body, and her claws were directly blunted.

Seeing this scene, the Faceless Man's flesh returned to normal.

"Give it up. No physical means can harm me. What's a fish-man's claw anyway? He's just the weakest among us," the Faceless Man remarked.

The raven observed, reverting her claws back to human hands, "Strange thing is surprisingly tough."

The Faceless Man chuckled, "My lower body can be as hard as my body."

"Ew... gross," the raven girl said, displaying a disgusted expression.

Though their skirmish was brief, it deeply shook the girl and her father in the room.

Seeing them halt, the girl on the bed became flustered, "You, you can continue..."

The Faceless Man and the raven girl exchanged a glance. "Though we hate to admit it, we... are actually on the same side."

"We fought due to a bit of personal grievance, but as you've seen, it contradicts the intentions of the higher-ups."

"We can only inconvenience you for now."

The raven girl suddenly pulled out a syringe.

The liquid inside was the Queen Bee's bodily fluid.

This fluid generally had two uses: one was for mental control, and the other was for transforming people into females.

However, whether to transform or not was determined by the Queen Bee.

For example, for some public figures, if they were transformed into females, it would undoubtedly attract widespread attention and cause a lot of trouble in society.

In such cases, the Queen Bee would typically only exert mental control rather than transform them.

"Come on, if you don't want to die, come over here yourself. I don't want to say it a second time."
