Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 512 - 507: Escape

"It’s your honor to carry on the Rick Family’s legacy."

The old woman, full of authority and with a condescending tone, looked at Ye Tong with malice.

This audacious bastard dared to sully the noble bloodline of the Rick Family. She must be taught a lesson today!

"You wretched thing, how dare you break Bob’s heart and attempt to hurt people and escape? You deserve to die—"

The old woman turned and picked up a spiked whip from a tray, lashing it fiercely at Ye Tong’s back.

"Crack—"

The small barbs on the whip tore through Ye Tong’s tailored clothing, drawing thin threads of red.

Ye Tong gritted her teeth, enduring the searing pain on her back, desperately trying to move her legs, but she still felt nothing.

"Save your strength. You’ve been poisoned with a neurotoxin. Without an antidote, don’t even think about standing up again."

The old woman lashed Ye Tong again, with more force, drawing even more blood and flesh.

The air slowly filled with the scent of blood, bringing a slight pleasure to her face.

Ye Tong groaned, then suddenly bit her lip, braced her hands on the ground, rolled half a turn, and forced herself to sit up, facing the old woman head-on.

The hearing superpower user saw her sit up and kicked at Ye Tong viciously, but she caught his foot tightly with her hands.

A "crack" was heard.

With a Bone Shattering move, his ankle twisted 180 degrees.

Her beautiful fingers quickly moved upwards, pressing precisely on his joints and nerves, eliciting several "crack" sounds. The hearing superpower user’s entire leg twisted in a grotesque manner for everyone to see.

"Ah—"

The shrill scream contorted with pain.

Across from him, Ye Tong seemed to be making him feel all the pain the old woman had inflicted on her.

The scene left the servants utterly shocked; the chilling crackling sounds made them tremble instinctively.

Ye Tong’s face was expressionless, yet she provocatively stared at the old woman, her moves quick and ruthless.

The old woman was momentarily stunned by Ye Tong, and when she recovered, she was trembling with rage.

Ye Tong’s behavior was a direct challenge to her years-long authority.

A lowly girl who had not even officially entered the family dared to look at her with such eyes.

She was going to gouge out her eyes to feed to the crocodiles and whip her sly face until it was unrecognizable.

"You wretched thing—"

The old woman swung the whip at Ye Tong again.

Ye Tong held the unconscious hearing superpower user as the whip came at her, using his body to block the oncoming strike.

Although her legs were numb, her arms still worked. If she could pull her over...

Thinking this, when the old woman struck again, Ye Tong suddenly pushed the hearing superpower user away and grabbed the spiked whip.

Blood instantly oozed from her palm.

The old woman hadn’t expected this; she was caught off guard and stumbled, nearly falling.

Even though she steadied herself and let go just in time, she was closer to Ye Tong.

Ye Tong seized the opportunity, ignoring the iron spikes embedded in her palm, pulling the whip back to entangle the old woman’s leg.

With a strong tug, the old woman fell right in front of her.

The old woman’s superpower level wasn’t high, and she had little actual combat experience; she panicked instantly.

Ye Tong used Bone Shattering again, dislocating the old woman’s arms, forcing her to scream in pain.

"Don’t come closer! Or I’ll kill her!"

Ye Tong tightened the whip around the old woman’s neck.

The barbs cut into her pampered skin, and blood flowed down freely.

The servants, terrified, dropped their trays and fell to their knees, quietly begging for mercy.

Fearing the old woman might use her superpowers again, Ye Tong tightened her grip until the woman lost consciousness.

Her voice was fierce: "Give me the antidote, quickly—"

The servants shook their heads fearfully.

Ye Tong was beyond furious.

She quickly surveyed the area and spotted a ride-on lawnmower nearby, with a square iron container for grass clippings, supported by four small wheels.

She pointed to the lead servant: "You, start the lawnmower and get us out of here. Don’t try anything or I’ll take your mistress to hell with me!"

The male servant was so frightened by Ye Tong’s ferocity that he trembled and couldn’t get up for a long time.

He finally drove the lawnmower over but dared not run over the woman lying on the ground.

Ye Tong tied a knot with the whip around the old woman’s neck, grabbed her, and tossed her into the iron container with effort.

Unable to rely on her legs, she used her arms and waist to propel her whole body, sitting agilely into the container.

"Drive faster—"

The male servant immediately stepped on the gas, driving towards the gate.

The lawnmower wasn’t fast, even floored, it moved at about 20 mph.

Ye Tong was anxious; the longer the delay, the greater the chance of being discovered.

This whole area belonged to the Kri Family; most people living here were members of the Kri Family.

Those in the castle were direct bloodline, those outside were collateral.

***

Half an hour later—

"Huh? That color over there looks like the mistress," Masha in the car suddenly pointed out the window.

A group of people could be seen wielding sticks, shovels, and various farm tools, fighting around a lawnmower.

Ji Ning glanced over, immediately slammed on the brakes, opened the car door, and rushed over.

Ye Tong, who had already escaped the castle’s grounds, encountered a group of Rick Family collateral members about a kilometer outside the castle in a field.

The male servant seemed to have regained his courage, shouting for help loudly.

Ye Tong struck at his neck, but the collateral members of the Rick Family had already heard.

She had no choice but to battle them from atop the lawnmower. Though her legs were an inconvenience, she could handle two or three ordinary people at once, but as the numbers grew, she fell behind.

Her back got hit with a shovel several times, further aggravating her injuries.

Ji Ning arrived at this moment, severing all the farm tools attacking Ye Tong with a wind blade.

"Oh my god, a superpower user..."

Some among the collateral members recognized the superpower user and trembled, kneeling and begging for mercy.

In their eyes, superpower users were Sons of God, children chosen and favored by God, to be revered.

Ji Ning waved a hand, and those surrounding the lawnmower were swept aside like dust.

Ye Tong panted heavily; her blurred vision gradually focused, and she saw a familiar figure rushing towards her. Her bloodied lips lifted into a tragic smile.

"Sister Ning... I knew you’d come to save me..."

Ye Tong was in a wretched state, her pretty face smeared with dirt and bloodstains.

Her clothes were filthy and torn, and her exposed skin was full of bleeding wounds.

The raw flesh and bleeding were shocking, yet she had somehow endured until now.

For the first time, Ji Ning regretted her decision back then.

"Why didn’t you wait for me?"

"I didn’t want to always be your burden..."

Ji Ning’s face was extremely grim. A white glow in her palm rested on the deepest wound as she asked coldly, "Who hurt you?"

Ye Tong pointed at the unconscious old woman in the cart, a faint smile on her face, "I’ve already avenged myself..."

Ji Ning glanced coldly at the old woman with the bloody neck and asked again, "What happened to your legs?"

"Neurotoxin."

"She did it?"

"Yes..."

Ji Ning’s spiritual power enveloped the old woman instantly.

Third-stage Gold Ability User.

For Ye Tong to injure her to this extent with her current strength was no small feat.

"Bring her along, and follow me!"

The team captain who had followed them grabbed the old woman’s clothing, lifting her like a chick effortlessly.
