Protagonist? Antagonist? I Reject Both

"Did you forget poison and drugs won't work on us? And if any of those m*therfucker tried to force his way with me or rape me, I am taking down the whole fuckers with me. After all, I am too hot for those fuckers to handle, "Sophia shouted with a cold gaze.

"But you will die?"Feng Ruoxi shouted.

"No, I won't, "Sophia answered with a smile and held Feng Ruoxi's hands.

SWOOSH!

A beautiful crimson flame swirled in Feng Ruoxi's hands. Seeing this, Feng Ruoxi's eyes widened in shock and horror.

Sophia's smile was bittersweet as she reassured Feng Ruoxi, their hands clasped in a desperate embrace. With a swift motion, Sophia revealed the crimson flame in Feng Ruoxi's hands, a symbol of their shared lineage and power.

"Th...Is this your fire essence..."Feng Ruoxi's voice faltered for a moment.

Since all of them had Phoenix bloodline, once they reached Martial Emperor with Phoenix Martial Spirit, they could separate a fire essence of themselves.

If they die, this fire essence will act as their soul reservoir. It was like a copy of a person's soul. If you put this fire essence in a suitable body, it will burn the person and mold it into your true shape. If the person's body is strong, you will gain cultivation but if it's low you will lose your cultivation nevertheless you will live.

This technique was the reason why the Feng family remained in seclusion, hiding from the eyes of other families. If other families knew it they wouldn't be safe.

"Listen, whatever happens to me. Don't act foolishly. First, wait for Leon, and after you tell him everything, follow his plans. I am sure he will know what to do. And if I die, just use this on someone suitable, however, don't kill that person unreasonably and try to find a heinous criminal and use this."

"Still isn't this unfair for everyone to gang up on you and why can't you escape?"Feng Ruoxi muttered with sad eyes.

As Feng Ruoxi voiced her concerns about Sophia's safety, the latter's resolve hardened. "I won't let them take me alive. And if they try, I'll take them down with me."

Feng Ruoxi's eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she struggled to accept the unfairness of their situation. "But why must you bear this burden alone? It's not fair—"

Sophia's gaze turned steely with resolve. "Because I'm the Queen. I can't abandon my duty, even at the cost of my own life."

"If I escaped they would hunt everyone related to me so go now and while taking the secret path be careful. I don't know how many rats are hiding in it."

Feng Ruoxi squeezed Sophia harder and trying to contain her tears muttered with a bright smile."Don't worry about me. After all, I am the sister of the Queen of Underground."

"You will look good when you smile, "Sophia muttered, patting Feng Ruoxi's back.

Feng Ruoxi gave Sophia a final hug before departing. With a final, lingering look, Feng Ruoxi tore herself away from her sister's embrace, her heart heavy with the weight of impending loss.

As she departed, she couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness, watching her sister's expression harden with determination, even as her facade crumbled.

Sophia stared at Feng Ruoxi back with a soft gaze but her expression slowly started to get chilly.

........

Outside Maple Street, a young man with hands in his pocket stood at the Avenue staring at a huge district...

The street which has always been filled with noises and glitter was now empty.

There wasn't a soul lingering out here making it look like a haunted place.

"From tomorrow, this place is gonna be mine."A sinister grin escaped from his lips as he darted across the street.

He had to bleed a bit to make them do this but he promised them a quota of serum once it developed along with dividing the leftover of the Queen.

Master Seph, we will commence the attack now."Three people spoke simultaneously, bowing their heads.

One of them was a bald-head Ling chao, who was the master of the Nightshade consortium. Another was a black woman named Michel Eclipse Cartel and the last one belonged to the Elliot family and was managed by one of Elliot's brothers, Sam Elliot who was also the head of Twilight Alliance

The three gangs used to rule the underground until Sophia appeared and pummeled them to the dust with both her fist and in business.

Then the family intervened but the profit offered by Sophia and her power was enough to make them back down.

A woman who can even rival a Martial Emperor.

And unless necessary, no family wants to lose a Martial Emperor just to take down a woman running a fighting club here.

Seph nodded with a smile while putting on a cigar. The servant beside him bowed a bit and extended the lighter.

Taking a puff of cigar and blowing it, he cast a faint smile.

"Go but be careful. She isn't an ordinary Martial King. I will send reinforcements immediately if you are in trouble. If you do this perfectly, I will make sure you will be rewarded."

"Hahaha! Sir Seph, there is no need for help. Three of us have been enough, We have been preparing for this," Michelle laughed with a rough accent.

"Yes, just trust us, Master Seph, we will tear that bitch."Ling Chao shouted, beating his sturdy chest.

Ling's family was a fallen family and working in the underground was their saving grace but because Sophia started dominating it, they lost a lot that's why Ling Chao can't wait to make that bitch kneel and beat her to a bloody pulp.

"I have been training since that day. She won't pose a threat to us."Sam nodded.

Seph didn't answer and just kept on smiling.

Getting his will soon the three Martial Kings shot toward the huge building in the middle of the district.

Seeing their disappearing back, he looked at backups.

"Do we need them?"A servant of Seph muttered, staring at the huge number of people surrounding the place.

"Those three won't be enough."Seph assessed.

"But…"

"Believe me….She isn't easy to take down. She is going to be the fiercest enemy we have faced till now."

Rubbing his chin, Seph commented, "It's not that she had exceptional prowess; rather it's the annoying flames that gave her tremendous firepower."

His words shook his guards greatly.

Seph then was about to take another puff when the cigar caught fire out of nowhere.

Just a few moments later, a loud explosion reverberated, and three figures covered in flames were shot out like missiles clashing with the other buildings.

And then from the entrance, a woman with a fiery haze and a blood-curdling smile walked out.

"Oh! So, it's you who is behind this as expected…"

"Surely your appetizer is too big but...."

A cold yet fiery seductive voice permeated the place.

"Can you digest these flames of mine?"

...…..

Cough…Cough…
