Watching Fang Xiu’s action, Nie Tai was utterly helpless. He could only watch as the rock came crashing down.
’It’s over. My family line ends here.’
"Ah!"
A pained scream. "Huh?"
The pain he’d expected never came.
’Could it be that castration isn’t that painful?’
Nie Tai opened his eyes and looked down, breathing a sigh of relief.
Because Fang Xiu’s rock hadn’t smashed down directly. It had stopped on his pants, a centimeter away from his body.
"Thank... thank you!"
In that moment, Nie Tai was somewhat grateful.
Fang Xiu hadn’t actually destroyed his manhood.
For some reason, even with all four of his limbs crippled, Nie Tai still felt grateful.
"Holy shit, it still missed? I guess you’re just sma... I mean, you’re a lucky bastard... It’s really small!"
Fang Xiu shot Nie Tai a contemptuous look.
’The rock landed right on his pants, and it still missed.’
Even Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that.
Nie Tai’s face flushed slightly at Fang Xiu’s words.
’But as long as it was safe, he’d let Fang Xiu say whatever he wanted.’
"Is what he said true?"
Fang Xiu asked, looking at Yu Boyuan.
Yu Boyuan didn’t answer.
’So it was Lu Yu’er. The voice on the phone just now was definitely hers.’
In truth, Fang Xiu had known it was Lu Yu’Er all along.
After all, the only person he’d had a conflict with recently was Lu Yu’Er.
It could hardly even be called a conflict. It was just Lu Yu’Er unilaterally holding a grudge.
So Fang Xiu just needed to confirm whether Lu Yu’Er was behind it.
Since both of them knew Lu Yu’Er, Fang Xiu was now almost a hundred percent certain she was the one behind it.
"I did this myself. It has nothing to do with Lu Yu’Er."
Yu Boyuan said calmly, looking at Fang Xiu.
He was taking all the blame on himself.
"Oh? Then why did you want to kill me? I don’t think we’ve ever met."
Fang Xiu, of course, didn’t believe him.
He’d never even met Yu Boyuan. What reason could the man possibly have to kill him?
"We haven’t met, but I know who you are, Fang Xiu. You live in that villa. If I kill you, the villa’s mine!"
It seemed Yu Boyuan had prepared this excuse in advance, just in case he lost.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu nodded. "That’s a decent reason, I suppose."
"That’s my reason for trying to kill you!"
Yu Boyuan’s expression was fearless.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "In that case, I have no choice but to hand you over."
"Fine. I don’t care."
Yu Boyuan said bluntly.
All he wanted right now was to protect his goddess, Lu Yu’Er.
"Impressive. Infiltrating the school’s Gate World, ambushing a student, and attacking an SSS Level Awakened... those charges alone should be enough for a death sentence."
In this world, conflicts between Awakened were inevitable. Sometimes, the authorities would turn a blind eye. After all, if one Awakened was lost and another was sentenced to death, that would be a loss of two Awakened at once—a situation any country would want to avoid.
But this time was different.
Fang Xiu hadn’t died, and he was an SSS Level Awakened.
Yu Boyuan was only C Level.
Furthermore, Yu Boyuan had been the aggressor. Infiltrating a school’s Gate World to attack a student was already grounds for a severe sentence.
So, under these circumstances, both Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai were facing the death penalty.
"GULP! I... I was just an accomplice. I shouldn’t get the death penalty, right?"
Nie Tai was terrified.
’He hadn’t lived long enough!’
’If he was really sentenced to death, what would he do?’
"Don’t worry. I’ll ask the judge to commute your sentences to life in prison."
Fang Xiu said to Nie Tai, his expression gentle.
Hearing this, both Nie Tai and Yu Boyuan could hardly believe their ears.
"You... You’d be that kind?"
Yu Boyuan asked.
He had just tried to kill Fang Xiu, after all.
’Why would Fang Xiu plead for them now?’
’Is he trying to use this to get me to expose Lu Yu’Er?’
"Hmph. Not a chance!"
At this thought, Yu Boyuan snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Nie Tai watched, completely baffled.
’What’s with him, asking and answering his own questions?’
"It’s definitely not what you’re thinking."
Fang Xiu seemed to know what Yu Boyuan was thinking.
He just gave a faint smile and said, "If I’m not mistaken, when Lu Yu’Er told you to kill me, she must have promised she’d go to a hotel with you if you succeeded, right?"
At these words, the eyes of both Nie Tai and Yu Boyuan went wide.
Nie Tai couldn’t believe his ears.
He only knew there would be a reward, but he’d never imagined it would be *that*.
Yu Boyuan, on the other hand, was shocked that Fang Xiu had guessed it so accurately.
’Is this guy’s mind really that sharp?’
"So, now that you’ve failed to kill me and you’re going to prison, Lu Yu’Er will definitely just find someone else to kill me using the same method."
Fang Xiu didn’t give them a chance to ask questions, continuing right on.
Yu Boyuan’s brow furrowed as he listened. ’What on earth is this Fang Xiu getting at?’
"Yep. She’ll go to a hotel with someone else."
Fang Xiu smiled faintly. "And from what I hear, Lu Yu’Er is still a virgin. I wonder who the lucky guy will be."
"FUCK!"
Hearing that, Yu Boyuan’s composure completely shattered.
’Talk about a fatal blow to the heart!’
’No wonder Fang Xiu offered to have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment.’
’So this was what he was waiting for!’
"Don’t worry. I’ll even visit you in prison and tell you who Lu Yu’Er ends up with."
Fang Xiu said with a faint smile.
"You... Lu Yu’Er isn’t that kind of person!"
Yu Boyuan roared.
"Then what kind of person is she? You can’t possibly think she’d fall for a simp like you, can you?"
Every one of Fang Xiu’s words was a dagger to the heart.
It was true. Yu Boyuan had been nothing but a simp for Lu Yu’Er.
But now...
"Not anymore! I’m not anymore! I’m not a simp! She only has a D Level Talent, and I’m C Level!"
Yu Boyuan finally broke down, roaring, "If that woman dares to find someone else, I’ll kill her!!!"
"You won’t get the chance. But once she’s been molded into someone else’s shape, I’ll be sure to let you know."
Fang Xiu’s tone was still laced with mockery.
Step by step, he was breaking down Yu Boyuan’s defenses.
"Impossible!"
As he said this, Yu Boyuan threw a punch at Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu raised a hand and caught it easily.
Then, with a twist...
CRACK!
AARGH—
The sound of bone cracking and a bloodcurdling scream erupted almost simultaneously.
Fang Xiu then flung Yu Boyuan to the ground.
He brought his foot down on the man’s knee.
CRACK!
Another sharp crack, another pained scream.
Now Yu Boyuan, just like Nie Tai, had all four of his limbs crippled.
"Just lie here and wait for the judgment of the law."
Fang Xiu said flatly, looking down at Yu Boyuan.
"Help me... Help me kill Lu Yu’Er!"
Just then, Yu Boyuan spoke in a weak voice. "If I can’t have her, no one can!"
Hearing this, Fang Xiu looked at Yu Boyuan, who was sprawled on the ground gasping for breath, and retorted, "And why should I help you?"
