BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97
Injured, she knew continuing the fight would do no good. Today, she couldn’t finish off Xiao Fan. She’d have to find another way.
As Alice’s figure vanished, Xiao Fan could no longer pretend. He spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
“Master, are you alright?” Yang Gaofei asked worriedly, seeing Xiao Fan looking like he was on his last breath.
“I’m fine…” Xiao Fan shook his head and sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to heal himself. Yang Gaofei stood by silently, guarding him.
After a moment, Xiao Fan expelled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. “How many did we lose?” He asked, seeing the scattered corpses around him.
“We lost more than ten brothers, they lost two…” Yang Gao Fei replied awkwardly. In truth, he hadn’t used his full strength in the fight, so he was relatively unscathed.
“Useless bunch!” Xiao Fan coughed, annoyed.
Yang Gaofei didn’t say anything, silently taking out a hundred-poison pill Jiang Che had given him and handing it to Xiao Fan.
“Hall master, this is a healing pill I’ve been keeping. Please take it.”
Xiao Fan didn’t think twice, swallowing the pill. He trusted Yang Gaofei and didn’t suspect betrayal.
Just after taking the pill, Xiao Fan felt something wrong. It felt like his organs were suddenly filled with toxins. His complexion visibly darkened, the bone-piercing pain leaving him powerless.
“You…” Xiao Fan glared at Yang Gao Fei, realizing he’d been given poison, not medicine. “Why betray me!”
“Why?” Yang Gao Fei burst into manic laughter. “Do you know what I’ve been through these three years?”
“I followed you from the Shura Hall to Jiuzhou Country, thinking we’d achieve great things. But you, you ended up a useless son-in-law at the Zhou family. And every day, you ordered me around like a dog without pay, even verbally abusing me!”
“People have limits, Xiao Fan. You being greened is your retribution!”
“You… shut up!” Xiao Fan’s face reddened in anger and coughing fits, clearly agitated by his words.
Suddenly, a procession of Rolls-Royce Phantoms approached. Jiang Che got out of the car, looking amusedly at Xiao Fan, followed by several solemn-looking men in black.
“Jiang… Che…” Seeing Jiang Che, Xiao Fan roared furiously, his eyes brimming with undisguised murderous intent. Despite struggling, he couldn’t stand up, the poison rapidly spreading in his body.
“Ah, the mighty Xiao Fan reduced to this. Quite a spectacle,” Jiang Che squatted down, his face mocking.
“Jiang Che, may you die a horrible death!” Xiao Fan cursed, his face contorted in rage. Each word he uttered made him paler.
“People have wished me dead before, but they all ended up dying by my hands,” Jiang Che replied nonchalantly.
“My dear Xiao Fan, today I’ve come to send you on your way,” Jiang Che said, patting Xiao Fan’s face mockingly. He then leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I must say, your wife is truly delightful.”
“You…” Xiao Fan’s eyes widened in rage. Before he could finish his words, Jiang Che ended his life with a single palm strike. Xiao Fan lay motionless, eyes wide open in death.
“Ding, the host has manipulated Yang Gao Fei to betray Xiao Fan, altering the storyline. Reward: 3000 villain points.”
“Ding, the host has slain the Son of Luck — Xiao Fan. Reward: a mysterious treasure chest.”
“Ding, the system has detected Xiao Fan’s death and is searching for the next protagonist. Does the host wish to accept the new storyline?”
“No,” Jiang Che finished his conversation with the system and turned to Xiao Fan’s followers, commanding, “Kill them all, leave no survivors!”
Understanding the importance of removing all traces, the bodyguards swiftly executed Jiang Che’s orders. Soon, pained screams filled the air as each strike took another life.
“Jiang Master, my task is done. May I leave now?” Yang Gao Fei asked, looking nervously at Jiang Che. After witnessing Jiang Che’s ruthlessness, he only wished to leave alive.
“Of course, you may go,” Jiang Che replied calmly. As Yang Gao Fei turned to leave, he suddenly collapsed. Jiang Che looked at him dismissively, “Such a fool!”
“Jiang Master, we have cleared the area,” the lead bodyguard reported, his face stern.
“Good, dispose of the bodies,” Jiang Che instructed, handing over corpse-dissolving powder. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the bodies had to be dealt with efficiently.
“Understood, Jiang Master.” The bodyguard took the powder and proceeded to dissolve the bodies, leaving nothing behind but a nauseating scent in the air.
“Clean up the surroundings,” Jiang Che ordered before getting into his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
“System, open the mysterious treasure chest.”
“Ding, opening the mysterious treasure chest…”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10,000 villain points and a life-saving talisman.”
“What’s the use of this talisman?” Jiang Che asked curiously.
“The life-saving talisman, as the name suggests, can be used in a life-threatening situation to block a fatal blow for the host.”
“That’s impressive!” Jiang Che exclaimed, excited about the new item. With the talisman, he essentially had an extra life.
“System, open the attribute panel.”
