Pain, It Hurt So Much!

"Jiang Che!"

The moment Xiao Chen saw Jiang Che and Shen Yuxuan appear hand in hand, his eyes turned bloodshot. He was so furious his cells practically split apart, and towering rage suddenly surged within him!

Just as he had expected, this Boss Jiang really was that damned bastard Jiang Che!

Sending him to the Police Station, swindling him out of one billion in cash flow, humiliating and torturing him—was that not enough? Now he had even stolen his home?

That thief truly wasn't human!

Naturally, Xiao Chen believed Jiang Che had targeted Shen Yuxuan because of him.

After all, there could not possibly have been any connection between a top-tier young master like Jiang Che and Shen Yuxuan.

Given Jiang Che's background, investigating Xiao Chen's life history would have been exceedingly easy.

Even though Jiang Che and Shen Yuxuan were merely holding hands and had done nothing inappropriate, Xiao Chen had already imagined countless dramatic scenes.

The balcony, the bathroom, the sofa...

It hurt so much!

Just thinking about it made Xiao Chen hurt so badly he could barely breathe. His eyes nearly split open, and his heart bled.

[ Xiao Chen hated you to the bone. Emotion Points +5566... ]

Seeing Xiao Chen's bloodshot eyes, livid face, and helpless fury, Jiang Che almost laughed.

He couldn't even handle this much?

If Xiao Chen found out that his Blood Wolf Mercenary Group had already been wiped out, and that the serialized videos of him had gone viral across the foreign internet, wouldn't he be furious enough to drop dead on the spot?

Before Jiang Che could speak, Shen Yuxuan spoke first.

"Xiao Chen, what are you doing here?!"

"Who allowed you to return to Sunshine Orphanage?"

Shen Yuxuan's expression was indifferent and her words ice-cold. Her gaze toward Xiao Chen was filled with vigilance and disgust, as though she were looking at the filthiest piece of trash in the world.

Even though six years had passed since they last met, Shen Yuxuan recognized Xiao Chen at a glance.

After all, she and Xiao Chen had grown up together at the orphanage and spent many years together. Naturally, she remembered him deeply.

"Yuxuan..."

Feeling Shen Yuxuan look at him as if he were trash, hearing her utterly cold words, Xiao Chen's heart hurt even more. He opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Yuxuan cut him off before he could finish.

"Don't call me Yuxuan. You're not worthy!"

Shen Yuxuan's voice carried a chilling coldness that seemed to strike directly at the soul, while the disgust in her eyes deepened.

Just now, Shen Yuxuan had witnessed everything: Xiao Chen attacking the foreman without bothering to distinguish right from wrong, and his deliberate attempt to kill him.

After witnessing Xiao Chen's brutality with her own eyes, Shen Yuxuan no longer held the slightest attachment to this childhood friend and former playmate.

Faced with such a callous butcher who treated human lives like grass, all Shen Yuxuan felt was endless disgust.

Looking back on the past and realizing that such scum had been by her side during her childhood, Shen Yuxuan felt physically ill, nauseated enough to vomit.

[ Shen Yuxuan was utterly disgusted by Xiao Chen. Emotion Points +7788... ]

[ Xiao Chen began questioning his life. Emotion Points +4466... ]

"I..."

Xiao Chen was truly beginning to question his life. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not understand why Shen Yuxuan's attitude toward him had become so terrible. Even that soft, sweet voice that once sounded like heavenly music now seemed so cold.

"Yuxuan, I..."

Taking several deep breaths and forcibly suppressing the urge to beat Jiang Che to a pulp, Xiao Chen tried to say something else.

"Don't call me Yuxuan!"

Xiao Chen: ...

"Miss Shen, Jiang Che is not a good person!"

"You'd better leave him as soon as possible. He's a vicious wolf that devours people!"

Although he felt incomparably stifled inside, Xiao Chen could only change the way he addressed her to avoid leaving an even worse impression in Shen Yuxuan's mind.

"Senior isn't a good person?"

"Then you, the illustrious leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, are a good person?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Shen Yuxuan let out a cold laugh. Her tone was mocking, with particular emphasis on the words "Blood Wolf Mercenary Group."

If Jiang Che could not be considered a good person, then were there any truly good people left in this world?

"Y-you know about that?"

At those words, Xiao Chen froze on the spot. It was as if a bolt from the blue had exploded in his mind, and his voice trembled like never before.

Only then did Xiao Chen finally understand why Shen Yuxuan had been so disgusted and distant toward him from the moment they met.

After all, while his identity as the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group was immensely prestigious, it also carried a very real notoriety. He was infamous throughout the international community.

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."

"You know better than anyone what filthy things you've done."

Shen Yuxuan's words dripped with sarcasm, and her gaze grew even colder.

"N-No way!"

"It was you!"

"Dammit, Jiang Che! You must have told Yuxuan about all of this!"

Xiao Chen muttered to himself before suddenly realizing what had happened. His face flushed red with rage, his chest heaved, and a vicious glint filled his eyes. Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared like a male lion on the brink of fury.

Given Shen Yuxuan's background, it should have been impossible for her to investigate what he had been through over the past few years. Yet she had still learned that he was the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.

It had to be that shameless bastard Jiang Che who had told her everything!

Xiao Chen understood that there was no longer even the slightest possibility between him and Shen Yuxuan. His image in her eyes had been completely set in stone: a mercenary leader who committed every kind of evil.

With that thought, Xiao Chen could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. His entire presence changed, radiating boundless killing intent. His figure flashed as he threw a left hook, the wind from his fist howling as it shot straight toward Jiang Che's face!

At that instant, all of Xiao Chen's hidden injuries healed completely. Even his cultivation advanced further, breaking through to the Peak Bright Force realm.

It could only be said that creatures like Children of Destiny simply could not be judged by common sense. They were all unreasonable freaks.

"Senior, be careful!"

Seeing this, Shen Yuxuan cried out, her heart instantly leaping into her throat.

Although Xiao Chen's attack was incredibly fierce, swift, and domineering, unfortunately for him, his opponent was Jiang Che.

Jiang Che did not even need to act personally. With a casual strike, Qiang Zi instantly shattered all of Xiao Chen's attacks.

"Kid, if this is all the strength you have, you should go home and train for another two and a half years!"

Qiang Zi let out a sinister cackle, seized Xiao Chen's arm with a backhanded grab, and channeled the True Qi within his body, instantly crushing Xiao Chen's dantian.

For a Peak Hua Jin martial artist like him, wouldn't handling a mere Peak Bright Force brat like Xiao Chen be effortless?

No matter how heaven-defying Xiao Chen's destiny was, there was no way he could fight across two major realms.

In Qiang Zi's hands, he was nothing more than a chick waiting to be slaughtered.

"Ah!"

Xiao Chen felt as though all his internal organs had shifted out of place in that instant. His blood and qi surged violently, his face turned deathly pale, and sweat poured down his forehead like rain.

Intense pain swept through his entire body. Xiao Chen began trembling uncontrollably, his lips turning purple as he shuddered, unable to utter a complete sentence. The pain nearly made him pass out.

Slap!

Before Xiao Chen could react, Shen Yuxuan strode forward in fury and slapped him hard across the face!
