The Bai Family Now Does Whatever They Want!

Bai Zhou hadn't expected this either.

The dignified Protagonist, Chu Yun, had actually gone mad to this extent.

He was even cursing the old grandpa in his head incessantly.

Of course, it was understandable.

After all, just as he had acquired that legendary SSS-Class Talent, and finally had the chance to soar to the heavens, the first Divine Weapon Maiden he contracted had been turned into chicken strips.

Who could possibly endure that?

It was perfectly reasonable for him to lose his mind.

Ever since the ancient voice in his mind stopped responding to him, Chu Yun had completely lost his target for venting.

He lay on the bed, listless, staring up at the dull gray ceiling.

Cold tears trickled down from the corners of his pale eyes.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock came at the door.

Chu Yun immediately wiped away his tears.

Was this the legendary pride of a Protagonist?

He then took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and said:

"Come in."

Even though he had tried his best to control it, his voice still trembled uncontrollably.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a neatly trimmed crew cut, pushed the door open and entered.

The members of the City Defense Force following behind him

cautiously closed the door after the man entered the ward.

Leaving him and Chu Yun alone.

This middle-aged man who walked into the ward, whether to make a good impression on Chu Yun or out of genuine sincerity, looked at Chu Yun with eyes full of sympathy.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering from mental damage +333, gained Destined Villain Value +100. Villain Roulette requires 3400 more to activate!]

Little did he know, that sympathetic gaze only reminded Chu Yun of his own physical shortcomings!

That was truly...

Unimportant now.

The middle-aged man had already reached the bedside and spoke to Chu Yun first:

"Hello, student Chu Yun."

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Zhao Gang, and I am the Commander-in-Chief of this city's City Defense Force!"

Hearing Zhao Gang's introduction, Chu Yun was taken aback.

The Commander-in-Chief of the City Defense Force.

Was he really this young?

Considering that due to the war with the otherworld races, various countries had adopted a city-state system.

Each city possessed a city, and within the city's boundaries, there was one person with the highest local authority and status: the City Lord.

They had absolute say over their city and could enact laws and regulations within its boundaries.

The City Defense Force, on the other hand, was directly under the command of the nation.

The Commander-in-Chief of the City Defense Force in every city was directly appointed from the national level.

In addition to maintaining the city's public order, they had another important task: supervising the City Lord.

Supervising, in reality, meant monitoring.

To prevent the City Lord from becoming addicted to power and deviating from the nation's interests.

Therefore, the status of the Commander-in-Chief of the City Defense Force within the city was equal to, or even subtly higher than, that of the City Lord.

And such a high-ranking figure was only in his thirties or forties?

Furthermore, he had personally appeared in Chu Yun's ward.

This showed how much importance they placed on this SSS-Class Talent.

Chu Yun then struggled to prop himself up on the hospital bed, as if trying to get up.

Zhao Gang quickly raised his hand and said, "Student Chu Yun, please lie down."

"Lord Commander, please forgive Chu Yun for not being able to bow," Chu Yun said politely.

"No matter, no matter," Zhao Gang waved his hand, dragged a chair over from the side, sat by Chu Yun's bed, and continued, "Student Chu Yun is not feeling well, so there's no need for such formalities."

Chu Yun's lips twitched slightly, but he maintained good control over his emotions and said, "May I ask why the Commander-in-Chief has come to see me?"

Zhao Gang didn't hide anything and immediately said, "Student Chu Yun has awakened an SSS-Class talent, a terrifying potential that only appears in legends!"

"This matter is not only taken seriously by the leaders of this city, but even my superiors were greatly shocked upon hearing the news!"

"Therefore, they sent me to personally protect your safety!"

Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +555, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 3200 more to activate!

Yeah, Zhao Gang's words seemed to be expressing shock at how amazing Chu Yun was.

And how important Chu Yun's current identity was.

But you're saying you're here to protect my safety?

Is this how you protect me?!

I've already been made into chicken strips by someone!

Thinking about this, Chu Yun felt like crying.

However, he also knew who he could and couldn't scold.

This was the Protagonist's brain.

So he said to Zhao Gang, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Actually... it wasn't brain at all!

To put it bluntly, Chu Yun didn't dare to scold the Commander-in-Chief.

After all, this Commander-in-Chief wasn't just a mere spiritual body that depended on him to survive.

He was living just fine on his own, and if Chu Yun offended him, he would definitely suffer even more in the future!

Zhao Gang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Student Chu Yun, you don't need to thank me."

"With your SSS-Class potential, you are the hope for us humans! Protecting you is everyone's duty!"

These words made Chu Yun's eyelids twitch incessantly.

The humans you're talking about aren't all of humanity, are they?

However, as he reached this point, Zhao Gang's expression slightly sank, and his tone became a bit dry as he said, "However, there is one thing I must remind Student Chu Yun of."

"What is it?" Chu Yun was stunned.

Zhao Gang took a deep breath and slowly said, "We deeply sympathize with what happened to Student Chu Yun."

Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +666, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 3100 more to activate!

Chu Yun was speechless.

If you sympathize with me, then why bring up something so sensitive!

But what Zhao Gang was about to say seemed to be exactly that.

So he continued, "If Student Chu Yun wants revenge... I advise you to temporarily put aside that thought."

"What?!" Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Chu Yun's fists instantly clenched!

"You mean, after being treated like this, I can only endure it?!"

Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +666, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 3000 more to activate!

The emotions Chu Yun had suppressed for a long time were now showing signs of breaking.

Zhao Gang seemed to have anticipated Chu Yun's reaction.

So he said, "Student Chu Yun, listen to me first."

"You should know who you've offended."

"The Bai Family... one of the Four Great Conglomerates, the Bai Family!"

"What's more, three of the Ten Great Masters are direct descendants of the Bai Family. Their family doesn't just have money, they have power, and immense strength!"

[Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage 555, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 2900 more to activate!]

Chu Yun clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and interrupting Zhao Gang's words, saying:

"So the Bai Family can do whatever they want?!"

His voice was almost a roar, fueled by anger.

But Zhao Gang looked at Chu Yun very calmly, his expression serious as he slowly nodded:

"The current situation... you're absolutely right."

"The Bai Family, they can do whatever they want!"

"Wh-..." Chu Yun's pale purple lips looked even paler.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +888, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 2800 more to activate!]

"Then..." He seemed to have thought of something, his pupils brightening slightly as he said:

"What about Shen Qin? That bitch Shen Qin, can't I get revenge on her either?"

Hearing this, even Zhao Gang's expression became a little unnatural as he looked deeply at Chu Yun.

Under Chu Yun's expectant gaze, he slowly shook his head.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +999, gained Destined Villain Value +100, Villain Roulette requires 2700 more to activate!]

[Ding! Detected Protagonist suffering mental damage +99999, gained Destined Villain Value +200, Villain Roulette requires 2500 more to activate!]

Chu Yun's gaze, fixed on the ceiling, became even more despairing, his voice even cracking with a hint of tears:

"Is it... do I really have no chance?"

But at this moment, Zhao Gang's expression turned serious, and he spoke with great conviction:

"No!"

"Of course you have a chance!"
