Chapter 204

But he won't go there now; he'll stay for the full 24 hours before showing up. After all, the roles have now reversed, and they're the ones begging to see him. He wants them to regret their past arrogance towards him.

He will go see her. Once he meets the mayor, the first thing he'll do is fire that customer service girl. That clueless woman, she can forget about keeping her job after messing with him. The mayor probably won't go against his little request as her Savior. She deserves it.

Cao An pondered how he should make an entrance to match the grandeur befitting Savior for tomorrow's meeting. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. This was exactly what a transmigrator like himself should do!

He tidied the window, which dispelled the gloom and put him in a much better mood.

His reflection was mirrored in the shop window, revealing his slightly overweight and short stature, ordinary appearance, and gloomy demeanor.

Cao An suddenly frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his appearance.

Since he acquired the storage bracelet filled with props on his wrist, he has amassed wealth at an astonishing speed, becoming a rich man. A multitude of beauties have gathered around him, and even the goddess who once looked down on him had to lower her head and throw herself into his arms. In just one month, he gained wealth, status, and beauties. The only regret is that he was unable to change his appearance and make himself handsome.

Cao An stared at the projection on the shop window, his desires insatiable. For a moment, he felt that fate hadn't been kind enough to him. Since he had already been given wealth, status, and beautiful women, why couldn't it give him a little more? Why couldn't it put one or two items that could change his appearance in his bracelet?

He suddenly became indignant, his brows furrowing deeply, filled with resentment.

A shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air in the glass in front of him, projecting a slender and ethereal figure. The shadow stared at him from the glass, her face as pale as paper, her eyes as still as a dry pool. Because of the blurred glass, she looked extremely eerie. She stood behind him, staring at him without moving, and at first glance, she looked like a ghostly figure that was about to take his life.

Scare!

Cold sweat instantly beaded on Cao An's forehead. He staggered back two steps, his legs giving way, before he whirled around and shouted, "Who?!"

His response was a gust of wind rushing towards him, a blur of motion, and a hand swiftly approached him, pressing down on his head and dragging him forward until he was slammed against the shop window with a thud.

"It seems we're not in a relationship where we can exchange names." A cold, unhurried reply sounded above him.

The air grew quiet.

But the silence lasted only a moment. The next second, the ordinary-looking man in their group of four cried out in alarm, his voice cracking. "Cao An, are you alright?!"

The sound pierced his ears, and the veins on Cao An's forehead throbbed.

At that moment, his head was slammed heavily against the glass by a hand. For some reason, the glass in front of him was exceptionally hard, and it did not crack even after his violent impact. Instead, he felt a burning sensation in his nasal cavity, and two streams of blood flowed from his nose.

Finally realizing what had happened to him, Cao An trembled with rage.

"Hey..." A gloomy voice escaped his lips as he desperately squinted backward, finally recognizing the person pinning him down. It wasn't a ghost, but a person—a woman. He'd been ambushed by a woman, humiliated and pinned here! What the hell?!

Do you want to die?

Cao An spoke slowly and deliberately, his hateful gaze scraping at the woman pressing him down like a knife, while one hand reached out to touch her.

That woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere is dead! He didn't react in time and got hit by her, it hurt him terribly!

He didn't know why this woman was treating him this way, and he didn't care to know. Anyway, she was going to die, and he didn't have much curiosity about the dead.

This woman's failure to kill him when she had the upper hand was a mistake, and now, he wants her dead!

Suddenly, a prop appeared in Cao An's hand, which he gripped tightly.

"Watch out! He has a weapon!" the superpowered individual and the woman in the group shouted in unison, "A-Rank!"

Cao An sneered inwardly, "Too late, it's too late to say anything."

The artifact had already been crushed in his hand, and a dark shadow emerged from his palm, splitting in two the instant it appeared. One half enveloped his entire body, forming a soft yet impenetrable protective blanket; the other half transformed into a long rope, attacking...

Ye Jiang saw a dark, rope-like figure attacking her. She stood still and raised her hand to meet it. In mid-air, she grabbed the long rope in the middle. The rope, which was originally aimed at her neck, didn't hesitate when it was grabbed and wrapped around her hand. The moment it wrapped around her, it melted into her skin, feeling a little cool.

Ye Jiang: "..."

What is it?

She looked down at her hands, pondering.

On the other side, because Ye Jiang raised her hand to grab the long rope, Cao An, who had been held down by her, was able to escape. The dark figure seized this opportunity, wrapped him up, and teleported him to a safe place in the distance.

"Hahaha! Woman, you have one minute left to live. Say your last words!" Hiding in a safe place, Cao An laughed wildly. "Woman, your time is running out. The shadow has already merged into your body. In one minute, you will be decomposed into a pool of blood! Oh, you can feel it now, can't you? Your flesh and blood are starting to decompose and melt. Are your feet becoming a little unsteady? Are your hands already a little unable to lift? The decomposition starts from your feet, it goes up step by step, and finally decomposes your brain. Do you know what this means? It means that the pain you feel now will be clear and last until the last second of your death!"

Upon hearing this, the ordinary men in the group flinched, their eyes filled with fear of Cao An.

The only woman, seeing that her reminder had no effect, looked reluctant and turned her head away.

The superhuman... The superhuman finally saw Ye Jiang's face clearly, as if she had appeared out of thin air, and froze.

Ye Jiang, who was "unfortunate" enough to be affected, didn't feel that she couldn't lift her hand. It was still firmly raised in mid-air. Her feet were on the ground, standing more firmly than an old tree that had been rooted for hundreds of years. Pain? Hmm? What is pain? The shadow melted into her skin, but what was being decomposed was not Ye Jiang's flesh and blood, but that unknown shadow. After leaving a trace of coolness, it had completely disappeared.

Ye Jiang observed for a while but couldn't figure it out, so she put her hand down.

With that, Cao An was convinced that, as he had said, her flesh and blood had been disintegrated and she was unable to lift her hands. A cruel smile crept onto his lips. The superhuman snapped out of his daze and took two steps uneasily toward Ye Jiang: "B-Boss."

Big shot?

Upon hearing this title, Ye Jiang looked at the superhuman. The superhuman, stared directly at by her gaze, instinctively shrank back, trembling with fear, but his eyes were bloodshot and trembling, flashing with fanatical light.

Ye Jiang remained silent. She couldn't remember what the superhuman looked like, but she still remembered the rare mental state he displayed when facing her.

This person was the Little Thief she encountered in City S, what was his name again...?

Wang Zhiqiang looked at Ye Jiang excitedly. He had actually run into the big boss here! The City A Pollution-Hunting Competition was forced to stop due to a major accident. All the contestants no longer needed to go to the wilderness. Wang Zhiqiang lost contact with the big boss. The last time he saw the big boss was at the award ceremony of the Pollution-Hunting Competition. The big boss was standing on the stage to receive the award, and he watched from afar. After the award ceremony, he never heard from the big boss again.

After the Pollution-Hunting Competition ended, Wang Zhiqiang lingered in City A for a long time, trying to find the big shot. He didn't dare to hope for too much, only feeling that even a sneak peek would be enough. But all his searches came to nothing. After months of fruitless effort, he finally gave up and went to City M City M, hoping to find opportunities to improve himself in the world's center. He was too weak; how could someone as weak as him dare to approach the big shot?

He was looking for opportunities in City M, but he didn't find any. A month ago, he simply left the city and found himself transformed into a time-traveling vagabond. To increase his chances of returning home, he had no choice but to team up with someone like Cao An.

Wang Zhiqiang never expected that he would meet a big shot in this time and space!

He was trembling with excitement.

Ye Jiang: "..."

Here we go again, that mentally unstable guy.

Ye Jiang's eye twitched.

"Big Boss?" Cao An raised his voice upon hearing Wang Zhiqiang's address. He sized up Wang Zhiqiang, then Ye Jiang, and burst out laughing. "What? Wang Zhiqiang, you superhumans are so adept at these things, and you've even recognized a big boss? But your big boss... is this all?"

He glanced at Ye Jiang sideways, his contempt palpable. His gaze swept over Ye Jiang's hand, over the Blood Moon mark on it, a fleeting hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.

Out of jealousy, he said even more offensive things, "Wang Zhiqiang, it seems your boss is about to die. Why don't you hurry up and have a good cry? If it's too late, your boss won't be able to hear your mourning."

"Cao An, you!" Wang Zhiqiang had never been so furious. He sprang to his feet, charged at Cao An, and threw a punch. He was a speed-type ability user, incredibly fast, but...

A figure passed him by; it was Ye Jiang. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Cao An, grabbed the back of Cao An head, and slammed him against the wall.

Bang!

Two tubes of blood flowed from Cao An's nose.

There was no sneak attack; Ye Jiang was facing Cao An head-on, launching her attack directly, and he was unable to react to her attack.

Cao An was completely stunned by the impact. He was humiliated as someone pressed his head down, and blood streamed from his nose.

"You, you..." Cao An, his face covered in blood, struggled to turn around and look at Ye Jiang, his expression terrified as if he had seen a ghost. "Why can you still move?!"

"Why?" Ye Jiang repeated his words expressionlessly, her hand still pressing down on him.

Ye Jiang hadn't gently pressed a human's head like this in a long time. Fortunately, she had done this many times before and hadn't become rusty. Otherwise, the humans under her care wouldn't have just had nosebleeds; their brains might have spilled out as well.

Rong Yin said that the person who killed Yan Ran and several others was a superhuman. She assumed they were all superhumans, but it turned out that only one of them was.
