Ch 263: You Haven’t Been Possessed, Have You?

“Don’t… don’t…”

Liu Hua’s face was ashen, his pupils constricted, and he was terrified. Su Chen held him suspended in mid-air, and he trembled.

The others were stunned by Su Chen’s ferocious appearance. They had never seen such a fierce person before. He lifted Liu Hua with one hand, not to mention the fact that he was about to kill him—it was truly terrifying!

Zhu Xingyuan was also stunned, staring blankly at Su Chen. After a while, he came to his senses, shivering all over.

He could tell from Su Chen’s eyes that Su Chen wasn’t joking, but serious.

The act of killing became clearer and clearer in his mind…

In fact, he had often cursed people and said he would kill them, but it was just talk, not a real intention to kill.

But now, Su Chen was turning that talk into reality. It can only be said that Su Chen was utterly mad; that was murder!

“No, no, no…”

The next moment, Zhu Xingyuan came to his senses, quickly shaking his head and waving his hands, nervously saying, “Su Chen, don’t be impulsive. We don’t need to kill someone over such a trivial matter.”

Hearing Zhu Xingyuan’s words, Liu Hua’s relieved heart immediately relaxed; at least he wouldn’t die.

But Su Chen’s next words made him fearful again.

“Xiaopang, you don’t have to worry about revenge. I’ll protect you. In Dragon City, no one will ignore my threat,” Su Chen said calmly. His voice wasn’t loud, but it exuded an indescribable overbearing aura that was hard to ignore.

Zhu Xingyuan seemed to be meeting Su Chen for the first time. He stared blankly at Su Chen for several seconds, confirming that the person in front of him was indeed his good friend of many years. He swallowed hard and shook his head again: “No need, Liu Hua doesn’t deserve to die.”

Then, Zhu Xingyuan said to Liu Hua, “You say that you will never oppose us again, never seek revenge on us, and then we will let you go.”

At this point, how could Liu Hua possibly refuse? He might not care about Zhu Xingyuan, but he couldn’t ignore Su Chen. In fact, he was now in awe of Su Chen, no longer feeling the contempt he had before.

“Yes, yes, yes! I absolutely will not oppose you again, nor will I seek revenge on you. Please rest assured,” Liu Hua hastily apologized, emphasizing his sincerity.

Zhu Xingyuan said to Su Chen, “Su Chen, let him go, before you really strangle him to death.”

Liu Hua’s face was now swollen purple, his eyes rolling. He seemed about to pass out. Seeing this, Zhu Xingyuan’s forehead was sweating profusely; he was really afraid that Su Chen might accidentally strangle Liu Hua to death.

Under Daxia’s law, murder is punishable by death, especially if the victim is a Rich Second Generation like Liu Hua.

Once Su Chen killed Liu Hua, Daxia would have no place for Su Chen!

Su Chen saw Zhu Xingyuan’s worry and didn’t force him. He loosened his grip, and Liu Hua fell to the ground like a limp rag, hitting his knee with a thud. The pain made him grimace, but he dared not show any dissatisfaction and could only endure it silently.

“Remember, you owe Zhu Xingyuan a life. It’s because of him that I’m sparing your dog life. If you dare to seek revenge on him, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will find you and kill you.”

Liu Hua was now terrified; he had no thoughts of opposition left. He nodded hastily and then fled in disgrace.

Several other Rich Second Generations who were with him also fled in disgrace.

After they were gone, Zhu Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, sitting down on a nearby stone, panting.

What had just happened put considerable pressure on him.

“Sigh, this time, we’ve offended Liu Hua badly,” Zhu Xingyuan gave a bitter smile, his face full of bitterness.

Su Chen patted him on the shoulder, “Relax, I’ll handle it.”

Su Chen wasn’t bragging; a small fry like Liu Hua, and the Liu family behind him, weren’t something he took seriously.

Perhaps the Liu family would beat Liu Hua up after learning about today’s events and then come to apologize profusely.

Zhu Xingyuan gave Su Chen a resentful look, his lips moving as he couldn’t help but say, “Su Chen, I feel like you’ve become a different person, so violent and bold!”

“Have I?” Su Chen scratched his head.

“Of course!” Zhu Xingyuan was excited, scrutinizing Su Chen for a while before showing a wary expression. “You wouldn’t have been possessed, would you?”

“What are you talking about?” Su Chen rolled his eyes furiously.

Zhu Xingyuan said heavily, “I’ve read a lot of online novels. When the protagonists suddenly change their personalities and become incredibly powerful, it’s because they’ve been possessed.”

Saying this, he looked at Su Chen vigilantly, increasingly thinking it was possible.

Before, he thought Su Chen’s personality change was because of his broken engagement with Han Qianxue. But, thinking carefully, it wasn’t just his personality that changed, but also his abilities. He suddenly became so strong, which was abnormal.

Besides possession, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.

Seeing Zhu Xingyuan actually suspecting him, Su Chen said directly, “Possessed my ass, I’m Su Chen.”

“How do you prove it?”

“Simple.” Su Chen stared at Zhu Xingyuan and said, “Three years ago, you were heartbroken, so you came to me for drinks and cried all night, even using my foot as a microphone to sing.”

“You have a tooth mark on your back from when you were bitten by a dog at the age of fourteen. Since then, you’ve been afraid of dogs.”

“And…”

Su Chen continued to recount many of Zhu Xingyuan’s past embarrassing moments, some of which were very private, unknown to others except for him and Su Chen. Zhu Xingyuan believed him and quickly stopped Su Chen, “Okay, okay, I believe you, don’t say anymore.”

“Do you believe me now?” Su Chen said ungraciously.

Zhu Xingyuan dropped his guard, walked to Su Chen, still looking puzzled, “Okay, I believe you weren’t possessed. But your changes in these few months have been too drastic! Before, you were very refined, never fond of fighting, wouldn’t even kill a chicken, and yet you just dared to kill someone.”

Hearing Zhu Xingyuan’s words, Su Chen fell silent for a moment.

His changes in these few months were indeed significant. It was the most turbulent and unforgettable period of his life, also the most influential one, almost a metamorphosis. Besides his transformation from an ordinary person into a Celestial Human Realm strong person, his mental state had also undergone a huge change; it was indeed a drastic change in personality.

What remained unchanged was his inner self and his values.

“I’ve indeed been through a lot this month,” Su Chen nodded, acknowledging Zhu Xingyuan’s words.

Zhu Xingyuan saw that Su Chen seemed to have some unspeakable secrets and wasn’t very willing to confide; he didn’t ask further.

Being brothers to Su Chen wasn’t just lip service; he truly regarded Su Chen as a brother.

They might not have been in frequent contact recently, but their feelings remained in their hearts.

“Okay, as long as you’re still you,” Zhu Xingyuan nodded, showing a smile. Then, looking towards the hunting ground with reluctance, he said, “Let’s go home.”

Su Chen saw his expression and said, “Why go home? Didn’t we say we’re going to that event? Let’s go.”

Zhu Xingyuan said, “But we’ve offended Liu Hua so badly, how can we still go?”

“Who says we need Liu Hua to go? Watch this,” Su Chen said, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.
