Alvin instinctively wanted to refute her, but on second thought, he kept quiet and allowed her to continue.

“My family went bankrupt last week. My dad was accused of tax evasion and industrial fraud. And my elder brother who was a top ranking army official was framed for treason and leaking top classified national secrets to the enemy. And he was killed according to martial law, ignoring his years of contributions to society. When they sent us his corpse, mom had a heart attack at the spot, and I rushed her to the hospital, but she couldn't make it. I lost my brother, my only sibling, just a few hours before mom followed him. But that was still bearable. At least, I had someone to hold me up, or so I thought. Until I walked in on my boyfriend and my best friend having an affair.”

The moment she mentioned having an affair, Alvin's heart sped up as memories of his own time at Sonya's family assaulted his mind.

The girl sniffed and continued, crying as she recounted her tearful story. Alvin was bored senseless, barely able to feign concentration. But the more he listened to her, the angrier he became. The idiot before him was just another love brain, who allowed the enemies get to her using the spies they planted by her side; her boyfriend and best friend, to destroy every last member of her family.

“Every member of my family is now dead, buried all by myself! The companies, the legacies, the wealth that has been in the family for generations are all gone without a trace. I single handedly ruined my family, I let the tiger in, letting him cooperate with the enemies waiting outside to eat up everything. A great sinner like me, why must I be the one alive? Do I deserve to live after all the calamities I caused?”

“The blood of my family is in my hands and the lives of millions of KS group workers whom I have let down, letting them lose their source of livelihood are all on my hands weighing me down. Do you think I want to live? Perhaps, if I die, I can kneel before my family and beg for forgiveness over there. Or at least, go to hell and suffer torments to pay for my sins. I'm sorry for dragging you to this, but death is the only way forward. I have no reason to live anymore, nor do I want to. I have lost all motivation. Penniless and in debt, sick and alone, with everyone I cherished all gone. What the fuck should I keep living for?”

She was crying as she repeatedly slapped herself, as if doing that would ease the guilt she felt.

“So what do you want to do? Kill yourself after I went through all that to save you, shedding blood, sweat and tears. Leah, are you going to jump again? Are you going to fucking attempt suicide again?” Alvin roared, clutching her collars. The girl didn't say anything but it was obvious her mind was already made up to end everything with herself.

Alvin's heart sank and his hands itched to slap her to reset her brain. A real heavy slap, not the tickles she had been giving herself.

“A life for a life is that it? Since you made a mistake, you should die and relieve yourself from the guilt, is that it? As expected of a woman, how selfish and fickle you are! Have you thought about your parents? Will they want you to die and totally end the family line?”

Her tears didn't sway him, and he continued to scold her, his voice harsh and filled with criticisms.

“You didn't want to listen when they were alive, now they're dead you want to shirk all the responsibilities and take the coward's way out. Instead of you to dust yourself, pick yourself up, and plan a way to pay them back in their own coins, you're here exhibiting your legendary stupidity. Are you the one that should die or is it their vile gang? How much more will you disappoint your parents?” Alvin growled, and grabbed a hold of her hands, ignoring the tears which kept streaming down.

She looked shattered, humiliated and disappointed. But there was only a sentence in Alvin's mind.

‘She's immature, weak willed and a little foolish girl controlled by her emotions—a real piece of work.’ He had already sacrificed lots of things to get her back. If she insists on dying, won't all his sacrifices so far be a waste?

“You truly deserve to die. I didn't see it before, but now, I totally agree.” Alvin suddenly said and stood up as if to leave.

The startled girl stopped crying for a moment and looked up at him. Attention seekers were all like this, being dramatic because they needed someone to beg and hold them back. As long as Alvin continues to pamper her, she will continue going overboard. She suddenly sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Of course. Someone that got her entire family killed does not deserve to live.”

“You don't deserve to live, not because of the tragedy, but because you're too stupid. You knew your stupidity led to all this mess, yet you're about to do something even more unforgivable.”

“What do you think your brother wants the most? It's to get revenge against those bastards. And what are you trying to do? You want to take the easy coward’s way out so that the enemies can continue living in peace, enjoying their lives, and scheming more atrocities. You want to die and allow them to enjoy the things they stole from your family. You're not worthy of your parents, you're a useless daughter, you're even worse than those bastards.”

  • Traps of the black hearted

    Chu Feng instantly understood what they wanted to do. Convict Su Ying of treason, kill her first and come for them later. “What's the punishment for someone who betrays the valley?” “Death by a thousand cuts.” Yuwen Ruohan announced loudly from the podium. Sweat matted every inch of Zhang Xiao Wei's body as he watched what's happening. “This is bad. They might truly disregard the Su clan to take her down.” “What are we going to do? First brother is not here. Can we really fend them off all on our own? The rest of the disciples might join in the fight if the elders use their authority to force them.” Chu Feng leaps to the air, but Su Mei's firm grasp on his arm prevented him from joining Su Ying mid air. His anxiety had reached the peak. His heart was pounding a mile a minute. If he had known they would be this shameless, twisting facts, he wouldn't have let her challenge them. “Jade palace is their main target. First brother is gone. You and Zhang Xiao Wei should stay ou

  • attack first, think later

    The ascension Pavillion immediately descended into chaos as discussion and murmurs filled the air. “That's right. What if someone from the sect had intercepted him, and told him that the sect master called him or something. They could have led him straight to a trap. He wouldn't have suspected because it's a familiar person.” “What Senior Su Ying said makes sense. First brother is very powerful, a divine emperor cultivation realm master. If it's not a trap laid down by cunny means, who would dare claim they can deal with him.” “There's another possibility. While flogging him that day at the sinner's Pavillion, they hid a curse or formation on his body which they activated that night to kill him. How despicable.” “What do you expect? Murong Wuque shined way too bright. Even the sect master hates him. They're all very jealous of him.” “Selfish people.” “Who knows why they gathered us here?” “What else? They want to heap more crimes on him. So that when they finally bring out hi

    Ascension Pavillion. “I don't like the look on that dog’s face. He's definitely not up to something good.” Chu Feng muttered under his breath. “That's for sure.” Su Mei sighed, playing with the prayer beads on her wrists as her mind worked like a clock.“I have a feeling that he's set multiple traps for us. No matter how much we avoid it, he will have another way to deal with us.”“Yang Yang hasn't returned. What if they start something with him? I should have gone myself.” Su Ying muttered, worry eating her up. “You think he will spare you if you were the one trapped?” Chu Feng asked, turning to look at her. Su Ying rolled her eyes. “What can they do to me? If they try something outrageous with me, I will reduce everything to rubble. But Yang Yang is too calm and upright.” She made a tsk tsk tsk sound with her tongue. “Indeed, swordsmen are way too rigid.”Zhang Xiao Wei’s hand tightened on the serpent punishing rod, his heart pounding. For a reason he knew not, he felt very anxi

    Earth, Villa number seven. Alvin rushed into the room. The formation was blinking a yellow light, showing that someone had fulfilled the condition. However, the lights are getting weaker, and less frequent, “This won't do. The person who fulfilled the condition is getting distracted and unstable, decreasing his yearning. If this continues, they might drop the item before we connect.”Alvin muttered, rushing to power up the formation. “Boss, I don't think we should power it up here.” A voice behind him made Alvin turn around. It was Tiffany standing by the door, her leg crossed casually still dressed in black leather outfit. “Master, that's right. We don't know where the person holding this is currently located. If it's in a public place and there are witnesses, the house design will immediately make them realize they're not in the celestial realm. It needs to look lonely and deserted to make their story believable.”Alvin looked at the formation. Then around the room. Indeed, thi

  • too much pressure

    Celestial realm; Jade palaceThe people gathering Intel still can't find Murong Wuque. Worse, Wu-express cargoes often face attacks from bandits because the person they were afraid of was gone.Of course, his people try their best to hold the forte. So far, no bandit has succeeded in stealing from Wu-express. His well trained men, disciples and sworn siblings always keep an eye out. However, there are rumors that the sect master was about to pass a new bill, preventing disciples from leaving the valley to go run errands for their direct masters/ teachers. It's obvious it's targeting Wu-express to prevent Jade palace’s disciples and servants from going to assist members of the Wu-express’s assassin guide while delivering cargoes. Since he disappeared, they kept their hope alive, keeping things running and fulfilling their responsibilities. No one abandoned their posts because he's gone, everyone still worked dutifully. It was not as good as when he was around since some people do n

  • connection from another world

    Alvin went downstairs a few minutes later. He was dressed in casual jeans and shirt rolled to the elbow, and his customized watch adorned his wrist. The house was noisy, as it always was when everyone was at home. Afternoon was the only calm period. He heard the sound of music in the kitchen, and followed it. There, Shi Meng Ying was playing the guitar, while Oliver held the music sheet for her, smitten. “Sis, you could totally be a diva. You should ask my brother Alvin to give you a spot in his company. I'm sure you will smash all competition.” Oliver's words made Shi Meng Ying laugh, the sound deep and full of joy. She looked nothing like the bitter sickly Shi Meng Ying from back then. Her movements have been unrestricted, allowing her to have normal relations like other inhabitants of the villa. Alvin had seen her horse riding with Oliver and Sam a few times through the CCTV feed. Meng Ying truly lived up to her reputation, mastering even the modern instruments in no time.
