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.”

  • joys of friendship

    The person feeling the worst was Murong Wuque. His hands remained awkwardly by his side. Then there was Chu Feng who stood silently, watching them with a mixture of pain, jealousy and heartache. Murong Wuque sighed and wrapped his arm around her, patting her back to console her. Their compromising situation, with her chest rubbing against his due to how tight she was hugging him was the least of her problems. She didn't even notice their proximity or feel turned on, even though she had been dying to hold him like that. But all she felt was pain and fear. “I was so afraid. I… I..” She began to cry again, loudly sobbing and hiccuping, her face buried in his chest. “Silly child. You're such a big baby, aren't I alright? Nothing will happen.” He whispered and kissed her hair, tucking a stray strand behind her ear. She soon quieted down under his soft whispers, and reassurances, only sobbing softly instead of her loud cries. Xi Meng Yao walked in at that moment and saw them; her

  • YOU TOUCHED MANY LIVES

    There was another girl standing by the entrance of his quarters, but she did not enter because she's not part of Jade palace. But the guards let her in because they recognized her as one of the people who often receives teachings from Murong Wuque. She was Xia He, the one who got the treasured crystal Murong Wuque, his friends, and Alvin brought back from the quest. She stood by the door, not leaving, not entering as she watched the building in the distance. Other disciples were equally outside Jade palace, but the guards were not letting anyone else enter. After a while, they began to disperse, deciding to come back later in the evening. Meanwhile, the elders council were having another meeting. ***** Murong Wuque’s room, bathing chambers. “Eww! These clothes are basically ruined.” Xiao Wei muttered. Murong Wuque smiled. “Just trash them when I pull it off. They have jinxed it. And it's one of my favorite clothes.” “My blood is precious though, burn it immediately, don'

  • Making of a legendary king

    Murong Wuque chuckled and looked at the elder. “I won't hand them over. If I don't find the treasures and you want to break my legs, go ahead. I will also step down and make way for another person.” When he said another person, he turned to look at Yuwen Ruohan. Many people caught the meaning and immediately sneered. “You better remember the words you just said.” “You may leave.” Elder Wen added. A huge cheer went out in the crowd. Hundreds of people were chanting his name. “First brother, we love you!” “With or without the title, you're our only First brother.” “First brother, you are always our only first brother.” “Other people are not worthy. Those that want to hurt you should look in the mirror and see the face of a loser.” “We don't need the title. You're the only First brother we acknowledge.” “Only Murong Wuque is our first brother.” “First brother, we love you.” Murong Wuque looked at the elders, making sure they and the people over there saw his face. Th

  • PROVING A POINT

    “No, look closely. The name there is Murong Min Ren. Murong Wuque’s grandfather.” “Jeez. He's one of the top four immortal emperors in the world. And Murong Wuque is his favorite grandson.” “Wherever the imperial pardon decree appears, all beings must accept and lower their heads. They have no other option than to submit. Otherwise, they would be disrespecting an immortal emperor.” “Even if they want to continue, do they have the ability? All of us are on our knees, how can they continue to beat him?” “That pressure! So this is the power of an immortal emperor.” “But where is he? I can't see him.” “He's not here, only his seal.” “Only the seal! A mere seal can have this kind of power? I can't even move my fingers. Doesn't it mean that if he's here in person, everyone will collapse and die.” “Crap, and the elders’ council dared to offend such a person. If he flies into a rage, he will flatten the entire medicine sage valley.” “It seems First brother’s vitality has been severe

  • RUTHLESS BEYOND WORDS

    Everyone held their breath, but he didn't flinch or cry out. He knelt there like a block of stone, with no reaction whatsoever. The third, then fourth. His back was filled by red welts which were quickly swelling up. By the tenth strike, his skin burst open and blood splattered on both the platform, the guard, and vine, dripping down to his white silk trousers. People screamed simultaneously the moment the blood splattered. It fell again and on the raw flesh, this time smoke began to come out of his body, and his breath caught in his throat, “Oh my god! The poison has made contact with raw flesh. It is burning him up.” The lash fell again, and again, and again. All Murong Wuque did was open his mouth and take huge gulps of air. Twentieth strike, he was still kneeling, his back ramrod straight. More smoke had covered the surface of his back, and his skin had begun to change color from the poison. Fiftieth strike, he finally trembled and spat out blood. People screamed again

  • MEANING OF WICKEDNESS

    “Yuwen Ruohan. What do you mean by that?” Murong Wuque snapped, his eyes spitting fire. “Don't talk to me with that kind of gaze. Kneeling on this platform, you're only a lowly criminal. What gives you the right to be arrogant here?” “There has never been a case of being stripped naked. Why should it start with me?” Yuwen Ruohan chuckled. “Because you're Murong Wuque. Who is to say you're not wearing a treasure that would absorb the shock and poison beneath your robe? In that case, won't it be a waste of the guard's efforts and a gross deception of the sect.” “You!” Murong Wuque snapped, his eyes red with fury. “Am I the kind of person that deceives others? Why will I come here with the intention to prevent the punishment? Besides, before coming here, did I know what kind of punishment the elders wanted to give? What time do I have to prepare such things even if they exist? You, you're just trying to humiliate me.” Murong Wuque's voice was angry, and he wasn't the only one.
