Chapter 166: I Will Give You Another Chance
"AGHHH!!"
Inside a luxurious apartment, someone was fighting for his life.
It was Yongzheng, the vice chairman of the board of the company.
His neck was grasped tightly, cutting off his oxygen supply.
The room was filled with the sound of struggling and desperate gasps for air.
Bloodshot eyes bulged with fear as Yongzheng desperately clawed at the attacker's hands, hoping for a chance to break free and survive.
He was trying to escape Chen Tian's grasp, but his efforts were for nothing.
Chen Tian's grip was like a vice, firm and relentless.
It felt as though every fiber of his being was held captive by an iron grasp.
Every attempt to break free only seemed to tighten her hold, sending waves of frustration and desperation coursing through him.
At that moment, he realized the futility of his struggle.
His breathing became labored, his heart pounding in his chest as fear set in.
The realization that he might not make it out alive began to sink in, and he could feel his hope diminishing.
As he stared into Chen Tian's cold, murders eyes, his body trembled with a mix of terror and resignation.
Those cosmic-like eyes that looked directly into his soul seemed to be the windows to a merciless darkness, devoid of any compassion or mercy.
Despair filled his every fiber as he realized the futility of his struggle against such a formidable opponent.
"Hello, Yongzheng, Are you there?"
"Did something happen?"
On the other side of the phone, Yuanjun was filled with panic, and his voice was filled with worry. "Yongzheng, are you playing some kind of joke?"
Chen Tian gazed at the phone on the ground, a sinister smile slowly spreading across his face.
|Crack|
With one step of his foot, he destroyed the phone, the sound of the screen shattering echoing through the room.
Yongzheng's heart sank further as he realized that his only lifeline to help was now gone.
"Kh, p-pleassss" Yongzheng tried to plead for mercy, but the grip on his throat tightened, cutting off his words.
Chen Tian was truly ruthless, and there was no escaping his clutches.
After destroying the phone, Chen Tian gazed at the man in his hand; the man was now gasping for air and struggling to breathe.
Yongzheng vision started to blur as darkness closed in around him.
He felt his strength fading and his body growing weaker by the second.
Panic surged through him as he realized that this might be the end.
'I'm going to die!' He cried out long in his mind as he desperately fought for each breath.
Chen Tian's cold eyes bore into his, devoid of any mercy or remorse. Yongzheng's mind raced, desperately searching for a way out, but it seemed futile.
At that moment, he knew he was at the mercy of a truly heartless predator.
Of course, Yongzheng knew who the man in front of him was, as he had seen him many times with Chen Ying.
Her useless nephew, Chen Tian,
He had many questions in his mind, but Yongzheng couldn't find the strength to speak.
He was going to die!
With a ruthless grip on his neck, Chen Tian threw the man across the room, his body crashing into the wall with a sickening thud.
Blood trickled from the man's mouth as he coughed, trying to catch his breath.
Chen Tian didn't use enough strength to kill the man, but enough to make him suffer. He wanted to leave a lasting impression of fear.
As the man struggled to regain his composure, Chen Tian's cold eyes bore into him.
With a speed that seemed almost inhuman, Chen Tian closed the distance between them in an instant.
He grabbed the man by the collar, pulling him up to his feet with a menacing glare.
The man's fear was palpable, his body trembling under Chen Tian's grip.
"You thought you could escape, didn't you?" he sneered.
"W-Wait Chen Tian, I can explain!' Yongzheng panicked as he stammered, desperately trying to find the right words to appease Chen Tian's wrath.
|Pam|
Chen Tian slapped Yongzheng across the face, his anger boiling over.
The slap was so strong that it turned Yongzheng's cheeks red and stinging, making the blood rush out of his mouth.
"Ughh." He winced in pain as he tasted the metallic tang of his blood.
"Explain? There's nothing you can say that will justify what you did," he growled, his voice filled with anger. "My aunt not only trusted you but also gave you a high position inside the company. And this is how you repay her? With betrayal?"
"Ch-Chen Tian" he stammered, his voice trembling with fear and regret. "I-I never meant to betray her. It was a moment of weakness, a mistake I deeply regret.
Please, give me another chance to make things right." Yongzheng's eyes narrowed, his anger still evident, but a flicker of doubt crossed his face.
He had known Chen Tian for years; that kid wouldn't do anything extreme, and after Chen Tian left, he would get his revenge.
It's too bad for him that the person in front of him didn't care.
"Please give me another chance. I can give you all the names of the people who helped me through this plan," he pleaded.
Chen Tian looked at Yongzheng; with his long years of experience, he could tell that the guy was lying., but so what even if he was telling the truth and wanted to be forgiven.
Would Chen Tian have let him go?
The answer to that question was no!
Chen Tian was betrayed before, just because of the so-called second chance, he had given to someone.
He had learned his lesson the hard way and was not about to make the same mistake again.
"Okay, I will give you another chance," Chen Tian coldly said, his voice dripping with calmness.
Hearing his words, Yongzheng's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.
"Y-Yes, I will do everything you want!!"
'Damn bastard just you wait till I leave this place' Yongzheng thought wickedly in his mind.
He had hopes that Chen Tian would forgive him, but they were quickly extinguished it with Chen Tian next words.
"But in hell, where you belong," Chen Tian said in a cold tone.
Yongzheng's eyes widened in fear, realizing that he was at the mercy of a merciless monster.
"W-Wait, Chen Tian!"
"AHHHH!!!"
Chen Tian grabbed one of Yongzheng's arms and twisted it behind his back, causing him to cry out in pain. With a satisfied smirk,
Chen Tian did the same with the other hand, making sure Yongzheng feel even more excruciating pain.
The sound of bones cracking echoed through the room as Yongzheng's arm snapped under the immense pressure.
Chen Tian's eyes gleamed with sadistic pleasure as he watched Yongzheng writhe in agony, reminding himself that he would never make the same mistake again.
Chen Tian had already surrounded the room with his spiritual Qi so no sounds could escape, ensuring that what he did remained hidden from the outside world.
The room became a chamber of torment, with only the agonized cries of Yongzheng and the sickening sound of bones breaking serving as a testament to the brutality unfolding within.
At the end, a bloody and broken Yongzheng lay on the cold, hard floor, barely recognizable.
"He... He....Me" The bloody figure tried to utter some words, but his voice was weak and barely audible.
Chen Tian looked down at the broken man with a cold, emotionless gaze.
"You brought this upon yourself," he said, his voice filled with a chilling sense of satisfaction.
"Remember this moment, Yongzheng, for it is the consequence of your actions." With that, Chen Tian used his Qi and sealed Yongzheng's mouth.
Then he used his Fire Law and burned Yongzheng's bloody body. Yongzheng wanted to scream as his body burned, but no sound escaped his sealed mouth. The flames engulfed him, consuming his flesh and leaving behind nothing but ash.
Chen Tian didn't stay to watch and left the apartment, heading toward the next target on his list.
That night, three of the most important figures in the Chen Company would disappear from the face of the earth.
It didn't take long for Chen Tian to to arrive at the next target location, and it was easier as the target had just got out of his house in a hurry a suitcase in hand.
The person was none other than Yuanjun, who was with Yongzheng on the phone.
He was clearly running; it looked like he was traveling, as a nervous expression was on his face.
As soon as he got in his car, Yuanjun left his house in a rush, not bothering to lock the door behind him.
Chen Tian followed him discreetly, blending into the bustling city streets.
As they reached a deserted road, Chen Tian didn't want to waste his time.
He made sure that there was no surveillance before he condensed a small golden sword on his finger using Sword Aura.
|Wooshhh|
He swiftly flicked his finger, sending the golden sword soaring through the air towards Yuanjun's car. The sword pierced through the tires, causing the car to swerve to the right and crash into a nearby lamppost.
Chen Tian smirked, satisfied with his handiwork. He quickly used fire law; with a snap of his finger, the car immediately burst into flames.
The blaze grew higher and higher, engulfing the vehicle in a matter of seconds.
Chen Tian watched with a cold, detached expression. Satisfied with his work, he turned and disappeared into the shadows, leaving no trace of his presence behind.
