Tsundere Campus Goddess and Rogue Master

Chapter 26



C26 – Your Luck Isn’t Good

Within the paper mill located in the northern part of Eastern City, a soft illumination emanated from the ceiling, casting a lengthy silhouette of a person upon the ground.

Surrounding the paper mill, fewer than ten bodyguards conducted their patrols. In the midst of the mill, an area exuded steam and commotion.

Positioned before a table, Chen Jie sat, atop which rested a simmering hot pot with tantalizingly sizzling meat.

“Young Master Chen, do you genuinely believe that Wang Xiao will make an appearance?”

Seated across from Chen Jie, the bald gentleman inquired while tossing vegetables into the bubbling hot pot.

“Hehe, without a doubt, he’ll come. Tong Waner is his betrothed; he won’t abandon her,” Chen Jie replied confidently.

A cold smirk crept onto Chen Jie’s face as he heard this. He picked up a slice of beef with his chopsticks, dipped it into the savory broth, and savored it as he spoke, “Back at the KTV last time, I lost face in front of my high school buddies. This time, I absolutely can’t let him get away with it!”

Recalling the humiliation he endured at the karaoke, Chen Jie’s body seemed ready to explode with anger, his pores tingling.

“Young Master Chen, according to Chief Chen, once we’ve captured this girl, you’ll take her in. We’ll handle the documentation and use it to pressure Tong Shan. Why don’t we just…”

At that moment, the bald man gestured toward the unconscious Tong Waner on the sofa, seeking clarification from Chen Jie.

Having followed Chen Peng for many years, the bald man was accustomed to swift and decisive actions, disliking prolonged affairs. He believed that lingering only led to more complications.

However, Chen Peng’s son, Chen Jie, acted recklessly and impulsively, prioritizing his personal interests and fearing that any delay would lead to negative consequences.

Before the bald man could complete his thought, Chen Jie waved his hand, interrupting him.

“Fucking this bitch just like that. It will be hard for me to vent the hatred in my heart. I wanna fuck this bitch right in front of Wang Xiao when he arrives!”

Chen Jie’s eyes were cold, and a cruel smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

“But…”

The bald individual believed it was inappropriate to prolong the situation, so he couldn’t resist voicing his concern.

“Don’t fret, Uncle Baldie,” Chen Jie interjected, “Aren’t we still a formidable team? Wang Xiao is just one person. Can he really stand up to all of us?”

Hearing this, the bald man fell into silence. The individuals they had brought along today were all skilled experts meticulously groomed by the Chen Group. They had received specialized training under Chen Peng to handle Tong Shan. However, today, they were accompanying Chen Jie.

Seeing Chen Jie’s confidence, the bald individual refrained from further comment.

Another hour elapsed, and Chen Jie’s hotpot was nearly finished. Wang Xiao had yet to make an appearance, and Chen Jie was starting to feel restless.

“Why hasn’t Wang Xiao shown up yet? Could it be that he’s too afraid?”

Chen Jie’s countenance darkened as he spoke in a low tone.

“Young Master Chen, have you noticed that our group seems to be missing a few members?”

At that precise moment, the bald man approached Chen Jie with a grave expression and spoke in hushed tones.

Initially, Chen Jie had assigned ten bodyguards to patrol the surroundings of the paper mill. Upon hearing the bald man’s words, he quickly turned to inspect the situation.

As expected, only five bodyguards remained within the paper mill. The other five, who had gone out to patrol, had not returned.

“How could this have happened? Where could those five individuals have gone?”

Chen Jie’s expression shifted slightly as he spoke with a deep sense of concern.

If the five bodyguards outside had met with harm, there should have been some commotion.

The five bodyguards from the Chen Family, who were stationed inside, also grew tense. They sensed that something was amiss and moved closer to Chen Jie, as if their intention was to safeguard him.

Swoosh!

Right at this moment, a sharp cold light suddenly appeared in the air and rushed towards one of the Chen Family’s bodyguards.

Puff!

As the chilling luminescence coursed through his body, the Chen Family’s protector slumped forward, his eyes widened, and his mouth agape. He wore the visage of one who had met his end in unending remorse.

The four other guards belonging to the Chen Family stood aghast at this tableau, rushing forward to investigate. The sight of silver needles embedded in the fallen guard’s form contorted their expressions into grimaces.

“Young Master Chen, he succumbed to a fatal silver needle assault,” uttered one of the Chen Family’s protectors, anxiety coloring his voice.

A nervous Chen Family guard addressed Chen Jie, saying, “He’s…he’s gone, stabbed by a silver needle.”

“Dead? By a silver needle?” Chen Jie’s countenance shifted abruptly upon witnessing the dire state of the fallen Chen Family protector.

Confronted with the pitiable demise of their comrade, Chen Jie spoke in a panicked tone.

“Could it be that Wang Xiao has come?”

The bald man’s facial expression changed as he said in a deep voice.

“He has come?”

Chen Jie’s expression tensed when he heard this and spoke in a deep voice.

The remaining four bodyguards stood in a triangle formation when they heard this. They protected Chen Jie as they vigilantly looked at their surroundings.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right at this moment, another three sharp cold lights flew out and rushed towards the three Chen Family bodyguards from different directions.

This time, the three Chen Family’s bodyguards saw the trail of the cold lights, but they couldn’t dodge because Chen Jie was right behind them. They could only use their arms to block in front of them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, the moment these three silver needles hit the three bodyguards’ arms, they pierced through their arms and pierced their hearts.

“Eh…”

The trio of bodyguards employed by the Chen Family involuntarily let out simultaneous cries of shock. Their eyes widened, and their faces drained of color. Their pupils dilated rapidly, and they succumbed, lifeless, collapsing to the ground.

Witnessing this horrifying sight, Chen Jie, the bald man, and the sole remaining bodyguard of the Chen Family were instantly seized by fear.

“Ah, they are all dead, all dead!”

The last surviving Chen Family bodyguard, upon beholding his four fallen comrades, experienced a chilling pallor and a sense of panic.

Moreover, he found himself in complete disarray, uncertain about the attackers’ methods, the nature of their dread of death, and overwhelmed by the ensuing terror. His resolve shattered, and he abandoned his duty to protect Chen Jie. Instead, he turned tail and desperately sought an escape route from the paper mill.

“Where do you think you’re going? Get back here!”

Witnessing the Chen Family bodyguards deserting him to save themselves, Chen Jie’s countenance darkened, and he let loose a stream of curses.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, an icy, piercing beam materialized out of thin air and streaked towards the Chen Family’s bodyguard. Within moments, it had traversed his body, leaving him lifeless on the ground.

As the last of the Chen Family’s bodyguards met his demise, Chen Jie and the Bald Man’s countenances grew chilly. Chen Jie was visibly perturbed, while the Bald Man stood in stunned disbelief. The extraordinary strength of Wang Xiao had taken them by surprise.

“Wang Xiao, if you possess any semblance of bravery, reveal yourself now. What kind of hero hides in the shadows?”

Chen Jie’s patience wore thin. His expression darkened as he bellowed toward the paper mill.

His voice resonated powerfully throughout the vast paper mill, its volume both deafening and lingering.

Tap, tap, tap…

At that very moment, faint footsteps echoed from beyond the paper factory’s confines. The sounds were subdued but distinctly audible.

Entering from the outside, a Handsome Man dressed casually moved with deliberate strides. His countenance remained impassive, while his sharp eyes bore into Chen Jie and the Bald Man with an icy intensity.

Confronted by such a piercing gaze, Chen Jie and the Bald Man experienced an unsettling chill creeping down their spines, causing their hair to stand on end.

“You abducted my wife and coerced me into this situation. What manner of hero are you?”

Wang Xiao’s tone was calm as he slowly spoke.

“Wang Xiao, it really is you!”

A cruel smile emerged on Chen Jie’s face when he saw Wang Xiao.

If Wang Xiao had remained concealed in the shadows, Chen Jie might have felt a slight unease. However, now that Wang Xiao had revealed himself, Chen Jie had devised a plan to eliminate him!

“I despise those who exploit my loved ones to manipulate me. You’ve crossed a line by involving my woman and my brother!”

Wang Xiao regarded Chen Jie with an icy demeanor and spoke in a solemn tone.

“Hmph, what difference does it make if I’ve crossed your line? Do you genuinely believe you can escape unscathed today?”

Chen Jie responded with a scornful laugh upon hearing Wang Xiao’s words.

While speaking, he snapped his fingers, causing numerous machete-wielding individuals to emerge swiftly from the darkness surrounding the paper mill.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xiao found himself entirely encircled.

These machete-bearers exuded an intimidating aura, their keen eyes and determined expressions revealing their expertise in wielding such weapons. The calluses on their right hands bore witness to their mastery.

“Wang Xiao, these blade-wielding men are Chen Group’s secret weapons, carefully nurtured over three years. Originally intended for dealing with Tong Shan, you happen to be the first on their list.”

Standing beside Chen Jie, the bald man cast a frigid glance at Wang Xiao, his eyes brimming with a murderous aura.

“Oh? Is that the case? I can’t help but wonder if fortune isn’t favoring you tonight. You’ve worked diligently to raise a Blade Master, yet it seems all of you will meet your end at my hands tonight,” Wang Xiao remarked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao wore a faint smile as he responded.

“Hmph, Wang Xiao, no matter how formidable you may be, you’re still just one individual. We’ve got nearly thirty swordsmen here, each a skilled combatant capable of taking on ten of us. Aren’t you concerned that your boasts might leave you tongue-tied?”

The bald man, filled with disdain, retorted upon hearing Wang Xiao’s words. He couldn’t fathom Wang Xiao having the strength to confront thirty swordsmen simultaneously.

“Wang Xiao, rest assured. I won’t end your life immediately. Instead, I’ll have them sever your limbs, leaving you with half a life. You’ll bear witness to how I claim Tong Waner.”

Chen Jie declared mischievously, his eyes filled with envy as he glanced at the unconscious Tong Waner on the sofa.

Wang Xiao responded with a sinister smile, saying, “Excellent, excellent!” However, it was apparent to everyone that his smile concealed a burning desire for vengeance.

Chen Jie had successfully provoked him beyond measure!

Tonight, whether it was Chen Jie or the Chen Group, their existence would become unnecessary.
