Chapter 5 – Hidden Plotline is Actually a Romantic Comedy (12)
==============================
[Ding! Little Shiyuan’s Charm Level has increased to 25%.]
[You have gained 200 Luck Points, totaling 220 Luck Points.
Your current Luck Level has increased to Level 3.]
“That… System, I have a question. Once the Charm Level hits one hundred percent, will it ever decrease?”
[No, once the Charm Level reaches 100%, the value will be locked and won’t change.]
Great! That means once the Charm Level is maxed out, she won’t need to exhaust herself maintaining any kind of affection level.
Which meant this Little Shiyuan must have some innate desire to be protected. As long as she showed her feminine side and gave him just a little hint of care through her icy exterior, the affection level would skyrocket.
Of course, that was just her theory, and it would depend on how things went.
“I think he talks too much. What do you guys think?”
Lin Nan didn’t even glance at the already dead boss, her cold and ruthless gaze slowly sweeping over the members of the Giant Wave Gang.
“This person was clearly forced here. To think that the mighty Giant Wave Gang would dare to commit such heinous acts in public. If the boss of the Giant Wave Gang were here, I’m sure he would make the same decision.
I’m merely punishing criminals on behalf of the Giant Wave Gang.
Of course, if you think he died unjustly, you can discuss it with me. But sometimes I can’t control my strength well, so if I accidentally hurt you all, don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand.”
With the boss dead, the remaining members were already disheartened.
They hadn’t expected the Woman in Red to meddle and take such a risk, defying the Giant Wave Gang and killing the boss in one move.
As a result, the entire scene fell silent,
and some even speculated that “Sister Hong Chen” was actually a cold-blooded female assassin, completely devoid of hesitation when it came to killing.
No matter what others thought,
Lin Nan had achieved her goal of controlling the situation.
The remaining members of the Giant Wave Gang didn’t dare to oppose Lin Nan. They loosened their grip on the Little Recipient, hoping this matter would be resolved quickly.
They would report the d*ath of the boss to the Giant Wave Gang’s regional headquarters and await further instructions.
However, one thing was for certain: the Giant Wave Gang wouldn’t let someone who dared to provoke them go unpunished.
This woman… hah… let her have her moment of glory. There’s a reckoning coming later.
Just as they were about to retreat, a voice suddenly interrupted, “Did I say you could leave?”
Whaaat? Everyone was baffled.
This woman… What else is she going to do?
Lin Nan flicked her finger, beckoning the recently saved Little Shiyuan, who was still in a daze, closer.
“Who left these marks on his face? These here, here, and here…”
Lin Nan pointed out eight wounds on the Little Recipient’s body.
“An eye for an eye. If you each slap yourselves ten times, I’ll let you leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unfriendly.”
The members of the Giant Wave Gang were shocked.
What the hell is this maneuver?
She’s like a protective mother wolf?
d*mn it, giving back the boy should’ve been enough, but this woman kept pushing her luck, not paying any attention to the Giant Wave Gang’s reputation.
But when they saw their boss lying motionless on the ground, their spirits sank again.
There was no doubt that this crazy woman would not hesitate to act if they didn’t follow her orders.
The onlookers would just spectate, just like no one stood up for the boy earlier, they wouldn’t care much now either, instead cheering for their downfall and using it as gossip fodder in the future.
The Little Recipient muttered, “It’s fine. Really, Sister Hong Chen. I’m safe now…”
He didn’t want to make things worse since he had already escaped danger. “Sister Hong Chen” had already killed one person and now wanted to humiliate the entire Giant Wave Gang.
If the Giant Wave Gang came after her later, she might face even greater danger.
Lin Nan paid no heed to the Little Recipient’s words as her gleaming sword blocked the way for the Gang members.
“I just want you to understand that no one in this world should be bullied. If you do it, you’d better be prepared to face the consequences.”
“Shing!”
Lin Nan sliced off the weapon of someone trying to resist and placed the sword’s edge against his neck.
“Either listen to me or d*e!”
Her icy words were like a dagger, penetrating his very core, bringing such intense pain that he dared not disobey.
“Slap-slap-slap…”
He slapped himself ten times, and only then did the sword tip slowly retreat.
Under Lin Nan’s cold gaze, the remaining members began punishing themselves.
For a while, the sound of slapping echoed loudly among the crowd.
The spectators were shocked and deeply impressed.
No one had expected the situation to escalate to this point.
The renowned Giant Wave Gang had been left humiliated by the newly rising Sister Red in such a memorable fashion, leaving a deep mark in everyone’s hearts.
[High Cold Value from Villager A +5]
[High Cold Value from Villager B +6]
[High Cold Value from Villager C +4]
…
[High Cold Value from River Sand Gang x*x*x +88]
[High Cold Value from Kongtong Sect x*x*x +78]
…
[High Cold Value from Lingnan Sword Demon +101]
[High Cold Value from Mu Zhi +99]
…
[Your current High Cold Value is 20,034 points.]
The attention Little Shiyuan had received in his entire life didn’t seem to match up to what he received from Sister Red in this single moment.
This feeling of safety when around her was something he had longed for his entire life.
Was that increasingly graceful and radiant red figure amidst the crowd really a Fairy sent by heaven to save him?
[Ding! Little Shiyuan’s Charm Level has increased to 55%.]
[You have gained 400 Luck Points, totaling 620 Luck Points.
Your current Luck Level has increased to Level 4.]
…
Having slapped themselves, the members of the Giant Wave Gang’s cheeks were swollen.
Only after Lin Nan gave her approval did they dare to pick up their boss’s corpse and hastily retreat from the scene.
Even after dozens of minutes had passed, the onlookers were reluctant to leave, still anticipating a dramatic scene they could talk about for years.
At that moment, Lin Nan sheathed her sword,
and without sparing the Little Recipient a glance, walked away toward the outskirts of Lehua Town.
The Little Recipient, prepared with heartfelt thank-you words, was surprised to see SisterRed just walking away, seemingly not giving him a second thought.
This left the Little Recipient dumbfounded,
He thought that “Sister Hong Chen” had feelings for him, which was why she had gone to such lengths and helped him relieve some grievances.
But with this current situation…
Could it be he had just imagined it?
