Chapter 21: The Death of Chen Zhong
Qin Jun looked at Chen Zhong mockingly, finding the situation both ridiculous and laughable.
Chen Zhong actually thought he could threaten him with Su Yaâs life? If Chen Zhong had controlled Xie Han, Qin Jun might have hesitated for a second before taking action.
But Su Ya⊠Qin Jun wouldnât hesitate for even a second! Sure, Qin Jun had some respect for Su Ya and saw her as a valuable plaything.
But no matter how valuable, a plaything was still just a plaything! In the face of the SSS-grade talent seed, Qin Jun had no scruples.
If Su Ya died, so be it. It didnât matter!
Su Yaâs face turned pale. Although she had awakened her power, a B-grade ability called Mind Control, she couldnât fully utilize it yet, only influencing peopleâs emotions at most.
F-grade talents had the advantage of immediate combat readiness, even if it lasted only three days.
Feeling the killing intent from Chen Zhong behind her, Su Ya knew that given the chance, Chen Zhong would snap her neck without hesitation!
Yet, Su Ya said nothing, as if her life was not in danger. She didnât even ask Qin Jun for help.
Qin Jun smiled, seemingly mocking Chen Zhongâs overestimation of his own capabilities and wishful thinking.
His smile made Chen Zhong feel uneasy.
Qin Jun grabbed An Mian, smiling at Chen Zhong as he said, âChen Zhong, do you think I care more about Su Ya, or do you care more about An Mian?â
Chen Zhongâs face darkened immediately and realized he had made a severe mistake. Would someone like Qin Jun really care about the lives of those around him?
Chen Zhong gritted his teeth and said, âLet An Mian go!â
He tightened his grip, causing Su Ya to tremble. Her throat was being choked so tightly that she couldnât breathe, and her face began to turn red.
An Mian screamed, âQin Jun, let us go, or my father will never forgive you! My father is the governor of Jiangjing. He can have you all arrested with just one word!â
âIs that so?â Qin Jun chuckled, showing no panic. He calmly took a gun from Xie Han.
Bangâ!!!
A shot hit An Mianâs knee.
âAaahhhhâitâs so painful!!âbAn Mian screamed in agony, the intense pain nearly causing her to faint.
An Mian had been pampered all her life, with doctors tending to even minor cuts. She never imagined she would get shot!
Blood flowed freely as An Mian cried in pain, her face pale with disbelief that Qin Jun had actually shot her! She was the governorâs daughter!!
Chen Zhongâs eyes widened with anguish. Despite his earlier resentment towards An Mian for not telling him the truth and leading Qin Jun here, he still deeply loved her.
Seeing Qin Jun completely disregard Su Yaâs life and directly shoot An Mian, Chen Zhong was both shocked and furious.
âStop!!!â Chen Zhong roared, seeing the gun in Qin Junâs hand now pointed at An Mianâs head.
âChen Zhong, do you think Iâll fire another shot?â
Chen Zhongâs anger reached its peak. He tightened his grip, almost breaking Su Yaâs neck. Su Yaâs face turned purple, her eyes rolling back as she neared suffocation!
But Chen Zhong suddenly released his grip. Su Ya collapsed to the ground, coughing violently, having narrowly escaped death.
Chen Zhong stood there, stunned, his face extremely grim and tinged with a sense of defeat. This time, he had lost completely and had lost everything!
An Mian cried, âChen Zhong, donât worry about me! Qin Jun wonât dare kill me. My father is An Feng!â
Qin Jun, hearing this, looked at An Mian with surprise. Her stupidity was beyond his imagination.
In the apocalypse, a nouveau riche family like the An family, which had risen in just a few decades, would soon be insignificant.
Jiangjing was about to fall, and An Feng would perish with it. To Qin Jun, An Mian, the governorâs daughter, was no different from an ant, easily disposable.
Just as Chen Zhong was about to say something, his expression changed drastically, and he screamed in pain.
He was suddenly suppressed by an invisible force, dropping to his knees uncontrollably. Qin Jun then raised his gun and shot Chen Zhong in the heart.
Bangâ
Chen Zhongâs face showed disbelief. He looked down at the gunshot wound in his chest, blood pouring out, his remaining consciousness filled with incredulity.
He was going to die? After just one day of rebirth, he was going to die? Even though he had awakened an F-grade strength enhancement, his heart wasnât fortified, and a gunshot wound would still kill himâŠ
An Mian screamed, rushing to Chen Zhongâs side, crying bitterly. She deeply regretted trusting Su Ya, realizing it had led to Chen Zhongâs downfall.
Qin Jun, expressionless, fired several more shots at Chen Zhongâs head, completely destroying it, ensuring he was dead beyond any doubt.
Qin Jun had been taught from a young age to leave no loose ends. Always finish the jobâŠ
The Qin familyâs approach was always to eliminate threats completely, sending entire enemy families to the afterlife, leaving none behind.
An Mianâs face twisted with hatred, glaring at Qin Jun with a look that could kill. She was about to say something, but Qin Jun, still expressionless, fired another shot and sent An Mian to her death too.
In just a few seconds, Chen Zhong and An Mian were both executed by Qin Jun without hesitation or wasted words.
Chen Zhong, the protagonist, was dead. He died unremarkably, not in a dramatic showdown. It was almost anticlimacticâŠ
In Qin Junâs ear, the system notification sounded.
âDing, congratulations to the host for eliminating the protagonist Chen Zhong. Award: 30 villain points.
âReward Two: System store unlocked.â
âMission rating: SSS. Additional reward: 15 villain points.â
Hearing the systemâs rating, Qin Jun smiled, satisfied that his efforts had paid off. Qin Jun looked at the glowing fruit, feeling a surge of excitement.
The SSS-grade talent seed was his! But before that, there was one more thing to do and he turned to look at Su Ya, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
He hadnât cared about Su Yaâs life earlier. Would she now harbor resentment? If she did, then Su Ya couldnât be allowed to liveâŠ
Qin Jun wouldnât tolerate a plaything that harbored hatred for himâŠ
