After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Though being ambushed by the Crow's Nest was a bit unlucky, it truly was a blessing in disguise.

His strength is now incomparable to the past.

...

Victory was decided between kings, leaving no suspense among soldiers.

After Su Mo killed Simon, he came out to help the Edge Mercenaries deal with the remaining Crow's Nest Thugs.

The Crow's Nest Thugs were leaderless and faced the powerfully advanced Su Mo, resulting naturally in a one-sided outcome.

Su Mo led the Edge Mercenaries, eliminating the dozen or so Crow's Nest Thugs like a Death God's roll call, declaring the battle over.

It was a complete victory; the Crow's Nest Thugs were annihilated, and though the Edge Mercenaries sustained injuries, with some quite severe, none died, which greatly relieved Su Mo.

Ten minutes later, ambulances arrived on the scene, with doctors attending to the wounded, while the public security patrol from the High-Tech Park also arrived late.

"Mr. Su Mo!" The sheriff captain looked at the blood-covered Su Mo and broke into a cold sweat.

This man is now a favorite of the authorities, mentioned multiple times in meetings by the newly appointed Public Security Bureau Director Sikinkov; the two have close ties.

Su Mo glanced at the sweaty sheriff captain, jokingly saying, "Finally here? A few more minutes later, I would've had to fight a second round."

The sheriff captain was red-faced and stammered, "Really sorry, we... we just got the news... We'll definitely strengthen security management in the future to prevent such things from happening again..."

With Su Mo attacked in his own district, the sheriff captain could only pray for leniency; otherwise, a call to Sikinkov would mean losing his uniform.

Laziness is a common problem for all grassroots sheriffs in New Moon City, a product of the environment. It's not a personal issue, Su Mo didn't bother to argue, knowing it's useless, and motioned him to attend to his own duties.

On site, aside from the sheriff and emergency doctors, there was also an insurance adjuster from Mark Reading Company.

The adjuster was surveying the scene, assessing damage to the Black Ark.

One adjuster, surprised, cautiously asked, "Mr. Su Mo, were you driving it like a bumper car?"

"Ah, well, uhh..." Su Mo was a bit embarrassed, scratching his face, "So, is the damage serious?"

Adjuster: "It's okay, the main structure isn't severely damaged. The windows, lights, engine, and some components are damaged; all covered under warranty. We'll send it back for repairs at no cost."

Su Mo: "How long will the repairs take?"

Adjuster: "You're a VIP guest, entitled to priority expedited service. We'll have it returned to Edge Mansion within a week."

Su Mo: "Alright, thanks."

Adjuster: "No problem, please sign here."

After handling the on-site matters, Su Mo stood and walked towards Dongdong.

Dongdong was truly miserable, with his whole body hacked by the Crow's Nest Thugs at least thirty times, bandaged and wrapped in gauze all over.

However, for a Prosthetic Implanter, these were just minor external injuries.

The biggest advantage of prosthetics over blood code is that anything damaged can be replaced, and once replaced, it's as good as new.

Dongdong's minor injuries could be easily repaired by any prosthetic doctor.

Su Mo: "Dongdong, come here."

Dongdong, hands in pockets, came over lazily, "Boss, what's up?"

Su Mo scolded, "Stand upright, I'm talking serious business with you."

Dongdong froze, "What's wrong?"

Su Mo sternly said, "Listen, your self-destructive behavior today must never happen again after this."

Dongdong waved his hand, pretending to be at ease, "Aww, who's self-destructing? I was just trying to scare them~ it's all an act."

Su Mo reprimanded again, "Don't joke around; be serious, I'm talking about something very serious!"

It was the first time Dongdong had been yelled at by Su Mo; she stood there, feeling both aggrieved and defiant: "Why do you think I did that? It was all for you! I didn't want you to be threatened; was I wrong?!"

Su Mo grabbed Dongdong's shoulder firmly, speaking solemnly: "I'm deeply moved that you are so dedicated for my sake. But remember, you are my companion, and one of the things I hate most is the sacrifice of a companion!"

"Do you think sacrifice is glorious, grand? Yes, some sacrifices are indeed noble. But the essence of sacrifice is the incompetence of the living."

"Because of incompetence, one can only rely on the sacrifice of companions to achieve victory. No matter how grand the sacrifice, it cannot cover up this fact."

He pointed at his own heart, speaking heavily, "If you died today, there'd be no excuse; it would be my incompetence that led to it."

"I don't want to be an incompetent person; I just want to see you well."

"So listen up; next time such a thing happens, leave it to me to handle; don't get impulsive and rush to mutual destruction! No matter when, you have to live well, got it?!"

Dongdong, naturally with a hot temper, was somewhat irritated after being rebuked so directly by Su Mo, retorting angrily, "I get it! Why are you so fierce?!"

She sulked away, squatting behind a tree to sulk alone.

The scene was bustling, chaotic, everyone busy with their own tasks, no one noticed the little tiff here.

Dongdong pouted, her face full of grievance, sitting on the ground, pulling innocent little grass nonstop.

Before long, Su Mo's call came from behind, "Dong."

Dongdong didn't turn around, "What?"

Her waist was poked.

She pushed away Su Mo's hand with her elbow, "Don't poke me, annoying."

Her waist was poked again.

"Oh you! What! Do!" Dongdong puffed up, turning back to see an offered ice cream.

Su Mo, with a gentle smile on his face, held the untouched ice cream they hadn't eaten before, one for himself and the other extended to Dongdong.
