Chapter 52 : Chapter 52
Chapter 52. His Fiancée Wants the Brain-Dead Domineering CEO to Apologize?
Swamp Region.
Jiang Feng furiously flung the dagger from his hand, sweat running down the sharp line of his chiseled jaw.
He had been killing for two hours. A full two hours. And he had not managed to kill a single one.
Panting heavily, Jiang Feng kicked aside the female Ironhide Crocodile on the ground, furious to the extreme.
He hated this feeling of things slipping beyond his control.
“There are only thirty minutes left before the martial exam ends. I can’t keep dragging this out.”
Jiang Feng took out his tracker and opened the rankings.
“What? How did Su Linyu reach first place? And Jiang Yichen is sitting exactly at ten-thousandth?”
Jiang Feng stared at the rankings in disbelief. If he could not kill the monsters, then no one else should have been able to either.
So how had Su Linyu killed monsters and earned points?
Frowning, Jiang Feng clenched his fists. “Man, don’t even think about escaping the palm of my hand.”
He quickly activated the tracker and locked onto Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu’s location.
“The valley region. It’s not far.”
A cold smile curled at Jiang Feng’s lips. “Since monsters can be killed in the valley region, all I have to do is bring in a candidate ranked outside the top ten thousand. Then there’s no way you’ll pass the martial exam.”
“The Jiang family’s position of heir belongs to me. No one is taking it away, and you will remain under my control as well.”
His tone was overbearing as he put on the Jiang family’s fifth-generation Heaven-Shaking Battle Armor and flew at full speed toward Jiang Yichen’s location.
On the way, he even found a candidate ranked outside the top ten thousand, Zhao Qiang, and brought him into the valley region.
After flying for a while, only ten minutes remained before the martial exam ended.
Jiang Feng grabbed the thick-necked Zhao Qiang by the throat. “Before the exam ends, you must break into the top ten thousand. Otherwise, I’ll have your whole family buried with you.”
Zhao Qiang’s expression turned awkward. He knew Young Master Jiang Feng was deliberately threatening him with vicious words. “Young Master Jiang Feng, but the monsters can’t be killed. What am I supposed to do?”
Jiang Feng let out a cold snort and glared at him. “Man, are you questioning me?”
Zhao Qiang hurriedly waved his hands. “No, no, of course not. I’ll go right away.”
Jiang Feng’s eyes remained icy, and he nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned toward the direction indicated by the tracker and flew off in his battle armor.
But all of this was seen clearly by Jiang Yichen.
Perched on the mountaintop, drinking fruit juice and petting Xiao Bai while watching Su Linyu fight, Jiang Yichen looked a little helpless.
“That brain-dead domineering CEO is here to sabotage things again. What a pain.”
“Xiao Bai, go deal with that Zhao Qiang.”
Jiang Yichen rubbed Xiao Bai’s head. Xiao Bai nodded obediently, then vanished from the spot in an instant with the help of the Void Eye.
“Man, what exactly are you doing? Why can’t anyone kill the monsters?”
Wearing a white battle armor, Jiang Feng landed beside him and demanded an answer in a forceful tone.
Jiang Yichen set down his fruit juice and smiled faintly. “Little brother, if the monsters can’t be killed, that’s a matter of your own strength. How can you blame me for it?”
“Not you? Then why is your fiancée able to kill monsters and earn points?” Jiang Feng laughed in anger.
Jiang Yichen was just about to explain when the system’s voice rang out.
【Ding! A Take-It-Easy Choice has been triggered.
Choice One: Give Jiang Feng a detailed explanation and keep making excuses to brush him off. Reward: the title “Mr. Explanation.”
Choice Two: Explain my ass. What do I care what outsiders think? Reward: Low-level Take-It-Easy Gift Pack.】
Jiang Yichen looked at the options in front of him, then glanced sideways at Jiang Feng’s icy eyes, which carried a trace of anger.
“Did I give you permission to look at me?” Jiang Feng said domineeringly. “I’m asking you, was it you on purpose—”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, it was me. Whatever you say.”
Before Jiang Feng could finish speaking, Jiang Yichen had already nodded in agreement.
Jiang Feng frowned slightly and gritted his teeth. “You’re brushing me off?”
“So what if I am? What can you do about it?”
Jiang Yichen shrugged and smiled.
Jiang Feng ground his teeth so hard they nearly cracked, his chest rising and falling. This feeling of slipping out of his control infuriated him.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making a Take-It-Easy Choice. You have received a “Low-level Take-It-Easy Gift Pack.” Open it now?】
Jiang Yichen chose not to open it. He would save it and use it together with a higher-tier gift pack later. If he pulled a Supreme-grade reward, he would make a fortune.
“Brother Yichen, this battle armor is amazing~ Is it made by the Jiang family?”
At that moment, Su Linyu, clad in the Black God Suit, floated before him, revealing a stunningly beautiful and adorable face.
Jiang Yichen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “More or less.”
“That’s impossible. The Jiang family has never produced battle armor like this.” Jiang Feng stared fixedly at the Black God Suit and immediately denied it.
Displeasure flashed through Su Linyu’s eyes. “Little Brother Jiang Feng, how can you question Brother Yichen? Apologize at once.”
“Never!” Jiang Feng snorted coldly.
Su Linyu clenched her fists. “Do you want another beating?”
“You...” Jiang Feng’s face instantly darkened.
Jiang Yichen found it rather amusing. In his previous life, Jiang Feng had originally been in the same class as him. They had both been students in Class One.
But because Jiang Feng wanted to fight for the heir’s position, he had often framed Jiang Yichen and bullied him behind the scenes.
Jiang Yichen had only ignored him because all his attention had been fixed on Lin Wan, and he had not had the time to bother with Jiang Feng.
But Su Linyu could not stand it. Relying on her superior strength, she had secretly taught Jiang Feng a lesson several times.
In the end, Jiang Feng transferred classes in his sophomore year.
“Brother Yichen, don’t worry. I absolutely won’t let him bully you again.” Su Linyu puffed out her cheeks and prepared to hit him.
Jiang Feng’s expression changed at once. He remembered how, back in freshman year, he had locked Jiang Yichen in the bathroom and smeared red ink on his chair to humiliate him.
But after school, Su Linyu had cornered him in a deserted spot and beaten him up. The worst part was that he had not been able to beat her.
“Hurry up and apologize to Brother Yichen, or you’re going to suffer a little physically.”
Hearing Su Linyu’s sweet but threatening voice, Jiang Feng regretted coming here at all.
“Man, all you do is hide behind a woman? Fight me one-on-one if you’ve got the guts!”
Jiang Yichen lifted a brow. “You can’t even beat my woman. What gives you the right to fight me?”
The moment those words left his mouth, Su Linyu froze, and a sweet smile spread across her lips.
Oh my god! Brother Yichen said I’m his woman! Good heavens, that’s so overbearing, so possessive—I love it!
Su Linyu lifted her chin proudly and grabbed Jiang Feng by the collar. “Are you apologizing or not?”
Jiang Feng could not force himself to lower his pride. He hesitated for a long while before stiffly spitting out three blurred words.
“S-Sorry!”
Hearing that, Jiang Yichen stood up and patted Jiang Feng on the head. “Good boy. Why would your big brother blame his little brother?”
Humiliation. Utter humiliation.
Jiang Feng’s face flushed crimson with rage, veins bulging along his arms, yet he could not force out a single word.
Su Linyu released him as well. “Brother Yichen, I left you a lot of badly wounded monsters. Go kill them.”
Jiang Yichen shook his head and opened the rankings. “No need. I’ve already passed. Whether I kill more or less won’t make any difference.”
Su Linyu glanced at it, and her eyes immediately lit up.
There was only one minute left before the martial exam ended, and Brother Yichen was still ranked exactly ten-thousandth. That was wonderful!
“Wow! Brother Yichen, don’t tell me you deliberately controlled your rank to stay at exactly ten-thousandth. Brother Yichen, you’re amazing~” Su Linyu looked at him with a face full of admiration.
Jiang Yichen nodded without denying it.
But Jiang Feng was stunned.
He had deliberately controlled his rank to remain at exactly ten-thousandth?
Jiang Feng looked at Su Linyu’s black-and-red battle armor. Just looking at it, he could feel how terrifying it was.
If Jiang Yichen had piloted that battle armor, getting into the top ten thousand would have been absurdly easy.
Jiang Yichen had been controlling his ranking all along. Why would he do that?
Was he deliberately going easy on me? Do I need him to hold back for me?
Bastard!
Jiang Feng finally snapped.
