Chapter 21: The Death of Chen Zhong
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 Ya's life? If Chen Zhong had controlled Xie Han, Qin Jun might have hesitated for a second before taking action.
But Su Ya… Qin Jun wouldn't 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 didn't matter!
Su Ya's face turned pale. Although she had awakened her power, a B-grade ability called Mind Control, she couldn't fully utilize it yet, only influencing people's 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 didn't even ask Qin Jun for help.
Qin Jun smiled, seemingly mocking Chen Zhong's 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, “Chen Zhong, do you think I care more about Su Ya, or do you care more about An Mian?”
Chen Zhong's 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, “Let An Mian go!”
He tightened his grip, causing Su Ya to tremble. Her throat was being choked so tightly that she couldn't breathe, and her face began to turn red.
An Mian screamed, “Qin 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!”
“Is that so?” Qin Jun chuckled, showing no panic. He calmly took a gun from Xie Han.
Bang—!!!
A shot hit An Mian’s knee.
“Aaahhhh—it’s so painful!!”bAn 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 governor’s daughter!!
Chen Zhong’s 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 Ya’s life and directly shoot An Mian, Chen Zhong was both shocked and furious.
“Stop!!!” Chen Zhong roared, seeing the gun in Qin Jun’s hand now pointed at An Mian’s head.
“Chen Zhong, do you think I’ll fire another shot?”
Chen Zhong’s anger reached its peak. He tightened his grip, almost breaking Su Ya’s neck. Su Ya’s 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, “Chen Zhong, don’t worry about me! Qin Jun won’t dare kill me. My father is An Feng!”
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 governor’s 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.
Bang—
Chen Zhong’s 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 wasn’t fortified, and a gunshot wound would still kill him…
An Mian screamed, rushing to Chen Zhong’s side, crying bitterly. She deeply regretted trusting Su Ya, realizing it had led to Chen Zhong’s downfall.
Qin Jun, expressionless, fired several more shots at Chen Zhong’s 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 job…
The Qin family's approach was always to eliminate threats completely, sending entire enemy families to the afterlife, leaving none behind.
An Mian's 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 anticlimactic…
In Qin Jun's ear, the system notification sounded.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for eliminating the protagonist Chen Zhong. Award: 30 villain points.
“Reward Two: System store unlocked.”
“Mission rating: SSS. Additional reward: 15 villain points.”
Hearing the system's 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 hadn't cared about Su Ya's life earlier. Would she now harbor resentment? If she did, then Su Ya couldn't be allowed to live…
Qin Jun wouldn't tolerate a plaything that harbored hatred for him…
