Chương 23: Chapter 23: A Chance to Kill Qin Xian?
"Our news: At 4:00 p.m. today, an emergency occurred at Yaoshan Market in the heart of Donghai City.
A level 52 Void Believer has been hiding in Donghai City for years. The Imperial Police Department, the Constitutional Order Department, and our Donghai City Police Department jointly enforced the law, and after a fierce battle, they killed the Void Believer.
Despite evacuation efforts, this sudden conflict resulted in heavy casualties, with many innocent lives lost or injured.
Governor Chen Beiguo issued an urgent directive calling for the immediate activation of emergency protocols. Relevant departments were instructed to organize search and rescue operations, properly manage the aftermath, quickly identify the root cause, and provide support and care for the families of the victims...".
The Donghai City television station rebroadcast the news. Tonight, Donghai City was anything but peaceful.
As the capital of Donghai Province and a major economic hub of the Empire, Donghai City had always been known for its development and security. But the chaos that erupted in the city center today would undoubtedly shock the entire country.
Although Chen Beiguo was deeply displeased with Qin Xian, he had no choice but to publicly admit that Lin Yu was a Void Believer. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the incident.
Even so, Chen Beiguo's reputation as the governor of Donghai had been severely damaged...
Lin Feng returned home.
After Qin Xian killed Lin Yu, he looted all of Lin Yu's equipment, leaving only a cold, lifeless body behind.
Lin Yu's remains were properly treated and buried in a suburban cemetery. According to official regulations, Void Believers aren't entitled to burial rights, but with Chen Lingxi's help, the process was given the green light and was completed in just a few hours.
Chen Lingxi watched Lin Feng's plight with great concern. The college entrance exam was the next day, and in his current state, it seemed unlikely that he would score well.
"Lin Feng," Chen Lingxi said gently, "try not to dwell on it. Focus on preparing for the college entrance exam tomorrow."
Lin Feng snapped out of his daze at her words and nodded slightly. "Thank you, Teacher Chen. It's getting late - you should go home."
Chen Lingxi nodded and left. As the teacher of No. 1 Middle School, she had responsibilities beyond just Lin Feng; she also had to prepare for the big day.
After Chen Lingxi left, Lin Feng was left alone in his house.
Never before had he felt so isolated.
Sitting motionless in a chair, Lin Feng stared blankly ahead, as if he had turned to stone.
The world seemed vast now, but he was completely alone.
The clock struck midnight, marking the beginning of a new day for the college entrance exam.
"Qin Xian..." Lin Feng whispered, his voice filled with resentment and hatred.
He had never harbored such deep hatred for anyone before.
Killing Qin Xian wasn't enough. Lin Feng wanted to torture him, to make him feel the most excruciating pain imaginable.
However, he knew how powerless he was. At only level 4, he was nothing more than an insect compared to Qin Xian. Revenge was impossible for now.
His only hope was to be accepted into Jixia Academy, where he would be protected. There, he could grow stronger and eventually embark on a journey to the Void to find the Emperor... a path his adoptive father Lin Yu had once dreamed of following.
Lin Feng held the secret source, its strange purple light reflecting off his face, giving him an eerie appearance.
A glimmer of madness crossed Lin Feng's eyes.
"A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years?"
No!
For him, every second felt like agony.
He knew that Qin Xian would not let him grow in peace. The Qin family's ultimate goal was the secret source, and that secret source was in Lin Feng's possession.
Qin Xian would come for it.
But that also meant... possessing the secret source might give Lin Feng a chance.
The riot in Donghai City had attracted a lot of attention. But for the parents of the high school seniors, their focus was solely on the college entrance exam. Today's exam would determine the fate of their children's future.
In Donghai City, a large crowd gathered at the Apocalypse Temple - students who had come to take the college entrance exam.
The test site was set up inside the temple itself. Candidates would participate in a specially designed dungeon selection, and the system would assign them a score based on their performance.
Universities would later combine these scores with their specific evaluations to determine each student's final score.
"Such an impressive sight..." Qin Xian remarked as he stood by the large French windows of a tall building, gazing down at the magnificent scene surrounding the Apocalypse Temple. He was wearing a bathrobe, looking relaxed and lazy.
Next to him, Su Keqing was preparing his clothes, looking very dutiful.
Su Keqing had gradually transitioned from her initial resistance, to compliance, to her current state of acceptance. She had come to see herself as Qin Xian's wife.
Her life had changed dramatically since she had become involved with Qin Xian. People and things that had once seemed untouchable to her had now become commonplace.
Jiang Song, the once untouchable CEO of Jia Shi Interactive Entertainment, now treated her with the utmost respect, even going so far as to transfer 15% of the company's shares to her. Overnight, Su Keqing became a billionaire and one of Jia Shi's major shareholders.
At first, she didn't want to accept the shares for fear that it would cause problems for Qin Xian. But he had insisted. For Qin Xian, 15% of Jia Shi's shares were insignificant and nothing to worry about.
Even Yu Xun, the chairman of the parliament, who had recently visited Qin Xian, had treated her with real politeness - not the false politeness she was used to, but real respect.
At that moment, Qiu Bo entered the room and greeted Su Keqing with a smile. "Miss Su."
Su Keqing took the cue and said quietly, "I'll go prepare breakfast." She understood that Qin Xian was about to do something important. But she never asked. She knew her role - just a toy in Qin Xian's world - and the less she knew, the better.
"Is everything ready?" Qin Xian asked.
"Yes, Master," Qiu Bo replied, "The families have been notified."
Qin Xian nodded and sighed.
"It seems that many people will die today..."
