Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

P.S.: In the last chapter, some people complained about why we had to take a plane back instead of flying. My premise was that Linhai is over a thousand kilometers from Luzhou, so flying back was a bit unrealistic. But then I thought, who cares about logic? As long as it's fun! So I changed it.

......

A cold wave hit in winter, causing a sharp drop in temperature and a heavy rain in Linhai City.

The streets were almost deserted in the evening.

Shangze Ying stayed at Tang Rou's house waiting for news. She stood by the window as the torrential rain blurred the view outside.

Suddenly, Uesawa Sakura saw a figure appear on the street.

The man was wearing a suit, with white gloves on his hands, holding a black umbrella. His leather shoes, worn smooth by the rain, gleamed as he walked in the rain.

"How...how could he have found this place?" Uesawa Sakura murmured in disbelief.

Just then, the person under the umbrella looked up, their gaze piercing through the rain and meeting Uesawa Sakura's eyes.

He had a smile on his face, and his mouth moved.

Although she couldn't hear what he was saying, Sakura Uesawa could tell from his lip movements.

"I am coming."

He said it like the one who's "it" in a game of hide-and-seek.

"Jack is here!" Sakura Uesawa turned around and said urgently to Tang Rou, "Hurry, he's found us."

Unexpectedly, Tang Rou shook her head.

"No need to go any further."

"He's incredibly strong, we're no match for him!" Uesawa Sakura added urgently.

"It's alright, look."

Tang Rou held up her phone; it displayed a text message from the sender, whose contact name was "Boss."

The message was only three words long.

I have arrived.

"He... so fast? But wasn't he just in Luzhou not long ago? That place should have been sealed off by now..."

Tang Rou shrugged: "The fact that the boss was able to save you shows that he's omnipotent."

........

On the rooftop, three members of the Shanhe Yong'an Guild were on guard; they had come to provide emergency support.

Upon seeing the man in the suit, they immediately went into battle mode.

"He's here, get ready to strike!"

"Wait... we don't need to do anything."

"What do you mean? Didn't the boss send us over to look after them?"

"The boss... is back."

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through the rain.

Boom!

The world was illuminated in that instant.

Jack stopped in his tracks because he noticed that there was suddenly someone in front of him.

Without any warning!

The moment that person appeared, even the rain in the world seemed to give way!

The torrential rain poured down, but it could not extinguish the golden eyes that were filled with the majesty of a monarch.

He simply stood there quietly, yet he exuded an aura of "I am the only one who matters in the world," and the overwhelming sense of suffocation made it almost impossible to breathe.

"Is that really the boss? How is that possible? He was clearly still in Luzhou just two hours ago!"

"Yeah! I even saw Xiaoqi post a picture of the two of them having dinner in the group chat back then..."

"Linhai City is 1,600 kilometers away from Luzhou City. Even by plane, it takes two and a half hours. Moreover, Luzhou City is under lockdown, and the procedures for taking off will take even longer. It's simply impossible for him to..."

"Wait... he... did he fly back?"

"monster....."

Several guild members on the rooftop stood frozen in place, their eyes wide with disbelief.

........

The black umbrella landed on the ground and was quickly blown away by the strong wind.

Jack removed his top hat and bowed respectfully to Chen Nian, just like a well-mannered gentleman.

He bowed like this when he killed Zi Nan.

"You remained silent, and I thought you were still in Luzhou. I never expected that the whale would be caught so soon after the bait was cast."

Chen Nian extended his right hand, making a grasping motion in the air.

The Nine Revolutions Mystic Art, the third revolution—Moon Reversal and Star Return.

In that instant, Jack's body flew forward uncontrollably, as if he were being drawn towards Chen Nian's hands by a giant magnet.

In the end, Chen Nian grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.

"Where is she?" Chen Nian asked.

"Didn't anyone tell you that suddenly resorting to violence is very ungentlemanly?"

As Jack laughed, a silver-white scalpel secretly slid out from the cuff of his right sleeve behind his back.

He suddenly raised his hand and stabbed at Chen Nian.

Countless times, he used this method of feigning weakness before launching a sneak attack to kill those powerful superhumans.

Click!

The next second, Jack's hands were severed.

Both arms were severed cleanly, and blood immediately spread into the rainwater, leaving a shocking red stain.

"ah!!!!!"

The excruciating pain drove Jack to scream like a madman.

At that moment, another thunderclap exploded overhead, but the blinding lightning was still not as dazzling as Chen Nian's golden eyes.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is she?"

Jack finally recovered from the excruciating pain and forced a pale smile: "So eager to care about someone who's already dead, ha... She's in a village twenty miles west of the city. Don't worry, I haven't laid a hand on her yet."

"Give directions."

Chen Nian lifted Jack up by the neck, as if he were holding a chick, and took him into the air.

As he flew into the air, he suddenly turned around, his golden pupils meeting those of the three people on the rooftop.

"Now clean it up."

"Yes, yes, boss..."

After saying that, Chen Nian flew away with Jack.

The group breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to clean up the mess below.

"A notorious serial killer, feared by all, was utterly powerless against the boss... It's terrifying!"

"It's one thing for him to cause trouble in Britain, but he has to come to the boss's territory to run wild. Isn't he just asking for death?"

Tang Rou and Shang Zeying watched the whole thing from the window.

"Wow, the boss is angry! This is the first time I've ever seen him angry." Tang Rou couldn't help but exclaim. "You probably don't know, but this is what happens to anyone who dares to mess with the boss. You'll be living the good life if you follow him."

Uesawa Sakura: ......

........

Outside Linhai City lies a small mountain town.

As soon as Chen Nian landed, a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

It seems he killed many villagers here.

"The woman is inside..." Jack said.

Chen Nian didn't speak, but led Jack deeper into the area, and finally saw Zi Nan's figure ahead.

She lay on the ground, her whole body soaked by the torrential rain, her face and clothes covered in mud.

On the ground, there was a strange, blood-red magic circle.

"See, I didn't lie to you," Jack said with a smirk.

"Bring her out."

"If you kill me, this blood array will immediately detonate, blasting her body to pieces and utterly defiling her soul."

Jack chuckled and said, "I don't care about my worthless life, but can you bear to watch her suffer? If you want to save her, you can go in yourself."

"Don't come in!" Zi Nan shouted, "It's a trap! He deliberately set a trap for you!"

Chen Nian walked forward.

"Stop! I'm beyond saving, don't worry about me, kill him!" Zi Nan screamed almost hysterically.

Chen Nian continued walking forward.

"What are you doing, Chen Nian! You should be taking good care of Xiao Qi, how can you let this devil succeed? Don't come any closer... I beg you."

Chen Nian finally stepped into the crimson magic circle and came to Zi Nan's side.

"I will kill. I will save you."
