Take Away

No one stopped Chen Miemie.

The people from [Burger Workshop] were busy saving [Knot].

The people from [Shedding Clinic] were also startled by the battle that ended in an instant.

The surprise on Du Jun’s face disappeared in a flash, and he was the first to recover.

He put on his trademark gentle smile again: “As expected of the next president of [Silver Moon Court], already unfathomable at such a young age.”

The astonishment among the onlookers wasn’t just because of the near-instant knockout result—more importantly, even right under their noses, no one could figure out what Chen Miemie’s core ability was.

Gongshu Key’s eyebrows were nearly twisted into a knot: “Isn’t his ability to release three-colored moonlight? What’s this move—altering the rope and controlling blood?”

Mu Ying had only just crossed paths with Chen Miemie: “I like his style. I just wish someone like that belonged to our Seal Library. With that long-range blood-draining trick, he could practically be the face of our society.”

Du Jun, being older, took the chance to knock them down a peg:

“You two usually look down on everyone and boast about having no rivals among your peers. Now you see, right? When someone dares to come to another city as an unbroken dragon, they’re this strong. You’d end up with the same result if you fought him.”

Gongshu Key nodded: “True. If it were me, I couldn’t dodge it, and I couldn’t break free from [Knot]’s ropes. It would be hard to get close to him. The two abilities Chen Miemie showed are indeed formidable.”

Du Jun shook his head.

“Wrong. You two still lack combat experience. What Chen Miemie used wasn’t two abilities—it was three.

Cutting the rope and controlling blood were striking enough, but that wasn’t the most impressive thing. The most impressive was the ability he showed first.”

“Huh? Which ability are you talking about?” Even Mu Ying had only seen two.

Du Jun shed his superficial smile with his own people and looked slightly serious:

“Do you think, at the start, [Knot]’s three ropes were aimed at Chen Miemie’s body?

In reality, his ropes were trying to bind Chen Miemie’s neck, heart, and male organ—three vital points.

But between the ropes appearing and actually touching Chen Miemie’s body, in that extremely short distance, their trajectory twisted and deviated.

What you saw, that Chen Miemie was tied up—he let that happen on purpose. He allowed himself to be bound, just to set up the move where he later stabbed [Knot]’s hand.

In other words, [Knot] lost not because he didn’t go all out, but because his attacks simply couldn’t hit Chen Miemie.”

After Du Jun’s analysis, Mu Ying and Gongshu Key thought it over carefully and realized it too.

“Damn, so you mean, no matter how many times [Knot] faces Chen Miemie, he’d be utterly powerless—not even a single chance?”

“Exactly. And not just [Knot]. No one here, including me and President Shepherd, is sure they could beat Chen Miemie.”

Du Jun didn’t dig deeper. He had more to say but held back, afraid of discouraging the two rising stars in his society.

Inwardly, he sighed: What made Chen Miemie terrifying wasn’t just his range of abilities—it was the intensity of his [Mystery].

Those ropes [Knot] used were his bread and butter, his sharpest weapon. How could they be so easily corrupted?

With such a small wound on his hand, and from such a distance, he directly drew blood from his opponent. Those who play with blood truly understand how impressive that was.

“[Bridge Princess], you don’t need to stay here. Go follow Chen Miemie and see if he needs any more help.” Du Jun ended the discussion on the fight.

Chen Miemie’s strength was good for [Shedding Clinic]. The two families had been allies for generations, and they were happy to see [Silver Moon Court] remain so powerful.

“Okay.” Gongshu Key chased after Chen Miemie.

In the villa’s main hall.

Chen Miemie looked around. There was no portable fish tank—not even a bucket of the right size.

He had temporarily intimidated everyone with his instant battle victory, but he didn’t want to linger there.

When Gongshu Key came over, he saw Chen Miemie pointing at the large fish tank. The glass on the upper half turned to ceramic and shattered.

A huge amount of water gushed out from the broken section, soaking a large part of the living room carpet.

Chen Miemie raised his hand.

Flowing water gathered under his control, forming a water egg.

Amazingly, the finished water egg didn’t collapse—it seemed held together by some invisible force.

Chen Miemie called out: “[Water Eye], come on in. We’re leaving.”

“Coming!” [Water Eye] disappeared from the fish tank and appeared inside the water egg in Chen Miemie’s hand in the next second.

Gongshu Key walked over on the wet carpet, staring at the water egg.

“Chen Miemie, do you have too many abilities? Can you control water too?”

“Of course. I’m all about controlling water. Controlling blood is just controlling the water within the blood. I’ll head off now. Let me know if anything comes up.”

“Do you need a car to send you off?”

“No need. I have my own ‘car.’”

Chen Miemie walked out of the villa and summoned a sedan chair.

Since he was already drawing attention and stepping into everyone’s sight today, he didn’t mind showing off his ‘car’ a bit more.

Watching Chen Miemie leave in the sedan chair were Gongshu Key and the security officer.

The officer clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, but finally let his whole body relax, letting out a powerless long sigh.

After that match, Chen Miemie forcefully took [Water Eye] away.

[Shedding Clinic] backed him, and [Burger Workshop] gave their silent consent.

But all these dead people in the house—who cared? Who would seek justice for them? Against powerful Mysters and societies, were ordinary lives truly nothing more than weeds, dying for nothing?

The security officer knew that even if he filed a report, nothing would come of it.

If Chen Miemie had killed them himself, he could rely on the law to demand answers. But this was a monster killing people. From now on, Chen Miemie could just say he’d already dealt with [Water Eye], and nobody could do anything.

As for demanding it now?

Even the president of [Burger Workshop] failed to stop him. What use would he be? He’d just be rejected.

Inside the sedan chair.

[Water Eye] opened the water curtain within the water egg, looking at Chen Miemie.

“I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean for those people to die.”

Chen Miemie waved his hand:

“I have my own scale. Not only were you not intentionally malicious, but if it comes down to it, the bigger blame lies with the curse from [Shedding Clinic]. That curse was the real cause of death.

If this city’s justice system can’t judge [Shedding Clinic], then it definitely shouldn’t judge you—that would just be looking for a scapegoat.

Besides, that family wasn’t normal. What ordinary person, lacking any strength, would play both sides between two societies? Dancing on a knife’s edge—destruction was just a matter of time.”

[Water Eye] thought for a moment: “Actually, maybe me ending up in that house wasn’t a coincidence.”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

“There was a butler in that house who recognized me. But he still took the fish I was inside back, placed it in that big tank, and didn’t tell anyone.”

“Was the butler among those who died today?”

“No. The butler wasn’t there. He’s vanished.”
