Chapter 446 - 448: Those Who Come to Seek Death【Subscribe Plea, Update 2】
BOOM!
At Wu Tian’s words, Bing Hong was utterly stupefied, but that wasn’t all.
Wu Tian looked at her coldly and continued, "You’d better get out of the South. Otherwise, the next time I see you, you will die without a doubt!"
"And remember, I’m not sparing you because of your looks or because you’re a woman. It’s because my wife bought me these shoes!"
Bing Hong understood exactly what he meant. What? I’m less important than his shoes? Heavens! What kind of joke is this?
"I..." At a loss, she scrambled for a response. "Even if you’re immensely powerful, you can’t... you can’t just force me to leave, can you?"
Just then, the hospital’s Director, having heard of Mr. Wu Tian’s arrival, came over personally.
"I’m sorry, but you aren’t welcome here either," the Director stated flatly. He didn’t know the details of what had happened, but he knew that if Mr. Wu Tian wanted this woman gone, then there was certainly a compelling reason for her to go. He spoke with a firm tone, demanding Bing Hong’s immediate departure.
Bing Hong’s face was a mask of disbelief. Has Wu Tian’s influence reached this level?
The titles of King of the South or Martial God were concepts far too distant for her; she knew nothing of them. She didn’t watch livestreams, preferring Korean dramas instead. The only thing she knew was that Wu Tian was from Boundless Corporation.
"You... why are you doing this? Believe it or not, I’ll sue you!" Bing Hong’s inherent brashness finally broke through her facade. The pretense of a gentle, fragile woman was completely false. She had always used her baby face and soft-spoken nature to appear harmless, evoking a protective instinct in men. It was precisely how she had once utterly captivated Lin Fa.
The Director laughed coldly. "Do you have any idea in whose presence you stand?"
What? Bing Hong was taken aback by the question. Who else could be standing in front of me?
"The man before you is equivalent to a god!"
What? Bing Hong was dumbfounded. A thought struck her, and she looked at Wu Tian with utter, horrified disbelief.
"No, no, no, that’s impossible... You’re lying to me! How can you say something so insane?" Bing Hong was so scared she nearly wet herself. In her wildest dreams, she had never imagined someone could be referred to as a god. How can this be?
Remembering Wu Tian’s attitude toward her, a cold sweat drenched her body, and she trembled with fear.
"I was wrong..." Looking at Wu Tian, she immediately dropped to her knees, weeping and sobbing. Her remorse seemed sincere. "I... I promise, I will never appear before you again!"
Wu Tian’s eyes were indifferent as he stared at her. "Get out. Or die."
Get out? Or die?
Hearing those words, Bing Hong shivered uncontrollably. Without hesitation, she chose to get out.
What surprised Wu Tian, however, was her reaction. When he told people to get out, their first instinct was always to walk. But Bing Hong? She flattened herself on the ground and, without any further prompting, began to literally roll out of the room. What did that say about her? She must be used to this kind of abuse.
After rolling out the door and crawling all the way into the corridor, she finally let out a long sigh of relief. She paid no mind to the strange looks from passersby; she was in no mood to care about what others thought. I’ll roll if I want to! I’m happy to! It’s none of your business!
Her forehead was now slick with sweat, her beautiful eyes filled with immense horror. How did he do it? How did he go from a mere logistics department head to being called a ’god’ by others? She could hardly believe it, wondering if she was trapped in a dream. But she knew the Director wouldn’t lie about something like this.
Alas, I was so blind. Why didn’t I see Wu Tian’s potential back then? If I had noticed it and thrown myself at him, with my looks, I’m sure I would have succeeded! Thinking of this, a fleeting wave of joy was quickly drowned by overwhelming regret as she cursed her own blindness.
She left the corridor and found a deserted corner. After carefully checking to make sure no one was around, she pulled out her phone and made a call.
"How did it go? Is he dead yet?" the voice of a middle-aged man answered.
Hearing his voice, Bing Hong’s face, still swollen like a pig’s head from Wu Tian’s slap, took on a seductive look. "My lord," she cooed, "you asked me to check if Lin Fa was dead, but unfortunately, Wu Tian returned and chased me out."
"Wu Tian, the Martial God of the surface world?" The man on the other end paused for a moment before a wicked smile spread across his lips. "Heh, he’s nothing. Before my Heavenly Demon Palace, his power is insignificant."
"You need to get back to that hospital room and keep watching for me. The moment Lin Fa dies, you tell me immediately!"
"As long as he is dead, my nephew and my sister can inherit the Heavenly Demon Palace."
"And as for you, I will marry you. Believe me."
Bing Hong listened to his voice, remembering the night her latest ’repair’ was undone. She nodded shyly but hesitated. "But Wu Tian told me to either get out or die. I’m afraid if I go back in to monitor the situation..."
"Don’t be afraid!" the man reassured her. "Wu Tian is a man. Men talk tough, but they can’t bear to actually harm a beautiful woman. Besides, as the Martial God, he’s a man of stature. Men like that don’t kill the old, the weak, women, or children. Relax, you’ll be fine. Trust me. Once this is done, I will marry you!"
"Okay!" Hearing his promise, Bing Hong nodded. She had been with many men, but none had ever spoken of marriage. This middle-aged man was an exception. She chose to believe him.
"Good. I’ll be waiting for your good news," the man said, then abruptly hung up.
A small smile touched her lips. He said he’s from the Underground World, so he probably doesn’t know about modern hymen-repair surgery. He still thinks he was my first. Mustering her courage, she turned and walked back toward Lin Fa’s hospital room.
「Meanwhile, in the hospital room」
Wu Tian held Lin Fa’s emaciated right wrist, as if taking his pulse, and channeled Spiritual Power into his body.
Finally, Lin Fa regained enough strength to speak. "I... I’ve already broken all ties with that vile woman! You have to believe me!"
Wu Tian and Lirong nodded.
The door opened.
Bing Hong entered just in time to hear Lin Fa’s voice. She was astonished. The man on the phone had said Lin Fa would surely die. What is happening now?
