A Manual for Surviving a Weird World

Chapter 302 Hero

Chapter 302 Hero
After a few simple greetings, the five of them sat down under the cinnamon tree.

“Would you like a drink?” Liu Hongwen pushed the glass in front of Ning Zhe and pretended to pick up the champagne on the table.

“Pouring champagne in the middle of starting a business is not a good sign.” Ning Zhe shook his finger and pushed the glass back.

Shen Changjiang laughed: “Mr. Dai Ke has been in Yunzhou for a long time, and he has really learned a lot of the customs of Kyushu.”

Ning Zhe smiled and said nothing: “Let’s talk about business.”

The unlucky Van Dyke was killed by Lan Shiwen as soon as he arrived in Yunzhou. He had no chance to learn the customs of Kyushu. The ridicule just now was purely blurted out by Ning Zhe.

Yes, because I am Ning Zhe, I absolutely believe that I am Ning Zhe and will not waver in the slightest… Jue Yuan’s rules are like heavy chains stained with blood that tightly imprison Tai Yi. While helping Ning Zhe to maintain his self-esteem, it also deprives him of something that only Tai Yi, who was free and not imprisoned at the time, could do:

After controlling Jue Yuan, Ning Zhe could no longer be another person as personally as before.

The highest achievement in acting is to deceive oneself, but Ning Zhe can never deceive himself. He believes from the bottom of his heart that he is Ning Zhe, so his acting is always “acting” rather than “becoming”.

“Fortunately, I know Van Dyke well enough to avoid being exposed here…” Ning Zhe exhaled lightly and said seriously, “Representatives of other families have come to Vivian Port at my invitation. Now is the time for you to show your sincerity.”

The smile on Liu Hongwen’s face gradually faded, and his hand left the champagne bottle and gently placed it on the table.

He glanced at Xia Yubing who was sitting next to Ning Zhe, and said slowly: “The revenge for my parents should be buried in bed and not shared with others. Lan Shiwen killed my entire family. I will not be able to sleep or eat peacefully until this revenge is avenged.”

Shen Changjiang silently folded the Bodhi seeds in his left hand. Ning Zhe nodded, motioning him to continue.

“Since leaving Jiuzhou, I have been planning to take revenge on him all the time, but Lan Shiwen is a man of cunning and vicious means, which are rare in the world. He also has the rule of predicting the future. If you want to take action against him, you must do it perfectly without any mistakes, otherwise… it is inevitable that there will be complications.”

As Liu Hongwen spoke, he glanced at Xia Yubing, who was sitting silently next to Ning Zhe. The meaning of his words could not be more obvious.

Shen Changjiang nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Liu Hongwen’s words with silence.

“Ha…” Xia Yubing suppressed her anxiety and imitated Ning Zhe’s expression with a faint smile.

A green leaf left the tree canopy and gently fell on the table. Xia Yubing picked it up and held it between his fingers, saying slowly, “There’s no need to be so vigilant, Mr. Liu. We are all gathered here for the same reason, aren’t we?”

Liu Hongwen narrowed his eyes slightly: “Oh? Really?”

He disciplined his son at the table and taught his wife in bed. Before leaving this morning, Ning Zhe briefly explained to her the situation they would face next.

Xia Yubing reached out and took the glass that Ning Zhe had pushed away, took it in front of herself, poured herself a glass of champagne, and said: “Deck, Frimmisret, Milicato… and you and me, the reason we are here today is because of the same person.” “-Lan Shiwen.” Xia Yubing said, picked up the glass and took a sip of the golden wine.

“Hehe…” An awkward smile appeared on Shen Changjiang’s sallow face. Liu Hongwen didn’t say anything, but his expression became more solemn.

Xia Yubing put down her wine glass, a blush appeared on her cheeks, she looked at the two people across the table with her eyes dimly and said:
“There are 3,527 members of the Yunzhou Liu family, 3,526 of whom were massacred by Lan Shiwen, leaving you alone… Liu Hongwen, your entire family was killed by Lan Shiwen, and the hatred of genocide is irreconcilable. For revenge, you can risk everything.”

“Shen Changjiang, you are terminally ill. You were a client of the God of Wealth ‘Wutong’ many years ago. You used the God of Wealth’s rules to forcibly extend your life many times. However, due to the excessive number of times you have bought your life, other strange life extension methods are no longer effective on you.”

After all, ‘Taiyi’ is not something that can be found everywhere.

“After the death of the God of Wealth, the disqualified weird named Wutong was taken in by Lan Shiwen. You don’t have much time left, and you urgently need the God of Wealth to prolong your life. For this, you are willing to pay any price, such as fleeing overseas with secrets, betraying Jiuzhou, and becoming a running dog of the Dyke family.”

The two people who were mentioned looked slightly stiff, and Shen Changjiang’s face was even more embarrassed, but just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, he heard Xia Yubing continue:

“The European nobles represented by Dyke and Flimmisret do not lack the means to extend their lifespans, and they are not particularly eager for the Five Powers of the God of Wealth, but they are quite interested in Lan Shiwen’s rules of ‘predicting the future’. In other words, as long as they are in the weird circle, it is impossible for them not to be interested.”

“You all have different thoughts and are gathered here today for the same purpose – to kill Lan Shiwen.”

Xia Yubing picked up the wine glass, drank the champagne in it, and slammed it on the table: “Me too.”

Liu Hongwen and Shen Changjiang looked at each other, and then simultaneously turned their gazes to Mr. Dyke, who had been silent.

Ning Zhe smiled and said, “Although this young lady’s family is far away in Qinzhou, Lan Shiwen is arrogant and domineering. Even if someone is far away, as long as his ideas conflict with those of others, he will punish them with thundering means.”

Liu Hongwen nodded in agreement and said, “This is indeed something Lan Shiwen would do. This colleague is a beast in human form and his behavior is extremely eccentric.

When my grandfather was dying in bed, my father begged him to keep the plague god in my grandfather’s ward for a while longer, waiting for the medical team to arrive and then take him away. But even with such a humble request, he actually accused me of a false crime! He caused my Liu family to be slaughtered for no reason, and all 3,527 people in the family were killed overnight! This blood feud is irreconcilable!”

Liu Hongwen pounded the table with his hand, heartbroken. He looked up and saw Miss Xia Yubing opposite him with red eyes and a look of grief and anger. He must have believed that her family had also been tragically murdered by the beast Lan Shiwen. The eldest daughter of a wealthy family in the past was now alone and drifting overseas. She was also a pitiful person.

Thinking of this, Liu Hongwen couldn’t help but feel a little pity for Xia Yubing, but thinking back to the height difference between her and Mr. Dyke when they were walking side by side just now, he felt that he should pity himself first. Mr. Dyke, who was 1.85 meters tall, was already tall and strong enough, but Miss Xia was almost a head taller than him.

“Enough of the sadness, it’s time to get down to business.”

Shen Changjiang put away the smile on his face, put the bodhi bracelet on the table, and said seriously: “What method are we going to use to kill Lan Shiwen next?”
