Chapter 21 - Gwen's Self-Sabotage, Wanda's Gentle Tenderness

Gwen was also terrified. Watching the man in the black battle suit, who resembled a demon, effortlessly end a life, her worldview crumbled.

"What? Scared? I told you not to come."

Chen Xi turned his head, smiling, to look at the stunned Gwen...

"That...that was a life."

Gwen found it difficult to accept that her superhero had such a dark side.

"I didn't kill him. He killed himself." Chen Xi said lightly.

"Nonsense, I... I... clearly saw you snap his neck." Gwen said angrily. You're still arguing!

"Really? Didn't you hear him begging to die? Wouldn't it be wrong of me not to grant him his wish? And didn't you hear him say he'd kill me later if I didn't kill him today?"

Chen Xi stated his case, speaking with conviction, "If you had to choose, would you rather I kill him, or wait for him to come and kill me later? Could you withstand a sneak attack?"

"Besides, a freak Mutant like him, who casually wants to kill people, can't be kept around. If I let him go today, more ordinary people might suffer tomorrow. Don't you think he deserves to die?"

"The biggest reason he deserves to die is that he coveted your beauty. If I weren't by your side, and I let him go, and he hurt you later, I'd want to die. For you! I'm willing to bear the罪名 of a murderer."

"He… he deserves to die."

Gwen mumbled dazedly, agreeing with him. She thought of many Mutants committing crimes, even going out of control and killing a large number of people.

And Chen Xi's later words made her heart race…

Oh my God! What did he mean by that? Does he like me, and that's why he did all this for me?

"Oh, Gwen, Gwen, it's all your fault! If it weren't for protecting you, he wouldn't have had to kill anyone!"

"So, I'm not only eliminating evil, but also ensuring your safety."

Chen Xi chuckled and gently stroked her little head. Wasn't it easy to fool such a little lamb?

Seeing her absent-minded look, Chen Xi understood that he had already successfully manipulated her.

Hmm~ Don't worry, she'll fall for it on her own...

Ignoring Gwen, who was lost in her own world, he purchased Corpse Dissolving Liquid from the system shop. With just a single drop, it was as if he had never even been in this world...

System-produced, a must-have quality!

Truly worthy of being a standard for the Predator, the effect was excellent.

"Red Queen, delete all the nearby surveillance footage."

"Yes, Master."

The dark alleyway seemed as if nothing had happened, silently slumbering.

On the way back, Gwen started fidgeting, nervously pinching her skirt. It was obvious she'd guessed that the enraged George was going to chew her out…

Sure enough, when they arrived home, George was waiting for Gwen by the flowerbed with a black face. Parker was still cautiously explaining something, probably trying to smooth things over for her.

When a luxury sports car slowly pulled up in front of their house, George instantly roared with fury like a lion and charged towards them.

Seeing Gwen and Chen Xi get out, how could he hold back any longer?

Immediately, he roared menacingly, "You little punk, you dare to hit on the police chief's daughter? You've got some nerve!"

"Hmm~ You're suspected of trafficking women and children, come with me to the police station for questioning."

Chen Xi looked at the old man, amused. Damn, when it comes to abusing your power, no one does it better than you!

"Dad! What are you doing? What trafficking women and children!"

Gwen complained unhappily. What was going on here?

When did she become a woman?

"Hmph! I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you have the nerve to talk?"

"Look at you, reeking of alcohol, not a shred of lady-like image! You don't learn the good things, but you choose to chase after rich guys?"

George Stacy's mouth was like a machine gun, firing off a barrage of criticism at Gwen. He believed that, ultimately, it was his daughter's lack of self-respect!

"Ugh, am I really that bad?"

Gwen shrugged helplessly, feeling completely worthless.

Chen Xi found the old man rather interesting. He figured Parker probably learned his gift of gab from him.

"Ahem, Mr. George, I'm not a bad person. I think your daughter has a lot of acting talent, and she has a great image. I just want to work with her on a movie," Chen Xi casually made up.

"Hmph? Talent scout? You only fool those ignorant girls who want to become famous overnight. Try to fool me? Hmph!"

George Stacy sneered with disdain. He had seen all sorts of people over the years.

"Uncle George, believe him. He can really make Gwen a big star," Parker chimed in.

"Hmph, him? Who does he think he is? You think he's Chen Xi?"

George Stacy not only sneered, but also looked down on them.

Parker and Gwen exchanged a look, and sighed:

"Yes! He really is!"

"Heh, what a joke! If he's Chen Xi, then I, George Stacy, will… will… will eat shit!!"

George Stacy acted as if he was hearing a joke, as if Parker and Gwen, these two students, could possibly know such a big shot?

Gwen was immediately crestfallen, this guy really…

"Hmph, no more words… words…"

However, as Chen Xi took off his sunglasses, the smile on George Stacy's face slowly disappeared, and his voice became quieter and quieter until he was completely dumbfounded.

"How about it? Do you believe it now? You stubborn old man."

Gwen said with a gloating smile, "You've finally stumbled, old man!"

"Mr. George Stacy, do you believe it now?"

Chen Xi said lightly, he was no longer fazed by putting on airs like this.

It was only at this moment that George Stacy reacted, and he excitedly covered his forehead and shouted, "My God..."

"Oh my God, it's really you! Oh my God, can my daughter really be this lucky? It's like a dream!"

"Oh my God! Oh my God!! It's so unbelievable."

...

Seeing her overjoyed father, Gwen finally breathed a sigh of relief; she'd managed to get through that.

After a few words of greeting and some smooth-talking, she got through the ordeal. George Stacy was incredibly enthusiastic, practically offering to let him take his daughter away.

Bidding farewell to the excited Stacy family, Chen Xi finally relaxed. Being too warmly welcomed was also a kind of suffering…

Returning home late at night, Chen Xi saw the living room lights still on and felt both warmth and heartache. It was almost one o'clock, and Wanda was still waiting for him.

The moment he opened the door, Wanda flung herself into his arms.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."

Chen Xi gently stroked her little head.

"I can't sleep when you're not with me."

Wanda nuzzled her head into his chest, murmuring softly.

"Silly girl."

Chen Xi lowered his head, a gentle smile gracing his face, and lovingly embraced the adorable Wanda as they went upstairs…
