"Mu Nian, believe in your mother. You definitely have superpowers, do you know that?"

Yan Luo came to Mu Nian and knelt down, holding Mu Nian's face and comforting him softly, then reached out to wipe the blood off Mu Nian's body.

She pressed her palm down hard, saying that she was wiping off the blood for Mu Nian, but she ended up making the wound that had finally scabbed over bleed again.

Mu Nian gritted his teeth, as if he didn't feel any pain.

He raised his head with difficulty to look at Yan Luo, and said pleadingly: "Mom, can we give up?"

This was the first time since Mu Nian was old enough to understand that he spoke to Yama Luo in a pleading tone.

If an ordinary mother heard her child begging her like this, she would most likely agree out of heartache.

But Yan Luo's thinking is different from that of ordinary mothers.

After hearing Mu Nian's plea, she was so angry that she slapped Mu Nian hard in the face, causing him to spit out blood.

“Mu Nian, are you pleading for this bitch?”

Yan Luo stood up from the ground and pointed his bloody finger at Xu Juan on the ground.

From beginning to end, Xu Juan witnessed the scene of Yan Luo torturing Mu Nian.

Although she had long known that Yama Luo would come to torture Mu Nian once a year, she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she had always been skeptical.

After all, what mother would be willing to abuse her own child?

Unfortunately, she has been tortured by Yan Luo for so many years but still has not fully seen through Yan Luo's nature.

"Mom, I didn't." Mu Nian's eyes dodged.

With just an evasive glance, Yan Luo saw through everything and became even more angry.

"Mu Nian, you have never told me a lie since I was a child, and now you are lying to me for this bitch?"

“…”

“Hahaha…” Yan Luo laughed angrily, “Mu Nian, it seems that you really care about this bitch mother and son!”

Mu Nian panicked when he heard the words "mother and son". His body tightened unconsciously and he subconsciously changed his position.

Yan Luo didn't seem to notice Mu Nian's little trick, and asked casually, "Mu Nian, do you like this bitch more, or do you like that bastard more?"

"Mom, no, no..."

Mu Nian prayed, tears welling up in his eyes.

He had not shed a single tear even when he was tortured half to death by Yama Luo, but now he was so heartbroken that he couldn't stop crying.

The cruelest part about awakening superpowers is not the physical torture or the burning of the soul, but the despair of watching the people you care about die in front of you while you are powerless to do anything.

Mu Nian had been afraid of this for a long time.

He was afraid that Yan Luo would do something extreme if he failed to awaken his supernatural powers and kill everyone he cared about.

In order to prevent this day from coming, Mu Nian didn't dare to care about anyone.

He deliberately kept his distance from everyone, so that he had no friends in his life for more than ten years, and even his subordinates did not dare to get too close to him.

The only ones who dared to get close to him were probably Mu Yonghua and Mu De.

He thought that Yan Luo loved Mu Yonghua so deeply, and even if he hated Mu De, he would never take Mu De's life.

Isn't it because of Mu Yonghua's love that Yan Luo lets Xu Juan go again and again?

But no matter how much Mu Nian tried to distance himself from others, Yan Luo knew Mu Nian's nature too well.

Therefore, Yan Luo decided to take Xu Juan as the first target.
