Chapter 74 Important Disciple
"You can even say that."
I raised my sword and slashed off Chen Ziyou's left hand. I pressed down hard on his body, which thrashed in pain, and slowly moved the bloody blade towards his right hand. "After hurting my most important disciple, what gave you the illusion that you could walk away unscathed?"
"Summer night..."
My action not only surprised Chen Ziyou, but also shocked Zhong Mengfan. Facing Chen Ziyou's broken left hand, he was a little at a loss.
At this moment, I didn't have time to consider Zhong Mengfan's feelings. I said to Chen Ziyou, "Do you think death is liberation? Do you plan to escape this world as a loser? Don't hold on to your luck."
I raised my lip slightly. "If you know what's good for you, do as I say. Otherwise, losing a hand is just the beginning. I'll take your feet, eyes, or other parts of your body one by one. I have many ways to treat you, and I can make you live a life worse than death."
"Ugh..." Chen Ziyou's face was filled with horror. He groaned in pain, his body trembling with pain, and he looked in a miserable state.
He was not as fearless as he said, and he did not have the courage to commit suicide. After hearing what I said, he took back the poison he had released.
After completing the suspect transfer procedures, Zhong Mengfan and I left the police station amid the sound of ambulance sirens.
"It's only the first day of reporting in and it caused such a big commotion." I said with a little emotion.
Chen Ziyou used the ventilation ducts of the police station to release a certain amount of poisonous gas at the beginning, so except for Zhong Mengfan and me, everyone else in the police station inhaled some toxins to a certain extent.
At this moment, Zhong Mengfan's communicator rang with a little girl's voice again: "Points are coming~ Wow, 300 points! I've made an amazing contribution to upholding justice today!"
I:……
The devilish voice interrupted my sigh.
"Why does your notification tone change?" I couldn't help but complain.
Zhong Mengfan nodded. "Yeah, this will give me a stronger sense of mission, allowing me to immerse myself in the role of a professional hero and unleash my power—the heart of justice! That's impressive! I've never scored 300 points in a single attempt."
"The psychic this time was quite ruthless, and we indirectly saved everyone in the police station. You deserve these points." I touched my pocket and remembered that I didn't have the cigarettes I needed.
"Here you go." Zhong Mengfan seemed to know what I was thinking at the moment. He took out a pack of cigarettes and a black lighter.
I reached out and took it. The lighter had a frosted surface and I couldn't tell the brand or manufacturer. "This is..."
"I ordered a lighter from the Hero Mall app—it won't go out. It's a gift for you."
"Thank you. You're still in the rookie phase, so it's a bit of a waste to use your points to buy gifts."
"Hey, Xia Ye also gave me a more expensive cloak." Then he asked me, "Do you like the lighter?"
I nodded. "I like it, but I feel a little weird that you would give me this."
"Maybe he thinks smoking on a summer night is cool."
I put the cigarette to my lips and turned on the lighter, but I paused for a moment because the flame in the lighter was green.
I turned my gaze to Zhong Mengfan, asking inquiringly.
"This is a special custom-made style that I asked customer service! The color of the flame changes every time you turn it on. There are seven colors in total ~ very interesting, right?" Zhong Mengfan seemed to really hope that I would agree with him.
But, what's interesting about it?
I lit my cigarette and tossed the lighter to Zhong Mengfan. "Customized models can be repaired and the flame can be restored to its original shape."
"Hey, why?"
"Using a strangely colored lighter to smoke doesn't make you look cool at all."
"How could that be?" Although he said this, he still put the lighter back into his pocket.
I looked at Zhong Mengfan's left hand and asked, "Is your hand really okay?"
He waved his arm. "It's okay. The doctor who just came here also checked my hand. In fact, I had already regained consciousness by then."
"Summer night."
"What's wrong"
"You just said that I am your most important disciple."
"Yeah." I exhaled a puff of smoke.
I have no relatives in this world.
I still have some friends, but with my status, I can't tell when the boat of friendship will sink to the bottom of the sea.
I used to have a bad reputation. Even though my subordinates hardly saw me, they still respected and feared me. But how could a worker have extra feelings for his boss?
There is only Zhong Mengfan - my disciple, and perhaps my only disciple.
Although he cannot inherit my estate, and once he knows my true identity, our master-disciple relationship will sound very plastic, it can still be said that he is an important person.
He touched his nose and said with a look of happiness yet a bit of awkwardness, "I thought that after my grandfather and parents passed away, without my close relatives, no one in this world would consider me the most important." He paused again and said, "Well, hearing you say that, I feel valued again. I'm very happy... Thank you, Xia Ye."
I said very honestly, "Well, after all, you are my only disciple."
He patted his head again and said, "New moves, very good."
When praised, Zhong Mengfan first smiled with dimples, then immediately turned his head away, saying dissatisfiedly, "Only children get patted on the head when they are being praised."
I laughed and said, “That’s true.”
So he changed his posture and patted his shoulder, "Come on, young man."
