Chapter One: Parents' Favoritism Towards Their Adopted Son, Awakening of a Demonic Heart



Haicheng People's Hospital.

In the VIP room on the third floor, Liu Chu'an, the head of the Liu family, and his wife Lin Xia were present.

She was comforting her adopted son, Liu Boda, who had just undergone a heart transplant, along with her nine daughters.

"It wasn't in vain that we went through so much trouble to find Liu Chen, who had been living away from home."

It's an honor for Boda to have that useless heart given to him.

“Those lowlifes who grew up in the slums are no match for my brother Bodabby!”

"Anyway, his life originally belonged to the Liu family, and now he has at most paid off his debt."

Liu Boda's face was pale, his expression dejected, but a hint of mockery flashed deep in his eyes.

"Mom and Dad, sister, it's all my fault for being unhealthy. That's why Brother Liu Chen had to donate his heart to me. It's all my fault."

Seeing their beloved son upset, the family quickly comforted him.

"It's not your fault. He's just a worthless person, and there's no point in him living anyway."

"The only brother we acknowledge is you. That good-for-nothing should have died long ago."

In contrast to the bustling atmosphere in the wards, the atmosphere in the corridor was unusually quiet.

A well-dressed young woman pushed Liu Chen's body toward the mass grave behind the hospital.

Looking at Liu Chen, whose face was deathly pale and devoid of any color.

The girl's face was full of disgust.

"Damn it, he's already dead, why is he wasting my time?"

Although she was a maid in the Liu family, she was also Liu Boda's lover in private.

Therefore, this young master, who had been wandering outside and had just been found and returned to the Liu family, had his blood extracted and his heart ripped out by the Liu family.

There was no pity in my heart, but rather a deep hatred for the other person.

This is an era in which everyone awakens to their superpowers.

Liu Boda, the adopted son of the Liu family, awakened the SS-level Western Dragon Knight.

The entire Liu family cherished him.

In contrast, Liu Chen, the true young master who had been living away from home, failed to awaken his special abilities.

If it weren't for Liu Boda's poor health, he wouldn't have developed heart problems at such a young age.

As luck would have it, Liu Chen, who had just been found by the Liu family, had a heart that was a perfect match for them.

So Liu Chen's heart was forcibly removed so that Liu Boda's life could be extended.

In the eyes of the Liu family, Liu Chen, who had not yet awakened, was of no value.

Therefore, the decision to have Liu Chen die in exchange for Liu Boda's life was unanimously agreed upon by the Liu family.

Chen Hong grabbed Liu Chen by the collar and threw him to the ground.

He stepped on Liu Chen's chest, gripped a sharp dagger in his right hand, and slashed at his neck.

"Disgusting! Go to hell!"

Even though Liu Chen's heart had been ripped out, he was as dead as could be!

But young master Liu Boda specifically instructed her to cut off Liu Chen's head and then feed the body to the dogs.

After all, this is an era where everyone has superpowers.

Some people can use their superpowers to regenerate even if they are missing an arm or a leg.

But what Chen Hong didn't notice was that Liu Chen, who was standing beneath her feet, trembled almost imperceptibly.

[Congratulations, host, for having your heart removed by your family, awakening the unique talent across all realms: Demonic Heart.]

[Initial Rewards: Myriad Soul Banner, Eternal Demonic Technique.] (The deeper the resentment of the vengeful spirit, the greater the cultivation boost the host will receive.)

Just as the dagger was less than an inch from Liu Chen's neck.

Liu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand pierced Chen Hong's chest from below.

Chen Hong froze, her knife-wielding motion halting, staring at Liu Chen in disbelief.

"You, how come you're not dead?"

A metallic, sweet taste rose uncontrollably from my throat.

This made her speak haltingly, her eyes wide open, staring at Liu Chen with unseeing disbelief.

[Congratulations, host, for slaying a Tier 1 early-stage ability user. Your demonic cultivation has improved, and you have successfully broken through to the second level of the Qi Refining stage.]

Strands of demonic energy flowed into Liu Chen's body.

His physical strength improved rapidly, and he recovered from his listless state.

Liu Chen roughly understood the power of the cheat system.

By continuously defeating opponents, one can improve their cultivation level.

Moreover, the resentment of the remnant souls that are collected into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner grows stronger.

The more you help someone resolve their resentment, the more cultivation you will receive in return.

Liu Chen looked at the brightly lit Haicheng Hospital.

He casually threw Chen Hong's body into the mass grave, leaving it to be devoured by wild dogs below.

Liu Chen thought he was going to die after his heart was removed.

Unexpectedly, the cheat code was activated, and it came back to life.

He grew up in an orphanage and was finally found and brought back to the Liu family by his parents.

But by then, the Liu family already had Liu Boda.

As soon as he returned to the Liu family, his nine older sisters gave him a hard time.

His fiancée, with whom he had been betrothed since childhood, had also fallen in love with Liu Boda.

Before they could find Liu Chen, Liu's parents felt guilty towards him.

After finding him, they discovered that Liu Chen had no special abilities and quickly forgot about him.

Over the years, Liu Chen has lived a life of misery in the Liu family.

Liu Chen stroked his empty chest.

The pitch-black demonic energy slowly healed the wounds left by the surgery.

Liu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he relaxed completely.

“In ancient times, people would cut off their flesh to return to their father and their bones to return to their mother. I can say that my ties with the Liu family are now completely severed.”

Despite their current strength, they are no match for the Liu family.

But with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in hand, he could send these biased family members to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for reunion in less than a month.

Inside the hospital, the Liu family members were all reunited, enjoying a happy and harmonious time together.

No one noticed that Liu Chen's body was missing.

Liu Chen took Chen Hong's money and searched for a target in the city.

Despite being the true young master of the Liu family, he didn't have a single penny on him.

The Liu family claimed that they didn't want him to develop extravagant and arrogant habits.
