Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Why Aren’t You Following the Script?

“There are more ability users in this time-space than you imagine.”

Crocodile Man had completely lost the ability to resist. Pain spread through every cell in his body. His mental power had also been completely suppressed by Jiang Shi Yue without him noticing. Yet instead of panicking, he became calm. “Young girl, a plan was already being set in motion before you were born. You were never supposed to get involved.”

Hearing that, Jiang Shi Yue lowered her eyes slightly and only answered calmly, “Oh.”

“You’re not curious?” Crocodile Man’s calm vanished. He instinctively widened his eyes. He suddenly realized Jiang Shi Yue looked completely uninterested.

Something was off. Why wasn’t she asking?

Why wasn’t she following the script?

If she asked, he could threaten her a little.

Jiang Shi Yue smiled. She shrugged. “Of course I’m curious, but you definitely won’t tell me willingly. And even if you want to tell me, the moment you speak the truth, your companions will kill you.”

Crocodile Man froze for a moment, then burst into wild laughter. “Young girl, if we met in the right place, we might become friend. I really won’t tell you, that’s true, but don’t worry. My companions aren’t here.”

But as soon as the words left his mouth, his head lolled to the side, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Jiang Shi Yue rolled her eyes impatiently. Crocodile Man had forced himself into a dormant state. He seemed to be sure Jiang Shi Yue would not kill him and would keep him alive, so dormancy was the best choice. That way he did not have to reveal any secrets, and he could still live.

What a sweet deal.

Jiang Shi Yue sighed and muttered to herself, “Then there’s no way I’d become friend with you. A kind, adorable girl child like me could never be friends with someone as shameless as you.”

Then she stood up, lifted Crocodile Man’s massive body with one hand, and walked unhurriedly toward Fu Qing Han.

A slender, delicate girl, yet she had such monstrous strength…

Seeing the young girl stroll over, Madam Zhou’s heart nearly stopped. It wasn’t that she hadn’t witnessed what had just happened. Those scenes were burned into her mind, painfully clear.

So clear that she would never forget them for the rest of her life.

She suddenly remembered the nasty things she had said about Jiang Shi Yue behind her back. She shuddered, instinctively grabbing the hand of the unconscious Zhou Wen An and turning her eyes away, afraid to meet the gaze of that living demon.

Jiang Shi Yue ignored her and said bluntly to Fu Qing Han, “He forced himself into dormancy. You won’t be able to get anything out of him right now.”

Fu Qing Han gave a slight nod, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. As his gaze swept over the area, a group of men in black suddenly emerged from not far away. Their expressions were hidden in the night, and their faces were impossible to make out.

Every one of them moved in perfect sync, like mirror images. Even so, you could still feel the extreme respect they held for Fu Qing Han.

“Take him away,” Fu Qing Han ordered calmly.

“Yes, Second Young Master!”

Very quickly, they took Crocodile Man from Jiang Shi Yue. Their figures were ghostlike, and in the blink of an eye they vanished into the endless night.

Jiang Shi Yue could tell that even if they were not ability user, their strength was not to be underestimated. They had been hiding near the garden, yet she had not fully noticed them.
