Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 505 - 113. Inventory of earnings: 1 billion!_4

His gaze shifted back to Jiang Cheng,

"Do you think... you really could kill me?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng's fist clenched slightly, his expression wavering between madness and restraint—clearly, he was truly tempted...

It was at this moment that Fang Ze looked at him with icy eyes, and then suddenly shouted, "Where are the five Yang Transformation guardians!"

Startled by Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng snapped to attention and, like a frightened rabbit, bolted out of the bedroom!

In that instant, he seemed to recall the day he witnessed, through an Extraordinary Artifact, five Yang Transformation guardians appearing out of the air and joining forces to kill Haoyu—a shocking spectacle!

In the ranks of Yang Transformation, Haoyu was by no means weak, at least stronger than Jiang Cheng.

Yet, at that moment, he didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back!

That scene was deeply embedded in Jiang Cheng's mind, frightening him to the point where he had fled on the spot.

Now, Fang Ze had awakened that memory once again. So Jiang Cheng was tense all over, constantly alert, afraid that those five Yang Transformation masters would suddenly appear and slay him just as they had before!

And so, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Half a minute quickly passed. Jiang Cheng slowly came to his senses and realized something was amiss: to begin with, it wasn't certain whether Fang Ze's five Yang Transformation guardians were even by his side!

Even if they were around... among those five people was Bai Zhi's aunt, Lady Jin Luan!

When did Lady Jin Luan become one of Fang Ze's guards?

This kid, he couldn't be tricking me, could he?!

And while he was thinking this, sure enough, a careless voice from Fang Ze echoed inside the house, "Dear nephew Jiang Cheng, take care, I won't see you out. Remember to be polite and close the door behind you."

At this moment, Jiang Cheng knew he had been played!

His face turned an ashen blue, his fists white-knuckled, teeth grinding so audibly, and his eyes filled with fury and humiliation!

However, perhaps because his daring idea was interrupted, or maybe he was worried that Yang Transformation masters were really lying in ambush nearby to protect Fang Ze and just had not struck yet.

In any case, he eventually stormed off with a resentful flick of his clothes, then led his men away from Fang Ze's house!

But just as he left Fang Ze's doorstep, Jiang Cheng suddenly turned back, casting a frosty sentence, "Fang Ze, I swear I will kill you!"

After speaking, he did not forget to casually close the door behind him...

.....

Meanwhile, inside the house, Fang Ze was all calm and serene.

Fang Ze's nature was one prone to immediate gratification of love and hate.

Jiang Cheng and his subordinates had troubled Fang Ze time and again, even attempting to kill him, so their feud had long reached a boiling point of no return.

Fang Ze was not originally a man of Xida State, unburdened by concepts of royalty or nobility.

In his former world, he was educated with the idea that "Within the four seas, all men are brothers!"

So while Jiang Cheng may think he was condescendingly seeking peace, Fang Ze just wanted him to get the hell out, to wash his neck and await death!

After all, Fang Ze had now received "sponsorship" from Jiang Cheng's dad, and his strength was about to rocket ahead quickly.

With his understanding of his own abilities and strength, Fang Ze believed that once he reached the Spirit Ascension phase, perhaps... he could start taking Jiang Cheng to the Late-Night Investigation Room and beat him!

Afterward, lock him up in the Demigod Prison, then impersonate him, allowing him to "die twice" in this world...

Only in this way did Fang Ze feel that the hatred between himself and Jiang Cheng would be truly settled!

As for the forthcoming opportunities and challenges in Emerald City...

Fang Ze felt, what did they matter compared to personally slaying his enemy!

......

While Fang Ze and Jiang Cheng were involved in successive confrontations, at the same time.

Sky Mother Ship, Lady Jin's room.

Although Fang Ze had already left the Sky Mother Ship, Bai Zhi did not leave with him tonight.

At the moment, she was in Lady Jin's room, receiving her "consolation."

Lady Jin, holding Bai Zhi in her arms, let out a soft sigh and said, "Zhi, I know you are a strong-willed child."

"However, the family has its own considerations."

"The Flower Morning Festival has already attracted the attention of many big shots in the Eastern Administrative Region."

"They want to use this place for an experiment, to see the power of a demigod's descent and to observe the subsequent impact after the secret realm is fully deciphered."

"During this period, many VIPs and personnel from regional-level departments will come to Emerald City for inspections."

"Under such circumstances, the workload for the Security Bureau will be extremely heavy, and appointing you as the director would actually be harming you."

"After all, you don't have much management experience. Your mind...uh, isn't particularly smart. Not to mention receiving those people, even dealing with the myriad schemes of those dozen or so Municipal Councilors in Emerald City would be tough for you."

"So, the family decided..."

Listening to Lady Jin's rambling words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but interrupt her, then said, "Lady Jin, you don't need to explain so much to me."

"Although I really don't understand the various considerations of the family. But...how should I say this, I actually don't care about the position of the director."

She smiled and said, "Moreover, I think I'm quite happy with the way I am now."

"I never wanted to do clerical work, didn't want to handle those complicated official duties, nor did I want to engage in cunning machinations with others."

"Fang Ze is one of our own. He's smart, and with him there, I no longer have to do the things I don't like."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lady Jin appeared noticeably stunned.

Clearly, in her heart, or based on the attitude Bai Zhi had shown over the past decade, it wasn't supposed to be like this.

She reflected for a moment, then, with a look of heartache, stroked Bai Zhi's hair and said, "Zhi, are you really angry with the family?"

"I know you're not someone without ambition."

"You've always been very motivated and have always worked hard for the family's glory."

She said with some pain and urgency, "So, how could you ever want to live a life of idleness, doing nothing but whatever you please?"

"How are you any different from those Grass Bags who have no pressures in life and only know to eat their fill, play until tired, sleep until satiated, and eat when awake?"

"How could you possibly want to be that kind of person!"

Listening to Lady Jin's words, the smile on Bai Zhi's face could hardly be restrained anymore, and she said laughing, "Lady Jin, I want to be, I really do want to be!"

She earnestly repeated, "Actually, I have always wanted to be the Grass Bag you all see in your eyes! Really!"

Lady Jin: ???

Lady Jin was somewhat baffled.

She couldn't help but scrutinize Bai Zhi's expression carefully, trying to see if Bai Zhi was speaking out of spite.

But...Bai Zhi's expression was filled with joy, her gaze very sincere.

At that moment, Lady Jin felt a bit stunned. She suddenly felt like she had never truly understood Bai Zhi.

Could it be that she and the rest of the family had been misreading her all these years?

Then why had she always pretended to be hardworking and ambitious all these years?

Thinking about it, Lady Jin inadvertently thought of the event from years ago that had caused a drastic change in Bai Zhi's temperament...

That event that had a profound impact on the entire Eastern Administrative Region...
