BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113 - Towards Damocles
"Then please protect me, Rose."
After Gu Pisu uttered these words, Qiu Meihua\'s hand twitched slightly with a strong urge to punch the person\'s face—that was exactly the kind of face the person had, a punchable face.
Nevertheless, she suppressed the urge before snorting disdainfully, "How shameless can you be? I have no obligation nor interest in helping you, Gu Pisu. Give it up. It will never work out between us."
"I am only interested in a man who can shield me from the winds and rains, not a man who will pull me down. But this is fine as well. At least I know the Gu family has no hope of overtaking my Qiu family with such a useless heir."
"Why must you bring family interest into this? Why can\'t it just be about us?" Gu Pisu said helplessly, feeling somewhat annoyed inside.
"There is no us—only you and what you want. Leave me out of this, Gu Pisu." Qiu Meihua spoke coolly, standing on the edge of the car park before adding, "Laters."
Shortly after, Qiu Meihua jumped off from the edge, free-falling from the third floor before landing on the back of a Harpie-shaped flying interdimensional beast, killing it right after with her katana before moving onto the next target.
Within moments, Qiu Meihua disappeared from sight.
Gu Pisu\'s friendly expression immediately disappeared after Qiu Meihua left before spitting to the side, "Tch! Women are so hard to please."
"When you have nothing respectable or redeemable about yourself, that can only be the case," another male\'s voice trickled into Gu Pisu\'s ears with a snickering tone from somewhere nearby.
Shortly after spotting the Doyle family\'s heir walking out from behind a supporting pillar, Gu Pisu asked with furrowed brows, "Young Master Cedric was spying on me?" What do you mean by those words?"
"Not at all, but if you can\'t even recognize your own flaws, then you are a lost cause, mah man." Cedric Doyle shrugged nonchalantly before adding, "It is even worse when you behave the way that you do. That\'s not how you please a woman."
"Impossible. The guide on the internet says women love it when men are nice and friendly to love, buying anything they like." Gu Pisu frowned, not ashamed to admit seeking online \'experts\' for help.
"What kind of guide was that? How to be a simp? Hahaha. Because that is definitely not how to win a woman\'s heart." Cedric Doyle laughed before saying, "Some vain women are like that, but the Qiu family\'s princess is not just any woman, mate."
"Last I checked, you were also a big simp for the Seymour family\'s princess," Gu Pisu retorted with a contorted expression, causing Cedric Doyle\'s expression to become less jovial.
After a moment, Cedric Doyle sighed, "Was a simp. But then I realized it is better to let go when some things can\'t be forced. Still, a woman\'s mind is such an enigma, unable to unravel, unable to understand. Haiz… Well, never mind. It is better not to set the standards too high."
"Boys like to conquer hard-to-get girls while girls like to date bad boys, thinking they can change them—only to get hurt in the end. Of course, I don\'t speak for all boys and girls, but it really makes me wonder what the heck they were thinking."
"No need to think too deeply. The world is simply full of idiots—you and I included." Gu Pisu fully recognized himself as well.
However, Cedric Doyle was displeased and immediately insulted, "Yeah, like the one who named you and your little brother. Tsk, tsk. Such a lousy naming sense."
"How dare you!" Gu Pisu barked, enraged by the insult thrown at his father before his expression froze on the handgun directed at him.
Click!
The safety lock was released before Gu Pisu trembled slightly.
However, he gazed into Cedric Doyle\'s eyes with a frown before speaking deeply, "What\'s the meaning of this, Young Master Cedric? You wouldn\'t dare to kill—"
Bang!
Gu Pisu was immediately stunned by the shot before glancing at his bleeding chest; his face paled before the following pain made his expression contort.
"Ahh!"
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong, Young Master Pisu. I do dare to kill you." Cedric Doyle stowed away his handgun nonchalantly.
Gu Pisu dropped to the ground while clenching his bleeding heart before barking, "Are you trying to start a war between our families?!"
"Not at all. With the current chaos in the city, no one will know how you died. It is time for the Gu family to step down from the fourth spot among the top five families in Silvercove city."
"See you around never again, Young Master Pisu." Cedric Doyle grinned, hopping into his black Mustang before taking off and leaving Gu Pisu to bleed to death.
…
As the spacecraft exited the atmosphere, Albion glanced outside the reinforced glass window, observing the breathtaking view of the beautiful blue planet calmly with interest.
"Uwahh! Please let me go, Master! I don\'t make me train! Please let me go back!" Cao Wudi continued to cry while hugging Albion\'s leg.
Knowing his master\'s training habits, he might just get tossed into a sea of space-type interdimensional creatures now that they were heading into outer space!
"More like you let go of ME!" Albion tried to shrug Cao Wudi off casually before chuckling shortly, "Are you sure you want to go back? It\'s a long way down."
Cao Wudi was immediately stunned.
Taking a glance outside, he quickly trembled with fright before smiling with a face that looked no different to a pig that was about to be butchered, "Ughk… on second thoughts, I like being with Master."
"That\'s better."
Albion smiled lightly with his hands linked behind his back before his eyes suddenly flickered with an amusing thought, \'There\'s an imposter among us.\'
"We are expected to be reaching Damocles soon, my Lord. You have never seen the space station before, right? What do you think of it?" Emperor Polemos suddenly asked with a proud look while piloting the spacecraft.
Albion glanced over to the front deck before seeing the giant space station that was equivalent to a small city in size before giving his answer after a moment of thought, "Well, it is certainly out of this world."
"Ughk… I see…"
Polemos nearly choked on another one of the Lord\'s puns, uncertain whether Albion\'s praise was serious or not.
