Chapter 593 - 184: Seeing Through Anger and Delusion
"What was the audio file you sent to that woman’s husband just now?" Chen Yan asked curiously.
"I recorded the process in the restaurant earlier when I was cursing that woman," the man laughed, "Her husband hates her guts. After finding out about her boy toy outside, he came to me to handle the divorce. But he holds a grudge, you see. Working hard to earn money, supporting his wife to live in luxury with a fancy car and a mansion, only for her to use his money to support another man. Being made a fool, wouldn’t he hate her?"
So, as per the service agreement, after the divorce, I had to deliberately dump that woman and then curse her to her face, stripping away her dignity, record it, and let her husband listen to it. Only then would he feel relieved."
As he spoke, the man took out a pack of cigarettes, offered one to Chen Yan, lit his own, and started chatting casually with Chen Yan.
The career he was in could be considered unscrupulous.
But, during the scene in the Western restaurant earlier, Chen Yan had been observing from the side the whole time—he also felt the woman deserved it.
If this guy wasn’t his target, Chen Yan would have liked to applaud him.
Moreover, according to the man, in his line of work, he also had his limits.
As the saying goes, "flies don’t sting seamless eggs."
When clients come to him, requesting him to secretly seduce their partners,
he would usually take a deposit and then proceed to seduce them.
At first, he only seduced them three times. After three attempts, if the person remained steadfast and loyal to their relationship and marriage, he would immediately withdraw and never disturb them again, even returning the deposit.
"I can’t really do bad things, you know. If the woman I’m sent to seduce is truly loyal and faithful, how could I harm her? So, I only test them three times initially. If it doesn’t work, I immediately back off."
But as he said this, the man’s expression became peculiar, and he chuckled, "However, over the years... heh, I discovered something interesting.
In today’s world, moral values are declining, and relationships between men and women are getting worse. People are becoming more selfish and corrupt. Concepts like emotional investment and loyalty are becoming rarer. Marriages are fragile, and relationships compared to gold are rare, but there are plenty of people with ulterior motives sleeping together!
Most of the assignments I take, they don’t even last three attempts before the target’s thoughts start to wander.
In all these years, I’ve encountered fewer than you can count on one hand who can withstand three tries."
After saying that, Chen Yan’s gaze towards the man became a bit strange.
After the man finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt out of the car window and chuckled nervously, "Immortal Official, that’s all there is to it. I know what the Inspection Bureau does, but as a minor practitioner in this world, I would never dare to do anything evil. Even in this current line of work, I adhere to my principles and don’t dare to misuse spells recklessly.
With just what I’ve done, it’s not enough to warrant the Inspection Bureau coming to suppress me, right?"
Having said that, the man’s eyes darted nervously, watching Chen Yan.
Chen Yan was silent for a while, then gave the man a glance, "Do you think what you’ve done doesn’t cross any boundaries?"
"Of course, I don’t kill or set fires, I don’t commit crimes in this world.
Moreover, I can guarantee that those women I successfully seduce aren’t truly committed to their relationships. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be swayed in less than three attempts."
Chen Yan gave a slight smile, "Do you think that’s enough? If what you’ve been doing didn’t break any rules, I wouldn’t have come to you."
Hearing this, the man’s face turned white immediately.
Chen Yan slowly said, "You’ve crossed the line! The things you’ve done, who knows how many relationships you’ve ruined—this disrupts the fate of this world!"
This matter is both simple and complex to explain.
Put it this way, originally, a man and a woman might muddle through decades together.
As for feelings, even if they’re not great, modern marriages, when you lay it out, aren’t they just like that? Aren’t many people just muddling along?
Because this guy intervened...
Many families that might have just managed have directly collapsed. This ruined numerous relationship fates.
And more!
For example, some couples might have managed to get by—maybe if they continued, they could have had children.
But then, bang, it broke off!
The children who should have been born won’t be born—this isn’t just about disrupting relationship fates anymore.
Because of him, countless people weren’t born?
A person lives for decades, influencing numerous social relations, networking, career achievements, directly and indirectly influencing countless others?
This, isn’t it all messed up?
Chen Yan didn’t dislike the man, even found him quite interesting, but business was still business.
Chen Yan simply explained these things to the man, and the man was dumbfounded with his mouth open, "No, nobody taught me about these things.
Immortal Official, I came to this world at a young age, without parents, and no one to guide me on what I could or couldn’t do! Isn’t it said ignorance absolves one of guilt! I..."
Chen Yan deliberately shot a cold look at this guy, watched him for a while, and saw the guy shrink into himself.
"What kind of Spirit Monster are you?"
"Immortal Official, I, I am originally an Xu Shui Toad."
